The project proposes to build a new greenway facility for approximately one mile alongside Irvins Creek. The project will improve accessibility between Sam Newell Road, Crown Point
Elementary School and Idlewild Road Park. The greenway will begin where Irvins Creek crosses Idlewild Road and continues north and west to an existing recreation field west of Sam
Newell Road. The trail will be a 12-foot wide asphalt path with sections of boardwalk or pedestrian bridges to cross existing streams. Additional project elements will include new
landscaping, overlook points, improvements to an existing parking facility, storm water controls, and stream bank stabilization of approximately 114 linear feet (LF) on Irvins Creek.
Excavators and skid steers may be used during grading activities. Proposed greenway crossings of streams will involve the construction of raised boardwalk and a prefabricated bridge.
Boardwalk sections will be supported by driven timber piers. The bridge crossing will span top of bank to top of bank of Irvins Creek. Steel pilings will be driven in beyond top of bank to
support bridge approaches. The installation of riprap for bank stabilization will be limited to approximately 114 LF and includes the area immediately at the proposed bridge and a
section of unstable left bank immediately upstream.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
31. Total temporary stream impacts:
55
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The greenway alignment design incorporated the location of delineated streams and wetland in order to avoid these features as much as possible.
Proposed stream crossings consist of either a bridge or raised boardwalk. The one bridge crossing will span top of bank to top of bank of Irvins Creek.
Steel pilings will be driven in beyond the top of bank to support the bridge. Riprap bank stabilization proposed at the bridge crossing has been
minimized to the area immediately at the bridge and a portion of the left bank immediately upstream that is currently unstable. Boardwalk sections will
be constructed using driven timber pilings to avoid impacts.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Construction practices will follow guidelines from the NC Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual. Boardwalk crossings will be
supported by timber piers that will be driven in to avoid discharge. Steel bridge pilings will be installed outside of the top of bank of Irvins Creek to
avoid impacts. Mud mats will be used for temporary construction access across streams.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
u
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?
t^ Yes r No

2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
Mitigation should not be required because project design has avoided impacts to streams and wetlands to the mabmum extent practicable. Wetlands were completely avoided and
where stream crossings are necessary bridge or boardwalk is proposed. Riprap bank stabilization is limited to areas immediately at the bridge and a short section of unstable left bank
immediately upstream. Proposed stabilization won't result in a loss of waters
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
la. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
r Yes
r No
If no, explain why:
The project is located in the Catawba River basin where only the mainstem of the Catawba River has associated NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules. The project area is on a smaller
tributary (Irvins Creek) to the Catawba River with no NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules.
2. Stormwater Management Plan
2a. Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250?*

location of this activity on the property.
The project will not involve blasting but will include short periods of percussive activities. The
percussive activities include pile driving timber piers for two boardwalk stream crossings and steel
pilings at one proposed bridge crossing. Installation may be completed with a gravity hammer,
pneumatic hammer, and/or vibratory hammer. Installation of all timber piers for boardwalks should
take approximately one to two days. The steel pilings at the bridge crossing should also take one to
two days to install. Attached is a figure of the three locations where percussive activities will occur.

Irvins Creek Greenway— Idlewild Road to Lakewood Circle
Charlotte, North Carolina
Dear Ms. Gledhill -Earley:
On behalf of Mecklenburg County Asset and Facility Management (AFM), Wildlands Engineering, Inc. requests
review and comment on any possible issues that might emerge with respect to archaeological or cultural resources
associated with the Irvins Creek Greenway — Idlewild Road to Lakewood Circle project in Mecklenburg County, NC.
A USGS Topographic Map and an Overview Site Map showing the approximate project area are enclosed. The
topographic figure was prepared from the Wilgrove 7.5-Minute USGS Topographic Quadrangle, and the site is
located at latitude 35.159, longitude-80.708.
The Irvins Creek Greenway project is being developed to build a new greenway facility for approximately 1.0 mile
alongside Irvins Creek. The project will improve accessibility between Sam Newell Road, Crown Point Elementary
School and Idlewild Road Park. In addition, project elements will include new landscaping, overlook points, a
pedestrian bridge crossing, improvements to an existing parking facility, storm water controls, and stream bank
stabilization of approximately 300 linear feet (LF) on Irvins Creek. Construction of this project will affect
Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. and require Section 404/401 permitting.
Structures within or immediately adjacent to the project area include sewer lines and manholes, powerlines, road
culverts, park amenities (walking trails, picnic areas, playground, parking lots, etc.), school building and associated
facilities, storm drainage infrastructure, and residential homes. The surrounding land use includes forest, parks,
school and residential communities.
A portion of the project is located within Mecklenburg County Open Space, which is listed on the NC Natural
Heritage Program Managed Lands. No architectural structures or archaeological artifacts were observed or noted
during preliminary surveys of the site. We ask that you review the site based on the attached information to
determine the presence of any historic properties.
We thank you in advance for your timely response and cooperation. Please feel free to contact us with any
questions that you may have concerning the extent of site disturbance associated with this project.
Sincerely,
. ar
Kirsten Gimbert, Senior Environmental Scientist
