Upon completion of the force main installation, the temporary stream impacts will be restored to pre -construction conditions. E. Impact Justification and Mitigation O 1. Avoidance and Minimization la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project: Avoidance and Minimization The proposed force main improvement project is located within an existing easement that connects the Franklin WTP located at 5100 Brookshire Boulevard and the Vest WTP located at 820 Beatties Ford Road in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. The easement is owned and operated by Charlotte Water. H&H reviewed State and Federal threatened and endangered species databases for the Site and conducted a screening survey of the Site and surrounding area for federally -listed threatened and endangered species and their habitats, and none were identified. H&H also reviewed the National Registry of Historic Places (NRHP) for Sites located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina; the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (NC SHPO) GIS viewer; and the Site and surrounding area via visual reconnaissance for the potential presence of historic, cultural, and/or archeological sites. No recorded sites were noted on or adjacent to the Site. H&H requested comment on the Site from the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC), and NC SHPO in November 2022. Agency responses are included in Appendix D. To minimize Site impacts, the proposed installation plan was designed to avoid Waters of the US to the maximum extent practicable. The force main installation will be conducted entirely within an existing easement, and no additional land area is required to facilitate this project. Furthermore, the force main pipe will completely avoid crossings to SCA in the eastern portion of the Site and to Stewart Creek in the central portion of the Site. The force main will be installed below an existing culvert located within SCA and will not result in additional impacts to SCA. The force main will be installed aerially on existing piers in and near Stewart Creek and will not result in additional impacts to Stewart Creek. Only temporary impacts to SCB, SCD, and SCE are required to facilitate the installation of the force main pipe. The only permanent impact proposed by the project is to SCE to install an emergency access crossing, which will be used by Charlotte Water for maintenance and access throughout the easement as needed. The permanent impact is minimal and only totals approximately 30 linear feet of stream impact. Furthermore, the force main pipe is needed by Charlotte Water in order to pump residuals and backwash generated at the Vest WTP to the Franklin WTP for treatment where Charlotte Water has the greater capacity and technology to do so. The force main will be installed using open -cut trench techniques within the streams and throughout the easement, and the streams will be restored to pre -construction conditions and contours upon the completion of the installation. The restoration activities will be conducted in accordance with Charlotte Water's design manual. During Site development, good erosion and sediment control practices will be followed. Extensive silt fencing will be used on the construction Site perimeter and along stream channels. Mitigation Mitigation is typically required by Nationwide Permit #58 for stream impacts greater than 0.02 acre. Although the proposed permanent stream impact only totals approximately 0.007 acre, the Site is located within the 103 Watershed. Permanent impacts within the 103 Watershed which result in the loss of jurisdictional waters typically require compensatory mitigation. Therefore, compensatory mitigation for the 30-linear foot (0.007-acre) impact to SCE is proposed in the form of purchasing mitigation credits from the City of Charlotte Umbrella Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank. The Credit Reservation Letter is attached in Appendix F. Based on the NC SAM, the stream quality of SCE is low. Based on the results of the NC SAM, the proposed mitigation ratio for stream impact is 2:1. 1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques: Avoidance and Minimization The proposed force main improvement project is located within an existing easement that connects the Franklin WTP located at 5100 Brookshire Boulevard and the Vest WTP located at 820 Beatties Ford Road in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.

