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 Site is primarily characterized by pasture (managed herbaceous cover) but also supports a mature mixed hardwood forest (mixed deciduous coniferous forest land) in the northeast corner (Figure 2) All three streams located on Site are characterized by a significant nexus to navigable waters Muddy Creek flows south southeast through the northeastern portion of the Site Two unnamed tributaries (UT1 and UT2) occur within the site UT1 is a perennial stream that flows from south to north into the Site across the western boundary and arcs to the east across the northern portion of the Site to a confluence with Muddy Creek just inside the northeastern boundary UT2 originates from an open water pond located on the eastern Site boundary UT2 flows northeast until it reaches Muddy Creek in the central eastern portion of the Site A high voltage transmission line runs along the western portion of the property and a sewer easement runs through the northeastern portion Land use in the vicinity of the project is pasture industrial and residential 3b List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property 023 3c List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property 3 500 3d Explain the purpose of the proposed project A culverted crossing of the perennial stream known as UT1 to Muddy Creek has been constructed to allow vehicular access within the Site and from the southern portion of the Site to the railroad and industrial property north of the Site In 2006 Charlotte Pipe & Foundary contacted the landowner about the possibility of moving their downtown Charlotte facility to the Midland site Charlotte Pipe & Foundary led the the property owner to believe that they would put an option to buy on the property if a stream crossing was constructed The property owner constructed the crossing (Figure 3) During planning for site development Charlotte Pipe & Foundary learned through a study of the local wind rose that prevailing winds might blow chemicals sprayed on pipes into nearby streams thus Charlotte Pipe & Foundary decided to look elsewhere for a potential new site The Site currently remains for sale with no current interested buyers 3e Describe the overall project in detail including the type of equipment to be used The project described occurred while the property was in private ownership prior to its sale to Cabarrus County The overall project includes the installation of two 62 feet long 72 inch wide reinforced concrete pipes (RCP) for a soil road crossing of UT1 to Muddy Creek and a total of 84 linear feet of rip rap on stream banks and some bed on each side of the crossing placed for stabilization (see Figures 7 7A and 76) Filter cloth was placed underneath the rip rap The rip rap was clean and free of loose dirt or any pollutant and is of a size sufficient to prevent its movement from the intended alignment by natural forces under normal conditions The construction of this crossing has already occurred at the time of this permit application Page 3 of 11 PCN Form — Version 1 3 December 10 2008 Version 4 Jurisdictional Determinations 4a Have jurisdictional wetland or stream
