Morehead Street Suite 160 Charlotte, NC 28202 T: 704.358.7204 F: 704.358.7205 January 16, 2014 Ms. Laurie Dennison NCDENR - Wetlands Unit 1650 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699 -1650 1 3 ZU14 D NR WIM.A. O4i. I .: %iAUTY Subject: CWA Section 401 Permit Steele Creek Pumping Station Expansion Project, Gravity Sewer, and Westhall Pump Station Elimination Project Dear Ms. Dennison: 143489 Enclosed please find the Pre - Construction Notification and supporting documentation in support of a 401 permit for the above listed project. Proposed Project: Charlotte - Mecklenburg Utility Department (CMUD) proposes to replace the existing Steele Creek pumping station and 24 -inch diameter force main with a new 30 mgd pumping station and approximately 35,500 feet of 36 -inch diameter force main to serve the Steele Creek sewer basin in southwestern in Mecklenburg County. This improve- ment allows CMUD to comply with EPA Consent Order #CWA -04- 2007 -4750 to manage wet- weather flows, enhance reliability and reduce the risk of sanitary sewer overflows (SSO). An Environmental Assessment was conducted including detailed field studies and submitted to the North Carolina State Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) coordinating with the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. The project was issued a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) on October 9, 2013. In addition to the new force main and pump station, two other elements will be con- structed: 30 -inch diameter Steele Creek gravity sewer and the Wetshall Pumping Station Elimination Project. The Steele Creek gravity sewer is approximately 1,600 linear feet of 30 -inch diameter sewer. This sewer shares a common corridor with the new force main and is being constructed with this project to limit the construction impacts to this corridor. The Westhall Pump Station Elimination Project includes the construction of approximately 1,000 ft of 8 -inch sewer to serve the area tributary to the Westhall Pump Station; this will allow the Westhall Pump Station to be taken out of service and demol- ished. The proposed pump station, sewer line and decommissioning of the Westhall pump station and installation of sewer line will temporarily impact, by open cut construction, thirteen intermittent and four perennial streams. This project will not create permanent impacts to streams. Immediately after impacts to stream banks and beds these areas will be restored to pre- construction condition, re- seeded and re- vegetated with native seed, trees and shrubs. Ms. Laurie Dennison NCDENR - Wetlands Unit January 16, 2014 Page 2 Additionally, this project proposes to temporarily disturb 1.274 acres of wetlands and permanently convert 0.375 acres of wetland from forested to emergent wetlands. Compensatory Mitigation is proposed for this project to compensate the state for the loss of wetlands. In -Lieu Fee arrangements have been made with the North Carolina Eco System Enhancement Program. Exceptions to Conditions of General Certification No. 3884: The majority of the project fully complies with conditions set forth in NCDENR Water Quality Certification No. 3884 (WQC 3884). However, there are 7 locations along the proposed route where installation deviates marginally from the conditions outlined in WQC 3884. In all cases, every effort was made to meet certification requirements during design; but in the areas described herein, site constraints would not allow for installa- tion to fully meet all requirements. Descriptions of each location in which conditions cannot not fully be met are provided below: Steele Creek Force Main and Gravity Sewer • Sheet C301, Stations 2 +00 through 4 +00 and 7 +00 through 8 +50 -The maximum 40 -foot construction corridor at this location cannot be met due to the construction of parallel lines (force main and sewer). • Sheet C302, Station 15 +00 through 15 +50 - The force main cannot cross Steele Creek (Stream Crossing #1) at a near perpendicular angle due to the requirement to cross Carowinds Boulevard (adjacent to the stream) at a 90- degree perpendicular crossing. The crossing at this location is approximately 50- degrees to the stream alignment. • Sheet C305, Station 41 +50 - The force main cannot cross the Tributary (Stream Crossing #3) at near perpendicular angle due to property boundary constraints to the south. Altering the crossing at this location would require moving the construction closer to the top of bank of the larger parallel stream to the north and violating the 10 -foot bank separation requirement. The crossing at this location is approximately 60- degrees to the stream alignment. • Sheet C326, Station 238 +50 - The force main cannot cross the second Unnamed Stream crossing (Stream Crossing 913) at a near perpendicular angle due to property and pipe layout constraints related to the Downs Road (NCDOT SR 1129) right -of -way and adjacent Stream Crossing #9A to the west. Given the angle of the stream and local constraints, realignment of the line in this section is not possible. • Sheet C334, Station 315 +75 through 320 +75 - The 10 -foot minimum separation between the construction corridor and top of bank to the adjacent stream cannot be maintained in this location due to the location of the constructed wetland to the northeast of the alignment and existing parallel sewer alignment to the south. Multi- ple alternatives were considered in an attempt to minimize impacts to this crossing area and the chosen alignment is believed to be the best practical alignment. • Sheet C336, Station 336 +00 - The force main cannot cross the storm drainage channel (Stream Crossing #15) at near perpendicular angle due to existing sewer line constraints to the north and the top of bank of Little Sugar Creek to the south. Alter- ing the crossing at this location would require moving the construction closer to ei- ther the existing sewer or the top of bank, violating the 10 -foot bank separation re- Ms. Laurie Dennison NCDENR - Wetlands Unit January 16, 2014 Page 3 quirement. The crossing at this location is approximately 45- degrees to the stream alignment. Westhall Gravity Sewer • The alignment of the sewer passes through a wetland that contains a braided stream system. There is no clearly defined channel and therefore, no determination can be made as to the angle of the crossing. We are limiting construction to a 30- foot -wide corridor through this area in order to minimize impacts as much as possible.

