Application for Section 404 Individual Permit S&ME Project No. 1357-06-733A
250 -Million Gallon Reservoir Expansion Project January 8. 2008
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Franklin Water Treatment Plant, established in 1959, is located on property owned
by Charlotte -Mecklenburg Utilities (CMU) at 5200 Brookshire Boulevard, Charlotte,
North Carolina. CMU provides water and sanitary sewer service for approximately
750,000 customers throughout the City of Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, and the
Towns of Huntersville, Mint Hill, Matthews, Pineville, Davidson, and Cornelius.
' The subject property is approximately 216 acres and is primarily developed with six
water tanks, three raw water reservoirs (Reservoirs 1, 2, and 3), a laboratory, offices,
warehouses, water treatment lagoons, and asphalt and gravel access roads. Scattered
areas of woodland and open fields are located throughout the subject property. A chain -
linked and barb -wire fence with a mechanical security gate surrounds the subject
'
property.
CMU proposes to construct a 250 -million gallon reservoir in the footprint of existing
Reservoirs 1 and 2. This improved reservoir, in addition to existing Reservoir 3, will
accommodate the growth increase in Mecklenburg County by providing 500 million
gallons of on-site raw water supply. Since 1989, available raw water at the Franklin
Water Treatment Plant has been 355 million gallons. Reservoirs 1 and 2 and their dams
'
have been deteriorating and exhibiting seeping and eroding conditions, such that the
dams do not meet current dam safety regulations. The Division of Land Resources —
North Carolina Land Quality Section (NC LQS) of the N.C. Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (NCDENR) inspected Reservoir 1 and its dam in November 1998.
The NC LQS stated that the reservoir and dam exhibited severe structural flaws and rapid
internal erosion that may cause an uncontrolled breach. In addition, excessive seepage
'
from the reservoir dams is particularly adverse during current drought conditions and
associated community water restrictions.
The CMU's long term to:
proposed project will satisfy goals
• Reduce seepage and embankment erosion of Reservoirs 1 and 2
• Increase additional on-site raw water storage to:
o accommodate growth in the service area
o provide operational flexibility and reliability during extended periods of
drought, power outages, hazardous spills on Mountain Island Lake, and
other disturbances
• Increase water quality
0 Comply with dam safety regulations
'
A jurisdictional delineation of the northern portion of the subject property was conducted
by S&ME in August 2006 (S&ME Project No. 1357-06-733). Results of the delineation
included two wetlands (Wetlands A and B) and one stream (Stream 1). Ms. Amanda
Jones with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) visited the site on August 18,
2006 and verified the jurisdictional status of Wetlands A and B (Action ID 2006 -40614 -

360).
In August 2007, S&ME visited the site and delineated Wetland C, located southeast of
Reservoir 3 (S&ME Project No. 1357-06-733A). Mr. Alan Johnson with Division of
Water Quality (NCDWQ) visited the site on September 5, 2007 and classified Stream 1
as perennial. Mr. Johnson suggested reevaluation of the jurisdictional status of Stream 1
once dewatering of Reservoirs 1 and 2 was complete. On October 12, 2007, CMU
dewatered Reservoirs 1 and 2 into Reservoir 3. On October 12, 2007, fish were removed
from Reservoirs 1 and 2 and located off-site. On November 21, 2007, S&ME
reevaluated the conditions of Stream 1. Dewatering of Reservoirs 1 and 2 altered the
hydrology and biology of Stream 1. As a result, 88 linear feet (If) of Stream 1 was re-
classified as intermittent, unimportant (non-mitigatable) and 1391f was classified as
perennial. On November 29, 2007 information regarding the re -assessment was
forwarded to Mr. Johnson with NCDWQ for re -assessment. During a telephone
conversation on December 3, 2007, Mr. Johnson concurred with S&ME's stream re-
classification.
' Construction of the 250 -million gallon reservoir expansion project will result in
unavoidable impacts to 88 linear feet (If) of intermittent stream, 1391f of perennial
stream, and approximately 1.27 acre of riparian wetlands. To offset unavoidable stream
impacts associated with the proposed project, CMU proposes payment to an umbrella
bank provided by the City of Charlotte Umbrella Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank at
a ratio of 1:1 for 139 if of impacts to Stream 1. To offset the unavoidable impacts to
' approximately 1.27 acre of riparian wetlands, CMU proposes payment to the Ecosystem
Enhancement Program (EEP) at a ratio of 1:1.

