PROJECT INFORMATION Project No: I-5507 County: Mecklenburg WBS No: 43609.1.1 Document: CE F.A. No: NHS-0485(30) Funding: State Federal Federal Permit Required? Yes No Permit Type: Not Listed Project Description: The NCDOT proposes improvements to add one express lane in each direction along I-485 from I-77 to US 74 (Independence Boulevard) in Mecklenburg County. The project length is 17 miles. The purpose of the project is to provide travel time reliability along I-485. This segment of I- 485 carries between 65,000 and 112,000 vehicles per day and experiences congestion on a regular basis. The proposed express lanes will, in combination with improvements proposed on Independence Boulevard, give motorists the option of paying a fee for a reliable trip time on I-485 between I-77 and US 74. SUMMARY OF CULTURAL RESOURCES REVIEW Brief description of review activities, results of review, and conclusions: The State Historic Preservation Office/Office of State Archaeology has previously reviewed the proposed project (ER 13-2793), and are aware of no historic resources that would be affected by the project. Therefore, their office had no comment and recommended no further identification work be conducted. However, if the project were to be revised to include new ROW or additional noise wall, further review would be required. Thus, a additional map review and site file search was conducted at the Office of State Archaeology (OSA) on Monday, November 9, 2015. Various archaeological surveys have been conducted as part of the Charlotte Outer Loop (e.g. TIPs# R-211, U-2510A, and R-2123), and as a result of those surveys, numerous archaeological sites have been recorded along the interstate corridor and within one-half (1/2) mile of the proposed project. Digital copies of HPO’s maps (Charlotte West, Fort Mill, Weddington, and Matthews Quadrangles) as well as the HPOWEB GIS Service (http://gis.ncdcr.gov/hpoweb/) were last reviewed on Thursday, November 19, 2015. Although various known historic architectural resources are located along the project corridor, intact archaeological deposits associated with such resources are not anticipated within the footprint of the proposed project. In addition, topographic maps, historic maps (NCMaps website), USDA soil survey maps, and aerial photographs were utilized and inspected to gauge environmental factors that may have contributed t o historic or prehistoric settlement within the project limits, and to assess the level of modern, slope, agricultural, hydrological, and other erosive-type disturbances within and surrounding the archaeological APE. Project Tracking No.: “No ARCHAEOLOGY SURVEY REQUIRED” form for Minor Transportation Projects as Qualified in the 2007/2015 Programmatic Agreement. 2 of 3 15-10-0041 Brief Explanation of why the available information provides a reliable basis for reasonably predicting that there are no unidentified historic properties in the APE: Both Federal and State funds will be used as part of this project. The need for a Federal permit was not known at the time of submittal; however, temporary easements will be necessary. At this time, we are in compliance with NC GS 121-12a since there are no eligible (i.e. National Register-listed) archaeological resources located within the project’s Study Area that would require our attention. Based on the size of the Study Area, proposed activities may take place outside the NCDOT’s existing ROW in certain locations along the highway corridor. From an environmental perspective, the Study Area falls within a highly urbanized area and consists of the gently rolling terrain typical of North Carolina’s Southern Piedmont physiographic region. Numerous soil types are present throughout the Study Area, with most soil conditions (urban/disturbed, eroded, slopes, and somewhat poorly drained) not favorable for preserving intact archaeological sites/resources. Preservation of archaeological materials within these soil type areas is likely to be poor. Many of the sections of the Study Area that fall in areas of favorable conditions, however, have already been subjected to archaeological investigations either as part of the original survey for what was then I-77 (TIP# R-211) or for later studies along the interstate (TIP# R- 2123) or adjacent roads (TIP# U-2510A). Any remaining areas that could have been potentially surveyed were ruled out after reviewing aerials from 1993, 1998, and 2015, which revealed a significant amount of erosion and development. Other areas may have been previously ruled out by OSA as part of their environmental review for cell towers and wetland locations. Based on the presence of urban/disturbed/ eroded/sloped/poorly drained soils and the fact that a large portion of the Study Area was previously surveyed, it is believed that the current Study Area, as depicted, is unlikely to contain intact and significant archaeological resources. No archaeological survey is required for this project; the No Survey recommendation stated by NC-HPO in their memo of December 5, 2013 remains valid. If design plans change or are made available prior to construction, then additional consultation regarding archaeology will be required. At this time, no further archaeological work is recommended. If archaeological materials are uncovered during project activities, then such resources will be dealt with according to the procedures set forth for “unanticipated discoveries,” to include notification of NCDOT’s Archaeology Group. Please take note that the Study Area outline bisects the Dinkins Family Cemetery (Site 31MK273**), which has been deemed to possess special significance in terms of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County history. Thus, the Dinkins Family Cemetery should be avoided; all project activities should not take place within the vicinity of the cemetery (to include, but not be limited to, the storage of materials and/or equipment and vehicles).