Proposed Project: Charlotte - Mecklenburg Utility Department (CMUD) proposes to replace the existing Steele Creek pumping station and 24 -inch diameter force main with a new 30 mgd pumping station and approximately 35,500 feet of 36 -inch diameter force main to serve the Steele Creek sewer basin in southwestern in Mecklenburg County. This improve- ment allows CMUD to comply with EPA Consent Order #CWA -04- 2007 -4750 to manage wet - weather flows, enhance reliability and reduce the risk of sanitary sewer overflows (SSO). An Environmental Assessment was conducted including detailed field studies and submitted to the North Carolina State Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) coordinating with the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. The project was issued a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) on October 9, 2013. In addition to the new force main and pump station, two other elements will be con- structed: 30 -inch diameter Steele Creek gravity sewer and the Wetshall Pumping Station Elimination Project. The Steele Creek gravity sewer is approximately 1,600 linear feet of 30 -inch diameter sewer. This sewer shares a common corridor with the new force main and is being constructed with this project to limit the construction impacts to this corridor. The Westhall Pump Station Elimination Project includes the construction of approximately 1,000 ft of 8 -inch sewer to serve the area tributary to the Westhall Pump Station; this will allow the Westhall Pump Station to be taken out of service and demol- ished. The proposed pump station, sewer line and decommissioning of the Westhall pump station and installation of sewer line will temporarily impact, by open cut construction, thirteen intermittent and four perennial streams. This project will not create permanent impacts to streams. Immediately after impacts to stream banks and beds these areas will be restored to pre- construction condition, re- seeded and re- vegetated with native seed, trees and shrubs. ncdenr dennison cover letter.doc, Ms. Laurie Dennison NCDENR - Wetlands Unit January 16, 2014 Page 2 Additionally, this project proposes to temporarily disturb 1.274 acres of wetlands and permanently convert 0.375 acres of wetland from forested to emergent wetlands. Compensatory Mitigation is proposed for this project to compensate the state for the loss of wetlands. In -Lieu Fee arrangements have been made with the North Carolina Eco System Enhancement Program. Exceptions to Conditions of General Certification No. 3884: The majority of the project fully complies with conditions set forth in NCDENR Water Quality Certification No. 3884 (WQC 3884). However, there are 7 locations along the proposed route where installation deviates marginally from the conditions outlined in WQC 3884. In all cases, every effort was made to meet certification requirements during design; but in the areas described herein, site constraints would not allow for installa- tion to fully meet all requirements. Descriptions of each location in which conditions cannot not fully be met are provided below: Steele Creek Force Main and Gravity Sewer • Sheet C301, Stations 2 +00 through 4 +00 and 7 +00 through 8 +50 - The maximum 40 -foot construction corridor at this location cannot be met due to the construction of parallel lines (force main and sewer). • Sheet C302, Station 15 +00 through 15 +50 - The force main cannot cross Steele Creek (Stream Crossing #1) at a near perpendicular angle due to the requirement to cross Carowinds Boulevard (adjacent to the stream) at a 90- degree perpendicular crossing. The crossing at this location is approximately 50- degrees to the stream alignment. • Sheet C305, Station 41 +50 - The force main cannot cross the Tributary (Stream Crossing #3) at near perpendicular angle due to property boundary constraints to the south. Altering the crossing at this location would require moving the construction closer to the top of bank of the larger parallel stream to the north and violating the 10 -foot bank separation requirement. The crossing at this location is approximately 60- degrees to the stream alignment. • Sheet C326, Station 238 +50 - The force main cannot cross the second Unnamed Stream crossing (Stream Crossing 9B) at a near perpendicular angle due to property and pipe layout constraints related to the Downs Road (NCDOT SR 1129) right -of -way and adjacent Stream Crossing #9A to the west. Given the angle of the stream and local constraints, realignment of the line in this section is not possible. • Sheet C334, Station 315 +75 through 320 +75 - The 10 -foot minimum separation between the construction corridor and top of bank to the adjacent stream cannot be maintained in this location due to the location of the constructed wetland to the northeast of the alignment and existing parallel sewer alignment to the south. Multi- ple alternatives were considered in an attempt to minimize impacts to this crossing area and the chosen alignment is believed to be the best practical alignment. • Sheet C336, Station 336 +00 - The force main cannot cross the storm drainage channel (Stream Crossing #15) at near perpendicular angle due to existing sewer line constraints to the north and the top of bank of Little Sugar Creek to the south. Alter- ing the crossing at this location would require moving the construction closer to ei- ther the existing sewer or the top of bank, violating the 10 -foot bank separation re- ncdenr dennison cover letter.doc, Ms. Laurie Dennison NCDENR - Wetlands Unit January 16, 2014 Page 3 quirement. The crossing at this location is approximately 45- degrees to the stream alignment. Westhall Gravity Sewer The alignment of the sewer passes through a wetland that contains a braided stream system. There is no clearly defined channel and therefore, no determination can be made as to the angle of the crossing. We are limiting construction to a 30- foot -wide corridor through this area in order to minimize impacts as much as possible.