Major earthwork associated with the project will include excavation of 800,000 cubic yards
(cy) of soil material from Wetlands A and B, Stream 1, and Reservoirs 1 and 2. To reduce
moisture content so that it is compactable, this material will be transported to an area within
Wetland C and its vicinity. Once acceptably dried, approximately 235,000 cy of the
material will be used to construct the dam of the new 250 -million gallon reservoir. The
remaining 565,000 cy will be transported off-site and used as fill material elsewhere.
Hazen and Sawyer, P.C. and CMU have considered alternatives to the proposed project,
but the current plan is the most practicable alternative to fulfill the aforementioned goals
of CMU and the needs of the service area.

1.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION
A completed ENG 4345 form, an agent authorization form signed by the applicant, and
supplemental information (including names and addresses of adjoining property owners)
are provided in Appendix I.
The Franklin Water Treatment Plant, established in 1959, is located on property owned
by CMU, 5200 Brookshire Boulevard, Charlotte, North Carolina (Mecklenburg County
Tax Parcel Identification Number 03918107 and 03918110). CMU provides water and
sanitary sewer service for approximately 750,000 customers throughout the City of
Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, and the Towns of Huntersville, Mint Hill, Matthews,
Pineville, Davidson, and Cornelius. Since 1959, the Franklin Water Treatment Plant has
been upgraded five times to accommodate population growth and implement improved
technology to provide drinking water to its service area. Upgrades to the current system
are needed to accommodate recent growth in the service area and address deteriorating
conditions to raw water reservoirs (Reservoirs 1 and 2). CMU proposes to combine and
expand Reservoirs 1 and 2, increasing available on-site raw water from 355 -million
gallons to 500 -million gallons.
The approximate location of the subject property is depicted by the attached figures
located in Appendix II: Site Vicinity Map (Figure 1), a portion of the 1997 Mountain
Island Lake, N.C. U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) topographic map (Figure 2), a 2005
Aerial Photograph (Figure 3), and a USDA Soil Survey Map (Figure 4).
A jurisdictional delineation of the northern portion of the subject property was conducted
by S&ME in August 2006 (S&ME Project No. 1357-06-733). Results of the delineation
included two wetlands (Wetlands A and B) and one stream (Stream 1). Ms. Amanda
Jones with the USACE visited the site on August 18, 2006 and verified the jurisdictional
status of Wetlands A and B (Action ID 2006-40614-360). Ms. Jones also classified
Stream 1 as intermittent, aquatically important due to indications of persistent leakage
from adjacent raw water vaults, rather than groundwater. However, Ms. Jones suggested
the NCDWQ visit the site during the permitting process to make the final classification.
In August 2007, S&ME visited the site and delineated Wetland C, located southeast of
Reservoir 3 (S&ME Project No. 1357-06-733A). Mr. Alan Johnson with NCDWQ
visited the site on September 5, 2007 and classified Stream 1 as perennial. Mr. Johnson
suggested reevaluation of the jurisdictional status of Stream 1 once dewatering of
Reservoirs 1 and 2 was complete. On October 12, 2007, CMU dewatered Reservoirs 1
and 2 into Reservoir 3. On October 12, 2007, fish were removed from Reservoirs 1 and 2
and re -located off-site. On November 21, 2007, S&ME reevaluated Stream 1.
Dewatering of Reservoirs 1 and 2 altered the hydrology and biology of Stream 1. As a
result, 881f of Stream 1 was re-classified as intermittent, unimportant (non-mitigatable)
and 139 if was classified as perennial. On November 29, 2007, information regarding the
re-classification was forwarded to Mr. Johnson with NCDWQ for re -assessment. On
December 3, 2007, Mr. Johnson concurred with S&ME's stream reclassification.

2.0 EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS
The subject property is approximately 216 acres and is primarily developed with six
water tanks, three raw water reservoirs (Reservoirs 1, 2, and 3), a laboratory, offices,
warehouses, water treatment lagoons, and asphalt and gravel access roads. Scattered
areas of woodland and open fields are located throughout the subject property. A riprap
lined channel is located between Reservoirs 1 and 3 and extends south to Stream 1. Raw
water vaults are located northeast of Reservoir 2 adjacent to Wetland B. Two culverted
earthen berms cross Stream 1. A chain -linked and barb -wire fence with a mechanical
security gate surrounds the subject property.
Reservoirs 1, 2, and 3 store a combined 355 million gallons of raw water (Table 1). The
raw water is transferred from Mountain Island Lake through the Catawba River Pump
Station, west of the subject property, and then gravity fed to the Franklin Water
Treatment Plant before undergoing a treatment process at the facility.

The 250 -million gallon reservoir expansion will be sited in the northeastern portion of the
subject property, within the footprint and vicinity of Reservoirs 1 and 2. Photos of
existing conditions at the subject property are included in Appendix III.
2.1 Soils and Area Geology
According to the USDA Soil Survey of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina (1980)
(Figure 4), soils within the subject property are mapped as:
Cecil sandy clay loam, two to eight percent slopes, eroded (CeB2) - The Cecil soil series
consists of well -drained, very deep soils with moderate permeability and medium to rapid
runoff.
Cecil -Urban land complex, two to eight percent slopes (CuB) - This soil type consists of
Cecil soils in addition to fill material, located in areas of urban development.

