Clean Water Action Section 404/401 Permit Modification
Mr. Roden -Reynolds and Mr. Johnson,
The Stowe Regional Water Resource Recovery Facility (RWRRF) & Associated
Infrastructure Projects (the Project) is proposed to be a regional water resource recovery
facility (RWRRF) (Appendix A, Figure 1). Over a series of construction and implementation
phases, the Project would provide regional wastewater treatment capacity for existing
customers and for anticipated population growth in northwestern Mecklenburg County and
eastern Gaston County by treating wastewater from Mt. Holly, Belmont, Clariant, and the
Long Creek Basin in Mecklenburg County.
In May of 2020, the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the NC
Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Division of Water Resources (DWR)
issued a CWA Section 404 permit for Nationwide Permits (NWP) 12 and 14 (SAW-2019-
01988) as seen in Appendix B and a CWA Section 401 Water Quality Certification 4139
(DWR #20-0405) as seen in Appendix C, respectively. The USACE requested that the
Applicant submit a project -wide Section 10 and Section 404 application to include future
phases beyond the initial phase that proposed impacts to Waters of the U.S. (WoUS).
HDR Engineering Inc. of the Carolinas (HDR) has provided Clean Water Act (CWA)
Section 404/401 permitting services as well as natural resources investigations to
Charlotte Water to support project development.

Stowe RWRRF & Associated Infrastructure Projects
Permit Modification I SAW-2019-01988
Project design changes have required and expansion to the Project Boundary (Appendix
A, Figure 1) as well as updates to the approved permits, which are discussed herein.
Jurisdictional Determination:
The USACE issued an Approved Jurisdictional Determination on July 31, 2020 (Appendix
D). On September 3rd, 2021 environmental scientists from HDR investigated approximately
95 additional acres of the Project Site and documented three (3) streams and (1) wetland
which totaled an additional 1,608 linear feet of stream and 0.15 acres of wetland. These
additional features will be avoided from impacts. A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination
request to include these additional features in the expanded Project Boundary can be
found in Appendix F.
Protected Species
Known populations of Helianthus schweinitzii exist in the powerline easement as seen in
Figure 2 (Appendix A). Environmental scientists with HDR visited a known reference
population of the species on September 131", 2021, prior to conducting species specific
surveys during the flowering window of the expanded Project Boundary. The exiting known
populations of Helianthus schweinitzii were confirmed and the remainder of the powerline
easement, as well surrounding area was surveyed for additional populations — none were
observed. For revised Impact 2 discussed below (location shift of HDD alignment), the
laydown area as well as the tailings for the horizontal directional drilling (HDD) will occur
approximately 50' away from these known populations to ensure their protection.
Measures will be put in place, such as extra erosion control fencing and orange tree
protection fencing around the existing known populations; no direct or indirect impacts to
this population are anticipated. Therefore, no impacts to federal or state protected species
are anticipated.
Original Proposed Impacts (SAW-2019-01988 and DWR# 20-0405)
Total project impacts that were approved across all three phases are summarized in Table
1, and approved Phase I project impacts are summarized in Table 2.

A 2:1 wetland mitigation ratio was approved for the 0.2 acre of wetland impacts proposed
in Phase I (Impacts 1, 3, 4, and 6) for a total of 0.4 wetland mitigation credits. The
mitigation transfer letter allocating credits for these impacts is attached in Appendix D.
Isolated, non -jurisdictional wetland impacts (Impact 5) did not require mitigation. These
permit approvals also permitted 0.10 acres of impact to Section 10 waters (Impact 2).
The NCDEQ DWR Section 401 approval provided written authorization without mitigation
for impacts to the Catawba River Buffer that extends upstream into Long Creek. These
buffer impacts totaled 6,410 square feet of Catawba River Buffer Zone 1 impact, and
4,494 square feet of Catawba River Buffer Zone 2 impact at the southern bridge crossing
of Long Creek (Impact 6).
Approved Phase 2 impacts are summarized in Table 3 and have not yet occurred;
however, in this permit modification revisions to Impacts 1 and 2 (in Phase 1) and Impact 8

Impact 1: Original impact repositioned within the Wetland 10 and increased from 0.04 to
0.053 acres due to a redesign of the Stowe facility, resulting in a net increase of 0.013
acre of wetland impact (Figure 3A and 313, Appendix A).
Impact 2: The HDD alignment has been revised more northward (or upstream) by
approximately 250 feet (Figure 5, Appendix A). The impacts will remain under Section 10
but will not have any impact to surface waters.
Impact 8: The floating boat dock is proposed to be repositioned south of previous location.
Section 10 impact amount of 0.10 acres remains for the dock (Figure 4A and 4B, Appendix
A).
Newly Proposed Impacts:
Table 5 below summarizes the proposed new Impacts 10 and 11, that are necessary for
installation and access of the effluent outfall and floating boat dock.

