I On behalf of the property developer, Hart & Hickman, PC (H &H) is submitting the attached Pre - Construction Notification (PCN) for a proposed commercial development at 11109 Providence Road West in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. The approximately 12.54 -acre subject site is located at the intersection of Johnston Road (Hwy 521) and Providence Road West. H &H is submitting the new PCN application in order obtain re- verification of Nationwide Permit 39, which was issued for the project on October 15, 2009 (Action ID SAW- 2009 -01652 and DWQ #07 -1673 V2). This PCN includes an additional parcel (Tax ID 22313233) compared with the 2009 PCN submittal. However, the additional parcel only contains uplands with the exception of the continuation of the intermittent stream (Clems Branch) in the far northern portion of the parcel. Based on a site - specific review, including installation of borings along the intermittent stream, there are no wetlands present on the additional parcel. 2923 South Tryon Street, Suite 100 I 3334 Hillsborough Street Charlotte, NC 28203 Raleigh, NC 27607 www.harthickman.com 704.586.0007 main 919.847.4241 main Mr. William Elliott June 12, 2014 Page 2 The developer is proposing two impacts totaling 295 linear feet to an on -site intermittent ,stream ( Clems Branch) and two wetland impacts totaling 0.28- acres. Stream Impact 1 consists of re- directing 184 linear feet of Clems Branch through a 42 -inch reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) on the eastern portion of the subject site. The culverts will be set one foot into the streambed and baffles will be installed inside the RCP to facilitate the passage of aquatic wildlife. Clems Branch flows in a westerly direction and traverses the length of the property — essentially dividing the site. With the decision to avoid and minimize impacts to the central portion of Clems Branch and a portion of Wetland B, there are no alternative access points to the southern portion of the property. Therefore, Stream Impact 1 is necessary and unavoidable. The developer is also proposing construction of a single road crossing (Stream Impact 2), which would be installed perpendicular to Clems Branch. During construction, a 111- linear- foot, 54 -inch RCP would be installed. The culverts will be set one foot into the streambed and baffles will be installed inside the RCP to facilitate the passage of aquatic wildlife. Mecklenburg County is requiring an access road on the western portion of the property for future off -site connectivity. With no alternative access points to the,adjacent properties, the road crossing is a necessary and unavoidable impact. Proposed Pond Impact 1 is a 0.195 -acre impact to surface water (Wetland A). Filling this partially drained farm pond will allow for the construction of an on -site commercial building and associated parking spaces; therefore, impacting the pond is unavoidable. Wetland B is 0.164 acres in size, and in order to provide parking for the commercial development 0.085 acres of Wetland B must be impacted. As part of the avoidance and minimization plan, 0.079 acres of Wetland B will be preserved. Proposed impacts to Wetland B have been reduced from 0.123 to 0.085 acres since the 2009 PCN submittal. Mitigation is now required for the 295 linear feet of stream impacts. H &H is seeking Corps approval for the client to mitigate for stream impacts through the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP). Wetland mitigation requirements for this project were already hart hickman S \A A- Master Prolects\Ftve Twenty One (521) Partners\FI V 002 Wetlands Permitting \Cover Letter doc SMARTER ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS Mr. William Elliott June 12, 2014 Page 3 met by payment of $11,006.75 for 0.318 acres of wetlands impact to the NCEEP in 2007.