The Site consists primarily of a maintained utility corridor owned by Charlotte Water and public rights -of -ways along roadways. H&H is submitting this PCN application in order to receive verification to use Nationwide Permit (NWP) 958 for the proposed force main improvement project. H&H conducted a stream and wetlands survey at the Site on October 18 and 19, 2022. H&H submitted a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) request to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) Asheville Regulatory Field Office on January 25, 2023 for approval. The project was assigned Action ID SAW-2023-00273. On March 6, 2023, H&H received the PJD for the Site from Mr. Doug Perez of the USACE Charlotte Regulatory Field Office. The PJD document is included as Appendix E. 2923 5outh Tryon Street, 5uite 100 3921 Sunset Ridge Rd, Suite 301 Charlotte, NC 28203 Raleigh, NC 27607 www.harthickman.com 704.586.0007 main 919.847A241 main Mr. Doug Perez March 9, 2023 Page 2 The following jurisdictional stream features were identified on the Site: • Stream Channel "A" (SCA) — perennial stream (approximately 32 linear feet) • Stream Channel "B" (SCB) — intermittent stream (approximately 31 linear feet) • Stream Channel "C" (SCC) — perennial stream (approximately 33 linear feet) • Stream Channel "D" (SCD) — intermittent stream (approximately 29 linear feet) • Stream Channel "E" (SCE) — perennial stream (approximately 65 linear feet) SCC represents Stewart Creek. No jurisdictional wetland areas were identified on the Site. This force main improvement project is needed by Charlotte Water to pump residuals and backwash generated at the Vest WTP to the Franklin WTP for treatment where Charlotte Water has the greater capacity and technology to do so. Charlotte Water is proposing to permanently impact approximately 30 linear feet of SCE and to temporarily impact approximately 29 linear feet of SCE. Charlotte Water is also proposing to temporarily impact approximately 30 linear feet of SCB and approximately 30 linear feet of SCD. The permanent impact to SCE is proposed to facilitate the installation of an emergency access crossing for maintenance and access throughout the easement. The temporary impacts to SCB, SCD, and SCE are proposed to facilitate the installation of the force main pipe through the easement via open cut installation methods. Upon completion of the force main installation, temporarily impacted streams will be restored to pre -construction conditions. Additional impacts to other on -Site streams are not proposed. The force main crossing of SCA will be installed beneath an existing culvert located within SCA that will not result in additional temporary or permanent impacts to SCA. Furthermore, the force main pipe will be installed aerially on existing piers over Stewart Creek, which will not result in additional temporary or permanent impacts to Stewart Creek. Although the proposed permanent impact to SCE is less than the typical mitigation threshold for NWP 458 of 0.02 acre of stream impacts in the Wilmington District, the Site is located within hydrologic unit code 03050103 (103 Watershed). Due to the Site's location within the 103 https://huthick.shuepoint.com/sites/A4mterFiles-1/Shared Documents/AAA-Master Projects/Charlotte Mecklenburg Utilities - CMU/CMU400s ContracUCMU428 Franklin to Vest Wetlands/Wetland Delineation/Permitting/02_Cover _letter.doc 14 hart hickman SMARTER ENV}RONMENTAL SOLUT ON5 Mr. Doug Perez March 9, 2023 Page 3 Watershed, permanent impacts which result in the loss of jurisdictional waters typically require compensatory mitigation. Therefore, mitigation for the permanent stream impact is proposed via the City of Charlotte Umbrella Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank. Based on the North Carolina Stream Assessment Method (NC SAM), the stream quality of SCE is low. Based on the results of the NC SAM, the proposed mitigation ratio for the stream impact is 2:1. Compensatory stream mitigation is not required or proposed for the temporary stream impacts. H&H is seeking a Nationwide Permit 958 verification for this force main improvement project. A copy of the PCN submittal package has also been submitted to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Division of Water Resources (DEQ DWR) via the ePCN. https://huthick.shuepoint.com/sites/A4mterFiles-1/Shared Documents/AAA-Master Projects/Charlotte Mecklenburg Utilities - CMU/CMU400s ContracUCMU428 Franklin to Vest Wetlands/Wetland Delineation/Permitting/02_Cover _letter.doc 14 hart hickman SMARTER ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUT)ON5 Mr. Doug Perez March 9, 2023 Page 4 Should you have questions or require additional information, please feel free to contact Danielle Clark at 518-598-2862.

The easement is owned and operated by Charlotte Water. H&H reviewed State and Federal threatened and endangered species databases for the Site and conducted a screening survey of the Site and surrounding area for federally -listed threatened and endangered species and their habitats, and none were identified. H&H also reviewed the National Registry of Historic Places (NRHP) for Sites located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina; the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (NC SHPO) GIS viewer; and the Site and surrounding area via visual reconnaissance for the potential presence of historic, cultural, and/or archeological sites. No recorded sites were noted on or adjacent to the Site. H&H requested comment on the Site from the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC), and NC SHPO in November 2022. Agency responses are included in Appendix D. To minimize Site impacts, the proposed installation plan was designed to avoid Waters of the US to the maximum extent practicable. The force main installation will be conducted entirely within an existing easement, and no additional land area is required to facilitate this project. Furthermore, the force main pipe will completely avoid crossings to SCA in the eastern portion of the Site and to Stewart Creek in the central portion of the Site. The force main will be installed below an existing culvert located within SCA and will not result in additional impacts to SCA. The force main will be installed aerially on existing piers in and near Stewart Creek and will not result in additional impacts to Stewart Creek. Only temporary impacts to SCB, SCD, and SCE are required to facilitate the installation of the force main pipe. The only permanent impact proposed by the 1 https://huthick.shuepoint.coin/sites/A4mterFiles-1/Shared Documents/AAA-Master Projects/Charlotte Mecklenburg Utilities -CMU/CMU-400s hart : hickman Contract/CMU428 Franklin to Vest WetlandsMetland Delineation/Pennitting/08_C - Avoid and Minimize.docx SMARTER ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS project is to SCE to install an emergency access crossing, which will be used by Charlotte Water for maintenance and access throughout the easement as needed. The permanent impact is minimal and only totals approximately 30 linear feet of stream impact. Furthermore, the force main pipe is needed by Charlotte Water in order to pump residuals and backwash generated at the Vest WTP to the Franklin WTP for treatment where Charlotte Water has the greater capacity and technology to do so. The force main will be installed using open -cut trench techniques within the streams and throughout the easement, and the streams will be restored to pre -construction conditions and contours upon the completion of the installation. The restoration activities will be conducted in accordance with Charlotte Water's design manual. During Site development, good erosion and sediment control practices will be followed. Extensive silt fencing will be used on the construction Site perimeter and along stream channels. Mitigation Mitigation is typically required by Nationwide Permit 958 for stream impacts greater than 0.02 acre. Although the proposed permanent stream impact only totals approximately 0.007 acre, the Site is located within the 103 Watershed. Permanent impacts within the 103 Watershed which result in the loss of jurisdictional waters typically require compensatory mitigation. Therefore, compensatory mitigation for the 30-linear foot (0.007-acre) impact to SCE is proposed in the form of purchasing mitigation credits from the City of Charlotte Umbrella Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank. The Credit Reservation Letter is attached in Appendix F. Based on the NC SAM, the stream quality of SCE is low. Based on the results of the NC SAM, the proposed mitigation ratio for stream impact is 2:1. 2 https://huthick.shuepoint.coin/sites/A4mterFiles-1/Shared Documents/AAA-Master Projects/Charlotte Mecklenburg Utilities -CMU/CMU-400s hart : hickman Contract/CMU428 Franklin to Vest WetlandsMetland Delineation/Pennitting/08_C - Avoid and Minimize.docx SMARTER ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS Appendix D Supplemental Documents hart hickman SMARTER ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS Table 1.

Dear Ms. Clark: On November 16, 2022, we received (via email) your information requesting our review of the subject project. We have reviewed the information that you presented for this request and the following comments are provided in accordance with the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C.§ 4321 et seq.) and section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 - 1543) (Act). On July 5, 2022, the U.S. District Court of the Northern District Court of California vacated the 2019 regulations implementing section 7 of the Act. On September 21, 2022, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals granted a request to stay the U.S. District Court of Northern California's July 5, 2022, order that vacated the 2019 Act regulations. As a result, the 2019 regulations are again in effect, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has relied upon the 2019 regulations in issuing our written concurrence on the action agency's "may affect, not -likely -to -adversely -affect" determination. However, because the outcome of the legal challenges to the 2019 Act regulations is still unknown, we considered whether our substantive analyses and conclusions would have been different if the pre-2019 regulations were applied in this informal consultation. Our analysis included the prior definition of "effects of the action." We considered all the "direct and indirect effects" and the "interrelated and interdependent activities" when determining the "effects of the action." We then considered whether any "effects of the action" that overlap with applicable ranges of listed species would be wholly beneficial, insignificant, or discountable to the species. As a result, we determined the substantive analysis and conclusions would have been the same, irrespective of which regulations applied. Proiect Description According to the information provided, the City of Charlotte proposes installation of approximately 12.2 miles of force main from the Franklin WTP to the Vest WTP in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. The force main will be installed within an existing 40-foot-wide easement. Federally Listed Species An assessment of suitable habitat and potential impacts to five species was conducted by environmental specialists with ECS Southeast, LLP on October 18 and 19, 2022. The findings were compiled and included in the review request submitted to our office on November 16, 2022. The following species and their associated habitats were evaluated. Species Status' Carolina heelsplitter Lasmigona decorata E Michaux's sumac Rhus michauxii E Rusty -patched bumble bee Bombus affinis E Schweinitz's sunflower Helianthus schweinitzii E Smooth coneflower Echinacea laevigata T lE = endangered and T = threatened. The Service's Information for Planning and Consultation system (IPAC) identifies proposed and listed species, and proposed and designated critical habitat that may occur within the proposed project's action area. Only those species identified on the official species list generated by IPAC need analysis during project review. Carolina heelsplitter and rusty -patched bumble bee are not identified on the official species list for this project; therefore, consultation is not needed for these species. The review request states that suitable habitats for Michaux's sumac, Schweinitz's sunflower, and smooth coneflower are present on site; however, the species were not observed during surveys. Based on negative results of visual surveys conducted on October 18 and 19, 2022, we would concur with "may affect, not likely to adversely affect" determinations from the lead federal action agency for these species. Suitable habitat for tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus) may be present at the site. On September 14, 2022, the Service published a proposal in the Federal Register to list the tricolored bat as endangered under the Act. The Service has up to 12 months from the date the proposal published to make a final determination, either to list the tricolored bat under the Act or to withdraw the proposal. The Service determined the bat faces extinction primarily due to the range -wide impacts of WNS. Because tricolored bat populations have been greatly reduced due to WNS, surviving bat populations are now more vulnerable to other stressors such as human disturbance and habitat loss. Species proposed for listing are not afforded protection under the Act; however, as soon as a listing becomes effective (typically 30 days after publication of the final rule in the Federal Register), the prohibitions against jeopardizing its continued existence and "take" will apply. Therefore, if you suspect your future or existing project may affect tricolored bats after the potential new listing goes into effect, we recommend analyzing possible effects of the project on tricolored bats and their habitat to determine whether consultation under section 7 of the Act is necessary. Conferencing procedures can be followed prior to listing to ensure the project does not jeopardize the existence of a species. Projects with an existing section 7 biological opinion may require re -initiation of consultation to provide uninterrupted authorization for covered activities. Please contact our office for additional guidance or assistance. We believe the requirements under section 7 of the Act are fulfilled for the federally listed species discussed above. However, obligations under section 7 of the Act must be reconsidered if: (1) new information reveals impacts of the identified action may affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered, (2) the identified action is subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review, or (3) a new species is listed or critical habitat is determined that may be affected by the identified action. Fish and Wildlife Resource Recommendations We offer the following general recommendations for the benefit of fish and wildlife resources: • Equipment Use in Riparian Areas and In -Stream. Equipment should be operated from the streambank. If in -stream work is necessary, stone causeways, work bridges, or mats (designed for the specific location and type of equipment) should be used. Work pads on streambanks or approaches to in -stream work areas should minimize disturbance to woody vegetation. Equipment operated in riparian areas and in/near aquatic resources should be inspected daily and maintained regularly to prevent contamination of surface waters from leaking fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials. Construction staging, toxic material storage, and equipment maintenance, including refueling, should occur outside of the riparian area. The project proponent should report any toxic material spills in riparian areas and/or aquatic resources to the Service within 24 hours. Erosion and Sedimentation Control. Construction activities near aquatic resources, streams, and wetlands have the potential to cause bank destabilization, water pollution, and water quality degradation if measures to control site runoff are not properly installed and maintained. In order to effectively reduce erosion and sedimentation impacts, best management practices specific to the extent and type of construction should be designed and installed prior to land -disturbing activities and should be maintained throughout construction. Natural fiber matting (coir) should be used for erosion control as synthetic netting can trap animals and persists in the environment beyond its intended purpose. Land disturbance should be limited to what can be stabilized quickly, preferably by the end of the workday. Once construction is complete, disturbed areas should be revegetated with native riparian grass and tree species as soon as possible. For maximum benefits to water quality and bank stabilization, riparian areas should be forested; however, if the areas are maintained in grass, they should not be mowed. The Service can provide information on potential sources of plant material upon request. A complete design manual that is consistent with the requirements of the North Carolina Sedimentation and Pollution Control Act and Administrative Rules, can be found at the following website: https:lldeq.nc.govlabout/divisions/energy-mineral-land-resources. Stream Buffers. Natural, forested riparian buffers are critical to the health of aquatic ecosystems. They accomplish the following: o Catch and filter runoff, thereby helping to prevent nonpoint-source pollutants from reaching streams. o Enhance the in -stream processing of both point- and nonpoint-source pollutants. o Act as "sponges" by absorbing runoff (which reduces the severity of floods) and by allowing runoff to infiltrate and recharge groundwater levels (which maintains stream flows during dry periods). o Catch and help prevent excess woody debris from entering the stream and creating logjams. o Stabilize stream banks and maintain natural channel morphology. o Provide coarse woody debris for habitat structure and most of the dissolved organic carbon and other nutrients necessary for the aquatic food web. o Maintain air and water temperatures around the stream. Forested riparian buffers (a minimum 50 feet wide along intermittent streams and 100 feet wide along perennial streams [or the full extent of the 100-year floodplain, whichever is greater]) should be created and/or maintained adjacent to all aquatic areas. Within the watersheds supporting federally listed aquatic species, we recommend undisturbed, forested buffers that are naturally vegetated with trees, shrubs, and herbaceous vegetation. These buffers should extend a minimum of 200 feet from the banks of all perennial streams and a minimum of 100 feet from the banks of all intermittent streams (or the full extent of the 100-year floodplain, whichever is greater.) Impervious surfaces, ditches, pipes, roads, utility lines (sewer, water, gas, transmission, etc.), and other infrastructure that requires maintenance, cleared rights -of -way and/or compromise the functions and values of the forested buffers should not occur within these riparian areas. • Utility Line Crossings. In the interest of reducing impacts to natural resources, utility crossings (i.e., sewer, gas, and water lines) should be kept to a minimum, and all utility infrastructure (including manholes) should be kept out of riparian buffer areas. If a utility crossing is necessary, we recommend that you first consider the use of directional boring. Directional boring under streams significantly minimizes impacts to aquatic resources and riparian buffers. If directional boring cannot be used and trenching is determined to be the only viable method, every effort should be made to ensure that impacts to in -stream features are minimized and stabilized upon completion of the project. Our past experiences with open -trench crossings indicate that this technique increases the likelihood for future lateral movement of the stream (which could undercut or erode around the utility line), and the correction of such problems could result in costly future maintenance and devastating impacts to natural resources. Therefore, as much work as possible should be accomplished in the dry, and the amount of disturbance should not exceed what can be successfully stabilized by the end of the workday. In -stream work should avoid the spring fish spawning season and should consider forecasted high flow events. Regardless of the crossing method, all utility lines should cross streams perpendicularly. We strongly encourage that a qualified biologist monitor the work area until the work is complete in order to identify any additional impact -minimization measures. The Service may be available to assist you in this effort. To determine if any maintenance is required, the work site should be monitored at least every 3 months during the first 24 months and annually thereafter. Moreover, we recommend the development of a riparian monitoring and maintenance program that would outline procedures for the prompt stabilization of streambanks near the utility crossing (should any streambank erosion or destabilization occur) throughout the life of this project. The Service appreciates the opportunity to provide these comments. Please contact Ms. Rebekah Reid of our staff at rebekah_reid@fws.gov, if you have any questions. In any future correspondence concerning this project, please reference Log Number 4-2-23-316.

Biologists with NCWRC have reviewed the subject information. Comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667e) and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.). Hart & Hickman, PC (H&H) is requesting information on the potential impacts to threatened and endangered species and critical habitats at or near the proposed Franklin to Vest Force Main Improvement Project. The force main pipe will be installed between the Charlotte Water Franklin Water Treatment Plant (WTP) located at 5100 Brookshire Boulevard and the Vest WTP located at 820 Beatties Ford in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. The site consists primarily of maintained utility corridor and paved roadways. The project will cross Stewart Creek and its unnamed tributaries. Stewart Creek in the Catawba River Basin is classified as a Class C stream by the NC Division of Water Resources. We have no current records of state or federal rare, threatened, or endangered species in or near the project. H&H surveyed the site for federally protected species and their suitable habitat in October 2022, and no individuals or their habitat were observed during the field survey. We offer the following preliminary recommendations to minimize impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources. 1. Maintain a minimum 100-foot undisturbed, native, forested buffer along perennial streams, and a minimum 50-foot buffer along intermittent streams and wetlands. Maintaining undisturbed, forested buffers along these areas will minimize impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources, water quality, and aquatic habitat both within and downstream of the project area.

All utility crossings of streams and wetlands should be kept to a minimum, which includes careful routing design and the combination of utility crossings into the same right-of-way (provided there is not a safety issue). Sewer lines, water lines, and other utility infrastructure should be kept out of riparian buffer areas. Manholes or similar access structures should not be allowed within buffer areas. Stream crossings should be near perpendicular (750 to 1050) to stream flow. Jack and bore stream crossing method should be used for utility crossings wherever practicable. However, if jack and boring cannot be used on all streams and trenching is determined to be the only viable method, every effort should be made to ensure that impacts to in -stream features are minimized and stable upon completion of the project. Open -trench crossings have been found to increase the likelihood for future lateral movement of the stream (which could undercut or erode around the utility line), and the correction of such problems could result in costly future maintenance and devastating impacts to natural resources. Therefore, as much work as possible should be accomplished in the dry, and the amount of disturbance should not exceed what can be successfully stabilized by the end of the workday. In -stream work should consider forecasted high -flow events. 4. Avoid tree clearing activities during the maternity roosting season for bats (May 15 — August 15) because of the decline in populations of several tree -roosting bat species. 5. In -stream work should consider forecasted high -flow events. Sediment and erosion control measures should be installed prior to any land -disturbing activity. Banks should be stabilized and sediment barriers installed as soon as possible, but at least within 24 hours. 6. During construction, equipment should not be staged in stream channels or riparian buffers. Sediment and erosion control measures should be installed prior to any land -disturbing activity. The use of biodegradable and wildlife -friendly sediment and erosion control devices is strongly recommended throughout the project. Silt fencing, fiber rolls and/or other products should have loose -weave netting that is made of natural fiber materials with movable joints between the vertical and horizontal twines. Silt fencing that has been reinforced with plastic or metal mesh should be avoided as it impedes the movement of terrestrial wildlife species. Excessive silt and sediment loads can have detrimental effects on aquatic resources including destruction of spawning habitat, suffocation of eggs, and clogging of gills. Non-native plants should not be used for seeding disturbed areas. Specifically, avoid using Bermudagrass, redtop, tall fescue, and lespedeza, which are invasive and/or non-native. A list of alternatives to non-native species has been attached. Alternatively, use a grain, such as oats, wheat, or rye for temporary cover and native seed mixes for permeant seeding. We recommend planting native, wildflower seed mixes that will create pollinator habitat within the project boundary. At this time, the information provided is not sufficient for our staff to make definitive recommendations or conclusions concerning this project.

Waters, Ph.D. dclarkghathickman.com Re: Install force main between Franklin water treatment plant and Vest water treatment plant, Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, ER 22-2854 Dear Ms. Clark: Thank you for your email of November 17, 2022, regarding the above -referenced undertaking. We have reviewed the submission and offer the following comments. We apologize for the delay in our response. Based on the location of the proposed line within the confines of Sanders Avenue, the project will have no adverse effect on the National Register -eligible Excelsior Club (MK1829) and Charlotte Water Works/Vest Station (MK1815). Additionally, we have determined that the project as proposed will have no adverse effect on the Study -Listed Franklin Water Works (MK2158). Based on our knowledge of the area, it is unlikely that any archaeological resources that may be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places will be affected by the project. We, therefore, recommend that no archaeological investigation be conducted in connection with this project. The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR Part 800. Thank you for your cooperation and consideration.

Indicate Which of the Following Apply: A. Preliminary Determination ® There appear to be waters 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 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 12/5/2022. 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. ❑ There appear to be waters 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 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 over all of the waters at the project area, which is not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision. We recommend that you have the waters 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 waterson 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. ❑ We recommend you have the waters 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. SAW-2023-00273 ❑ The waters 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 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 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. ❑ 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. ❑ 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 (252) 808-2808 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).

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 AID or a PJD, the JD will be processed as soon as practicable. Further, an AID, 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 "maybe " 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: SUPPORTING DATA.
