PCN Application for NWP 39
Mosaic Village
• Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, NC
Project Description
• The overall project site consists of 2.506 acres of previously developed land located near
uptown Charlotte. Prior to this proposed development, the site was used for industrial and
retail purposes with impervious cover exceeding 2 acres. This application is for a single
and complete project which will result in noo more than minimal individual and
• cumulative adverse effects on the aquatic environment.
Proposed plans for the project include dormitories, parking deck, and street level related
• retail space. Open space and landscaped area is required by the City of Charlotte as a part
of the project. A retaining wall is to be constructed along the west side of the parking
"
deck. The project will consist of constructing a 36
RCP culvert that connects an existing
upstream culvert with an existing downstream culvert.
This activity will result in permanent impacts to 170.61 linear feet of intermittent urban
stream and approximately 0,02 acre of sidestream wetland. The existing intermittent
• stream is severely impaired and all of the flow arises from upstream inlets draining into
approximately 2,500 linear feet of culvert before reaching the site. The stream is within
the confines of a straightened trapezoidal conveyance which has a constructed bank
height of approximately five feet on one side and approximately twenty feet on the other.
The project area is a single un-named tributary to Irwin Creek. The stream has been
observed on several occasions and has been determined to be intermittent with scores of
• over 19 on the most recent NC Division of Water Quality Stream Identification forms.
The stream does not exhibit important aquatic functions and values. Aquatic life in the
forms of fish, crayfish, mussels, or benthos were not observed in this stream. Generally
weak flow is expected during most parts of the year except following storm events.
Project Purpose and Need
The purpose and need for this project includes the following: 1) to provide necessary
• dormitory rooms, and parking for nearby Johnson C. Smith University, 2) to provide
needed retail space for the JCSU students and for the surrounding community, 3) to
improve the stormwater system, and 4) to provide landscape and public open space.
•
Avoidance and Minimization
The plans originally considered leaving the stream entirely open, thus avoiding any
impacts. It would result in significant additional local buffer requirements thus rendering
• the project not feasible. Then as a means of minimizing impacts, it was considered to
install the upper 149 linear feet of culvert only. This was found to be not practicable since
it would leave a portion of open channel which was only 21 feet long and in a hole which
• was essentially 20 feet deep. The remaining segment of stream would have no aquatic
function or value and would become a hazard and an eyesore due to difficulty of
maintenance. Also, this alternative would require the construction of a significantly

higher retaining wall on the southwest corner of the parking deck adding greatly to the
engineering costs of the project.
Project Alternatives
Alternative 1 - No Action
This alternative was considered and if the stream were left open, it would result in
significant additional local buffer requirements thus rendering the project not feasible.
For this reason, this alternative was not selected as it would not satisfy the project
purpose and need.
Alternative 2 - Install the upper 149 linear feet of culvert only.
This Alternative was considered and was found to be not practicable since it would leave
a portion of open channel which was only 21 feet long and in a hole which was
essentially 20 feet deep. The remaining segment of stream would have no aquatic
function or value and would become a hazard and an eyesore due to difficulty of
maintenance. Also, this alternative would require the construction of a significantly
higher retaining wall on the southwest corner of the parking deck adding greatly to the
engineering costs of the project.
Alternative 3 (Preferred Alternative - Connect the upstream culvert to the downstream
culvert and re-direct on-site stormwater into the new culvert. This alternative has been
selected as the preferred alternative because it satisfies the project purpose and need and
reduces the need for additional buffer and additional retaining wall expense. This
alternative will impact 170.61 linear feet of intermittent stream and approximately 0.02
acre of sidestream wetland area.
Proposed Mitigation
The project will impact 170.61 linear feet of intermittent stream which is severely
degraded and impaired and does not exhibit Important aquatic functions and values. The
applicant proposes to utilize the NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program to provide
mitigation for 171 linear feet of warm water intermittent stream.