The 12.54 - acre development is in a rapidly growing commercial and multi - family residential area located in the southern portion of Charlotte, North Carolina. H &H conducted a screening survey of the subject property for Federal Threatened and Endangered Species, and none were identified. H &H also reviewed archeological maps at the State Historic Preservation Office and no recorded sites were noted on the subject property. In addition, no structures over 50 years old are present. Therefore, no recorded historic sites or threatened and endangered species appear to be threatened by the project. In regards to site alternatives, 521 `Partners has considered and evaluated other potential properties in the area for development of the proposed commercial development. However, properties or property assemblages of this size are difficult to find and purchase when they front major road intersections. The zoning must also match the proposed retail land use. An alternative site located to the east across Johnston.Road (Hwy 52 1) contains a large jurisdictional pond. Minimization To minimize site impacts, the proposed site plan was modified to minimize stream and wetland impacts by reducing parking. This parking reduction resulted in the loss of 4,000 square ft of building space based on County requirements. The developer has attempted to further reduce parking, but the proposed project has fewer spaces than typically required by the County. Approximately 85 linear feet of intermittent stream will be preserved, and 30- and 35 -foot County post - construction buffers are included in the design plan. Impacts to Wetland B have been reduced from 0.123 acres to 0.085 acres since the original 2009 PCN submittal.

They observed and described many soil profiles A sod profile is the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in,,a sod The profile extends from'the surface down into the unconsolidated material in which the soil formed or from the surface,down to, bedrock The unconsolidated material is devoid of roots and other living organisms and has not been changed by other biological activity Currently, soils are mapped, according to the boundaries of mayor land resource areas (MLRAs) MLRAs are geographically associated land resource units that share common characteristics related to physiography, geology, climate, water resources, sods, biological resources, and land uses (USDA, 2006). Sod survey,areas typically consist of parts of one or more MLRA The sods and miscellaneous areas in a survey area occur in an orderly pattern that is related to the geology, landforms, relief, climate, and natural vegetation of the area Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is associated with a particular kind of landform or with a segment of the landform By observing the sods and miscellaneous areas in the survey area and relating their position to specific segments of the landform, a soil scientist develops a concept, or model, of how they were formed Thus, during mapping, this model enables the sod scientist to predict with a considerable degree of accuracy the kind of sod or miscellaneous area at a specific location on the landscape Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge into one another as their characteristics gradually change To construct an accurate-soil map, however, soil scientists must determine the boundaries between the sods They can observe only a limited number of sod profiles Nevertheless, these observations, supplemented by an understanding of the sod - vegetation- landscape relationship, are sufficient to verify predictions of the kinds of sod in an area and to determine the boundaries Sod scientists recorded the characteristics of the sod profiles that they studied They noted sod color, texture, size and shape of sod aggregates, kind and amount of rock fragments, distribution of plant roots, reaction, and other features that enable them to identify sods After describing the sods in the survey area and determining their properties, the sod scientists assigned the sods to taxonomic classes (units) Taxonomic classes are concepts Each taxonomic class has a set of sod characteristics with precisely defined limits The classes are used as a basis for comparison to classify sods systematically Sod taxonomy, the system of taxonomic classification used in the United States, is based mainly on,the kind and character of soil properties and the arrangement of horizons within the profile After the sod scientists classified and named the sods in the survey area, they compared the 5 Custom Soil Resource Report individual soils with similar sods in the same taxonomic class in other areas so that they could confirm data and assemble additional data based on experience,and research The objective of sod mapping is not to delineate pure map unit components, the objective is,to separate the landscape into landforms,or landform segments that have similar use and management requirements Each map unit is defined by a unique combination of soil components and /or miscellaneous areas in predictable proportions Some components may be highly contrasting to the other,components of the map unit The presence of minor components in �a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data The delineation of such landforms and landform segments on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans If intensive use of small areas is planned, onsite investigation 'is needed to define and locate'the sods and miscellaneous areas 'Sod scientists make many field observations in the process,of producing a sod map The - frequency of observation is dependent upon several factors, including scale of mapping, intensity of mapping, design of map units, complexity of the landscape, and experience of the sod scientist Observations are made to test and refinetthe soil - landscape model and predictions and to verify the classification of the soils at specific locations. Once the sod- landscape model is refined, a significantly smaller number of measurements of individual sod properties are made and recorded These measurements