BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The project area is located behind commercial businesses at 5007 and 5009 Monroe
Road, upstream of a 5' by 3' elliptical culvert that drains under the parking lot of the
Lake Hill Apartment Complex. The southwest portion of the project area is bordered by
maintained lawn and a parking lot located behind commercial properties on Monroe
Road. To the east, the project is bounded by a small wooded lot and the Oakhurst Baptist
Church and its parking lot located on Eaton Street. The upstream watershed consists of
commercial properties located on Monroe road as well as adjacent residential properties.
The location of the project area is depicted on the Site Vicinity Map (Figure 1), the
appropriate portions of the Charlotte East. N.C (1991) USGS Topographic Map (Figure
2), and a 2009 Aerial Photograph (Figure 3).
In 2005 CSWS retrofitted Shade Valley Pond, located at Monroe Road and Shade Valley
Drive, as a storm water BMP in order to provide water quality benefits to the Briar Creek
watershed. Since construction, excessive sediment deposition within the pond forebay
has required excavation one to two times per year (see Photo 6, Appendix III). This
excessive sedimentation alerted CSWS to the poor channel condition and bank erosion
along the upstream channel within the project area. In order to improve the condition of
the channel and alleviate this sediment source, CSWS hired Collins and Baker Engineers
to design a channel stabilization / stream restoration plan in accordance with natural
channel design principals.
FIELD OBSERVATIONS
On February 4, 2010 S&ME personnel visited the site and conducted a delineation to
determine the location of jurisdictional streams and wetlands within the project area. The
determination was conducted utilizing currently accepted methods as set forth in the 1987
Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual. Stream assessments were conducted
in accordance with DWQ and USACE guidelines. Results of the determination are
depicted on Figures 3 and 4; representative photographs of the project area are included
in Appendix III and their locations are noted on Figure 3.
Field review identified one jurisdictional, relatively permanent water (Stream 1) that
exhibits intermittent/seasonal flow within the project area. Stream 1 originates at the
confluence of two non jurisdictional, ephemeral storm water drainages (see Photo 3,
Appendix III). The northern storm water drainage originates at a riprapped outfall
associated with a culvert under the Oakhurst Baptist Church parking lot and continues
through an actively eroding gully spanned by a thick cover of privet (Ligustrum sinense)
roots and Wisteria (Wisteria sinensis) vines (see Photo 2). The southern ephemeral
channel emerges from a culvert under a walkway behind the church and continues down
a riprap lined outfall to the origin of Stream l (see Photo 1). Additionally, the hillside
between these drainages has experienced considerable mass wasting and erosion.
Downstream of its origin, Stream I passes though a semi-open, canopied forested area
dominated by privet and invasive vines. The channel is deeply incised to the extent that
it has cut down to base material in many locations (Photo 4). Both banks are near-

