600 East Fourth, 14th floor
Charlotte, NC 28202
Subject Property: Hickory Grove Road Widening
Dear Mr. Karl:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to impact 82 feet of perennial
stream for the purpose of widening a road as you described in your application dated July 22, 2003.
After reviewing your application, we hAve decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality
Certification Number 3404, which may be viewed on our website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. This certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number
14 when the Corps of Engineers issues it. In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local
permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion
Control, Coastal Stormwater, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This approval
will expire when the accompanying 404 or CAMA permit expires unless otherwise specified in the
General Certification.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application except as
modified below. If you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a
new application. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and
approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland fills for
this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as
described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). This approval shall expire when the corresponding
Nationwide Permit expires or as otherwise provided in the General Certification. For this approval to
be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional
conditions listed below.

Page 11 of 12
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
IX.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetIands/strmgide.htmi.

Hi, it was good seeing you yesterday... it's been a while.
I know we've had this a while, but I've been a little behind...
Overall, This looks to be a good urban type design proposal.
Anyway:
1) Jeff, I found the typical cross section. I assume it is a pool.
Is there a typical riffle cross section? What will be the minimum
bench width? I would also like to have the proposed longitudinal
profile with thalweg, bankfull and top of bank.
2) The average stream slope is steeper than the valley slope, which
seems improbably. Also, all of the velocity and shear stress
equations were based on that slope.
3) Why do they need the coin logs on the "inner channel berm"?
4) Is the "inner channel berm" designed with anticipated aggradation
accounted for?
5) The root wad typical seems to imply that the root mass will be
completely above the stream bed. This is not the typical method of
installation.
6) Why is there rock toe protection in between the rock vanes?
Properly built rock vanes should act as bank protection.

there a typical riffle cross section? what will be the minimum bench

thalweg, bankfull and top of bank.
CM - We will provide a typical riffle cross section. Detailed survey data are still forthcoming which will allow finalizing of the proposed longitudinal profile, thalweg, bankfull and top of bank measurements.
2) The average stream slope is steeper than the valley slope, which
seems improbably. Also, all of the velocity and shear stress equations
were based on that slope.
cm- The 60% design estimates of valley and stream slope for Irwin Creek of Table 3 should have been those shown
calculated in Figure 3, (which were based on Meck. Co. Eng. topo.data). Thus the value for the Irwin Creek stream
grade should have been .00118.These values, along with final design riffle and pool grades will be adjusted slightly
once detailed survey control data has been incorporated into the final design.This work is underway, and a revised
version of Table 3 should be available in a few weeks.Velocity and shear stress equations will be adjusted
accordingly.
3) Why do they need the coin logs on the -inner channel berm'?
CM - The colr fiber logs are In place to keep the soil lens placed on top of the berm structures in place. Alternatively, a heavier grade of erosion control fabric can be used (pure coconut fiber) to provlde the long-term prole

Cross Section Notes
• Inner berms should restrict the low flow channel to 20-25 feet
in width.
• Inner berms should be into existing slope as close to a 6-foot
stage level as conditions permit. When lower tie-ins are used,
the berm should be brought up to 3 ft in height on 2:1 slope
and over to the bank edge tie-in slope point
• In inflection areas the 22-foot low flow channel width is
achieved by using a v-shaped (or tapered) cross vane at the
upper ends of cross vane - riffle zones; and in augmented riffle
zones by extending the leading and trailing edges of the
upstream and downstream inner berms.
• Where feasible, slopes steeper than 1.5:1 should be regraded,
with excess fill moved to inner berm, or spread back onto
floodplain.
• Both riffle and inner berm cross sections should maintain
approximatelly 390 - 420 square feet of cross section area at
the 9-foot stage.
• The riffle cross section has been prepared with a 15-degree
angle from perpendicular to the main channel banks. This
provides a perpendicular cross section view of the low flow
thalweg channel.
• Case 1 is used at locations where sufficient cross section area
allows to use a higher inner berm design.
• Case 2 is used at locations where flow cross section area
requires a lower inner berm design to comply with FEMA no-
rise criteria.

Dave,
You are the man! Thanks for helping us out on this project.
Here is a copy of my comments to Todd, as well as some updated information (see
attachments) that should clarify the issues Todd had related to comments #1 and #2. The
attachments include the new values for the longitudinal profile, a revised Rosgen table and
images of the longitudinal profile and cross-sections.
Please call me if you have any questions.

' Dear Ms. Jones:
' On behalf of the City of Charlotte and US Infrastructure of Carolina, Inc. (USI), enclosed please
find a completed Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) Joint Form (Attachment A) with
accompanying Jurisdictional Determination (JD) request package (Attachment B) for Nationwide
Permit (NWP) No. 14 for the above-referenced road widening project. USI has retained
MACTEC Engineering and Consulting, Inc. (MACTEC) to provide permitting services for this
' project. This PCN is being submitted to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in
accordance with the requirements of Nationwide Permit (NWP) No. 14 (Linear Transportation
' Crossings), since USACE Regional Condition 2e (culvert burial) cannot be practicably satisfied.
The City of Charlotte has proposed the Hickory Grove Road Widening Project in east Charlotte,
approximately six miles east of downtown Charlotte, North Carolina. This project is located in
the headwaters of the Campbell Creek watershed. The project corridor encompasses Hickory
Grove Road between Shamrock Drive and Palo Verde Lane, and adjacent areas north and south
of Hickory Grove Road itself (Attachment B, Figure 1). The project corridor extends through
established residential communities, including Hickory Grove to the north, Hickory Ridge to the
' east, and Saddle Point to the south.
In order to widen the existing roadway and meet current storm-water *sig r,§taadards, an
existing 72" reinforced concrete pipe (RCP), approximately 60 linear feet (it) in Ien 6 willf'b2d.

replaced by pair of 9'x5' precast concrete box culverts 142 If in length. Completion of this
activity will result in approximately 82 If of piping impacts to a perennial stream (Campbell t
Creek) below the ordinary high water mark. During project implementation, existing riprap inlet
and outlet aprons at the crossing location will also be replaced. This activity will be completed
pursuant to Nationwide Permit No. 14 - Linear Transportation Crossings. See Attachment C for
construction plan excerpts. '
Project Background I
Hickory Grove Road serves as an east-west thoroughfare in the eastern part of the City of '
Charlotte. This thoroughfare provides access to residential and commercial areas along Sharon
Amity Road and East W.T. Harris Boulevard. In addition, Hickory Grove Road is utilized by ,
Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) buses, and helps provide a connection between adjacent
residential areas and the uptown employment centers. Traffic analysis performed on this '
thoroughfare indicates that the existing two-lane road is over capacity. The proposed project will
involve widening of Hickory Grove Road to a four-lane facility between Shamrock Drive and
Highland Avenue. Designated bike lanes, aesthetic corridor landscaping, sidewalks with
planting strips, and curb/gutter storm drainage improvements will also be components of the
proposed project. As identified by the Charlotte Department of Transportation (CDOT), the
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Planning Commission (CMPC), and the Mecklenburg-Union County '
Metropolitan Planning Organization (MUMPO), the proposed improvements are designed to
reduce congestion, improve safety, and increase accessibility to economic centers along Hickory
Grove Road while retaining the suburban character of the roadway.

Review of the USGS topographic quadrangle (Mint Hill, NC, dated 1993; Figure 1) and the Soil
Survey of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina (map sheet 8 of 13, dated 1976), revealed that
Campbell Creek and a tributary to Campbell Creek cross Hickory Grove Road within the project
area. Based upon review of the List of Hydric Soils of Mecklenburg County, no mapped hydric
soils were identified within the project area. However, two mapped soil units, Monacan loam,
and Helena sandy loam, two to eight percent slopes, were identified adjacent to Campbell Creek
and its tributary within the project area, and in the eastern-most portion of the project area. Both
of these soil units typically have hydric soil inclusions and wet spots.
The National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) Map [U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), 1991]
indicates three ponds and one wetland north of Hickory Grove Road. The USFWS classifies the
ponds as palustrine, unconsolidated bottom, permanently flooded, diked/impounded (PUBHh)
features. The wetland (along an upstream reach of Campbell Creek) is classified as a palustrine,
forested, broad-leaved deciduous, temporarily flooded (PFO1 A) feature. The proposed project is
not anticipated to impact any of these areas. The NWI map (Mint Hill, NC, dated 1991) also
classifies Campbell Creek as a riverine system and as an excavated, permanently flooded, lower
perennial stream, with an unconsolidated bottom (R2UBHx). The NWI map does not identify a
tributary to Campbell Creek within the project area. No other evidence of NWI wetlands in the
project area was identified. Campbell Creek has been characterized as Class C waters by DWQ
(DWQ Index No. 11-137-9-1).
Preliminary stream assessment efforts in February 2001 indicated that Campbell Creek and the
Craigwood Drive tributary to Campbell Creek are perennial, jurisdictional stream channels
(Attachment B, Figure 2). These efforts utilized the USACE Intermittent Channel Evaluation
Form and the DWQ Stream Classification Form. The purpose of stream assessments is to
distinguish between non jurisdictional ephemeral streams, and jurisdictional intermittent and
perennial streams. Jurisdictional intermittent streams are subsequently categorized as either
,,aquatically important" or "aquatically unimportant." Those streams designated as perennial are
considered to be aquatically important by the USAGE and meet DWQ's definition of perennial
(i.e., confirmed presence of fish, crayfish, or shellfish). Representative photographs of stream
channels are included in Attachment B.

