USACE Action ID SAW 2017-01878
Dear Mr. Shaeffer:
On behalf of Charlotte Water, STV Engineers, Inc., (STV) is submitting a Pre -Construction
Notification Form pursuant to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Section 404 Nationwide
Permit #12 — Utility Line Activities for the permitting requirements of the proposed Charlotte
Water Little Sugar Creek Tributary to Fairview Road Sanitary Sewer Improvements Project.
Charlotte Water has retained STV to act as their agent in matters related to design and
wetlands permitting services for this project; reference Attachment A for an Agent Certification
of Authorization. The PCN form is included as Attachment B. Figures and impact drawings
referenced in the ensuing discussion are included in Attachment C. Photographs of the project
study area are included in Attachment D. Agency Correspondence is found in Attachment E.
The Charlotte Water notification letter to the area property owners is found in Attachment F.
Pre -Construction Notification is being provided to the USACE due to the proposed mechanized
land clearing in a forested wetland.
Prosect Description
The proposed project study area (PSA) is located east of Little Sugar Creek, south of Tyvola
Road and Fairview Road, north of Archdale Drive and west of Piedmont Row Drive in the City of
Charlotte, North Carolina (Attachment C — Figure 1). Charlotte Water is proposing the relocation
and replacement of an existing 12"/10"/8" clay sewer pipe installed in the 1960's which is
deteriorating and undersized for the rapid growth in the South Park Area. The proposed sewer
replacement will largely follow an unnamed tributary of Little Sugar Creek. The western section
of the proposed sewer is planned to follow an existing greenway gravel drive, cross ballfields (fill
areas), and parallel immediately adjacent to the existing sewer through Park Road Park. The
middle portion of the project will consist of replacing in place the existing sewer with trenchless
pipe bursting methods used in some areas through the residential neighborhood. The eastern
portion of the project is fully developed commercial business and parking areas. In this east
area, the proposed sewer will follow the existing alignment in parking areas. This project will be
approximately 7,400 linear feet, of which at least 2,000 linear feet will be replaced in

place. Existing sewers in the park will be taken out of service or rehabilitated if necessary to
minimize disturbance. Charlotte Water notified the adjacent property owners of the proposed
project in a letter dated January 31, 2017 (Attachment E — Property Owners Notification). This
letter also notified property owners of the potential need for Charlotte Water and STV personnel
to be on or near their property for the collection of data.
Based on the Mecklenburg County SID aerial imagery, and verified by field review, the project
study area (PSA) encompasses approximately 76 acres and consists primarily of Park Road
Park in the western portion of the PSA, undeveloped, mixed hardwood forested areas in the
central portion of the PSA, and developed residential and commercial properties in the eastern
portion of the PSA. Ten perennial streams, two open water ponds and two bottomland
hardwood forest wetlands are located in the PSA. Adjacent to the PSA are mostly commercial
and residential properties with some areas of undeveloped mixed hardwood forest.
Background and Methodolony
STV Senior Environmental Scientist Brandon J. Phillips, C.H.M.M., and Environmental Scientist
Joshua Kotheimer, W.P.I.T. conducted a review of the PSA on February 7 and 9, 2017.
Jurisdictional waters of the U.S. are defined by 33 CFR 328.3(b) and protected by Section 404
of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344), which is administered and enforced in North Carolina
by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Wilmington District. Potential wetland areas
were defined using the USACE Routine On -Site Determination method as described in the 1987
"Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual."' This technique uses a multi -parameter
approach, which requires positive evidence of hydrophytic vegetation, wetland hydrology, and
hydric soils. In addition, the USACE "Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland
Delineation Manual: Eastern Mountains and Piedmont Region (Version 2.0)"2 was utilized for
further procedural and technical guidance. Potential jurisdictional stream channels were
classified according to the most recent North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR)3
methodology. The stream centerlines, or stream boundaries at the ordinary high water mark,
and wetland boundaries were delineated using blue and white striped flagging and the
jurisdictional boundaries approximated with a Trimble Geo7X hand-held Global Positioning
System (GPS) unit capable of subfoot accuracy and mapped using ArcGIS 10.3 software.
Prior to fieldwork, the following references were reviewed to identify potential waters of the U.S.,
including wetland areas:

The USGS map depicts several water resources or 'blue line' features in the PSA (Attachment
C — Figure 2). The USDA Soil Survey also depicts several water resources in the PSA
(Attachment C — Figure 3). The USFWS NWI identifies streams (RSUBH, R2UBH and R2USA),
an open water pond (RUBHb), and emergent wetlands (PEM1Ch) within the PSA.
The Little Sugar Creek Tributary to Fairview Road Sanitary Sewer Improvements Project PSA in
Charlotte is located entirely within the Southern Outer Piedmont Physiographic Province of
North Carolina, which is characterized by gently rolling hills with narrow, level floodplains along
streams. Based on topographic mapping (Attachment C — Figure 2), elevations in the PSA
range from approximately 650 feet above National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) to 570 feet
NGVD. The highest elevation in the PSA is located in the eastern portion of the PSA. The
lowest elevation is located in the southwestern portion of the PSA where Little Sugar Creek
exits the site.
According to the USDA NRCS, the PSA contains 14 soil types: Cecil sandy clay loam, 8 to 15
percent slopes, moderately eroded (CeD2); Cecil -Urban land complex, 2 to 8 percent slopes
(CuB); Cecil -Urban land complex, 8 to 15 percent slopes (CuD); Enon sandy loam, 2 to 8
percent slopes (EnB); Enon sandy loam, 8 to 15 percent slopes (EnD); Helena sandy loam, 2 to
8 percent slopes (HeB); Helena -Urban land complex, 2 to 8 percent slopes (HuB); Mecklenburg -
Urban land complex, 2 to 8 percent slopes (MkB); Monacan loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes,
frequently flooded (MO); Monacan and Arents soils, frequently flooded (MS); Pacolet sandy
loam, 15 to 25 percent slopes (PaE); Udorthents, loamy (UL); Urban Land (Ur); and, Wilkes -
Urban land complex, 8 to 15 percent slopes (WuD); Attachment C — Figure 3. The Helena sandy
loam, Helena -Urban land complex, and Monacan loam soil types are considered to be hydric.
The PSA is located in the Lower Catawba River (HUC8 03050103) drainage basin. The major
stream in the PSA is Little Sugar Creek. Little Sugar Creek generally flows in a southern
direction to Sugar Creek. Sugar Creek drains to the south and into the Catawba River.
Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S.
Jurisdictional waters of the U.S. located within the PSA include ten streams (Streams A, B, C,
D, E, F, G, H, I and J), two wetlands (Wetland A and Wetland B) and two ponds (Pond A and
Pond B). All of the streams were determined to be a relatively permanent waters (RPWs) with
either seasonal or perennial flow. Wetland A and Wetland B are small, bottomland hardwood
forest wetlands. Pond A and Pond B are open waters located within the Park Road Park; see
Attachment C — Figure 4 for the approximate location of these waters of the U.S. within the
PSA. Representative photographs of the non -wetland and wetland features are included in
Attachment D. A brief description of these jurisdictional waters of the U.S. follows.
Streams or Relatively Permanent Waters
Stream A (Little Sugar Creek) is located along the western boundary of the PSA (Attachment D
— Photograph 1), and flows to the south, and out of the PSA. Stream A is approximately 60 feet
wide with a bank height of five feet and is approximately 765 linear feet within the PSA; see
Attachment C — Figure 4A. Stream A is depicted on the USGS mapping and the Mecklenburg
County Soils Survey. Stream A was determined to be an RPW with perennial flow. Stream A
was also concluded to be aquatically important and subject to regulation by the USACE. Stream
A drains to Sugar Creek (RPW), which drains to the Catawba River (Traditional Navigable
Water).

Wetlands
Two wetland areas are present in the PSA. Wetland A is a bottomland hardwood forest wetland
that is located north of and abutting Stream B just east of Park Road in the central portion of the
PSA; see Attachment C — Figure 4B. The overstory is dominated by black willow (Salix nigra),
box elder (Acer negundo) and American sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) with Chinese privet
(Ligustrum sinense) and sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) in the understory. Common winter
cress (Barbarea vulgaris) and Japanese stilt grass (Microstegium vimineum) are common
herbaceous species (Attachment D — Photograph 12). Wetland A is approximately 0.29 acre in
size.
Wetland B is a bottomland hardwood forest wetland similar to Wetland A that is located south of
and abutting Stream B just east of Park Road in the central portion of the PSA; see Attachment
Page 5

