Executive Summary
The Charette Court Stream Enhancement Project is located in Charlotte, North Carolina,
approximately 0.75 miles east of the Robinson Church Road - Harris Boulevard intersection.
(Attachment A - Figures 1 and 2) The purpose of this project is to control severe erosion and
prevent further loss of property within an existing residential area. Charlotte Storm Water
Services (CSWS) has contracted Carolina Wetland Services, Inc. (CWS) to provide permitting
services for this project.
The results of the on-site field investigation conducted by CWS indicate that there are two
jurisdictional stream channels (Streams A and B) located within the project limits. CSWS is
requesting written verification of the jurisdictional determination of the on-site jurisdictional
features. The proposed project will enhance approximately 220 linear feet of Stream A through
bioengineering (Attachment A - Figure 5). Permanent impacts associated with this project total
approximately 10 linear feet of Perennial Stream A and 10 linear feet of Unimportant
Intermittent Stream B (Attachment A - Figure 4a). On behalf of CSWS, CWS is submitting a
Pre-Construction Notification application with attachments in accordance with the requirements
of Water Quality Certification No. 3553.

Existing Conditions
The Charette Court Stream Enhancement Project is located in Charlotte, North Carolina,
approximately 0.75 miles east of the Robinson Church Road - Harris Boulevard intersection
(Attachment A - Figures 1 and 2). The purpose of this project is to control severe erosion and
prevent further loss of property within an existing residential area. Charlotte Storm Water
Services (CSWS) has contracted Carolina Wetland Services, Inc. (CWS) to provide permitting
services for this project. The following sections describe the existing conditions of the project
area.
Current Land Use
The current land use for the project area is residential and is generally comprised of maintained
lawn areas and small wooded areas. Dominant vegetation includes red maple (Acer rubrum),
sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), red mulberry (Morus rubra), tulip poplar (Liriodendron
tulipifera), and Kentucky bluegrass (Festuca arundinacea). According to the Soil Survey of
Mecklenburg County, on-site soils consist of Pacolet sandy loam, 15 to 25 percent slopes (PaE) and
Monacan (MO) (Attachment A - Figure 2). Pacolet sandy loam is well drained, moderately
permeable, and has a low water capacity. Monacan is poorly drained, moderately permeable, has a
high water capacity, and is listed on the Mecklenburg County hydric soils list as having hydric
inclusions.
Jurisdictional Delineation
On June 3, 2003, CWS's Ron Johnson and Kip Kerecman investigated on-site jurisdictional waters
of the U.S.' using the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) - Routine On-site Determination
Method. This method is defined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual 2
No Wetland areas were identified within the project limits. A Routine On-Site Data Form
representative of on-site non jurisdictional upland areas has been included as Attachment B.
Jurisdictional waters of the U.S. were classified according to recent North Carolina Division of
Water Quality (NCDWQ)3 and USACE guidance. NCDWQ Stream Classification and USACE
Intermittent Channel Evaluation Forms for Streams A and B have been included as Attachments C
and D.
' "Jurisdictional waters of the U.S." includes essentially all surface waters such as: all navigable waters and their tributaries, all
interstate waters and their tributaries, all wetlands adjacent to these waters, and all impoundments of these waters.

