3. Project Description
3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this
application:
The project area consists of forested areas and residential houses with maintained lawns. On-site elevations range from 670-
70 feet above mean sea level (Figure 2). Land cover within the project area consists of deciduous forest, evergreen forest,
herbaceous areas, and woody wetlands (Figure 3).
According to the United States Department of Agriculture - Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS) Web Soil
Survey of Mecklenburg County (Figure 4) and the NRCS Published Soil Survey for Mecklenburg County (Figure 5), on-site soils
consist of five soil types. Iredell fine sandy loams (IrA and IrB) are listed on the Web Soil Surrey as containing hydric inclusions.
There are five potentially jurisdictional waters of the U.S. located within the property. These waters consist of three jurisdictional
stream channels (Streams A -C), and two jurisdictional wetlands (Wetlands AA and BB).
The surrounding land use consists of single-family residential areas, and forested areas.
3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
0.29 ac.
3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property: 20 linear feet of
perennial stream, 1,588 linear feet of intermittent stream
3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
The purpose of this project is to develop the property into a single-family residential subdivision. This project will provide
residential housing for Huntersville, North Carolina to meet the growing demand for housing due to rapid population growth in
the Charlotte metropolitan area.
Page 3 of 16
PCN Form — Version 1.4 January 2009

3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The project proposed developing the site for a single-family residential development. Under NWP No. 29, unavoidable
permanent impacts to jurisdictional waters associated with this project total 0.29 acre of potentially jurisdictional wetland and
are the result of fill associated with lots and road. Proposed stream impacts total 130 If and are the result of a road crossing.
The proposed site plan and impacts are depicted in Attachment D.
S1 - Proposed Road Crossing
Filling the upstream portion of Stream B will result in 130 linear feet of permanent impact to a Seasonal Stream B (Attachment
D). The connecting roadway between the cul-de-sac roadways must be provided in its current location due to block length
requirements. Block length requirements and lengths of cul-de-sac roadways are limits for fire accessibility through the
subdivision and must be provided at this location. The wall location parallel to the roadway has been dictated to allow for a
safer slope parallel to a roadway and pedestrians. The slope cannot be increased to reduce impacts because of slope stability.
Increasing the slope may increase impacts because of tiers that would be need to be installed for stability.
W1 and W1— Proposed Fill for Lots and Road
Proposed fill for lots and road will result in a total of 0.29 acre of permanent impact to Wetlands AA and BB. These impacts a
needed to meet the project goals for the total lots within the subdivision.
As the wetlands are small and do not appear to have connection to the downstream waters, it was determined that redesign
around these wetlands would not be preferred option.
Typical construction equipment such as excavators, track hoes, and bulldozers will be used to construct this development.

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
To avoid and minimize impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S., the site was delineated prior to finalizing the site plan and the
proposed site plan was designed around the delineation results. 1,458 linear feet of on-site stream channel were avoided
through site design. The off-site sewerline will cross the creek via directional boring methods and will not result in additional
impacts. Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to downstream waters.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to downstream waters. Silt fence will be
installed around the jurisdictional features, outside of the avoided wetlands and streams. Construction activities and impacts to
on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. will comply with all conditions of Nationwide Permit No. 29 and Water Quality Certificate
No. 4139. All work will be constructed in the dry and all temporary fill will be removed following the work.

Jurisdictional Determination Request
F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One)
✓❑ I am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminary 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.
G. ALL REQUESTS
Map of Property or Project Area. This Map must clearly depict the boundaries of the
review area.
✓❑ Size of Property or Review Area 36 acres.
❑ The property boundary (or review area boundary) is clearly physically marked on the site.

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 terns 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 terns 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:

Expiration of Acceptance: 3/25/2020
County: Mecklenburg
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the NCDEQ Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) is willing to
accept payment for compensatory mitigation for impacts associated with the above referenced project as
indicated in the table below. Please note that this decision does not assure that participation in the DMS in -
lieu fee mitigation program will be approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation for project impacts.
It is the responsibility of the applicant to contact permitting agencies to determine if payment to the DMS will
be approved. You must also comply with all other state, federal or local government permits, regulations or
authorizations associated with the proposed activity including G.S. § 143-214.11.
This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter and is not transferable. If we have not
received a copy of the issued 404 Permit/401 Certification within this time frame, this acceptance will
expire. It is the applicant's responsibility to send copies of the permits to DMS. Once DMS receives a copy
of the permit(s) an invoice will be issued based on the required mitigation in that permit and payment must
be made prior to conducting the authorized work. The amount of the in -lieu fee to be paid by an applicant is
calculated based upon the Fee Schedule and policies listed on the DMS website.
Based on the information supplied by you in your request to use the DMS, the impacts for which you are
requesting compensatory mitigation credit are summarized in the following table. The amount of mitigation
required and assigned to DMS for this impact is determined by permitting agencies and may exceed the
impact amounts shown below.

*DMS does not have non -riparian wetland credit available in this service area. In accordance with the
directive from the February 8, 2011 IRT meeting, non -riparian wetland impacts located in the mountains and
piedmont areas of North Carolina can be accepted as requested, but mitigated utilizing riparian wetland
mitigation credits. Upon receipt of payment, DMS will take responsibility for providing the compensatory
mitigation. The mitigation will be performed in accordance with the In -Lieu Fee Program instrument dated
July 28, 2010 and 15A NCAC 02B .0295 as applicable. Thank you for your interest in the DMS in -lieu fee
mitigation program. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Kelly Williams