Application for Section 404 Individual Permit S&ME Project No. 1357-06-733A
250 -Million Gallon Reservoir Expansion Project January8, 2008
Enon sandy loam, two to eight percent slopes (EnB) — This soil series consists of well -
drained, slowly permeable soils located on ridges in uplands.
Enon sandy loam, eight to 15 percent slopes (EnD) - This soil series consists of well -
drained, slowly permeable soils located on side slopes in uplands.
' Monacan loam (MO) - The Monacan soil series consists of moderately well- and
somewhat poorly -drained, deep soils with moderate permeability and slow runoff
1 potential.
Urban land (Ur) — This mapping unit is in areas of 85 percent or greater impervious
' ground cover. Most of this soil type has been altered vastly from its undisturbed state
and has often been cut, filled, and graded.

11
t
t
C�
Of the soils mapped within the subject property, none are classified as hydric, however,
Monacan soils have hydric inclusions.
Topography on the subject property consists of hills bisected by drainage ways.
Topography generally slopes from west to east and has likely modified from its original
contours to construct the Franklin Water Treatment Plant facility.
The property is located in the Piedmont Physiographic Province of North Carolina. The
Piedmont Province generally consists of well-rounded hills and ridges, which are
dissected by a well-developed system of draws and streams. The Piedmont Province is
predominantly underlain by metamorphic rock (formed by heat, pressure and/or chemical
action) and igneous rock (formed directly from molten material). More specifically, the
site is located in the Charlotte Belt of the Piedmont Province. The Charlotte Belt consists
of overlapping geologic features including belts of plutonic rock and metamorphic rock.
The metamorphic rocks commonly found in this belt include gneiss, schist, maffc
metavolcanics, and felsic metavolcanics. Plutonic rocks found generally include granite,
gabbro, and diabase dikes.
The topography and relief of the Charlotte Belt and Piedmont Province have developed
from differential weathering of the igneous and metamorphic rock. Ridges and hills have
been developed on the more easily weathered and erodible rock. Because of the
continued chemical and physical weathering, the rocks in the Charlotte Belt and
Piedmont Province are now generally covered with a mantle of soil that has weathered in
place from the parent bedrock. These soils have variable thicknesses and are referred to
as residuum or residual soils. Residuum is typically finer grained and has higher clay
content near the surface because of advanced weathering. Similarly, the soils typically
become coarser grained with increasing depth because of decreased weathering. As the
degree of weathering decreases, the residual soils generally retain the overall appearance,
texture, gradation, and foliations of the parent rock.

1 2.2 Vegetation
A majority of the subject property is developed and maintained with fescue (Festuca sp.),
'
although scattered wooded areas are also present. Vegetation observed within wooded
areas located adjacent to Reservoirs 1, 2, and 3 included black cherry (Prunus serotina),
muscadine grape (Vitis sp.), mimosa (Albizia julibrissin), poison ivy (Toxicodendron
radicans), blackberry (Rubus sp.), box elder (Acer negundo), trumpet creeper (Campsis
radicans), Johnson grass (Sorghum halepense), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera
japonica), and black willow (Salix nigra).
2.3 On-site Streams
One jurisdictional stream (Stream 1) was delineated and will be affected by the proposed
project. The delineation was limited to the study area that will be impacted by the
proposed project within the northern portion of the subject property and did not include
downstream portions of Stream 1 (Figure 3). On December 3, 2007, Mr. Alan Johnson
with the NCDWQ classified Stream 1 as intermittent for 881f and perennial for 139 If.
Wetland B comprises the headwaters of Stream 1. Stream 1 flows east for approximately
2771f through the southern portion of Wetland A (Figure 5A). Stream 1 drains through a
drainage grate and into a riprap-lined channel that extends to Stewart Creek to the
southeast.
A 10- to 20 -foot riparian buffer that extends along Stream 1 was vegetated with red
maple (Acer rubrum), Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quingefolia), ironwood (Carpinus
caroliniana), Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), tag alder (Alnus serrulata), sweet gum
(Liquidambar styraciflua), and smartweed (Polygonum sp.)

