Dear Ms Jones and Mr McMillan
S &ME Inc (S &ME) is submitting this application for impacts to waters of the U S in
accordance with Department of the Army Nationwide Permit (NWP) No 12 (utility line
activities) and No 18 (minor discharges) along with supporting documentation for
verification of the on site jurisdictional boundaries S &ME has been retained by
Charlotte Mecklenburg Storm Water Services (CMSWS) the applicant for the proposed
project to provide services related to authorization under the NWPs in accordance with
the Clean Water Act The proposed project will involve temporary disturbance to 40
linear feet (If) of stream for the placement of storm water siphon lines as well as
placement of less than 20 cubic yards (CY) of riprap below the ordinary high water mark
(OHWM) along 68 feet of stream bank for the construction of four stable storm water

' BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The project site is located on Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) South Park
' Campus which is located in Charlotte North Carolina between Runnymede Lane to the
south Colony Road to the east and Briar Creek to the north and west The project area
includes Alexander Graham Middle School Selwyn Elementary School and the southern
' portion of Myers Park High School The location of the project area is depicted on the
Site Vicinity Map (Figure 1) the appropriate portions of the Charlotte East, N C (1988)
USGS Topographic Map (Figure 2) USDA Soil Survey Map (Figure 3) and a 2010
' aerial photograph which is included as the background for the Approximate Waters of the
US Map (Figure 4)
In order to improve downstream water quality and improve upon the current aging storm
water infrastructure on site CMSWS has proposed a multifaceted Watershed
Enhancement Project (WEP) An additional goal of the project is to provide water
quality educational opportunities for the many students and visitors to the campus This
will include the addition of permanent educational signage that will be incorporated into
the project as well as use of the proposed facilities as outdoor classrooms and amenities
for student projects and research As pre existing USGS stream monitoring stations are
located at the upstream and downstream end of the project area the project will serve as
an excellent testing facility to help determine the pollutant removal performance of the
' proposed storm water Best Management Practice (BMP) structures
The proposed project will involve construction at five separate Work Sites (WS I WS 3
WS 8 WS 10 and WS 15) throughout the project area (see Figure 4) Proposed project
components consist of a variety of storm water BMPs including bioretention basins
infiltration trenches swales dry ponds and an off line wet pond as well as the outfalls
outlets ditches forebays level spreaders and storm water inlets associated with these
structures Additionally a number of upgrades and tie ins to existing storm drain piping
will be constructed and outdated storm water outfall pipes will be removed
' In order to treat storm water from both sides of a stream running up the middle of the
project area (S1) with one off line wet pond installation of a siphon line under the stream
is proposed which will carry storm water from the north side of the stream to the wet
' pond on the south side Additionally in order to allow for stable transitions for storm
water into downstream jurisdictional waters riprap will be placed below the OWHM at
four BMP outfall locations

FIELD OBSERVATIONS
'
On December l 2011 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 the Approximate Waters of the U S Map (Figure 4) and representative
'
photographs of the project area are included in Appendix Ill
Field review of the project areas identified three jurisdictional relatively permanent
'
waters (S] S2 and S3) and one jurisdictional wetland (WA) adjacent to S1 S1 is a
relatively large (3`d order) perennially flowing tributary to Briar Creek (referred to as
Briar Creek Tributary #] by CMSWS) which flows from east to west along the project
'
area dividing the campus of Myers Park High School to the north from the campuses of
Alexander Graham Middle School and Selwyn Elementary School to the south (Photo 1)
S2 is a very small channel with geomorphic characteristics indicative of intermittent
'
seasonal flow (DWQ stream classification score of 20 5) which originates at a riprapped
storm water pipe outfall and flows south for approximately 85 feet before entering a
corrugated plastic culvert which flows into Sl (Photo 2) S3 is a small channel with
'
geomorphic conditions indicative of perennial flow (DWQ stream classification score of
32 5) which is located at the edge of the project area immediately adjacent to Colony
Road near its intersection with Runnymede Lane (Photo 3) WA is a very small
(approximately 0 01 acre) floodplain depression directly adjacent to S 1 Though
vegetation was absent within WA due to wintertime observations and its small area
conditions were consistent with those that would support sparse herbaceous wetland
'
vegetation during the growing season (Photo 4)
Upland areas consist predominantly of schools and associated out buildings parking
areas and maintained ball fields (Photos 11 and 12) A forested floodplain with multiple
'
sanitary sewer corridors was also present in the riparian area adjacent to S 1 (Photo 10)
Understory vegetation in the floodplain was frequently dominated by invasive vegetation
such as Chinese privet (Ligustrum smense) and Amur honeysuckle (Lonicera maackn)
'
Additionally four channels were identified down slope of existing storm water outfalls
(NJDI NJD4 Photos 5 8) These channels scored below 19 using DWQ stream
classification methodology as such they were considered to lack characteristics
'
consistent with relatively permanent waters and were thus considered non jurisdictional
An Approved Jurisdictional Determination form was prepared and incorporated with this
'
PCN for verification and is included in Appendix IV Completed DWQ Stream
Identification Forms are included in Appendix V along with Eastern Mountains and
Piedmont Wetland Determination Forms characterizing WA and multiple upland data
points within the project area
PROPOSED PROJECT IMPACTS

