Project Background
The purpose of this project is to create a trail connection from the Cross-Charlotte (XCLT) Trail/Little
Sugar Creek Greenway to the 5.5-mile-long McMullen/McAlpine/Four Mile Creek Greenway system
which crosses South Charlotte, thereby expanding the trails connected to XCLT by almost seven
miles and connecting XCLT to thousands more users in South Charlotte (See Figure 6).

Specifically, the scope of this project will include a bridge from McMullen Creek Greenway just south
of I-485 over McMullen Creek to City owned property at the McAlpine Creek Waste Water Treatment
Plant and a path from there west across the property to Park Road. Finally, it will include a crossing
at Park Road to where the County will build the remainder of the South Charlotte Connector from
Park Rd to Little Sugar Creek Greenway/XCLT at the Polk Center at 12031 Lancaster Highway. The
County’s portion of the Connector is not a part of this project and is included in the County’s
extension of Little Sugar Creek Greenway from I-485 to the Polk Center, which is currently under
design and slated for construction in 2018.

The goal of this project is to create a comfortable and attractive connector between the two
greenways as described above. The following criteria shall be goals for the design of the connector:

 Comfort - Physical separation from motorized vehicular traffic to the maximum extent
possible within budget and physical constraints.
 Cross-section – Although this is a connector we believe it will be popular as a connection
between the two greenways as well as a connection to Carolina Place Mall from nearby
residential neighborhoods. Therefore, the connector will be a multi-use path with a minimum
width of 12 ft.
 Bicycle friendly - Meet design standards and criteria as recommended in the Cross-Charlotte
Trail Master Plan and as further determined through this planning and design process for this
project. Consider design guidelines found in NACTO’s Urban Bikeway Design Guide and
FHWA Separated Bike Lane Planning and Design Guide where applicable.

Existing Conditions
The Preliminary JD information reflects site conditions evaluated by Kimley-Horn staff (Chris
Tinklenberg, PWS) on March 3, 2016. The delineation was performed using a Trimble Geo7X sub-
meter GPS to locate wetland boundary flags, stream centerlines and data form locations.

North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) stream identification methodology was used to
identify potential non-wetland waters of the US. NCDWR Methodology for Identification of
Intermittent and Perennial Streams and Their Origins, Version 4.11 (NCDWR, September 2010)
stream forms were completed for each stream. NCDWR Stream Classification Forms representative
of Streams 1-3 are attached. Additionally, Wetland Determination Data Forms representative of on-
site Wetlands 1 and 2 are also attached. See Figure 4 for locations of the stream classification points
and the Wetland Determination Data Form locations.

The project area includes a maintained sanitary sewer easement throughout the entirety of the project
area and is bound by I-485 on the east and a water treatment plant, including some undeveloped
forested areas, to the west. Vegetation within and bordering the sanitary sewer easement consists of
fescue (Festuca spp.), sweetgum (Liquidampar styraciflua), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera),
Eastern cottonwood (Populus deltoides), sericea lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata), broomsedge
Page 3
kimley-horn.com 200 South Tryon Street, Suite 200, Charlotte, NC 28202 704-333-5131

bluestem (Andropogon virginicus), Eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana), Russian olive (Elaeagnus
angustifolia), wild onion (Allium canadense), and Bradford pear (Pyrus calleryana).

Jurisdictional Delineation Results
On-Site jurisdictional waters drain to and include McMullen Creek. McMullen Creek is part of the
Lower Catawba River Basin (HUC 03050103) and is classified as “Class C Waters” by the NCDWR.
According to the NCDWR, Class C Waters are defined as: “Waters protected for uses such as
secondary recreation, fishing, wildlife, fish consumption, aquatic life including propagation, survival
and maintenance of biological integrity, and agriculture.”

Potential Non-Wetland Waters of the US

The results of the on-site field investigation indicate that there are three potential non-wetland waters
of the US (Streams 1-3) located within the project area (Figure 3).

Stream 1 (McMullen Creek) originates offsite and drains approximately 17.5 square miles at the point
where the creek crosses the project area. Approximately 16 linear feet of Stream 1 is present within
the project area. Stream 1 exhibited evidence of strong continuity of channel bed and bank, particle
size of stream substrate, depositional bars or benches, recent alluvial deposits, evidence of organic
debris lines or piles. Stream characteristics indicate that continuous flow is present year-round in a
typical year. Stream 1 scored a 46 out of a possible 63 points on the NCDWR Stream Classification
Form.

Stream 2 originates at the outlet structure of an offsite impoundment and flows approximately 93
linear feet through the project area from west to east. Stream 2 is conveyed through the sanitary
sewer easement via an existing 15-foot, 18-inch ductile iron pipe. Stream 2 exhibited evidence of
moderate continuity of bed and bank, baseflow and in-channel structure. Other stream
characteristics include weak particle size of the stream substrate, depositional bars or benches and
organic debris lines or piles; however, soil-based evidence of a high-water table was observed. In-
stream aquatic organisms were not observed during biological sampling. Stream characteristics
indicate that flow is present at least seasonally in a typical year. Stream 2 scored a 25 out of a
possible 63 points on the NCDWR Stream Classification Form.