Shade Valley Stream Enhancement, Charlotte, N.C. February 22, 2010
vertical, exposed, and actively eroding throughout most of the channel. In multiple
locations, gullies in the bank have eroded into adjacent uplands and collapsed large
pockets of riparian vegetation. Geomorphic structures within the channel are poorly
defined and the standard riffle pool sequencing was not observed. The channel continues
for 410 linear feet (If) before it flows into the culvert under parking lot of the Lake Hill
Apartment Complex and into the forebay of Shade Valley Pond. For approximately 100
If prior to flowing into the culvert, the channel cuts though maintained lawn behind the
apartment complex (Photo 5). Stream 1 has a drainage area of approximately 13 acres,
most of which consists of commercial properties, residencies, roadway, and parking lots.
An Approved Jurisdictional Determination form was prepared and incorporated with this
PCN for verification, and is included in Appendix IV. Jurisdictional waters identified
within the project area are depicted on Figure 3. A completed DWQ Stream
Identification Form and USACE Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet are included in
Appendix V.
PROPOSED PROJECT IMPACTS
The proposed channel enhancement design will result in 4101f of temporary stream
impact to Stream 1. The restored channel is designed to be a geomorphically stable
Rosgen B3 stream type (a moderately entrenched, cobble dominated stream). The
downstream 3831f of the design involves grading of the banks to establish the proper
cross sectional dimension, installation of five cross vane pool structures, and installation
of constructed cobble riffles between the cross vanes. The "end-of-pipe" nature of the
restoration reach implies introduction of no upstream bed material; for this reason,
installation of coarse material (D50 = 4 inches) in riffles was deemed necessary to prevent
transport of in-stream sediment causing the eventual degradation of the channel.
Upstream of the cross vane / constructed riffle channel, a step-pool structure will be
installed. This will impact 271f of the Stream 1 and the northernmost non jurisdictional
storm drainage up to its culvert outfall origin. Additional riprap will be installed
throughout the southernmost non jurisdictional stormwater drainage, and the culvert that
serves as its origin will be replaced.
Following bank grading and in stream structure installation, erosion control fabric will be
installed over stream banks, benches, and terrace slopes, and a riparian seed mix will be
applied.
A plan view summary of the proposed temporary impacts is outlined in Figure 4. Full
construction plan, profile, cross section, and planting details for the proposed project are
included in Appendix II.
PROTECTED SPECIES AND CULTURAL RESOURCES
Protected Species
S&ME's consideration of potential protected species habitat began with review of
existing records obtained from federal and state sources. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife
Service (USFWS) list of federally protected species (updated May 10, 2007) was
consulted for a listing of protected species documented within Mecklenburg County,
North Carolina. This review identified four protected species, three plants and one

As part of the protected species review, S&ME also consulted the North Carolina Natural
Heritage Program (NCNHP) Geographic Information Systems (GIS) database Virtual
Workroom and Element Occurrence (EO) Database for a listing of endangered or
threatened species EOs within or near the project area. This review found no EOs
pertaining to federally or state protected species on record within a two-mile radius of the
project area.
S&ME completed a field reconnaissance of the project area on February 4, 2010. This
effort revealed the project area consists primarily of wooded areas and adjacent
maintained lawns. Wooded canopy is not the preferred habitat for the plant species of
concern, and none of the three listed plant species were observed. Furthermore, the
wooded areas within the project area were highly impacted by heavy growth of invasive
vegetation. Based on the level of recent and continued disturbance, the project area was
not considered to provide potential habitat for protected terrestrial species with a
likelihood of occurring in Mecklenburg County.
Though the Carolina heelsplitter is listed (historically) for Mecklenburg County, the
proposed project involves impacts to Stream 1, an unnamed tributary to Edwards Branch,
and will not impact streams that drain to known populations of Carolina heelsplitter or its
designated critical habitat. No documented occurrences of Carolina heelsplitter are
known for Edwards Branch or its tributaries. Accordingly, the proposed project is not
anticipated to impact this species or its designated Critical Habitat.
A copy of this PCN and attachments will be forwarded to the USFWS to provide an
opportunity for comment on the proposed project.
Cultural Resources
S&ME reviewed the Mecklenburg County POLARIS GIS website layers pertaining to
cultural resources. Layers reviewed included the Charlotte historic districts, historical
properties, and historical cemeteries. One historical cemetery, Sharon Memorial Park
Cemetery, was identified approximately 0.3 mile from the project site. This distance puts
the cemetery well outside of the viewshed of the project, and would be considered well
4

