Modification of Existing Authorizations
McKee Interceptor Project

S&ME Project No. 1357-11-006
USACE Action ID No. 200803346
DWQ No. 090463-V3
Dear Mr. Chapin and Mr. McMillan:
S&ME, Inc. (S&ME), working with Woolpert, Inc. (Woolpert) on behalf of the applicant
Charlotte Mecklenburg Utilities (CMU), hereby submits this request to modify existing
authorizations under Nationwide Permit (NWP) No. 12 and corresponding Water Quality
Certification (WQC) 3819. The original permit authorizations were issued in May 2009
(SAW 00803346, DWQ No.090463). Project delays resulted in a subsequent permit
authorization modification (SAW 20083346 and WQC No. 090463-V3) which was
granted in February 2011 authorizing an increase in temporary impacts to two emergent
wetlands. Impact totals for the prior modification were 3.376 acres of temporary impacts
to wetlands (0.05 acre of permanent) and 250 linear feet (If) of temporary stream impacts
(20 if permanent, McKee Creek). Please note that the temporary impacts to wetlands for
the prior modification should have been 2.96 acres (0.05 permanent) and tables outlining
the previously submitted temporary impacts to wetlands versus the amended temporary
impacts for USACE Action ID No.200803346 and DWQ No. 090463-V3 are attached for
clarification.
Since the authorization of the previous permit modification, a new access road has been
designed and it has been determined that additional permanent maintained easement is
needed along the project corridor. Accordingly, proposed temporary and permanent

Land disturbance and temporary placement of fill in wetlands in the construction easement. Wetland will be seeded with the approved restoration
3 seed mix and planted with woody vegetation up to the permanently maintained easement.
See indicated figure number in Appendix II for wetland locations and impacts.
Wetland temporary impacts will decrease to 2.870 acres and permanent impacts will
increase to 0.245. The increase in permanent wetland impacts is attributable to the
conversion of forested and shrub/scrub wetland to emergent wetlands within the new
proposed 30-foot permanently-maintained easement. The decrease in temporary impacts
is attributable to additional permanent impacts at Wetland C which have been deducted
from overall temporary impacts, previously not included. Stream impacts remain the
same as previously authorized, 2601f temporary impacts and 20 if of permanent impacts
along McKee Creek.
Accordingly, this Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) is being submitted to authorize
additional impacts to Waters of the U.S. in accordance with general and specific
conditions pursuant to the aforementioned NWP No. 12 and WQC 3819. In support of
this application please find enclosed the following:
Appendix I - A completed PCN and Agent Authorization Form;
Appendix II - Site Vicinity Map (Figure 1); USGS Topographic Map (Figure 2A
and 213); 2005 Aerial Photographs (Figures 3A and 313); USDA Soil Survey Map

5E); Typical Wetland Involvement Details (Figures 6A and 6B); and Typical
Temporary Stream Crossing Details (Figures 7A through 7C);

impact totals for clarification.
Request for NWP No. 12 and WQC 3819 Modification S&ME Project No. 1357-11-006
McKee Interceptor Project April 8, 2011
Although an unavoidable change in impacts has occurred due to project requirements, the
proposed impacts remain below NWP No. 12 and WQC 3819 thresholds. Permanent
conversion impacts have increased because a larger permanent maintained easement is
necessary to facilitate equipment access for mowing of the easement and in the event
emergency access is needed. In compliance with previous authorizations, temporarily
impacted forested and shrub scrub wetlands will be replanted with woody vegetation up
to the 30-foot maintained easement within one month of pipe installation.
Based on our conversations with as you, and by copy of this PCN, it is our understanding
that this letter will serve to modify an existing authorization to reflect a change in
temporary and permanent impacts, and will replace all previous authorizations associated
with the McKee Interceptor Project. We appreciate your consideration in this matter. If
you have questions, or need further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

The McKee Creek Interceptor project entails installation of approximately 13,010 If of gravity sewer in Cabarrus County.
The proposed section of sewer will be 24 inches in diameter and will convey wastewater parallel to McKee Creek from the
Cabarrus / Mecklenburg County line to the Reedy Creek Interceptor near the confluence of Reedy and McKee Creeks.
Construction will take place in a 60-foot wide cleared construction easement, 30 feet of which will be maintained.
Equipment to be used on the job includes trackhoes, dozers, trucks, sidebooms, welding rigs and boring machines. Upon
completion of the project, a 30-foot wide corridor over the pipeline will be permanently maintained.
The original permit authorizations were issued in May 2009 (SAW 00803346, DWQ No.090463). Project delays resulted
in a subsequent permit authorization modification (SAW 20083346 and WQC No. 090463-V3) which was granted in
February 2011 authorizing an increase in temporary impacts to two emergent wetlands. Impact totals for the prior
modification were 3.376 acres of temporary impacts to wetlands (0.05 acre of permanent) and 250 linear feet of
temporary stream impacts (20If permanent, McKee Creek). Please note that the temporary impacts to wetlands for the