Stream 3 originates offsite and flows approximately 64 linear feet from west to east through the
project area. Stream 3 is conveyed through the sanitary sewer easement via 36-inch and 18-inch
ductile iron pipes which are 15-foot and 22-foot, respectively. Up and downstream of the crossing, the
stream exhibits evidence of strong continuity of channel bed and bank, strong in-channel structure,
strong particle size of stream substrate, and strong continuous baseflow. Stream 3 also exhibits
moderate evidence of depositional bars or benches, moderate evidence of recent alluvial deposits,
and moderate sinuosity. In-stream aquatic organisms were not observed during biological sampling.
Stream characteristics indicate that continuous flow is present year-round in a typical year. Stream 3
scored a 33 out of a possible 63 points on the NCDWR Stream Classification Form.

Potential Wetland Waters of the US

The results of the on-site field investigation indicate that there are two potential wetland waters of the
US located within the project area (Wetlands 1 and 2). Wetlands 1 and 2 are located within the
geomorphic floodplain of McMullen Creek and are geographically situated in the lower floodplain
elevations beyond the natural creek levee. Within the project area, Wetland 1 is 0.13-ac and Wetland
Page 4
kimley-horn.com 200 South Tryon Street, Suite 200, Charlotte, NC 28202 704-333-5131

2 is 0.03-ac; however, both wetland boundaries extend beyond the project boundary limits. Wetlands
1 and 2 are classified as bottomland hardwood forests and contain species such as sweet gum
(Liquidambar styraciflua), red maple (Acer rubrum), box elder (Acer negundo), eastern cottonwood
(Populus deltoides), black willow (Salix nigra), marsh marigold (Caltha palustris), marsh violet (Viola
cucullata), and multiple sedges (Carex spp.).

Agency Correspondence
Cultural Resources

Kimley-Horn consulted the SHPO online GIS service on May 10, 2018, and found no sites of
architectural, historic, or archaeological significance within the project corridor.

Protected Species

A data review was conducted using North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) Data Explorer
on May 10, 2018, to determine the presence of any federally-listed, candidate endangered,
threatened species, or critical habitat located within the project area. Based on the NCNHP review,
there are no records of federally-protected species within the project limits or within a mile of the
project site. A copy of the data review report is attached.

Proposed Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters
The overall project includes the construction of an approximately 1-mile long, 12-foot wide greenway
trail, including 5-foot wide shoulders. To facilitate the trail and associated shoulders, the existing
piped stream crossings at Streams 2 and 3 must be extended, therefore the existing ductile iron pipes
will be removed and replaced with reinforced concrete pipes. The existing 15 linear feet of 18-inch
ductile iron pipe at Stream 2 will be removed and replaced with 28 linear feet of 18-inch reinforced
concrete pipe resulting in 13 linear feet of permanent impacts to potential non-wetland waters of the
US. The existing 15 linear feet of 36-inch and 22 linear feet of 18-inch ductile iron pipes at Stream 3
will be removed and replaced with 32 linear feet of twin 24-inch reinforced concrete pipes resulting in
10 linear feet of permanent impacts to potential non-wetland waters of the US.

Culvert replacements/extensions have been reduced to the maximum extent practicable by
implementing taller headwalls and maximizing side slopes in order to minimize stream impacts,
resulting in 23 linear feet of permanent impacts to potential non-wetland waters of the US. 40
linear feet of temporary impacts potential non-wetland waters of the US are necessary in order
to install impervious dikes and a pumped diversion to allow for work in dry conditions. Due to the
small diameter culvert replacements, the culverts will be buried no less than 10% of the culvert
diameter in order to allow for aquatic passage of biotic resources.

Top-down boardwalk construction will be implemented to the maximum extent practicable to avoid
and minimize wetland impacts. A small landing will be constructed in order to transition to boardwalk
which will result in 0.009-acre of permanent impacts to potential wetland waters of the US. 0.07-
acre of temporary impacts to potential wetland waters of the US is necessary for crane access in
order to construct the bridge crossing over McMullen Creek. Temporary impacts will occur within the
proposed greenway footprint. Mud mats will be placed within wetlands in order to minimize soil
disturbance. Following construction of the bridge, mud mats will be removed and top-down
boardwalk will be constructed within the same footprint.

Compensatory Mitigation
23 stream credits will be purchased from the City of Charlotte’s Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank
for offsetting impacts associated with this project. Based on the current rate schedule of $502 per
linear foot, the project proposes mitigation payment in the amount of $11,546. A credit reservation
letter from the City bank sponsor is attached, indicating that the bank has credits available for
purchase and is willing to bare the mitigation responsibility for this project.