Impact 10: Section 404/401 permanent impact (fill) to Wetland 17 totaling 0.016 acres for
the construction of an access route and continued maintenance of the effluent outfall utility
easement (Figures 4A and 4B, Appendix A).
Impact 11: Section 404/401 permanent impact (fill) to the Catawba River totaling 27 linear
feet of streambed, paralleling the streambank. Fill will consist of riprap to protect the
effluent outfall (Figures 4A and 4B, Appendix A).
In total, the revisions and newly proposed impacts would result in a net increase of 0.029
acre of wetland impact (revised Impact 2 and new Impact 10). These impacts are
proposed to be mitigated at a 2:1 ratio for a total of 0.058 credits. The City of Charlotte
Umbrella Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank has confirmed wetland credit availability to
accommodate this request upon approval of the permitting amendment (Appendix E).
Impact 11 proposes impacts to 27 linear feet of streambed of the Catawba River; no
mitigation is proposed for the stream impacts.
Catawba River Vegetation Buffer
With the newly proposed Impacts 10 and 11 (Figure 6, Appendix A), approximately 1,388
square feet of Zone 1 and 927 square feet of Zone 2 of the Catawba River Buffer will be
cleared. Half of this amount will be used to maintain a new easement for the utility lines
associated with the outfall from the wastewater treatment plant. Under use `kk' Zone 2
impacts are deemed allowable, and Zone 1 impacts less than 2,500 square feet are
allowable with written authorization. =The second half would be under use 'rr' as this will
provide access to the surface water and to a dock that will be for upkeep of the outfall, the
width of which will be less than 15 feet.

providing the mitigation identified in this document (see the table above), associated with the USACE Permittee and Action
ID number shown. I also verify that released credits (and/or advance credits for NCDMS), as approved by the USACE, are
currently available at the mitigation site identified above. Further, I understand that if the Sponsor fails to provide the
required compensatory mitigation, the USACE Wilmington District Engineer may pursue measures against the Sponsor to
ensure compliance associated with the mitigation requirements.
Mitigation Sponsor Name:
Name of Sponsor's Authorized Representative:
Signature of Sponsor's Authorized Representative Date of Signature

Conditions for Transfer of Compensatory Mitigation Credit:
• Once this document has been signed by the Mitigation Sponsor and the USACE is in receipt of the signed form, the
Permittee is no longer responsible for providing the mitigation identified in this form, though the Permittee remains
responsible for any other mitigation requirements stated in the permit conditions.
• Construction within jurisdictional areas authorized by the permit identified on page one of this form can begin only after
the USACE is in receipt of a copy of this document signed by the Sponsor, confirming that the Sponsor has accepted
responsibility for providing the mitigation requirements listed herein. For authorized impacts conducted by the North
Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), construction within jurisdictional areas may proceed upon permit
issuance; however, a copy of this form signed by the Sponsor must be provided to the USACE within 30 days of permit
issuance. NCDOT remains fully responsible for the mitigation until the USACE has received this form, confirming that the
Sponsor has accepted responsibility for providing the mitigation requirements listed herein.
• Signed copies of this document must be retained by the Permittee, Mitigation Sponsor, and in the USACE administrative
records for both the permit and the Bank/ILF Instrument. It is the Permittee's responsibility to ensure that the USACE
Project Manager (address below) is provided with a signed copy of this form.
• If changes are proposed to the type, amount, or location of mitigation after this form has been signed and returned to
the USACE, the Sponsor must obtain case -by -case approval from the USACE Project Manager and/or North Carolina
Interagency Review Team (NCIRT). If approved, higher mitigation ratios may be applied, as per current District guidance
and a new version of this form must be completed and included in the USACE administrative records for both the permit
and the Bank/ILF Instrument.
Comments/Additional Conditions: A letter from City of Charlotte Umbrella Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank,
confirming they are willing and able to accept the applicant's compensatory mitigation responsibility, dated 2/18/2020 was
included with the preconstruction notification.
This form is not valid unless signed below by the USACE Project Manager and by the Mitigation Sponsor on Page 1. Once
signed, the Sponsor should provide copies of this form along with an updated bank ledger to:1) the Permittee, 2) the USACE
Project Manager at the address below, and 3) the Wilmington District Mitigation Office, Attn: Todd Tugwell, 11405 Falls
of Neuse Road, Wake Forest, NC27587 (email: todd. tugwell@usace. army. mil). Questions regarding this form or any of the
permit conditions may be directed to the USACE Project Manager below.

area. [Required]
❑ Waters subject to the ebb and flow of the tide.
❑ Waters are presently used, or have been used in the past, or may be susceptible for use to transport interstate or foreign commerce.
Explain:
B. CWA SECTION 404 DETERMINATION OF JURISDICTION.
There are "waters of the U.S." within Clean Water Act (CWA) jurisdiction (as defined by 33 CFR part 328) in the review area. [Required]
1. Waters of the U.S.
a. Indicate presence of waters of U.S. in review area (check all that apply):'
❑ TNWs, including territorial seas
❑ Wetlands adjacent to TNWs
❑X Relatively permanent waters' (RPWs) that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs
❑Non-RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs
® Wetlands directly abutting RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs
❑X Wetlands adjacent to but not directly abutting RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs
❑ Wetlands adjacent to non-RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs
❑ Impoundments of jurisdictional waters
❑ Isolated (interstate or intrastate) waters, including isolated wetlands
b. Identify (estimate) size of waters of the U.S. in the review area:
Non -wetland waters: 13,249 linear feet, wide, and/or 8.81 acres.
Wetlands: 32.44 acres.
c. Limits (boundaries) of jurisdiction based on: Established OHWM
Elevation of established OHWM (if known):
' Boxes checked below shall be supported by completing the appropriate sections in Section III below.
2 For purposes of this form, an RPW is defined as a tributary that is not a TNW and that typically flows year-round or has continuous flow at least "seasonally"
(e.g., typically 3 months).

