Rindner, PLLC. Subject: SAW -2017-01857 - Pre -Construction Notification for NWP #3, #12, #33 and #39 and a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Request Update for the Airport South Site, Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, NC Ms. Higgins and Messrs. Shaeffer, Johnson, and Hamstead, Enclosed is a request for Nationwide Permit #3, #12, #33 and #39 and a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Request Update associated with the proposed Airport South Site located in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, NC. The site is situated near developed, commercial/industrial use areas and is located just south of the Charlotte Airport. It consists of two intermittent streams (Intermittent Streams A and AA), two perennial streams (Perennial Streams B/C and F) and two wetlands (Wetlands D/E and G). Approximate length of all streams identified within the site total 3,576 linear feet. The two identified onsite wetlands total approximately 0.08 acres. A site visit was conducted to review and confirm WEPG's delineation on August 24, 2017 by Alan Johnson of NCDEQ. A subsequent Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Request was submitted to the USACE on August 29, 2017. This request was submitted prior to the site being surveyed; however, the appended request has been updated to include a more accurate approximation of onsite stream lengths and wetland areas verified by NCDEQ. Please refer to accompanying Jurisdictional Determination section for updated information as a supplement the August 291h request. Charlotte Office: www.wetlands-epg.com Asheville Office: 10612-D Providence Rd. 1070 Tunnel Rd., Bldg. I PMB 550 Suite 10, PMB 283 Charlotte, NC 28277 Asheville, NC 28805 (704)904-2277 (828)708-7059 len.rindner@wetlands-epg.com 1 amanda.jones@wetlands-epg.com Wetlands and Environmental Planning Group Leonard S. Rindner, PLLC. In addition to the exiting surface waters identified onsite, current conditions include an approximate 591 linear foot culvert that conveys flow from an offsite stream (Perennial Stream H) to Perennial Stream F. Condition of the culvert is poor and is exposed and failing in several locations. As shown on the appended historical aerials, this culvert was installed in the mid to late 1960's for construction of a raceway. This historical impact has not been permitted but will be accounted for as an impact as part of this project. Because this impact occurred prior to 1996, impacts associated with the historical installation of this culvert qualify as an acreage impact. This historical impact totals approximately 0.095 acres. Please refer to Table 1 for a summary of historical and proposed impacts associated with this project. Table 1: Summary of Proposed Stream Impacts/Permits Impact (Permanent (P) or Temporary (T)) Permit No. Stream Impact Historical Culvert Installation/Removal P 3 0.095 Acres Utility Line Activities T 12 80 LF Temporary Access T 33 80 LF Commercial Developments P 39 300 LF Total Impacts 0.095 Acres / 460 LF Avoidance and Minimization Discussion: The Airport South Business Park has been designed to optimize available buildable area while preserving existing wetlands and minimizing impacts to onsite streams. Due to the location of the onsite stream and the restricted space within the site, complete avoidance of impacts was not practicable. Impacts to site surface waters associated with the proposed development were limited through design location/orientation of the proposed structures and limiting adjacent parking areas. Impacts from the currently proposed project will total approximately 300 linear feet of permanent impacts and approximately 160 linear feet of temporary impacts. Proposed permanent impacts are to include the removal of the existing 42 -inch, 591 linear foot CMP culvert and replace it with an approximate 42 -inch, 940 linear foot RCP culvert. This proposed culvert will capture flow from the offsite Perennial Stream H at the current culvert inlet location and bypass flow to Perennial Stream F at an outfall location approximately 300 linear feet downstream from the current culvert outfall location/origin of Perennial Stream F. The 300 LF of permanent impacts to Perennial Stream F will allow the four buildings on the northern side of the site to retain the shared driveway that will be required by the City to access West Boulevard. At the end of the driveway, a cul- de-sac was included to allow for fire access and vehicle turning movements. The cul-de-sac requires a large fill slope to tie in to existing grade at the end of the road due to the steep existing grades on site. The impacts to Stream F have been limited by including a retaining wall at the end of the stream impacts to reduce the overall length of the slope. Additional impacts to Intermittent Stream A were considered in a conceptual design to join all five buildings into a single site. However, the site was proposed as is to avoid permanent wetland impacts to the extent feasible while yielding enough developable area to make the site financially viable. All additional stream impacts are temporary in nature and will be planted and restored to preconstruction conditions. No wetland impacts are proposed as part of this project. Temporary Impacts Temporary impacts total approximately 160 linear feet and are associated with two temporary access crossings, two utility crossings and two temporary construction access areas at the intake and outfall of the proposed culvert. Use of temporary crossings at the designated locations will be necessary to provide access for transport of fill