4. Project Description and History
4a. 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 Lower Coddle Creek Interceptor project limits consist of a variable width, 33,800-foot long corridor beginning at Coddle Creek Drive SW, and extending southeast along the floodplain
of Coddle Creek to Rocky River Road (Figures 1 and 2, Attachment A).
The project area consists of undeveloped forest, a maintained sewer line right-of-way, a maintained pewerline right-of-way, gravel roads, and maintained lawns. On -site elevations range
from 520-600 feet above mean sea level (Figure 2). Land cover within the project area consists of mixed forest, deciduous forest, herbaceous area, woody wetlands, and emergent
wetlands (Figure 3). The surrounding land use consists of undeveloped forested areas, multi -and single family housing developments, and commercial properties.
According to the United States Department of Agriculture - Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS) Web Soil Survey of Cabarrus County (Figure 4) and the NRCS
Published Soil Survey for Cabarrus County (Figure 5), on -site soils consist of eleven soil
types. Of these soils, Armenia loam (ArA), Chewacla sandy loam (ChA), Iredell loam (IdA), and Wehadkee loam (WeA) are listed on the Web Soil Survey as containing hydric inclusions.
A review of the NWI GIS layer depicts a freshwater forested/shrub wetland and a riverine system flowing on and off of the project limits for the length of the site, and an emergent wetland
in the north -central portion of the project limits (Figure 6).
FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer was reviewed for the project area (FEMA Panels 3710550900K, 3710551900K, 3710551800K, 3710552800K, and 3710552700K). Various sections of
the study area are located within the Regulatory Floodway Zones, 1% Annual Chance Flood Hazard, and 2% Annual Chance Flood Hazard Zones (Figure 7).
Based on the results of wetland delineation performed by Carolina Wetland Services, there are 35 jurisdictional waters of the U.S. located within the project boundary totaling
approximately 2.20 acres, including 2,628 linear feet of jurisdictional stream channel (Figures 8-8E).
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?*
O Yes 0 No O Unknown
If yes, please give the DWR Certification number or the Corps Action ID (exp. SAW-0000-00000).
The Lower Coddle Creek Interceptor project was originally submitted to the USAGE and NCDEQ on March 10, 2021 (SAW-2021-00521; DWR #20-1347). A response to agency comments
was sent to the USACE and NCDEQ on April 30, 2021 (Attachment J). The 401 was issued by NCDEQ on September 8, 2021 (Attachment K), and the 404 was issued by the USACE on
August 30, 2021 (Attachment L). Permanent wetland impacts requiring mitigation totaled 0.223 acre and the fees associated with those impacts were paid and a receipt was received on
September 22, 2021 (Attachment M).
This new submission is to address modifications made to the original NWP which are listed below:
S39-S42 (Sheet EC-13; Attachment F)
At this location of Coddle Creek, the original plans were to perform 170 If of stream bank stabilization using boulder toe (Impact No. S39 of original NWP) to protect the new sewer on the
east side of Coddle Creek. This section of Coddle Creek is in close proximity to a residence, and ultimately it was decided that trying to install the new sewer here would have risked the
integrity of the structure.
The new plans are to cross Coddle Creek to the west side and then back over to the east to avoid the high risk area altogether. Impacts associated with these two crossings include 80 If of
temporary construction disturbance (40 If per crossing) and 160 If of permanent impacts for stream bank stabilization (80 If per crossing). Overall these impacts will result in an additional
80 If of temporary impacts and a reduction of 10 If of permanent impacts.
S62 & 63 (Sheet EC-19; Attachment F)
This access easement was added so that WSACC can gain access to the existing 30-inch sanitary sewer main and the proposed parallel 36-inch sewer main on the west side of Coddle
Creek. This location was optimal as it will provide long-term access to the sewer for future maintenance and repairs and is the least encumbrance to the property owners in this area.
The new impacts associated with this easement include one at -grade crossing. Construction disturbance will result in 40 If of temporary impacts and the crossing will result in 12 If of
permanent impacts.
W14 & W15 (Sheet EC-5A; Attachment F)
This access easement was added so that WSACC can gain access to the existing 30-inch sewer main that runs along the east side of Coddle Creek. This location was optimal as it is the
least encumbrance to the property owners in this area.
The new impacts associated with this easement include two wetland crossings. There will be a permanent crossing across forested Wetland MBC, resulting in 0.002 acre of permanent
impacts, and a temporary crossing across herbaceous Wetland MBAA, resulting in 0.07 acre of temporary disturbance.
The total amount of permanent stream impacts associated with the culverts and at -grade crossings total 0.011 acre, keeping the project below the mitigation threshold of 0.02 acre.
The total amount of additional permanent wetland impacts requiring mitigation is 0.002 acre.
4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
0.81
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
557 Intermittent; 2,071 perennial
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: *
The Lower Coddle Creek Interceptor project involves installing a new sewerline running along Coddle Creek. The proposed sewerline will be placed next to an existing deteriorating
sewerline that will be abandoned. This project will provide for future wastewater needs in Cabarrus County.

