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: Union County Public Works, John Shutak

1.2 Activity location:Latitude: 35.14193 Longitude: -80.35764 Location description: The
review area consists of approximately 40 miles of pipeline right-of-way beginning
near Lake Tillery in the Town of Norwood (Stanly County) and extends southwest
to the terminus near the intersection of Secrest Short Cut Road and North Rocky
River Road in Union County. Reference review area description shown in Pre-
Construction Notification package entitled “Figures 1A-1E, Project Vicinity” and
Dated 06/10/2020.

respectively, along with the temporary stream impacts of 6,719 linear feet,
temporary wetland impacts of 1.165 acres and temporary open water impacts of
0.38 acres to facilitate the development of new water supply lines to a new water
treatment plant. All temporary stream, wetland, and open water impacts will be
restored to pre-existing conditions after the completion of construction.

1.4 Is this an After-the-Fact verification? No.

1.5 Date PCN determined complete for processing: 7/8/2020

1.6 Jurisdiction Determination completed? A Preliminary JD was completed on
10/22/2019.

1.7 Permit authority: Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344)

1.8 Applicable Permit: NWP 12. Utility Line Activities

1.9 Activity requires written waiver of NWP limits? No.

1.10 Activity requires a waiver from the requirements of a regional condition(s)? 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 loss 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.

2.2 Site specific factors: The review area consists of single-family residences,
commercial developments, parks, schools, agricultural fields, planted pines,
roadside rights-of-ways, and forested areas.

2.3 Coordination

2.3.1 Was the PCN coordinated with other agencies? No.

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. 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? Yes.

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.

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)? N/A.

If yes, provide the rationale for the deviation, including the likelihood for ecological
success and sustainability, location of the compensation site relative to the impact site
and their significance within the watershed, and/or the costs of the compensatory
mitigation project (see 33 CFR §332.3(a)(1)):

2.4.4 Amount of compensatory mitigation: 1.73 acres of wetland credit

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. Permanent wetland conversion impacts
are considered at a compensatory mitigation ratio of 1:1. In addition, open water
impacts were considered at a compensatory mitigation ratio of 0.5:1.

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? No. The Corps has determined that it
has fulfilled its responsibilities under Section 7(a)(2) of the ESA.
IPAC Species in Union/Stanly County:
Stanly County
NAME: Northern Long-eared Bat (Myotis septentrionalis) STATUS: Threatened

NAME: Schweinitz’s sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii) STATUS: Endangered
NAME: Carolina heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorata) STATUS: Endangered
NAME: Michaux’s sumac (Rhus michauxii) STATUS: Endangered
NAME: Schweinitz’s sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii) 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, there are no protected species located within or in the vicinity of the
action area. 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).
The USACE reviewed this project in accordance with (IAW) the NLEB Standard
Local Operating Procedures for Endangered Species (SLOPES) between the
USACE, 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 June 8,
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

Final description of the permit area: All three test have been met and portions of the
larger project undertaken outside of waters of the U.S. are in the permit area.
Activities undertaken outside WOUS are included in the permit area because
those activities are directly associated and integrally related with the authorized
work and those activities would not occur but for the authorization of the work
within the WOUS.

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.