2.4 On-site Wetlands
Wetlands A, B, and C were delineated by S&ME and will be affected by the proposed
project. The delineation was limited to areas impacted by the proposed project within the
northern portion of the subject property. Jurisdictional boundaries of Wetlands A and B
were verified by Ms. Amanda Jones with the USACE during an August 18, 2006 site
visit.
Wetland A is an approximately 0.35 -acre forested wetland located south of and adjacent
to Reservoirs 1 and 3 (Figure 5A). Stream 1 flows through the southern portion of
Wetland A. Wetland A is inundated and flows through a drainage grate adjacent to
Stream 1. Vegetation observed within Wetland A included ironwood, red maple,
elderberry (Sambucus canadensis), tag alder, and poison ivy.
Wetland B is an approximately 0.10 -acre forested wetland that comprises the headwaters
of Stream 1 adjacent to Reservoirs 1 and 2 (Figure 5A). Vegetation observed within
Wetland B included sweet gum, black willow, red maple, tulip tree, tag alder, Japanese
honeysuckle, blackberry, and poison ivy.

3.0 DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED WORK
tHazen
and Sawyer, P.C., on behalf of CMU has designed a 250 -million gallon reservoir
in the footprint and vicinity of Reservoirs 1 and 2 (Figure 6). Wetlands A and B and
Stream I are located within the footprint of the eastern embankment of the proposed
reservoir (Figure 7A). This area will require excavation of approximately 79,000 cy of
soil material to meet necessary depths for the new reservoir. Due to lack of available
area to accommodate a 250 -million gallon reservoir within the Franklin Water Treatment
Plant facility, impacting Wetlands A and B and Stream 1 is deemed necessary.
The proposed expansion project will require excavation of approximately 800,000 cy
(which includes the aforementioned 79,000 cy) of soil material from the project area to
meet the required depth of the reservoir expansion. Approximately 235,000 cy of the
excavated material will be used for construction of the dam and reservoir liner cover.
The remaining 565,000 cy will be transported off-site to be used as fill material
elsewhere. Before the excavated material can be used on-site or transported off-site,
'
reduction of its moisture content will be required. Reducing the moisture content will
allow the material to be compactable for use as fill material and decrease the weight so it
can be transported. The process will involve dispersing the excavated material so that it
can dry for an extended period. Available space to disperse the material at the Franklin
Water Treatment Plant is limited. Due to site constraints, Wetland C will be drained into
downstream portions of Stream 1 and permanently filled with approximately 3,500 cy of
clean fill material to an elevation of 760 feet (Figure 713). This impact is necessary to
provide adequate upland area for the excavated material during the moisture -reduction
process.
Prior to construction, project plans included draining Reservoirs 1 and 2 into Reservoir 3.
In addition, fish that entered the reservoirs through water pipes were relocated. It is not
anticipated that Reservoir 3 will require modifications. The proposed reservoir will
encompass approximately 45.5 acres. The dam height is proposed to be 22 feet with an
upstream slope (entrance of raw water) of 2.5:1 and a downstream slope (exit of raw
water) of 3:1.
3.1 Construction Sequence
Dewatering of Reservoirs 1 and 2 has been initiated and detained fish have been transferred
to an off-site location. The initial phase of construction of the new reservoir will include

Iland
clearing, grubbing, installing erosion and sediment control measures, and maintaining
dewatering activities. The Erosion and Sediment Control Plan will be sequenced to occur
during the initial phase of construction, prior to major earthwork associated with the
reservoir construction. Once the initial phase is complete, major earthwork will include
excavation of 800,000 cy of soil material from Wetlands A and B, Stream 1, and Reservoirs
1 and 2. This material will be transported to an area within Wetland C and its vicinity to
dry. Once dried, approximately 235,000 cy of the material will be used to construct the dam
of the new 250 -million gallon reservoir. The remaining 565,000 cy will be transported off-
site and used as fill material elsewhere.
Throughout construction, field quality assurance tests will be conducted by an
independent testing laboratory on the materials incorporated into the reservoir expansion
project. The new reservoir will be lined with a 30 -mil PVC geomembrane synthetic liner
with an underdrain system that flows into a catch basin. The underdrain system will
protect the embankment from erosion and release groundwater pressure that may
accumulate under the geomembrane liner.
Once construction is complete, recorded drawings will be submitted to NC LQS for final
inspection with the design engineer. Deficiencies will be identified and corrected. The
design engineer will then certify that the dam was constructed in accordance with
approved plans and specifications and that it is safe for initial operation. NC LQS will
issue a certificate of impoundment, the formal state approval to impound water.
Upon successful final inspection, the reservoir will be placed in service.
3.2 Timing
It is anticipated that CMU will advertise for public bids in spring 2008. The project will be
advertised and bid in accordance with North Carolina Public Bidding requirements.
Contractor qualifications and bid prices will be considered when selecting a contractor.
Prior to advertisement, regulatory approvals will be obtained from a number of authorities
including the Dam Safety Approval to Construct from the North Carolina Division of Earth
Resources, NC LQS, and the Erosion and Sediment Control Plan Approval from the NC
LQS.