MACTEC Project 3010010123 1
Subsequent preliminary wetland determination efforts in April 2001 indicated no potential
wetlands within the project corridor (Attachment B, Figure 2). Wetland determination efforts
utilized the 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 the following three criteria:
• Hydrophytic vegetation (vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions)
• Wetland hydrology (inundation or saturation of soil at some time during the growing season)
• Hydric soils (soils possessing characteristics of reducing/anaerobic conditions).
Alternatives and Avoidance/Minimization
Taking into consideration the physical constraints of the project corridor, impacts to Campbell
Creek were determined to be unavoidable. Several alternatives were then considered, in an effort
to minimize potential impacts associated with the proposed Campbell Creek roadway crossing.
These included "no action," conventional piping, and bottomless culvert installation. I
A no-action alternative was considered for the proposed project. This approach would leave
Hickory Grove Road as a two-lane roadway and would not increase impacts to the stream
channel. This approach would not address the need for additional vehicular capacity, and could
encourage increased traffic congestion in the future. After consideration of community needs,
this option was excluded from further consideration.
Conventional piping of Campbell Creek beneath a widened Hickory Grove Road was also
considered. This approach would involve use of conventional reinforced concrete pipe (RCP), '
corrugated metal pipe (CMP), or reinforced concrete box culvert (RCBC) structures. This
approach would allow widening of the roadway to address community needs, and could be
implemented with minimal additional impact to the stream channel (approximately 82 if culvert
extension). '

MACTEC Project 3010010123
Installation of a pre-cast natural bottom culvert was also considered. This option could reduce
overall impacts to the streambed and would allow road widening, but would be limited by
existing utility lines (sewer and natural gas) and could conflict with project phasing. An existing
natural gas line limits culvert location, while an existing sewer line limits culvert depth.
Additionally, project phasing will require culvert installation in a 59-hour time period during one
weekend of construction (7pm Friday to 6am Monday). This time period would not likely allow
sufficient time to excavate, pour, and cure strip footings for a natural bottom culvert. The time
required to install a bottomless culvert at the proposed location could interfere with commuter
traffic, mass transit, emergency vehicle access for approximately five to seven days. After
consideration of these issues, this approach was excluded from further consideration.
After evaluation of potential environmental impacts, utility line constraints, project phasing
issues, community needs, and design requirements, the recommended alternative was determined
to be conventional piping with reinforced concrete box culverts. The proposed double 9'x5'
precast box culverts were then designed, in accordance with City standards, such that the
finished floor in the upstream house would not be flooded in a 100-year storm event. The
positioning of the culvert and depth of the proposed footing were based on the culvert's
proximity to a Piedmont Natural Gas 12" transmission line and an 8" sanitary sewer line,
respectively. The proposed culvert will be located such that the northern end wall footing will
encroach only two feet into the Piedmont Natural Gas right-of-way. The presence of the existing
8" sewer line will prevent culvert burial beneath the existing streambed.
It is anticipated that the minimal culvert extension (82 If) and accelerated construction schedule
will reduce overall project impacts. There should be no adverse impacts to the stream's
hydrologic or hydraulic performance as a result of the proposed culvert replacement effort.
Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters
The proposed project will impact approximately 82 If of perennial, jurisdictional stream channel.
An existing 601f culvert beneath Hickory Grove Road will be removed, and will be replaced by a
142 if double box culvert. The new culvert invert will be set at the existing streambed elevation.
Culvert burial is not an option at this location, due to the presence of other buried utility lines.
During construction, a low concrete baffle will be installed, in order to direct baseflow through a
5

MACTEC Project 3010010123 1
single box of the double-box culvert. This baffle will be constructed upstream of the culvert, but
has not been shown on the plan sheets included in this PCN document. I
Secondary and Cumulative Impacts I
The proposed road widening effort will be implemented in a portion of Charlotte that was largely
`built-out' 10-15 years ago. Water, sewer, and other infrastructure facilities have been present
along the existing roadway for many years, and the majority of nearby properties have been
previously built upon. While the proposed roadway widening project will provide increased
traffic capacity, potential secondary impacts should be minimal. Potential secondary air quality
impacts should be offset by current and future emissions regulations (both federal and local),
while potential land use change should be minimized by the presence of established residential
communities and re-zoning requirements. The widening of this existing roadway between and
through previously-developed areas is not anticipated to produce significant secondary or
cumulative impacts.
Mitigation I
As mitigation for the proposed 82 if of piping impacts, the City of Charlotte proposes 85 If of
stream enhancement (streambank stabilization and riparian buffer planting) along an impaired
reach of the Craigwood Tributary (near the Campbell Creek confluence, see Attachment B).
Degraded riparian vegetation and invasive species currently exist along this moderately incised
stream reach. Enhancement efforts will include a combination of streambank re-shaping (at 2:1
'
or 3:1 slopes), bioengineering stabilization, and additional riparian planting of native woody
species, in order to reduce streambank erosion, increase stream shading, and increase the
availability of woody material within the riparian zone. Trees and shrubs will be installed at a
density of approximately 400 seedlings/acre within a 50-foot riparian corridor along the stream
channel, and will be augmented by a native herbaceous seed mix. The seed mix alone will be
used along permanent utility easements, in order to minimize potential disturbance of buried '
utility lines from deep-rooting species. The proposed stream enhancement effort should increase
streambank stability (by increasing riparian root mass), should reduce thermal degradation (by '
shading the stream), should increase the availability of coarse particulate organic matter (CPOM)