Shade Valley Stream Enhancement. Charlotte. N.C. February 22, 2010
outside of the area of potential impact given the highly urban land use between the
project and the cemetery.
A copy of this PCN and attachments will be forwarded to the State Historic Preservation
Office (SHPO) to provide an opportunity for comment on the proposed project.
AVOIDANCE AND MINIMIZATION
In order to minimize impacts to jurisdictional waters, stabilization of the channel will be
achieved through natural channel design principals rather than hard armoring of the
banks. Bank armoring with riprap will be limited to non jurisdictional channels.
Restoration plans for this channel have been specifically designed to minimize tree
removal; all trees outside of the cut slopes are to be protected by the installing contractor.
The project will not disturb the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
designated 100-year floodplain or result in impacts to the existing Surface Water
Improvement and Management (SWIM) Buffer.
REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS
Appropriate sediment and erosion control practices outlined in the most recent version of
the "North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual" and
approved by the local governing authority will be in compliance with specifications
governing the proper design, installation, operation and maintenance of such Best
Management Practices to comply with the appropriate turbidity water quality standard.
Sediment and erosion control measures placed in waters will be removed and the original
grade restored within two months after the Division of Land Resources has released the
project. Impacts have been avoided and minimized, and appropriate measures will be
taken during construction to allow flow and circulation patterns of waters of the U.S. to
remain unaffected.
Following construction, temporarily-disturbed upland areas will be restored to original
grade and elevation. Excess material will be removed to a high ground disposal area.
The proposed project will not result in additional impervious surface, and no permanent
or temporary impacts to wetlands are anticipated.
MITIGATION
The proposed project has been designed according to natural channel design principals in
order to improve the stability, stream habitat, and ecological condition of Stream I and
the upstream non jurisdictional channels that feed it. The project will result in no loss of
waters of the United States. Based on our experience with similar projects, we do not
anticipate that compensatory mitigation for the proposed project is required. Although
the project consists of stream enhancement, CSWS is not seeking mitigation credit for
this project.

The purpose of the project is to enhance the geomorphic condition of Stream 1 and halt the ongoing bank erosion
problems associated with the stream, thus improving water quality and alleviating downstream sedimentation.
3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The project proposed is a natural channel design enhancement of the stream to a geomorphically stable Rosgen B3 type
channel. Specifically this entails the installation of a rock step pool structure along a steep gradient section of channel.
Downstream of the step pool structure, five rock cross vane / scour pool structures will be installed in the stream, between
which constructed cobble riffle areas will be installed. The banks along the channel will be graded back to shallower,
more stable slopes consistent with a B3 type channel, covered with bionet erosion control fabric, and seeded.
Equipment likely to be used on the job includes trackhoes, dozers, trucks, and excavators.

Explain:
' Boxes checked below shall be supported by completing the appropriate sections in Section III below.
s For purposes of this form, an RPW is defined as a tributary that is not a TNW and that typically flows year-round or has continuous flow at least "seasonally"
(e.g., typically 3 months).
3 Supporting documentation is presented in Section III.F.
SECTION ID: CWA ANALYSIS
A. TNWs AND WETLANDS ADJACENT TO TNWs
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over TNWs and wetlands adjacent to TNWs. If the aquatic resource is a TNW, complete
Section HI.A.1 and Section IH.D.1. only; if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW, complete Sections HI.A.1 and 2
and Section HI.D.L; otherwise, see Section HI.B below.
1. TNW
Identify TNW:
Summarize rationale supporting determination:
2. Wetland adjacent to TNW
Summarize rationale supporting conclusion that wetland is "adjacent":
B. CHARACTERISTICS OF TRIBUTARY (THAT IS NOT A TNW) AND ITS ADJACENT WETLANDS (IF ANY):
This section summarizes information regarding characteristics of the tributary and its adjacent wetlands, if any, and it helps
determine whether or not the standards for jurisdiction established under Rapanos have been met.
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over non-navigable tributaries of TNWs where the tributaries are "relatively permanent
waters" (RPWs), i.e. tributaries that typically flow year-round or have continuous flow at least seasonally (e.g., typically 3
months). A wetland that directly abuts an RPW is also jurisdictional. If the aquatic resource is not a TNW, but has year-round
(perennial) flow, skip to Section HI.D.2. If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow,
skip to Section HI.D.4.
A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abut an RPW requires a significant nexus evaluation. Corps districts and
EPA regions will include in the record any available information that documents the existence of a significant nexus between a
relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial (and its adjacent wetlands if any) and a traditional navigable water, even
though a significant nexus finding is not required as a matter of law.
If the waterbody4 is not an RPW, or a wetland directly abutting an RPW, a JD will require additional data to determine if the
waterbody has a significant nexus with a TNW. If the tributary has adjacent wetlands, the significant nexus evaluation must
consider the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands. This significant nexus evaluation that combines, for
analytical purposes, the tributary and all of its adjacent wetlands is used whether the review area identified in the JD request is
the tributary, or its adjacent wetlands, or both. If the JD covers a tributary with adjacent wetlands, complete Section M.B.1 for
the tributary, Section HI.B.2 for any onsite wetlands, and Section HI.B.3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary, both onsite
and offsite. The determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section IH.C below.