While raw water is being pumped into the new reservoir, the following measures will be
employed:
1) embankment instrumentation and changes in water levels will be monitored at
regular intervals to determine if drainage systems are functioning as expected,
and
2} CMU, with assistance from the engineer, will visually inspect embankment
slopes for evidence of unanticipated movement, settlement, or indication of
within the embankment.

250 -Million Gallon Reservoir Expansion Project January 8, 2008
Construction of the project is scheduled for fall 2008 with major earthwork scheduled for
spring 2009. It is anticipated that construction will be completed in spring 2010. The
reservoir will be placed in service in the summer of 2010.
4.0 PROPOSED JURISDICTIONAL IMPACTS
Construction of the 250 -million gallon reservoir expansion project will result in
unavoidable impacts to Stream 1 and Wetlands A, B, and C as indicated in Table 2
below, and depicted on Figures 7A and 7B.
Table 2 — Proposed Proiect Impacts
Construction of the 250 -million gallon reservoir expansion project will result in
unavoidable impacts to 881f of intermittent stream, 1391f of perennial stream, and
approximately 1.27 acres of riparian wetlands.
To reach an adequate depth to construct the 250 -million gallon raw water reservoir,
approximately 79,000 cy will be excavated from Wetlands A and B, and Stream 1.
Approximately 720,000 cy of excavated material from existing Reservoirs 1 and 2 will be
placed adjacent to Reservoir 3. Wetland C will be drained and permanently filled to
provide adequate area to reduce moisture content of the excavated material so that it can
be used on-site or transported off-site.
5.0 PROJECT PURPOSE AND NEED
The purpose of the proposed project is to provide compliance with dam safety regulations
and increase the on-site raw water capacity. Since 1989, the availability of raw water at
the facility has been 355 million gallons. Reservoirs 1 and 2 and their dams have been
deteriorating and exhibiting seeping and eroding conditions, such that the dams do not
meet current dam safety regulations. The NC LQS inspected Reservoir 1 and its dam in
November 1998. The NC LQS expressed their concerns in a June 8, 2000 letter
(Appendix V) stating that the reservoir and dam exhibited severe structural flaws and
rapid internal erosion that could cause an uncontrolled breach. In addition, seepage from
the reservoir dam is particularly adverse during current drought conditions and associated
community water restrictions. The NC LQS recommended that the City of Charlotte
address safety hazards associated with the dam's condition.

CMU's long-term plans include replacing Reservoir 1 and Reservoir 2 with a larger
reservoir to increase on-site capacity. The improved, larger reservoir, in addition to
existing Reservoir 3, will accommodate the growth increase in Mecklenburg County by
providing 500 million gallons of on-site raw water supply. The expansion will provide
CMU with operational flexibility and reliability to their service area during extended
periods of power outages and other disturbances. Further, the expansion will increase
'
raw water storage in cases of severe drought conditions as well as low water levels at
Mountain Island Lake. In addition, raw water reservoirs will also improve water quality
by allowing sediment to settle before the raw water undergoes treatment. The North
'
Carolina Public Water Supply Section requires that the Franklin Water Treatment Plant
utilize on-site terminal reservoirs for adequate treatment and enhanced reliability.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS
6.0
Hazen and Sawyer, P.C. and CMU have considered alternatives to the proposed project,
but the current plan is the most practicable alternative to fulfill the goals of CMU and the
needs of the service area. CMU operates two other water treatment plants. Lee S. Dukes,
Jr. Water Treatment Plant provides 25 million gallons per day (mgd) from Lake Norman
and services northern Mecklenburg County. The Vest Water Treatment Plant was
constructed in the 1920's and provides 36 mgd from Mountain Island Lake to remaining
areas within Mecklenburg County. The Franklin Water Treatment Plant provides an
'
adequate area to satisfy CMU long-term plans. Potable water from these treatment plants
are pumped into an interconnected distribution system throughout the remaining portions
of Mecklenburg County. The preferred alternative will meet the following goals:
• Reduce seepage and embankment erosion
• Increase additional on-site raw water storage to:
o accommodate growth in the service area
o provide operational flexibility and reliability during extended periods of
drought and power outages, hazardous spills on Mountain Island Lake,
and other disturbances
• Increase water quality
• Comply with dam safety regulations
Identified below are alternatives to the project as proposed.
6.1 No Build Alternative
Under this alternative, CMU would not construct the 250 -million gallon raw water
reservoir and address the dam safety concerns of the NC LQS. Reservoirs 1 and 2 would
continue seeping raw water, eroding the embankment, increasing the probability of dam
failure, and threatening the safety of the community. In addition, CMU could not
accommodate growth in the service area, causing new residents to use a non -reliable
source of water. For these reasons, this alternative was not chosen.