the storm water siphon lines Additionally placement of less than 20 cubic yards (CY) of
riprap below the ordinary high water mark (OHWM) along 68 feet of stream bank is
necessary for the construction of four stable storm water BMP outfalls Details of the
extent of impacts are included in Table 1 below Additionally the pertinent sheets from
the 95% Design Plans are included in Appendix 1 these sheets have been marked up to
clearly indicate the location of jurisdictional and non jurisdictional features as well as
the location of proposed impacts to jurisdictional features

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
animal Listed flora and fauna and their federal status are identified in Table 2

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 site
S &ME completed a field reconnaissance of the project site on December 1 2011 This
effort revealed the site consisted of forested floodplain areas and maintained lawns and
activity fields None of the three listed plant species were observed Based on the level
of recent and continued disturbance the project site was not considered to provide
potential habitat for protected terrestrial species with a likelihood of occurring in
Mecklenburg County
Though the Carolina heelsphtter is listed (historically) for Mecklenburg County the
proposed project involves impacts to unnamed tributaries to Briar Creek and will not
impact streams that drain to those supporting known populations of Carolina heelsplitter
or its designated critical habitat No documented occurrences of Carolina heelsplitter are
known for Briar Creek its tributaries or its receiving stream Little Sugar Creek
Accordingly the proposed project is not anticipated to impact this species or its
designated Critical Habitat
A copy of this PCN and attachments will also be provided to the USFWS for that
agency s comment on the proposed project
Cultural Resources
S &ME reviewed the North Carolina Historical Preservation Office Online GIS Web
Service (HPOWEB) for properties listed or potentially eligible for listing in the National
Register of Historic Places No such properties were located within the vicinity of the
project area The Isaac Newton Alexander Mill ruin a local historical landmark is
located approximately 150 feet outside of the project area along Briar Creek on the
campus of Myers Park High School The proposed project is on the other side of a
driveway and ridge from this historical resource and thus should have no adverse impact
on this structure
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
To minimize impacts to jurisdictional waters all BMPs were designed off line of the
jurisdictional waters rather than in line as is often used for storm water BMPs The only
impacts to the bed of jurisdictional streams proposed are associated with the siphon line
crossing which was an engineering requirement in order to keep the proposed wet pond
off line from Sl while still allowing it to treat storm water from both sides of S1 This
impact should be considered temporary as the utility (siphon) lines will be placed below
the invert of the channel the stream will be returned to pre construction contours and no
Nationwide Permit No 12 &18 /Request for Jurisdictional Determination S &ME Project No 1357 11 032