Subject: Request for determination
Steve and Alan,
I recently reviewed a small property near uptown Charlotte for the presence
or streams or wetlands as described in the attached report. Almost the entire
site was paved parking and building foundations. There was one drainage
feature in the southeast corner of the site in the bottom of a deep, straight
trapezoidal channel. There was flow in the bottom and some sidestream
saturated area. I have determined in a preliminary manner that this is
feature is a degraded urban stormwater conveyance since it does not appear to
have more than a speculative or an insubstantial effect on the chemical,
physical, and/or biological, integrity of a TNW. The owner of the property
will need to know if you would consider this to be jurisdictional since it
will have an affect on many other aspects of the project. He will need to
know this before he can proceed with preparation of design documents and
coordination with the city. Appropriate stormwater management measures are a
part of further project design from the standpoint of water quality.
Although the drainage feature has been determined to be a "degraded urban
stormwater conveyance", actual field forms from the Corps and NCDWQ were used
to evaluate it. These forms indicate that it satisfies the definition of an
intermittent stream with sidestream wetland area. It does not appear as a
stream on USGS quad maps, USDA-NRCS soils maps, USFWS National Wetland
Inventory maps, Mecklenburg County Polaris GIS, or any other maps that were
researched. The 1967 USGS map indicates the topography of a natural valley
may have originally existed that is likely large enough to support
intermittent flow. Since the drainage feature occurs in a straightened
trapezoidal channel which is only open for a short distance, there is no
stream features within the upper watershed, and has a culvert at the upper
end and lower end, the primary function and purpose is that of a stormwater
conveyance. There was no aquatic life observed and has minimal sidestream
buffer. According to the survey plat drawings, all surface flow is derived
from a stormwater collection system. Large double culverts appear to have
been engineered to carry a large amount of peak flow.
Persistent base flow in the channel as indicated by the presence of some
algae and iron oxidizing bacteria could be coming from a number of sources. A
springhead could have been tapped when the piping and ditching originally
occurred. The trapezoidal ditch could have been originally cut to the depth
of groundwater that would sustain the flow between storm events. Or, a water
main leak could be occurring at some point upstream. This could be determined
if the water in the channel contains a significant amount of chlorine.

Based on the photo/form, it appears to be at least intermittent. 1/10 or
2/10 rain event isn't a large event and the document states 48 hrs after
the event. It may not be pretty, but over time a channel/stream has
formed. One of those slaw/seepy kind of headwater channel.
If you think it is necessary, I'll be glad to go take a look.

Subject: Request for Records Search - Mosaic Village
Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Tompkins:
On behalf of the Applicant for West End Investments - Charlotte, LLC, I am hereby contacting the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service regarding the presence of any federally-listed, or candidate endangered
or threatened species, or critical habitat within the referenced project area. The project is located at the
southwest corner of the intersection of Bruns Avenue and Trade Street in Charlotte, Mecklenburg
County, NC, and consists of approximately 2.506 acres. The attached USGS Site Location Map
illustrates the approximate location of the project area. The site is located at latitude 35.2392 and
longitude -80.8593. The Applicant is proposing to culvert approximately 170.61 if of impaired urban
intermittent stream which has been reviewed by the NCDWQ and by the USACE.
Maps have been attached which show soil series and aerial photography for the site. The purpose of
this project is to re-develop a former commercial site into dormitories, parking deck, and retail. The
existing site consists almost entirely of paved area and building foundations. No structures exist on site
at this time. The southwest corner of the site is vegetated with black willow, privet, and kudzu.
I have conducted an online search of the database of the NC Natural Heritage Program for the presence
of known occurrences of protected species, Significant Natural Heritage Areas, and Managed Areas
within a two mile radius of the site. The attached map indicates that the database has no record of these
occurrences. I have also conducted a site visit and observed no listed species or suitable habitat.
Could you please provide a written 'response concerning the known presence of federally-listed, or
candidate endangered or threatened species, or critical habitat within or near the project area. Thank
you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
?-. A 'f)