250 -Million Gallon Reservoir Expansion Project January 8, 2008
' 6.2 Repair Reservoirs 1 and 2
Under this alternative, repairs and alterations to Reservoirs 1 and 2 would be conducted
to meet the aforementioned goals of CMU. This would involve dredging the reservoirs
or removing the earthen dam separating the reservoirs to increase its raw water capacity.
Once drained and dredged, the embankment would be repaired to meet dam safety
1 regulations. This alternative was not chosen because of the uncertainty of the condition
and the extent of damage to the embankment. It may be determined that the embankment
cannot be repaired or repairs would not be cost efficient.
t6.3 Relocate the New Reservoir
Under this alternative, Reservoirs 1 and 2 would be drained and the embankment
removed. The 250 -million gallon reservoir would be constructed at another location on-
site or off-site. This alternative was not chosen because there is a lack of space elsewhere
on-site to construct a reservoir to fulfill the growth needs of the service area. If the new
' reservoir was constructed off-site, raw water would require to be pumped to the treatment
facility. This will require installation of a raw water pipeline to the treatment plant.
t7.0 AVOIDANCE AND MINIMIZATION
During planning stages of the proposed project, CMU has undertaken efforts to avoid and
'
minimize impacts associated with the 250 -million gallon reservoir expansion project to
the extent practical. However, due to the aforementioned project requirements, measures
to avoid impacts to Stream 1 and Wetlands A, B, and C were not available. Impacts to
downstream portions of Stream 1, located within the southeastern portion of the subject
property, were avoided, however, preservation of this area could not be considered due to
unforeseen future expansions at the Franklin Water Treatment Plant.
The proposed work will be conducted in compliance with Mecklenburg County Erosion
and Sediment Control and/or Stormwater Ordinances, and once project construction is
initiated, it will be carried to completion in an expeditious manner to minimize the period
of disturbance to the environment.
' No wastes, spoils, solids, or fills will be placed within wetlands, waters, or riparian areas
beyond the limits of those depicted in this application. During construction, measures
will be utilized to limit the impacts identified above. CMU will implement best
i management practices during construction to minimize erosion and migration of
sediments off-site. These practices will include use of mulches, hay bales, silt fences, or
other appropriate devices capable of preventing erosion and migration of sediments.
These devices will be maintained in a functioning capacity until the area is permanently
stabilized upon project completion.
Necessary measures will be taken to prevent oil, tar, trash, debris, and other pollutants
from entering the adjacent waters. Excess excavated materials not utilized as authorized
fill will be placed and contained on high ground away from waters. Such material will be
Istabilized to prevent erosion.

250 -Million Gallon Reservoir Expansion Proiect January 8. 2008
To offset the unavoidable stream impacts identified above in a ratio sufficient to satisfy
those specified in the USACE's Mitigation Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), CMU
proposes payment to an umbrella bank provide by the City of Charlotte Umbrella Stream
and Wetland Mitigation Bank at a ratio of 1:1 for 1391f of impacts to Stream 1. Through
guidance from the USACE Stream Mitigation Guidelines, Stream 1 is a small perennial
stream, less than three meters in width, with fair water quality. Since the mitigation will
occur within the same Hydrologic Unit as the proposed stream impact, higher stream
mitigation ratios were not considered necessary. Mitigation will be performed in
accordance with the Agreement to Establish the City of Charlotte Umbrella Stream and
Wetland Mitigation Bank in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, dated June 16, 2004.
To offset unavoidable wetland impacts in a ratio sufficient to satisfy those specified in the
USACE's SOP, CMU proposes payment to the EEP at a ratio of 1:1. Wetland credits
were not available through the City of Charlotte Umbrella Stream and Wetland
Mitigation Bank.
On-site stream and wetland mitigation was not available. Potential future expansions
may be necessary at the Franklin Water Treatment Plant requiring further impacts to on-
site streams and wetlands. In addition, the project area is in an urban environment where
traditional on-site stream mitigation is not practicable.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
BLOCK 18. NATURE OF ACTIVITY
The Franklin Water Treatment Plant is located on property owned by Charlotte -
Mecklenburg Utilities (CMU). The facility is comprised of office buildings, laboratories,
and three raw water reservoirs (Reservoirs 1, 2, and 3). The reservoirs store a combined
355 million gallons of raw water transferred from Mountain Island Lake before
undergoing a treatment process at the facility (Table 1). Three wetlands (Wetlands A, B,
and C) and one stream (Stream 1) are located on-site within the study area. Wetlands A
and B and Stream 1 are located at the toe of slope of Reservoirs 1 and 2 (Figure 5A,
Appendix II). Wetland C is a naturalized abandoned detention pond with a culvert
draining into downstream portions of Stream 1 (Figure 513, Appendix II). Wetland C is
located at the toe of slope of Reservoir 3. Wetland B comprises the headwaters of Stream
1. Wetland A is located along downstream portions of Stream 1.