may include field measurements, such as those for color, depth to bedrock, and texture, and laboratory measurements, such as those for content of sand, silt, clay, salt, and other components Properties of each sod typically vary from one point to another across the landscape Observations for map unit components are aggregated to develop ranges of characteristics for the components The aggregated values are presented Direct measurements do not exist for every property presented for every map unit component Values for some properties are estimated from combinations of other properties While a sod survey is in progress, samples of some of the sods in the area generally are collected for laboratory analyses and for engineering tests Sod scientists interpret the data from these analyses and tests as well as the field- observed characteristics and the sod properties to determine the expected behavior of the sods under different uses Interpretations for all of the soils are field tested through observation of the soils in different uses and under different levels of management Some interpretations are modified to fit local conditions, and some new interpretations are developed to meet local needs Data are assembled from other sources, such as research information, production records, and field experience of specialists For example, data on crop yields under defined levels of management are assembled from farm records and from field or plot experiments on the same kinds of sod Predictions about sod behavior are based not only on sod properties but also on such variables as climate and biological activity Sod conditions are predictable over long periods of time, but they are not predictable from year to year For example, soil scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that a given soil will have a high water table within certain depths in most years, but they cannot predict that a high water table will always be at a specific level in the sod on a specific date After sod scientists located and identified the significant natural bodies of sod 'in the survey area, they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial photographs and identified each as a specific map unit Aerial photographs show trees, buildings, fields, roads, and rivers, all of which help in locating boundaries accurately Soil Map_ The soil map section includes the sod map for the defined area of interest, a list of soil map units on the,map and extent,of each map unit, and cartographic symbols displayed on the map Also presented are various, metadata about data used to produce the map, and a description of each soil map unit wr� - 4 N� 0 Go ca -7A� { R �> c r AIL F� tr- yr �..• r' r ' �; •. ..�.' � V O CL W U 7 O N O EC C O N U R O m C O N O a) m p N O O N cm C O - C ,L...

delineation on a soil map represents,an area dominated by one or more mayor kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas A map unit is identified and named according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant sods Within a taxonomic class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the solls On the,landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the characteristic, variability of all natural phenomena Thus, the range of some observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, If ever, can be mapped without Including areas of other taxonomic classes Consequently, every map unit is made up of the solls,or miscellaneous areas for which It is named and some minor components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the mayor soils Most minor sods'have properties similar to those,of the dominant sod or soils In the map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management These are called noncontrasting, or similar, components They may or may not be mentioned in a particular map unit description Other minor components, however, have,properties and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different 10 Custom Sod Resource Report management These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components They generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the scale used Some small areas of strongly contrasting sods or miscellaneous areas are identified by a special symbol on the maps If included in the database for a given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit,descnptions along with some characteristics of each A few areas of minor components may not have been observed, and consequently they,are not mentioned;in the descriptions, especially where,the pattern was so complex that it was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the sods and miscellaneous areas on the landscape The presence,of minor components in a map unit in noway diminishes,the usefulness or accuracy of the data The objective of mapping is not to delineate pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that have similar useoand management requirements The delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the' development of resource plans If intensive use of small areas is planned, however, onsite investigation is needed to define and locate'the sods and miscellaneous areas An identifying,symbol`precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important sod properties and qualities Sods that have profdes,that are almost alike make up a sod senes Except for differences in texture of the surface layer, all the sods of a series have mayor horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement Sods of one series can differ in texture of'the surface layer, slope, stoniness, salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use On the basis of such differences, a sod series is divided into soil phases, Most of the areas shown on the detailed sod maps are phases of sod series The name of a sod phase commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management For example, Alpha slit loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series Some map units are made up of two or more mayor sods or miscellaneous areas These map units are