Subject: PJD Request and ePCN for Lake Michael Dam repair, Orange County NC
Dear Ms. Tillery,
DVM
MOGENSEN MITIGATION, INC
On behalf of the City of Mebane, MMI Environmental Consulting is submitting this Preliminary Jurisdictional
Determination (PJD) Request package and e-PCN (NWP-3) for the proposed dam repair work at Lake
Michael, located 1.4 miles northeast of downtown Mebane in western Orange County (Latitude 36.1081
and Longitude-79.2507) . The project site address is 7300 Lebanon Rd, Mebane NC. MMI is the City's
agent providing wetland delineation and environmental permitting, and Schnabel Engineering is the firm
designing the repair work. The City of Mebane Engineering Department is the applicant.
Lake Michael Dam was constructed in 1952 as a water supply impoundment on Mill Creek in western
Orange County NC, in USGS HUC #03030002-0407 (Haw River watershed). The earthen embankment dam
has a hydraulic height of 29 feet and a concrete ogee -crested spillway on the left (west) abutment. The 75-
acre lake is no longer used as a raw water intake site, but it is upstream of the newer and larger Quaker
Creek Reservoir (Graham -Mebane Lake) located four miles to the west which now serves as the raw water
supply for Mebane and other nearby communities. Lake Michael and Mill Creek below the lake are
designated Class WS-II-HQW-NSW by the NC Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ).
The land areas adjacent to Lake Michael Dam include a City park, forest land, and single-family and multi-
family residential development. Lake Michael Way is a paved street providing access to the dam and the
park from Lebanon Rd. A greenway trail system just downstream of the spillway is also being planned.
The proposed repair work includes demolition of the existing concrete spillway and construction of a new
cast -in -place concrete chute spillway with the same normal pool elevation (631.0 ft) and on approximately
the same footprint as the existing spillway, sized to meet current NCDEQ Dam Safety requirements. The
proposed spillway crest is 70 feet wide (same as existing) and the chute will narrow to 28 feet wide at the
outlet, with a flip bucket and riprap apron to dissipate energy. A new toe drain system and filter diaphragm
will be installed along the downstream face of the embankment, a new drain gate, valve, and trash rack will
be installed on the riser, and an HDPE liner installed inside the riser drain pipe.
The left (west) side of the spillway will be accessed from the existing paved road (Lake Michael Way). The
right (east) side will be accessed from a dirt road located across from the intersection of Lebanon Road and
Saddle Club Road. Both roads are needed for site access during construction. The majority of the grading
operations will occur at the existing concrete spillway and dam embankment.

The proposed limits of disturbance (LOD) and PJD review area encompasses approximately six acres
including the dam footprint, abutments, floodplain below the dam, and a portion of the lake pool abutting
the dam. Potential jurisdictional waters in the PJD review area include the lake pool (open waters), Mill
Creek below the spillway (perennial stream), an unnamed tributary below the outlet from the intake riser,
and three floodplain wetlands:

The USDA Soil Survey of Orange County (1977) indicates Georgeville silt loam adjacent to both sides of the
lake and on the Mill Creek floodplain below the dam. Georgeville is a non-hydric (upland) soil series, and
the wetlands represent unmapped hydric inclusions within it. Wetland hydrology may have been created
or enhanced by seepage from the old toe drain and/or the abandoned pump station below the dam.
Construction Sequence & Erosion Control Narrative
1.0 CONTROL OF WATER / STREAM DIVERSION
1.1.1 General: A bypass of base flow and storm flows around the intake tower and the concrete spillway
work areas will be required during construction. The control of water approach presented below includes
two phases, which are summarized in the following subsections.
1.1.2 Level of Protection: The level of protection shown on the Design Drawings is based on the 2-year,
6-hour storm event for Phase 1 (construction of intake tower improvements, low-level outlet slipline, and
embankment toe drain) and the 25-year, 6-hour storm event for Phase 2 (construction of the replacement
spillway). The approach presented below and shown on the Drawings was developed based on
conversations with the City with considerations for disruption to the fish population, risk to the work if the
stream diversion measures were to fail, construction cost, and schedule impacts. Based on our
conversations with the City, the minimum required level of protection provides acceptable risk to the City.
The Contractor will be required to develop a control of water plan describing their means and methods to
complete the work as specified and submit it to the City and Engineer for review and approval.

In general, the reservoir level maintained during construction will influence the size of the temporary
cofferdams. Maintaining the reservoir at a lower level during construction will allow for the storage of
smaller storms and will also reduce the needed excavation dewatering measures.
As discussed above in Section 6.0, the maximum allowable temporary construction pool level during both
phases is EL 623.1. This elevation was selected based on the location of the mid -level gate at this elevation.
The minimum allowable temporary construction pool level for both phases is EL 620.9. This elevation was
selected to provide volume to store inflows in the lake up to the 2-year, 6-hour storm event without spilling
through the mid -level gate at EL 623.1 and flooding the intake tower.
1.1.3 Phase 1: During Phase 1, the reservoir will be lowered to the allowable elevation range using
pumps or a siphon to convey water through the existing concrete spillway. The pump/siphon will be
located immediately upstream of the concrete spillway and water will be pumped into the spillway chute.
The intake tower will be dewatered through the existing 18-inch low-level outlet. This approach will
facilitate the construction of the HDPE slipline in the low-level conduit, the new gate valve inside the intake
tower, and the embankment toe drain. The Contractor will not be permitted to pass base or storm flows
through the low-level outlet until the HDPE slipline is installed to mitigate potential damage to the existing
pipe. Base flow and storm flows will be passed through the site via the pump -around system.
A cofferdam constructed to minimum EL 603 is recommended to protect the low-level outlet work area
from potential backwater effects from the Mill Creek. The cofferdam can consist of earthfill or supersacks,
which are woven polypropylene bulk bags filled with soil materials.
1.1.4 Phase 2: During Phase 2, the base flow and storm flows will be passed through the site via the
intake tower and the sliplined low-level outlet. The reservoir will be maintained within the allowable water
level range using the intake tower mid -level gate located at this elevation. A temporary cofferdam will be
constructed in the approach channel upstream of the concrete spillway to facilitate the construction of the
replacement concrete spillway. This cofferdam can consist of earthfill sourced from the spillway excavation
or of supersacks with a minimum crest EL 630.0 to protect the work area from flows up to the 25-year, 6-
hour storm event. A cofferdam installed downstream of the spillway outlet will also be needed. This
cofferdam can also consist of earthfill or supersacks and should be built to minimum EL 603.

3.0 EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL
NMwww.Mogmit.com Page 14
MOGENSEN MITIGATION, INC
MOGENSEN MITIGATION INC.
3.1 The stripping of topsoil and excavations for the replacement spillway and embankment toe drain will
result in destabilized soils during construction. Approximately 7.1 acres will be disturbed based on the
limits of disturbance shown on the Design Drawings, and an erosion and sediment control permit will be
needed. Proper design and implementation of effective erosion and sediment control devices will be
critical to limiting the movement of soil materials into local bodies of water and neighboring properties.
3.2 To control material transported by rainfall and runoff, temporary silt fences and sediment filter bags
for pump discharges will be installed. Diversion dikes stabilized with rolled erosion products will be used to
mitigate clean water from entering the site
3.3 Surface stabilization will also reduce the amount of erosion during construction. Gravel will be installed
at the entrance of the project site and for temporary roads (if used). Furthermore, vegetation and mulch
will be placed to stabilize slopes and soil stockpiles. The downstream cofferdams for control of water will
serve to mitigate transportation of sediment into stream courses.
Please let me know if you need any further information or a site visit during your review of our application.

Jurisdictional Determination Request
F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERNIINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One)
7 I am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminM 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.
❑ I am requesting that the Corps provide an approved 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.

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:
SUPPORTING DATA. Data reviewed for PJD (check all that apply)
Checked items should be included in subject file. Appropriately reference sources

Project Code: 2022-0077004
Project Name: Lake Michael Dam Repair, Mebane NC
June 30, 2023
Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The enclosed species list identifies threatened, endangered, proposed and candidate species, as
well as proposed and final designated critical habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your
proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project. The species list fulfills the
requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the
Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). If your project area
contains suitable habitat for any of the federally -listed species on this species list, the proposed
action has the potential to adversely affect those species. If suitable habitat is present, surveys
should be conducted to determine the species' presence or absence within the project area. The
use of this species list and/or North Carolina Natural Heritage program data should not be
substituted for actual field surveys.
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to
contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to
federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical
habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the
Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be
completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be
completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and
implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested
through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list.
The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the
ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the
Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to
utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered
06/30/2023
species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or
designated critical habitat.
A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having
similar physical impacts) that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)
(c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a biological
evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may
affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended
contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12.
If a Federal agency determines, based on the Biological Assessment or biological evaluation, that
listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected by the proposed project, the
agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service
recommends that candidate species, proposed species and proposed critical habitat be addressed
within the consultation. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7
consultation, including the role of permit or license applicants, can be found in the "Endangered
Species Consultation Handbook" at:
http://www.fws.gov/endangered/esa-library/pdf/TOC-GLOS.PDF
Migratory Birds: In addition to responsibilities to protect threatened and endangered species
under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), there are additional responsibilities under the
Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA) to
protect native birds from project -related impacts. Any activity, intentional or unintentional,
resulting in take of migratory birds, including eagles, is prohibited unless otherwise permitted by
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)). For more
information regarding these Acts see https://www.fws.gov/birds/policies-and-regulations.php.
The MBTA has no provision for allowing take of migratory birds that may be unintentionally
killed or injured by otherwise lawful activities. It is the responsibility of the project proponent to
comply with these Acts by identifying potential impacts to migratory birds and eagles within
applicable NEPA documents (when there is a federal nexus) or a Bird/Eagle Conservation Plan
(when there is no federal nexus). Proponents should implement conservation measures to avoid
or minimize the production of project -related stressors or minimize the exposure of birds and
their resources to the project -related stressors. For more information on avian stressors and
recommended conservation measures see https://www.fws.gov/birds/bird-enthusiasts/threats-to-
birds.php.
In addition to MBTA and BGEPA, Executive Order 13186: Responsibilities of Federal Agencies
to Protect Migratory Birds, obligates all Federal agencies that engage in or authorize activities
that might affect migratory birds, to minimize those effects and encourage conservation measures
that will improve bird populations. Executive Order 13186 provides for the protection of both
migratory birds and migratory bird habitat. For information regarding the implementation of
Executive Order 13186, please visit https://www.fws.gov/birds/policies-and-regulations/
executive-orders/e0-13186. php.

We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages
Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project
planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Code in the header of
this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project that you submit
to our office.

ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT SPECIES
There is a total of 2 threatened, endangered, or candidate species on this species list.
Species on this list should be considered in an effects analysis for your project and could include
species that exist in another geographic area. For example, certain fish may appear on the species
list because a project could affect downstream species.
IPaC does not display listed species or critical habitats under the sole jurisdiction of NOAA
Fisheriesi, as USFWS does not have the authority to speak on behalf of NOAA and the
Department of Commerce.
See the "Critical habitats" section below for those critical habitats that lie wholly or partially
within your project area under this office's jurisdiction. Please contact the designated FWS office
if you have questions.

Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use
throughout the year, including migration. Models relying on survey data may not include this
information. For additional information on marine bird tracking data, see the Diving Bird Study
and the nanotag studies or contact Caleb Spiegel or Pam Lorin.
What if I have eagles on my list?
If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid
violating the Eagle Act should such impacts occur.
Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report
The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of
birds of priority concern. To learn more about how your list is generated, and see options for
identifying what other birds may be in your project area, please see the FAQ "What does IPaC
use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location". Please be
aware this report provides the "probability of presence" of birds within the 10 km grid cell(s) that
overlap your project; not your exact project footprint. On the graphs provided, please also look
carefully at the survey effort (indicated by the black vertical bar) and for the existence of the "no
data" indicator (a red horizontal bar). A high survey effort is the key component. If the survey
effort is high, then the probability of presence score can be viewed as more dependable. In
contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar means a lack of data and, therefore, a lack of
certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply a starting point for
identifying what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area, when they might
be there, and if they might be breeding (which means nests might be present). The list helps you
know what to look for to confirm presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement
conservation measures to avoid or minimize potential impacts from your project activities,
should presence be confirmed. To learn more about conservation measures, visit the FAQ "Tell
me about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory
birds" at the bottom of your migratory bird trust resources page.