Hazen and Sawyer, P.C., on behalf of CMU has designed a 250 -million gallon reservoir
in the footprint and vicinity of Reservoirs 1 and 2 (Figure 6). Wetlands A and B and
Stream 1 are located within the footprint of the eastern embankment of the proposed
reservoir (Figure 7A). This area will require excavation of approximately 79,000 cy of
soil material to meet necessary depths for the new reservoir. Due to lack of available
area to accommodate a 250 -million gallon reservoir within the Franklin Water Treatment
Plant facility, impacting Wetlands A and B and Stream 1 is deemed necessary.
The proposed expansion project will require excavation of approximately 800,000 cy
(which includes the aforementioned 79,000 cy) of soil material from the project area to
meet the required depth of the reservoir expansion. Approximately 235,000 cy of the
excavated material will be used for construction of the dam and reservoir liner cover.
The remaining 565,000 cy will be transported off-site to be used as fill material
elsewhere. Before the excavated material can be used on-site or transported off-site,
reduction of its moisture content will be required. Reducing the moisture content will
allow the material to be compactable for use as fill material and decrease the weight so it
can be transported. The process will involve dispersing the excavated material so that it
can dry for an extended period. Available space to disperse the material at the Franklin
Water Treatment Plant is limited. Due to site constraints, Wetland C will be drained into
downstream portions of Stream 1 and permanently filled with approximately 3,500 cy of

t
The purpose of the proposed project is to provide compliance with dam safety regulations
and increase the on-site raw water capacity. The Division of Land Resources — Land
Quality Section (NC LQS) of the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural
Resources inspected Reservoir 1 and its dam in November 1998. The NC LQS expressed
their concerns in a June 8, 2000 letter (Appendix V) stating that the reservoir and dam
exhibited severe structural flaws and rapid internal erosion that could cause an
uncontrolled breach. In addition, seepage from the reservoir dam is particularly adverse
during current drought conditions and associated community water restrictions.
CMU's long-term plans include replacing Reservoir 1 and Reservoir 2 with a larger
reservoir to increase on-site capacity. This improved reservoir, in addition to existing
Reservoir 3, will accommodate the growth increase in Mecklenburg County by providing
500 million gallons of on-site raw water supply. The expansion will provide CMU with
operational flexibility and reliability to their service area during extended periods of
power outages and other disturbances. Further, the expansion will increase raw water
storage in cases of severe drought conditions as well as low water levels at Mountain
Island Lake. In addition, raw water reservoirs will also improve water quality by
allowing sediment to settle before the raw water undergoes treatment. The North
Carolina Public Water Supply Section requires that the Franklin Water Treatment Plant
utilize on-site terminal reservoirs for adequate treatment and enhanced reliability.
The proposed project is anticipated to be under contract in fall of 2008. Construction
activities are anticipated to begin in spring 2009 and completed in spring 2010.
BLOCK 22. SURFACE AREAS OF WETLANDS OR OTHER WATERS
FILLED
The proposed project includes the following impacts to on-site jurisdictional areas:
clean fill material to an elevation of 760 feet (Figure 713). This impact is necessary to
provide adequate upland area for the excavated material during the moisture -reduction
process.
Prior to construction, project plans included draining Reservoirs 1 and 2 into Reservoir 3.
In addition, fish that entered the reservoirs through water pipes were relocated. It is not
anticipated that Reservoir 3 will require modifications. The proposed reservoir will
'
encompass approximately 45.5 acres. The dam height is proposed to be 22 feet with an
upstream slope (entrance of raw water) of 2.5:1 and a downstream slope (exit of raw
water) of 3:1.

500 million gallons of on-site raw water supply. The expansion will provide CMU with
operational flexibility and reliability to their service area during extended periods of
power outages and other disturbances. Further, the expansion will increase raw water
storage in cases of severe drought conditions as well as low water levels at Mountain
Island Lake. In addition, raw water reservoirs will also improve water quality by
allowing sediment to settle before the raw water undergoes treatment. The North
Carolina Public Water Supply Section requires that the Franklin Water Treatment Plant
utilize on-site terminal reservoirs for adequate treatment and enhanced reliability.
The proposed project is anticipated to be under contract in fall of 2008. Construction
activities are anticipated to begin in spring 2009 and completed in spring 2010.