in construction of proposed structure building pads. Each temporary crossing Charlotte Office: www.wetlands-epg.com Asheville Office: 10612-D Providence Rd. 1070 Tunnel Rd., Bldg. I PMB 550 Suite 10, PMB 283 Charlotte, NC 28277 Asheville, NC 28805 (704)904-2277 (828)708-7059 len.rindner@wetlands-epg.com 2 amanda.jones@wetlands-epg.com Wetlands and Environmental Planning Group Leonard S. Rindner, PLLC. location will have approximately 30 linear feet of impacts due to temporary fill and culvert installation. Temporary Crossing #1 will be installed to transport fill from the southwestern portion of the site to the northeastern portion of the site. Temporary crossing #2 will be installed to transport fill from a borrow area located south of Perennial Stream B/C and west of Perennial Stream F. Approximate installation of the temporary access locations will occur in the spring of 2018. Construction schedule for Buildings 100, 200 and 400 will begin in 2018 and in 2021 for Buildings 300 and 500. Construction is anticipated to conclude in 2022. The proposed temporary crossings will be necessary for the duration of this period for planned cut and fill transport and site access during construction. All temporary crossings will be installed in accordance with NCDEQ Water Quality Certification Number 4094 and Charlotte Land Development Standards. Once construction is completed, all temporary fills will be removed in their entirety and the affected areas returned to pre -construction elevations. The affected areas will be revegetated, as appropriate. Two additional impact areas are associated with temporary construction access at the inlet and outfall locations of the proposed 940 linear foot culvert. Each location will have approximately 10 linear feet of associated temporary impacts for construction access. These temporary impacts will be restored to preconstruction conditions and will utilize matting and temporary stabilization to limit erosion and reestablish vegetation along the banks. A Conceptual Enhancement Plan A is attached and provides details for the stabilization of stream banks associated with both temporary crossings and construction access impacts. Temporary impacts for the proposed utility line crossings are associated with access and excavation implementing open -cut construction methods. Preliminary plans for stream crossings of the utility lines were to include boring techniques; however, both locations were determined to not be feasible due challenging topography and shallow bedrock. Impacts from the temporary excavation will be restored to preconstruction conditions and will utilize matting and temporary stabilization to limit erosion and reestablish vegetation along the banks. A Conceptual Enhancement Plan B is attached and provides details for the stabilization of stream banks. Proposed Mitigation: As mentioned above, the site has been heavily influenced by its urban setting and historical use. Onsite streams have been impacted by historic and current use and current concentrated stormwater flows have severely degraded stream morphology and habitat potential. The assessed reach (Perennial Stream F) has also been highly impacted by past channelization, rerouting and capture within the 591 -foot culvert. In attempts to better quantify the functional capacity of Perennial Stream F, a NCSAM (Version 2.1) was conducted. Results of the NCSAM were slightly skewed by the higher substrate, stream stability and thermoregulation scores. However, impacts due to channelization, incision and historical impacts were accurately influencing the final functional rating. Overall results of the NCSAM indicated a low Functional Class Rating for the onsite reach. This score is an accurate representation of the reach function when considering the current and historic anthropogenic influences on its potential, more natural condition. Any potential for stream rehabilitation and habitat development is severely restricted due its current functional capacity and the chronic impacts from direct and adjacent land use influences. Please refer to the NCSAM Stream Assessment section for metrics scores and ratings summaries. To compensate for the proposed stream impacts, while incorporating the current functional capacity of the onsite channel, the applicant is proposing payment into N.C. Division Mitigation Services (NCDMS). The acceptance letter provided by NCDMS indicates the site is within the expanded service area which typically doubles the mitigation ratio. Based on this information, we are proposing an overall/final Charlotte Office: www.wetlands-epg.com Asheville Office: 10612-D Providence Rd. 1070 Tunnel Rd., Bldg. I PMB 550 Suite 10, PMB 283 Charlotte, NC 28277 Asheville, NC 28805 (704)904-2277 (828)708-7059 len.rindner@wetlands-epg.com 3 amanda.jones@wetlands-epg.com Wetlands and Environmental Planning Group Leonard S. Rindner, PLLC. mitigation ratio of 3:1 for 300 linear feet of stream channel impacts. Enclosed is the conditional acceptance letter from NCDMS. Also enclosed is a copy of our Threatened/Endangered Species Evaluation for the site in which no listed species were identified within the project area. The site is wooded which may be considered summer roosting habitat for the listed Northern Long Eared Bat. However, we have consulted with the latest guidance associated with the Final 4(d) ruling and there are no known hibernation and/or roosts sites within a 45 -mile radius of the project area. Based on this information we believe that the project meets the exemption criteria for the 4(d) rule and formal USFWS concurrence is not required.

