(Timmons) is submitting this Pre - Construction Notification (PCN) for authorization under the requirements of Nationwide Permit (NWP) 29 for the proposed Boulevard Homes Connector Road (Site)'. This PCN is being submitted for unavoidable permanent impacts to jurisdictional streams associated with the construction of a two lane road and pedestrian sidewalk that will serve as a connection between Boulevard Homes lReclevelopment (recently renamed "The Renaissance ") and the existing Central Piedmont Community College (CPCC) Harris Campus (see Enclosure 1: Pre - Construction Notification Form). The proposed road connection was a condition of zoning based on a traffic impact analysis to ease pressure at the intersection of West Boulevard and Billy Graham Parkway. The Boulevard Homes Redevelopment Project consists of the construction of 250 apartments, 110 senior living units, a K -8 school, and a Child Development Center. The connection to the CPCC Harris Campus is important due to the fact that it links this community to an important educational resource in order to provide a workforce development for its residents. The proposed project is located approximately 0.5 mile east of the Douglas International Airport in Charlotte, NC (see Enclosure 2: Vicinity Map). The 2.2 acre project area consists of mid - successional hardwood forest with gently rolling terrain. General land use in the vicinity of the project consists of a mix of residential and commercial structures, undeveloped forested land, and the Douglas International Airport. The Site is drained by an unnamed tributary to Taggart Creek and is located with the Lower Catawba Watershed, Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 03050103 (see Enclosure 3': HUC map). . The Site's design consists of a two lane roadway, pedestrian sidewalks, and the associated stormwater structures including curbs, drop inlets, and outfalls. To accomplish the . CIVIL ENGINEERING I ENVIRONMENTAL I SURVEYING I GIS I LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE I CONSTRUCTION SERVICES goals of the project, impacts to jurisdictional areas are unavoidable. The location of impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. identified within the project limits are attached as Enclosure 4: Waters of the U.S. Impacts Map. Jurisdictional impacts associated with the construction of the Site include 142 linear feet of intermittent stream required for the installation of a 48" reinforced concrete pipe, headwalls, and the placement of Class I riprap for the inlet and outfall protection of the pipe. Installation of the culvert pipe is required to provide the hydrologic connection of this intermittent tributary beneath the proposed roadway. In order to avoid secondary impacts to the stream, the culvert shall' be countersunk 6" below the natural streambed at both the inlet and outlet of the structure to convey low flows. A wetland delineation was conducted by Timmons to identify the presence and location of jurisdictional wetlands and other waters of the U.S. within the project limits in accordance with the guidance provided by the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) Wetland Delineation Manual and subsequently issued USACE guidance. A Final Jurisdictional Determination for the Site was confirmed by the USACE on January 21, 2011 (see Enclosure 5: Jurisdictional Determination Letter and Enclosure 6: Original Wetland Delineation Map). Unfortunately, during the design of the project, the project limits shifted slightly causing portions of the proposed limits of disturbance to be outside of the confirmed jurisdictional determination limits. The areas outside of the original jurisdictional determination limits have since been re- evaluated in the field and did not reveal any additional jurisdictional features present onsite. A map depicting the update project limits as well as data collected during the re- evaluation which includes additional wetland determination data forms and representative photographs are attached as Enclosure 7: Updated Wetland Delineation Information. A FEMA flood map is included for your review (see Enclosure 8: FEMA FIRM Map). The map shows the project area within Zone X, meaning that it is in an area of minimum flood hazard. Because the proposed work is outside of the 100 year floodplain, no increase in the 100 year flood elevations is anticipated. A query of available'on -line threatened and endangered species information was performed to gain insight regarding the presence of sensitive flora and fauna in association with this project. Online database searches were completed using the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (FWS) Information, Planning, and Conservation System database, and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources' (NCDENR) Natural Heritage Program database. The species lists generated from these searches are attached as Enclosure 9: Threatened and Endangered Species Information. A query of the Northl Carolina State Historic Preservation Office using the HPOWEB GIS Service was performed for the project area and the vicinity (0.25 miles from Site boundaries) to determine the effect, if any, that the project would have on cultural resources. The results found that there are no architectural or archeological resources within the search area. The map generated is attached for your review as Enclosure 10: Cultural Resource Map. I ion Based on the above information and attached supporting documentat o , t h e app licant requests approval of the proposed activity under the requirements of NWP 29. Please review the enclosed material and contact Jason Bohdan at 804 - 200 -6386 if you have any questions or require further information. Thank you for your attention to this 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 etseq.). 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 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/pdUTOC- GLOS.PDF Please be aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and G Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these spec' y e ire development of an eagle conservation plan ( http:// www. fws. gov /windenergy /eagle_guidance.hti o.