2. Non -regulated waters/wetlands (check if applicable):'
©Potentially jurisdictional waters and/or wetlands were assessed within the review area and determined to be not jurisdictional.
Explain: Wetland 8 and Wetland 9 were determined to be isolated features due to lack of evidence of a surface water
connection. The two onsite sludge ponds were determined to be constructed in uplands and not an impoundment of waters
of the United States.
SECTION III: CWA ANALYSIS
A. TNWs AND WETLANDS ADJACENT TO TNWs
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over TNWs and wetlands adjacent to TNWs. If the aquatic resource is a TNW, complete
Section III.A.1 and Section III.D.1. only; if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW, complete Sections III.A.1 and 2
and Section III.D.1.; otherwise, see Section IILB below.
1. TNW
Identify TNW:
Summarize rationale supporting determination:
2. Wetlandadjacent to TNW
Summarize rationale supporting conclusion that wetland is "adjacent'
B. CHARACTERISTICS OF TRIBUTARY (THAT IS NOT A TNW) AND ITS ADJACENT WETLANDS (IF ANY):
This section summarizes information regarding characteristics of the tributary and its adjacent wetlands, if any, and it helps
determine whether or not the standards for jurisdiction established under Rapanos have been met.
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over non -navigable tributaries of TNWs where the tributaries are "relatively permanent
waters" (RPWs), i.e. tributaries that typically flow year-round or have continuous flow at least seasonally (e.g., typically 3
months). A wetland that directly abuts an RPW is also jurisdictional. If the aquatic resource is not a TNW, but has year-round
(perennial) flow, skip to Section III.D.2. If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow,
skip to Section III.D.4.
A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abut an RPW requires a significant nexus evaluation. Corps districts and
EPA regions will include in the record any available information that documents the existence of a significant nexus between a
relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial (and its adjacent wetlands if any) and a traditional navigable water, even
though a significant nexus finding is not required as a matter of law.
If the waterbody4 is not an RPW, or a wetland directly abutting an RPW, a JD will require additional data to determine if the
waterbody has a significant nexus with a TNW. If the tributary has adjacent wetlands, the significant nexus evaluation must
consider the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands. This significant nexus evaluation that combines, for
analytical purposes, the tributary and all of its adjacent wetlands is used whether the review area identified in the JD request is
the tributary, or its adjacent wetlands, or both. If the JD covers a tributary with adjacent wetlands, complete Section III.B.1 for
the tributary, Section III.B.2 for any onsite wetlands, and Section III.B.3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary, both onsite
and offsite. The determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section III.0 below.

'A natural or man-made discontinuity in the OHWM does not necessarily sever jurisdiction (e.g., where the stream temporarily flows underground, or where
the OHWM has been removed by development or agricultural practices). Where there is a break in the OHWM that is unrelated to the waterbody's flow
regime (e.g., flow over a rock outcrop or through a culvert), the agencies will look for indicators of flow above and below the break.

Wetlands 2, 4, 6, 15 N 3.46
Summarize overall biological, chemical and physical functions being performed: Water storage and filtering.
C. SIGNIFICANT NEXUS DETERMINATION
A significant nexus analysis will assess the flow characteristics and functions of the tributary itself and the functions performed
by any wetlands adjacent to the tributary to determine if they significantly affect the chemical, physical, and biological integrity
of a TNW. For each of the following situations, a significant nexus exists if the tributary, in combination with all of its adjacent
wetlands, has more than a speculative or insubstantial effect on the chemical, physical and/or biological integrity of a TNW.
Considerations when evaluating significant nexus include, but are not limited to the volume, duration, and frequency of the flow
of water in the tributary and its proximity to a TNW, and the functions performed by the tributary and all its adjacent
wetlands. It is not appropriate to determine significant nexus based solely on any specific threshold of distance (e.g. between a
tributary and its adjacent wetland or between a tributary and the TNW). Similarly, the fact an adjacent wetland lies within or
outside of a floodplain is not solely determinative of significant nexus.
Draw connections between the features documented and the effects on the TNW, as identified in the Rapanos Guidance and
discussed in the Instructional Guidebook. Factors to consider include, for example:
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to carry pollutants or flood waters to
TNWs, or to reduce the amount of pollutants or flood waters reaching a TNW?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), provide habitat and lifecycle support functions for fish and
other species, such as feeding, nesting, spawning, or rearing young for species that are present in the TNW?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to transfer nutrients and organic carbon that
support downstream food webs?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have other relationships to the physical, chemical, or
biological integrity of the TNW?
Note: the above list of considerations is not inclusive and other functions observed or known to occur should be documented
below:
1. Significant nexus findings for non-RPW that has no adjacent wetlands and flows directly or indirectly into TNWs. Explain
findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary itself, then go to Section III.D:
2. Significant nexus findings for non-RPW and its adjacent wetlands, where the non-RPW flows directly or indirectly into
TNWs. Explain findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary in combination with all of its
adjacent wetlands, then go to Section III.D:
3. Significant nexus findings for wetlands adjacent to an RPW but that do not directly abut the RPW. Explain findings of
presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands, then go to
Section IILD: Wetlands 2, 4, 6, 15 occur in the floodplain of Perennial RPW 1 (Long Creek) and interchange water during
flooding.