Version: May 2017 Page 3 Jurisdictional Determination Request F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One) F71I 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. 1-1 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. aSize of Property or Review Area 54.4 acres. aThe property boundary (or review area boundary) is clearly physically marked on the site.

For Approved Jurisdictional Determinations: Jurisdictional wetland features should be labeled as Wetland Waters of the US, 404 wetlands, etc. Please include the acreage of these features. Jurisdictional non -wetland features (i.e. tidal/navigable waters, tributaries, impoundments) should be labeled as Non -Wetland Waters of the US, stream, tributary, open water, relatively permanent water, pond, etc. Please include the acreage or linear length of each of these features as appropriate. Isolated waters, waters that lack a significant nexus to navigable waters, or non - jurisdictional upland features should be identified as Non -Jurisdictional. Please include a justification in the label regarding why the feature is non jurisdictional (i.e. "Isolated", "No Significant Nexus", or "Upland Feature"). Please include the acreage or linear length of these features as appropriate. For Preliminary Jurisdictional Determinations: Wetland and non -wetland features should not be identified as Jurisdictional, 404, Waters of the United States, or anything that implies jurisdiction. These features can be identified as Potential Waters of the United States, Potential Non -wetland Waters of the United States, wetland, stream, open water, etc. Please include the acreage and linear length of these features as appropriate.

It can be found on the Charlotte West, NC USGS Topographic Quadrangle Map; latitude is 35.2022 N, longitude is -80.9255 W. The topography consists of upland flats grading into gentle to moderate slopes, with the elevation ranging from 610 to 690 ft. (Figure 1). The site is covered with a secondary growth, disturbed mixed pine/hardwood forest, with areas of highly disturbed, overgrown scrub/shrub thickets, old roads, and trash dumps. Figure 1: Wetlands and Environmental Planning Group Leonard S. Rindner, PLLC. Airport South Threatened / Endangered / Protected Sj)ecies Evaluation METHODOLOGY: The US Fish and Wildlife Service website httr)://www.fws.gov/endangered/ was referenced to determine the occurrence of Threatened and Endangered species for Mecklenburg County North Carolina (Table 1). Table 1 summarizes listed/protected species recognized in Mecklenburg County as of August 1, 2017. Maps and aerial photographs were assembled and the site was investigated August 2, 2017.

Rindner, PLLC. Airport South — Threatened / Endangered / Protected Species Evaluation Three plant species with federal protection were included in the survey efforts: • Schweinitz's Sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii), listed as Federally Endangered, is typically found in open habitats which historically have been maintained by wildfires and grazing bison and elk herds. Now most occurrences are limited to roadsides, woodland and field edges, and utility rights-of-way (ROW). • Smooth Coneflower (Echinacea laevigata), listed as Federally Endangered, is typically found in open woods, cedar barrens, roadsides, clear cuts, dry limestone bluffs and power line rights-of-way, requiring abundant sunlight and little competition from other plant species. • Michaux's Sumac (Rhus michauxii), listed as Federally Endangered, requires habitat of sandy forests and woodland edges. This species requires periodic fire as a part of its ecology. A total of three animal species with federal protection are listed as potentially occurring in Mecklenburg County: • Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), protected by the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, typically inhabits forested areas near large bodies of open water such as lakes, marshes, seacoasts and rivers, where there are suitable fish populations and tall trees for nesting and roosting. Carolina Heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorata), listed as Federally Endangered, is restricted to cool, clean, well -oxygenated water. Stable, silt- free stream beds are required for this species. Typically stable areas occur where the stream banks are well -vegetated with trees and shrubs. • Northern Long-eared Bat (Myotis septentrionalis), listed as Federally Threatened. During summer, northern long-eared bats roost singly or in colonies underneath bark, in cavities, or in crevices of both live and dead trees. Males and non -reproductive females may