The excavated material from Wetlands A and B and Stream 1, including project -wide
excavated material from existing Reservoirs 1 and 2, will be placed adjacent to Reservoir
3, within the footprint of Wetland C by earthmoving equipment. Wetland C will be
drained into downstream portions of Stream 1 and the wetland will be permanently filled
with earthen material. Earthmoving equipment will transport the excavated saturated soil
to this area via existing infrastructure. This impact is necessary to provide an adequate
area to reduce moisture content of the excavated material for use to construct the dam and
reservoir liner cover and also for off-site transport. Appropriate measures, including
sediment and erosion control devices will be installed to prevent runoff into downstream
portions of Stream 1.

Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on location, terrain,
vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. 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.

RE: CMUD Raw Water Reservoir No. 1
Dear Mr. Huber,
On November 18, 1998, Land Quality staff of the Mooresville Regional Office
met with you and representatives of both Hazen and Sawyer and S&ME Engineering
firms at the Franklin. Treatment Plant. An on-site inspection of the 60 million gallon
lagoon was performed prior to the meeting. Serious structural flaws were found in the
dam. There was evidence of rapid internal erosion, which could result in an
uncontrolled breach of the dam. In this meeting you stated that long-term plans were
to replace both the 60 million gallon lagoon and the adjacent 40 million gallon. lagoon
with a single new 200 million gallon lagoon in the same location. In this meeting you
stated that construction of this new lagoon would be accelerated as soon as possible,
and that a preliminary report of the project would be available in 90 days. In the
meantime you chose to have S&ME to monitor the condition of the lagoon.
We later were advised by Mr. Don Cordell, P.E. of Hazen and Sawyer in his
letter of April 1, 1999, that the construction schedule was being pushed back and a
monitoring schedule was agreed to for the summer of 1999 to allow the level of water
to be raised to meet summertime water demands. The water level in the lagoon was to
be lowered beginning November 30, 1999. Since that time, we have had no further
indications from you concerning either construction or repair of the raw water
lagoons. We also have not been requested to allow the water level in the lagoons to
remain at the elevated point agreed to in early 1999 beyond the November 30, 1999
date.

Dear Ms. Knudsen:
1 The Natural Heritage Program has no record of rare species, significant natural communities, or
significant natural heritage areas at the site nor within a mile of the project area. Although our maps do
not show records of such natural heritage elements in the project area, it does not necessarily mean that
they are not present. It may simply mean that the area has not been surveyed. The use of Natural
Heritage Program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys, particularly if the project area
contains suitable habitat for rare species, significant natural communities, or priority natural areas.
You may wish to check the Natural Heritage Program database website at www.ncnhp.org for a listing of
rare plants and animals and significant natural communities in the county and on the quad map.
NC OneMap now provides digital Natural Heritage data online for free. This service provides site
specific information on GIS layers with Natural Heritage Program rare species occurrences and
Significant Natural Heritage Areas. The NC OneMap website provides Element Occurrence (EO) ID
numbers (instead of species name), and the data user is then encouraged to contact the Natural Heritage
Program for detailed information. This service allows the user to quickly and efficiently get site specific
NHP data without visiting the NHP workroom or waiting for the Information Request to be answered by
NHP staff. For more information about data formats and access, visit <www.nconemap.com/data.html>,
or email NC OneMap at <[e-mail]>.

Dear Ms. Knudsen and Ms. Beckstrom:
Subject: Species Assessment, Reservoir Expansion Project, Franklin Water Treatment Plant,
Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina (S&ME Project No. 1357-06-733A)
In your letter of August 15, 2007, you requested our comments on the subject project. We have
reviewed the information you presented and are providing the following comments in accordance
with the provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, as amended (16 U.S.C.
' 661-667e), and section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C.
1531-1543) (Act).
1
Based on the information we received, Charlotte Mecklenburg Utilities (CMU) is proposing a
250 -million -gallon reservoir expansion project at the Franklin Water Treatment Plant, located at
5200 Brookshire Boulevard in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. Two smaller
existing reservoirs on the site have been in use for about 80 years. To become compliant with
dam safety regulations, CMU is proposing to drain and demolish the two smaller reservoirs and
construct a single larger raw -water reservoir.
Endangered Species - According to our records and a review of the information provided, no
federally listed endangered or threatened species or their habitats occur on the sites. Therefore,
we believe the requirements under section 7 of the Act are fulfilled. However, obligations under
section 7 of the Act must be reconsidered if. (1) new information reveals impacts of this
identified action that may affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously
considered, (2) this action is subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this
review, or (3) a new species is listed or critical habitat is determined that may be affected by the
identified action.

keep us informed as to the progress of this project. If we can be of further assistance or if you
have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Bryan Tompkins of our staff at
