Subject: Stowe Regional Water Resource Recovery Facility
& Associated Infrastructure Projects (SAW-2019-01988, DWR # 20-0405)
Clean Water Action Section 10/404/401 Permit Modification
Mr. Roden -Reynolds and Mr. Perez,
The Stowe Regional Water Resource Recovery Facility (RWRRF) & Associated
Infrastructure Projects (the Project) is proposed to be a regional water resource recovery
facility (RWRRF) (Figure 1-2, Appendix A). Over a series of construction and
implementation phases, the Project would provide regional wastewater treatment capacity
for existing customers and for anticipated population growth in northwestern Mecklenburg
County and eastern Gaston County by treating wastewater from Mt. Holly, Belmont,
Clariant, and the Long Creek Basin in Mecklenburg County.
Project Background
On May 28, 2020, the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) issued a Clean
Water Act (CWA) Section 10, Nationwide Permit (NWP) 12 (Utility Line Activities), and
NWP 14 (Linear Transportation Projects) (SAW-2019-01988) for the Project. On May 21,
2020, the NC Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Division of Water Resources
(DWR) issued a CWA Section 401 Water Quality Certification 4139 (DWR #20-0405) to
also include authorization without mitigation for Catawba River Buffer Rule impacts. A
modification to these authorizations was submitted on November 11, 2021, which was
subsequently approved by the USACE on November 17, 2021 (Appendix B), and NCDEQ-
DWR on January 31, 2022 (Appendix C).

Stowe RWRRF & Associated Infrastructure Projects
Permit Modification I SAW-2019-01988 and DWR# 20-0405
These approvals expired in March of 2022; however as current and ongoing construction
of the Project is not expected to be completed before the end of the current grace period
(March 2023), new agency authorization would be required. Therefore, HDR is submitting
this pre -construction notification (PCN) for Section 10, NWP 14, and NWP 58 (Utility Line
Activities for Water and Other Substances) during the current grace period for the Project.
Included in the submittal will be a revision to impacts due to advanced planning, as well as
the redesign of a site access road related to property transfer issues between the
applicant and the seller of a parcel within the original Project Area. Project design changes
have necessitated a change to the Project boundary (Figure 3, Appendix A) as well as
updates to the approved permits, which are discussed herein.
Jurisdictional Determination
The USACE issued an Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) on July 31, 2020
under SAW-2019-01988, which was amended on December 7, 2021 (Appendix D). On
April 15th, 2022 two wetland scientists from HDR delineated an additional three acres
associated with the site access road redesign noted above. A Preliminary Jurisdictional
Determination (PJD) request to include these additional features in the updated Project
Area can be found in Appendix E. Figures associated with this PJD modification request
are in Appendix A (Figures 1-7).
Nationwide Permits 14 and 58
This section serves to reintroduce the Project briefly; however, details of the proposed
Project are included in the Pre -Construction Notification (PCN, Appendix F).
In 2020, the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) requested that the Applicant submit a
project -wide Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 10 and Section 404 application to include
future construction projects (elements) that would propose impacts to Waters of the U.S.
(WoUS). The Project consists of three major Phases and this permit will take a phased
approach, providing design and details on the most imminent phase of the Project (Phase
1, which has commenced) and now Phase 2a, while providing only high-level planning
details for future elements yet to be designed. Impacts to Section 10 waters (Catawba
River), Section 404 WoUS, Non -Section 404 isolated waters, and Catawba River Buffer
impacts are anticipated.
Introduction
The Project is located in both Mecklenburg and Gaston Counties, which also spans the
Catawba River (Figure 1, Appendix A). This Project proposes a RWRRF (Stowe RWRRF)
in Mecklenburg County, located approximately adjacent to the existing Long Creek
Pumping Station (PS). This regional facility would initially have a treatment capacity of 15
million gallons per day (mgd) and would have the ability to take wastewater flows from two
existing facilities: the Mt. Holly Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) and Clariant, an
Page 12

Stowe RWRRF & Associated Infrastructure Projects
Permit Modification I SAW-2019-01988 and DWR# 20-0405
adjacent industrial facility; and wastewater flows from the Long Creek basin (Figure 9,
Appendix A). Through a future expansion, the Stowe RWRRF would treat 25 mgd and be
able to handle wastewater flows from the Belmont Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP)
via the Paw Creek PS (Figure 12, Appendix A).
Once connected to the Stowe RWRRF through the proposed Project, the effluent outfalls
at the Mt. Holly WRF and the Belmont WWTP would be eliminated. Prior to the Stowe
RWRRF construction, the Charlotte Water wastewater treatment system would treat flows
from the Mt. Holly WRF and the Belmont WWTP. It would also eliminate the need for
expansions and rehabilitations of the outdated Mt. Holly and Belmont facilities while still
serving existing and anticipated treatment capacity needs for the region.
To support the regional facility construction and provide treatment needs for the facilities
mentioned above, the project will be implemented in phases. In Phases 1 a through 1 c, the
existing Long Creek P5 would be replaced with a new pumping station and headworks
facility in order handle wastewater flows from the Mt. Holly WRF (Figure 9, Appendix A).
These flows would be pumped beneath the Catawba River to the replaced Long Creek PS
by horizontal directional drilling (HDD) methods, would continue from the current Long
Creek P5 site to the Paw Creek P5, and then on to larger Charlotte Water treatment
facilities via the existing system (Figure 9, Appendix A). A new pumping station would be
constructed at the Mt. Holly WRF site so that the WRF could be decommissioned.
Additionally, access roads and power transmission would be constructed to the regional
facility location.
In Phase 2a, the RWRRF would be constructed and flows that are currently being pumped
to the Paw Creek PS (via the Long Creek PS) would now be pumped to the RWRRF
(Figure 9, Appendix A). In Phase 2b, a new pumping station at the existing Belmont
WWTP would be constructed to convey wastewater flows through a new forcemain
aligned with an existing railroad right of way, crossing beneath the Catawba River, to the
existing Paw Creek P5 (Figure 9, Appendix A). Flows from the Paw Creek P5 would
continue to be pumped either to the existing McAlpine Creek Wastewater Management
Facility (WWMF) or the Irwin WWTP via existing forcemains. This route is preliminary and
could be adjusted in detailed design. In Phase 3, the 15 mgd treatment capacity of the
RWRRF would be expanded to a future 25 mgd treatment capacity and flows from the
Paw Creek PS would be rerouted to the Long Creek PS and on to the regional facility.
Phase 3 is contingent on area growth and could easily be 10+ years.
Impacts to Section 10 waters (Catawba River), Section 404 WoUS, Non -Section 404
isolated waters, and Catawba River Buffer impacts are anticipated (Table 1). This permit
application seeks reauthorization for Phases la and 1 c, authorization for updates to Phase
lb, and authorization for Phase 2a.

The northern access road was rerouted to still provide access to the Stowe RWRRF from
Belmeade Drive and crosses two tributaries (new Impacts 12-14) to Long Creek that were
not previously permitted. This permit application also seeks authorization for ongoing work
(Impact 6) that commenced prior to the existing permit expiration for the southern access
road crossing. It is assumed that each of the three crossings are separate and complete
projects. A summary of impacts under NWP 14 is provide in Table 3, below. The three
separate road crossings are as follows:
1) Impact 6 is a crossing of Long Creek and was previously authorized under NWP
14. Previous authorization also included buffer authorization without mitigation for
Page l4

Stowe RWRRF & Associated Infrastructure Projects
Permit Modification I SAW-2019-01988 and DWR# 20-0405
impacts to the Catawba River Buffer. Mitigation for Impact 6 (Wetland 12) was also
previously paid (Appendix H).
2) Impacts 12 and 13 are associated with a tributary crossing to Long Creek for the
rerouted northern access road that was not previously authorized. The Catawba
River Buffer does not apply to this crossing.
3) Impact 14 is associated with a tributary crossing to Long Creek for the rerouted
northern access road that was not previously authorized. The Catawba River
Buffer does not apply to this crossing.

Nationwide Permit No. 58
Under NWP 58 this permit application seeks authorization for previously authorized work
(under NWP 12) for Impacts 1, 2, and 7 that commenced prior to the expiration of the
existing permits (Table 4). Note that Impact 7 is a non -section 404 impact. Project updates
include design refinement for the previously authorized effluent outfall and access dock
(Impacts 8, 10, and 11). This permit application also seeks authorization under previously
authorized Section 10 for Impacts 2 and 9 for HDD crossings of the Catawba River
(navigable WoUS) and Impact 9 for a floating dock on that Catawba River that do not
result in surface water impacts. Authorization under Section 10 is also being sought for
previously authorized Impact 11 that does result in surface water impacts for the effluent
outfall rip rap apron.

MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD
SUBJECT: Department of the Army Memorandum Documenting General Permit Verification
1.0 Introduction and overview: Information about the proposal subject to one or more of the
Corps regulatory authorities is provided in Section 1, detailed evaluation of the activity is found
in Sections 2 through 4 and findings are documented in Section 5 of this memorandum.
Further, summary information about the activity including administrative history of actions
taken during project evaluation is attached (ORM2 summary).
1.1 Applicant name: Charlotte Water, Carl Wilson
1.2 Activity Iocation:Latitude: 35.2819 Longitude: -81.0025 Location description: The review area
is located between the wastewater treatment plants at the terminus of Hawfield Road
and Broome Street.
1.3 Description of activity requiring verification:This verification would authorize the grading
and placement of fill material in 0.23 acre of wetlands to facilitate the construction of
Stowe Regional Water Resource Recovery facility and associated infrastructure. This
verification also authorizes the installation of sewer force main under the Catawba River
by means of horizontal directional drill.
1.4 Is this an After -the -Fact verification? No.
1.5 Date PCN determined complete for processing 3/25/2020
1.6 Jurisdiction Determination completed? An Approved JD was completed on 5/28/2020.
1.7 Permit authority: Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 (33 USC 403) and
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344)
1.8 Applicable Permit: NWP 12. Utility Lines and NWP 14. Linear Transportation Projects
1.9 Activity requires written waiver of NWP limits? No.
1.10 Activity requires a waiver from the requirements of a regional conditions)? No.
2.0 Evaluation of the Pre -Construction Notification
2.1 Direct and indirect effects caused by the GP activity: The direct effects of the proposed
activity in waters would include the Toss of jurisdictional waters (as specified in Section
1.3) and their associated aquatic resource functions. The proposed activity also has the
potential to result in indirect effects to waters including excess sedimentation in
downstream waters, disruption and/or killing of aquatic life in the direct vicinity of the
project area, increase of downstream flows, and blocking/restricting aquatic life
passage transiting in and through the project area. These indirect effects are expected
to be minimal due to design criteria and Best Management Practices (BMPs) required by
Nationwide Permit General and Regional Conditions. Additionally, indirect effects would
be further reduced through the implementation of BMPs required by state, local, and
Federal ordinances and regulations.