D. DETERMINATIONS OF JURISDICTIONAL FINDINGS. THE SUBJECT WATERS/WETLANDS ARE (CHECK ALL
THAT APPLY):
1. TNWs and Adjacent Wetlands. Check all that apply and provide size estimates in review area:
El TNWs: linear feet, wide, Or acres.
❑ Wetlands adjacent to TNWs: acres.
2. RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs.
® Tributaries of TNWs where tributaries typically flow year-round are jurisdictional. Provide data and rationale indicating that
tributary is perennial: Perennial RPW 1( Long Creek) is a named blue line stream on the USGS map and has the characteristics of a
perennial stream including a defined OHWM, defined bed/bank, supports fish/other wildlife. Perennial RPPW 7 flows into a
wetland that abuts Perennial RPW 1 and has an OHWM, defined bed/bank and other indicators of perennial flow.
® Tributaries of TNW where tributaries have continuous flow "seasonally" (e.g., typically three months each year)are
jurisdictional. Data supporting this conclusion is provided at Section IILB. Provide rationale indicating that tributary flows
seasonally: Seasonal RPWs 2 through 6 have a defined OHWM, defined bed/bank, and other traits of seasonal flow.
Provide estimates for jurisdictional waters in the review area (check all that apply):
®Tributary waters: 13,249 linear feet width varies.
❑ Other non -wetland waters: acres.
Identify type(s) of waters:
3. Non-RPWs' that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs.
❑ Waterbody that is not a TNW or an RPW, but flows directly or indirectly into a TNW, and it has a significant nexus with a
TNW is jurisdictional. Data supporting this conclusion is provided at Section IILC.
Provide estimates for jurisdictional waters within the review area (check all that apply):
❑ Tributary waters: linear feet, wide.
❑ Other non -wetland waters: acres.
Identify type(s) of waters:
4. Wetlands directly abutting an RPW that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs.
® Wetlands directly abut RPW and thus are jurisdictional as adjacent wetlands.
® Wetlands directly abutting an RPW where tributaries typically flow year-round. Provide data and rationale indicating that
tributary is perennial in Section III.D.2, above. Provide rationale indicating that wetland is directly abutting an RPW:
Wetlands 5, 7, 10,11,12,13, 14,16, and 17 abut Perennial RPW 1 (Long Creek).
® Wetlands directly abutting an RPW where tributaries typically flow "seasonally." Provide data indicating that tributary is
seasonal in Section IILB and rationale in Section III.D.2, above. Provide rationale indicating that wetland is directly
abutting an RPW: Wetland 1 abuts Seasonal RPW 2, which flows into and out of Wetland 1.

with similarly situated adjacent wetlands, have a significant nexus with a TNW are jurisdictional. Data supporting this
conclusion is provided at Section III.C.
Provide estimates for jurisdictional wetlands in the review area: acres.
7. Impoundments of jurisdictional waters?
As a general rule, the impoundment of a jurisdictional tributary remains jurisdictional.
'See Footnote # 3.
'To complete the analysis refer to the key in Section III.D.6 of the Instructional Guidebook.

El Demonstrate that impoundment was created from "waters of the U.S.," or
El Demonstrate that water meets the criteria for one of the categories presented above (1-6), or
❑ Demonstrate that water is isolated with a nexus to commerce (see E below).
E. ISOLATED [INTERSTATE OR INTRA-STATE] WATERS, INCLUDING ISOLATED WETLANDS, THE USE,
DEGRADATION OR DESTRUCTION OF WHICH COULD AFFECT INTERSTATE COMMERCE, INCLUDING ANY
SUCH WATERS (CHECK ALL THAT APPLY):"
❑ which are or could be used by interstate or foreign travelers for recreational or other purposes.
El from which fish or shellfish are or could be taken and sold in interstate or foreign commerce.
❑ which are or could be used for industrial purposes by industries in interstate commerce.
El Interstate isolated waters. Explain:
❑ Other factors. Explain:
Identify water body and summarize rationale supporting determination:
Provide estimates for jurisdictional waters in the review area (check all that apply):
❑ Tributary waters: linear feet, wide.
❑ Other non -wetland waters: acres.
Identify type(s) of waters:
❑ Wetlands: acres.
F. NON -JURISDICTIONAL WATERS, INCLUDING WETLANDS (CHECK ALL THAT APPLY):
❑ If potential wetlands were assessed within the review area, these areas did not meet the criteria in the 1987 Corps of Engineers
Wetland Delineation Manual and/or appropriate Regional Supplements.
El Review area included isolated waters with no substantial nexus to interstate (or foreign) commerce.
❑ Prior to the Jan 2001 Supreme Court decision in "SWANCC," the review area would have been regulated based solely on the
"Migratory Bird Rule" (MBR).
❑ Waters do not meet the "Significant Nexus" standard, where such a finding is required for jurisdiction. Explain:
© Other: (explain, if not covered above): Wetlands 8 and 9 found to be isolated. They appear to be old BMP sites that were not
maintained and are found in upland areas. No overland or subsurface connection to other waters apparent. The site
contains two sludge ponds constructed in uplands with no connection to downstream waters.
Provide acreage estimates for non jurisdictional waters in the review area, where the sole potential basis of jurisdiction is the MBR
factors (i.e., presence of migratory birds, presence of endangered species, use of water for irrigated agriculture), using best professional
judgment (check all that apply):
❑Non -wetland waters (i.e., rivers, streams):linear feet, wide.
❑Lakes/ponds: acres.
❑ Other non -wetland waters: acres. List type of aquatic resource:

Subject: APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and Catawba Riparian Buffer
Authorization with Additional Conditions; Stowe RWRR Project(s), PHASED
Dear Mr. Wilson:
You have our approval, in accordance with the General Certification and those
conditions listed below, for the purpose proposed in your application dated March 4, 2020, and
received by the Division of Water Resources (the Division) on March 25, 2020, and subsequent
information on May 18, 2020. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this
project is covered by Water Quality General Certification Number 4139 which can be viewed on
our web site at https://deg.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/water-resources-
perm its/wastewater-branch/401-wetlands-buffer-permits/401-401-isolated-wetlands-waters-
ro ram The General Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 39 once it is
issued to you by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE). In addition, associated impacts are
authorized by the Catawba Riparian Buffer Rule (15A NCAC 02B .0243 and the conditions listed
below. Please note that you should get any other federal, state or local permits before
proceeding with your project, including those required by (but not limited to) Sediment and
Erosion Control, Non -Discharge, and Water Supply Watershed regulations.
The above noted Certification will expire when the associated 404 permit expires unless
otherwise specified in the General Certification and Buffer Authorization. It is advised that all
conditions of the Certification are reviewed prior to initiation of the project. In addition to the
requirements of the Certification, you must also comply with the following conditions:
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your
application. If you change your project, you must notify us in writing, and you may be
required to send us a new application for a new Certification/Authorization. If total
wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, or of total impacts to
streams (now or in the future) exceed 300 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be
required. Additional buffer impacts may require compensatory mitigation as described in
15A NCAC .0244(9). If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the
Certification and approval letter; and is thereby responsible for complying with all
conditions. 15A NCAC 02H .0506 and 15A NCAC 02B .0243(8), 15A NCAC 02H .0507

Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
A. Preliminary Determination
❑ There appear to be waters, including wetlands on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404
of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). The
waters, including wetlands have been delineated, and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently accurate
and reliable. The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated DATE. Therefore
this preliminary jurisdiction determination may be used in the permit evaluation process, including determining compensatory
mitigation. For purposes of computation of impacts, compensatory mitigation requirements, and other resource protection
measures, a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat all waters and wetlands that would be affected in any
way by the permitted activity on the site as if they are jurisdictional waters of the U.S. This preliminary determination is not an
appealable action under the Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process (Reference 33 CFR Part 331). However, you may
request an approved JD, which is an appealable action, by contacting the Corps district for further instruction.
❑ There appear to be waters, including wetlands on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404
of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403).
However, since the waters, including wetlands have not been properly delineated, this preliminary jurisdiction determination
may not be used in the permit evaluation process. Without a verified wetland delineation, this preliminary determination is
merely an effective presumption of CWA/RHA jurisdiction over all of the waters, including wetlands at the project area, which
is not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision. We recommend that you have the waters,
including wetlands on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland
delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps.
B. Approved Determination
❑ There are Navigable Waters of the United States within the above described project area/property subject to the permit
requirements of Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403) and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
(CWA)(33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for
a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
® There are waters, including wetlandson the above described project area/property subject to the permit requirements of Section
404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) (33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this
determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ We recommend you have the waters, including wetlands on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be
able to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that
can be verified by the Corps.

SAW-2019-01988
❑X The waters, including wetlands on your project area/property have been delineated and the delineation has been verified by
the Corps. The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated 3/18/2020. We strongly
suggest you have this delineation surveyed. Upon completion, this survey should be reviewed and verified by the Corps. Once
verified, this survey will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to CWA jurisdiction on your property which, provided
there is no change in the law or our published regulations, may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years.
❑ The waters, including wetlands have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat signed by the
Corps Regulatory Official identified below onDATE. Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this
determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ There are no waters of the U.S., to include wetlands, present on the above described project area/property which are subject to the
permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published
regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ The property is located in one of the 20 Coastal Counties subject to regulation under the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA).
You should contact the Division of Coastal Management in Morehead City, NC, at [phone] to determine their
requirements.
Placement of dredged or fill material within waters of the US, including wetlands, without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC § 1311). Placement of dredged or fill material, construction or
placement of structures, or work within navigable waters of the United States without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Sections 9 and/or 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (33 USC § 401 and/or 403). If you have any questions
regarding this determination and/or the Corps regulatory program, please contact David L. Shaeffer at 704-510-1437 or

C. Basis For Determination: Basis For Determination: See the approved iurisdictional determination
form dated 6/1/2020.
D. Remarks: None.
E. Attention USDA Program Participants
This delineation/determination has been conducted to identify the limits of Corps' Clean Water Act jurisdiction for the particular site
identified in this request. The delineation/determination may not be valid for the wetland conservation provisions of the Food Security
Act of 1985. If you or your tenant are USDA Program participants, or anticipate participation in USDA programs, you should request

® Waters are presently used, or have been used in the past, or may be susceptible for use to transport interstate or foreign commerce.
Explain: The Catawba River at this location is listed on the Wilmington District list of navigable waters.
B. CWA SECTION 404 DETERMINATION OF JURISDICTION.
There are "waters of the U.S." within Clean Water Act (CWA) jurisdiction (as defined by 33 CFR part 328) in the review area. [Required]
1. Waters of the U.S.
a. Indicate presence of waters of U.S. in review area (check all that apply):'
❑X TNWs, including territorial seas
❑ Wetlands adjacent to TNWs
❑X Relatively permanent waters' (RPWs) that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs
❑Non-RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs
® Wetlands directly abutting RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs
❑X Wetlands adjacent to but not directly abutting RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs
❑ Wetlands adjacent to non-RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs
❑ Impoundments of jurisdictional waters
❑ Isolated (interstate or intrastate) waters, including isolated wetlands
b. Identify (estimate) size of waters of the U.S. in the review area:
Non -wetland waters: 13,249 linear feet, wide, and/or 12.31 acres.
Wetlands: 32.44 acres.
c. Limits (boundaries) of jurisdiction based on: Established OHWM
Elevation of established OHWM (if known):
' Boxes checked below shall be supported by completing the appropriate sections in Section III below.
2 For purposes of this form, an RPW is defined as a tributary that is not a TNW and that typically flows year-round or has continuous flow at least "seasonally"
(e.g., typically 3 months).

