Subject: Pre-Construction Notification – NWP 27
Colonial Pipeline Company Restoration
Mecklenburg County, North Carolina
Corblu Project No. 02-041001
Dear Recipient:
Corblu Ecology Group, LLC (Corblu) is pleased to submit a pre-construction notification
(PCN) on behalf of our client, Colonial Pipeline Company (CPC), for the activities associated
with the proposed stream restoration located within CPC’s petroleum pipeline Charlotte
Facility in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. The use of Nationwide Permit No. 27 (NWP
27 – Aquatic Habitat Restoration, Establishment and Enhancement Activities) is proposed for
stream restoration activities to stabilize and protect the facility entrance road, correct and
prevent ongoing stream bank erosion (i.e., undermine/undercut) that threatens the
referenced access road. The project is located at 7524 Kenstead Circle, Charlotte, North
Carolina (35.283925, -80.932556; Figures 1-4; Photographs 1-4).
Background
CPC is committed to operating their pipelines and support facilities in a manner that protects
the safety of the public, the environment, and its workforce. The proposed stream restoration
project is a component of CPC’s ongoing Integrity Management Program (IMP). The IMP
provides an important means of achieving spill-free, error-free operations. The purpose of
the IMP is to improve/maintain the integrity of CPC’s system – including pipelines, facilities,
equipment, tanks and delivery lines.

Pre-Construction Notification – Nationwide Permit No. 27 May 19, 2020
CPC Access Road Stream Restoration CEG Project No. 02-041901
The project site is located within CPC’s existing petroleum pipeline Charlotte Facility which is
comprised of numerous petroleum storage tanks, pumps, valves, pipelines, as well as the
facility’s administrative/operation office. The stream of concern is an unnamed intermittent
tributary to Gum Branch. The unnamed intermittent stream flows west through a culvert at
CPC’s east fence line (Photograph No. 1), into a concrete lined channel, and flows directly
west towards the access road where it takes a 90 degree turn (Photograph No. 2) and flows
north paralleling the access road. The combination of the concrete lined channel’s stream
energy flowing directly at the access road along with the sharp 90 degree turn resulting in
intense erosive forces during high flow events has caused severe erosion of the streambank
and is undercutting the facility access road.
To ensure facility access road integrity which is needed for normal operations as well as
emergency responses, the stream and streambank requires restoration and stabilization
(NWP 27) to prevent continued bank erosion. As designed by Engineering 303, restoration of
the above stream segment [approximately 303 linear feet (LF)] will be accomplished using
“natural channel design” and construction techniques (Appendix A).
The site is located within the Mountain Inland Lake – Catawba River watershed (12-digit
hydrologic unit code [HUC] 030501011405; Figure 1). As mentioned above, the project site is
located completely within CPC’s Charlotte Facility which is surrounded by industrial and
residential developments. Soils within the project site are mapped by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) as Cecil sandy clay loam
(CeD2), Helena sandy loam (HeB), and Pacolet sandy loam (PaE). Heb soil is listed as a
“predominantly nonhydric” hydric soil by the NRCS for Mecklenburg County, North Carolina
(Figure 2).
The waters on the project site were delineated by Corblu personnel on July 19, 2019 and
surveyed by Engineering 303 on March 30, 2020. Based on the results of the field visit and
existing data review, the extent of potentially jurisdictional waters in the subject area are
comprised of an unnamed intermittent tributary to Gum Branch and an emergent wetland
area (Photograph No. 3 and 4; Figure 5; Appendix A). Specifically, Corblu surveyed the
above stream restoration area in accordance with the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands

Pre-Construction Notification – Nationwide Permit No. 27 May 19, 2020
CPC Access Road Stream Restoration CEG Project No. 02-041901
Delineation Manual 1 , “Rapanos” guidance 2 , and the appropriate U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) Regional Supplement3.
The stream restoration will result in a slight “net gain” of aquatic habitat; i.e., 300 LF to 303
LF of the unnamed intermittent tributary and no significant change to the of emergent
wetland area. Corblu respectfully requests authorization for the above-referenced project
under NWP No. 27 for the CPC Charlotte Facility stream restoration effort (Figure 6;
Appendix A). The appropriate figures and photographs are enclosed for your review.