SAW-2019-01988
2.2 Site specific factors: This area has a long history of intensive land use which has resulted
in long term degradation to aquatic resources. Given the largely urban nature of the
watershed, the waters within the project area provide important aquatic resource
functions to downstream waters. The loss of these functions in this setting and in the
proposed quantities necessitates compensatory mitigation to ensure that cumulative
impacts to onsite and downstream aquatic resources are individually and cumulatively
minimal.
2.3 Coordination
2.3.1 Was the PCN coordinated with other agencies? Yes. This PCN was coordinated with the
USFWS for Section 7 ESA consultation.
If yes, describe results including resolution of any concerns. Agency coordination with the
USFWS is required for the Northern Long Eared Bat. However, the Corps is not required
to wait for a response from the USFWS Asheville Office in accordance with local
procedures.
2.3.2 Was the PCN coordinated with other Corps offices? No.
2.4 Mitigation
2.4.1 Provide brief description of how the activity has been designed on -site to avoid and minimize
adverse effects, both temporary and permanent, to waters of the United States to the
maximum extent practicable at the project site:The applicant provided a detailed statement
describing their efforts to avoid and minimized impacts to waters of the United States
on the project site in the preconstruction notification. Based on this information, the
Corps believes the applicant has avoid and minimized impacts to waters of the United
State to the maximum extent practicable.
2.4.2 Is compensatory mitigation required for unavoidable impacts to jurisdictional aquatic resources
to reduce the individual and cumulative adverse environmental effects to a minimal level?
Yes.
Provide rationale: Compensatory mitigation is required to ensure minimal adverse
environmental effects. The loss of wetlands associated with the activity is greater than
0.10 acre.
2.4.3 Type and location of compensatory mitigation
Is the impact in the service area of an approved mitigation bank? No.
If yes, does the mitigation bank have appropriate number and resource type of credits
available? No.
Is the impact in the service area of an approved in -lieu fee program? Yes.
If yes, does the in -lieu fee program have the appropriate number and resource type of credits
available? Yes.

SAW-2019-01988
Selected compensatory mitigation type/location(s): See Table 1
Table 1: Mitigation Type and Location
Mitigation bank credits
In -lieu fee program credits
X
Permittee-responsible mitigation under a watershed approach
Permittee-responsible mitigation, on -site and in -kind
Permittee-responsible mitigation, off -site and/or out of kind
Does the selected compensatory mitigation option deviate from the order of the options
presented in §332.3(b)(2)-(6)? No.
2.4.4 Amount of compensatory mitigation: 0.4 wetland credits
Rationale for required compensatory mitigation amount: This amount of compensatory
mitigation is necessary to replace the permanent loss of WOUS and temporal loss at the
mitigation site. No NCWAM rating was provided so a 2:1 ratio would be used.
3.0 Compliance with Other Laws, Policies and Requirements
3.1 Section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered Species Act (ESA)
3.1.1 ESA action area: The action area includes the waters of the United States that will be
directly affected by the proposed work or structures and uplands directly affected as a
result of authorizing the work or structures.
3.1.2 Has another federal agency taken steps to document compliance with Section 7 of the ESA
and completed consultation(s) as required? No.
3.1.3 Known species/critical habitat present? Yes.
IPAC Species in Mecklenburg County:
Name: Atlantic pigtoe (Fusconaia masoni) Status: Proposed Threatened
Name: Carolina heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorata) Status: Endangered
Name: Harperella (Ptilimnium nodosum) Status: Endangered
Name: Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxii) Status: Endangered
Name: Northern Long -Eared Bat (Myotis septentrionalis) Status: Threatened
Name: Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii) Status: Endangered
Name: Smooth coneflower (Echinacea laevigata) Status: Endangered
Effect determination(s), including no effect, for all known species/habitat, and basis for
determination(s): Based on the latest version of the Natural Heritage Program's NHEO
data and a site visit, there are no protected species located within or in the vicinity of
the action area. Based on the NHEO data, a Corps field review, and a assessment
conducted by the agent, the Corps has determined the proposed activity will not
directly or indirectly affect any species subject to the ESA.
3.1.4 Consultation with either the National Marine Fisheries Service and/or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service was initiated and completed as required, for any determinations other than "no effect"
(see the attached "Summary" sheet for begin date, end date and closure method of the
consultation).

SAW-2019-01988
The USACE reviewed this project in accordance with (IAW) the NLEB Standard Local
Operating Procedures for Endangered Species (SLOPES) between the USAGE,
Wilmington District, and the Asheville and Raleigh U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(Service) Offices, and determined that the action area for this project is located outside
of the highlighted areas/red 12-digit HUCs and activities in the action area do not
require prohibited incidental take; as such, this project meets the criteria for the 4(d)
rule and any associated take is exempted/excepted. IAW the NLEB SLOPES, the USACE
sent a Situation 1 email to the Service on 5/27/2020, informing them about this project.
Service Concurrence: as established in the NLEB SLOPES, this project does not require
prohibited intentional take of the NLEB and it meets the criteria for the 4(d) rule;
therefore any associated take is exempt and it is not necessary for the USACE to wait
30 days for the Service to object or concur.
Based on a review of the information above, the Corps has determined that it has fulfilled its
responsibilities under Section 7(a)(2) of the ESA.
3.2 Magnuson -Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, Essential Fish Habitat
(EFH) The NWPs/RGPs were coordinated with the NMFS during the permit renewal
process. NMFS coordination/EFH consultation is required if the activity affects SAV.
This activity does not affect SAV. Therefore, NMFS coordination/EFH consultation has
been completed.
3.2.1 Has another federal agency taken steps to comply with EFH provisions of Magnuson -Stevens
Act? No.
3.2.2 Did the proposed project require review under the Magnuson -Stevens Act? No.
3.3 Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (Section 106)
3.3.1 Section 106 permit area:The permit area includes only those areas comprising waters of the
United States that will be directly affected by the proposed work or structures. Activities
outside of waters of the U.S. are not included because all three tests identified in 33
CFR 325, Appendix C(g)(1) have not been met.
Final description of the permit area: The permit area is limited to impacted waters.
3.3.2 Has another federal agency taken steps to comply with Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act and completed consultation(s) as required? No.
3.3.3 Known cultural resource sites present and/or survey or other additional information needed?
No. Based on the NCDCR "HPOWEB" service, aerial photographs, and a site visit, there
are no known historic properties located in the permit area or in close proximity to the
permit area.
Effect determination and basis for that determination: The Corps has determined the
proposed activity has no potential to cause effects to properties listed or eligible for
listing in the National Register of Historic Places, because the project is located in areas
that have been extensively modified. This activity is so limited in nature and scope that
there is little likelihood of impinging upon a historic property even if such properties

SAW-2019-01988
were present within the affected area(s). The site has been mass graded in most areas
due to various past industrial land use.
3.3.4 Consultation was initiated and completed as required with the appropriate agencies, tribes
and/or other parties for any determinations other than no potential to cause effects" (see the
attached "Summary" sheet for consultation type, begin date, end date and closure method of
the consultation). The Corps has determined that it has fulfilled its responsibilities under
Section 106 of the NHPA.
3.4 Tribal Trust Responsibilities
3.4.1 Was government -to -government consultation conducted with Federally -recognized Tribe(s)?
No. There are no known tribal interests in the project area.
Provide a description of any consultation(s) conducted including results and how concerns
about significant effects to protected tribal resources, tribal rights and/or Indian lands were
addressed. The Corps has determined that it has fulfilled its tribal trust responsibilities.
3.4.2 Other Tribal including any discussion of Tribal Treaty rights? Select Yes or No.
3.5 Section 401 of the Clean Water Act — Water Quality Certification (WQC)
3.5.1 Is a Section 401 WQC required, and if so, has the certification been issued or waived? A
general WQC has been issued for this permit.

waived or presumed? N/A, a CZMA consistency concurrence is not required.
3.7 Wild and Scenic Rivers Act
3.7.1 Is the projectlocated in a component of the National Wild and Scenic River System, or in a
river officially designated by Congress as a "study river" for possible inclusion in the system?
No. According to http://www.rivers.gov, the proposed project area is not within a
designated or study river.
3.8 Effects on Corps Civil Works Projects (33 USC 408)
3.8.1 Does the applicant also require permission under Section 14 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (33
USC 408) because the activity, in whole or in part, would alter, occupy, or use a Corps Civil
Works project? No, there are no Corps Civil Works project(s) in or near the vicinity of the
proposal.
4.0 Special Conditions
4.1 Are special conditions required to ensure minimal effects, protect the public interest and/or
ensure compliance of the activity with any of the laws above? Yes.

permitslwastewater-branch1401-wetlands-buffer-permits1401-401-isolated-wetlands-waters-
program The General Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 39 once it is
issued to you by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE). In addition, associated impacts are
authorized by the Catawba Riparian Buffer Rule (15A NCAC 02B .0243 and the conditions listed
below. Please note that you should get any other federal, state or local permits before
proceeding with your project, including those required by (but not limited to) Sediment and
Erosion Control, Non -Discharge, and Water Supply Watershed regulations.
The above noted Certification will expire when the associated 404 permit expires unless
otherwise specified in the General Certification and Buffer Authorization. It is advised that all
conditions of the Certification are reviewed prior to initiation of the project. In addition to the
requirements of the Certification, you must also comply with the following conditions:
1. This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your
application. If you change your project, you must notify us in writing, and you may be
required to send us a new application for a new Certification/Authorization. If total
wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, or of total impacts to
streams (now or in the future) exceed 300 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be
required. Additional buffer impacts may require compensatory mitigation as described in
15A NCAC .0244(9). If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the
Certification and approval letter; and is thereby responsible for complying with all

specifications for this project are incorporated by reference as part of this Water Quality Certification. If
you change your project, you must notify the Division and you may be required to submit a new
application package with the appropriate fee. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy
of this Certification and is responsible for complying with all conditions. (15A NCAC 02H .05070)(2)1
This Water Quality Certification does not relieve the permittee of the responsibility to obtain all other
required Federal, State, or Local approvals before proceeding with the project, including those required
by, but not limited to, Sediment and Erosion Control, Non -Discharge, Water Supply Watershed, and
Trout Buffer regulations.
This Water Quality Certification neither grants nor affirms any property right, license, or privilege in any
lands or waters, or any right of use in any waters. This Water Quality Certification does not authorize
any person to interfere with the riparian rights, littoral rights, or water use rights of any other person
and does not create any prescriptive right or any right of priority regarding any usage of water. This
Water Quality Certification shall not be interposed as a defense in any action respecting the
determination of riparian or littoral rights or other rights to water use. No consumptive user is deemed
by virtue of this Water Quality Certification to possess any prescriptive or other right of priority with
respect to any other consumptive user regardless of the quantity of the withdrawal or the date on which
the withdrawal was initiated or expanded.
Upon the presentation of proper credentials, the Division may inspect the property.
This Water Quality Certification shall expire on the same day as the expiration date of the corresponding

Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
A. Preliminary Determination
❑ There appear to be waters, including wetlands on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404
of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). The
waters, including wetlands have been delineated, and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently accurate
and reliable. The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated DATE. Therefore
this preliminary jurisdiction determination may be used in the permit evaluation process, including determining compensatory
mitigation. For purposes of computation of impacts, compensatory mitigation requirements, and other resource protection
measures, a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat all waters and wetlands that would be affected in any
way by the permitted activity an the site as if they are jurisdictional waters of the U.S. This preliminary determination is not an
appealable action under the Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process (Reference 33 CFR Part 331). However, you may
request an approved JD, which is an appealable action, by contacting the Corps district for further instruction.
❑ There appear to be waters, including wetlands on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404
of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403).
However, since the waters, including wetlands have not been properly delineated, this preliminary jurisdiction determination
may not be used in the permit evaluation process. Without a verified wetland delineation, this preliminary determination is
merely an effective presumption of CWA/RHA jurisdiction aver all of the waters, including wetlands at the project area, which
is not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision. We recommend that you have the waters,
including wetlands on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland
delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps.
B. Approved Determination
❑ There are Navigable Waters of the United States within the above described project area/property subject to the permit
requirements of Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403) and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
(CWA)(33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for
a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
® There are waters, including wetlandson the above described project area/property subject to the permit requirements of Section
404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) (33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this
determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
El We recommend you have the waters, including wetlands on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be
able to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that
can be verified by the Corps.

The waters, including wetlands on your project area/property have been delineated and the delineation has been verified by
the Corps. The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated 3/18/2020. We strongly
suggest you have this delineation surveyed. Upon completion, this survey should be reviewed and verified by the Corps. Once
verified, this survey will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to CWA jurisdiction on your property which, provided
there is no change in the law or our published regulations, may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years.
El The waters, including wetlands have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat signed by the
Corps Regulatory Official identified below onDATE. Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this
determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
El There are no waters of the U.S., to include wetlands, present on the above described project area/property which are subject to the
permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published
regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
El The property is located in one of the 20 Coastal Counties subject to regulation under the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA).
You should contact the Division of Coastal Management in Morehead City, NC, at [phone] to determine their
requirements.
Placement of dredged or fill material within waters of the US, including wetlands, without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC § 1311). Placement of dredged or fill material, construction or
placement of structures, or work within navigable waters of the United States without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Sections 9 and/or 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (33 USC § 401 and/or 403). If you have any questions
regarding this determination and/or the Corps regulatory program, please contact David L. Shaeffer at 704-510-1437 or

area. [Required]
❑ Waters subject to the ebb and flow of the fide.
® Waters are presently used, or have been used in the past, or may be susceptible for use to transport interstate or foreign commerce.
Explain: The Catawba River at this location is listed on the Wilmington District list of navigable waters.
B. CWA SECTION 404 DETERMINATION OF JURISDICTION.
There are "waters of the U.S." within Clean Water Act (CWA) jurisdiction (as defined by 33 CFR part 328) in the review area. [Required]
1. Waters of the U.S.
a. Indicate presence of waters of U.S. in review area (check all that apply):'
TNWs, including territorial seas
❑ Wetlands adjacent to TNWs
Relatively permanent waters2 (RPWs) that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs
ENon-RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs
® Wetlands directly abutting RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs
Wetlands adjacent to but not directly abutting RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs
❑ Wetlands adjacent to non-RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs
Elmpoundments of jurisdictional waters
❑Isolated (interstate or intrastate) waters, including isolated wetlands
h. Identify (estimate) size of waters of the U.S. in the review area:
Non -wetland waters: 13,249 linear feet, wide, and/or 12.31 acres.
Wetlands: 32.44 acres.
c. Limits (boundaries) of jurisdiction based on: Established OIIWM
Elevation of established OHWM (if known):
Boxes checked below shall be supported by completing the appropriate sections in Section III below.
2 For purposes of this form, an RPW is defined as a tributary that is not a TNW and that typically flows year-round or has continuous flow at least "seasonally"
(e.g., typically 3 months).

2. Non -regulated waters/wetlands (check if applicable):3
® Potentially jurisdictional waters and/or wetlands were assessed within the review area and determined to be not jurisdictional.
Explain: Wetland 8 and Wetland 9 were determined to be isolated features due to lack of evidence of a surface water
connection. The two onsite sludge ponds were determined to be constructed in uplands and not an impoundment of waters
of the United States.
SECTION III: CWA ANALYSIS
A. TNWs AND WETLANDS ADJACENT TO TNWs
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over TNWs and wetlands adjacent to TNWs. If the aquatic resource is a TNW, complete
Section 1II.A.1 and Section 111.D.1. only; if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW, complete Sections III.A_] and 2
and Section III.D.1.; otherwise, see Section III.B below.
1. TNW
Identity TNW:
Summarize rationale supporting determination:
2. Wetlandadjacent to TNW
Summarize rationale supporting conclusion that wetland is "adjacent":
B. CHARACTERISTICS OF TRIBUTARY (THAT IS NOT A TNW) AND ITS ADJACENT WETLANDS (IF ANY):
This section summarizes information regarding characteristics of the tributary and its adjacent wetlands, if any, and it helps
determine whether or not the standards for jurisdiction established under Rapanos have been met.
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over non -navigable tributaries of TNWs where the tributaries are "relatively permanent
waters" (RPWs), i.e. tributaries that typically flow year-round or have continuous flow at least seasonally (e.g., typically 3
months). A wetland that directly abuts an RPW is also jurisdictional. If the aquatic resource is not a TNW, but has year-round
(perennial) flow, skip to Section III.D.2. If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow,
skip to Section III.D.4.
A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abut an RPW requires a significant nexus evaluation. Corps districts and
EPA regions will include in the record any available information that documents the existence of a significant nexus between a
relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial (and its adjacent wetlands if any) and a traditional navigable water, even
though a significant nexus finding is not required as a matter of law.
If the waterhody4 is not an RPW, or a wetland directly abutting an RPW, a JD will require additional data to determine if the
waterbody has a significant nexus with a TNW. If the tributary has adjacent wetlands, the significant nexus evaluation must
consider the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands. This significant nexus evaluation that combines, for
analytical purposes, the tributary and all of its adjacent wetlands is used whether the review area identified in the JD request is
the tributary, or its adjacent wetlands, or both. if the JD covers a tributary with adjacent wetlands, complete Section I1I.B.1 for
the tributary, Section III.B.2 for any onsite wetlands, and Section III.B.3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary, both onsite
and offsite. The determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section III.0 below.

5Flow route can be described by identifying, e.g., tributary a, which flows through the review area, to flow into tributary 6, which then flows into TNW.
6A natural or man-made discontinuity in the OHWM does not necessarily sever jurisdiction (e.g., where the stream temporarily flows underground, or where
the OHWM has been removed by development or agricultural practices). Where there is a break in the OHWM that is unrelated to the waterbody's flow
regime (e.g., flow over a rock outcrop or through a culvert), the agencies will look for indicators of flow above and below the break.

A significant nexus analysis will assess the flow characteristics and functions of the tributary itself and the functions performed
by any wetlands adjacent to the tributary to determine if they significantly affect the chemical, physical, and biological integrity
of a TNW. For each of the following situations, a significant nexus exists if the tributary, in combination with all of its adjacent
wetlands, has more than a speculative or insubstantial effect on the chemical, physical and/or biological integrity of a TNW.
Considerations when evaluating significant nexus include, but are not limited to the volume, duration, and frequency of the flow
of water in the tributary and its proximity to a TNW, and the functions performed by the tributary and all its adjacent
wetlands. It is not appropriate to determine significant nexus based solely on any specific threshold of distance (e.g. between a
tributary and its adjacent wetland or between a tributary and the TNW). Similarly, the fact an adjacent wetland lies within or
outside of a floodplain is not solely determinative of significant nexus.
Draw connections between the features documented and the effects on the TNW, as identified in the Rapanos Guidance and
discussed in the Instructional Guidebook. Factors to consider include, for example:
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to carry pollutants or flood waters to
TNWs, or to reduce the amount of pollutants or flood waters reaching a TNW?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), provide habitat and lifecycle support functions for fish and
other species, such as feeding, nesting, spawning, or rearing young for species that are present in the TNW?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to transfer nutrients and organic carbon that
support downstream food webs?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have other relationships to the physical, chemical, or
biological integrity of the TNW?
Note: the above list of considerations is not inclusive and other functions observed or known to occur should be documented
below:
1. Significant nexus findings for non-RPW that has no adjacent wetlands and flows directly or indirectly into TNWs. Explain
findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary itself, then go to Section III.D:
2. Significant nexus findings for non-RPW and its adjacent wetlands, where the non-RPW flows directly or indirectly into
TNWs. Explain findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary in combination with all of its
adjacent wetlands, then go to Section III.D:
3. Significant nexus findings for wetlands adjacent to an RPW but that do not directly abut the RPW. Explain findings of
presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands, then go to
Section III.D: Wetlands 2, 4, 6, 15 occur in the floodplain of Perennial RPW 1 (Long Creek) and interchange water during
flooding.