permanent maintenance corridor will be required Proposed bank impacts have been
' limited to the minimum areas required by engineering standards to ensure stability at
outfall locations Additionally rtprap outfalls were generally located at either areas that
are currently impacted by storm water outfalls (Photo 13) or along banks that are
' currently experiencing bank instability (Photo 14) This minimizes disturbance by
utilizing rtprap placement for both outfall stabilization and general bank stabilization and
by terminating rtprap placement short of the normal flow line of the stream
'
Project area limits of disturbance were chosen to limit riparian impacts and to minimize
disturbance and removal of trees Appropriate sediment and erosion control measures
'
will be utilized during construction and to channel work will be performed to the dry
through the use of appropriate measures such as temporary coffer dams and stream water
'
pump arounds
' REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS
Rigorous sediment and erosion control measures will be employed during construction in
1
order to comply with the appropriate water quality standards These measures shall be
consistent with specifications governing their proper design installation operation and
maintenance as 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 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
The proposed utility line crossing has been designed at a near perpendicular angle to the
stream In channel work proposed at this crossing will be conducted to the dry
'
following completion of the crossing the trench will be backfilled and stream bed and
banks will be returned to their original contour Disturbed stream banks will be re
vegetated using a native wetland seed mix The proposed construction corridor will be
'
limited to less than 40 feet and no permanent maintenance corridor will be required
Impacts associated with this crossing 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 Discharge of fill material (rtprap) below the
OHWM of streams has been minimized to the extent practicable and will be well below
'
the 25 CY volume limit established as a part of NWP 18
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 specifically for the purpose of improving the
ecological condition of downstream waters and will result in no loss of waters of the
U S Based on our experience with similar projects we do not anticipate that
compensatory mitigation for the proposed project is required Although the goal of

Project Description
3a
Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this
application
The project site consists of Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) South Park Campus (Myers Park High School
Alexander Graham Middle School and Selwyn Elementary School) This includes schools and associated out buildings
parking areas and maintained ball fields A moderate sized stream (S1) with a forested floodplain and riparian area flows
between Myers Park High to the north and Alexander Graham Middle School and Selwyn Elementary School to the
South Sanitary sewer lines are also present within this riparian corridor Invasive vegetation (particularly Amur
honeysuckle and Chinese privet) has proliferated in the understory of forested areas within the project area The general
vicinity of the project area is made up almost entirely or moderately high density residential development with a few areas
of medium density commercial development
3b
List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property
0 01 acres
3c
List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property

3d
Explain the purpose of the proposed project
The purpose of the project is to retrofit CMS South Park Campus with a multiple storm water management best
management practice structures (BMPs) to improve downstream water quality and improve upon the current aging storm
water infrastructure
An additional goal of the project is to provide water quality educational opportunities for the many students and visitors to
the campus In addition to the permanent educational signage that will be incorporated into the project the facilities will
serve as outdoor classrooms and amenities for student projects and research
3e
Describe the overall project in detail including the type of equipment to be used
Construction will occur at five separate Work Sites (WS) (WS 1 WS 3 WS 8 WS 10 and WS 15) throughout the project
area Construction involves the excavation and construction of a number of BMPs including bioretention basins
infiltration trenches swales dry ponds and an off line wet pond as well as the associated outfalls outlets ditches
forebays level spreaders and inlets A number of upgrades and tie ins to existing storm sewer piping will also be
constructed and old storm water outfalls pipes will be removed
In order to treat stormwater from both sides of stream S1 with one off line wet pond installation of a siphon line under the
stream is proposed to carry storm water from the north side of the stream to the wet pond on the south side This will
involve temporarily trenching S1 while in the dry installing the pipe and then backfilimg the trench and returning the
stream bed and banks to their original contour Permanent impacts to jurisdictional waters will be limited to placement of
nprap below the OWHM at four BMP outfall locations
Equipment likely to be used includes industry standard trackhoes dozers trucks and excavators

D Impact Justification and Mitigation
1 Avoidance and Minimization
1 a Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project
To minimize impacts to jurisdictional waters all BMPs were designed off line of the jurisdictional waters rather than in line as
is often used for storm water BMPs The only impacts to the bed of jurisdictional streams proposed are associated with the
siphon line crossing which was an engineering requirement in order to keep the proposed wet pond off line from S1 while still
allowing it to treat storm water from both sides of S1 This impact should be considered temporary as the channel will be
restored to pre construction contours and no permanent maintenance corridor will be required Bank impacts were limited to
the minimum areas required to ensure stability at outfall locations and nprap placement will terminate above the base flow line
of the receiving stream where possible Riprap outfalls were generally located at banks that are currently experiencing bank
instability in order to utilize nprap placement for both outfall stabilization and general bank stabilization
1 b Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques
Project area limits of disturbance were chosen to limit riparian impacts and to minimize disturbance to trees Appropriate
sediment and erosion control measures will be utilized during construction and in channel work will be done in the dry

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 III D 2 If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow
skip to Section III 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 waterbody° 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 III B 1 for
the tributary Section III B 2 for any onsite wetlands and Section III B 3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary both onsite
and offsite The determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section III C below

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 floodplam 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 hfecycle 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
