Good afternoon Doug — I can definitely get you a plan that has the BMP's clearly depicted. I'll get that to you asap.

Hi Brandon,
If you could have the engineers clearly define the stormwater BMP's that would be most helpful to us, thanks. I would
still like to go out to the site and put eyes on the stream in question. If you can't spare the time, then I could always just
head out on my own.
Doug

Good evening Doug and Alan, hope things are well with you and yours! I believe these are the two permit applications
(development and road) for Prosperity correct? I have added in Ron Johnson (Senior PM) who helped generate the
packages, and Jonathan Grubb who performed the field work.
I also cc'd Bryan in case he has any input.

The application was submitted as two separate projects, one for the proposed development, one for the road that will
be developed. The City of Charlotte has had this road on their transportation plan for a while, and it is proposed for the
connectivity of the area, not necessarily for the development, so it was determined by the USACE that the two projects
maintain independent utility; therefore, the USACE issued a 29 for the development and 14 for the roadway (attached).
The developer will be responsible for the construction of the road, the City (CDOT) will be take it over. The impacts for
the two projects were considered cumulative. The transportation plan was not included in the initial permit application
due to the size of the file; however, a link to it was provided. I can get you the file or the link if you need it.
The portion of stream proposed for impact was determined to be intermittent by the USACE; perennial as is exits the
wetland down grade. The proposed impact involves filling the stream for the development. The stream will also be filled
in the area of the road crossing instead of piped. Due to the grade/topography of the site, and the filling of the stream
for the development, it was determined that piping the stream wouldn't make sense, as there would be no flow coming
from upgrade where the stream was filled.
As for stormwater, there are stormwater SCM's proposed in the site plan, and these are depicted in the proposed site
plan. I can definitely have the engineers label the plans more clearly if that helps. The stormwater management plans
will be reviewed/approved by the City of Charlotte Stormwater Dep.
The site is in the area of Charlotte where the USACE is requiring mitigation for any and all impacts; additionally, there
are only credits available through the extended service area of DMS, so the client is essentially paying double the normal
mitigation credit amount. Although the projects were considered independent, the impacts were considered cumulative
by the USACE, and are being mitigated for as such. As part of review by the USACE, a sunflower survey was
requested/performed to ensure that no T&E species was impacted.
These two projects underwent pretty extensive review by the USACE and FWS, so our budgets have been more than
exhausted for some time. We'd be happy to get on a call and discuss if you have any further questions, and can provide
any updates or clarification you might need from a documentation standpoint. We are very limited on time with regards
to an additional site review.

Hello Brandon,
Alan and I were looking over the PCN's for these projects and we both had concerns about them. It seems to us that the
proposal is just for paving over a stream with no real reasoning behind it. Secondly, there are no pictures of the stream
provided with the application. Thirdly, there are no BMP's proposed in the design. How are they going to handle all of
the stormwater? We also had some concerns about the breaking up of the project between a 14 and a 39. Basically, we
need to meet at the site to go over the project and walk the stream. When might you be available?