Our consultant, Brown and Caldwell, is authorized to submit permit applications (i.e., Pre- Construction notification Form) and other supporting documents related to 401/404 permitting. This process will include submittals to various agencies, including the US Army Corps of Engineers, North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, and the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control. Very truly yours, Amy R. Vershol, P. E. Project Manager Charlotte - Mecklenburg Utility Department Engineering Division 5100 Brookshire Boulevard Charlotte, NC 28216 704/399 -2551 Charlotte - Mecklenburg Utility Department Item 3d Purpose of Project In order to comply with EPA Consent Order (No: CWA- 0402007 - 4750), manage wet - weather flows, enhance reliability and reduce risk of sanitary sewer overflows (SSO), Charlotte - Mecklenburg Utility Department (CMUD) is proposing the construction of a new pump station to replace the undersized existing facility at the same location. The project proposes to replace the existing Steele Creek pump station and 24 -inch diameter force main with a new 30 mgd pumping station and 35,500 -foot 36- inch force main connected to an existing discharge at CMUD's McAlpine Creek Waste Water Treatment Plant (WW-FP). The project is needed to provide capacity for CMUD to manage wet - weather flow at the desired level of services for the Steele Creek service area as part of CMUD's Capacity Assurance Program. Implementation of the Capacity Assurance Program was required by EPA Consent Order (No: CWA- 0402007- 4750). This order was received on February 27, 2007 and the Capacity Assurance Program was initiated on January 15, 2009. The overall goal of the Consent Order was to decrease the likelihood of SSO and discharge of sanitary sewer to Waters of the United States (WOUS). The existing Steele Creek pumping station cannot be practically expanded as the existing wetwell does not have sufficient space for additional pumps. Additionally, the existing pump station is located within the 100 -year floodplain. The proposed project will remove the pump station from the floodplain, provide the needed capacity to manage wet - weather flows at the desired level of service for the Steele Creek service area, and support compliance with the Consent Order. In addition to the new force main and pump station, two other elements will be constructed: a 30- inch diameter gravity sewer which connects to the proposed Steele Creek pump station, and the Westhall Pumping Station Elimination Project. The proposed gravity sewer expansion is being implemented adjacent to the proposed force main alignment. Constructing the gravity sewer as part of this project allows CMUD to eliminate the need to disturb the area within the easement more than once. The Westhall gravity sewer project is necessary to eliminate a pump station in a small area north of the Steele Creek project. Item 3e Detailed Project Description The proposed Steele Creek pump station will be a wetwell collection and multi -pump discharge facility located along Choate Circle, in Southwest Charlotte, NC. The station will be sited on a parcel that is currently partially occupied by the existing Steele Creek pump station. Site work will consist of a permanent building to house the pumping equipment and materials and a new permanent driveway for improved access to the station. The existing Steele Creek pump station will be demolished to below grade, backfilled to match the surrounding contours, and re- vegetated. This existing pump station currently delivers wastewater to a collection system via an existing 24 -inch force main where it discharges by gravity flow to CMUD's McAlpine WWTP near Carolina Place Mall in South Charlotte. Upon completion of the replacement pump station, the existing 24 -inch force mail will remain in service as a backup system and only be used in emergencies or during maintenance on the new 36 -inch diameter force main. The project also consists of a new 35,500 -foot force main proposed to connect the pump station to a discharge point on an existing 78 -inch sewer near Carolina Place Mall in Pineville, NC. This force main will generally follow a route along the North Carolina / South Carolina state line in Southern Mecklenburg County in North Carolina and Northern York County in South Carolina. In addition to the new pump station and force main, a 30 -inch diameter gravity sewer expansion and elimination of a pump station along Westhall Road will be completed. The gravity sewer expansion is proposed to be approximately 1,600 linear feet of 30 -inch diameter conduit, constructed from the proposed pump station site to a point west of Carowinds Boulevard. This sewer shares a common corridor with the force main and is being constructed with this project to eliminate the need for multiple construction phases, minimizing overall impacts to this corridor. The Westhall Pump Station Elimination Project