6. Future Project Plans
6a. Is this a phased project? ® Yes ? No
6b. If yes, explain.
The McKee Creek Interceptor is divided into two segments. The downstream segment includes the portion of the McKee
Creek Interceptor in Cabarrus County. The Cabarrus County segment was originally scheduled for construction in 2010 in
support of the incorporation of several private utility systems into the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities public sewer system.
The upstream segment includes additional sewer construction that is proposed for construction Mecklenburg County. The
City of Charlotte has tentative plans to annex additional areas within the McKee Creek Basin in Mecklenburg County in
2011 or later. As the annexation process proceeds, additional private systems will be impacted by the proposed
annexation of new areas and the private utility systems serving these areas are expected to be incorporated into the
Charlotte-Mecklenburg utility system via a sewer extension which will tie into the proposed McKee Creek Interceptor in
Cabarrus County. As construction of the Mecklenburg County phase serves a separate area and will be operating
independently and at a separate time from this segment it is considered a complete and separate project.

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Various alignments along McKee Creek were evaluated. Environmental Constraints Maps (ECM) were prepared to
identify environmental and cultural resources constraints to be considered during the preliminary route-selection process.
Constraints identified in each ECM were largely based on a literature review, with some ground-truthing of areas
identified as wetlands by National Wetlands Inventory mapping. Each ECM identified significant natural resources,
including wetlands, Natural Heritage Areas, and Treasure or Champion Trees, in addition to potential cultural resources.
The final alignment, developed by Woolpert in cooperation with CMU, WSACC, and S&ME, was designed to
avoid/minimize potential impacts to wetlands, watercourses, steep slopes, cultural resources, riparian buffers, and other
identified environmental constraints, to all extents practicable, without compromising engineering requirements.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Appropriate sediment and erosion control methods will be implemented prior to initiation of ground disturbance activities
to reduce potential impacts to water quality. Potential sedimentation of streams adjacent to the sewer interceptor during
and following the construction phase of the project will be minimized by implementation of a State-approved sediment and
erosion control plan. This plan will employ a network of sediment traps, rock dam basins, diversion ditches, and/or silt
fencing to control the export of sediment from the construction corridor to adjacent undisturbed areas. Sediment and
erosion control devices will be observed for compliance with construction contract documents during and after
construction, as well as following major storm events, to identify needed repair, maintenance, or redesign.
Cleared wetland areas will be stabilized with a restoration seed mix in accordance with the seed mix and woody
vegetation installed (in the tremporary workspace) specified in the project's Restoration Plan. Stream banks will be
stabilized with jute netting and a native seed mix.

State Clearing House? (If so, attach a copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval
letter.)
Comments: S&ME prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the ® Yes ? No
Reedy/McKee Creeks Interceptor Project which included the McKee Creek
Interceptor. A Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) was received on November
15, 2006 (State Clearinghouse File # 07-E-4300-0109).
2. Violations (DWQ Requirement)
2a. Is the site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500), Isolated
Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .1300), DWQ Surface Water or Wetland Standards, ? Yes ® No
or Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0200)?
2b. Is this an after-the-fact permit application? ? Yes ® No
2c. If you answered "yes" to one or both of the above questions, provide an explanation of the violation(s):
3. Cumulative Impacts (DWQ Requirement)
3a. Will this project (based on past and reasonably anticipated future impacts) result in ® Yes ? No
additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality?
3b. If you answered "yes" to the above, submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with the
most recent DWQ policy. If you answered "no," provide a short narrative description.
While the McKee Creek Interceptor project provides sanitary sewer that supports future development, local and county
ordinances are in place to mitigate secondary and cumulative impacts. Cumulative impacts associated with the McKee
Creek Interceptor project were satisfactorily addressed with appropriate regulatory agencies, including DWQ, during the
EA process.
4. Sewage Disposal (DWQ Requirement)
4a. Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of wastewater generated from
the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.
The proposed project will convey wastewater to the Reedy Creek Interceptor (USACE Action ID No. SAW-2008-01353-
360), and from there the wastewater will travel through the Lower Rocky River Influent Pump Station before ultimately being
conveyed to and treated at the Rocky River Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant in Cabarrus County.

5. Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat (Corps Requirement)
5a. Will this project occur in or near an area with federally protected species or ? Yes ® No
habitat?
5b. Have you checked with the USFWS concerning Endangered Species Act ® Yes ? No
impacts?
?
Raleigh
5c. If yes, indicate the USFWS Field Office you have contacted. ® Asheville
5d. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical
Habitat?
S&ME conducted a protected species review and vegetative communities assessment of the project corridor to determine
if current site conditions were suitable for those protected terrestrial species (plants and animals occurring on land) whose
presence may be currently or historically documented in Cabarrus County. S&ME retained The Catena Group (TCG) to
conduct surveys for freshwater mussels along the McKee Creek project corridor.
Based on these protected species reviews, the USFWS concurred that the proposed McKee Creek Interceptor project will
not impact federally protected species known to occur within Cabarrus County.
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?
The project is not located in a coastal or marine area.
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 ? Yes ® No
status (e.g., National Historic Trust designation or properties significant in
North Carolina history and archaeology)?
7b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact historic or archeological resources?
Potential for cultural resources within the project corridor was also previously addressed during preparation of the EA for
this project. A scoping letter was submitted to SHPO during the EA process requesting their comments on the proposed
project. SHPO responded that they are not aware of cultural resources affected by the proposed project, and
accordingly, had no comment on the project. Additionally, Coastal Carolina Research conducted an archaeological
survey of the project corridor in August of 2003. Their survey report was submitted to SHPO for review who concluded
that the project would not affect any cultural resources eigible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.
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: Project area will be restored to it original contours with no
additional aboveground structures outside from manholes, therefore the proposed project will not impact flood elevations.
8c. What source(s) did you use to make the floodplain determination? North Carolina Floodplain Mapping Program GIS
layers.

RESTORATION PLAN
McKee Creek Interceptor
Cabarrus County, North Carolina
This restoration plan has been prepared for the proposed McKee Creek Interceptor
project located in Cabarrus County, North Carolina. While a majority of mitigation for
the proposed project has been accomplished through avoidance and minimization of
impacts, the following plan shall be implemented to restore those stream crossings and
wetlands that are temporarily-impacted through an open cut method to facilitate
installation of the new sewerline.
This plan also entails restoration of temporarily-disturbed wetland areas to their original
contours and conditions to the degree practicable upon project completion. Further,
disturbed wetland areas will be permanently stabilized with vegetative cover. The U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has required under the previous authorization,
USACE Action ID No. 200803346, that woody species be replanted in the temporary
construction easement in wetland areas. The measures outlined in this plan will be
specified in the contract documents prepared for construction of the proposed project.
RESTORATION ACTIVITIES
Proposed restoration activities will include removal of placed fill material and restoration
of wetland areas and stream banks to original pre-disturbance contours. Excavated
material shall be returned to the trench to the extent possible, and remaining material
relocated and retained on an upland site. Substrate containing roots, rhizomes, seeds, etc.,
will be kept viable and replaced at the surface of the excavated site. A restoration seed
mix will be applied to disturbed areas associated with temporary wetland and stream
crossings. This seed mix (Table 1) will be applied with temporary groundcover species
to provide short-term stabilization of disturbed soil, and will cover the disturbed wetlands
and stream banks from the jurisdictional boundary extending five feet landward.
Additionally, forested and shrub scrub wetlands within the temporary construction
easement that are cleared to facilitate placement of the sewerline must be restored by re-
planting native woody vegetation upon completion of construction. To avoid potential
damage to the sewerline, deep-rooted species have not been included in the planting
tables. Temporarily disturbed areas will be planted in accordance with Table 2 if
planting occurs during the dormant season. If planting occurs during the growing season,
then containerized species, as specified in Table 3, must be used.

You have our approval, in accordance with the general certification and those conditions listed below,
to impact 3.376 acre of wetland (0.5 permanent) and 260 linear feet (If) (20 If permanent) of stream in order to
construct the project in Cabarrus County, as described in your application received by the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) on January 14, 2011. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this project is
covered by Water Quality General Certification Number 3819, which can be viewed on our web site at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. The General Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number
12 once it is issued to you by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Please note that you should get any other
federal, state or local permits before proceeding with your project, including those required by (but not limited
to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge, and Water Supply Watershed regulations.
All other conditions and requirements of the previous approvals issued for this project remain. Be
reminded, that the applicant (Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities) shall conduct all activities in a manner so as not
to contravene any state water quality standard (including any requirements for compliance with section 303(d)
of the Clean Water Act) and any other appropriate requirements of state and federal law. If DWQ determines
that such standards or laws are not being met (including the failure to sustain a designated or achieved use) or
that state or federal law is being violated, or that further conditions are necessary to assure compliance, DWQ
may reevaluate and modify this certification to include conditions appropriate to assure compliance with such
standards and requirements in accordance with 15 A NCAC 2H.0507(d). Before codifying the certification,
DWQ shall notify the applicant and the US Army Corps of Engineers, provide public notice in accordance with
