Dear Mr. Chapin:
On behalf of the Crescent Resources, LLC (CR), enclosed please find a completed Pre-Construction
Notification (PCN) Joint Form (Attachment A) and figures (Attachment B). This PCN is being
submitted for Nationwide Permit (NWP) No. 39 for the above-referenced project. CR has retained
MACTEC Engineering and Consulting, Inc. (MACTEC) to provide permitting services for this
project. This submittal is the product of a cooperative effort between CR, MACTEC, and ColeJenest
& Stone. (CJ&S). CJ&S is providing design/engineering services for this project.
Proiect Overview
CR, in conjunction with MACTEC, is submitting this PCN for authorization under NWP No. 39 -
Commercial and Institutional Developments (Water Quality Certification [WQC] 3402 /General
Certification [GC] 3631). The proposed project will result in jurisdictional stream impact. As a
result, this PCN is being provided in accordance with Nationwide Permit "notification"
requirements for NWP No. 39.
The proposed Piedmont Town Center will be located on Fairview Road in the South Park Mall
area of Charlotte, North Carolina (Attachment B, Figurel). The overall parcel is approximately 19
acres (Phase I - 11 acres, Phase II - 8 acres), and is bordered by Fairview Road to the south,
Assembly Street to the east, Carnegie Boulevard to the north, and a combination of residential and
commercial properties to the west. The majority of the parcel is open field, with forested areas
along an unnamed tributary to Little Sugar Creek. The proposed development of the site will
likely include mixed-use structures including; office buildings, parking decks, retail, and multi-
family residences.
Due to the location and orientation of the jurisdictional stream on the subject property (Attachment
B -Exhibit A), which generally parallels the western portion of the subject property, the siting of
the proposed buildings, associated parking, and other auxiliary structures will necessitate
unavoidable impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. (Attachment B -Exhibit B). The

Section 404/401 Pre-Construction Notification
MACTEC Project 6229074247
August 1, 2007
applicant proposes to impact approximately 288 linear feet (lf) of the jurisdictional stream and
approximately 0.06 acre of jurisdiction wetland. Approximately 200 if of stream impacts and all
wetland impacts will be associated with grading and filling. The remaining 881f of stream impacts
will be due to channel relocation. The proposed project represents the most feasible alternative to
allow for the construction of the development and the City-required stormwater detention facility
(for water quality treatment). An alternatives analysis, along with the project's purpose and need,
are discussed in the PCN Joint Form (Attachment A).
Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S.
Wetlands on the subject property were determined using the Routine On-Site Determination Method
as defined in the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual2 during field review on February
2, 2003. Results of the field observations indicate the presence of jurisdictional waters of the U.S.,
including wetlands, on the subject property (Attachment B: Exhibit A). Jurisdictional areas identified
on-site are as follows:
• Stream A, a northerly flowing, aquatically important jurisdictional stream channel located in
the western portion of the site. Stream A is approximately 530 linear feet (lf) in length has
bank heights of two to four feet, and a channel bottom width of two to three feet.
• Wetland A, located at the northern (downstream) end of Stream A, in the northwestern corner
of the site. Wetland A is approximately 0.10 acre (ac) in size, and appears to have been a relic
man-made pond (with riser pipe for drainage).
• Wetland B, located at the southern (upstream) end of Stream A, in the west-central portion of
the site. Wetland B is estimated to be approximately 0.05 ac in size.
The riparian canopy associated with Stream A includes tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), red
maple (Ater rubrum), American elm (Ulmus americana), American beech (Fagus grandifolia),
and Eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana). The riparian canopy associated with Wetlands A
and B include red maple, cottonwood (Populus deltoides), box-elder (A. negundo), silver maple (A.
saccharinum), black willow (Salix nigra), willow oak (Quercus phellos), sweetgum (Liquidambar
styraciflua), and tulip poplar. Understory and herbaceous species along the stream and in the
wetlands include: English ivy (Hedera helix), silver maple, black willow, silky willow (S. sericea),
Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), trumpet creeper
(Campsis radicans), arrowhead (Sagittaria latifolia), false nettle (Boehmeria cylindrical), and soft
rush (Juncus effusus).
Impacts to Waters of the U.S.
Approximately 288 if of jurisdictional stream channel and 0.01 ac of wetland will be impacted by
Phase II of this project. Stream impacts will include 88 if of stream relocation and restoration, 90 if
of intermittent stream grading, and 1101f of perennial stream grading. The stream grading and filling
will be associated with stormwater basin construction. Approximately 0.05 acre of jurisdictional
wetland was previously impacted by Phase I of the project. In accordance with NWP 39 and
WQC/GC 3402/3631, it was not necessary to previously provide pre-construction notification for
wetland impacts under 0.10 acre at that time. The Phase I previous 0.05 ac wetland impact is now

9. Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project
at the time of this application:
The proposed eight-acre Piedmont Town Center Phase II project will be located in the South
Park Mall area of Charlotte, North Carolina. The overall project area (Phase I/II) is
~~roximately 19 acres, and is bordered by Fairview Road to the south, Assembly Street to
the east, Carnegie Boulevard to the north, and a combination of residential and commercial
properties to the west. The parcel is predominantly surrounded by commercial development,
with some residential properties to the west. The Phase II project area is partially forested
and partially open/undeveloped. The forested area contains an unnamed tributary to Little
Sugar Creek. Phase I of the overall project has been previously constructed in an open
upland area near Fairview Road.
10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The proposed project will be comprised of one building and two ei t-level parkin dg ecks.
The mixed use building will house residential, commercial, and retail facilities. The
buildings will be connected b walkways and common areas. The type of equipment to be
used on this project will include but not limited to: track hoes, back hoes, excavators,
bulldozers, dump trucks, and hand tools.
11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work:
The proposed Piedmont Town Center will be located in the South Park area of Charlotte,
North Carolina. An increased demand for mixed use "infill" developments in the South Park
area is the primary reason for this development. The infrastructure for the proposed
development is currently in place. "Infll" development in which builders fill in small
parcels that have been passed over in previous years may be a favored strategy among
housing_professionals in coming years, according to the Urban Land Institute. This project is
a prime example of infill development. This type of development may help minimize
suburban sprawl into other natural areas surrounden tg he city particularly the south
IV. Prior Project History
If jurisdictional determinations and/or permits have been requested and/or obtained for this
project (including all prior phases of the same subdivision) in the past, please explain. Include
the USACE Action ID Number, DWQ Project Number, application date, and date permits and
certifications were issued or withdrawn. Provide photocopies of previously issued permits,
certifications or other useful information. Describe previously approved wetland, stream and
buffer impacts, along with associated mitigation (where applicable). If this is a NCDOT project,
list and describe permits issued for prior segments of the same T.I.P. project, along with
construction schedules.
A Waters of the U.S. Survey/Delineation Verification (Action ID: 300330539) signed by Steve
Chain dated March 4, 2003 has been previously issued for the approximate 19-acre overall
property. This letter states "There are waters of the U.S. on the above described property which
have been accurately flagged/delineated. We recommend that the delineated lines be surveyed.
Updated 11/i/2005
Page 7 of 14

The surveyed lines must be verified by our staff before the Corps will make a final jurisdictional
determination on your property." A copy of the final survey plat, noting on-site Waters of the
U.S., is included in Appendix D for your approval.
V. Future Project Plans
Are any future permit requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work,
and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application.
No future pro~ectplans are anticipated at this time. The undeveloped portion of the project site is
proposed for complete "build-out" during Phase II.
VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be
listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from
riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts,
permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: Approximately 288 if of
jurisdictional stream channel will be impacted by this pro'e~ ct (proximately 88 if of
intermittent stream relocation/restoration, approximately 90 if of intermittent stream piping,
and approximately 110 if of perennial stream piping). The noted stream channel relocation
impacts will result from retaining wall construction, while the proposed stream channel
piping impacts will be necessary in order to accommodate an off-line water quality treatment
stormwater basin (required by the City of Charlotte). An additional 0.01 acre of wetland
filling impacts will occur in conjunction with the proposed Phase II proiect. Approximately
0.05 acre of jurisdictional wetland was previousl,~pacted by Phase I of the overall project.
In accordance with NWP 39 and NCDENR General Certification 3631, pre-construction
notification for Phase I wetland impacts was not previously required (since these impacts
were less than 0.10 acre in extent).

Describe all impacts to isolated waters, and include the type of water (wetland or stream) and
the size of the proposed impact (acres or linear feet). Please note that this section only
applies to waters that have specifically been determined to be isolated by the USACE.
8. Pond Creation
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ^ uplands ®stream ^ wetlands

local stormwater requirement, etc.): Cit~of Charlotte stormwater requirement
Current land use in the vicinity of the pond: Natural forested area
Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area:
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It maybe 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 on ig nal project design would have resulted in impacts in over 480 if of impacts to the
aquatically important on-site stream and approximately 0 13 acre of wetland impacts. In order to
reduce impacts to the waters of the U S retaining_walls have been added fill slopes have been
reduced and detention pond extents have been reduced allowing much of the on-site stream
channel and the largest on-site wetland area to remain intact. Approximately 88 if of intermittent
stream is now proposed for relocation and restoration rather than piping (as previously
designed). The City of Charlotte is requiring water quality treatment of detained stormwater
runoff on-site Due to the existing topography of the site the most appropriate location for such
a detention feature/structure is in the low area near the stream channel itself. In order to provide
sufficient horizontal extent for this off-line detention basin, approximately 110 if of perennial
stream channel and approximately 90 if of intermittent stream channel will be piped. It is
Updated 11/1/2005
Page 10 of 14

anticipated that the provision of on-site water quality treatment stormwater detention will be
more beneficial to downstream water quality than direct discharge of stormwater runoff from the
site without detention. The current site plan will require approximately 288 if of unavoidable
aquatically-important stream impacts and approximately 0 06 acre of unavoidable wetland
impacts
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 maybe 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 (see DWQ website for most current
version.).
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
Required mitigation credit is anticipated to be purchased from the North Carolina Ecosystem