(i) General Area Conditions:
Watershed size: 13 acres
Drainage area: 45 acres
Average annual rainfall: 43 inches

5 Flow route can be described by identifying, e.g., tributary a, which flows through the review area, to flow into tributary b, which then flows into TNW.
6A natural or man-made discontinuity in the OHWM does not necessarily sever jurisdiction (e.g., where the stream temporarily flows underground, or where
the OHWM has been removed by development or agricultural practices). Where there is a break in the OHWM that is unrelated to the waterbody's flow
regime (e.g., flow over a rock outcrop or through a culvert), the agencies will look for indicators of flow above and below the break.

Summarize overall biological, chemical and physical functions being performed:
C. SIGNIFICANT NEXUS DETERMINATION
A significant nexus analysis will assess the flow characteristics and functions of the tributary itself and the functions performed
by any wetlands adjacent to the tributary to determine if they significantly affect the chemical, physical, and biological integrity
of a TNW. For each of the following situations, a significant nexus exists if the tributary, in combination with all of its adjacent
wetlands, has more than a speculative or insubstantial effect on the chemical, physical and/or biological integrity of a TNW.
Considerations when evaluating significant nexus include, but are not limited to the volume, duration, and frequency of the flow
of water in the tributary and its proximity to a TNW, and the functions performed by the tributary and all its adjacent
wetlands. It is not appropriate to determine significant nexus based solely on any specific threshold of distance (e.g. between a
tributary and its adjacent wetland or between a tributary and the TNW). Similarly, the fact an adjacent wetland lies within or
outside of a floodplain is not solely determinative of significant nexus.
Draw connections between the features documented and the effects on the TNW, as identified in the Rapanos Guidance and
discussed in the Instructional Guidebook. Factors to consider include, for example:
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to carry pollutants or flood waters to
TNWs, or to reduce the amount of pollutants or flood waters reaching a TNW?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), provide habitat and lifecycle support functions for fish and
other species, such as feeding, nesting, spawning, or rearing young for species that are present in the TNW?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to transfer nutrients and organic carbon that
support downstream foodwebs?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have other relationships to the physical, chemical, or
biological integrity of the TNW?
Note: the above list of considerations is not inclusive and other functions observed or known to occur should be documented
below:
1. Significant nexus findings for non-RPW that has no adjacent wetlands and flows directly or indirectly into TNWs. Explain
findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary itself, then go to Section III.D:
2. Significant nexus findings for non-RPW and its adjacent wetlands, where the non-RPW flows directly or indirectly into
TNWs. Explain findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary in combination with all of its
adjacent wetlands, then go to Section III.D:
3. Significant nexus findings for wetlands adjacent to an RPW but that do not directly abut the RPW. Explain findings of
presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands, then go to
Section III.D: .

Instruction for completion of worksheet (located on page 2):
Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the
same ecoregion. Assign points to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the characteristics
identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or
weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under
review (e.g., the stream flows from the pasture into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to
evaluate each reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the highest quality.
Total Score (from reverse): 28 Comments: No macrobenthos were observed. Channel is rapidly eroding
