Subject- Charlotte Water
Briar Creek Relief Sewer - Phase III
Pre - Construction Notification for Nationwide 12
CDM Smith Project No. 1363 -90893
Dear Ms. Burdette,
Charlotte Water proposes to construct a new sewer along Briar Creek in Mecklenburg County. The Briar
Creek Relief Sewer is needed to increase capacity in the sewer system to minimize system surcharging and
overflows The overall project is being designed and constructed in three separate phases, and this
application addresses only Phase III. Phases I and II of the project have already been permitted and
constructed Phase III of the Briar Creek Relief Sewer project involves the installation of approximately
3,914 feet of 42 -inch, 2,835 feet of 36 -inch, 3,051 of 30 -inch, 2,541 of 2� -inch, 4,968 of 18 -inch and 523 of
12-inch diameter sewer. The project will begin just east of Country Club Drive and follow Briar Creek
upstream to north of Quiet Cove Court. Briar Creek will be temporarily impacted by installation of the sewer
pipe across Briar Creek and its tributaries at 25 locations. In addition, seventeen existing aerial sewers
crossing Briar Creek or its tributaries will be removed No wetlands will be impacted by this project.
Please find enclosed the following documents for your review:
1) A check in the amount of $570 for the application fee,
2) Five copies of the Pre - Construction Notification Application,
3) Two full -size copies and three 12X18 copies of the plans,

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project
The sewer was designed to cross streams at near - perpendicular angles and will be buried below stream so as not to block flow Sewer rehabilitation
is being performed where sewer upsizing is not necessary Tunnels and hack and bore construction are not practicable for this application due to
safety concerns and the presence of mixed rock and soil conditions
lb Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques
After construction, disturbed stream banks will be restored to their original contours Rip rap will be placed below the high watermark, and stream
banks above the high water mark will be re- vegetated with woody plantings Trenchless construction is not practicable for this project except at road
and railroad crossings The use of horizontal directional drilling does not apply to gravity sewer constructed at a constant slope

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSEMENT FOR THE BRIER CREEK SEWER SYSTEM
IMPROVEMENTS, MECKLENBURG COUNTY
August 27, 2002
Project Applicant: Charlotte - Mecklenburg Utilities
Project Number: SCH 02 -E -4300 -0374
DWQ # 13101
Responsible Agency: NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources
Division of Water Quality, Water Quality Section
Pursuant to the requirements of the North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (N.C.G.S. § 113A -1, et
seq.), an environmental assessment (EA) has been prepared for sewer system improvements along Brier
Creek in Mecklenburg County. The project includes approximately 10.8 miles of 12- to 60 -inch relief
and replacement sewer, a 68 -MGD wastewater pump station, and some rehabilitation of the existing trunk
sewer along Brier Creek. The proposed improvements will increase capacity in the system to minimize
system surcharging and overflows and will accommodate build out of the service area. The project will be
phased over a 10 -year period.
The existing Brier Creek sewer system has experienced increased wet - weather flows that have resulted in
system surcharging and overflows. Four alternatives and the no- action alternative were considered as part
of the EA process. The four alternatives included (1) off -line flow equalization storage facilities with
relief and replacement sewer, (2) wet weather pump station and force main with relief and replacement
sewer, (3) single replacement and/or relief sewer, and (4) priority area or comprehensive collection sewer
rehabilitation. A single replacement and relief sewer with a receiving pump station was chosen as the
preferred alternative based on cost - effectiveness, reliability, operation and maintenance, environmental
impacts, and overflow reduction. The preferred alternative would remove four existing aerial sewer
crossings and has been designed to provide capacity for wet - weather flows at build out.
In recent years, the Mecklenburg County Department of Environmental Protection has observed high
levels of fecal coliform bacteria in Brier Creek. This project will help improve water quality in the area by
minimizing sewer overflows, a source of fecal coliform.
The proposed improvements begin upstream of Quiet Cove Court and follow Brier Creek downstream to
the existing Sugar Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant in west Charlotte. An expansion of the plant is not
planned in conjunction with this project. The proposed 68 -MGD pump station will be constructed at the
existing Sugar Creek Plant to receive wastewater from the 14,000 -acre Brier Creek service area. No new
service area is being added as part of this project.
The Brier Creek service area is located in the Catawba River Basin and is under the local government
jurisdiction of the City of Charlotte. The project applicant, Charlotte - Mecklenburg Utilities, is a joint
city- county public water and wastewater utility. The proposed sewer is routed through primarily
residential areas with pockets of commercial and light industrial`cl"evelopment. The Brier Creek service
area is nearly built -out. Most of the remaining development will occur as infill development and
redevelopment.