Chariotte Water - Little Sugar Creek Tributary to Fairview Road Sanitary December 22, 2017
Sewer Improvements Project — Request for NWP #12
C — Figure 4B. The overstory is dominated by black willow, box elder, American sycamore, and
sweetgum with Chinese privet and saplings of the overstory species in the understory. Common
winter cress and Japanese stilt grass are common herbaceous species (Attachment D —
Photograph 13). Wetland B is approximately 0.38 acre in size.
Open Waters
Two man-made, open water ponds are located within the Park Road Park. Pond A is
approximately 7.1 acres in size and receives hydrology from Stream B (Attachment D —
Photograph 14) and drains into Stream B (Attachment D — Photograph 4). A much smaller
ponded open water area, Pond B (approximately 0.004 acre), is located adjacent to and south
of Pond A and drains to Pond A through a pipe culvert; see Attachment C — Figure 4A.
A Jurisdictional Determination Request was submitted to the USACE on August 25, 2017. A
field verification with the USACE was held on December 1, 2017. The Notification of
Jurisdictional Determination is pending (USACE Action ID SAW -2017-01878).
Purpose and Need
The relocation and replacement of an existing 12"/10"/8" clay sewer pipe is a necessary
infrastructure project by the City of Charlotte. The existing sewer pipe was installed in the
1960's, and portions of the sewer pipe are now deteriorating and creating a potential water
quality hazard to the adjacent streams. Additionally, the existing sewer pipes are undersized
and would be unable to handle the required loads that are anticipated due to the rapid growth in
the South Park Area. The proposed new sewer pipes will be 12"/24"/30" in order to handle the
required loads that are anticipated.
Impacts to Waters of the U.S.
The project involves the replacement of the existing sewer pipes as well as the relocation of
sewer pipes. Stream and wetland impacts are depicted on Attachment C — Stream and Wetland
Impacts plan sheets. Sheet 1 is the cover sheet and provides the index of sheets as well as an
overall view of the project study area. Sheets 2A, 26, and 2C depict miscellaneous project
details including temporary stream crossings, check dams and open cut construction. Sheets 3
through 7 depict the proposed impacts to jurisdictional waters, which are limited to Stream B,
Stream I and Wetland A. Impacts to the jurisdictional waters of Stream B that would result from
the open cuts necessary to install the sewer pipe crossing of the stream will be temporary.
Erosion and sedimentation control measures will be installed before clearing and excavation
begins. Prior to performing the open cuts through Stream B, coffer dams and a pump around
system will be installed within the crossing area in order to perform work in the dry as required
(Attachment C — Sheet 2A).
Impacts to the jurisdictional waters of Stream. I that would result from the temporary construction
easement required for a jack -and -bore directional drilling receiving pit will be temporary. Prior to
allowing construction equipment to cross Stream I at the temporary easement, coffer dams and
a pump around system will be installed within the crossing area in order to perform work in the
dry as required (Attachment C — Sheet 7A). Flowing water will not be permitted to contact the
disturbed area. The areas impacted by the placement of the sewer pipes or the temporary
construction crossing will then be restored to their original contours and revegetated to provide
stabilization (Attachment C — Sheet 26). Typical profiles of the sewer pipe trenches to be
installed are depicted on Attachment C — Sheet 2C.
Page 6

Charlotte Water - Little Sugar Creek Tributary to Fairview Road Sanitary December 22, 2017
Sewer Improvements Project — Request for NWP #12
Impacts to the jurisdictional wetland area designated as Wetland A have been proposed.
Impacts will result from the need to tie a new sewer pipe into the existing sewer junction that is
located within the forested Wetland A. A manhole is located above the sewer junction within the
wetland, as well as a portion of the sewer alignment to be abandoned in-place. Permanent
impacts to Wetland A will be unavoidable because of the need to keep the new sanitary sewer
easement clear of trees and shrubs. Approximately 0.03 acre of Wetland A will be permanently
impacted by the placement of the new sewer pipe and creation of the new sewer easement.
Approximately 0.02 acre of Wetland A will be temporarily impacted by the installation of the
sediment and erosion control around the sanitary sewer easement (Attachment C — Figure 3A
and 36). The wetland will be restored to original contours and seeded with native herbaceous
species, although the easement will be maintained and kept clear of trees and shrubs. The
wetland impact will also be off -set by the abandonment of a portion of the sewer line that
extends through Wetland A. The sewer easement located above the sewer pipe to be
abandoned will no longer be maintained and will be permitted to undergo natural succession to
a forested wetland.
The first sewer crossing of Stream B is proposed to the northeast of the Wetland A impact area.
The sewer crossing of Stream B will require an open cut through the stream channel. Prior to
impacting Stream B, erosion and sedimentation control will be installed and the pump around
system put in place to dewater the impact area. Proposed temporary impacts of approximately
31 linear feet (0.02 acre) to Stream B will occur (Attachment C — Figures 4A and 4B). Upon
completion of the sewer pipe installation, the stream contours will be restored and the
streambanks will be stabilized.
The second sewer crossing of Stream B is proposed to the east of the first Stream B impact
area. The sewer crossing of Stream B will again require an open cut through the stream
channel. Prior to impacting Stream B, erosion and sedimentation control will be installed and the
pump around system put in place to dewater the impact area. Proposed temporary impacts of
approximately 34 linear feet (0,01 acre) to Stream B will occur (Attachment C — Figures 5A and
5B). Upon completion of the sewer pipe installation, the stream contours will be restored and the
streambanks will be stabilized.
The third sewer crossing of Stream B is proposed to the east of the second Stream B impact
area. The sewer crossing of Stream B will again require an open cut through the stream
channel. Prior to impacting Stream B, erosion and sedimentation control will be installed and the
pump around system put in place to dewater the impact area. Proposed temporary impacts of
approximately 31 linear feet (0.01 acre) to Stream B will occur (Attachment C — Figures 6A and
613). Upon completion of the sewer pipe installation, the stream contours will be restored and the
streambanks will be stabilized.
Temporary impacts to Stream I are proposed in order to provide a temporary construction
easement for the installation of a receiving pit for a jack -and -bore directional drilling operation.
This jack -and -bore directional drilling operation is necessary to avoid additional impacts to
Stream B resulting from what would have been three additional open cuts to Stream B. The
temporary construction crossing of Stream I is required to access the jack -and -bore directional
drilling operation receiving pit. Approximately 41 linear feet (<0.01 acre) of temporary impact is
proposed (Attachment C — Figures 7A and 713). Prior to impacting Stream I, erosion and
sedimentation control will be installed, matting will be laid down for heavy equipment in order to
reduce soil disturbance impacts, and the pump around system put in place to dewater the
impact area.
Page 7