D. DETERMINATIONS OF JURISDICTIONAL FINDINGS. THE SUBJECT WATERS/WETLANDS ARE (CHECK ALL
THAT APPLY):
1. TNWs and Adjacent Wetlands. Check all that apply and provide size estimates in review area:
® TNWs: linear feet, wide, Or 3.5 acres.
❑ Wetlands adjacent to TNWs: acres.
2. RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs.
®Tributaries of TNWs where tributaries typically flow year-round are jurisdictional. Provide data and rationale indicating that
tributary is perennial: Perennial RPW 1( Long Creek) is a named blue line stream on the USGS map and has the characteristics of a
perennial stream including a defined OHWM, defined bed/bank, supports fish/other wildlife. Perennial RPPW 7 flows into a
wetland that abuts Perennial RPW 1 and has an OHWM, defined bed/bank and other indicators of perennial flow.
® Tributaries of TNW where tributaries have continuous flow "seasonally" (e.g., typically three months each year)are
jurisdictional. Data supporting this conclusion is provided at Section III.B. Provide rationale indicating that tributary flows
seasonally: Seasonal RPWs 2 through 6 have a defined OHWM, defined bed/hank, and other traits of seasonal flow.
Provide estimates for jurisdictional waters in the review area (check all that apply):
®Tributary waters: 13,249 linear feet width varies.
❑ Other non -wetland waters: acres.
Identify type(s) of waters:
3. Non-RPWsa that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs.
❑ Waterbody that is not a TNW or an RPW, but flows directly or indirectly into a TNW, and it has a significant nexus with a
TNW is jurisdictional. Data supporting this conclusion is provided at Section III.C.
Provide estimates for jurisdictional waters within the review area (check all that apply):
❑ Tributary waters: linear feet, wide.
❑ Other non -wetland waters: acres.
Identify type(s) of waters:
4. Wetlands directly abutting an RPW that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs.
® Wetlands directly abut RPW and thus are jurisdictional as adjacent wetlands.
® Wetlands directly abutting an RPW where tributaries typically flow year-round. Provide data and rationale indicating that
tributary is perennial in Section III.D.2, above. Provide rationale indicating that wetland is directly abutting an RPW:
Wetlands 5, 7, 10,11,12,13, 14,16, and 17 abut Perennial RPW 1 (Long Creek).
® Wetlands directly abutting an RPW where tributaries typically flow "seasonally." Provide data indicating that tributary is
seasonal in Section III.B and rationale in Section III.D.2, above. Provide rationale indicating that wetland is directly
abutting an RPW: Wetland I abuts Seasonal RPW 2, which flows into and out of Wetland 1.
Provide acreage estimates for jurisdictional wetlands in the review area: 22.10 acres.
5. Wetlands adjacent to but not directly abutting an RPW that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs.
® Wetlands that do not directly abut an RPW, but when considered in combination with the tributary to which they are adjacent
and with similarly situated adjacent wetlands, have a significant nexus with a TNW are jurisidictional. Data supporting this
conclusion is provided at Section III.C.
Provide acreage estimates for jurisdictional wetlands in the review area: Wetlands 2, 3, 4, 6, and 15 - 6.86 acres.
6. Wetlands adjacent to non-RPWs that flow directly or indirectly into TNWs.
❑ Wetlands adjacent to such waters, and have when considered in combination with the tributary to which they are adjacent and
with similarly situated adjacent wetlands, have a significant nexus with a TNW are jurisdictional. Data supporting this
conclusion is provided at Section III.C.
Provide estimates for jurisdictional wetlands in the review area: acres.
7. Impoundments of jurisdictional waters.'
As a general rule, the impoundment of a jurisdictional tributary remains jurisdictional.
'See Footnote 4 3.
9To complete the analysis refer to the key in Section III.D.6 of the Instructional Guidebook.

❑ Demonstrate that impoundment was created from "waters of the U.S.," or
E Demonstrate that water meets the criteria for one of the categories presented above (1-6), or

Location description: The review area is located behveen the wastewater treatment Dlants at the terminus of Hawfield Road and
Broome Street.
Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
A. Preliminary Determination
There appear to be waters, including wetlands on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404
of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). The
waters, including wetlands have been delineated, and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently accurate
and reliable. The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated 11/9/2021. Therefore
this preliminary jurisdiction determination may be used in the permit evaluation process, including determining compensatory
mitigation. For purposes of computation of impacts, compensatory mitigation requirements, and other resource protection
measures, a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat all waters and wetlands that would be affected in any
way by the permitted activity on the site as if they are jurisdictional waters of the U.S. This preliminary determination is not an
appealable action under the Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process (Reference 33 CFR Part 331). However, you may
request an approved JD, which is an appealable action, by contacting the Corps district for further instruction.
El There appear to be waters, including wetlands on the above described project area/property, that may be subject to Section 404
of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403).
However, since the waters, including wetlands have not been properly delineated, this preliminary jurisdiction determination
may not be used in the permit evaluation process. Without a verified wetland delineation, this preliminary determination is
merely an effective presumption of CWAIRHA jurisdiction over all of the waters, including wetlands at the project area, which
is not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision. We recommend that you have the waters,
including wetlands on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland
delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps.
B. Approved Determination
El There are Navigable Waters of the United States within the above described project area/property subject to the permit
requirements of Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403) and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
(CWA)(33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for
a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
El There are waters, including wetlandson the above described project area/property subject to the permit requirements of Section
404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) (33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this
determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
El We recommend you have the waters, including wetlands on your project area/property delineated. As the Corps may not be
able to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that
can be verified by the Corps.

❑ The waters, including wetlands on your project arealproperty have been delineated and the delineation has been verified by
the Corps. The approximate boundaries of these waters are shown on the enclosed delineation map dated DATE. We strongly
suggest you have this delineation surveyed. Upon completion, this survey should be reviewed and verified by the Corps. Once
verified, this survey will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to CWA jurisdiction on your property which, provided
there is no change in the law or our published regulations, may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years.
❑ The waters, including wetlands have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat signed by the
Corps Regulatory Official identified below onDATE. Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this
determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
El There are no waters of the U.S., to include wetlands, present on the above described project arealproperty which are subject to the
permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published
regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
❑ The property is located in one of the 20 Coastal Counties subject to regulation under the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA).
You should contact the Division of Coastal Management in Morehead City, NC, at [phone] to determine their
requirements.
Placement of dredged or fill material within waters of the US, including wetlands, without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC § 1311). Placement of dredged or fill material, construction or
placement of structures, or work within navigable waters of the United States without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Sections 9 andlor 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (33 USC § 401 andlor 403). If you have any questions
regarding this determination andlor the Corps regulatory program, please contact Bryan Roden -Reynolds at 704-510-1440 or

1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in the
review area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option to request
and obtain an approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an informed decision after
having discussed the various types of JDs and their characteristics and circumstances when
they may be appropriate.
2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a Nationwide
General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre- construction
notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non -reporting NWP or other general
permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an AJD for the activity, the permit
applicant is hereby made aware that: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit

authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an official determination of
jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the option to request an AJD before
accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit
authorization on an AJD could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being
required or different special conditions; (3) the applicant has the right to request an
individual permit rather than accepting the terms and conditions of the NWP or other
general permit authorization; (4) the applicant can accept a permit authorization and
thereby agree to comply with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including
whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5)
undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without
requesting an AJD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the PJD; (6)
accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered individual permit) or undertaking
any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit authorization based on a PJD
constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the review area affected in any way by
that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and waives any challenge to such jurisdiction
in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement action, or in any administrative
appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether the applicant elects to use either an AJD or
a PJD, the JD will be processed as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, a proffered
individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual permit
denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an
administrative appeal, it becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether
geographic jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an
official delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will
provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD fords that
there "may be" waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be" navigable waters of the U.S.
on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review area that could
be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:

designed to avoid all aquatic resources.
❑ I intend to construct/develop a project or perform activities on this parcel which would be
designed to avoid all jurisdictional aquatic resources under Corps authority.
Q I intend to construct/develop a project or perform activities on this parcel which may
require authorization from the Corps, and the JD would be used to avoid and minimize
impacts to jurisdictional aquatic resources and as an initial step in a future permitting
process.
I intend to construct/develop a project or perform activities on this parcel which may
require authorization from the Corps; this request is accompanied by my permit application
and the JD is to be used in the permitting process.
❑ I intend to construct/develop a project or perform activities in a navigable water of the
U.S. which is included on the district Section 10 list and/or is subject to the ebb and flow of
the tide.

Jurisdictional Determination Request
F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One)
z
o
I am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminary JD for the property identified herein.
A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) provides an indication that there may
be "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United States"on a property.
PJDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. For the purposes of permitting, all
waters and wetlands on the property will be treated as if they are jurisdictional "waters of
the United States". PJDs cannot be appealed (33 C.F.R. 331.2); however, a PJD is
"preliminary" in the sense that an approved JD can be requested at any time. PJDs do
not expire.
I am requesting that the Corps provide an approved JD for the property identified herein.
An Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) is a determination that
jurisdictional "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United
States" are either present or absent on a site. An approved JD identifies the limits of
waters on a site determined to be jurisdictional under the Clean Water Act and/or
Rivers and Harbors Act. Approved JDs are sufficient as the basis for permit
decisions. AJDs are appealable (33 C.F.R. 331.2). The results of the AJD will be
posted on the Corps website. A landowner, permit applicant, or other "affected
party" (33 C.F.R. 331.2) who receives an AJD may rely upon the AJD for five years
(subject to certain limited exceptions explained in Regulatory Guidance Letter 05-
02).
ElI am unclear as to which JD I would like to request and require additional information
to inform my decision.
G. ALL REQUESTS
O Map of Property or Project Area. This Map must clearly depict the boundaries of the
review area.
O Size of Property or Review Area 3 acres.

■ Isolated waters, waters that lack a significant nexus to navigable waters, or non -
jurisdictional upland features should be identified as Non -Jurisdictional. Please
include a justification in the label regarding why the feature is non jurisdictional (i.e.
"Isolated", "No Significant Nexus", or "Upland Feature"). Please include the acreage
or linear length of these features as appropriate.
For Preliminary Jurisdictional Determinations:
■ Wetland and non -wetland features should not be identified as Jurisdictional, 404,
Waters of the United States, or anything that implies jurisdiction. These features can be
identified as Potential Waters of the United States, Potential Non -wetland Waters of
the United States, wetland, stream, open water, etc. Please include the acreage and
linear length of these features as appropriate.

Section 404

1) The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in
the review area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option
to request and obtain an approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an
informed decision after having discussed the various types of JDs and their
characteristics and circumstances when they may be appropriate.
2) In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a
Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre -
construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non -reporting NWP or
other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an AJD for the
activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware that: (1) the permit applicant has
elected to seek a permit authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an
official determination of jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the
option to request an AJD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit
authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an AJD could possibly result
in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) the
applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting the terms
and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4) the applicant can
accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with all the terms and
conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has
determined to be necessary; (5) undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject
permit authorization without requesting an AJD constitutes the applicant's acceptance
of the use of the PJD; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered
individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit
authorization based on a PJD constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the
review area affected in any way by that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and
waives any challenge to such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance
or enforcement action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7)
whether the applicant elects to use either an AJD or a PJD, the JD will be processed
as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms
and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively
appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an administrative appeal, it
becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographic
jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official
delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will
provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds
that there "may be"waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be"navigable waters of
the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review
area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following
information:

OB Pocosin type is < 90% of the full extent of its natural landscape size.
13. Connectivity to Other Natural Areas — landscape condition metric
13a. Check appropriate box(es) (a box may be checked in each column). Involves a GIS effort with field adjustment. This metric
evaluates whether the wetland is well connected (Well) and/or loosely connected (Loosely) to the landscape patch, the contiguous
naturally vegetated area and open water (if appropriate). Boundaries are formed by four -lane roads, regularly maintained utility line
corridors the width of a four -lane road or wider, urban Landscapes, maintained fields (pasture and agriculture), or open water > 300
feet wide.
Well Loosely
OA OA ? 500 acres
OB OB From 100 to < 500 acres
❑ C ❑C From 50 to < 100 acres
El ®D From 10to<50acres
OE OE < 10 acres
OF OF Wetland type has a poor or no connection to other natural habitats
13b. Evaluate for marshes only.
O Yes ONo Wetland type has a surface hydrology connection to open waters/stream or tidal wetlands.
14. Edge Effect — wetland type condition metric (skip for all marshes and Estuarine Woody Wetland)
May involve a GIS effort with field adjustment. Estimate distance from wetland type boundary to artificial edges. Artificial edges include
non -forested areas ? 40 feet wide such as fields, development, roads, regularly maintained utility line corridors, and clear -cuts. Consider
the eight main points of the compass. Artificial edge occurs within 150 feet in how many directions? If the assessment area is clear cut,
select option "C."
OA 0
®B 1to4
❑ C 5to8
15. Vegetative Composition — assessment area condition metric (skip for all marshes and Pine Flat)
OA Vegetation is close to reference condition in species present and their proportions. Lower strata composed of appropriate
species, with exotic plants absent or sparse within the assessment area.
❑B Vegetation is different from reference condition in species diversity or proportions, but still largely composed of native species
characteristic of the wetland type. This may include communities of weedy native species that develop after clearcutting or clearing.
It also includes communities with exotics present, but not dominant, over a large portion of the expected strata.
®C Vegetation severely altered from reference in composition, or expected species are unnaturally absent (planted stands of non -
characteristic species or at least one stratum inappropriately composed of a single species), or exotic species are dominant in at
feast one stratum.
16. Vegetative Diversity — assessment area condition metric (evaluate for Non -tidal Freshwater Marsh only)
OA Vegetation diversity is high and is composed primarily of native species (< 10% cover of exotics).
®B Vegetation diversity is low or has a 10% to 50% cover of exotics.
❑ C Vegetation is dominated by exotic species (> 50 % cover of exotics).

17. Vegetative Structure — assessment area/wetland type condition metric
17a. Is vegetation present?
®Yes ❑No If Yes, continue to 17b. If No, skip to Metric 18.
17b. Evaluate percent coverage of assessment area vegetation for all marshes only. Skip to 17c for non -marsh wetlands.
®A ? 25% coverage of vegetation
❑B < 25% coverage of vegetation
17c. Check a box in each column for each stratum. Evaluate this portion of the metric for non -marsh wetlands. Consider
structure in airspace above the assessment area (AA) and the wetland type (WT) separately.

CAUTION: [EXTERNAL] This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open
attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
This email confirms receipt of your pre -filing meeting request. Please retain this email for your
records and submit this documentation as part of your 401 application (PCN Application) as
required by federal law. DWR will not be able to accept your application without this federally
required documentation. 401 applications received without documentation that a pre -filing
meeting request was submitted at least 30 days prior will be returned as incomplete.
Responses to this email are not monitored.
Background
On April 6, 2022, the United States Supreme Court issued an order staying a lower court's
vacatur of the Trump Administration's 2020 "Clean Water Act Section 401 Certification Rule"
('Federal Rule"). As a result of the United States Supreme Court order, the Trump
Administration's Federal Rule has sprung back into effect.
The Trump Administration's Federal Rule imposes additional procedural requirements on
applicants for 401 Certifications and on DWR's processing of those applications. One
requirement is that 401 applicants must request a pre -filing meeting request at least 30 days
prior to submitting their 401 application. [40 C.F.R. §121.4] In turn, the Federal Rule requires
that applicants include documentation of their pre -filing meeting request in their 401
Certification application. [40 C.F.R §121.1; 40 C.F.R. §121.5]. Please refer to the Federal
Rule for more information.
Per 40 CFR §121 and §121.5, a 401 Certification application that does not include the required
pre -filing meeting request documentation does not constitute a "certification request." As a
result of the reinstatement of the Trump Administration's Federal Rule, all 401 applications
received after April 6, 2022 that do not have documentation that a pre -filing meeting request
was submitted at least 30 days prior to submittal of a 401 Certification application will be
returned as incomplete.

C4c. List other certification or approvals/denials not related to the 404 or 401.
• 2015 Environmental Impact Study (EIS) in compliance with the North Carolina State
Environmental Protection Act (SEPA), evaluating options for wastewater treatment needs
based on The Expansion and Feasibility Studies.
■ The Record of Decision (ROD) was issued on March 181', 2015.
• A revision to the ROD (Appendix G) was submitted in December 2020 to include the
analysis of additional land clearing and the need for a second road access to the proposed
Stowe RWRRF. The revised ROD was issued on January 2nd 2020.
C4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project.
Charlotte Water (the Applicant) provides wastewater services to more than 805,000 customers
in the City of Charlotte and surrounding areas in Mecklenburg County, including the towns of
Matthews, Mint Hill, Pineville, Huntersville, and Cornelius. Population growth and land
development in the Charlotte region have resulted in an increased need for wastewater
collection and treatment.
Charlotte Water, formerly Charlotte -Mecklenburg Utilities (Utilities), undertook a comprehensive
evaluation of current and anticipated future wastewater treatments needs by performing a
Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion Study (Expansion Study, CH2M Hill, 2007). The
Expansion Study focused on three wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), the Irwin Creek
WWTP, Sugar Creek WWTP, and McAlpine Creek Wastewater Management Facility (WWMF).
Combined, these facilities have a total maximum month rated treatment capacity of 99 million
gallons per day (mgd). This capacity treats a population that was projected to be 685,000 in
2010, increasing to 923,000 in 2030.1 The Expansion Study determined that the best approach
toward meeting future wastewater capacity needs would include construction of a new regional
WWTP to provide wastewater services to the Long Creek Basin, including
expansions/rehabilitations of existing WWTP facilities. This would increase wastewater capacity
from 99 mgd to 155 mgd by 2030.
Concurrently, a Feasibility and Preliminary Planning Study for Regional Wastewater Treatment
(Feasibility Study [Black & Veatch, 2006]) was conducted to provide long-range planning for
wastewater treatment for the City of Mount Holly and the Long Creek Basin in Mecklenburg
County. This high level feasibility study focused on developing an innovative solution to meet
the needs of the growing area.
1 According to the United States Census Bureau, the 2010 Census indicated that the population of Mecklenburg County was over
919,500 as of 2009 and the 2019 population estimates are approximately 1.09 million.2

In 2015, Black & Veatch, submitted an Environmental Impact Study (EIS) in compliance with the
North Carolina State Environmental Protection Act (SEPA), evaluating options for wastewater
treatment needs based on The Expansion and Feasibility Studies. This Project, the subject of
this permit application, is Alternative 2 which proposes a regional WTTP on the Mecklenburg
County side. Alternative 2 was selected as the Preferred Alternative because it meets the
purpose and need of the project and results in a combination of fewer negative environmental
consequences. As a result of the proposed project, the EIS assessed potential impacts to
environmental and social resources, evaluated alternatives, and considered direct and
cumulative impacts. The Record of Decision (ROD) was issued on March 18th, 2015. A revision
to the ROD was submitted in December 2020 to include the analysis of additional land clearing
and the need for a second road access to the proposed Stowe RWRRF. The revised ROD was
issued on January 2nd, 2020. The revised ROD can be found in Appendix G.
In order to meet the need of increasing population growth and increasing wastewater treatment
capacity, the identified solution is to construct a new regional water resource recovery facility in
Mecklenburg County (Alternative 2).
Therefore, the purpose of this project is to construct the Stowe Regional Wastewater Resource
Recovery Facility (RWRRF) & Associated Infrastructure Projects to meet the developing
regional's need and growth demands for the treatment of wastewater (Figure 9, Appendix A).
Associated infrastructure related to the Stowe RWRRF include forcemain installation by
horizontal directional drilling (HDD) methods, access roads, a Stowe Headworks project at the
existing Long Creek Pumping Station (PS), Belmont PS and forcemains, and a future expansion
of the proposed facility.
C4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be
used.
In 2020, the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) requested that the Applicant submit a
project -wide Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 404 application to include future construction
projects (elements) that would propose impacts to Waters of the U.S. (WoUS). This permit takes
a phased approach, providing design and details on the most imminent elements of the Project,
while providing only high-level planning details for future elements yet to be designed (Table 1).

Phase la: Mt. Holly Forcemains and Stowe Site Preparation (Section 10 and NWP No. 58)
• Includes site preparation for the horizontal directional drill (HDD) of forcemains between
existing Charlotte Water Long Creek Pumping Station (PS) to the existing City of Mount
Holly WRF.
• The purpose of the forcemains will be to transfer wastewater from the existing Mount Holly
WRF to existing Long Creek PS. Once the Stowe RWRRF is operational (Phase 2a), it will
treat the wastewater from Mt. Holly WRF.
This would result in 0.058 acre of impacts associated with Wetland 10 (Impact 1) for
a retaining wall for the future odor control facility pad associated with Stowe
Headworks & Influent Pumping Station (Stowe HW&IPS) in Phase lc (Figure 13,
Appendix A).
This would result in a Section 10 impact due to HDD of forcemains beneath the
Catawba River (Impact 2) with no acreage or linear footage loss of jurisdictional
surface waters (Figure 12, Appendix A).
An impact to Wetland 10 is necessary for the Stowe Headworks Improvement for the retaining
wall to prepare the location of the odor control facility that will be built in Phase 1 c. As a result of
this fill, 0.058 acres of Wetland 10 will be permanently impacted (Impact 1). Site preparation will
involve typical construction equipment such as excavators, earthmovers, and bulldozers.
Two parallel 24-inch high density polyethylene (HDPE) forcemains will be provided from Mount
Holly WRF to the existing Long Creek P5, where they will discharge into the existing Long
Creek interceptor. The dual 24-inch forcemains will be installed by horizontal directional drill
(HDD) with each main installed in a single drill from the existing Long Creek Pumping Station
site to the Mt. Holly WRF. One forcemain will serve as the duty main with the second functioning
as a redundant standby main. Additionally, a 4-inch fiber optic conduit line will be included in
each 24-inch main HDD to allow for more reliable communications and control between the
receiving facilities and a future Mount Holly Pumping Station (PS), which will be brought online
in a later Phase 1 c.
The 24-inch main HDDs will extend from the Mount Holly WRF to the connection point with the
Long Creek Interceptor, just north of the Long Creek Pump Station. The dual 24-inch mains
HDD are 2,900-ft long and will cross under the Catawba River and Long Creek. Both the entry
and exit points for the forcemains will be in uplands and beyond the FERC/Duke Energy
management boundary. A 60-ft wide easement is requested along this alignment across the
Catawba River and Long Creek to encompass both forcemains. No impacts to WoUS are
proposed; however, because the Catawba River is a traditionally navigable waterway, NWP 58
authorization is required, along with a Section 10 review for hazards to navigation (Impact 2).
No changes or structures are proposed for the water surface, water column, or riverbed; as
such, no hazards to navigation are anticipated. The forcemain alignment, HDD entry and exit
points, proposed easement boundaries, and piping profile are shown on Figure 12 (Appendix
A).

Phase 1b: Stowe RWRRF Access Roads (NWP No. 14)
• Construction of access roads to the Stowe RWRRF (Phase 2a) site that would result in three
separate road crossings:
1) One bridge spanning Long Creek will be built (southern access road) and no impacts
to streams will occur at this location; however, impacts to Wetland 12 would occur
(Impact 6) and was previously authorized under NWP 14. Previous authorization also
included buffer authorization without mitigation for impacts to the Catawba River
Buffer. Mitigation for Impact 6 (Wetland 12) was also previously paid (Appendix H).
2) Impact 12 (Stream 7) and Impact 13 (Wetland 10) are associated with a tributary
crossing to Long Creek for the rerouted northern access road that was not previously
authorized. The Catawba River Buffer does not apply to this crossing.
3) Impact 14 (Stream 10) is associated with a tributary crossing to Long Creek for the
rerouted northern access road that was not previously authorized. The Catawba River
Buffer does not apply to this crossing.
The southern access road would result in 0.11 acre of impacts to Wetland 12 (Impact
6) (Section 404) (Figure 14, Appendix A).
The northern access road would result in one crossing consisting of 0.41 acre of
impact to Wetland 10 and 120 linear feet of Stream 7 (Impacts 12 and 13) (Section
404) (Figures 18-21, Appendix A) and another crossing that would result in 147 linear
feet of impact to Stream 10 (Impact 14) (Section 404) (Figures 22 and 23, Appendix
A).
Access roads will be constructed during this phase, crossing Long Creek in the south from
Hawfield Road off of Whitewater Center Parkway and two tributaries to Long Creek in the north
from Belmeade Drive to Hawfield Road (Figure 12, Appendix A). These access roads are
necessary for ingress and egress, and safety and security purposes. The main entrance will be
located off of Hawfield Road (southern road/entrance). Due to frequent public events associated
with the Whitewater Center, traffic on Whitewater Center Parkway would restrict both routine
and emergency access to the facility via Hawfield Road. Therefore, a secondary entrance is
proposed from Belmeade Drive, which will remain unaffected by events and traffic at the
National Whitewater Center.
The southern access road bridge (Impact 6) will be single span with concrete support structures
placed beyond top of bank. The support structures for these bridges will be pile driven. The
bridge approaches will be constructed first so that the pile driving can occur in uplands. A crane
will be utilized to lift and place spans in place without impact to Long Creek. Equipment used in
the construction will involve cranes, excavators, earthmovers, and bulldozers. Construction for
this previously authorized impact has already commenced.
The northern access road crosses an intermittent tributary to Long Creek (Stream 10) at the
start of its jurisdiction. Impact 12 will consist of a roadway infrastructure pipe. The northern
access road crosses another perennial tributary to Long Creek (Stream 7) with streamside

wetlands (Wetland 10). The road crossing design includes retaining walls on either side of the
proposed road to minimize impacts to Wetland 10, thus eliminating fill slopes with a larger
footprint. These impacts were not previously authorized and have not commenced. Equipment
used in the construction will involve excavators, earthmovers, and bulldozers.
Phase lc: Stowe Headworks & Influent Pumping Station and Mount Holly Pumping Station
• The purpose of the Stowe HW&IPS will be to provide preliminary wastewater treatment
and would eventually send flows to the future Stowe RWRRF (Phase 2a), once
operational.
• A new pumping station would be constructed at the existing Mount Holly WRF in
order to send wastewater flow to the Stowe HW&IPS. The existing Mount Holly WRF
would be decommissioned (in a separate project by Mount Holly) upon completion of
the Stowe RWRRF (Phase 2a).
• No additional impacts to jurisdictional features are expected.
• A Duke transmission line is proposed to be constructed to provide power services to
the future Stowe RWRRF (Phase 2a).
o No impacts to jurisdictional features are expected.
There are existing equalization basins at Long Creek P5 adjacent to Hawfield Road on the
Mecklenburg County side of the Catawba River. A new wastewater treatment plant facility will
be created in Phase 2 of this project on a portion of land between the Catawba River and Long
Creek (Figure 12, Appendix A). In order to support this proposed wastewater plant, which would
require storing excess influent during large storm events and to equalize flow to the plant, the
existing basins will need to be expanded and support facilities added. This will be referred to as
the Stowe Headworks & Influent Pumping Station (Stowe HW&IPS). These improvements must
be made prior to Phase 2 as they are part of the critical path for operations.
In addition to new and expanded equalization basins, an odor control facility would be included
to limit olfactory impacts to nearby recreational, public, and private facilities. This expanded
footprint will require filling areas which would be conducted previously during Phase la. As such
no impacts to jurisdictional features are proposed for Phase 1 c
Phase 2a (this Permit)
Phase 2 is split into Phase 2a and 2b. Phase 2b is a future phase and discussed in Section C6b
below. Table 4 (below) summarizes regulatory authority, impact type, Nationwide Permit (NWP)
number, and impact amount. Phase 2a requires authorization under Section 10 and NWP 58
for a floating dock (Impact 8), an effluent outfall rip rap apron (Impact 11 a), and dewatering
activities (Impact 11 b). Phase 2a also requires authorization under NWP 58 for impacts to
Wetland 17 (Impact 10a and 1 Qb) for the utility pipe install and floating dock access. Impacts 8,
10 and 11 were previously authorized under NWP 12, but now need to be reauthorized under
NWP 58 and to include refined design. Additionally, there is an impact to a non -Section 404,

Phase 2a: Stowe Regional Water Resource Recovery Facility (Section 10 and NWP No. 58)
• The Stowe RWRRF is proposed to be a 15 million gallons per day (mgd) WWTP facility
that would treat wastewater flows from Charlotte Water and City of Mount Holly.
The Stowe RWRRF facility would result in 0.18 acre of non jurisdictional isolated
wetlands (non -Section 404) to Wetland 9 (Impact 7) (Figure 12, Appendix A).
The Stowe RWRRF access dock would result in no loss of waters (floating dock
with pile driven piles), but would require Section 10 authorization (Impact 8)
(Figure 16, Appendix A).
To construct both the effluent outfall and access dock, 0.017 acre of permanent
impacts (Impact 10a) and 0.008 acre of temporary impacts (Impact lob) to
Wetland 17 are proposed (Figure 16, Appendix A).
The Stowe RWRRF effluent outfall would result in NWP 58 and Section 10 impacts
to the Catawba River for 0.015 acre of permanent impact for a rip rap apron
(Impact 11 a) and 0.005 acre of temporary impact for dewatering (Impact 11 b)
(Figure 16, Appendix A).
C5a. Jurisdictional Determinations
• An Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) was approved on 06/01/2020 (Appendix D)
for 272 acres.
• A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) addendum was approved on 12/07/2021
(Appendix D) for an additional 95 acres.
• This application includes another PJD addendum (Appendix E) of an additional three acres,
but also removes 94 acres from the Project Area (Figure 3, Appendix A) for a total acreage
of 276 acres.

C6b. Future Project Plans
Phases 2b-3 are still in the planning stages. Phase 2b requires authorization under Section 10
and NWP 58 for HDD installation of forcemains beneath the Catawba River to send wastewater
flows from the existing Belmont Wastewater Treatment Plant to the existing Paw Creek PS
(Table 6). The design, location, and exact impacts are unknown at this time; however, see
Figure 11 (Appendix A) for approximate location. The following is a brief description of the
remaining phasing of the project. Phase 1 and 2a was described in detail in Section C4i.

• Additional HDDs are proposed beneath the Catawba River to send wastewater flows from
the existing Belmont Wastewater Treatment Plant to the existing Paw Creek P5
• Belmont WWTP would likely be decommissioned (in separate project by City of Belmont)
upon completion of the Forcemains.
This would result in a NWP 58 and Section 10 authorization (Impact 9) due to HDD
of forcemains beneath the Catawba River with no acreage or linear footage loss
of jurisdictional surface waters.
Phase 3 (Future)
Phase 3: Stowe RWRRF Expansion
• Expand the existing Stowe RWRRF (proposed to be built in Phase 2a) to 25 MGD
to meet the growing population needs.
• No impacts to WoUS anticipated
El a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed
impacts in designing project.
To avoid and minimize impacts to waters of the U.S., the project area was delineated for
jurisdictional streams and wetlands. Because the Catawba River is a Traditionally Navigable
Waterway (TNW), Section 10 authorization is required for any impacts beneath, through, on, or
over the river. For those impacts to the Catawba River that propose forcemain installation by
HDD, no changes or structures are proposed for the water surface, water column, or riverbed so
no hazards to navigation are anticipated.

PCN Supplemental Information
Stowe RWRRF & Associated Infrastructure Projects
SAW-2019-01988 and DWR# 20-0405
The EIS and approved ROD already considered alternatives for the overall Stowe RWRRF
project, location, and HDD methods verses other wastewater treatment options. Impacts
associated with the Stowe HW&IPS (Impact 1) cannot be avoided due to the existing location of
the Long Creek P5. Impacts associated with the Stowe RWRRF are isolated and not regulated
by the USACE (Impact 7). The dock and effluent outfall (Impacts 8 and 11) are in locations
driven by the Stowe RWRRF preliminary design. As such, the alternatives considered here are
associated with the road access alignments (Impacts 6, 12, 13, and 14). Impacts 2, 8, and 9
and are Section 10 impacts to the Catawba River, but do not propose surface water impacts.
No -Build Alternative
The No -Build Alternative would not involve the construction of a new regional treatment facility;
however, it would include upgrading the existing Mt. Holly WRF and Belmont PS. In the
absence of the project, capacity for wastewater treatment would be inadequate in providing
these services for the existing and anticipated population. The No -Build Alternative would not
meet the purpose and need of the project.
Access Roads Alternatives Analysis
The main access to the future Stowe RWRRF will be the southern road alignment via Hawfield
Road. This southern access was approved in the ROD; additionally, Hawfield Road is already
used to access the existing Long Creek P5. However, traffic on Whitewater Center Parkway
(the only connection to Hawfield Road) can be severely backed up with no movement during
public and private events at the National Whitewater Center. If there were an emergency at the
facility, first responders could not access the facility. Therefore, a second access road from the
north is necessary for ingress and egress options.
The first consideration for a secondary access road was the existing entrance and roads on the
adjacent Clariant site. The Clariant entrance is located at the intersection of Belmeade Road
and Mt. Holly Road. This option proposed no impacts on the western side of Long Creek as it
would only utilize existing roads. However, the existing entrance to Clariant would require a
crossing of a railroad track and any blockage at the entrance gate would result in stopped traffic
on an active railroad track. Furthermore, the utilization of Clariant roads for construction and
operational vehicles of the Stowe RWRRF would directly interfere with commercial operations at
Clariant.
As access directly through the Clariant site was eliminated as a feasible northern option, a road
alignment from Belmeade Drive to the site was considered. The northern road alignment was
deemed to be the most feasible, both economically and environmentally. The southern
alignment will connect the future Stowe RWRRF to existing Hawfield Road and Long Creek P5.

Erosion and sedimentation control measures will be properly installed and inspected in
accordance with a NPDES Erosion and Sedimentation Control (ESC) permit. Erosion and
sedimentation BMPs will be installed prior to construction. Impacts will be minimized by strict
enforcement of Best Management Practices for the protection of surface waters, including
restrictions against the staging of equipment in or adjacent to waters of the US. Piling drive
techniques will be utilized for bridge construction to minimize the impact footprint of the bridge
bents. This project will follow all conditions of NWP 14 and 58, including their respective Water
Quality General Certifications (WGC) 4246 and 4276. Equipment to be used includes
excavators, dumptrucks, earthmovers, cranes, and HDD equipment.
E4i. In -Lieu Fee Mitigation Program
Approximately 32.44 acres of wetlands with 13,249 linear feet of stream were identified on site.
In previous permit submittals, 0.20 acres of jurisdictional wetlands were proposed to be
impacted. These impacts were proposed to be mitigated as a 2:1 ratio which amounts to
mitigating the equivalent of 0.40 acres, for which credits were purchased from the City of
Charlotte Umbrella Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank (Appendix H). Impact 6 (0.11 acre) and
Impact 1 (0.053 ac.) are the impacts that remain currently mitigated.
Additional mitigation is necessary for:
• the 0.41 acre of wetland impact (Impact 13), proposed at a 2:1 ratio
• the 0.017 acre of wetland impact (Impact 10a), proposed at a 2:1 ratio
• the 120 linear feet (0.04 acre) of stream impact (Impact 12) per the Wilmington District's
Regional Condition #7 for Mitigation for Loss of Stream Bed; proposed at a 2:1 ratio for
linear footage impact amount
Newly proposed mitigation totals are 0.85 acre of wetland credits and 240 linear feet of stream
credits. A Credit Acceptance Letter from the Umbrella Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank is
attached (Appendix H). No mitigation is required for impacts to the non jurisdictional, isolated
wetland impact (Impact 7 for 0.18 acre).
E5i. Percussive Activities
Pile driving will be required, a percussive activity, for the southern bridge crossing of Long
Creek. The pile driving is necessary to provide support for the bridge spans. Pile driving
techniques are the least invasive in wetlands and have the least amount of land disturbance.
The southern bridge crossing will need eight piles driven, four at two different locations, each on
either side of Long Creek (Figure 14, Appendix A). Duration for each location (total of three
locations with four pilings at each location), is anticipated to be two days, limited to working
daylight hours. This amounts to an estimated six days, but may not be back to back days,
depending on weather and construction schedule.

E6i. Buffer Mitigation
The NCDEQ DWR Section 401 previous approval provided written authorization without
mitigation for impacts to the Catawba River Buffer that extends upstream into Long Creek
(Appendix C). These buffer impacts (B1 buffer impact) totaled 6,410 square feet of Catawba
River Buffer Zone 1 impact, and 4,494 square feet of Catawba River Buffer Zone 2 impact at the
southern bridge crossing of Long Creek (Impact 6) (Figure 15, Appendix A). No changes are
proposed from previous authorization.
Additional written authorization without mitigation for impacts to the Catawba River Buffer along
the mainstem associated with Impacts 10 and 11, totaled 1,388 square feet for Zone 1 and 927
square feet for Zone 2 (Appendix H). These buffer impacts have now been modified and are
associated with the refined design for Impacts 10 and 11. For updated Impacts 10 and 11, two
Catawba River Buffer Rule Uses are proposed through the Catawba River Buffer (Figure 17,
Appendix A):
1) utility corridor for the effluent outfall (Use jj.ii.)
a. permanent maintenance corridor is 30 feet wide
b. temporary construction corridor is 13 feet wide
c. results in 600 square feet in Zone 1 and 571 square feet in Zone 2 of permanent
buffer impacts (B2 and B3 buffer impacts)
d. proposed allowable with authorization (no mitigation)
2) boat dock access (Use rr.ii)
a. permanent maintenance corridor is 20 feet wide
b. temporary construction corridor is 12 feet wide
c. results in 338 square feet in Zone 1 and 325 square feet in Zone 2 of permanent
buffer impacts (B4 and B5 Buffer Impacts)
d. proposed allowable with mitigation upon authorization due to the permanent
maintenance corridor exceeding 15 feet in widt
i. proposing a 2:1 multiplier for Zone 1 impacts and a 1.5:1 multiplier for
Zone 2 impacts for a total of 1,163.5 square feet of buffer mitigation — see
Appendix H for a Statement of Availability for buffer credits from the
Dogtown Buffer Mitigation Bank
Temporary impacts to the Catawba River Buffer Zones 1 and 2 will be restored to a forested
condition once the proposed impacts are completed.
G5. Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat
The 2015 EIS examined potential impacts to federal and state protected species. The Preferred
Alternative (this Project) was determined to have no impacts to federal and state protected
species. However, the EIS did indicate a population adjacent to the project on the Mt. Holly side
and the population was confirmed during a survey conducted on November 19th, 2019 by
Carolina Wetland Services. HDR surveyed the Mecklenburg County side of the project over
several days during the survey window for Schweinitz's sunflower in 2019 and HDR determined
12

that there were no suitable habitat present on the Mecklenburg County side. Measures will be
put in place, such as extra erosion control fencing and orange tree protection fencing within the
project area to protect the population outside the project area; no direct or indirect impacts to
this population are anticipated. Therefore, no impacts to federal or state protected species are
anticipated. See previous permit approvals.

REVISED - Record of Decision — Charlotte -Mecklenburg Utilities/City of Mount Holly Regional Wastewater Treatment
REVISION NOTE
Prior to construction of the proposed project, the applicant contacted the DWR regarding a few minor
changes to the project. Changes include the location of an equalization basin and new access and
construction roads. The preferred alternative has not changed and remains alternative 2. The applicant has
submitted documentation to the Division dated December 20, 2019, with the subject line of "Charlotte -
Mecklenburg Utilities/City of Mount Holly/City of Belmont Regional Wastewater Treatment Final
Environmental Impact Statement Revision. Letter" which outlines proposed changes to the project and are
addressed in this revised ROD.
Proposed revisions are only to occur at the current Long Creek Pump Station site. Proposed project revisions
will include additional impacts to wetlands, prime and unique farmlands, and flaodplains; but all will be
minor or negligible impacts. Bridges over Long Creek will result in minor impacts to wetlands (less than
0.1 acre) and potentially minor or negligible impacts to floodways. Clearing of land will increase
(approximately 4.5 acres for temporary construction access, approximately 8.5 acres for a permanent access
road, and approximately 20 acres for the equalization basin). Much of these lands are considered prime and
unique farmlands or farmland of statewide importance. However, these areas are forested and not currently
being farmed, are zoned either industrial or single family residential, and are owned by the City of Charlotte.
Due to these conditions, impacts to prime and unique farmlands is considered minimal. Due to the
additional clearing, impacts to land cover will occur. Wildlife may be impacted by the additional clearing,
but much of the surrounding area will still be forested and it is therefore expected that wildlife will relocate
to those areas.
The proposed changes will impact the Thread Trail (used for walking, hiking, and mountain hiking).
Impacted portions of the will be relocated within the remaining 85-acre forested track, thereby mitigating
additional impacts to public lands, scenic, and recreational areas.
No additional impacts to areas of archeological or historical value; rare or protected species; air quality;
noise; water resources, shellfish, and their habitats; water quality; soils; ground water; water supply; or
impacts from toxic substances are anticipated.
SUMMARY
An EIS has been prepared for the Charlotte -Mecklenburg Utilities Department (CMUD) and the planned
wastewater treatment expansion for the existing service area as well as surrounding service areas. The
proposal considers wastewater treatment at a regional level and includes the City of Mount Holly, the City
of Beltnont, Clariant Corporation (Clariant), and CMUD's western Mecklenburg County wastewater
service area. A feasibility study was performed in 2006 for CMUD and the City of Mount Holly to identify
potential alternatives to meet the needs of the projected growth in the service areas. Study results
recommended a regional approach, and that is what is being pursued by CMUD and the City of Mount
Holly. As discussed in the EIS, there has been extensive stakeholder involvement with the public and private
sector as well as government officials throughout project development.
The preferred alternative would include constructing a new Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) facility
on the Mecklenburg County side of the Catawba River on land near the existing Long Creek pump station.
The new facility would treat wastewater from both CMUD and the City of Mount Holly. Flows from the
City of Mount Holly and the City of Belmont would be pumped under the Catawba River to the new facility.
1

REVISED - Record of Decision — Charlotte -Mecklenburg Utilities/City of Mount Holly Regional Wastewater Treatment
A new force main would be constructed from the City of Belmont WWTP to the Paw Creek lift station.
The existing Long Creek pump station would be modified to serve as the influent pumping station for the
new facility.
PURPOSE AND NEED
The purpose of the proposed project is to address future wastewater demands in northwestern Mecklenburg
and eastern Gaston Counties. Populations in these areas are expected to grow considerably by 2030.
Population growth in the CMUD service area, which includes the Long Creek Basin, Paw Creek Basin,
Catawba Creek Basin, Gar Creek Basin, and the Lower Mountain Island Lake Basin, is expected to increase
from 43,371 in 2010 to 115,580 in 2030. Consequently, wastewater flows in the service area is expected to
increase from 6.44 million gallons per day (mgd) in 2010 to 14.74 mgd in 2030. In order to meet the needs
of these growing areas, without hindering growth, the wastewater capacity of the region will need to be
increased.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS
Several alternatives were identified during the planning process. A total of seven alternatives were carried
forward and considered in the EIS; the EIS provides a full discussion of these alternatives. A brief statement
on each is below:
1. No Action: The Nu Action Alternative does not include construction of a new wastewater treatment
plant or other associated infrastructure. However, based on a NCDENR requirement, this alternative
would include upgrading the existing City of Mount Holly WWTP (Mount Holly WWTP) and City of
Belmont WWTP (Belmont WWTP). Wastewater from the Long Creek basin would continue to be
piped over 20 miles to the McAlpine Creek Wastewater Management Facility (WWMF). The Mount
Holly WWTP is approaching its maximum design capacity. Without expansion, areas not currently
serviced would likely have to utilize onsite septic systems.
2, Operate Jointly at New Regional WWTP in Mount Holly (Alternative 1): This alternative consists
of constructing a new WWTP facility on land adjacent to the existing Mount Holly WWTP site. This
new plant would serve the City of Mount Holly as well as CMUD. The Belmont WWTP would be
decommissioned and replaced with a new pump station. A new force main would be constructed from
the Belmont WWTP to the Paw Creek lift station. Wastewater from Long Creek would be pumped
across the Catawba River to the new facility. A portion of the wastewater may he treated for reuse or
reclaimed purposes such as landscape irrigation and industrial purposes.
3. Operate Jointly at New Regional W WTY in Mecklenburg County near Long Creek (Alternative
2 — Preferred Alternative): Under this alternative, a new WWTP facility would be constructed on the
Mecklenburg County side of the Catawba River on land near the existing Long Creek Pump Station.
The new facility would treat wastewater from both CMUD and the City of Mount Holly. Flows from
the City of Mount Holly and/or City of Belmont would be pumped under the Catawba River to the new
facility. A new force main would be constructed from the Belmont WWTP to the Paw Creek lift station,
The existing Long Creek pump station would be modified to serve as the influent pumping station for
the new facility. A portion of the wastewater may be treated for reuse or reclaimed purposes such as
landscape irrigation and industrial purposes.
2