complexes, associations, or, undifferentiated groups A complex consists of two or more sods or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate pattern or in such,small areas that they cannot be shownseparately on the maps The pattern and proportion of the sods or miscellaneous,areas are somewhat similar in all areas Alpha -Beta complex, 0'to 6 percent slopes, is an example An association is made up of two,or more geographically associated sods,or miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps Because of present or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered practical or necessary to map,the sods or miscellaneous areas separately The pattern and relative proportion of the sods or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar Alpha - Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example An undifferentiated'group is made up,of twoor more sods or miscellaneous areas,that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar interpretations can be made for use and management The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not.uniform An area can be made up of only one of the major sods or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made up of all of them Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example Some surveys include miscellaneous areas Such',areas,have little or no soil material and support little or no vegetation Rock outcrop,is an example 11 Custom Soil Resource Report Mecklenburg County, North Carolina ApB— Appling sandy loam, 2 to 8 percent slopes Map Unit Setting Elevation 200 to 1,400 feet Mean annual preppitat►on 37 to 60 inches Mean annual air temperature 59 to 66 degrees F Frost -free penod 200 to 240 days Map Unit Composition Appling and similar sods 90 percent Minor components 7 percent Description of Appling Setting Landform Interfluves Landform position (two -

We have reviewed the information you presented and are providing the following comments in accordance with the provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination,Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 661- 667e), and section 7 of the Endangered, Species Act of 1973, as amended (1'6 U.S.C. 1531 -1543) (Act). According to the information you provided, your client is proposing to develop a 6.97 - acre site for a commercial development. The site currently consists of residential and undeveloped land. An unnamed tributary to Clems Branch flows across the property. No details were provided regarding the construction, plans or proposed impacts to the unnamed tributary. 'The purpose of this letter is only to inform you of federally listed species that occur within the geographical area indicated on the map you sent, and we have included a detailed list of information that will be required for us to fully assess the potential direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts of any construction /development projects in this area. Endangered Species. According,'to our records and,a review of the information provided, no listed species or their habitats occur on the site. Therefore, we believe the requirements under section 7 of the Act are fulfilled. However, obligations under section 7 of the Act must be reconsidered if. (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered, (2) this action is subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review, or (3) a new species is listed or critical habitat is determined that.may be affected by the identified action. At this stage of project development and without more specifics about construction locations and techniques, it is difficult for us to assess potential environmental impacts (direct, indirect, and cumulative). We therefore recommend that any environmental document prepared for this project include the following (if applicable): 1. A complete analysis and comparison of the, available alternatives (the build and no -build alternatives). 2. An assessment of any development that will impact the 100 -year floodplain. 3. A description of the fishery and wildlife resources within existing and required additional rights -of -way and any areas, such as borrow areas, that may be affected directly or indirectly by the proposed project. 4. The acreage and a description of the wetlands that will be filled as a result of the proposed project. Wetlands affected by.the proposed project should be mapped in accordance with the Federal Manual for Identifying and Delineating Jurisdictional Wetlands. We recommend contacting the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) to determine the need for a Section 404 Clean Water Act permit. Avoiding and minimizing wetland impacts is a part of the Corps' permitting process, and we will consider other potential alternatives in the review of any permits. 5. The extent (linear feet as well as discharge) of any water courses that will be impacted as a result of the proposed project. A description of any streams should include the classification (Rosgen 1995, 1996) and a description of'the biotic resources. 6. The acreage of upland habitat, by cover type, that will be eliminated because of'the proposed project. A description of all expected secondary and cumulative environmental impacts associated with this proposed work: The assessment should specify the extent and type of development proposed for the project area,once the work is complete and how future growth will be maintained and supported with regard to sewer lines, water lines, parking areas, and any proposed roadways. 8. A discussion about the extent to which the project will result in the loss, degradation, or fragmentation of wildlife habitat from direct construction impacts and from secondary development impacts. 9. Mitigation measures that will be employed to avoid, eliminate, reduce, or compensate for habitat value losses (wetland, riverine, and upland) associated with, any phase of the proposed project. We appreciate the opportunity to provide these comments. If we can be of assistance or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Bryan Tompkins of our staff at 828/258 -3939, Ext. 240.