The results of the on-site field investigation indicate that there are two jurisdictional stream
channels (Streams A and B) located within the project limits (Attachment A - Figure 3). Streams A
and B are unnamed tributaries to Reedy Creek. Reedy Creek is part of the Yadkin River basin
W4 03040105)' and is classified as "Class C" waters by the NCDWQ. CSWS is requesting
written verification of the jurisdictional determination of the on-site jurisdictional features
(Attachment E).
Stream A flows north behind the residences at 6846 and 6843 Charette Court for approximately
250 linear feet (Attachment A - Figure 3). Stream A was evaluated to be Perennial and exhibits
a continuous bed and bank, moderate sinuosity, and substrate consisting of silt to large cobble.
This stream had strong, persistent flow with an average ordinary high water width of six to eight
feet. Biological sampling within Stream A resulted in a weak presence of benthic
macroinvertabrates and a strong presence of amphibians (salamanders)
(Attachments C and D - SCP1). Perennial Stream A scored 38 out of a possible 71 points on the
NCDWQ Stream Classification Form. Photographs of of Stream A have been included as
Attachment E - Photographs A and B.
feet. Stream B was evaluated to be Unimportant Intermittent, exhibited continuous bed and
Stream B flows east behind the residence at 6843 Charette Court for approximately 75 linear
bank, weak sinuosity, and substrate consisting of coarse sand to gravel. This stream exhibited no
flow at the time of the field investigation. Unimportant Intermittent Stream B scored 18 out of a
possible 71 points on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form (Attachments C and D - SCP 2).
The upper reach of Stream B can be described as non jurisdictional. This section exhibits no
sinuosity, lack of flow at the time of investigation, and rooted vegetation in the stream bed.
Agency Correspondence
Cultural Resources
A letter was forwarded to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on July 10, 2003 to
determine the presence of any areas of architectural, historic, archaeological significance that
would be affected by the project. To date, no response has been received from the SHPO.

Protected Species
A letter was forwarded to the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) on
July 10, 2003 to determine the presence of any federally-listed or candidate endangered or
threatened species or critical habitat located within the project area. To date, no response has
been received from the NCNHP.
Purpose and Need for the Project
Stream A conveys a large volume of water during high flow events. These events are causing
severe erosional damage to the stream bank within the project area and are resulting in the loss of
property. The purpose of this project is to stabilize the stream bank along these properties in
order to control erosion and to prevent further property loss at 6846 and 6843 Charette Court.
Avoidance and Minimization
Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent
practicable. The project design has also limited the amount of hard stabilization to the minimal
length to provide grade control and to limit channel down cutting. A portion of the stream will be
enhanced using bio-engineering techniques as a substitute for hard stabilization. Proper sediment
and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to downstream waters.
Proposed Improvements to jurisdictional Waters
Proposed Improvements to Stream A include enhancement of 220 linear feet of channel by live
staking with native species. 75 linear feet of erosion control matting will also be installed along
Stream B. To maintain channel bed elevations grade breaks will be installed in Stream A and
Stream B. Permanent impacts will total approximately 10 linear feet of Perennial Stream A and 10
linear feet of Unimportant Intermittent Stream B. Activities will include the installation of two 10-
foot sections of gabion wall as grade breaks on both streams (Attachment A - Figures 4a and 4b).
On behalf of CSWS, CWS is submitting a Pre-Construction Notification application with
attachments in accordance with Water Quality Certification No. 3353 (Attachment G).

List each impact separately and identify temporary impacts. Impacts include, but are not limited to: culverts and associated rip-rap,
dams (separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding), relocation (include linear feet before and after, and net loss/gain),
stabilization activities (cement wall, rip-rap, crib wall, gabions, etc.), excavation, ditching/straightening, etc. If stream relocation is
proposed, plans and profiles showing the linear footprint for both the original and relocated streams must be included.
' ** Stream names can be found on USGS topographic maps. If a stream has no name, list as UT (unnamed tributary) to the nearest
downstream named stream into which it flows. USGS maps are available through the USGS at 1-800-358-9616, or online at

local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A
' Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A
Expected pond surface area: N/A
' VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent
' practicable. The project design has also limited the amount of hard stabilization to the
minimal length to provide grade control and to limit channel down cutting. A portion of the
stream will be enhanced using bio-engineerin techniques echniques as a substitute for hard stabilization.
Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to
downstream waters.

' Page 4 of 7

' VIII. Mitigation
This project is being designed to improve stream habitat and water quality by eliminating sources
of sediment from bank erosion. CSWS is proposing the enhancement of 220 linear feet of
' stream bank through the use of bioengineering techniques. (Attachment A - Figure 5). The plan
proposes live staking with native shrub species to provide shading and bank stabilization.
' The goal of this project is to improve the aquatic environment.
1. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
' Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
' will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
