On behalf of Mecklenburg County Parks and Recreation Department, please find attached, a
completed pre-construction notification form (PCN), copies of selected construction documents ,
drawings relevant to the requested permits, and a copy of the Stream Determination Report
provided by GeoSyntec Consultants. This letter serves as application for the respective permits
necessary for compliance with the Clean Water Act regarding alterations to Waters of the State.
Upon review of the provided information below, Lose and Associates, Inc. requests approval
from NCDEC and the Dept. of Army by issuance of a Section 401 Water Quality Certification
and the appropriate Nationwide Permits for the above referenced project.
The existing stream onsite is Toby Creek. This stream is not listed on the EPA's 2006 303(d)
List of Impaired Waters. There are also four (4) intermittent streams which the proposed
greenway will cross by means of HDPE culverts. The Stream Determination Report provided
gives detailed information regarding the existing channel and wetland characteristics. No portion
of the streams or wetlands will be relocated due to construction activity. The total amount of
clearing and grading will be only that which is necessary to construct the greenway. The methods
of excavation will include the use of a backhoe and dozer and the material being placed will be
soils suitable for the construction of the new greenway.
Stream and wetland impacts and all other pertinent information pertaining to this permit can be
found in the attached PCN. Erosion and sediment control measures have been designed for the
site and can be found in the project construction documents. The contractor will be required to
comply with the all State and local erosion control guidelines.
Please process this application at your earliest convenience and feel free to call if you require any
additional information. ~-..

Page 9 of 12

USAGE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.

Toby Creek Greenway PCN attachment
III. 9. Existing Conditions
The proposed Toby Creek Greenway traverses an alluvial forested floodplain
located immediately to the east of Toby Creek and lies within the easement of an
existing sanitary sewer line. The adjacent land use is primarily the University of
North Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC) campus and associated facilities.
10. Proposed Project Details
The proposed Toby Creek Greenway is located northeast of the City of
Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina within the Catawba River
Watershed. The project area is depicted on the Harrisburg U.S. Geologic
Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle map (Figure 1). The project
area is approximately 8,500 feet (1 1/z miles) long and begins at State Route 49
University City Boulevard and terminates at the Toby Creek /Mallard Creek
confluence. Greenway construction will consist of land clearing and grubbing,
grading, and trail surface placement. Limits of construction will be marked with
tree protection fencing and silt fence. Construction equipment will be limited such
to minimize disturbance to stream buffers.
11. Purpose of the proposed work.
Construction is for the purpose of providing a functional and durable greenway
trail for public recreational and UNC campus use.
VI. 1. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
The greenway trail will impact one (1) perennial stream and four (4) intermittent streams.
The trail will parallel Toby Creek and run under an existing triple box culvert under Toby
Creek Road. The box culvert has accumulated approximately four feet of silt and debris.
Most of this silt and debris will be removed for this project and one foot will be left for
aquatic life. The intermittent crossing will be accomplished by circular pipe culverts. The
size and lower quality of these intermittent streams are such that bridging will not be
necessary. The trail will also cross a portion of wetlands that runs parallel to Toby Creek
approximately 0.024 acres. This wetland could not be avoided due to its location.
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
To accomplish the goals of the scenic natural greenway setting the trail must parallel the
creek which requires the minor impact of streams and wetlands hydrological connected to
the streams.

RE: Wetland Delineation Services
Toby Creek Greenway
Mecklenburg County, North Carolina
GeoSyntec Consultants Project No. GK3827
Dear Mr. Alexander:
1255 Roberts Boulevard, Suite 200
Kennesaw, Georgia 30144-3694 . USA
Tel. [phone] • Far [phone]
8 June 2006
Sent Via Electronic Mail
GeoSyntec Consultant, Inc. (GeoSyntec) is pleased to submit this letter report to
Lose and Associates, Inc. regarding environmental services provided for the proposed
Toby Creek Greenway project located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. Our
letter report was prepared following desktop reviews and field studies conducted by
GeoSyntec on 19 May 2006.
PROJECT BACKGROUND
The proposed Toby Creek Greenway is located northeast of the City of Charlotte,
Mecklenburg County, North Carolina within the Catawba River Watershed. The
project area is depicted on the Harrisburg U.S. Geologic Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute
topographic quadrangle map (Figure 1). The project area is approximately 8,500 feet
(1 % miles) long and begins at State Route 49 University City Boulevard and terminates
at the Toby Creek /Mallard Creek confluence.
GeoSyntec was retained by Lose and Associates, Inc. to conduct a site visit to
delineate the extent of on-site jurisdictional wetlands and waters of the U.S. as defined
by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE). Guidelines promulgated in the
USAGE 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual for conducting routine
wetland delineations were followed. Jurisdictional wetland boundaries identified within
the project area were flagged and mtmbered with standard surveyor flagging labeled
"Wetland Boundary". Jurisdictional waters of the U.S. identified within the project area
were flagged and numbered with blue and white striped surveyor flagging.