Pre-Construction Notification – Nationwide Permit No. 27 May 19, 2020
CPC Access Road Stream Restoration CEG Project No. 02-041901
General Condition 18 – Endangered Species
Corblu conducted a literature and records review of information available from the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service (USFWS) concerning the potential occurrence of federally threatened
and endangered species on the project site. Six federally protected species are listed by the
USFWS as potentially occurring in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina : 1) Carolina
heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorate); 2) Northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis); 3)
harperella (Ptilimnium nodosum); 4) Michaux’s sumac (Rhus michauxii); 5) Schweinitz's
sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii); and 6) smooth coneflower (Echinacea laevigata).
Additionally, an official IPaC species report (Appendix E) was requested from the USFWS for
the above referenced project area, which listed four of the above referenced species that
could potentially occur within the area: 1) Carolina heelsplitter; 2) Michaux’s sumac; 3)
sunflower helianthus; and 4) smooth coneflower. The IPaC report also stated that there are
no critical habitats within this project area.
The concrete lined unnamed intermittent tributary to Gum Branch does not provide suitable
habitat to support the Carolina heelsplitter. Specifically, the subject stream lacks stable well
shaded stream banks as well as clay/sand/gravel substrate. Further, because the project
area is within an existing and maintained petroleum pipeline facility it has been cleared of all
trees and is continually mowed for required ongoing maintenance activities and therefore
does not support suitable terrestrial habitat for the remaining listed species.
Further, based on the field survey conducted by Corblu on July 19, 2019, no individuals were
observed within the project area for the above listed species and no critical habitat loss is
expected; therefore, no impacts to protected species is anticipated from the proposed
project.
General Condition 19 – Migratory Birds and Bald and Golden Eagle Permits
During our site inspection no Bald or Golden Eagle individuals or nests were observed within
the vicinity of the project location. Further; the proposed stream restoration will not involve
the clearing of any trees; therefore, no impacts to the Bald or Golden Eagles are anticipated
as a result of this project.
General Condition 20 – Historic Properties
Corblu completed a cultural resources literature review on the National Registry of Historical
Places (NHRP) and North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office GIS Web Service
(HPOWEB) for the project site. Based on the information available during the literature
review, no NHRP eligible/listed properties are recorded within the project site. There is an
historic resource in the general vicinity (a distance of approximately 4,000 feet) of CPC’s
Charlotte Facility (Appendix F), but not within the view shed of the NHRP resource. Further
the stream restoration project area was significantly disturbed during the 1960’s construction
of the Charlotte Facility and access road; therefore, any cultural resources that may have
been within the project area are no longer present.
General Condition 21 – Discovery of Previously Unknown Remains and Artifacts
The district engineer will be notified immediately if any historic, cultural, or archeological
remains and/or artifacts are discovered.
General Condition 22 – Designated Critical Resource Waters
No Critical Resource Waters occur on or adjacent to the proposed stream restoration .

Pre-Construction Notification – Nationwide Permit No. 27 May 19, 2020
CPC Access Road Stream Restoration CEG Project No. 02-041901
General Condition 23 – Mitigation
Since the proposed project will not result in a loss of aquatic resources and has been
designed to improve aquatic habitat and function, thus no mitigation is proposed. The
proposed stream restoration will result in a net water quality improvement to the subject
stream via reduction in bank erosion and associated sedimentation.
General Condition 24 – Safety of Impoundment Structures
The proposed stream restoration does not include the construction of any impoundment
structures.
General Condition 25 – Water Quality
The North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) provided a conditional Section 401