for aquatic macroi n vertebrates, and should eventually contribute additional large woody debris
(LWD) to the stream system.
I Regulatory Implications
Nationwide and regional conditions for NWP No. 14 (except culvert burial) will be met by the
USI design and will be communicated to City of Charlotte contractors. The project design will
also comply with conditions of Section 401 General Certification (GC) for projects eligible for
NWP No. 14 (NCDENR DWQ Water Quality Certification 3375).

Appropriate sediment and erosion control practices, which equal or exceed those outlined in the
most recent version of the "North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design
Manual" will be utilized to prevent exceedances of the appropriate turbidity water quality
standard. Additionally, project sediment and erosion control measures placed in waters will be
removed and the natural grade restored after the Division of Land Resources or delegated local
program has released the project.
As part of its Surface Water Improvement and Management (SWIM) Program, the Mecklenburg
County Department of Environmental Protection (MCDEP) has established streamside buffers
for perennial waters throughout Mecklenburg County, to include the establishment of buffers
along Campbell Creek and many of its tributaries. At the Hickory Grove Road crossing,
Campbell Creek has a 50-foot SWIM buffer. During project implementation, efforts will be
made to minimize SWIM buffer impacts. Generally, SWIM buffer impacts from road crossings
for connectivity or transportation links do not require mitigation, if the Charlotte-Mecklenburg
Planning Commission has granted site plan approval (Section 12.806, 2a).
Cultural Resources and Protected Species
A letter dated January 11, 200 was forwarded to the North Carolina Department of Cultural
Resources (NCDCR) requesting information regarding potential archaeological and/or cultural
resource issues in the study area (Attachment D). A response letter dated February 24, 2000 was
subsequently received from the NCDCR (Attachment D), with comments regarding Carter's
Store and the Hickory Grove Methodist Church. Subsequent correspondence dated March 17,

2000 (Attachment D) noted that Carter's Store no longer exists at the noted NCDCR address
(6110 Hickory Grove Road), and that the proposed road widening project should affect only a t
small portion of the Hickory Grove Methodist Church lawn. No impacts are anticipated to the
structural building or to the church cemetery. As of the date of this PCN document, no
additional correspondence has been received from the NCDCR.
A letter requesting information, dated January 11, 2000, was also forwarded to the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS) to determine the presence of federally-listed or state-listed
endangered or threatened species, candidates proposed for listing as endangered or threatened
species, or of critical habitat in the proposed project permit area (Attachment E). A response
letter dated March 27, 2000 was received from the USFWS, with comments regarding the
proposed project (Attachment E). In response to USFWS comments, a protected species field
review was conducted on May 18, 2001. No individuals of Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus
schweinitzii), smooth coneflower (Echinacea laevigata), or Georgia aster (Aster georgianus)
were observed during the field review, nor were any members of the respective genera observed.
Documentation of this effort is included in Attachment E.
The following information is provided in response to specific comments provided in the March
27, 2000 USFWS letter:
1) Alternatives analysis - See previous "Alternatives and Avoidance/Minimization" section

8) Habitat loss, degradation, and/or fragmentation concerns - The proposed project will
impact approximately 82 If of existing perennial stream channel. At present, this stream
reach is incised (Rosgen G4/5), has only a minimal riparian buffer, and may have been
previously channelized.
9) Mitigation measures - Impacts have been avoided and minimized whenever practicable.
See previous "Mitigation" section of this PCN document for proposed stream mitigation
measures. Since no high-quality upland habitat should be impacted by the proposed
project, no terrestrial habitat mitigation is proposed. Since no wetland impacts are
anticipated, no wetland mitigation is proposed.
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) database was reviewed to evaluate the
potential occurrence of threatened or endangered species within Mecklenburg County, North
Carolina. This database indicated that there are seven federally and/or state endangered species
which may occur in Mecklenburg County, namely the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus),
Carolina heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorata), Georgia aster (Aster georgianus), tall larkspur
(Delphinium exaltatum), smooth coneflower (Echinacea laevigata), Schweinitz's sunflower
(Helianthus schweinitzii), and Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxii). The NCNHP was contacted
via facsimile on February 7, 2001 to determine the presence of any federally-listed or state-listed
or candidate endangered or threatened species or critical habitat within the permit area of the
proposed project. A response letter dated February 9, 2001 was received from the NCNHP,
noting "no record of rare species, significant natural communities, or priority natural areas at the
site nor within two miles of this site" (Attachment F).

State (North Carolina) Environmental Policy Act Documentation
According to a 1998 memorandum authored by Coleen Sullins (NCDENR DWQ) documenting
interim stream and wetland thresholds for DWQ review under the State Environmental Policy
Act (SEPA), projects disturbing a total of greater than 500 linear feet of perennial stream
channels require SEPA review. Since the proposed activities discussed in this PCN will not
disturb more than 500 linear feet of perennial stream channel with hard structure, these activities
do not fall within the SEPA review threshold and should not require preparation of an
Environmental Assessment (EA) and corresponding SEPA review.

regulation of wetlands and waters of the U.S.
The DWQ issues a corresponding Certification (General or Individual), and cannot tell the applicant
which 401 Certification will apply until the 404 Permit type has been determined by the USACE.
Applicants are encouraged to visit DWQ's 401 /Wetlands Unit website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands to read about current requirements for the 401 Water Quality
Certification Program and to determine whether or not Riparian Buffer Rules are applicable. The
applicant is also advised to read the full text of the General Certification (GC) matching the specific 404
Permit requested. In some cases, written approval for some General Certifications is not required,
provided that the applicant adheres to all conditions of the GC. Applicants lacking access to the internet
should contact DWQ's Central Office in Raleigh at (919) 733-1786.
Trout Waters Coordination - Special coordination with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC) is also required for projects occurring in any of North Carolina's twenty-five
counties that contain trout waters. In such cases, the applicant should contact the appropriate NCWRC
regional coordinator (listed by county on the last page of this application).
Page I of 14
CAMA Coordination - If the project occurs in any of North Carolina's twenty coastal counties (listed on
the last page of this application) the applicant should also contact the North Carolina Division of Coastal
Management (DCM) at (919) 733-2293. DCM will determine whether or not the project involves a
designated Area of Environmental Concern, in which case DCM will act as the lead permitting agency.
In such cases, DCM will require a Coastal Area Management Act (LAMA) Permit and will coordinate
the 404/401 Permits. ,
USACE Permits - Submit one copy of this form, along with supporting narratives, maps, data forms,
photos, etc. to the applicable USACE Regulatory Field Office (addresses are listed at the end of this
application). Upon receipt of an application, the USACE will determine if the application is complete as

Permit materials to the Division of Water Quality, 401/Wetlands Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650. If written approval is required or specifically requested for a 401
Certification, then a non-refundable application fee is required. In brief, if project impacts include less
than one acre of cumulative wetland/water impacts and less than 150 feet cumulative impacts to
streams, then a fee of $200 is required. If either of these thresholds is exceeded, then a fee of $475 is
required. A check made out to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, with the specific name of
the project or applicant identified, should be stapled to the front of the application package. For more
information, see the DWQ website at http://h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetiands/fees.htnil. The fee must be
attached with the application unless the applicant is a federal agency in which case the check may be
issued from a separate office. In such cases, the project must be identifiable on the U.S. Treasury check
so that it can be credited to the appropriate project. If written approval is sought solely for Buffer Rules,
the application fee does not apply, and the applicant should clearly state (in a cover letter) that only
Buffer Rule approval is sought in writing. Wetlands or waters of the U.S. may not be impacted prior to
issuance or waiver of a Section 401 Water Quality Certification. Upon receipt of a complete application

Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
,
Taking into consideration the physical constraints of the project corridor, impacts to Campbell
Creek were determined to be unavoidable. Several alternatives were then considered in an effort
to minimize potential impacts associated with the proposed Campbell Creek roadway crossing.
These included "no action," conventional piping, and bottomless culvert installation.
A no-action alternative was considered for the proposed project. This approach would leave
Hickory Grove Road as a two-lane roadway and would not increase impacts to the stream
channel. This approach would not address the need for additional vehicular capacity, and could
encourage increased traffic congestion in the future. After consideration of community needs,
this option was excluded from further consideration.
Conventional Piping of Campbell Creek beneath a widened Hickory Grove Road was also
considered. This approach would involve use of conventional reinforced concrete pipe (RCP),
corrugated metal pipe (CMP), or reinforced concrete box culvert (RCBC) structures. This
approach would allow widening of the roadway to address community needs, and could be
implemented with minimal additional impact to the stream channel (approximately 82 If culvert
extension).
Installation of a pre-cast _natural _ bottom culvert was also considered. This option could reduce
overall impacts to the streambed and would allow road widening, but would be limited by existing
utility lines (sewer and natural gas) and could conflict with project phasing. An existing natural
gas line limits culvert location, while an existing sewer line limits culvert depth. Additionally,
proiect phasing will require culvert installation in a 59-hour time period during one weekend of
construction Qpm Friday to 6am Monday). This time period would not likely allow sufficient time
to excavate, pour, and cure strip footings for a natural bottom culvert. The time reauired to install
a bottomless culvert at the proposed location could interfere with commuter traffic, mass transit,
emergency vehicle access for approximately five to seven days. After consideration of these ,
issues, this approach was excluded from further consideration.
After evaluation of potential environmental impacts, utility line constraints, project phasing
issues, community needs, and desian requirements, the recommended alternative was
determined to be conventional piping with reinforced concrete box culverts. The proposed double
9'x5' precast box culverts were then designed, in accordance with City standards, such that the
finished floor in the upstream house would not be flooded in a 100-year storm event. The '
positioning of the culvert and depth of the proposed footing were based on the culvert's proximity
to a Piedmont Natural Gas 12" transmission line and an 8" sanitarv sewer line, respectively. The
roposed culvert will be located such that the northern end wall footing will encroach only two I
Page 8 of 14 1
IJ
feet into the Piedmont Natural Gas right-of-way. The new culvert invert will be set at the existing
streambed elevation. The presence of the existing 8" sewer line will prevent culvert burial
beneath the existing streambed. During construction, a low concrete baffle will be installed, in
order to direct baseflow through a single box of the double-box culvert. This baffle will be
constructed upstream of the culvert, but has not been shown on the plan sheets included in this
PCN document.

It is anticipated that the minimal culvert extension (82 If) and accelerated construction schedule
will reduce overall project impacts. There should be no adverse impacts to the stream's
hydrologic or hydraulic performance as a result of the proposed culvert replacement effort.
The proposed road widening effort will be implemented in a portion of Charlotte that was largely
`built-out' 10-15 years ago. Water, sewer, and other infrastructure facilities have been present
along the existing roadway for many years, and the majority of nearby properties have been
Previously built upon. While the proposed roadway widening project will provide increased traffic
capacity, potential secondary impacts should be minimal. Potential secondary air quality impacts
should be offset by current and future emissions regulations (both federal and local), while
potential land use chanae should be minimized by the presence of established residential
communities and re-zoning requirements. The widening of this existing roadway between and
through previously-developed areas is not anticipated to produce significant secondary or
cumulative impacts.

VIII. Mitigation I
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as r
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.htmi.
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
As mitigation for the proposed 82 If of piping impacts, the City of Charlotte proposes 85 If of
stream enhancement (streambank stabilization and riparian buffer planting) along an impaired
reach of the Craigwood Tributary (near the Campbell Creek confluence, see Attachment B).
Degraded riparian vegetation and invasive species currently exist along this moderately
incised stream reach. Enhancement efforts will include a combination of streambank re-
shaping (at 2:1 or 3:1 slopes), bioengineering stabilization, and additional riparian planting of
native woody species, in order to reduce streambank erosion, increase stream shading, and
increase the availability of woody material within the riparian zone. Trees and shrubs will be
installed at a density of approximately 400 seedlings/acre within a 50-foot riparian corridor
along the stream channel, and will be augmented by a native herbaceous seed mix. The seed
mix alone will be used along permanent utility easements, in order to minimize potential
disturbance of buried utility lines from deep-rooting species. The proposed stream
enhancement effort should increase streambank stability (by increasing riparian root mass),
should reduce thermal degradation (by shading the stream), should increase the availability of
coarse particulate organic matter (CPOM) for aquatic macroinvertebrates, and should
eventuallv contribute additional larqe woodv debris (LWD) to the stream system.

2. 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/l*ndex.htm. If

Dear Ms. Gledhill-Ea)-ley:
Thank you for your response to our request for information regarding properties along the hickory
Grove Road project conidor.
In your letter, dated I'ebrurLry 24, 2000, you listed two sites of historical or architecture.) importance:
1. Carter's Store (MK 1771), located at 61 10 Hickory Grove Road.
2. Hickoy Grove United Methodist Church (MK 1772). located at 6301 Hickory Grove Road.
The address associated with Carter's Store is no longer recognized as a valid address, Apparentlti .
the store has been demolished, and an Eckerd's Drug Store has been built at this location.
Enclosed is a copy of the conceptual plan for the roadway widening near the Hickory Grove United
Methodist Church.. As shown, the proposed right-of-way and temporary construction easements do
not effect the stru.cturzil building. Rowever, the front lawn will be impacted due to the roadway
wicleni.ns. The proposed sidewalk will be 26 feet closer to the front of the building, and several large
txees Ml.l be removed. Setbacks from the proposed right-of.-way based on local zoning ordinances
will not be violated.
We are aware that some properties' historical or architectural importance may be related to the
properly setting or surrounding grounds as well as the buildings on the property. Because of the
project's impact to the front lawn of the Church, we wanted to provide you with the opportunity to
view the limits of the proposed improvements and comment on the proposed project.

Also, some minor right-of-way and construction easements are shown for Cie property across from
the Church at the cemetery. The easement shown on the plan is for construction of drainage pipe
and the proposed right-of-way shown is for the sidewalk. No graves would be involved in the
construction of e.itber the storm drainage or the sidewalk. The storm drainage is required near the
dirt drive accessing the cemetery. The right-of-way required, is one foot behind the proposed
sidewalk, but would not require the stone wall to be relocated.
The Planning Report for this project has a deadline of. March 31, 2000. We hope to document
concerns and comments from all agencies such as the North. Carolina Department of Cultural
Resources in this report.. I understand this gives you a short time to review the drawing and make
an assessment. However, the City of Charlotte is very concerned about preserving historical
structures and your input is important.
Thank you for your time and cooperation. Please let me know if you need additional information
regarding the proposed project.
Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Gledhill-Earley:
Piz f cp Y
The City of Charlotte Engineering and Property Management Department has retained USInfrastructurc, Inc.
(USI) to perform a conceptual planning study for the proposed. Hickory Grove Widening Project. This letter
serves to introduce your agency to the project end solicit any comments you may have during this phase of
the project development.
Hickory Grove Road is currently a 2-lane minor thoroughfare that serves the eastem side of the City. The
proposed improvements would widen the existing road to 4-lanes with designated bike lanes from Sharnrock
Drive to Highland Avenue. The attached map shows the project limits and the surrounding area. In
addition, the project will include resurfacing the project limits, side street intersection improvements, curb
and gutter, storm drainage, sidewalk and planting strips, landscaping, and street lighting.
We are aware that the cemetery located across from Hickory Grove United Methodist Church has grave sites
dated around 1850. However, we are not aware of any other historic properties within the corridor. As a
part of the Planning Phase, please comment regarding the presence of any historic sites or structures that may
be affected by the proposed project.
Please let the know if you need additional information regarding the proposed project.

Dear Mr. Morrison:
Subject: Hickory Grove Widening (USI Project # 990214-001), Charlotte, Mecklenburg County,
North Carolina
In your lener of January 11, 2000, you requested our comments on the subject project. The
' following comments are provided in accordance with. the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, as
amended (16 U.S.C. 661-667e), and Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543) (Act).
I According to the information provided with your letter, the City of Charlotte plans to improve
Hickory Grove Road from its current two-lane configuration to a four-lane facility with bike
' paths. The project will also involve the installation of curbs and gutters, storm drainage,
sidewalks and planting strips, landscaping, and street lighting. The project will cross a stream.
' Enclosed is a list of species from Mecklenburg County that are on the Federal List of
Endangered and 77ireatened Wildlife and Plants and species of Federal concem that may occur
in the project impact area. We recommend surveying the project area for these species prior to
' any further planning or on-the-ground activities to ensure that no adverse impacts occur to these
species. We do have records from the project area of the endangered Schweinitz's sunflower
(Helianthus schweinitzii) and Heller's trefoil (Lotus helleri), a species of Federal concern.
Species of Federal concern are not legally protected under the Act and are not subject to any of
its provisions, including Section 7, unless they are formally proposed or listed as endangered or
' threatened. We are including these species in our response to give you advance notification. The
presence or absence of these species in the project impact area should be addressed in any
environmental document prepared for this project.

The environmental document should contain the following information, if pertinent:
,
(1) A complete analysis and comparison of the available alternatives (the build
and no-build alternatives).
(2) A description of the fishery and wildlife resources within existing and
required additional rights-of-way and any areas, such as borrow areas,
that may be affected directly or indirectly by the proposed road '
improvements.
(3) The acreage and description of wetlands that will be filled as a result of '
the proposed road improvements. We are concerned about potential
wetland areas along Campbell Creek, a tributary to McAlpine Creek. '
Wetlands affected by the proposed project should be mapped in
accordance with the Federal Manual for Identifying and Delineating
Jurisdictional Wetlands. We recommend contacting the U.S. Army '
Corps of Engineers to determine the need for a Section 404 Clean Water
Act permit.
'
(4) The extent (linear feet as well as discharge) of any water courses that will be
impacted as a result of the proposed project. We are concerned about impacts
to Campbell Creek. A description of any streams should include the '
classification (Rosgen 1995, 1996) and a description of the biotic resources.
(5) The acreage of upland habitat, by cover type, that will be eliminated '
because of the proposed project.
(6) A description of all expected secondary and cumulative environmental t
impacts associated with this proposed work.
(7) An analysis of the crossing structures considered (i.e., spanning structure, '
culvert) and the rationale for choosing the preferred structure(s). We prefer
stream crossings that span the bank-full width of the stream and do not impede ,
natural stream functions or fish passage.
(8) A discussion about the extent to which the project will result in. the loss,
degradation, or fragmentation of wildlife habitat from direct construction

LAW Project 30100-1-0123
Dear Mr. Wilson:
A*14 F
Law Engineering and Environmental Services, Inc. (LAW) is pleased to submit this update conceming the
protected species assessment on the approximate 8,100 linear foot (If) Hickory Grove Road Widening
project, located in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. The approximate site location is shown
on the attached Figure 1. As noted in previous communication, the proposed Hickory Grove Road
Widening project study area is located approximately six miles east of downtown Charlotte. The project
area encompasses Hickory Grove Road between Shamrock Drive and Palo Verde Lane and areas adjacent to
the north and south of Hickory Grove Road, within an approximate 100-foot wide construction corridor.
Areas previously identified as potential habitat for protected species, discussed in a preliminary Natural
Resources Report prepared by LAW and submitted to you on March 26, 2001, were revisited on May 18,
2001. A pedestrian visual review of these areas was conducted to determine the presence or absence of
protected species known to occur in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. This report documents the
methodology used to assess potential protected species habitat or sensitive environments, and the results of
our studies.
A preliminary field review, conducted on February 9, 2001, identified three locations within the project
area that contain potential habitat for Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii), and smooth

coneflower (Echinacea laevigata), two federal and state listed endangered plants and Georgia aster (Aster
georgianus), a state listed threatened plant (Figure 2). 1
• Area l - an open field just west of Market Street on the north side of Hickory Grove Road. '
• Area 2 - a transmission line right-of-way on the west side of Campbell Creek and south of Hickory
Grove Road '
• Area 3 - an open field and former home-site, just west of Valleyview Drive, on the south side of
Hickory Grove Road. ,
No individuals of Schweinitz's sunflower, smooth coneflower, or Georgia aster were observed during the '
February 9, 2001 field visit; however, winter identification of these plants, particularly Schweinitz's
sunflower and Georgia aster, is not optimal. ,
To further assess potential impacts of the proposed project on sensitive species or communities, LAW's
Catherine McRae, Environmental Scientist/botanist, conducted a field review of the areas previously ,
identified as potential habitat on May 18, 2001. Schweinitz's sunflower, smooth coneflower, and Georgia
aster are typically found in similar habitat, characterized by an open canopy, areas of exposed soil, and a ,
moderate disturbance regime, such as mowing or burning. Areas of the proposed project site exhibiting
these characteristics were reviewed for presence or absence of listed species known to occur in '
Mecklenburg County. Schweinitz's sunflower typically blooms in September, but can be identified by a
combination of vegetative characters throughout the growing season, including a scabrous upper leaf
surface, soft-pubescent lower leaf surface, and pubescent stem. Georgia aster blooms in October, but can
be identified by leaf vein characteristics, which are present throughout the growing season. Smooth ,
coneflower, which typically blooms in June and July, is difficult to identify in the vegetative state, but
generally has persistent flowering stalks that remain throughout the winter until the next blooming period. ,
Persistence of flowering stalks was confirmed by a recent field visit to the only known population of
smooth coneflower in Mecklenburg County.

The three areas previously described as potential habitat are currently dominated by fescue (Festuca
r eliator), rabbitfoot clover (Trifolium arvense), red clover (Trifolium pratense), common yellow thistle
(Cirsium horridulum), sericea lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata), ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia), vetch
r (Vicia sp.), Indian hemp (Apocynum cannabinum), and ox-eye daisy (Chrysanthemum leucanthemum).
No individuals of Schweinitz's sunflower, smooth coneflower, or Georgia aster were observed during the
' field review, nor were any members of the respective genera observed. Additionally, no individuals of
rare but unprotected plants known to occur in Mecklenburg County, including Heller's rabbit tobacco
(Gnaphalium helleri), southern anemone (Anemone berlandieri), sessile tick-trefoil (Desmodium
r sessilifolium), or Carolina thistle (Cirsium carolinianum) were observed during this pedestrian field
review of the three areas previously identified as potential habitat.