2. Non -regulated waters/wetlands (check if applicable):'
©Potentially jurisdictional waters and/or wetlands were assessed within the review area and determined to be not jurisdictional.
Explain: Wetland 8 and Wetland 9 were determined to be isolated features due to lack of evidence of a surface water
connection. The two onsite sludge ponds were determined to be constructed in uplands and not an impoundment of waters
of the United States.
SECTION III: CWA ANALYSIS
A. TNWs AND WETLANDS ADJACENT TO TNWs
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over TNWs and wetlands adjacent to TNWs. If the aquatic resource is a TNW, complete
Section III.A.1 and Section III.D.1. only; if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW, complete Sections III.A.1 and 2
and Section III.D.1.; otherwise, see Section IILB below.
1. TNW
Identify TNW:
Summarize rationale supporting determination:
2. Wetlandadjacent to TNW
Summarize rationale supporting conclusion that wetland is "adjacent'
B. CHARACTERISTICS OF TRIBUTARY (THAT IS NOT A TNW) AND ITS ADJACENT WETLANDS (IF ANY):
This section summarizes information regarding characteristics of the tributary and its adjacent wetlands, if any, and it helps
determine whether or not the standards for jurisdiction established under Rapanos have been met.
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over non -navigable tributaries of TNWs where the tributaries are "relatively permanent
waters" (RPWs), i.e. tributaries that typically flow year-round or have continuous flow at least seasonally (e.g., typically 3
months). A wetland that directly abuts an RPW is also jurisdictional. If the aquatic resource is not a TNW, but has year-round
(perennial) flow, skip to Section III.D.2. If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow,
skip to Section III.D.4.
A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abut an RPW requires a significant nexus evaluation. Corps districts and
EPA regions will include in the record any available information that documents the existence of a significant nexus between a
relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial (and its adjacent wetlands if any) and a traditional navigable water, even
though a significant nexus finding is not required as a matter of law.
If the waterbody4 is not an RPW, or a wetland directly abutting an RPW, a JD will require additional data to determine if the
waterbody has a significant nexus with a TNW. If the tributary has adjacent wetlands, the significant nexus evaluation must
consider the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands. This significant nexus evaluation that combines, for
analytical purposes, the tributary and all of its adjacent wetlands is used whether the review area identified in the JD request is
the tributary, or its adjacent wetlands, or both. If the JD covers a tributary with adjacent wetlands, complete Section III.B.1 for
the tributary, Section III.B.2 for any onsite wetlands, and Section III.B.3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary, both onsite
and offsite. The determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section III.0 below.

the OHWM has been removed by development or agricultural practices). Where there is a break in the OHWM that is unrelated to the waterbody's flow
regime (e.g., flow over a rock outcrop or through a culvert), the agencies will look for indicators of flow above and below the break.

NAquatic/wildlife diversity. Explain findings: Riparian corridor and wetland fringe provides habitat for common aquatic
terrestrial species of the Carolina Piedmont.
3. Characteristics of all wetlands adjacent to the tributary (if any)
All wetland(s) being considered in the cumulative analysis: 4
Approximately 3.46 acres in total are being considered in the cumulative analysis.
For each wetland, specify the following:
Directly abuts? (Y/N) Directly abuts? (Y/N) Size (in acres)
Wetlands 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17 Y 29.00
Wetlands 2, 4, 6, 15 N 3.46
Summarize overall biological, chemical and physical functions being performed: Water storage and filtering.
C. SIGNIFICANT NEXUS DETERMINATION
A significant nexus analysis will assess the flow characteristics and functions of the tributary itself and the functions performed
by any wetlands adjacent to the tributary to determine if they significantly affect the chemical, physical, and biological integrity
of a TNW. For each of the following situations, a significant nexus exists if the tributary, in combination with all of its adjacent
wetlands, has more than a speculative or insubstantial effect on the chemical, physical and/or biological integrity of a TNW.
Considerations when evaluating significant nexus include, but are not limited to the volume, duration, and frequency of the flow
of water in the tributary and its proximity to a TNW, and the functions performed by the tributary and all its adjacent
wetlands. It is not appropriate to determine significant nexus based solely on any specific threshold of distance (e.g. between a
tributary and its adjacent wetland or between a tributary and the TNW). Similarly, the fact an adjacent wetland lies within or
outside of a floodplain is not solely determinative of significant nexus.
Draw connections between the features documented and the effects on the TNW, as identified in the Rapanos Guidance and
discussed in the Instructional Guidebook. Factors to consider include, for example:
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to carry pollutants or flood waters to
TNWs, or to reduce the amount of pollutants or flood waters reaching a TNW?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), provide habitat and lifecycle support functions for fish and
other species, such as feeding, nesting, spawning, or rearing young for species that are present in the TNW?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to transfer nutrients and organic carbon that
support downstream food webs?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have other relationships to the physical, chemical, or
biological integrity of the TNW?
Note: the above list of considerations is not inclusive and other functions observed or known to occur should be documented
below:
1. Significant nexus findings for non-RPW that has no adjacent wetlands and flows directly or indirectly into TNWs. Explain
findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary itself, then go to Section III.D:
2. Significant nexus findings for non-RPW and its adjacent wetlands, where the non-RPW flows directly or indirectly into
TNWs. Explain findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary in combination with all of its
adjacent wetlands, then go to Section III.D:
3. Significant nexus findings for wetlands adjacent to an RPW but that do not directly abut the RPW. Explain findings of
presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands, then go to
Section IILD: Wetlands 2, 4, 6, 15 occur in the floodplain of Perennial RPW 1 (Long Creek) and interchange water during
flooding.