Stream Restoration Details
Project Scope
The goal of this project is to relocate the existing stream and stabilize the
streambanks to protect the existing access road. This will be accomplished by
modifying the existing stream channel and constructing Bankfull Benches, Rock
Cross Vanes, Constructed Riffles and Low Flow Deflectors. The stream will be
realigned and bankfull benches will be constructed to reconnect the stream to a
flood prone area.
Since this project will involve working on the streambanks, it is not possible to
provide a temporary sediment basin. Contractor will monitor the long range
weather forecast and will schedule work to minimize exposure of all disturbed
areas. Due to the nature of this project, it is the opinion of this firm that traditional
sediment storage BMPs are not appropriate for this instream work and would
create additional, unnecessary disturbance that would be disruptive to project
goals. Other approved BMPs such as rock filter dams and silt fence are proposed as
perimeter protection for this work area and shall prevent sediment discharge from
the site.
The proposed disturbed area is 0.30± acres. There is no proposed impervious area
for this project. This design applies Natural Channel Design principles in areas
where site constraints allow.
Long Term Weather Monitoring:
The contractor shall monitor the long range weather forecast and will schedule all work
to minimize the exposure of any disturbed area. Contractor shall pump the base flows
around the work area during construction of the in -stream structures. The intake will
be placed upstream of the work area using natural pools or sand bags to pond the
stream for pumping. The discharge pipe shall be placed down stream of the work area
using the Temporary Rock Filter or existing culverts to control the discharge velocity and
prevent any scour. If contractor discharges into the Temporary Rock Filter, contractor
shall install a 12 inch perforated pipe internal of the rock filter and the discharge pipe
shall be inserted into the 12 inch perforated pipe. If discharge is not clean, Colonial
Pipeline or the site inspector may require the use of filter bags with the bypass
pumping.
The Rock Filters will be approved with the Nationwide Permit 27 as a temporary
structure necessary to facilitate the construction of the in -stream work. Once all
in -stream work is complete the Temporary Rock Filters shall be removed.

F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One)
I am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminary JD for the property identified herein.
A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) provides an indication that there may
be “waters of the United States” or “navigable waters of the United States”on a property.
PJDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. For the purposes of permitting, all
waters and wetlands on the property will be treated as if they are jurisdictional “waters of
the United States”. PJDs cannot be appealed (33 C.F.R. 331.2); however, a PJD is
“preliminary” in the sense that an approved JD can be requested at any time. PJDs do
not expire.
I am requesting that the Corps provide an approved JD for the property identified herein.
An Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) is a determination that
jurisdictional “waters of the United States” or “navigable waters of the United
States” are either present or absent on a site. An approved JD identifies the limits of
waters on a site determined to be jurisdictional under the Clean Water Act and/or
Rivers and Harbors Act. Approved JDs are sufficient as the basis for permit
decisions. AJDs are appealable (33 C.F.R. 331.2). The results of the AJD will be
posted on the Corps website. A landowner, permit applicant, or other “affected
party” (33 C.F.R. 331.2) who receives an AJD may rely upon the AJD for five years
(subject to certain limited exceptions explained in Regulatory Guidance Letter 05-
02).
I am unclear as to which JD I would like to request and require additional information
to inform my decision.
G. ALL REQUESTS
Map of Property or Project Area. This Map must clearly depict the boundaries of the
review area.
Size of Property or Review Area acres.
The property boundary (or review area boundary) is clearly physically marked on the site.

Location of data points for each Wetland Determination Data Form or tributary
assessment reach.
For Approved Jurisdictional Determinations:
Jurisdictional wetland features should be labeled as Wetland Waters of the US, 404
wetlands, etc. Please include the acreage of these features.
Jurisdictional non-wetland features (i.e. tidal/navigable waters, tributaries,
impoundments) should be labeled as Non-Wetland Waters of the US, stream, tributary,
open water, relatively permanent water, pond, etc. Please include the acreage or linear
length of each of these features as appropriate.
Isolated waters, waters that lack a significant nexus to navigable waters, or non-
jurisdictional upland features should be identified as Non-Jurisdictional. Please
include a justification in the label regarding why the feature is non-jurisdictional (i.e.
“Isolated”, “No Significant Nexus”, or “Upland Feature”). Please include the acreage
or linear length of these features as appropriate.
For Preliminary Jurisdictional Determinations:
Wetland and non-wetland features should not be identified as Jurisdictional, 404,
Waters of the United States, or anything that implies jurisdiction. These features can be
identified as Potential Waters of the United States, Potential Non-wetland Waters of
the United States, wetland, stream, open water, etc. Please include the acreage and
linear length of these features as appropriate.
Completed Wetland Determination Data Forms for appropriate region
(at least one wetland and one upland form needs to be completed for each wetland type)