includes construction of approximately 1,000 ft of fl- inch gravity sewer to serve a small industrial area north of the Steele Creek pump station. Construction of this gravity sewer will allow the Westhall Pump Station to be taken out of service and demolished. Plans and details for all portions of the project are attached with this submittal. Equipment to be used for construction of these projects will likely include dump trucks, excavators, bulldozers, trucks, and track hoes. 000eer 160 Westhall °'Sr "r Sa:n .tieelY Rrl o d E hebrOrr 4 Sh,,� Gravity Sewer Er Dr 3ohn4nce�a �tordst .a RamParkood �otaR 1 G{eQk 0� ( <1°n 634E S Cor 2 v , 0117/110,) a Ra Q co .h F C < or 49 0 m w / +„ o13se 81v o b tie EWeslinA l -Ooeif Dr Gravity `01>9 SewerJ °aria, Martin Marietta gat, oate 4 ChPark Qr Force Main Route 0 Choi Has � , 4 `a e Cr m� ` ti ac Sr Steele Creek ,�6 Pumping Station 22 _a ASS �s o�ns� ��� v W� io4�i11 FargrR C, d4 Co tl..

Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the highest quality.

Assign points to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the highest quality.

The existing pump station at the northwest corner of the junction of Steele Creek and Choate Circle will be expanded. The force main will extend northeast, east and southeast to tie into an existing gravity sewer main at Carolina Place Parkway /Carolina Place Mall. Initial field work was conducted on October 6 -8, 2008, with a follow -up evaluation of an upland depression swamp forest in May, 2009. Information on the species and communities of concern was downloaded from the NC Natural Heritage Program database for the Fort Mill and Weddington USGS quads. The Heritage Program reports are included in this report. These data provided the basis for the field observations for communities and species of concern reported below. Using a projected corridor on aerial photographs and with a GPS unit as a guide, a team of engineers, surveyors, biologists and wetland delineators traversed the general corridor to determine the exact right -of -way for the FM. This allowed for adjustments to reflect field conditions, which in turn reduced impacts to wetlands and allowed a better location for stream crossings, particularly for the large streams. Parallel existing sewer rights -of- way were used whenever possible to reduce forest impacts. The vegetation in the general area of the project has been impacted by a long history of development in the Charlotte - Pineville area, having been used in an agricultural context prior to the current use for housing, commercial and industrial activities. Almost all of the forests in this project occur in bottomland habitats which reflect prior agricultural use and in most instances subsequent abandonment and secondary succession. The expansion is located immediately west of the existing pump station. The entire area has been impacted by the adjacent commercial development, with the site being a cleared field now undergoing secondary succession. The dominant woody species are Red cedar (Juniperus virginiana) 12 in. diameter breast height (dbh), Winged elm (Ulmus alata) 12 in. dbh and Loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) 4 in. dbh. Other woody species include Multiflora rose (Rosa multijlora) and Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica). Herbaceous species include: Sericea lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata), Brazilian vervain (Verbena brasiliensis), Hyssopleaf eupatorium (Eupatorium hyssopifolium), Rabbit tobacco (Gnaphalium obtusifolium), Eragrostis (Eragrostis pilosa), Redtop (Tidens jlavus), Paspalum (Paspalum laeve) and Broomsedge (Andropogon virginicus). The FM leaves the pump station and parallels, to the north, an existing sewer main. The ROW will pass along the southern edge of successional, abandoned fields and the edge of the floodplain. The upland woody species are densely compacted, consisting of Sweetgum (Liquidambar styrac flua) 30 in. dbh, Red cedar 18 in. dbh, Mockernut Stream and Wetland Delineation and Restoration • Habitat Analysis Invasive Species Management Threatened and Endangered Species Studies • Mitigation Monitoring 404/401 Water Quality Permitting hickory (Carya alba) 18 in. dbh, Winged elm 14 in. dbh, Green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) 14 in. dbh, and Red oak (Quercus rubra) 10 in. dbh. In the floodplain, the dominant species are Cottonwood (Populus deltoides) 23 in. dbh, American elm (U. americana) 20 in. dbh, Sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) 15 in. dbh, and Box elder (Acer negundo) 12 in. dbh, and Persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) 8 in. dbh. This type of forest extends all the way to Carowinds Blvd., with varying amounts and densities of the above trees, depending on conditions. The FM will bore under a small tributary on the west side of the Blvd. at the junction with Steele Creek, under Steele Creek and under Carowinds Blvd. exiting on the east side of the Blvd. into the floodplain of Steele Creek along the south side of the creek. The FM will parallel Steele Creek along the south side through a floodplain forest dominated by Sycamore 22 in. dbh, Sweetgum 22 in. dbh, Cottonwood 18 in. dbh, Red maple (Acer rubrum) 16 in. dbh, Sugarberry (Celtis laevigata) 14 in. dbh, Green ash 13 in. dbh, and American elm 10 in. dbh. The primary understory species is Giant cane (Arundinaria gigantea), with a small amount of Spring silverberry (Elaeagnus umbellata). Progressing eastward through the floodplain toward the developed part of Carowinds, the floodplain supports the same species, with added species including Black walnut (Juglans nigra) 16 in. dbh, Black cherry (Prunus serotina) 16 in. dbh, and extensive patches of Autumn silverberry (Elaeagnus pungens) intermixed with the Spring silverberry. Grass species include Bottlebursh (Elymus hystrix) and Japanese -grass (Microstegium vimineum). The FM crosses two unnamed tributaries (UT) and emerges into the open area of Carowinds, passing through a disturbed upland woods of Mockemut hickory 14 in. dbh, Shagbark hickory (C. ovata) 14 in. dbh, American elm 10 in. dbh, Virginia pine (Pinus virginiana) 10 in. dbh, and Red oak 10 in. dbh. The FM parallels the existing road through mowed grass, staying just inside the North Carolina state line, crosses a berm on the Carowinds property boundary and into a woods, where it turns southeast toward I -77. The woodland is an abandoned field undergoing secondary succession. The dominant tree is Red cedar 18 in. dbh, with an occasional Willow oak (Quercus phellos) 22 in. dbh, Shortleaf pine (P. echinata) 16 in. dbh, Winged elm 8 in. dbh, Green ash 8 in. dbh, Sugarberry 7 in. dbh., with virtually no shrub or understory species. At I -77 the FM turns south, crossing into a grassed field, mixed with Blackberry (Rubus spp.), and Japanese honeysuckle, and Verbesina ( Verbesina occidentalis). The FM will bore under I -77 emerging into a Loblolly pine (P. taeda) forest with trees averaging 16 in. dbh. It will parallel an existing creek which was piped under I -77 and drains to the southeast toward the Martin Marietta quarry. Mixed with the Loblolly pines are Sugarberry 12 in dbh, Sweetgum 7 in. dbh, Red maple 6 in. dbh, White ash 6 in. dbh, Black cherry 5 in. dbh, with Spring silverberry, Japanese honeysuckle, and Poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans). At an existing power line ROW, where the FM will cross the ROW, a wetland exists. Emerging from the wooded slope to the wetland, the dominant species is Tag alder (Alnus serrulata), with reduced woody species under the power lines. The species are a mixture of grasses and sedges, along with Camphorweed (Pluchea camphorata). After crossing the power line, the FM passes along the east side of an extensive wetland, the ROW remaining along the lower slope of an upland hardwood 0J. forest. The dominant species are Southern red oak (Q. falcata) 16 in. dbh, Shagbark hickory 14 in. dbh, Mockemut hickory 13 in. dbh, Sweet pignut hickory (C. ovata) 13 in. dbh, American elm 10 in. dbh, Red mulberry (Morus rubra) 9 in. dbh, with a well developed understory of Buckeye (Aesculus sylvatica). The FM then crosses a low, wide drainage area dominated by Sweetgum and Red maple, then proceeds uphill into a highly disturbed upland forest dominated by White oak (Q. alba) 8 in. dbh, Shortleaf pine 4 in. dbh, Black cherry 4 in. dbh, Red cedar 3 in. dbh, Mockernut hickory 3 in. dbh, Winged elm 2 in. dbh, and Pignut hickory 2 in. dbh. Staying just inside the North Carolina State line, the FM follows an open area along the state line, with a disturbed forest to the northeast. Martin Marietta has cleared almost to the buffer along the state line. The forest remnant is Red cedar 14 in. dbh, Virginia pine 9 in. dbh, Sweetgum 9 in. dbh, and Dogwood (Cornus florida) 6 in. dbh. A small wetland is crossed at the tip of the existing sediment pond for the quarry. The dominant species are Black willow (Salix nigra) and Tag alder. Continuing southeast, the FM passes through disturbed vegetation of Black willow, Elderberry (Sambucus canadensis), Johnson grass (Sorghum halepense), and Goldenrod (Solidago spp.). The FM next passes through a mid - successional forest dominated by Water oak (Quercus nigra) 18 in. dbh, Sweetgum 16 in. dbh, Red cedar 15 in. dbh, Loblolly pine 14 in. dbh, Winged elm 14 in. dbh, Willow oak 13 in. dbh, and Black Cherry 8 in. dbh. This forest type extends almost to the junction with Nations Ford Rd. A loblolly pine (20 in. dbh) forest, with Water oak 15 in. dbh, American elm 9 in. dbh, Red cedar 8 in. dbh, and Hackberry 6 in. dbh occurs at this corner. A headwater UT to McCullough Branch is crossed here. The FM crosses Nations Ford Rd., turning northeast along the south side of the UT to McCullough Branch, passing through active pasture, and then along McCullough