Brier Creek
Page 2
The sewer system has been routed to avoid several wetland areas and the Isaac Newton Alexander Mill
Ruin, a site of historical importance. Sewer pipeline will be installed using typical cut and cover methods.
The pipeline will cross a wetland located off Tyvola Road and Brier Creek at 14 locations, temporarily
disturbing less than one acre. At stream crossings, the pipelines will be installed at angles as close to 90
degrees as possible. Minimal, temporary impacts to aquatic species and habitat will occur due to stream
diversion and trenching at stream crossings. Riprap will be placed below the high water stage. There are
no records of known rare, threatened, or endangered species in or within 1 mile of the project area.
Disturbed areas will be restored to original contours and banks will be revegetated with woody plantings
The wetland site will be restored after sewer installation.
Approximately 5 to 7 acres of previously disturbed woodland will be cleared. Tree removal has been
minimized due to installation within or adjacent to existing roads and right -of -ways. Cleared areas will
be revegetated with wildlife- friendly herbaceous species. Construction will be required to follow a state -
approved Erosion and Sediment Control Plan. Buffer zones will only be disturbed at the stream
crossings. Temporary construction - related noise and air quality impacts would be rmnimal.
Since the proposed improvements will accommodate build out of the service area, secondary and
cumulative impacts associated with new development may result from the project. However, the Brier
Creek service area is nearly built -out and most of the remaining development will occur as infill
development and redevelopment. The existing service area is expected to increase in population to build
out by 2030 (approximately 149o). No new service area is being added as part of this project. Any
impacts related to new development induced by the project will be mitigated to a level of insignificance
through measures implemented in Charlotte. Naturally vegetated buffers, ranging in width from 35 feet
to 100 feet depending on the size of the drainage basin, are protected by city ordinance. Brier Creek
requires a 100 -foot buffer. These buffers will help protect stream stabilization and restoration projects
along Brier Creek, and stream channels from future development impacts. In addition, other local
programs will mitigate impacts including water quality monitoring, stream restoration, floodplain
restrictions, stormwater ordinances, voluntary water conservation, and a reclaimed water program. These
measures are described in more detail in the EA.
The Division of Water Quality has concluded that the proposed project will not result in significant
impacts to the environment. This decision is based upon information provided in the EA and review by
governmental agencies. This EA and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSD are prerequisites for the
issuance of a Non - Discharge Permit and 401 Water Quality Certification by the Division of Water
Quality. An environmental impact statement will trot be prepared for this project. This FONSI completes
the environmental review record, which is available for inspection at the State Clearinghouse.