1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the
United States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party
who requested this preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to
request and obtain an approved jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site.
Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other person who requested this
preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain an approved JD in
this instance and at this time.
2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or
a Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring
“pre-construction notification” (PCN), or requests verification for a non-reporting
NWP or other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an
approved JD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of the
following: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization
based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official determination of
jurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option to request an approved
JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and
that basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less
compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that
the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting
the terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4)
that the applicant can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply
with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation
requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5) that undertaking
any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting
an approved JD constitutes the applicant’s acceptance of the use of the
preliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is
practicable; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered
individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps
permit authorization based on a preliminary JD constitutes agreement that all
wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that activity
are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes any challenge to
such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement
action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether
the applicant elects to use either an approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD
will be processed as soon as is practicable. Further, an approved JD, a proffered
individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual
permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331,
and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33
C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessary
to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or
to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will
provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable.

This preliminary JD finds that there “may be” waters of the United States on the
subject project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be
affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:
IMPORTANT NOTE: The information recorded on this form has not
necessarily been verified by the Corps and should not be relied upon for

Project Name: Erosion Control for Access Road
Subject:List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location, and/or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The attached species list identifies threatened, endangered, proposed and candidate species, as
well as proposed and final designated critical habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your
proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project. Although not required by
section 7, many agencies request species lists to start the informal consultation process and begin
their fulfillment of the requirements under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of
1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
This list, along with other helpful resources, is also available on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service) Asheville Field Office's (AFO) website: https://www.fws.gov/raleigh/species/
cntylist/nc_counties.html. The AFO website list includes “species of concern” species that could
potentially be placed on the federal list of threatened and endangered species in the future. Also
available are:

05/08/2020 Event Code: 04EN1000-2020-E-01391 2
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could require modifications of these lists.
Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the Act,
the accuracy of the species lists should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be
completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be
completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website or the AFO website (the AFO website dates each
county list with the day of the most recent update/change) at regular intervals during project
planning and implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be
requested through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the
enclosed list or by going to the AFO website.
The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the
ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the
Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to
utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered
species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or
designated critical habitat.
A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having
similar physical impacts) that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)
(c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a Biological
Evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may
affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended
contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12 and on our office's website
at https://www.fws.gov/asheville/htmls/project_review/assessment_guidance.html.
If a Federal agency (or their non-federal representative) determines, based on the Biological
Assessment or Biological Evaluation, that listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be
affected by the proposed project, the agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to
50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service recommends that candidate species, proposed species, and
proposed critical habitat be addressed within the consultation. More information on the
regulations and procedures for section 7 consultation, including the role of permit or license
applicants, can be found in the "Endangered Species Consultation Handbook" at: http://
www.fws.gov/endangered/esa-library/pdf/TOC-GLOS.PDF.
Though the bald eagle is no longer protected under the Endangered Species Act, please be aware
that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16
U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require additional consultation (see
https://www.fws.gov/southeast/our-services/permits/eagles/). Wind energy projects should follow
the wind energy guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/) for minimizing impacts to
migratory birds (including bald and golden eagles) and bats.
Guidance for minimizing impacts to migratory birds for projects including communications
towers (e.g., cellular, digital television, radio, and emergency broadcast) can be found at: http://

Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project
planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Tracking Number in

Endangered Species Act Species
There is a total of 5 threatened, endangered, or candidate species on this species list.
Species on this list should be considered in an effects analysis for your project and could include
species that exist in another geographic area. For example, certain fish may appear on the species
list because a project could affect downstream species.
IPaC does not display listed species or critical habitats under the sole jurisdiction of NOAA
Fisheries , as USFWS does not have the authority to speak on behalf of NOAA and the
Department of Commerce.
See the "Critical habitats" section below for those critical habitats that lie wholly or partially
within your project area under this office's jurisdiction. Please contact the designated FWS office
if you have questions.