Branch, remaining in the open pasture. The FM crosses McCullough Branch into an active agriculture field to an industrial area next to Downs Rd., where it passes through the parking lots to Downs Rd. It then crosses Downs Rd. and parallels an existing sewer main, along the north side, through a floodplain forest. The dominant species include Sugarberry 32 in. dbh, Sycamore 29 in. dbh, Cottonwood 21 in. dbh, Green ash 18 in. dbh, Sweetgum 13 in. dbh, American elm 9 in. dbh, and Box elder 7 in. dbh. Just before Sugar Creek, the FM turns southeast, crosses the existing sewer main and parallels an existing sewer main with a wide maintained ROW, along Sugar Creek. The FM will be placed in this maintained ROW. The FM then crosses Sugar Creek (to the east side) into a floodplain forest dominated by Sycamore 32 in. dbh, Sugarberry 27 in. dbh, American elm 16 in. dbh, Green ash 14 in. dbh, and Willow oak 13 in. dbh. Shrubs include dense stands of Giant cane and Privet (Ligustrum sinense). After crossing a power line ROW, the FM continues about 200 ft. through the floodplain forest and turns east along a UT to Sugar Creek passing up into an upland forest containing Sweetgum 21 in. dbh, Red oak 20 in. dbh, White oak 18 in. dbh, with Dogwood and Deciduous holly (Ilex decidua) in the understory. The FM emerges into an open field, crosses an existing sewer main and turns southeast through the field, paralleling the existing ROW. Initially the forest along the ROW is an overgrown, mid- successional forest containing Red maple 13 in. dbh, Sweetgum 12 in. dbh, Cottonwood 12 in. dbh, and Winged elm 8 in. dbh. The FM continues southeast, paralleling the ROW toward an eventual crossing under the railroad tracks. About 650 ft. northwest of the railroad crossing, the FM encroaches into the western edge of an upland depression swamp forest. The swamp forest extends east from the FM, so the impact is along the edge. The vegetation of the swamp forest has an average canopy dbh of 10 in., with Willow oak 24 in. dbh, Post oak 20 in. dbh, Green ash 8 in. dbh., Water oak 8 in. dbh, Red cedar 8 -10 in. dbh, White oak 8 in. dbh, American elm 8 in. dbh, and Honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos) 6 in dhb. Shrubs include Deciduous holly, Black haw (Viburnum prunifolium) and Chinese privet. Vines include Carolina jessamine (Gelsemium sempervirens), Trumpet vine (Campsis radicans) and Japanese honeysuckle. Herbs include Blue star (Amsonia tabernaemontana var. tabernaemontana), Spring - beauty (Claytonia virginica), Atamasco lily (Zephyranthes atamasco), Small buttercup (Ranunculus pusillus), Buttercup (Ranunculus bulbosus), Violet wood sorrel (Oxalis violacea), and several sedges (Carex spp.). The FM then turns east, paralleling the existing sewer ROW, passes through a disturbed, narrow treeline and bores under a railroad track. On the east side of the track, a disturbed forest occurs containing Red cedar, Black willow, Winged elm, Black gum, all 5 -8 in. dbh, with Multiflora rose and Sericea lespedeza. It then passes into a disturbed open field used as a holding lot for trucks and crosses South Blvd. into a driving range. The FM passes along a paved access to a driving range, crosses the existing sewer main, crosses a wetland/linear drainage, and the driving range. The wetland species include Sedge (Cyperus strigosus.), Arrowhead (Sagittaria latifolia), Ludwigia ( Ludwigia alternifolia), two species of Polygonum ( Polygonum spp.) and Rice cut grass (Leersia oryzoides). It then crosses the existing sewer main, to the south side of the main, still in the driving range and passes into the disturbed riparian vegetation along Little Sugar Creek. Box elder and Sweetgum are the primary trees, but there is a dense ground cover and climbing vegetation comprised of Japanese hops (Humulus japonicus) and Bur cucumber (Sicyos angulatus). The FM crosses Little Sugar Creek just north of a UT feeding into the west side of the creek from the driving range. On the east side of Little Sugar Creek, the FM passes through the floodplain forest south of the ponded, constructed wetland and turns southeast to bore under NC 51 just northeast of the end of the bridge over Little Sugar Creek. The floodplain vegetation on the berm has a few trees and is mostly herbaceous. The trees are Box elder 9 in. dbh, Bradford pear 5 in. dbh, and Green ash 4 in. dbh. The herbs consist of Japanese hops, Johnson grass, Ragweed (Ambrosia artimesiifolia), and Verbesina. The ROW crosses a drainage swale next to NC 51. The swale has a stand of Box elder 6 in. dbh, and a Black willow 11 in. dbh. On the bank of NC 51 is a Black willow 17 in. dbh, covered with Porcelainberry (Ampelopsis brevipedunculata). The FM drops into the floodplain on the terrace along the north bank of the creek. The area north of the terrace toward Carolina Place Parkway is a wetland, but the terrace is very wide. The vegetation on the berm is disturbed, with a few woody