Charlotte Water - Little Sugar Creek Tributary to Fairview Road Sanitary December 22, 2017
Sewer Improvements Project — Request for NWP #12
A total of approximately 96 linear feet (0.04 acre) of temporary impacts is proposed to Stream B.
Temporary impacts to Stream I total approximately 41 linear feet for a project total of 137 linear
feet (0.05 acre) of temporary stream impacts.
NCDWR Water Quality Certification conditions have been considered during design and will be
met during the construction. The stream crossings are designed to be as near -perpendicular to
the stream as possible. Work in or adjacent to the stream shall be conducted so that the flowing
stream does not come into contact with the disturbed area. Necessary measures shall be taken
to prevent direct contact between uncured or curing concrete and the waters and wetlands.
Erosion control matting that incorporates plastic mesh and/or twine shall not be used along the
streambanks or within the wetlands. Disturbed areas will be restored to their pre -construction
state upon work completion. Please refer to the Wetland Notes on Attachment C — Sheet 2B for
additional details.
Avoidance and Minimization
Due to the nature of the project and the location of the existing 12"/10"/8" clay sewer pipe,
avoiding the temporary impacts to Stream B and Stream I, and the permanent impacts to
Wetland A are not possible. The existing location of the sanitary sewer easement and the need
to tie into the existing sewer pipe at Wetland A is a project requirement. The open cut impacts
areas to Stream B have been minimized to the greatest extent practicable. Three areas of
potential open cuts to Stream B have been avoided by using a jack -and -bore directional drilling
operation.
Compensatory Mitigation
The relocation and replacement of an existing 12"/10"/8" clay sewer pipe will have minimal
impacts to waters of the U.S. Permanent impacts to 0.03 acre of Wetland A will be off -set by the
abandonment of a 0.03 acre portion of the existing sewer easement, which will no longer be
maintained and will be allowed to undergo natural succession to a forested wetland.
Compensatory mitigation requirements are not anticipated.
Stormwater Management Plan
The relocation and replacement of an existing 12"/10"/8" clay sewer pipe will not require a
stormwater management plan. No additional impervious surfaces are proposed.
Cultural Resources
The North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources was contacted regarding
historic resources within and near the project study area. An evaluation of the project through
the State Historic Preservation Office was requested. The State Historic Preservation Office
conducted a review of the project and stated that they were aware of no historic resources
which would be affected by the project (See Attachment E — Agency Correspondence).
Protected Species
STV conducted a protected species habitat assessment on February 7 and 9, 2017 and on
October 13, 2017. Prior to the field reviews, STV reviewed the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) and North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) databases, which provided
existing data concerning the potential occurrence of federally and state protected (threatened or
endangered) species in Mecklenburg County. These databases indicate that there are six
federal and state endangered species that may occur in Mecklenburg County. These protected
species and their physical descriptions and habitat requirements are described below.

Northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) - Federal/State Threatened
The northern long-eared bat (NLEB) is a medium-sized bat about three to 3.7 inches in length,
but with a wingspan of nine to 10 inches. As its name suggests, this bat is distinguished by its
long ears, particularly as compared to other bats in its genus, Myotis, which are actually bats
noted for their small ears (Myotis means mouse -eared). The northern long-eared bat is found
across much of the eastern and north central United States and all Canadian provinces from the
Atlantic coast west to the southern Northwest Territories and eastern British Columbia. The
species' range includes 37 states. In North Carolina, the northern long-eared bat occurs in the
mountains, with scattered records in the piedmont and coastal plain. In western North Carolina,
NLEB spend winter hibernating in caves and mines. Since this species is not known to be a
long-distance migrant, and caves and subterranean mines are extremely rare in eastern North
Carolina, it is uncertain whether or where NLEB hibernate in eastern North Carolina. During the
summer, NLEB roost singly or in colonies underneath bark, in cavities, or in crevices of both live
and dead trees (typically >_ three inches dbh). Males and non -reproductive females may also
roost in cooler places, like caves and mines. This bat has also been found, rarely, roosting in
structures like barns and sheds, under eaves of buildings, behind window shutters, in bridges,
and in bat houses. Foraging occurs on forested hillsides and ridges, and occasionally over
forest clearings, over water, and along tree -lined corridors. Mature forests may be an important
habitat type for foraging.
The final 4(d) rule for the NLEB went into effect February 16, 2016. Within the range of the
NLEB in N.C., take in their hibernacula is prohibited, including any action that may change the
nature of the hibernaculum's environment or entrance to it. Outside of their hibernacula, this rule
exempts take of this species for any tree -cutting activity that occurs more than 0.25 -mile from a
known hibernation site or more than 150 feet from a known maternity roost during the pup -
rearing season (June 1 through July 31).
Based on a review of the USFWS Asheville Field Office's website on April 19, 2017,
Mecklenburg County, including the project study area, does not contain any known hibernation
or maternity sites. No caves or mines (potential hibernacula) exist in the project study area
(PSA), and there are few potential roosting trees present. Limited blasting of rock within the
proposed sewer easement is proposed which will produce percussive impacts, but blast
velocities have been reduced to protect nearby structures. A review of NCNHP records
conducted on April 27, 2017 revealed that there are no known occurrences of this species within
the PSA or within one mile of the PSA. Based on the field review and the available databases,
it is determined that this project 'may affect, not likely to adversely affect' NLEB. Based on the
best available information and due diligence performed, this project qualifies for the exemption
from the incidental take prohibition under the final 4(d) rule and Section 7 responsibilities have
been fulfilled for the NLEB. In these circumstances the USFWS has promulgated a number of
recommended conservation measures to protect NLEB, including the following: conducting tree
removal activities outside of NLEB pup season (June 1 to July 31) and/or the active season
(April 1 to October 31); and minimizing the use of herbicides and pesticides. Charlotte Water will
consider the USFWS recommended conservation measures when feasible and practicable.

Carolina heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorata) - Federal/State Endangered
The Carolina heelsplitter has an ovate, trapezoid shaped shell. The outer surface of this mussel
species' shell is yellowish, greenish, or brownish with greenish, blackish rays. The inner shell
ranges from iridescent to mottled pale orange. The average size of the Carolina heelsplitter is
Page 9

Charlotte Water - Little Sugar Creek Tributary to Fairview Road Sanitary December 22, 2017
Sewer Improvements Project — Request for NWP #12
78 millimeters (mm). The Carolina heelsplitter is found in small to large streams and rivers as
well as ponds over a variety of substrates usually near stable, well -shaded stream banks. Most
individuals are found in undercuts and along shaded banks stabilized with extensive tree roots,
a buried log, or rocks. The Carolina heelsplitter requires waterways with well oxygenated clean
water. Pursuant to the USFWS Carolina Heelsplitter 5 -Year Review: Summary and Evaluation
2012, eleven populations of this mussel are presently known to exist, three of which occur within
North Carolina. Two small remnant populations occur in the Catawba River system; one
population occurs in Waxhaw Creek in Union County, and one population occurs in Sixmile
Creek in Union County. Another small population occurs in a short stretch of Goose Creek, a
tributary to the Rocky River in the Pee Dee River system, also in Union County.
Potential habitat does not exist within the reach of any of the project study area perennial
streams, or Little Sugar Creek, located within the project study area. Potential habitat
characteristics such as undercut shaded banks with extensive root systems and buried logs and
rocks within the channel were not observed in the stream. There are historial records of
Carolina heelsplitter being located in the Charlotte East, NC USGS quadrangle. The NC Natural
Heritage Program (NCNHP) website was reviewed in April 2017 to determine the locations of
the nearest populations of Carolina heelsplitter. The NCNHP determined that no populations of
Carolina heelsplitter were present within one mile of the project study area. Although an aquatic
survey was not performed, based on the field review, the available databases and the lack of
potential habitat, it is determined that this project will have 'no effect' on the Carolina
heelsplitter.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
Rusty Patched bumble bee (Bombus affinis) — Federal/State Endangered
Rusty patched bumble bees live in colonies that include a single queen and female workers.
The colony produces males and new queens in late summer. Queens are the largest bees in
the colony, and workers are the smallest. All rusty patched bumble bees have entirely black
heads, but only workers and males have a rusty reddish patch centrally located on the back.
Rusty -patched bumble bees once occupied grasslands and tallgrass prairies of the upper
midwest and northeast, but most grasslands and prairies have been lost, degraded, or
fragmented by conversion to other uses. Bumble bees need areas that provide nectar and
pollen from flowers, nesting sites (underground and abandoned rodent cavities or clumps of
grasses), and overwintering sites for hibernating queens (undisturbed soil).
Potential habitat does not exist within the project study area. There are limited areas of
grasslands within the project study area. There are historical records of rusty -patched bumble
bee being located in Mecklenburg County, but no records of rusty -patched bumble bee in the
Charlotte East, NC USGS topographic quadrangle. The NCNHP website was reviewed
(November 22, 2017) to determine the locations of the nearest populations of rusty -patched
bumble bee. The NCNHP determined that no populations of rusty -patched bumble bee were
present within one mile of the project study area, and no effect to rusty -patched bumble bee is
anticipated.
Biological conclusion: No Effect
Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxii) — Federal Endangered
Michaux's sumac is a rhizomatous, densely hairy shrub, with erect stems from one to three feet
in height. The compound leaves contain evenly serrated, oblong to lanceolate, acuminate
leaflets. Most plants are unisexual; however, more recent observations have revealed plants
with both male and female flowers on one plant. The flowers are small, borne in a terminal,
Page 10

