Subject: Farmington CIP Sewer Trunk Line project; Jurisdictional Determination and
Nationwide Permit # 12 Request, Charlotte, Mecklenburg County.
Mses. Janiczak and Higgins and Messrs. Johnson, and Hamstead,
Enclosed is a request for a Jurisdictional Determination and a Nationwide Permit # 12 for the
approximate 3.23-acre site known as the Farmington CIP Sewer Trunk Line project located on
the north side of Rocky River Road and immediately adjacent to I-485. The proposed project
involves the construction of a sewer trunk installation required to service the proposed
Farmington mixed-use development (commercial and residential) project (SAW-2018-01705).
A preliminary jurisdictional determination request is included as part of this permit application
and is associated with the trunk line located on the west side of I-485. A portion of the project is
also located on the east side of I-485; however, the parcels located east of I-485, associated with
this project, have already been verified by the USACE as part of the Farmington mixed-use
2
development. Please refer to SAW-2014-01152 for the previous verification and the attached
Jurisdictional Determination section for information on site surface waters west of I-485.
As shown on the attached exhibits, the proposed project will include temporary impacts to seven
wetland areas (Wetlands A/AA, B, C, D, DD, T & L) and two streams (Streams H and K).
Impacts to site surface waters associated with the proposed development were limited through
location/orientation of the proposed trunk line and minimizing the temporary and permanent
access widths of the proposed working corridors. Total temporary impacts proposed are to 0.055
acres of wetlands and to 80 linear feet of stream channel. Temporary stream impacts will be
restored as indicated in the included Stream Bank Stabilization Detail. To compensate for the
proposed wetland impacts along the corridor, each wetland crossing will require the following:
The top 6 to 12 inches of topsoil will be placed on fabric and replaced upon completion
The temporary construction corridor will be reestablished with native species and
replanted at 260 stems per acre within the wooded corridor
The permanent maintenance easement will be reseeded with native stabilization mix
Anti-seep collars will be installed per state standards on the downstream side of the
wetland impact
Also enclosed is a copy of our Threatened/Endangered Species Evaluation for the site. No listed
species were identified within the project area and we believe that there will be no effect on
listed species or their critical habitat as designated under Section 7 of the Endangered Species
Act. Please refer to the Threatened and Endangered Species Evaluation Section for additional
details on the terrestrial species evaluation. Thank you for your consideration and please contact
me if you have any questions, [phone] or email at [e-mail].
Sincerely,
Heath Caldwell, PWS Len Rindner, PWS

Approved1 Jurisdictional Determination (AJD)
Preliminary2 Jurisdictional Determination (PJD)
I am uncertain and request and require additional information to inform my decision
1Approved – An AJD is defined in Corps regulations at 33 CFR 331.2. As explained in further detail in RGL 16-01, an AJD is used to indicate that this
office has identified the presence or absence of wetlands and/or other aquatic resources on a site, including their accurate location(s) and boundaries,
as well as their jurisdictional status. AJDs are valid for 5 years.
2Preliminary – A PJD is defined in Corps regulations at 33 CFR 331.2. As explained in further detail in RGL 16-01, a PJD is used to indicate that this
office has identified the approximate location(s) and boundaries of wetlands and/or other aquatic resources on a site that are presumed to be subject
to regulatory jurisdiction of the Corps of Engineers. Unlike an AJD, a PJD does not represent a definitive, official determination that there are, or that
there are not, jurisdictional aquatic resources on a site, and does not have an expiration date.

Action Id.: SAW-2014-01152
Placement of dredged or fill material within waters of the US and/or wetlands without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC § 1311). If you have any questions regarding this
determination and/or the Corps regulatory program, please contact William Elliott at 828-271-7980.
C. Basis For Determination
The site contains wetlands as determined by the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual and the Interim
Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual: Eastern Mountain and Piedmont Region. These
wetlands are adjacent to stream channels located on the property that exhibit indicators of ordinary high water marks. The
stream channel on the property is known as a tributary to Fuda Creek which flows into the Rocky River. The Rocky Flows to
the Upper Pee Dee River. Yadkin River joins the Uwharrie River to form the Pee -Dee River. Pee Dee River enters
the Atlantic Ocean through Winyah Bay in South Carolina. So drainages in Iredell, Rowan, and Wilkes drain to
Yadkin River (before it's confluence with Uwharrie River). Drainages in Cabarrus, Mecklenburg, Stanley, and
Union drain to Pee -Dee River.
D. Remarks: Jurisdictional "Waters of the US" have been identified on this property as depicted
by submitted Jurisdictional Request Package on file.
E. Attention USDA Program Participants