species, including Box elder 22 in. dhb, Sugarberry 19 in. dbh, and Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altissima) 15 in. dbh. The FM follows the terrace, crossing a drainage from the wetland. The vegetation on the berm near the drainage is represented by Box elder 27 in. dbh, 4 Cottonwood 19 in. dbh, Sugarberry 16 in. dbh, Red maple 9 in. dbh, Black walnut 8 in. dbh, Sycamore 7 in. dbh, and Pecan (Carya illinoensis) 5 in. dbh. There is no subcanopy. The FM then crosses to the northeast of the existing sewer main to miss a large outside curve erosion area in the creek. It stays in the floodplain, paralleling a floodplain forest dominated by Sugarberry 18 in. dbh, Pecan 15 in. dbh, Black walnut 14 in. dbh, Bitternut hickory (Carya cordiformis) 12 in. dbh, and Honey locust 6 in. dbh. Crossing a sewer main from the shopping center (to the south side) the FM follows the existing open ROW to the junction box. The open area of the existing sewer main is dominated by Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon), Johnson grass, Sericea lespedeza, Goldenrod and Rough marsh -elder (Iva annua var. annua). Combining the two data lists from the NC Natural Heritage program, the following communities and species are of note. Basic oak - hickory forest — Almost all of the ROW follows floodplains and as such no Basic oak - hickory forest was noted. Upland depression swamp forest — One swamp forest was detected and detailed, being located about 650 ft. northwest of the railroad crossing. It is described in the first paragraph on p. 4. It will be impacted only along the westernmost edge. Xeric hardpan forest — No forest of this type was noted during the field work. Colonial wading bird colony — No rookeries were noted during the field work. Carolina heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorata) — This species has a historic record, but there have been recent surveys looking for this species and any other mollusks. Eastern creekshell (Villosa delumbis) — Currently reported from the Weddington USGS quad. Carolina creekshell (Villosa vaughaniana) — Currently reported from the Weddington USGS quad. Contact with the NC Natural Heritage Program and with NC Wildlife Resources did not reveal any collections of these three mollusks from Little Sugar Creek and Sugar Creek in the Pineville area. In a discussion with Ron Linville, NC Wildlife Resources on Oct. 27, 2008, it was concluded that the unstable, urban nature of both creeks in the area of the crossings would not require a mussel survey prior to construction. Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii) is currently reported from the Weddington USGS quad. No Schweinitz's sunflower were seen during the field work. Carolina birdfoot - trefoil (Lotus helleri) is currently reported from the Ft. Mill and Weddington USGS quads. Although there was some disturbed ground, the usual habitat for this species, none was detected. Southeastern bold goldenrod (Oligoneuron rigidum var. glabratum) is currently listed from the Weddington USGS quad. There was no prairie -like habitat in the project area, and no bold goldenrod specimens were noted. Georgia aster (Symphyotrichum georgianum) is listed from the Weddington USGS quad. No specimens were noted during the field work. k, Loggerhead shrike (Lanius ludovicianus) is listed from the Weddington USGS quad. The open field with scattered tree habitat is generally not present. Pastures yes, but not a lot of fields with trees. The four vascular plants, noted above, are all fall - bloomers and would have been readily visible during the field work, if present. There are no recommendations regarding communities or species of concern. Addendum: Fish and wildlife surveys were not included in the description of the habitats within the corridor of the project. The following data provide some insight into the typical species of fish, and of wildlife species found in the scrub and forested habitats of the Piedmont, without comment on their being observed or documented. Typical Piedmont region warmwater stream fishes include bluehead chub (Nocomis leptocephalus), creek chub (Semotilus atromaculatus), rosyside dace (Clinostomus funduloides), white shiner (Luxilus albeolus), sandbar shiner (Notropis scepticus), satinfm shiner (Cyprinella analostana), golden shiner (Notemigonus crysoleucas), creek chubsucker (Erimyzon oblongus), silver redhorse (Moxostoma collapsum), brown bullhead (Ameiurus nebulosus), margined madtom (Noturus insignis), eastern mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki), speckled killifish (Fundulus rathbuni), redbreast sunfish (Lepomis auritus), green sunfish (Lepomis cyanellus), bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus), pumpkinseed (Lepomis gibbosus), black crappie (Pomoxis nigromaculatus), largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides), piedmont darter (Percina crassa), and tesselated darter (Etheostoma olmstedi).