Charlotte Water - Little Sugar Creek Tributary to Fairview Road Sanitary December 22, 2017
Sewer Improvements Project — Request for NWP #12
erect, dense cluster, and colored greenish yellow to white. Flowering usually occurs from June
to July; while the fruit, a red drupe, is produced through the months of August to October.
Michaux's sumac grows in sandy or rocky open woods in association with basic soils.
Apparently, this plant survives best in areas where some form of disturbance has provided an
open area. This plant is restricted to eleven counties in North Carolina, and is listed as current in
Mecklenburg County.
No individuals of Michaux's sumac were observed within the PSA during the February or
October field reviews, and the October review was conducted inside the flowering season. The
PSA exhibits some habitat requirements preferred by this species, but there are no known
populations within one mile of the PSA. Michaux's sumac is not listed as present within the
Charlotte East, NC USGS quadrangles. The NCNHP determined that no populations of
Michaux's sumac were present within one mile of the project study area. Based on the field
review inside the flowering season, and the available databases, it is determined that this
project will have 'no effect' on Michaux's sumac.
Bioloaical Conclusion: No Effect
Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzh) - Federal/State Endangered
Schweinitz's sunflower is a perennial herbaceous plant limited to the Piedmont counties of North
and South Carolina. The plant grows from one to two meters tall from a cluster of tuberous
roots. The sunflower consists of a flower with a yellow disk and ray flowers formed on small
heads. The disc is less than 1.5 centimeter (cm) across and the petals are two to three cm
long. The lanceolate leaves are opposite on the lower stem and alternate near the flowers. The
typical habitat for this plant includes roadsides, old pastures, transmission line rights-of-way
(R/Ws), open areas, and edges of upland woods. Periodically maintained R/Ws are typically
considered good potential habitat for the Schweinitz's sunflower. Major characteristics of soils
associated with suitable Schweinitz's sunflower habitat include thin soils, soils on upland
interstream flats or gentle slopes, those which are clayey in texture (and often with substantial
rock fragments), those which have a high shrink -swell capacity, and those which vary over the
course of the year from very wet to very dry. Flowering occurs from August to the first frost of
the year.
No individuals of Schweinitz's sunflower were observed within the project study area and the
area was reviewed during the flowering season. There are no records of Schweinitz's sunflower
being located in the Charlotte East, NC USGS quadrangles. The NC Natural Heritage Program
(NCNHP) website was reviewed in April 2017 to determine the locations of the nearest
populations of Schweinitz's sunflower. The NCNHP determined that no populations of
Schweinitz's sunflower were present within one mile of the project study area. The project study
area has some of the proper habitat requirements preferred by this species, but there are no
known populations within the proximity of the project study area, so it is unlikely that
Schweinitz's sunflower would be found within the project study area. Based on the field review
and the available databases, it is determined that this project will have 'no effect' on
Schweinitz's sunflower.
Bioloaical Conclusion: No Effect
Smooth Coneflower (Echinacea /aevigata) - Federal/State Endangered
The smooth coneflower grows up to 1.5 meters tall and contains large (approximately 20 cm in
length and 7.5 cm in width) basal leaves. The stem of the plant is smooth with few leaves. The
flower consists of rays that are light pink to purplish, usually drooping and are five to eight cm
long (USFWS, 2005). This perennial plant generally occurs in basic to circumneutral soils of
Page 11

