Southwest Water Transmission Main -Phase B
Pre-Construction Notification for Nationwide 12
Utilities Project No. 539-04-125
CDM Project No. 1363-43134
Dear Ms. Karoly:
04-IL3~'Ja
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities proposes to construct the next phase of a new water
transmission main in west Charlotte. The Southwest Water Transmission Main -Phase B
consists of approximately 26,000 linear feet of 48-inch pipeline and is needed to improve the
existing water distribution system for the City of Charlotte. Phase B of the transmission main
begins on Minuteman Way (previously Airport Drive) on the north side of the Charlotte-
Douglas International Airport and ends near the intersection of Steele Creek Road (NC-160)
and Shopton Road. The project site consists of light commercial and industrial areas along
Airport Drive, cross-country undeveloped areas adjacent to West Boulevard and residential
properties along Steele Creek Road. The water main will be installed across Coffey Creek
between Yorkmont Road and Steele Creek Road.
Enclosed please find seven copies of the Pre-Construction Notification Application for the
project and a check in the amount of $200 for the permit fee. Please review this application
and call me at [phone] should you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
onathan . Lapsle , P.E

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. The water main was designed
to cross streams/tributaries at near-perpendicular angles. After construction of the water main,
disturbed stream banks will be restored to their original contours. Rip rap will be placed below
the high water mark, and stream banks above the high water mark will be revegetated with
wood plantings.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide. html.

Subject: Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities -Southwest Water Transmission Main.
Environmental Assessment - SCH #02-E-4300-0293
CDM Project No. 1363-43134
Dear Mr. McRight:
As we discussed~on the telephone in December, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities is currently
implementing the Southwest Water Transmission project, which includes approximately 13.8
miles of 36-inch to 72-inch water transmission main. An Environmental Assessment (EA) was
prepared for the project in October 2001, and a FONSI was issued by the Public Water Supply
Section (PWSS) on December 12, 2001. CDM received a letter from PWSS dated January 31, 2002
stating that no further environmental review action is needed for the project.
Phase A of the project (approximately 5.5 miles of water main) is currently under construction.
Phase B of the project (approximately 4.9 miles of water main) is currently under design.
Construction of Phase B is currently targeted to begin in late 2007. Because the EA was
approved 5 years ago, CDM requests that the FONSI/EA approval be extended to allow
sufficient time for completion of design, permitting, and construction of Phase B. Based on our
telephone conversation in December 2006, PWSS agrees that approval of the EA can be extended
because there have been no significant changes to the project since the FONSI was issued.
If you have any questions related to the project, or if this letter does not accurately describe our
telephone conversation, please call me at [phone]. Thank you for your consideration.
Very truly yours,
Kelly R. Boone, P.E.

Re: Project Number 02-0293
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities
Southwest Water Transmission Main
Dear Ms. McCaskill:
The Centralina Council of Governments submitted Section 1, "Description of Proposed Project" of an
environmental assessment (EA) prepared for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities Southwest Water
Transmission Main Project, and a FONSI statement prepared by the North Carolina Division of
Envirorunental Health dated December 12, 2001. The Mecklenburg County Department of
Environmental Protection ("MCDEP") has reviewed the FONSI. We wish to make the following
comments:
Air Quality
In accordance with MCAPCO Regulation 1.5211 - "Applicability", installation of certain air pollution
emitting equipment (such as generators) may require Air Quality Permits to Construct/Operate.
Construction of this type of equipment was not addressed in the submitted documents.
During construction, precautions must be taken to minimize emissions of dust and odors or any other
emissions that may cause a nuisance to other parties. Any demolition or renovation activities must
comply with the local building permit requirements and the required NESHAP/Asbestos notification
requirements. Demolition of structures along the route of the water transmission main was not addressed
in the submitted documents.
Refer to applicable air quality regulations related to dust, odorous emissions, nuisances, and
demolition/renovation activities within MCDEP's EA/EIS guidelines document found at
www.co. mecklenb urg. nc.us/coenv.
It is recommended that any new construction follow the Energy Star Buildings guidelines. It is also
recommended that any equipment purchased be Energy Star compliant.

Southwest Water Transrrussion Main
Project Number 02-0293
January 14, 2002
Water Quality
Page 2 of 3
Based on a review performed by the Water Quality staff of MCDEP, the proposed constniction of the
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities Southwest Water Transmission Main will occur in the Lake Wylie
Watershed in Mecklenburg County. This watershed is a protected watershed. MCDEP therefore requests
a strict adherence to the approved Erosion Control Plan for this site and a rigorous inspection program for
all installed Best Management Practices (BMPs). Education of construction crews is also requested in
order to make them aware of the sensitive nature of this project and the need to exercise caution to
prevent the discharge of contaminants to nearby surface waters.
Groundwater
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities Southwest Water Transmission Main project may generate land
clearing and inert debris (LCID) which must be managed in accordance with the North Carolina Solid
Waste Management Rules 15A NCAC 13B, Section .0560 - "Land Clearing and Inert Debris Landfills".
Any incidental municipal solid waste such as garbage, tires and household wastes encountered during the
project must be collected and properly disposed of at facilities permitted to receive such wastes.
It also would be prudent to assess the possibility of drinking water well buffer encroachment for
properties adjacent to the new right-of--way. MCDEP recommends the maintenance of a buffer of at least
100 feet for privately-owned wells. If there are any community wells in the area, the North Carolina
Department of Environment and Natural Resources should be consulted for guidance.
Should you have any questions regarding these comments, please direct them to the members of my
staff who performed the technical review. Air Quality comments were made by Laura Cummings
[e-mail]), Water Quality comments were made by Erica L. Shah
([e-mail]), and Groundwater comments were made by Lisa Corbin
([e-mail]).
Sincerely,
ohn M. Barry, .D.