also roost in cooler places, like caves and mines. It has also been found, rarely, roosting in structures like barns and sheds. Northern long-eared bats spend winter hibernating in caves and mines, called hibernacula. Wetlands and Environmental Planning Group Leonard S. Rindner, PLLC. Airport South Threatened / Endangered / Protected Species Evaluation RESULTS: The site is covered with a secondary growth, disturbed mixed pine/hardwood forest, with areas of highly disturbed, semi open and overgrown scrub/shrub thickets, old roads, and trash dumps. There is roadside and utility right-of-way habitat along West Boulevard and Horseshoe Lane. The areas on site with disturbed, mixed pine/hardwood forest are somewhat fragmented and on the lower slopes and stream corridors. Other areas are covered by younger, early successional trees and shrubs dominated by with exotic invasive species. The average diameter at breast height (DBH) for the canopy trees is 10 inches, with some larger trees present. Canopy species include Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda), Short -leaf Pine (P. echinata), Virginia Pine (P. virginiana), White Oak (Quercus alba), Red Oak (Q. rubra), Southern Red Oak (Q. falcata), Willow Oak (Q. phellos), Shagbark Hickory (Carya ovata), Sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), Sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), Tulip Poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), and White Ash (Fraxinus americana). Subcanopy species present are Black Gum (Nyssa sylvatica), Redbud (Cercis canadensis), Winged Elm (Ulmus alata), Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana), Red Maple (Acer rubra), Flowering Dogwood (Cornus florida), Red Mulberry (Morus rubra) and American Holly (Ilex opaca). Invasive small trees are present, namely Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altissima) and Mimosa (Albizia julibrissin). Shrubs present are Blueberry (Vaccinium sp.), Strawberry Bush (Euonymus americanus), Spicebush (Lindera benzoin), Russian Olive (Elaeagnus umbellata), and Chinese Privet (Ligustrum sinense). The herb layer includes Christmas Fern (Polystichum acrostichoides), Spotted Wintergreen (Chimaphila maculata), Wild Ginger (Hexastylis arifolia), Running Pine (Diphastiastrum digitatum), Bedstraw (Galium sp.), and Japanese Stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum). Vines present are Japanese Honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), Catbrier (Smilax sp.), Trumpet Creeper (Campsis radicans), Virginia Creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia), Muscadine (Vitis rotundifolia), and Poison Ivy (Toxicodendron radicans). The old roads and semi open areas with remnants of past site use, including rubble dumps, trash piles, old tires, gravel and old asphalt, are covered in a mixed shrub/herb/vine complex dominated by Winged Sumac (Rhus copallina), Blackberry (Rubus spp.), Serecia Lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata), Fescue (Festuca sp.), Sicklepod (Cassia obtusifolia), Dog fennel (Eupatorium spp.), Broomsedge (Andropogon virginicus), Wisteria (Wisteria sinensis), and Porcelain Berry (Ampelopsis glandulosa var. brevipedunculata). The roadsides and power line rights-of-way along West Boulevard and Horsehoe Lane have mowed Fescue (Festuca sp.) shoulders. The narrow transitional ecotone at the woods edges are made up Serecia Lespedeza, Broomsedge (Andropogon virginica), Goldenrod (Solidago spp.), Blackberry and Multiflora Rose (Rosa multiflora).

Ahport South -- Threatened /Endangered /Protected Species Evaluation Endangered/Protected Species Results • Although potential habitat exists for Schweinitz's Sunflower, Michaux's Sumac and Smooth Coneflower along the roadside corridors, field and woods edges, examination of these areas revealed no occurrences on- site. • No habitat exists on the site for Bald Eagles, and there were no sightings nor were any nesting sites observed. • The streams on site do not have the characteristics to support Carolina Heelsplitters. Based on existing documentation, Carolina Heelsplitter populations have not been previously identified in this basin. • Comparing this site location to the USFWS Asheville office's website (http://www.fws.aov/asheville/htmis/proiect review/NLEB in WNC.html) it appears that the site meets the "exempt" criteria which requires no further action under section 7 of the Endangered Species Act for the northern long eared bat. RECOMMENDATIONS: We recommend further consultation with you and your project planners and engineers regarding coordination with USFWS and other federal and state agencies if needed.