WETLAND/WATERS OF THE U.S. SURVEYS
Prior to conducting the field surveys, relevant desktop resources were reviewed that
included USGS topographic quadrangle maps, available aerial photography (Figure 2),
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetland Inventory (NWI) maps
(Figure 3), and Natural Resource Conservation Service (MRCS) soil survey maps
(Figure 4). After completing the desktop review, a GeoSyntec biologist conducted the
site visit on 19 May 2006 to ascertain the presence of any USACE jurisdictional
wetlands and waters of the U.S. occurring within the project area. An approximate 50-
foot wide corridor was surveyed for the presence of wetlands and waters of the U.S.
The proposed Toby Creek Greenway traverses an alluvial forested floodplain
located immediately to the east of Toby Creek and lies within the easement of an
existing sanitary sewer line. The adjacent land use is primarily the University of North
Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC) campus and associated facilities. Dominant canopy
vegetation within the Toby Creek Greenway consists of box elder (Ater negtirndo),
sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), red maple (Ater rubrc~m), American elm (Ulmzrs
americans), loblolly pine (Pinars taeda), and sycamore (Platanus occidentalis). The
mid-story vegetation consists of eastern red cedar (Jttniperus virginiana), pawpaw
(Asimina triloba), and saplings of box elder, sycamore, and sweetgum. The understory
vegetation consists of poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), bedstraw (Galium sp.),
Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia), pokeweed (Phytolacca sp.), and
Japanese stilt grass (Microstegicrm vimineum).
Four USACE jurisdictional wetlands (Wetlands A-D) and five waters of the U.S.
(W/US-A - W/US-E) were observed within the surveyed Toby Creek Greenway.
Approximate wetland and stream locations are depicted in the site Wetland Delineation
Sketch (Figure 5). These wetlands are characterized as Palustrine Forested (PFO) and
Emergent (PEM) wetlands and occur within the Toby Creek floodplain.
Wetland A consists of a palustrine, broad-leaved deciduous wetland with a
temporarily flooded hydrologic regime (PFO 1 A). Dominant vegetation within Wetland
A consists of silky dogwood (Corpus amomum), red maple, green ash (Fraxinus
pennsylvanica), American hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana), sweetgum, sycamore, and
various sedges. Hydric soils consisted of a silty loam with a matrix color of 2.SY4/1.
Hydrology indicators consisted of saturated soils in upper 12 inches, water stained
leaves, and drift lines on the vegetation. Wetland A was marked with 25 flags, A1-
A25.

Wetland B consists of a palustrine, emergent wetland with a saturated hydrologic
regime (PEM 1 B). Dominant vegetation within Wetland B consists of cattails (Typha
latifolia), soft rush (Juncos e~:sus), Canada rush (Juncos canadensis), various sedges
(Carex spp.), and black willow (Salix nigra) saplings. Hydric soils consisted of a silty
loam with a matrix color of lOYR 4/1. Hydrology indicators consisted of inundation up
to a one-inch depth. Wetland B was marked with 11 flags, labeled B 1 - B 11. This
wetland was located down-gradient of a storm water retention pond and hydrology is
supplied by W/US-D.
Wetland C consists of a palustrine, broad-leaved deciduous wetland with a
temporarily flooded hydrologic regime (PFO 1 A). Dominant canopy vegetation within
Wetland C consists of green ash, red maple, sweetgum, box elder, and elm. The
understory consists of soft rush, cattails, lady's thumb (Polygonum persicaria),
American water horehound (Lycopars americanus), spike rush (Fimbrystalis sp.), false
nettle (Boehmeria cylindrical), silky dogwood, and jewelweed (Impatiens capensis).
Hydric soils consisted of a silty loam with a matrix color of 2.SY 4/1. Hydrology
indicators consisted of saturated soils in upper 12 inches and water stained leaves.
Wetland C was marked with 25 flags, labeled C 1 - C25.
Wetland D consists of a palustrine, broad-leaved deciduous wetland with a
temporarily flooded hydrologic regime (PFOIA). Dominant canopy vegetation within
Wetland D consists of green ash, red maple, and sweetgum. The understory vegetation
consists of elm, green ash, red maple, and sweetgum saplings. Hydric soils consisted of
a silty loam with a matrix color of 2.SY 4/1. Hydrology indicators consisted of
saturated soils in upper 12 inches and water marks observed on vegetation. Wetland D
was marked with 7 flags, labeled D1 - D7.
W/US-A is a heavily degraded perennial tributary to Toby Creek approximately 10
feet in width with a silt and mud substrate, low to no sinuosity, and 6 to 8-foot incised
banks. This stream was marked with 8 blue and white striped flags labeled "W-A1 -
A8".
W/US-B is perennial tributary to Toby Creek approximately 5 feet in width with a
sand, gravel, and silt substrate, low sinuosity, and incised 2.5-foot high vegetated
stream banks. This stream has a triple culvert near the project corridor. This stream
was marked with 8 blue and white striped flags labeled "W-BI - B8".
W/US-C is an intermittent stream and a tributary to W/US-B. This stream is
approximately 1.5 feet in width with cobble, sand, and silt substrate. The stream flows
GK3827 draft report