REVISED - Record of Decision —Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities/City of Mount Holly Regional Wastewater Treatment
4. Non-Discharge/Land Application Alternative: State law requires land application to be considered
for any WWTP. This option was found to be technically and economically infeasible due to the large
amount of land that would be required. Based on calculations, necessary land requirements would be
between 37 and 230 acres for non -discharge ponds and storage and between 1,000 acres and 13,000
acres for land application. In an urban setting these land requirements would be difficult to achieve and
the cost to purchase suitable land would be prohibitive.
PREFERED ALTERNATIVE
Alternative 2, operate jointly at a new regional WWTP on the Mecklenburg County side of the Catawba
River near Long Creek, was chosen as the preferred alternative. This alternative was selected over the others
because it meets the developing region's need for additional wastewater treatment capacity and results in a
combination of fewer negative environmental consequences. These include comparatively fewer natural
resource and environmental impacts at the building site; fewer construction and operational constraints;
greater public recreation and open space benefits; reduced energy use; increased water volume in Lake
Wylie for local uses such as power generation, cooling water, low flow supplementation, and drinking
water; and concurrence with the planning goals of the affected local governments.
Additionally, the placement of a single WWTP is preferable to other alternatives in terms of compatibility
with existing and future land uses, protection of riparian buffers, and reduced impacts to critical areas such
as streams and wetlands. Advanced treatment at a new facility would produce high quality effluent with
low nutrient concentrations and provide additional water into Lake Wylie for many beneficial uses. The
Preferred Alternative also provides regional wastewater treatment with a single discharge that promotes
efficient planning, design, and permitting; minimizes shoreline and wetland impacts; and cost-effectively
achieves project goals. It also has the potential to eliminate three existing discharges and reduce the risk of
overflows by reducing wastewater pumping distance.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
All means of avoiding or minimizing environmental and cultural impacts outlined in the EIS will be
incorporated into the project. Moreover, the project will be designed and constructed to avoid adverse
impacts to existing environmental features as much as practicable. A summary of impacts to environmental
features and mitigative actions for the preferred alternative is described below:
Topography and soils: There will not be significant long-term impacts as a result of the project. Impacts
include those associated with leveling, excavation, and grading from construction of the project. Much of
the preferred alternative would occur on land that has been previously disturbed. Impacts to soils and soil
loss would be controlled through the use of appropriate Best Management Practices (BMPS).
Land Cover and Land Use: The new facility constructed under the preferred alternative would be located
on land currently zoned industrial and the Belmont pump station and force main would be constructed on
previously disturbed land. With the preferred alternative, there would be approximately 85-acres of
undisturbed forested lands adjacent to the National Whitewater Center that could be used for public uses
such as greenways or other recreational activities. Impacts to the Thread Trail would be mitigated by
relocating affected trail portions within the remaining forested tract adjacent to the project.
3

REVISED Record of Decision —Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities/City of Mount Nally Regional Wastewater Treatment
Wetlands and Floodplains: Force mains would cross the Catawba Ri ver, Paw Creek, and Long Creek. These
crossings would be within the floodplain and associated wetland areas. Force mains and outfall structure
would be directionally bored, eliminating direct impacts to wetlands. The outfall would be constructed
within the Catawba River floodplain but will not result in an increase in the 100-year flood base flood
elevation. Impacts from access road bridges over Long Creek will minimize impacts to wetlands and
floodplains but will still result in unavoidable but minimal impacts to wetlands and floodplains.
Water Quality: Impacts to surface waters include those from stormwater runoff, riparian buffer impacts,
and wastewater effluent. Increases in stormwater runoff may affect aquatic resources. The project will
require a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP); the included guidelines will minimize and reduce
the number and amount of pollutants leaving the site through BMPs. Riparian buffer areas may be affected
by force main and outfall crossings. Impacts to these areas will be minimized through the use of directional
boring under streams and associated riparian areas. Additionally, proposed facilities will be located outside
of riparian buffer areas. Wastewater discharge to Lake Wylie will increase. Compliance with all NPDES
permit limits will be required.
Ground Water: No direct impacts to groundwater are expected.
Water Supply: The proposed project will increase the amount of wastewater being discharged into Lake
Wylie. NPDES permit limits will protect the quality of water which will not exceed drinking water
standards.
Wildlife and Aquatic Resource Habitats: Impacts to terrestrial species is expected to be limited to those
areas that will be cleared; impacted wildlife may move to adjacent forested areas. Impacts to aquatic species
are expected to be minimal due to stormwater controls and stringent NPDES discharge limits.
Rare and Protected Species: The preferred alternative will not impact any rare or protected species.
Public, Scenic, and Recreational Areas: A portion of the proposed project is in close proximity to the
National Whitewater Center. The proposed alternative would preserve an approximately 85-acre tract
adjacent to the National Whitewater Center which could be used to provide additional hiking and biking
trails as well as a new canoe launch on Long Creek. Potential adverse impacts include odors and wastewater
spills, which could result in disruption of recreational activities. New facilities would be designed to prevent
storm -flow bypasses and sanitary sewer overflows. Odor control technology would be incorporated into the
project as well. Impacts to the Thread Trail would be mitigated by relocating affected trail portions within
the remaining forested tract adjacent to the project.
Energy Resources: Energy consumption would increase as the new facility comes online, but usage would
partially be offset by not having to pump wastewater from Long Creek pumping station to McAlpine Creek
WWTP. Additional water volume in Lake Wylie could potentially be used for additional power generation,
and it may be possible to use onsite generated methane to partially power the facility and reduce the
consumption of natural gas.
Archeological or Historical Resources: There are no properties registered on the National Sate Register of
Historic Places. State Historic Preservation Office correspondence states that they will not require any
archeological surveys.
Prime Agricultural Lands; Construction of the equalization basin, access roads, and temporary construction
access roads will result in impacts to prime agricultural lands. However, the affected lands are currently
forested and not being used for agriculture, are zoned industrial and single residence, and are owned by the
4

REVISED - Record of Decision — Charlotte -Mecklenburg Utilities/City of Mount Holly Regional Wastewater Treatment
City of Charlotte. Since the City of Charlotte has no intent to sell or farm the land, and based on current
zoning, impacts are deemed minimal.
Air Quality: Direct impacts to air quality will be temporary and minor, During construction, dust control
measures will be employed to limit dust exposure in the project area. Operation of the plant will not produce
any regulated air quality contaminants, Nearby residences and businesses would be buffered by forested
areas surrounding the facility. An air quality permit would be required for the operation of the back-up
generators and methane gas produced onsite would likely be used to generate power for the facility.
Nuisance Conditions: Temporary noise and dust will be generated as result of construction. Odor control
measures would be used at the plant and pumping station. Most equipment would be housed in buildings
which will also help reduce noise and odors. A forested buffer around the facility will also help alleviate
potential noise and odor concerns.
Toxic Substances: Toxic substances will not be introduced during construction. All chemical storage and
feed areas at the plant would be provided with secondary containment. Onsite diesel fuel tanks for
generators will have secondary containment and leak detection systems,
SECONDARY AND CUMULATIVE IMPACTS
The secondary and cumulative impacts associated with the preferred alternative would generally be related
to continued urban growth and land use changes associated with population increases in the service area. It
is expected that population increases and associated secondary and cumulative impacts would occur
regardless of whether or not the proposed project is constructed.
The Gar and Catawba Sub -basins and portions ❑f the Mountain Island Lake Sub -basin currently utilize
onsite septic tanks. The preferred alternative may allow these areas to be serviced with the wastewater
facility which would help eliminate the effects of failing septic sewer systems. If these areas were to be
serviced by the new facility, it would allow higher density development than what currently exists in these
areas. This may allow these areas to have more development due to higher density than would be seen if
the area remained on individual septic systems. Growth would continue in other areas of the service areas
as well. Several local and State regulations are in place throughout the project service area that will
minimize secondary and cumulative impacts and include various zoning restrictions, Water Supply
Watershed Protection areas, stormwater BMPS and regulations, riparian buffer rules, NPDES permitting,
floodplain protection ordnances, and municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4). Public sewer
extension projects would be required to apply for and obtain the necessary permits and evaluate, avoid, and
minimize environmental impacts. Water supply watershed protection rules, which limit land use densities
and apply other development restrictions to protect water quality, apply to a large portion of the project
service area in both Gaston and Mecklenburg Counties. Additionally, a number of local policies and
ordinances are in place that would further limit secondary and cumulative impacts.
Beneficial impacts of the proposed project may also occur. By relocating the discharge paint from Long
Creek to Lake Wylie, energy currently being used to pump wastewater 20 miles will be saved. The
additional discharge into Lake Wylie could be used to produce additional electricity. While some of the
treated effluent would be used onsite as reclaimed water, there exists the possibility that the reclaimed water
5

REVISED - Record of Decision — Charlotte -Mecklenburg UtIlities/City of Mount Holly Regional Wastewater Treatment
program could be expanded to include industrial and/or landscape applications, which could, in turn, reduce
the demand for treated drinking water during peak and drought conditions.
NECESSARY ACTIONS
It is anticipated that the project will require the following actions:
• NPDES Permit
• FERC Permit
• Air Quality Permit
■ Dam Permit (for Equalization Basin embankment)
■ 40 Water Quality Certification