The project consists of constructing a half-clover interchange with ramps and loops in the northeast and southeast quadrants. This interchange will provide 16-foot wide ramps and 18- foot wide loops. Weddington Road will be widened within the project area to 73-feet from face-of-curb to face-of-curb, and will have five travel lanes and bike lanes. A 6-foot wide sidewalk will be provided on the west side and a 10-foot wide sidewalk will be provided on the east side of Weddington Road, including the bridge over I-485. Left turn lanes will be provided on Weddington Road at the ramp and loop intersections. Improvements will be made to the Weddington Road and McKee Road intersection. Impacts to jurisdictional resources will result from culvert extensions (one 6' x 6' reinforced concrete box culvert and one 72" reinforced concrete pipe) at the proposed interchange ramps and related outfall protection and stream bank stabilization. An existing sewer line is located within the existing 6' x 6' reinforced concrete box culvert (RCBC). A sewer line extension will be conducted by the City of Charlotte and will be located within the footprint of the culvert extension and bank stabilization at the outlet end of the culvert. Standard road building equipment, such as loaders, compactors, excavators, dozers, and pavers will be used.

The bottom elevation of the extended culvert will match the elevation of the existing stream bed. At Site 2, <0.01 (26 lf) of temporary impacts due to construction activities are included within the bank stabilization impacts. E. Impact Justification and Mitigation The final project design avoids and minimizes impacts to streams to the greatest extent practicable. Due to the location of the interchange ramps to be constructed, impacts to streams were unavoidable. Headwalls and wingwalls have been included in the design to shorten fill slopes and reduce stream impact length, protect the ends of the pipe, and guard against erosion. 2:1 slopes will be utilized at each stream crossing to minimize impacts. A preformed scour hole at Station -L- 790+50 LT and dry detention basin at Station Y5LPD- 20+00 RT are included in the design. NCDOT's Best Management Practices (BMPs) for Construction and Maintenance Activities and Protection of Surface Waters will be adhered to. Erosion control devices such as silt fence, rock inlet sediment traps, slope drains, clean water diversions, and silt bags will also be utilized to minimize water quality impacts. Installation of the culvert extensions will be conducted utilizing pump around techniques to dewater the work zone. The pump around at stream crossings will utilize temporary dams, pumps, and stilling basins to divert the channel baseflow around the work area rather than installing a temporary pipe and diversion channel. By using this method, grading in the stream channel will be less intensive and will result in less stream impacts. In locations where temporary construction activities will take place in the stream, the stream bed will be restored to pre-construction contours.

The project shall be constructed in accordance with your application dated received September 16, 2019. After reviewing your application, we have decided that these impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 4135. This certification corresponds to the Nationwide Permit 14 issued by the Corps of Engineers. In addition, you should acquire any other federal, state or local permits before you proceed with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This approval will expire with the accompanying 404 permit. This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified below). Should your project change, you must notify the NCDWR and submit a new application . If the property is sold, the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality I Division of Water Resources 512 North Salisbury Street I 1617 Mail Service Center I Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 919.707 .9000 16 34 16 0 66 DocuSign Envelope ID: 300C5E91-0C58-43AD-9545-772D0F9B4F89 new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter, and is thereby responsible for complying with all the conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, or of total impacts to perennial streams (now or in the future) exceed 300 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to remain valid, you must adhere to the conditions listed in the attached certification(s) and any additional conditions listed below. Condition(s) of Certification: Project Specific Conditions 1. Compensatory mitigation for 66 linear feet of impact to streams is required. We understand that you have chosen to perform compensatory mitigation for impacts to streams through the North Carolina Division of Mitigation Service (DMS) (formerly NCEEP), and that the DMS has agreed to implement the mitigation for the project. The DMS has indicated in a letter dated September 13, 2019 that they will assume responsibility for satisfying the federal Clean Water Act compensatory mitigation requirements for the above-referenced project, in accordance with the DMS Mitigation Banking Instrument signed July 28, 2010. 2. The NCDOT Division Environmental Officer or Environmental Assistant will conduct a pre-construction meeting with all appropriate staff to ensure that the project supervisor and essential staff understand the potential issues with stream and pipe alignment at the permitted site. NCDWR staff shall be invited to the pre-construction meeting. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(2) and (b)(3) 3. Unless otherwise approved in this certification, placement of culverts and other structures in open waters and streams, shall be placed below the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48 inches, and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48 inches, to allow low flow passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other structures including temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in dis-equilibrium of wetlands or streambeds or banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above structures. The applicant is required to provide evidence that the equilibrium is being maintained ifrequested in writing by the NCDWR. If this condition is unable to be met due to bedrock or other limiting features encountered during construction, please contact the NCDWR for guidance on how to proceed and to determine whether or not a permit modification will be required. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(b )(2)] 4. If multiple pipes or barrels are required, they shall be designed to mimic natural stream cross section as closely as possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where appropriate . Widening the stream channel should be avoided. Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases water velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and disrupts aquatic life passage. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(2)] 5. Riprap shall not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes aquatic life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed, sized and installed. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(2)] 6 . For the 68 linear feet of streams being impacted due to site dewatering activities, the site shall be graded to its preconstruction contours and revegetated with appropriate native species. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(b )(2)] 7. The stream channel shall be excavated no deeper than the natural bed material of the stream, to the maximum extent practicable . Efforts must be made to minimize impacts to the stream banks, as well as to vegetation responsible for maintaining the stream bank stability. Any applicable riparian buffer impact for access to stream channel shall be temporary and be revegetated with native riparian species. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(b )(2)] 8. The waiver for culvert burial is granted as requested. Stream bed is required to be level with the end of the culvert extension, as presented in the application.