D. DETERMINATIONS OF JURISDICTIONAL FINDINGS. THE SUBJECT WATERS/WETLANDS ARE (CHECK ALL
THAT APPLY):
1. TNWs and Adjacent Wetlands. Check all that apply and provide size estimates in review area:
© TNWs: linear feet, wide, Or 3.5 acres.
❑ Wetlands adjacent to TNWs: acres.
2. RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs.
® Tributaries of TNWs where tributaries typically flow year-round are jurisdictional. Provide data and rationale indicating that
tributary is perennial: Perennial RPW 1( Long Creek) is a named blue line stream on the USGS map and has the characteristics of a
perennial stream including a defined OHWM, defined bed/bank, supports fish/other wildlife. Perennial RPPW 7 flows into a
wetland that abuts Perennial RPW 1 and has an OHWM, defined bed/bank and other indicators of perennial flow.
® Tributaries of TNW where tributaries have continuous flow "seasonally" (e.g., typically three months each year)are
jurisdictional. Data supporting this conclusion is provided at Section IILB. Provide rationale indicating that tributary flows
seasonally: Seasonal RPWs 2 through 6 have a defined OHWM, defined bed/bank, and other traits of seasonal flow.
Provide estimates for jurisdictional waters in the review area (check all that apply):
®Tributary waters: 13,249 linear feet width varies.
❑ Other non -wetland waters: acres.
Identify type(s) of waters:
3. Non-RPWs' that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs.
❑ Waterbody that is not a TNW or an RPW, but flows directly or indirectly into a TNW, and it has a significant nexus with a
TNW is jurisdictional. Data supporting this conclusion is provided at Section IILC.
Provide estimates for jurisdictional waters within the review area (check all that apply):
❑ Tributary waters: linear feet, wide.
❑ Other non -wetland waters: acres.
Identify type(s) of waters:
4. Wetlands directly abutting an RPW that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs.
® Wetlands directly abut RPW and thus are jurisdictional as adjacent wetlands.
® Wetlands directly abutting an RPW where tributaries typically flow year-round. Provide data and rationale indicating that
tributary is perennial in Section III.D.2, above. Provide rationale indicating that wetland is directly abutting an RPW:
Wetlands 5, 7, 10,11,12,13, 14,16, and 17 abut Perennial RPW 1 (Long Creek).
® Wetlands directly abutting an RPW where tributaries typically flow "seasonally." Provide data indicating that tributary is
seasonal in Section IILB and rationale in Section III.D.2, above. Provide rationale indicating that wetland is directly
abutting an RPW: Wetland 1 abuts Seasonal RPW 2, which flows into and out of Wetland 1.
Provide acreage estimates for jurisdictional wetlands in the review area: 22.10 acres.
5. Wetlands adjacent to but not directly abutting an RPW that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs.
© Wetlands that do not directly abut an RPW, but when considered in combination with the tributary to which they are adjacent
and with similarly situated adjacent wetlands, have a significant nexus with a TNW are jurisidictional. Data supporting this
conclusion is provided at Section III.C.
Provide acreage estimates for jurisdictional wetlands in the review area: Wetlands 2, 3, 4, 6, and 15 - 6.86 acres.
6. Wetlands adjacent to non-RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs.
❑ Wetlands adjacent to such waters, and have when considered in combination with the tributary to which they are adjacent and
with similarly situated adjacent wetlands, have a significant nexus with a TNW are jurisdictional. Data supporting this
conclusion is provided at Section III.C.
Provide estimates for jurisdictional wetlands in the review area: acres.
7. Impoundments of jurisdictional waters?
As a general rule, the impoundment of a jurisdictional tributary remains jurisdictional.
'See Footnote # 3.
'To complete the analysis refer to the key in Section III.D.6 of the Instructional Guidebook.