Charlotte Water - Little Sugar Creek Tributary to Fairview Road Sanitary December 22, 2017
Sewer Improvements Project — Request for NWP #12
meadows and woodlands. The plant, which typically blooms in June, has been found growing in
habitats that include upland oak -hickory or mixed oak -pine forests, old field habitat, transmission
line R/Ws, and roadsides. Smooth coneflower is an associate of the Piedmont Prairie
community type, often found growing with populations of Schweinitz's sunflower. This plant is
listed as a current record for Mecklenburg County, and there is one documented population
located approximately 12 miles northwest of Charlotte.
No individuals of smooth coneflower were observed within the project study area and the area
was reviewed during the flowering season. There are no records of smooth coneflower being
located in the Charlotte East, NC USGS quadrangles. The NC Natural Heritage Program
(NCNHP) website was reviewed in April 2017 to determine the locations of the nearest
populations of smooth coneflower. The NCNHP determined that no populations of smooth
coneflower were present within one mile of the project study area. The project study area has
some of the proper habitat requirements preferred by this species, but there are no known
populations within the proximity of the project study area, so it is unlikely that smooth coneflower
would be found within the project study area. Based on the field review and the available
databases, it is determined that this project will have 'no effect' on smooth coneflower.
Biological Conclusion: No Effect
The USFWS and the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program were contacted regarding
threatened and endangered species within and near the project study area. An evaluation of the
project was requested. The USFWS and NCNHP conducted a review of the project and stated
that they were aware of no threatened or endangered species within or near the project (See

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Due to the nature of the project and the location of the existing 12'110'/8" clay sewer pipe, avoiding the temporary impacts to Stream B and Stream I,
and the permanent impacts to Wetland A is not possible. The existing location of the sanitary sewer easement and the need to tie into the existing
sewer pipe at Wetland A is a project requirement. The open cut impact areas to Stream B have been minimized to the greatest extent practicable.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Three areas of potential open cuts to Stream B have been avoided by using a jack -and -bore directional drilling operation. See cover letter for
additional details on avoidance and minimization.

Charlotte, North Carolina 28202-1144
Dear Mr. Phillips:
Subject: Little Sugar Creek Sanitary Sewer Improvements, Charlotte, Mecklenburg County,
North Carolina
We received your letter dated April 19, 2017 (received on April 24, 2017), in which you
requested our comments on the subject project. The following comments are provided in
accordance with the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C.§ 4321
et seq.); Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 661-667e); Migratory Bird
Treaty Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 703); and section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973,
as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543) (Act).
According to your letter, Charlotte Water is proposing the relocation and replacement of an
existing 12"/10"/8" clay sewer pipe installed in the 1960's that is deteriorating and undersized
for the rapid growth in the South Park Area. The western section of the proposed sewer is
planned to follow an existing greenway gravel drive, cross ballfields (fill areas), and parallel
immediately adjacent to the existing sewer through Park Road Park. The middle portion of
the project will consist of replacing in place the existing sewer with trenchless pipe bursting
methods used in some areas through the residential neighborhood. The eastern portion of the
project is fully developed commercial business and parking areas. In this east area, the
proposed sewer will follow the existing alignment in parking areas. This project will be
approximately 7,400 linear feet, of which at least 2,000 linear feet will be replaced in place.
Existing sewers in the park will be taken out of service or rehabilitated if necessary to
minimize disturbance.
Federally Listed Endangered and Threatened Species - According to our records and a
review of the information you provided, no federally listed endangered or threatened species or
their habitats occur in the project area. 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.
Stream and Wetland Buffers — Because of the streams and wetlands in the project area, we
want to emphasize that stringent measures to control sediment and erosion should be
implemented prior to any ground disturbance and should be maintained throughout project
construction. Any stream impacts will require a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
One of the most important and effective measures that can be taken to protect stream health is
the preservation of riparian buffers. Wide, contiguous riparian buffers have greater and more
flexible potential than other options to maintain biological integrity' and can ameliorate many
ecological issues related to land use and environmental quality.2 Riparian buffers accomplish the
following:
1. catch and filter runoff, thereby preventing nonpoint-source pollutants from
reaching streams;
2. enhance the in -stream processing of both point- and nonpoint-source
pollutants;
3. act as "sponges" by absorbing runoff (which reduces the severity of floods)
and, by allowing runoff to infiltrate and recharge groundwater levels, maintain
stream flows during dry periods;
4. catch and help prevent excess woody debris from entering the stream and
creating logjams;
5. stabilize stream banks and maintain natural channel morphology;
6. provide coarse woody debris for habitat structure and most of the dissolved
organic carbon and other nutrients necessary for the aquatic food web; and
7. maintain air and water temperatures around the stream.
For most projects, we recommend the maintenance or establishment of minimum 100 -foot native
forested buffers along each side of perennial streams and 50 -foot native forested buffers along
each side of intermittent streams and wetlands throughout the project area.3 We additionally
encourage the implementation of buffers on ephemeral streams due to the important functions
they provide as headwater streams. 4, 5 Buffers should be measured horizontally from the edge of