PCN Form – Version 1.3 December 10, 2008 Version

3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The purpose of this project is to create a trail connection from the Cross-Charlotte (XCLT) Trail/Little Sugar Creek
Greenway to the 5.5-mile-long McMullen/McAlpine/Four Mile Creek Greenway system which crosses South
Charlotte, thereby expanding the trails connected to XCLT by almost seven miles and connecting XCLT to
thousands more users in South Charlotte. The SCC segment includes the construction of <1 mile of 12-foot wide
greenway trail, including 5-foot wide shoulders, located from Park Road to McMullen Creek.

To facilitate the trail and associated shoulders, the existing piped stream crossings at Streams 2 and 3 must be
extended, therefore the existing ductile iron pipes will be removed and replaced with reinforced concrete pipes.
The existing 15 linear feet of 18-inch ductile iron pipe at Stream 2 will be removed and replaced with 28 linear feet
of 18-inch reinforced concrete pipe resulting in 13 linear feet of permanent impacts to potential non-wetland waters
of the US. The existing 15 linear feet of 36-inch and 22 linear feet of 18-inch ductile iron pipes at Stream 3 will be
removed and replaced with 32 linear feet of twin 24-inch reinforced concrete pipes resulting in 10 linear feet of
permanent impacts to potential non-wetland waters of the US.

Culvert replacements/extensions have been reduced to the maximum extent practicable by implementing taller headwalls
and maximizing side slopes in order to minimize stream impacts, resulting in 23 linear feet of permanent impacts to
potential non-wetland waters of the US. 40 linear feet of temporary impacts potential non-wetland waters of the
US are necessary in order to install impervious dikes and a pumped diversion to allow for work in dry conditions. Due to
the small diameter culvert replacements, the culverts will be buried no less than 10% of the culvert diameter in order to
allow for aquatic passage of biotic resources.

Top-down boardwalk construction will be implemented to the maximum extent practicable to avoid and minimize wetland
impacts. A small landing will be constructed in order to transition to boardwalk which will result in 0.009-acre of
permanent impacts to potential wetland waters of the US. 0.07-acre of temporary impacts to potential wetland
waters of the US is necessary for crane access in order to construct the bridge crossing over McMullen Creek.
Temporary impacts will occur within the proposed greenway footprint. Mud mats will be placed within wetlands in order to
minimize soil disturbance. Following construction of the bridge, mud mats will be removed and top-down boardwalk will
be constructed within the same footprint.

Temporary impacts have been minimized to the greatest extent practicable in order to meet the needs of the project and

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1.Avoidance and Minimization
1a.Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Avoidance and minimization efforts for the greenway include the avoidance of wetland impacts by constructing boardwalk over
wetland areas to avoid net increases in base flood elevations. Culvert replacements/extensions have been reduced to the
maximum extent practicable by implementing taller headwalls and maximizing side slopes in order to minimize stream impacts
1b.Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Temporary impacts have been minimized to the greatest extent practicable in order to meet the needs of the project and do
not pose adverse alterations to the existing channel bed. Erosion control measures and mud mats implemented during
construction of the greenway will be removed immediately following the activity and any disturbance will be returned to
preconstruction conditions.

3c. Comments: Headwaters of on-site streams, historically, were likely altered by the construction of the water treatment
facility which has resulted in degradation and manipulation of channel morphology and hydrology. Clearing and maintenance
of vegetation within the utility easement has also degraded the habitat potential and overall quality and function of on-site
streams.

Is the Sampled Area
Wetland 1 & 2 are bottomland hardwood forest wetlands located within the geomorphic flooplain of McMullen Creek. Hydrology is likely permanently
saturated to semi-permanently inundated throughout the wetland areas. Overbank flooding as well as a number of stormwater outfalls are the primary
influences of hydrology. Hydrophytic vegetation typical of a bottomland hardwood forest and hyrdric soils are present, therefore the sampled area is
within a wetland.

Is the Sampled Area
The upland sampling point is located within the alluvial areas immediately adjacent to McMullen Creek and approximately 1'-2' higher in elevation than
the wetland sampling location. A shift in dominant canopy species from sweet gum and red maple to tulip poplar and American beech is evident.
Evidence of hydrology and hydric soils are absent, therefore the sampled area is upland.

Jurisdictional Determination Request
Version: May 2017
Page 4

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 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 terms 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 terms
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:

RE: SCC
Dear Addie Lasitter:
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. If a Federally-listed species
is documented within the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) for guidance (https://www.fws.gov/offices/Directory/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37).
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. Tables of
natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one-mile radius of the project area, if any, are also
included in this report If a Federally-listed species is documented in the “Potential Occurrences” the NCNHP
recommends contacting the USFWS for guidance
(https://www.fws.gov/offices/Directory/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37).
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 [e-mail] or 919-707-8603.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program

No Element Occurrences are Documented within the Project Area
There are no documented element occurrences (of medium to very high accuracy) that intersect with the project area. Please note, however, that although the NCNHP database
does not show records for rare species within 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 if needed, particularly if the project area contains suitable habitat for rare species. If rare
species are found, the NCNHP would appreciate receiving this information so that we may update our database.