Migratory Birds
Certain birds are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act .
Any person or organization who plans or conducts activities that may result in impacts to
migratory birds, eagles, and their habitats should follow appropriate regulations and consider
implementing appropriate conservation measures, as described below.

The birds listed below are birds of particular concern either because they occur on the USFWS
Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) list or warrant special attention in your project location.
To learn more about the levels of concern for birds on your list and how this list is generated, see
the FAQ below. This is not a list of every bird you may find in this location, nor a guarantee that
every bird on this list will be found in your project area. To see exact locations of where birders
and the general public have sighted birds in and around your project area, visit the E-bird data
mapping tool (Tip: enter your location, desired date range and a species on your list). For
projects that occur off the Atlantic Coast, additional maps and models detailing the relative
occurrence and abundance of bird species on your list are available. Links to additional
information about Atlantic Coast birds, and other important information about your migratory
bird list, including how to properly interpret and use your migratory bird report, can be found
below.
For guidance on when to schedule activities or implement avoidance and minimization measures
to reduce impacts to migratory birds on your list, click on the PROBABILITY OF PRESENCE

FAQ “Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report” before using or attempting
to interpret this report.
Probability of Presence ()
Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability of presence in the 10km grid cell(s) your
project overlaps during a particular week of the year. (A year is represented as 12 4-week
months.) A taller bar indicates a higher probability of species presence. The survey effort (see
below) can be used to establish a level of confidence in the presence score. One can have higher
confidence in the presence score if the corresponding survey effort is also high.
How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps:
The probability of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events in
the week where the species was detected divided by the total number of survey events for
that week. For example, if in week 12 there were 20 survey events and the Spotted Towhee
was found in 5 of them, the probability of presence of the Spotted Towhee in week 12 is
0.25.
To properly present the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of
presence is calculated. This is the probability of presence divided by the maximum
probability of presence across all weeks. For example, imagine the probability of presence
in week 20 for the Spotted Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of presence at week 12
(0.25) is the maximum of any week of the year. The relative probability of presence on
week 12 is 0.25/0.25 = 1; at week 20 it is 0.05/0.25 = 0.2.
The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a statistical
conversion so that all possible values fall between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is the
probability of presence score.
Breeding Season ()
Yellow bars denote a very liberal estimate of the time-frame inside which the bird breeds across
its entire range. If there are no yellow bars shown for a bird, it does not breed in your project
area.
Survey Effort ()
Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of surveys
performed for that species in the 10km grid cell(s) your project area overlaps. The number of
surveys is expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 64 surveys.
No Data ()
A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week.
Survey Timeframe
Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order to ensure delivery of currently relevant
information. The exception to this is areas off the Atlantic coast, where bird returns are based on
all years of available data, since data in these areas is currently much more sparse.

Migratory Birds FAQ
Tell me more about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts
to migratory birds.
Nationwide Conservation Measures describes measures that can help avoid and minimize
impacts to all birds at any location year round. Implementation of these measures is particularly
important when birds are most likely to occur in the project area. When birds may be breeding in
the area, identifying the locations of any active nests and avoiding their destruction is a very
helpful impact minimization measure. To see when birds are most likely to occur and be breeding
in your project area, view the Probability of Presence Summary. Additional measures and/or
permits may be advisable depending on the type of activity you are conducting and the type of
infrastructure or bird species present on your project site.
What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified
location?
The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern
(BCC) and other species that may warrant special attention in your project location.
The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian
Knowledge Network (AKN). The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey, banding,
and citizen science datasets and is queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as
occurring in the 10km grid cell(s) which your project intersects, and that have been identified as
warranting special attention because they are a BCC species in that area, an eagle (Eagle Act
requirements may apply), or a species that has a particular vulnerability to offshore activities or
development.

Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your
project area. It is not representative of all birds that may occur in your project area. To get a list
of all birds potentially present in your project area, please visit the AKN Phenology Tool.
What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds
potentially occurring in my specified location?
The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data
provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). This data is derived from a growing
collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets .
Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information
becomes available. To learn more about how the probability of presence graphs are produced and
how to interpret them, go the Probability of Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me
about these graphs" link.
How do I know if a bird is breeding, wintering, migrating or present year-round in my
project area?
To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding,
wintering, migrating or year-round), you may refer to the following resources: The Cornell Lab
of Ornithology All About Birds Bird Guide, or (if you are unsuccessful in locating the bird of
interest there), the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Neotropical Birds guide. If a bird on your
migratory bird species list has a breeding season associated with it, if that bird does occur in your
project area, there may be nests present at some point within the timeframe specified. If "Breeds
elsewhere" is indicated, then the bird likely does not breed in your project area.
What are the levels of concern for migratory birds?
Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern:
"BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) that are of concern
throughout their range anywhere within the USA (including Hawaii, the Pacific Islands,
Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands);
"BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation
Regions (BCRs) in the continental USA; and
"Non-BCC - Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on
your list either because of the Eagle Act requirements (for eagles) or (for non-eagles)
potential susceptibilities in offshore areas from certain types of development or activities
(e.g. offshore energy development or longline fishing).
Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made,
in particular, to avoid and minimize impacts to the birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC
species of rangewide concern. For more information on conservation measures you can
implement to help avoid and minimize migratory bird impacts and requirements for eagles,
please see the FAQs for these topics.
Details about birds that are potentially affected by offshore projects
05/08/2020 Event Code: 04EN1000-2020-E-01391 5
For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species
and groups of bird species within your project area off the Atlantic Coast, please visit the
Northeast Ocean Data Portal. The Portal also offers data and information about other taxa besides
birds that may be helpful to you in your project review. Alternately, you may download the bird
model results files underlying the portal maps through the NOAA NCCOS Integrative Statistical
Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic
Outer Continental Shelf project webpage.
Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use
throughout the year, including migration. Models relying on survey data may not include this
information. For additional information on marine bird tracking data, see the Diving Bird Study
and the nanotag studies or contact Caleb Spiegel or Pam Loring.
What if I have eagles on my list?
If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid
violating the Eagle Act should such impacts occur.
Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report
The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of
birds of priority concern. To learn more about how your list is generated, and see options for
identifying what other birds may be in your project area, please see the FAQ “What does IPaC
use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location”. Please be
aware this report provides the “probability of presence” of birds within the 10 km grid cell(s) that
overlap your project; not your exact project footprint. On the graphs provided, please also look
carefully at the survey effort (indicated by the black vertical bar) and for the existence of the “no
data” indicator (a red horizontal bar). A high survey effort is the key component. If the survey
effort is high, then the probability of presence score can be viewed as more dependable. In
contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar means a lack of data and, therefore, a lack of
certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply a starting point for
identifying what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area, when they might
be there, and if they might be breeding (which means nests might be present). The list helps you
know what to look for to confirm presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement
conservation measures to avoid or minimize potential impacts from your project activities,
should presence be confirmed. To learn more about conservation measures, visit the FAQ “Tell
me about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory
birds” at the bottom of your migratory bird trust resources page.

