Subject: Pre-Construction Notification for NWP #14 for Shutterfly Road Extension, in
Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, NC.
Dear Ms. Higgins and Messrs. Elliott, Johnson, and Hamstead,
Enclosed is a Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) for the installation of a culvert to construct the
collector road extension of Shutterfly Road, in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County. Proposed impacts
are to 292 linear feet of degraded stream channel in order to construct a culvert and installation of
associated rip rap to facilitate truck traffic. The collector road will connect Shopton Road and
Sandy Porter Road and will enhance a bypass of the currently congested intersection of Sandy
Porter and Shopton Road. Congestion is expected to be further enhanced in the area due to its
relationship to I-485 and future development of significant industrial/distribution facilities
currently under construction in the vicinity along with the future proposed interchange of I-485
and Sandy Porter Road. The intersection of Shutterfly Road with Sandy Porter Road is required to
be a minimum of 750 feet south of the existing Sandy Porter Road and Shopton Road Intersection.
The collector road and intersection are identified on Existing and Proposed Major Collectors Plan
provided by the civil engineer who has been coordinating with City of Charlotte staff. This road

also aligns with a future industrial park across Sandy Porter Road. The extension project is adjacent
to Shopton Road Business Park. This site is comprised of existing building, roads, and parking;
buildings under construction; and future proposed large-scale commercial warehouses and
trucking facilities. Shopton Road Business Park was permitted in 2000 with Nationwide Permit
26 and l4 and accompanying 40l water Quality Certification. The existing and functioning
regional stormwater management facility was designed and sized to treat all stormwater runoff
from the site, including the proposed road. The delay in construction is associated with the
economic turn down in 2001 followed by the recent recession in 2007/2008 as well as other
planning and design factors.
Avoidance/Minimization/Miti�ation:
The applicant has attempted to avoid and minimize impacts to stream channels to the maximum
extent practicable while considering the site and design constraints associated with truck
transportation gradient and vertical curve criteria. With regards to complete avoidance, the
construction of a bottomless arch/span in this location would cost approximately $ 600,000 to
potentially over $1,000,000 due to the length, height of the fill, footings and retaining walls; and
potentially poor soil conditions. This was determined to be impracticable based on information
provided by the engineer on behalf of the developer. The proposed plan limits the impact to 292
linear feet. This includes 2:] stabilized slopes and guardrails. Also, the road width is being
proposed at the minimum width necessary to accommodate the type of traffic expected on this
section of road which would be large tractor-trailer vehicles. The road alignment/crossing could
not be moved as the connection to Sandy Porter Road is dictated by the required minimum distance
from the Shopton Road intersection (minimum of 750 feet). This distance requirement eliminated
the opportunity to move the road alignment to the north which could have avoided or minimized
impacts to the stream channel.
The proposed stream segment to be impacted is in the upper reach of an unnamed tributary of
Coffey Creek. The stream segment has been cut off by a functioning regional stormwater
management pond that was allowable and approved by the USACE and NCDENR in 2000. It
appears that downstream of the stormwater facility the stream reach continues uninterrupted to
Coffey Creek. Based upon stream identification/assessment forms provided, the stream channel
in the impact location scores was on the threshold between intermittent and perennial. WEPG
biologist, Patrick Kealy, conducted the recently implemented North Carolina Stream Assessment
Methodology (NCSAM) as an additional assessment to determine the quality of the stream channel
for the purposes of determining appropriate mitigation requirements. NCSAM data forms are also
enclosed which provides documentation of the quality of the channel when evaluated as either an
intermittent or perennial stream channel. Both assessments that were conducted for each type of
stream channel show medium to low ratings in all sub-functional classes. Based on the information
provided and observed in the field, we believe the stream channel would be considered degraded
and subject to reduced mitigation ratios.
With regards to mitigation, the applicant is proposing to mitigate for unavoidable impacts to 292
linear feet of stream channel through payment into the North Carolina Division of Mitigation
Services (DMS) at a 1:1 ratio. The stream channel impact is located in the Lower Catawba River

Basin (03050103) and an acceptance letter from DMS is enclosed. Ultimately a reduced mitigation
ratio was proposed due to our findings documented by NCSAM.
Also since the previously approved permits/certifications were issued, the Northern Long Eared
Bat (NLEB) has been listed as federally threatened for Mecklenburg County: Since the portions of
the site and the road crossing is wooded, habitat does exist for the recently listed for NLEB within
the impact area. However, due to its location which is at least 45 miles away from a known
occurrence and the fact that there will be minimal tree clearing (less than l-acre in the impact
location), we believe this project is not likely to adversely affect the Northern Long Eared Bat and
ultimately not subject to tree clearing moratoriums. No other habitat was observed to be present
for other listed species in Mecklenburg County, therefore we believe that the project will have no
effect on any other listed species or their critical habitat under Section 7 of the Endangered Species
Act.

The agencies will assert jurisdiction over Tl�`��'s and wetlands adjacent to TNV1's. If the aquatic resource is a TNW, complete
Section 1ll.A.1 and Section III.D.I. only; if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNV1', complete Sections III.A.1 and 2
and Section III.D.I.; otherw�ise, see Section ITI.B below.

2. «'etland adjacent to TNW
Summarize rationale supporting conclusion that wetland is "adjacent":
B. CHARACTERISTICS OF TRIBUTARY (THAT IS NOT A TNW) AND ITS ADJACENT V1'ETLANDS (IF ANl'):
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 TNV1's 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 resouree 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 H�aterbody° is not an RPVV, or a wetland directly abutting an RPV1', a JD will require additional data to determine if the
waterbody has a significant nexus with a TNV1'. 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 ��ith adjacent wetlands, complete Section III.B.I for
the tributary, Section III.B.2 for any onsite w�eUands, 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.

C. SIGNIFICANT NEXUS DETERMINATION
A significant nexus analysis will assess the tlow 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 TNV1'. 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 behveen 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 thc TN�i', 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 ar 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 TN W?
• Does the tributary, in combination �vith its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to transfer nutrients and organic carbon that
support downstream foodwebs?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any); have other relationships to the physical, chemical, or
biological integrity ofthe TNW?
Note: the abo��e list of considerations is not inclusi��e and other functions observed or known to occur should be documented
below:
1. Significant nexus findings for non-RPVV that has no adjacent wetlands and flows directly or indirectly into TN�1's. Explain
findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary itself, then go to Section III.D: .

3. Significant nexus Tindings for wetlands adjacent to an RPV1' but that do not directly abut the RPW. Gxplain findings of