El Demonstrate that impoundment was created from "waters of the U.S.," or
El Demonstrate that water meets the criteria for one of the categories presented above (1-6), or
❑ Demonstrate that water is isolated with a nexus to commerce (see E below).
E. ISOLATED [INTERSTATE OR INTRA-STATE] WATERS, INCLUDING ISOLATED WETLANDS, THE USE,
DEGRADATION OR DESTRUCTION OF WHICH COULD AFFECT INTERSTATE COMMERCE, INCLUDING ANY
SUCH WATERS (CHECK ALL THAT APPLY):"
❑ which are or could be used by interstate or foreign travelers for recreational or other purposes.
El from which fish or shellfish are or could be taken and sold in interstate or foreign commerce.
❑ which are or could be used for industrial purposes by industries in interstate commerce.
El Interstate isolated waters. Explain:
❑ Other factors. Explain:
Identify water body and summarize rationale supporting determination:
Provide estimates for jurisdictional waters in the review area (check all that apply):
❑ Tributary waters: linear feet, wide.
❑ Other non -wetland waters: acres.
Identify type(s) of waters:
❑ Wetlands: acres.
F. NON -JURISDICTIONAL WATERS, INCLUDING WETLANDS (CHECK ALL THAT APPLY):
❑ If potential wetlands were assessed within the review area, these areas did not meet the criteria in the 1987 Corps of Engineers
Wetland Delineation Manual and/or appropriate Regional Supplements.
El Review area included isolated waters with no substantial nexus to interstate (or foreign) commerce.
❑ Prior to the Jan 2001 Supreme Court decision in "SWANCC," the review area would have been regulated based solely on the
"Migratory Bird Rule" (MBR).
❑ Waters do not meet the "Significant Nexus" standard, where such a finding is required for jurisdiction. Explain:
© Other: (explain, if not covered above): Wetlands 8 and 9 found to be isolated. They appear to be old BMP sites that were not
maintained and are found in upland areas. No overland or subsurface connection to other waters apparent. The site
contains two sludge ponds constructed in uplands with no connection to downstream waters.
Provide acreage estimates for non jurisdictional waters in the review area, where the sole potential basis of jurisdiction is the MBR
factors (i.e., presence of migratory birds, presence of endangered species, use of water for irrigated agriculture), using best professional
judgment (check all that apply):
❑Non -wetland waters (i.e., rivers, streams):linear feet, wide.
❑Lakes/ponds: acres.
❑ Other non -wetland waters: acres. List type of aquatic resource:
® Wetlands: Wetland 8 - 0.04 ac.; Wetland 9 - 0.18 acres. 2.53 acre sludge pond.

Looks like we can accommodate the change. Has this been run by the USACE PM yet? If so, can he issue an updated
MRTF for us to fill out and sign?
We can coordinate with Charlotte Water on the increased cost and payment once it has been approved. Our rates were
updated in September, so the additional 0.058 WMUs would come at an increased cost and the total owed would be
$6,310.75. 1 have attached an updated credit request form with a new link to the credit rates page (no need to fill out).
Let me know if you have any questions, otherwise I will just wait for the MRTF form before coordinating with CLTW.
Thanks!

Good afternoon Erin,
I've taken the reins for the Stowe WWTP project from Kelly and it looks like we will be incurring more impacts than
previously expected. Due to a redesign there will be two additional impacts and the elimination of one of the previous
impacts.
They are no longer filling a 0.04 acre area of wetland, however they will be filling the same wetland in a different place
with 0.053 acres to build a retaining wall and building support. Further they will be incurring 0.016 acres of impact to
create an access path for a dock as well as maintain an easement for their HDD effluent lines.
This results in a net additional 0.029 acres of impact. We will be mitigating on a 2:1 basis and would like to see if the City
of Charlotte Umbrella Mitigation Bank is able to accommodate the extra 0.058 acre (or closest increment). This would
still be located in HUC: 03050101.
This is actually my first time going through this process so if I left something out or if there is further information I can
provide please let me know!

Jurisdictional Determination Request
F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One)
❑ I am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminary JD for the property identified herein.
A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) provides an indication that there may
be "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United States"on a property.
PJDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. For the purposes of permitting, all
waters and wetlands on the property will be treated as if they are jurisdictional "waters of
the United States". PJDs cannot be appealed (33 C.F.R. 331.2); however, a PJD is
"preliminary" in the sense that an approved JD can be requested at any time. PJDs do
not expire.
ZI am requesting that the Corps provide an gpbroved JD for the property identified herein.
An Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) is a determination that
jurisdictional "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United
States" are either present or absent on a site. An approved JD identifies the limits of
waters on a site determined to be jurisdictional under the Clean Water Act and/or
Rivers and Harbors Act. Approved JDs are sufficient as the basis for permit
decisions. AJDs are appealable (33 C.F.R. 331.2). The results of the AJD will be
posted on the Corps website. A landowner, permit applicant, or other "affected
party" (33 C.F.R. 331.2) who receives an AJD may rely upon the AJD for five years
(subject to certain limited exceptions explained in Regulatory Guidance Letter 05-
02).
❑ I am unclear as to which JD I would like to request and require additional information
to inform my decision.

Section 404

1) The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in
the review area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option
to request and obtain an approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an
informed decision after having discussed the various types of JDs and their
characteristics and circumstances when they may be appropriate.
2) In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a
Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre -
construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non -reporting NWP or
other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an AJD for the
activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware that: (1) the permit applicant has
elected to seek a permit authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an
official determination of jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the
option to request an AJD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit
authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an AJD could possibly result
in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) the
applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting the terms
and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4) the applicant can
accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with all the terms and
conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has
determined to be necessary; (5) undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject
permit authorization without requesting an AJD constitutes the applicant's acceptance
of the use of the PJD; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered
individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit
authorization based on a PJD constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the
review area affected in any way by that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and
waives any challenge to such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance
or enforcement action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7)
whether the applicant elects to use either an AJD or a PJD, the JD will be processed
as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms
and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively
appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an administrative appeal, it
becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographic
jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official
delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will
provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds
that there "may be" waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be" navigable waters of
the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review
area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following
information:
