4. Project Description and History
4a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: *
The project area begins along Statesville Road and heads east into Nevin Community Park. The first one -mile section of the project area is within the most developed area of the park. The
area includes sporting fields, playgrounds, picnic areas, and paved parking lots. The second one -mile section is primarily a wooded section of the park. There are several bare -ground
biking and walking trails throughout the forest. There are several stream crossings along the project route. The wooded section of the trail comes out at Nevin Road. The trail continues
250ft south on Nevin Road before crossing and entering the woods on the eastern side of Nevin Road. The trail continues approximately 0.35 miles south-southeast and terminates along
Cheviot Road. Nevin Community park and the proposed Irwin Creek Greenway are surrounded by residential properties and schools.
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past? *
Yes No Unknown
4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
0.01
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
1214
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: *
The purpose of the project is to provide an approximately 12,600-linear outdoor recreational walking trail to the local community. The greenway is predominately asphalt but includes 400
linear feet of elevated boardwalk, six pre -fabricated bridges, and one (1) 10' long swale bridge. The boardwalk will be 12 feet wide wood -framed boardwalk with a concrete deck over the
wood joists. The boardwalk will be supported by driven wood piles and concrete abutments. The pre -fabricated pedestrian bridges will be 12 feet wide and will be pre-engineered steel
bridges. The one (1) 10' swale bridge will be 8 feet wide. The asphalt trail will be 12 feet wide. The boardwalk will be located in the FEMA flood zones along Irwin Creek and other on -site
streams and wetlands. There are several residential properties and local schools in the vicinity of the proposed trail that could utilize the outdoor walking trail. The project is expected to
begin in June/July 2023 and is expected to be completed by December 2024. Trees will be cleared in sections throughout the project as the contractor sees fit, most clearing should occur
towards the beginning of the project working around the park events. This will likely occur in the fall of 2023.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: *
The project will create 13.68 acres of ground disturbance. Of that acreage, 0.01 acres of Palustrine Forested (PFO) Wetland will be permanently impacted by the construction of a
boardwalk along the greenway. Approximately 158 linear feet of stream will be temporarily impacted by the project. 26 linear feet of the stream will be temporarily impacted by the removal
of an existing culvert. This stream area will have the bed and bank of the stream restored. The remaining 282 linear feet of temporary stream impacts will be due to temporary stream
crossings. The stream crossings will utilize corrugated metal pipes (size and number may vary at each crossing), filter fabric, riprap, and 6" washed stone. The City of Charlotte Land
Development Standard 30 No.14 will be met and is included in the PCN. Dikes or cofferdams and check dams will be utilized in streams with baseflow. The Mecklenburg County Land
Development Standard 30 No.18 will be met and is included in the PCN.
Exact equipment will be decided by the subcontractor, but expect pile drivers from top -down construction for boardwalk areas, as well as percussive machinery for compaction outside of
the sewer easement.

1. Avoidance and Minimization

la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The overall trail route was decided based on the least intrusive route from Nevin Park, through Ribbonwalk Nature Preserve, and through Allen Hills
Park. It was refined through conversations with Mecklenburg County and more specifically the director of Ribbonwalk Nature Preserve, Which pushed
the greenway south, farther into the floodplain. This is to preserve the steep 2:1 slope on the north side of Irwin Creek which is an important stand of
trees for conservation as well as erosion control.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Materials and equipment needed to complete the crossings will be on the site prior to starting construction to limit the time in sensitive areas. All
permanent stream crossings associated with the trail, will be bridge crossings so permanent impacts to the streams will be avoided. Access for
construction vehicles will use temporary culverts over stream crossings. Stream crossings will cross the stream channels at a perpendicular angle. This
project will incorporate appropriate Best Management Practices for the control of sediment and erosion. No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind will
occur in wetlands or waters beyond the footprint of the impact (including temporary). One (1) existing trail crossing will be modified to remove the
existing culvert, restore the stream bed and bank, and bridge the area for the trail.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?
Yes No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
All stream crossings are temporary and will be restored to pre-existing conditions. The permanent wetland impact is 0.008 acres. The county greenway projects are looked at collectively
by the Corps. We propose that with minimal clearing in the wetland area and leaving the stumps, the restoration of 26 linear feet of the stream channel at Impact 1 will result in no net loss
for the project.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
la. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?

RE: Pre -Construction Notification for Irwin Creek Greenway Project
Mecklenburg County, North Carolina
Dear Ashville Regulatory Field Office:
Mecklenburg County Parks and Recreation (County) submits the enclosed Pre -Construction Notification
(PCN) for the Irwin Creek Greenway Project. The county is proposing to construct 12,00 linear feet of
pedestrian greenway from Nevin Park, through Ribbonwalk Nature Preserve, and through Allen Hill Park.
Dominion. The project area is in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.
The project will result in permanent impacts of approximately 0.008 acres of Palustrine Forested (PFO)
wetlands in order to place new a boardwalk along the trail. The project will result in temporary impacts to
approximately 158 linear feet of perennial (R3) streams in order to provide access to the trail for
construction. No section 10 waters are located within the project area.
Based on the scope of the proposed work, the project appears to meet the terms and conditions of
Nationwide Permit (NWP) - 42 (Recreational Facilities). The county submitted a Preliminary Jurisdictional
Determination (PJD) for the proposed project on May 13, 2022, to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(Corps). The applicant respectfully requests verification from the Corps that the activities are authorized
under the NWP program.
If you have any questions or need any additional information, please contact Katherine Shumaker at 434-
549-8510 or [e-mail].

Project Code: 2023-0040352
Project Name: Irwin Creek Greenway
February 01, 2023
Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The enclosed species list identifies threatened, endangered, proposed and candidate species, as
well as proposed and designated critical habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your
proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project. The enclosed species list
fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the
Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
Please note that new species information can change your official species list. Under 50 CFR
402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the Act, the accuracy of this species list
should be verified after 90 days. The Service recommends you visit the ECOS-IPaC website at
regular intervals during project planning and implementation to ensure your species list is
accurate or obtain an updated species list.
The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the
ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the
Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to
utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered
species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or
designated critical habitat.
A biological assessment (BA) or biological evaluation (BE) should be completed for your
project. A BA is required for major construction activities (or other undertakings having similar
physical impacts) considered to be Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2) (c))
(NEPA). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a BE be
prepared to determine effects of the action and whether those effects may affect listed species
and/or designated critical habitat. E?ects of the action are all consequences to listed species or
critical habitat that are caused by the proposed action, including the consequences of other

02/01/2023
activities that are caused by the proposed action. A consequence is caused by the proposed action
if it is reasonably certain to occur and would not occur "but for" the proposed action..
Recommended contents of a BA/BE are described at 50 CFR 402.12. More information and
resources about project review and preparing a BA/BE can be found at the following web link:
https://www.fws. gov/office/asheville-ecological-services/asheville-field-office-online-review-
process-overview.
If a Federal agency determines listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected
by the proposed project, the agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR
402. The Service is not required to concur with "no effect" determinations from Federal action
agencies. If consultation is required, the Service recommends that candidate species, proposed
species, proposed critical habitat, and at -risk species be addressed within the consultation. More
information on the regulations and procedures for section 7 consultation, including the role of
permit or licensed applicants, can be found in the "Endangered Species Consultation Handbook"
at the following web link: https://www.fws.gov/media/endangered-species-consultation-
handbook.
Migratory Birds: In addition to responsibilities to protect threatened and endangered species
under the Act, there are additional responsibilities under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA)
and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA) to protect native birds from project -
related impacts. Any activity, intentional or unintentional, resulting in take of migratory birds,
including eagles, is prohibited unless otherwise permitted by the Service (50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12
and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)). More information about MBTA and BGEPA can be found at the
following web link: https://www.fws.gov/program/migratory-birds.
We appreciate your consideration of Federally listed species. The Service encourages Federal
agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species in their project planning
to further the purposes of the Act. Please contact our staff at 828-258-3939, if you have any
questions. In any future correspondence concerning this project, please reference the
Consultation Code which can be found in the header of this letter.

The birds listed below are birds of particular concern either because they occur on the
USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) list or warrant special attention in your
project location. To learn more about the levels of concern for birds on your list and how this
list is generated, see the FAQ below. This is not a list of every bird you may find in this location,
nor a guarantee that every bird on this list will be found in your project area. To see exact
locations of where birders and the general public have sighted birds in and around your project
area, visit the E-bird data mapping tool (Tip: enter your location, desired date range and a species
on your list). For projects that occur off the Atlantic Coast, additional maps and models detailing
the relative occurrence and abundance of bird species on your list are available. Links to
additional information about Atlantic Coast birds, and other important information about your
migratory bird list, including how to properly interpret and use your migratory bird report, can be
found below.

Probability Of Presence Summary
The graphs below provide our best understanding of when birds of concern are most likely to be
present in your project area. This information can be used to tailor and schedule your project
activities to avoid or minimize impacts to birds. Please make sure you read and understand the
FAQ "Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report" before using or attempting
to interpret this report.
Probability of Presence (■)
Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability of presence in the 10km grid cell(s) your
project overlaps during a particular week of the year. (A year is represented as 12 4-week
months.) A taller bar indicates a higher probability of species presence. The survey effort (see
below) can be used to establish a level of confidence in the presence score. One can have higher
confidence in the presence score if the corresponding survey effort is also high.
How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps:
The probability of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events in
the week where the species was detected divided by the total number of survey events for
that week. For example, if in week 12 there were 20 survey events and the Spotted Towhee

02/01/2023
was found in 5 of them, the probability of presence of the Spotted Towhee in week 12 is
0.25.
2. To properly present the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of
presence is calculated. This is the probability of presence divided by the maximum
probability of presence across all weeks. For example, imagine the probability of presence
in week 20 for the Spotted Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of presence at week 12
(0.25) is the maximum of any week of the year. The relative probability of presence on
week 12 is 0.25/0.25 = 1; at week 20 it is 0.05/0.25 = 0.2.
3. The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a statistical
conversion so that all possible values fall between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is the
probability of presence score.
Breeding Season( )
Yellow bars denote a very liberal estimate of the time -frame inside which the bird breeds across
its entire range. If there are no yellow bars shown for a bird, it does not breed in your project
area.
Survey Effort (1)
Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of surveys
performed for that species in the 10km grid cell(s) your project area overlaps. The number of
surveys is expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 64 surveys.
No Data (—)
A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week.
Survey Timeframe
Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order to ensure delivery of currently relevant
information. The exception to this is areas off the Atlantic coast, where bird returns are based on
all years of available data, since data in these areas is currently much more sparse.

Migratory Birds FAQ
Tell me more about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts
to migratory birds.
Nationwide Conservation Measures describes measures that can help avoid and minimize
impacts to all birds at any location year round. Implementation of these measures is particularly
important when birds are most likely to occur in the project area. When birds may be breeding in
the area, identifying the locations of any active nests and avoiding their destruction is a very
helpful impact minimization measure. To see when birds are most likely to occur and be breeding
in your project area, view the Probability of Presence Summary. Additional measures or permits
may be advisable depending on the type of activity you are conducting and the type of
infrastructure or bird species present on your project site.
What does IPaC use to generate the list of migratory birds that potentially occur in my
specified location?
The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern
(BCQ and other species that may warrant special attention in your project location.

02/01/2023 5
The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian
Knowledge Network (AKN). The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey, banding,
and citizen science datasets and is queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as
occurring in the 10km grid cell(s) which your project intersects, and that have been identified as
warranting special attention because they are a BCC species in that area, an eagle (Eagle Act
requirements may apply), or a species that has a particular vulnerability to offshore activities or
development.
Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your
project area. It is not representative of all birds that may occur in your project area. To get a list
of all birds potentially present in your project area, please visit the Rapid Avian Information
Locator (RAIL,) Tool.
What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds
potentially occurring in my specified location?
The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data
provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). This data is derived from a growing
collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets.
Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information
becomes available. To learn more about how the probability of presence graphs are produced and
how to interpret them, go the Probability of Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me
about these graphs" link.
How do I know if a bird is breeding, wintering or migrating in my area?
To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding,
wintering, migrating or year-round), you may query your location using the RAIL Tool and look
at the range maps provided for birds in your area at the bottom of the profiles provided for each
bird in your results. If a bird on your migratory bird species list has a breeding season associated
with it, if that bird does occur in your project area, there may be nests present at some point
within the timeframe specified. If "Breeds elsewhere" is indicated, then the bird likely does not
breed in your project area.
What are the levels of concern for migratory birds?
Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern:
1. "BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) that are of concern
throughout their range anywhere within the USA (including Hawaii, the Pacific Islands,
Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands);
2. "BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation
Regions (BCRs) in the continental USA; and
3. "Non -BCC - Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on
your list either because of the Eagle Act requirements (for eagles) or (for non -eagles)
potential susceptibilities in offshore areas from certain types of development or activities
(e.g. offshore energy development or longline fishing).

02/01/2023 6
Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made,
in particular, to avoid and minimize impacts to the birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC
species of rangewide concern. For more information on conservation measures you can
implement to help avoid and minimize migratory bird impacts and requirements for eagles,
please see the FAQs for these topics.
Details about birds that are potentially affected by offshore projects
For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species
and groups of bird species within your project area off the Atlantic Coast, please visit the
Northeast Ocean Data Portal. The Portal also offers data and information about other taxa besides
birds that may be helpful to you in your project review. Alternately, you may download the bird
model results files underlying the portal maps through the NOAA NCCOS Integrative Statistical
Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic
Outer Continental Shelf project webpage.
Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use
throughout the year, including migration. Models relying on survey data may not include this
information. For additional information on marine bird tracking data, see the Diving Bird Study
and the nanotag studies or contact Caleb Spiegel or Pam Lorin.
What if I have eagles on my list?
If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid
violating the Eagle Act should such impacts occur.
Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report
The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of
birds of priority concern. To learn more about how your list is generated, and see options for
identifying what other birds may be in your project area, please see the FAQ "What does IPaC
use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location". Please be
aware this report provides the "probability of presence" of birds within the 10 km grid cell(s) that
overlap your project; not your exact project footprint. On the graphs provided, please also look
carefully at the survey effort (indicated by the black vertical bar) and for the existence of the "no
data" indicator (a red horizontal bar). A high survey effort is the key component. If the survey
effort is high, then the probability of presence score can be viewed as more dependable. In
contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar means a lack of data and, therefore, a lack of
certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply a starting point for
identifying what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area, when they might
be there, and if they might be breeding (which means nests might be present). The list helps you
know what to look for to confirm presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement
conservation measures to avoid or minimize potential impacts from your project activities,
should presence be confirmed. To learn more about conservation measures, visit the FAQ "Tell
me about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory
birds" at the bottom of your migratory bird trust resources page.