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT EUPACT AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
CHARLOTTE- NECKI.ENBURG UTUMUS — BRIAR CREEK SEWER SYSTEM IlVIPROVEMENTS
Pursuant to the requirements of the North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (N.C.G.S. § 113A -1, et seq.), an
environmental assessment (EA) has been prepared for sewer system improvements along Briar Creek in
Mecklenburg County. The project includes approximately 11 miles of 12- to 72 -inch diameter relief and
replacement sewer, a 200 million gallon per day (MGD) pump station, and some rehabilitation of the existing
trunk sewer along Briar Creek. The proposed improvements will increase capacity in the system to minimize
system surcharging and overflows and will accommodate build out of the service area. The project will be
completed in 3 phases over approximately 10- years.
Five alternatives were considered for this project: 1) no action; 2) off -line flow equalization storage facilities
with relief and replacement sewer; 3) wet weather pump station and force main with relief and replacement
sewer; 4) single replacement and/or relief sewer; and 5) priority area or comprehensive collection sewer
rehabilitation. The third alternative was selected based on cost - effectiveness, reliability, operation and
maintenance, environmental impacts, and overflow reduction. The preferred alternative will remove a total of
15 existing aerial sewer crossings and has been designed to provide capacity for wet - weather flows at build out.
Direct impacts have been avoided and minimized to the extent practicable during project planning and design;
these impacts are expected to be minimal and associated with construction of the proposed infrastructure. The
proposed improvements will follow Briar Creek downstream to the existing Sugar Creek Wastewater Treatment
Plant (VWVTP), which will not require expansion in association with this project. The sewer system has been
routed to avoid several wetland areas and the Isaac Newton Alexander Mill Ruin, a site of historical importance.
Sewer pipeline will be installed using typical cut and cover methods. The proposed pipeline will cross Briar
Creek a total of approximately 30 times. At stream crossings, the pipelines will be installed at angles as close to
90 degrees as possible. Minimal, temporary impacts to aquatic species and habitat will occur due to stream
diversion and trenching at the stream crossings. Riprap will be placed below the high water stage. Disturbed
stream and wetland areas will be restored to original contours and banks will be revegetated with woody
plantings. While tree removal has been minimized due to installation within or adjacent to existing roads and
rights -of -way, approximately 10 acres of forested area will be cleared. These areas will be revegetated with
wildlife- friendly herbaceous species. Riparian buffer areas will only be disturbed as necessary at stream
crossings.
Construction will follow a State- approved Sediment and Erosion Control Plan. Temporary construction- related
noise and air quality impacts should be minimal and localized.
Secondary and cumulative environmental impacts (SCIs) may result from this project and are outlined in the
EA. Because no new service area is being added as a part of this project, SCIs are expected to be minimal.
Most of the remaining development will occur as infill development and redevelopment. Programs to mitigate
such impacts in the project area such as zoning ordinances, buffer protections, floodplain restrictions, and
stormwater ordinances are described in detail in the EA.
Based on the findings of the EA, the impact avoidance /mitigation measures contained therein, and review by
governmental agencies, the Division of Water Quality has concluded that the proposed project will not result in
significant impacts to the environment. This EA and Finding of No Significant Impact (FNSI) are prerequisites
for the issuance of Division of Water Quality permits necessary for the project's construction. An
Environmental Impact Statement will not be prepared for this project. This FNSI completes the environmental
review record, which is available for inspection at the State Clearinghouse.

Briar Creek Sewer System, Mecklenburg County
As requested by the North Carolina State Clearinghouse, the North Carolina Department of
Crime Control and Public Safety Division of Emergency Management Office of Geospatial and
Technology Management (GTM) reviewed the proposed project listed above and offer the
following comments:
1) The proposed project is located in the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County
within the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) of Briar Creek. The City of Charlotte
and Mecklenburg County participate in the National Flood Insurance Program and
enforce Flood Damage Prevention Ordinances that requires a Floodplain Development
Permit be issued for all development located in the SFHA within their jurisdiction.
Please ensure that Mecklenburg County's Floodplain Administrator reviews and issues
permits for each part of the Briar Creek Sewer System within a SFHA.
2) If any work is to occur within the Floodway of Briar Creek, approval of either a no-
rise study with a no -rise certification for projects that do not increase base flood
elevation, or for projects that result In an increase in base flood elevations the
approval of a Conditional Letter of Map Revision, will be required prior to
construction.
3) All structures and utilities should be protected to the regulatory flood protection
elevation as described in Mecklenburg County's ordinance and 44 CFR 60.3.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have any questions concerning
the above comments, please contact Dan Brubaker, P.E., CFM, the NC NFIP Engineer at
(919) 825 -2300, by email at dan.brubaker(dncdps.gov or at the address shown on the