3. Project Description
3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: The
project site is located within CPC’s existing petroleum pipeline Charlotte Facility which is comprised of numerous petroleum storage
tanks, pumps, valves, pipelines, as well as the facility’s administrative/operation office. The stream of concern is an unnamed
intermittent tributary to Gum Branch.
3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property: 0.35-acre
3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property: 525 linear feet
3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
To ensure facility access road integrity which is needed for normal operations as well as emergency responses, the stream and streambank requires
restoration and stabilization (NWP 27) to prevent continued bank erosion. As designed by Engineering 303, restoration of the above stream segment
[approximately 303 linear feet (LF)] will be accomplished using “natural channel design” and construction techniques (Appendix A).
3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The project site is located within CPC’s existing petroleum pipeline Charlotte Facility which is comprised of numerous petroleum
storage tanks, pumps, valves, pipelines, as well as the facility’s administrative/operation office. The stream of concern is an unnamed
intermittent tributary to Gum Branch. The unnamed intermittent stream flows west through a culvert at CPC’s east fence line
(Photograph No. 1), into a concrete lined channel, and flows directly west towards the access road where it takes a 90 degree turn
(Photograph No. 2) and flows north paralleling the access road. The combination of the concrete lined channel’s stream energy
flowing directly at the access road along with the sharp 90 degree turn resulting in intense erosive forces during high flow eve nts has
caused severe erosion of the streambank and is undercutting the facility access road.
To ensure facility access road integrity which is needed for normal operations as well as emergency responses, the stream and streambank requires
restoration and stabilization (NWP 27) to prevent continued bank erosion. As designed by Engineering 303, restoration of the above stream segment
[approximately 303 linear feet (LF)] will be accomplished using “natural channel design” and construction techniques (Appendi x A).
The stream restoration will result in a slight “net gain” of aquatic habitat; i.e., 300 LF to 303 LF of the unnamed intermittent tributary
and no significant change to the of emergent wetland area. Corblu respectfully requests authorization for the above -referenced project
under NWP No. 27 for the CPC Charlotte Facility stream restoration effort (Figure 6; Appendix A). The a ppropriate figures and
photographs are enclosed for your review.
All heavy equipment will work from upland areas. Equipment to be used will be an excavator and hand tools.

the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.
No wastewater will be generated for the proposed stream restoration project.
5. Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat (Corps Requirement)
5a. Will this project occur in or near an area with federally protected species or
habitat?
Yes No
5b. Have you checked with the USFWS concerning Endangered Species Act
impacts?
Yes No
5c. If yes, indicate the USFWS Field Office you have contacted.
5d. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical
Habitat?
Corblu conducted a literature and records review of information available from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) con cerning the potential
occurrence of federally threatened and endangered species on the project site. Six federally protected species are listed by the USFWS as potentially
occurring in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina: 1) Carolina heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorate); 2) Nor thern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis); 3)
harperella (Ptilimnium nodosum); 4) Michaux’s sumac (Rhus michauxii); 5) Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii); an d 6) smooth coneflower
(Echinacea laevigata). Additionally, an official IPaC species report (Appendix E) was requested from the USFWS for the above referenced project area,
which listed four of the above referenced species that could potentially occur within the area: 1) Carolina heelsplitter; 2) Michaux’s sumac; 3) sunflower
helianthus; and 4) smooth coneflower. The IPaC report also stated that there are no critical habitats within this project area.
The concrete lined unnamed intermittent tributary to Gum Branch does not provide suitable habitat to support the Carolina hee lsplitter. Specifically, the
subject stream lacks stable well shaded stream banks as well as clay/sand/gravel substrate. Further, because the project ar ea is within an existing and
maintained petroleum pipeline facility it has been cleared of all trees and is continually mowed for required ongoing maintenance activities and therefore
does not support suitable terrestrial habitat for the remaining listed species.
Further, based on the field survey conducted by Corblu on July 19, 2019, no individuals were observed within the project area for the above listed
species and no critical habitat loss is expected; therefore, no impacts to protected species is anticipated from the propose d project.
6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement)
6a. Will this project occur in or near an area designated as essential fish habitat?
Yes No
6b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Essential Fish Habitat?
USFWS database.
7. Historic or Prehistoric Cultural Resources (Corps Requirement)
7a. Will this project occur in or near an area that the state, federal or tribal
governments have designated as having historic or cultural preservation
status (e.g., National Historic Trust designation or properties significant in
North Carolina history and archaeology)?
Yes No
7b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact historic or archeological resources?
The proposed maintenance activities will be conducted within the existing pipeline facility, which was constructed in the 1960’s and has been previously
disturbed; thus no archeological resource impacts are probable.
8. Flood Zone Designation (Corps Requirement)
8a. Will this project occur in a FEMA-designated 100-year floodplain?
Yes No
8b. If yes, explain how project meets FEMA requirements:
Although the proposed project occurs within the 100-Year floodplain of Lake Jordan, the proposed maintenance activities will
not result in any above grade fill within the regulatory floodway.
8c. What source(s) did you use to make the floodplain determination?
Sources included the FEMA and Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) mappi ng service for the project site in Chatham County.