Mecklenburg County, North Carolina The North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (G.S. § 113A) requires that the Division of Water Resources determine whether a proposed major agency action will significantly affect the environment. The Charlotte - Mecklenburg Utilities Department (CMUD) Steele Creek Pump Station Expansion project is such a major action. The project consists of upsizing the existing Steele Creels Pumping Station to 30 million gallons per day and constructing approximately 35,500 linear feet of 36 -inch diameter force main to deliver sanitary sewer flow to an existing 78 -inch gravity sewer upstream of the CMUD's McAlpine Wastewater Treatment Plant. The project is to be located in southwestern Mecklenburg County, with a small portion located in York County, South Carolina. Detailed figures illustrating the location can be found in Section l of the Environmental Assessment. In order to determine whether Steele Creels Pump Station Expansion will cause significant environmental impacts, an environmental assessment has been prepared. The environmental assessment is attached. It contains detailed information on the key issues, including a detailed description of the proposed project, and probable environmental impacts with proposed mitigations. The following is a summary of the probable environmental impacts and associated mitigation activities: Although the force main was located adjacent to existing utility easements wherever practicable in order to minimize impacts, approximately 29 acres of forested land will be permanently cleared for the construction of the pumping station and force main. Installation of the approximately 35,500 l.f. of force main will require a 60 -foot wide construction corridor, which will impact a total of approximately 49 acres of land. Approximately 4.5 acres at the pump station site will be permanently altered by clearing, grading, and compacting the area to provide adequate area for the pumping station and its associated access road. While roughly 1.75 acres of wetlands will be temporarily impacted by installation of the force mains, approximately 0.25 acres of wetlands will be permanently impacted by maintenance of the 10 -foot wide sewer line corridor. Open cut installation of the proposed force main will require fifteen stream crossings, which will temporarily impact approximately 1,156 If of stream channel. Sedimentation and erosion control measures, including the introduction of temporary and permanent vegetation, will limit siltation of local waterways and appropriate seed mixtures will be sown to stabilize any disturbed soils. Construction along streams and wetlands will comply with conditions of the Nationwide Permit No. 12 and DWQ 401 Water Quality Certification, and mitigation for impacts will likely require compensatory efforts. Emissions from construction vehicles and stirred dust may result in temporary and minor localized air quality impacts. If open burning of debris is necessary, it will be conducted in accordance to local regulations. Operation of the emergency generator for the pump station will require an air permit from Mecklenburg County Air Quality. Nuisance noise from machinery and tool operation will occur during project construction. The emergency generator will be enclosed and there will be silencers on the air intakes and exhaust to attenuate noise impacts. The proposed project will not have significant negative direct impacts on land use; prime or unique agricultural lands; any public, scenic, recreational, or state park areas; areas of archaeological or historical value; shellfish or fish and their habitats; wildlife and their habitat; or threatened or endangered species protected under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act.

State and local programs to mitigate impacts in the project area, including buffer regulations, storm water regulations, and land use plans, are described in detail within the EA and include policies that promote orderly growth through proficient use of land and cost - effective provision of sewer service. Therefore, the proposed project should not result in significant SCI. Based on the findings of the EA, the impact avoidance /mitigation measures contained therein, and reviewed by governmental agencies, the Division of Water Resources has concluded that the proposed project will not result in significant impacts to the environment. Since a portion of the project is located in South Carolina, the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control's Bureau of Water was also invited to comment, and stated no concerns. This EA and Finding of No Significant Impact ( FONSI) are prerequisites for the issuance of Division of Water Resources permits necessary for the project's construction. No environmental impact statement (EIS) will be prepared and this FONSI completes the environmental review record. The FONSI and Environmental Assessment shall be available for inspection and comment for 30 days at the State Clearinghouse. Summary of FONSI for publication in the Environmental Bulletin: After completion of an environmental assessment under G.S. 113A, a FONSI has been made in the case of Steele Creek Pump Station Expansion. Information supporting the need for the proposed project was reviewed, along with relative impacts, other alternative approaches and mitigating measures. Thoma A.
