The Little Hope Creek Sewer Improvements Phase II project limits consist of a variable width, 12,100-foot long corridor beginning at Seneca Place, and extending northward along the
floodplain of Little Hope Creek to Belton Street (Figures 1 and 2, Attachment A).
The project area consists of undeveloped forested areas and a sewer easement. On -site elevations range from 630-640 feet above mean sea level (Figure 2). Land cover within the
project area consists of mixed forest and deciduous forest (Figure 3). The surrounding land use consists of undeveloped forested areas, multi -and single family housing developments,
and commercial properties.
According to the United States Department of Agriculture - Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS) Web Soil Survey of Mecklenburg County (Figure 4) and the NRCS
Published Soil Survey for Mecklenburg County (Figure 5), on -site soils consist of eight soil
types. Of these soils, Monacan loam (MO) is listed on the Web Soil Survey as containing hydric inclusions.
A review of the NWI GIS layer depicts a freshwater forested/shrub wetland and a riverine system flowing on and off of the project limits for the length of the site (Figure 6)
FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer was reviewed for the project area (FEMA Panel 3710454200K). The southern half of the study area is located in the 1 % annual chance flood hazard
and regulatory floodway (Figure 7).
Based on the results of wetland delineation performed by Carolina Wetland Services, there are five jurisdictional waters of the U.S. located within the project boundary totaling
apprommately 0.13 acres, including 637 linear feet of jurisdictional stream channel (Figures 8-813).
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?*

4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The Little Hope Creek Sewer Improvements Phase II project involves installing a new sewerline running along Little Hope Creek. The proposed sewerline will be placed next to an
eAsting deteriorating sewerline that will be abandoned. This project will provide for future wastewater needs in the City of Charlotte.
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
Under Nationwide Permit (NWP) No. 12, proposed stream impacts associated with this sewerline construction project are due to 21 open cut stream crossings (S1-S42). All of the stream
crossings will be temporary.
The proposed impacts and construction plan details are included in the Attachment F. The proposed impacts are described in detail below.
Stream Impacts (S1-S42)
All stream sewerline crossings will be constructed via open trench. The temporary impacts were calculated based on the width of the construction corridor and will include the temporary
dewatering devices required in order to construct the sewerline in the dry, temporary stream crossings, sewerline installation, and bank stabilization. Proposed temporary stream
impacts total 371 linear feet.
All areas disturbed by the work shall be re -graded to leave the area in a smooth condition, sloped for drainage and stabilized. All impacted stream banks shall be permanently stabilized
with rip rap belowthe ordinary high water mark and seeding and mulch with woven coir net above the ordinary high water mark. The limits of rip rap stabilization will be limited to 10
linear feet along stream banks per crossing, totaling 210 linear feet for the entire project. Riprap will be keyed at the level of wasting grade (Sheet 21, Attachment F). The project is
located within urban watershed, therefore rip rap below the ordinary high water mark is required to protect the installed utility crossing. The proposed utility crossings will not result in
any permanent loss of waters of the U.S.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation

1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Impacts to on -site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent practicable. The Little Hope Creek Sewer Improvements
Phase II project has been designed to avoid impacts to jurisdictional waters wherever possible and minimize the extent of necessary impacts to
jurisdictional waters. The following paragraph outlines the alternatives analysis and avoidance and minimization efforts undertaken during the planning
and design phase of this project.
The proposed stream crossings are perpendicular or near perpendicular, and there will be no permanent crossings
Trenchless boring under the creek was considered, but this carries the risk of "blow out" of the stream bed where bore pressures exceed the capacity
of the stream bed. Therefore, boring the proposed stream crossings would greatly increase the safety risk to persons and property during
construction, as well as the potential environmental impacts as compared with a more controlled open trench installation. Therefore, the trenchless
boring option was abandoned from further consideration.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Best Management Practices (BMP's) will be implemented during construction to avoid further Impacts. The construction corridor within jurisdictional
waters of the U.S. will be limited to a maximum width of 40 feet.
Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to downstream waters. All channel work will be constructed in the
dry in accordance with Water Quality Certification No. 4133.
All impacted stream banks shall be permanently stabilized with rip rap belowthe ordinary high water mark and seeding and mulch with woven coir net
above the ordinary high water mark. The limits of rip rap stabilization will be limited to 10 linear feet along stream banks per crossing. Riprap will be
keyed at the level of existing grade.

5j. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat?
To determine which protected species are listed as occurring or potentially occurring within the project vicinity and prior to conducting the on -site field
investigation, CWS consulted the United States Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS) Endangered and Threatened Species and Species of Concern by
County for North Carolina online database for Mecklenburg County. In addition, CWS performed a data review using the North Carolina Natural
Heritage Program (NCNHP) Data Explorer to determine if any record occurrences of federally -listed, candidate endangered, threatened species, or
critical habitat were located within the project limits and conducted a habitat assessment within the study area. The results of the desktop review and
habitat assessment are included in the Protected Species Habitat Assessment report (Attachment G).
