CERTIFIED MAIL: RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
Ms. Mary C. Murray
600 East Fourth Street
Charlotte, NC, 28202
Dear Ms. Murray:
On October 8, 2002, the NC Division of Water Quality received your application for a 401 Water Quality Certification to
fill 0.31 acres of wetlands in order to conduct the 5310 Amity Place Maintenance Project in Mecklenburg County. In
accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0506, a site evaluation has been conducted by Mr. Mike Parker of the DWQ Mooresville
Regional Office. Based on this review, we have determined that significant uses could be removed or degraded by this
project in addition to those specified in the application. Specifically, please address the following issues so that we may
further review your application:
Based on observations during the site investigation, it would appear that the existing wetlands were formed partially as
the result of the current hydrology of the channel and the grade of the surrounding topography. Even average storm
events likely result in adjacent riparian area flooding, which helps maintain current wetland hydrology. Although it is
clear that current grade conditions have led to standing (pooled) water in the channel, it is suspected that any
excavation of the channel to improve flow and drainage may have a negative effect on current wetland hydrology.
Therefore, prior to authorizing these temporary wetland impacts, the applicant should provide the Wetlands Unit with
information as to how the proposed work will not negatively impact current wetland hydrology.
Until the information requested in this letter is provided, I will request (by copy of this letter) that the Corps of Engineers
place this project on hold. Also, this project will be placed on hold for our processing due to incomplete information (15A
NCAC 2H .0507(h)).
Thank you for your attention. If you have any questions, please contact Mike Parker in our Mooresville Regional Office
at [phone] or Cyndi Karoly in Raleigh at [phone].

Comments:
The a lipx? cant (Charlotte Stormwater Services) is requesting approval to "tem on rarely" impact 0.31 ac,
of wetlands while work is performed on an adjacent stream channel to restore osg itive grade which
will allow the channel to better convey SW as well as base flow. The channel is aILX fed by SW
from an adjacent residential subdivision, which, due to grade problems, causes the water in the
channel to pool rather that drain out. Nearby neighbors have complained that the standing water has
created a breeding ground for mosquitos (Meck. Co. had a high incidence of West Nile virus
confirmations this past summer).

Executive Summary
The 5310 Amity Place Maintenance Project is located in Charlotte, North Carolina, approximately 1/2
mile southeast of the intersection of East Independence Boulevard and North Sharon Amity Road
(Attachment A - Figures 1 and 2). A component of this project will include making improvements to
Streams A and B to increase their ability to adequately convey storm water runoff. Charlotte Storm
Water Services (CSWS) has retained Carolina Wetland Services, Inc. (CWS) to perform
environmental 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) and
three jurisdictional wetland areas (Wetlands AA-CC) located within the project limits
(Attachment A - Figure 3). These results were field-verified by Mr. Steve Chapin on June 26, 2002.
CSWS is requesting written verification of the jurisdictional determination of Streams A and B and
Wetlands AA-CC and this project's compliance with Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
(Attachment Q.
On behalf of the City of Charlotte, CWS is submitting a Pre-Construction Notification application
(PCN) (Attachment B) with attachments in accordance with Nationwide Permit General Condition
No. 13, and pursuant to a Nationwide Permit No. 39. The attached PCN is being submitted for
authorization to temporarily impact 0.31acre of adjacent wetlands to restore positive grade to
Streams A and B, which are experiencing drainage problems. In addition to temporary wetland
impacts, Streams A and B will be excavated for approximately 631 linear feet. These activities will
only result in incidental fall back and are therefore exempt for Section 404/401 permitting. Portions
of the excavated channels will be lined with erosion control matting and seeded with a wetland seed
mix to prevent erosion. Given the temporary nature of the proposed impacts, no mitigation is
currently being proposed for this project.