3 For projects that potentially could affect waterways that contain federally listed species, the above -recommended
buffer widths should be doubled (100 feet for intermittent streams and 200 feet for perennial streams).

the stream bank,' which may result in wider buffers at higher gradients, and must be provided
over the entire length of the stream, including headwater streams, springs, and seeps.
Stream Crossings — Utilities - Your letter does not describe the stream -crossing techniques that
may be used for this project or if they will be needed. From experiences with similar projects,
we believe the open -trench technique increases the likelihood of future lateral movement of the
stream (which could undercut or erode around the water line), and the correction of these
problems could result in additional future maintenance and impacts to the stream. The best
option for utility placement design is to avoid or minimize the number of crossings needed. If a
crossing is required, we generally prefer the use of directional boring or clear -spanning structures
designed, at a minimum, to accommodate the active channel width (no piers below ordinary high
water). Rivers and streams are dynamic systems that migrate to seek stability while adjusting to
changes in the watershed. Properly sized spanning structures will provide for the passage of
aquatic species and will accommodate the movement of debris and bed material. Furthermore,
spanning structures usually (1) can be constructed with minimal in -stream impacts, (2) do not
require stream channel realignment, and (3) retain the natural streambed conditions; and the
horizontal and vertical clearances may be designed to allow for human and wildlife passage
beneath the structures.
Directional boring under streams significantly minimizes impacts to aquatic resources and
riparian buffers and does not require a 404 Clean Water Act permit. If this method cannot be
used and trenching is determined to be the only viable method, the crossing should be made
perpendicular to the stream flow, and we recommend the development of a
stream -bank -monitoring and -maintenance program that would allow for the prompt stabilization
of stream banks near the utility crossing (should any stream -bank erosion or destabilization
occur) throughout the life of this project.
Manholes or similar access structures should not be allowed within the previously described
riparian buffer areas. Stream crossings should be near perpendicular to stream flow and should
be monitored at least every 3 months for maintenance needs during the first 24 months of the
project and annually thereafter. Sewer lines associated with crossing areas should be maintained
and operated at all times to prevent discharges to land or surface waters. In circumstances where
minimum setbacks (stream buffers) cannot be attained, sewer lines shall be constructed of ductile
iron or a substance of equal durability.
Invasive Exotic Species - We are concerned about the introduction and spread of invasive exotic
species in association with the proposed project. Without active management, including the
revegetation of disturbed areas with native species, project corridors will likely be sources of
(and corridors for) the movement of invasive exotic plant species. Exotic species are a major
contributor to species depletion and extinction, second only to habitat loss. Exotics are a factor

contributing to the endangered or threatened status of more than 40 percent of the animals and
plants on the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants.' It is estimated
that at least 4,000 exotic plant species and 2,300 exotic animal species are now established in the
United States, costing more than $130 billion a year to control.' Additionally, the
U.S. Government has many programs and laws in place to combat invasive species (see
www.invasivespecies.gov). Specifically, Section 2(a)(3) of Executive Order 13112 - Invasive
Species (February 3, 1999) directs federal agencies to "not authorize, fund, or carry out actions
that it believes are likely to cause or promote the introduction or spread of invasive species in the
United States or elsewhere." Despite their short-term erosion -control benefits, many exotic
species used in soil stabilization seed mixes are persistent once they are established, thereby
preventing the reestablishment of native vegetation. Many of these exotic plants' are also
aggressive invaders of nearby natural areas, where they are capable of displacing
already -established native species. Therefore, we strongly recommend that only species native
to the natural communities within the project area be used in association with all aspects of this
project.

RE: Little Sugar Creek Tributary Sewer Improvement Project-, STV Engineers
Dear Brandon J. Phillips :
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide information
about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
A query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are records for rare species, important natural
communities, natural areas, or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. These
results are presented in the attached 'Documented Occurrences' tables and map.
The attached 'Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that have been
documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these records suggests that
these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area if suitable habitat exists and is
included for reference. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed area within a one -mile radius of the
project area, if any, are also included in this report.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation planning, project
review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria for regulatory decisions.
Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written notification to the
NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP
data may not be redistributed without permission.
Also please note that the NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a
Dedicated Nature Preserve (DNP), Registered Heritage Area (RHA), Clean Water Management Trust Fund
(CWMTF) easement, or an occurrence of a Federally -listed species is documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance, please
contact Rodney A. Butler at rodney.butlerQncdcr.gov or 919.707.8603.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program