GEOSYNTEC CONSULTANTS

through a single culvert within the project corridor. This stream was marked with 5
blue and white striped flags labeled "W-Cl - CS".
W/US-D is a perennial stream located upstream and downstream of Wetland B and
is a tributary to Toby Creek. This stream is approximately 1.5 feet in width with a silt,
sand, and gravel substrate, and low, stable stream banks. No riparian buffer occurs
along this stream, as it flows through a storm water retention pond. This stream was
marked with 5 blue and white striped flags labeled "W-D1 - DS".
W/US-E is heavily degraded intermittent tributary to Toby Creek approximately
10-feet in width with a silt and mud substrate, and low sinuosity. This stream has
become severely incised and has nearly vertical unstable stream banks approximately 8
to 10-feet high. This stream was marked with 8 blue and white striped flags labeled "W-
E 1 - E8".
CONCLUSIONS
Four USACE jurisdictional wetlands and five waters of the U.S. were identified
within the Toby Creek Greenway project corridor. These wetlands occur within the
floodplain of Toby Creek and are classified as either palustrine forested or emergent
wetlands. Wetland boundaries were flagged with standard orange surveyor flagging
and numbered sequentially to assist in surveying the site; however, these boundaries
have not been verified by the USACE. In the event that a USACE Jurisdictional
Determination (JD) of wetlands/waters of the U.S. boundaries is desired for the project,
GeoSyntec will prepare a formal JD request and submit to the USACE Wilmington
District.
Impacts to USACE jurisdictional wetlands/waters of the U.S. by the construction of
the Toby Creek greenways would potentially require Section 404 permitting, dependant
upon the size and nature of any impacts. Under current Section 404 permitting, minor
impacts may qualify for the Nationwide Permit (NWP) Program under NWP 18 Minor
Discharges if the following criteria are met:
• the quantity of discharged material does not exceed 25 cubic yards below the
plane of the ordinary high water mark;
• the discharge does not cause the loss of more than 1/lOt~' acre of wetlands;
• the discharge is part of a single and complete project and is not placed for the
purpose of a stream diversion; and,

• if the discharge exceeds 10 cubic yards below the plane of the ordinary high
water mark, the permittee notifies the District Engineer via the Pre-Construction
Notification (PCN) process.
Furthermore, NWP general conditions would also have to be met. Impacts not
meeting the aforementioned criteria would likely necessitate an Individual Permit,
which involves substantially more documentation than a NWP including but not limited
to an alternatives analysis, public notice, and compensatory mitigation plan
development.
Section 401 of the Clean Water Act delegates authority to the states to issue a 404
Water Quality Certification for all projects that require a Federal Permit. If the USACE
determines that a 404 permit is required a 401 Water Quality Certification is necessary
from the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ). Mitigation may be
required by the DWQ for projects involving one or more acres of impacts to freshwater
wetlands and impacts greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of perennial streams. The
DWQ will also determine if a stream buffer variance is necessary.
• GeoSyntec appreciates the opportunity to assist Lose and Associates, Inc. with this
important environmental project. Please call me at 678.202.999 if you have any
questions or would like to discuss the report in greater detail.