4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: *
Under Nationwide Permit (NWP) Nos. 58 and 13, proposed stream impacts associated with this sewer line construction project are due to 32 stream crossings. Out of these 32 stream
crossings, there will be six permanent at grade crossings and four permanent culvert crossings. Additionally, the project proposes 16 wetland crossings and stream bank restoration that
will result in permanent impacts.
The proposed impacts and construction plan details are included in the Attachment F. The proposed impacts are described in detail below.
Stream Impacts (S1-S63)
Coddle Creek and many of its tributaries are highly incised and are beginning to erode in the banks, compromising the future of the sewer line. Therefore The Water and Sewer Authority of
Cabarrus County is proposing to perform a total of 1,780 linear feet of stream bank restoration using permanent techniques such as boulder toe (Sheet D-4, Detail 4-F, Attachment F), mat
and plantings (Sheet D-5, Detail 5-A, Attachment F), and rip rap (Sheet D-5, Detail 5-B, Attachment F).
All stream sewer line crossings will be constructed via open trench. The temporary impacts were calculated based on the width of the construction corridor and will include the temporary
dewatering devices required in order to construct the sewer line in the dry, temporary stream crossings, sewer line installation, and bank stabilization. Proposed temporary stream impacts
total 1,152 linear feet. Permanent stream impacts associated with stream crossings total 152 linear feet, but will only result in 80 linear feet of permanent loss of water.
The six proposed permanent at grade crossings are required to provide access for maintenance and will be constructed at existing grade using armorflex (Sheet D-3, Detail 3-D,
Attachment F). All at grade crossings will be limited to 12 linear feet, totalling 72 linear feet.
The four proposed permanent culvert crossings are required to provide access for maintenance across streams that were too incised and steep to use at grade crossings (Sheet D-3,
Detail 3-B, Attachment F). All culvert crossings will be limited to 20 linear feet, totalling 80 linear feet.
All areas disturbed by the work shall be re -graded to leave the area in a smooth condition, sloped for drainage and stabilized. All impacted stream banks shall be permanently stabilized
with rip rap below the ordinary high water mark and seeding and mulch with woven coir net above the ordinary high water mark. Riprap will be keyed at the level of existing grade (Sheet
D-5, Detail 5-B, Attachment F). The project is located within urban watershed, therefore rip rap below the ordinary high water mark is required to protect the installed utility crossing.
The Water and Sewer Authority of Cabarrus County will be requesting a waiver for the Water Quality Certification #4276 Activity Condition No. 4 due to constraints associated with sewer
main construction and construction access. The construction techniques being used including, coffer dams, excavation, and temporary bridgemat stream crossings require a larger
temporary construction corridor in order to safely and effectively perform the work.
Wetland Impacts (W1-W25)
Proposed impacts to jurisdictional wetlands total approximately 0.522 acres. The proposed permanent wetland impacts total 0.225 acres. The permanent impacts are the result of a
permanently maintained easement through forested wetland, where forested wetland will be mechanically cleared and permanently converted to maintained herbaceous wetland. The
temporary wetland impacts total 0.297 acre and are the result of temporary clearing and fill for construction.
All disturbed areas will be returned to original grade and seeded with a native seed mix within 90 days of completion of the project. Planting of canopy and shrub species is not proposed.
The undisturbed canopy and shrub species abutting the project corridor will naturally reseed the non -maintained portions of the corridor and will provide an assortment of existing and
diverse native vegetation that matches the abutting species.

3i. Total jurisdictional ditch impact in square feet:
0
3i. Total permanent stream impacts:
1,932
3i. Total stream and ditch impacts:
3084
3i. Total temporary stream impacts:
1,152
3j. Comments:
Temporary stream impacts are the result of open cut sewer crossings and dewatering devices. Permanent impacts are the result of stream bank
restoration, bank stabilization, and permanent crossings via culverts and at grade crossings. Total loss of waters is 80 If. There is no additional loss of
waters with this new submission
E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Impacts to on -site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent practicable. The Lower Coddle Creek Interceptor project
has been designed to avoid impacts to jurisdictional waters wherever possible and minimize the extent of necessary impacts to jurisdictional waters.
In the original design there were seven permanent culvert crossings proposed and two of those were removed and one was changed to an at grade
crossing to reduce the permanent impacts and loss of waters. The at grade crossings were originally designed to be 20 linear feet, and that number was
reduced down to 12 linear feet to reduce permanent impacts. The widths of the permanent crossings have been limited to 12 linear feet for at grade and
20 linear feet for culverts for the entire 33,800 If project.
All proposed stream crossings are perpendicular or near perpendicular.
The original design encroached on the 10-foot buffer along Coddle Creek, and the temporary construction easements were re -designed to provide a 60-
foot corridor to allow for plenty of room for construction while maintaining a safe distance from Coddle Creek.
Trenchless boring under the creek was considered, but this carries the risk of "blow out" of the stream bed where bore pressures exceed the capacity of
the stream bed. Therefore, boring the proposed stream crossings would greatly increase the safety risk to persons and property during construction, as
well as the potential environmental impacts as compared with a more controlled open trench installation. Therefore, the trenchless boring option was
abandoned from further consideration.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Best Management Practices (BMP's) will be implemented during construction to avoid further Impacts. Proper sediment and erosion control measures
will be used to minimize disturbances to downstream waters. All channel work will be constructed in the dry in accordance with Water Quality
Certification Nos. 4245 and 4276.
Timber mats will be utilized within wetland areas to prevent rutting and all impacted areas will be returned to their pre -impact grades.
All impacted stream banks shall be permanently stabilized with rip rap below the ordinary high water mark and seeding and mulch with woven coir net
above the ordinary high water mark. Riprap will be keyed at the level of existing grade. For shallow streams, matting and seeding methods will be used
to stabilize the sewer crossing instead of rip rap to reduce permanent impacts.

To determine which protected species are listed as occurring or potentially occurring within the project vicinity and prior to conducting the on -site field
investigation, CWS consulted the United States Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS) Endangered and Threatened Species and Species of Concern by
County for North Carolina online database for Cabarrus County. In addition, CWS performed a data review using the North Carolina Natural Heritage
Program (NCNHP) Data Explorer to determine if any record occurrences of federally -listed, candidate endangered, threatened species, or critical habitat
were located within the project limits and conducted a habitat assessment within the study area. The results of the desktop review and habitat
assessment are included in the Protected Species Habitat Assessment report (Attachment G).
