Placement of Fill Material

Mecklenburg County, 14. C.
This office has reviewed the subject proposal. Based on
this review we find that impact to water quality will occur
only during the construction phase; and should be minimal and
restricted only to the immediate area of construction. No long
term or irreversible impact should result; however, fish/wildlife
habitats in the immediate area of construction may be destroyed.
If you have questions, please advise.

PUBLIC NOTICE
THE NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, DIVISION OF HIGHWAYS,
Post Office Box 25201, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-5201, has applied for a
Department of the Army permit TO PLACE FILL MATERIAL IN WATERS OF SUGAR CREEK
AND KINGS BRANCH ASSOCIATED WITH CONSTRUCTION OF THE CHARLOTTE OUTER LOOP,
FROM WEST OF NATIONS FORD ROAD TO U.S. HIGHWAY 521 INTERCHANGE, Mecklenburg
County, North Carolina .
The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the
applicant and from observations made during an onsite visit by a
representative of the Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with the
application show the proposed construction of the Charlotte Outer Loop as a
multilane freeway. At two sites the roadway is to cross Sugar Creek requiring
the placement of fill material in regulated waters. At Site I, the roadway is
to span Sugar Creek on parallel bridges. A minor channel change in a small
tributary to Sugar Creek is to be effected, and riprap material for erosion
control is to be placed along the bank of Sugar Creek. Approximately 325
cubic yards of fill material is to be placed below the elevation of ordinary
high water. At Site II, approximately 700 feet of the channel of Sugar Creek
is to be altered, and a triple, 10-foot by 10-foot box culvert is to be
installed to convey Kings Branch under the roadway to Sugar Creek.
Approximately 14,100 cubic yards of fill material is to be placed below the
elevation of ordinary high water. The purpose of the highway construction is
to provide effective, safe public highway transportation. Plans showing the
work are included with this public notice.
The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine
the need for the applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No
Department of the Army permit will be issued until the coordinated State
viewpoint on the proposal has been received and reviewed by this agency, nor
will a Department of the Army permit be issued until the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management has determined the applicability of a
Water Quality Certificate as required by PL 92-500.
This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404(b) of the
Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within
the comment period specified in the notice, that a public hearing be held to
consider this application. Requests for public hearing shall state, with
particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing.

The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the
National Register of Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered
properties, or properties listed as being eligible for inclusion therein, and
this worksite is not registered property or property listed as being eligible
for inclusion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register
constitutes the extent of cultural resource investigations by the District
Engineer, and he is otherwise unaware of the presence of such resources.
Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistorical, or historical
data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit.
The District Engineer has determined, based on a review of data furnished
by the applicant and onsite observations, that the activity will not affect
species, or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened
pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973.
The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of
the probable impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity
and its intended use on the public interest. Evaluation of the probable
impacts which the proposed activity may have on the public interest requires a
careful weighing of all those factors which become relevant in each particular
case. The benefits which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the
proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The
decision whether to authorize a proposal, and if so the conditions under which
it will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the outcome of the
general balancing process. That decision should reflect the national concern
for both protection and utilization of important resources. All factors which
may be relevant to the proposal must be considered including the cumulative
effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general
environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values,
flood hazards and flood plain values (in accordance with Executive Order
11988), land use, navigation, shore erosion and accretion, recreation, water
supply and conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber
production, mineral needs, considerations of property ownership, and, in
general, the needs and welfare of the people. For activities involving the
placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of the United States, a
permit will be denied if the discharge that would be authorized by such permit
would not comply with the Environmental Protection Agencies' 404(b)(1)
guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any other applicable
guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless the District Engineer
determines that it would be contrary to the public interest.
Generally, the decision whether to issue this Department of the Army
permit will not be made until the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management (DEM) issues, denies, or waives State certification required by
Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The DEM considers whether or not the
proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the
Clean Water Act. The application and this public notice for the Department of
the Army permit serves as application to the DEM for certification.

reviewed at the offices of the Environmental Operations.Section, North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management, Salisbury Street, Archdale

The North Carolina Division of Environmental Management plans to take
final action in the issuance of the Clean Water Act certification on or after
May 20, 1988.
All persons desiring to make comments regarding the application for Clean
Water Act certification should do so in writing delivered to the North

Enclosed is the application of the North Carolina Department
of Transportation, Division of Highways, for Department of the
Army authorization and a State Water Quality Certification to
place fill material in the waters of Sugar Creek and Rings Branch
associated with the construction of the Charlotte Outer Loop, from
west of Nations Ford Road to U.S. Highway 521 Interchange,
Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. Your receipt of this letter
verifies your acceptance of a valid request for certification in
accordance with Section 325.2(b)(ii) of our administrative
regulations.
We are considering authorizing the proposed activity pursuant
to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and we have determined that
a water quality certification may be required under the provisions
of Section 401 of the same law. A Department of the Army permit
will not be granted until the certification has been obtained or
waived.
In accordance with our administrative regulations, 60 days
after receipt of a request for certification is a reasonable time
for State action. Therefore, if you have not acted on the request
by June 25, 1988, the District Engineer will deem that waiver has
occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Hugh Heine,
telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
Charles W. Hollis