Existing Conditions
The following sections describe the existing conditions of the project area.
Introduction
The 5310 Amity Place Maintenance Project is located in Charlotte, North Carolina, approximately 1/2
mile southeast of the intersection of East Independence Boulevard and North Sharon Amity Road
(Attachment A - Figures 1 and 2). A component of this project will include making improvements to
Streams A and B to increase their ability to adequately convey storm water runoff. Charlotte Storm
Water Services (CSWS) has retained Carolina Wetland Services, Inc. (CWS) to perform
environmental permitting services for this project. This project will consist of excavating 631 linear
feet of stream channel and temporarily impacting 0.31 acre of adjacent wetlands to restore positive
grade, which will increase stream velocity and reduce sedimentation and eliminate standing water.
Current Land Use
The majority of the site consists of undeveloped mature woods with dominant canopy vegetation
consisting of sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciua), red maple (Acer rubrum), green ash
(Fraxinus pennsylvanica), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), white oak (Quercus alba), tag alder
(Alnus serrulata), and red cedar (Juniperus virginiana). False nettle (Boehmeria cylindrica), poison ivy
(Toxicodendron radicans), Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia), catbriar
(Smilax rotundifolia), privet (Ligustrum sinense), and soft rush (Juncus effusus) are the dominant
understory vegetation. The current land use surrounding this project is mainly residential.

Jurisdictional Delineation
On May 16, 22, and 23, 2002, CWS's Gregg Antemann and Isaac Hinson delineated on-site
jurisdictional waters of the U.S.' within the project area 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 Jurisdictional waters of the U.S. were classified according
to recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ)3 and USACE guidance. The results
of the on-site field investigations indicate that there are two jurisdictional stream channels (Streams
A and B) and three jurisdictional wetland areas (Wetlands AA-CC) located within the project limits
(Attachment A - Figure 3). Streams A and B are unnamed tributaries to Campbell Creek. Campbell
Creek is located within the lower Catawba River Basin (HU# 03050103)4, and is classified as "Class
C" waters by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ). On-site jurisdictional areas
are summarized in Table I. Following the delineation, CWS surveyed the wetland areas using a
Trimble ProXRS submeter GPS unit. These surveyed wetland areas appear on Figure 3 (Attachment
A). Results were field-verified by Mr. Steve Chapin of the USACE on June 26, 2002, during a field
visit with Ms. Mary C. Murray and Mr. Jarrod Karl of CSWS and Mr. Gregory Antemann of CWS.
A Request for Jurisdictional Determination form has been included as Attachment C.

Stream Classifications
The upstream portion of Stream A is approximately 1,050 linear feet in length and was evaluated to
be Important Intermittent. This segment of Stream A receives hydrologic input from two cement-
lined channels. A photograph of one of the cement-lined channels is included as
Attachment G - Photograph A. This segment of stream channel is strongly braided, has a strong
presence of recent alluvial deposits, and displays moderate sinuosity. Benthic macroinvertebrates
and crayfish were sampled from within this portion of Stream A during the field investigations
(Attachments E and F - SCP1). This portion of Stream A rated a 30.5 out of a possible 71 points on
the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form. A photograph of the Important Intermittent segment of
Stream A is included as Attachment G - Photograph B.
The downstream portion of Stream A is approximately 290 linear feet in length and was evaluated to
be Perennial. This segment of stream channel has a 4-foot ordinary high water width, channel
substrate consisting of coarse sand to cobble, and a strong presence of benthic macroinvertebrates
(Attachments E and F - SCP2). This portion of Stream A rated a 33.25 out of a possible 71 points on
the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form. A photograph of the Perennial segment of Stream A is
included as Attachment G - Photograph C.
Stream B is approximately 153 linear feet in length from its beginning at the outfall of the eastern
cement-lined channel to its confluence with Stream A within Wetland AA. This channel was
evaluated to be Important Intermittent and has similar channel attributes as Stream A.
Wetlands
Wetland AA is approximately 0.33 acre in size and is contiguous with the Important Intermittent
segments of Streams A and B. Wetland AA is located adjacent to and upstream of the convergence
of Streams A and B. Dominant vegetation includes false nettle (Boehmeria cylindrica), green ash
(Fraxinus pennsylvanica), and sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciua) (Attachment D - DP 1).

5310 Amity Place Maintenance Project October 4, 2002
Nationwide Permit No. 39 Project No. 2002-0214
Wetland BB is approximately 0.05 acre in size and is contiguous with the Important Intermittent
segment of Stream A. Wetland BB is located downstream of Wetland AA. Dominant vegetation
includes soft rush (Juncus effusus), false nettle (Boehmeria cylindrica), and sweetgum (Liquidambar
styraci.Jlua) (Attachment D - DP3). A photograph of Wetland BB is included as
Attachment G - Photograph D.
Wetland CC is approximately 0.03 acre in size and is contiguous with the Important Intermittent
segment of Stream A. Wetland CC is located downstream of Wetlands AA and BB and contains
dominant vegetation similar to that of Wetland BB.
A Routine Wetland Determination Data Form representative of on-site upland areas is included as
Attachment D - DP2.
Purpose and Need for the Project
Stream A currently receives hydrology from two storm water outfalls. Both of these outfalls have a
cement-lined channel section that retains water after storm events. Nearby residents have filed
complaints with CSWS to eliminate the standing water that is providing breeding habitat for
mosquitoes. This project will consist of making improvements to Streams A and B to increase their
ability to adequately convey storm water runoff.
Avoidance and Minimization
Prior to developing a design for this project, representatives from CSWS, CWS, and the USACE met
on-site to discuss the project. Excavation has been minimized to the length necessary to obtain a
positive grade in Stream A. Additional steps taken to minimize impact to jurisdictional wetland
areas include hauling excavated fill off-site to an upland disposal area. Typical heavy equipment
used for excavation activities is being replaced by a small rubber-track excavator and a gator-type
vehicle for hauling fill material to minimize secondary impacts to adjacent wetland areas.
Construction access will be limited to fifteen feet on both sides of Streams A and B (30 feet total).

5310 Amity Place Maintenance Project October 4, 2002
Nationwide Permit No. 39 Project No. 2002-0214
Proposed Impacts to jurisdictional Waters
Impacts to jurisdictional waters will result from the excavation of on-site stream channels. This
project is intended to restore positive grade, and in turn, increase stream velocity and reduce local
sedimentation and standing water. During these activities, impacts to jurisdictional areas will be
minimized to the maximum extent practicable. Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be
used to minimize disturbance to downstream waters. The proposed 631 linear feet of channel
excavation will result in only incidental fall-back. Portions of excavated channel will be lined with
erosion control matting and seeded with a wetland seed mix to prevent erosion. Under these
conditions, excavation is exempt from Section 404 permitting. Therefore, a formal application
(PCN) has not been prepared for this portion of the project.
Under NWP No. 39, 0.31 acre of wetland areas will be temporarily impacted by this project. These
impacts are illustrated in Figure 4 (Attachment A). Approximately 0.27 acre of Wetland AA and 0.04
acre of Wetland BB will be temporarily impacted by a thirty-foot construction corridor (15 feet on both
sides of Streams A and B). Temporarily impacted wetland areas will be restored to pre-construction
grades to maintain pre-construction hydrology. Impacts associated with this project will follow the
general conditions of NWP No. 39.
Compensatory Mitigation
Based on the temporary nature of the proposed impacts associated with this project, no mitigation is
being proposed for this project at this time. Temporary impacts to jurisdictional wetlands and waters
will be restored to pre-construction contours upon project completion.

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
www.us s.aov. Several internet sites also allow direct download and printing of USGS maps (e.g., www.topozone.com,
www.mapquest.com, etc.).

4. Pond Creation
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands

Page 4 of 8
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Impacts will result from the excavation of stream channel, which is intended to restore
' positive grade, and in turn, increase stream velocity and reduce sedimentation and standing
water. During these activities, impacts to jurisdictional areas will be minimized to the
maximum extent practicable. Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be used to
' minimize disturbance to downstream waters.
VIII. Mitigation
' 1. Based on the temporary nature of the proposed impacts associated with this project, no
mitigation is being proposed at this time.
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/index.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
the following information:
