Nationwide Permit 14 Application
Corps Action ID: SAW-2022-00437 / DWR Project #: 2022-0317
Doug / Paul:
The applicant, City of Charlotte, is requesting approval of the enclosed Nationwide Permit 14
application for unavoidable impacts to Waters of the United States. Atlas Environmental, Inc
(Atlas) completed a stream and wetland delineation and site evaluations on December 22,
2022; February 24, 2021, and October 18, 2021. The City of Charlotte is extending Garrison
Road to connect with Dixie River Road.
There are two streams on site. CH 100 is 234 linear feet (0.051 acre) and is perennial. CH 200
is 67 linear feet (0.004 acre) and is intermittent. The road crossing impact is necessary to
connect existing Garrison Road with existing Dixie River Road. This extension has been on
area development plans for over 30 years. Stream 100 (an unnamed tributary to Beaverdam
Creek) flows across the review area therefore crossing this stream is unavoidable. Impacts to
stream 200 are avoided using a retaining wall.
This road extension will require one permanent stream crossing. Impact S1 on CH 100 is for
the construction of the road crossing. This impact will include 89 linear feet (0.024 acre) of CH
100. A retaining wall is also being utilized at the road crossing to avoid additional impacts.
Three box culverts will be used for the road crossing. The base flow box culvert will be buried
one foot to aquatic life movement. A fourth box culvert is included to allow for pedestrian traffic
for a future greenway trail within Berewick Park. This pedestrian culvert has been relocated
outside of the NC DMS / NC Stewardship office conservation easement.
The project is located with the Catawba 01 HUC. Mitigation at a 2:1 ratio is proposed for the
stream impacts. The Interagency Review Team (IRT) has approved impacts to the
conservation easement. Please see the enclosed memo from Todd Tugwell.
The Garrison Road Extension plans and Post Construction Stormwater Calculations were
initially submitted back in December of 2021 and have been through 3 rounds of reviews with
the City of Charlotte Land Development department. During these reviews, the City
Engineering department has requested copies of the 404 and 401 approvals each time. The
City Land Development department will not issue any approvals on their end until the 404 and

401 have been approved. Land Development approval includes erosion, urban forestry,
planning, zoning, engineering, and stormwater. Thomas and Hutton, the civil engineers for this
project, have created a Flood Study CLOMR application that has been revised three times by
Charlotte -Mecklenburg Storm Water Services. The most current version was recently submitted
back into review with Charlotte -Mecklenburg Storm Water Services for their local review before
it is sent to FEMA for final approval.
Enclosed are the necessary permit application documents and additional information. Thank
you for your attention to the enclosed request. Please contact me if you need any additional
information.

MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD
SUBJECT: Action ID # SAW-2022-00437
Comments on the CDOT Garrison Road I
Beaverdam Creek Mitigation Site
Summary:
January 13, 2023
& SAW-2006-30735, NCIRT Review
:xtension and Crossing of the NCDMS
The City of Charlotte DOT (CDOT) proposes to modify the conservation easement for
the NC Division of Mitigation Services Beaverdam Creek Stream Mitigation Project
(SAW-2006-30735), located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, for the purposes of
extending Garrison Road across the mitigation site and stream, to provide a connection
with Dixie River Road. The proposed Garrison Road extension is required by the City
as part of their thoroughfare plan; however, Construction of Garrison Road would be
accomplished by the McCraney Property Company who are also the applicants for the
required 404 permit authorization (SAW-2022-00437). The permit application has been
submitted to the Corps but is currently on hold pending the resolution of the request by
CDOT to modify the Beaverdam Creek Mitigation Project.
The Beaverdam Creek Project was constructed by NCDMS (formerly NCEEP) in 2006
and transferred to long-term management following closeout in 2013. The project has
had several easement modifications since closeout, primarily due to infrastructure
projects (sewer & gas utilities), with the majority of the modification occurring near the
downstream end of the site (in the vicinity of Dixie River Road).
The request to modify the easement was discussed during the NCIRT meeting in
August 2022, which resulted in additional information requests by the NCIRT,
particularly regarding alternative routes for Garrison Road, and efforts to avoid and
minimize impacts to the mitigation site. The City provided additional information, and
the proposal was discussed again during the NCIRT meeting in December 2022. The
information provided for the December meeting is attached. The minutes from the
December meeting are also provided below, along with additional comments received
from NCIRT members following the meeting.
Following a review of the supplemental information submitted by the City, consideration
of the discussion at the August and December NCIRT meetings, and a review of the
comments provided by the NCIRT, I concur that the applicant has provided sufficient
information to justify the purpose and need for the road crossing and their proposed
alignment (Route 5 of the provided alternatives) that crosses the Beaverdam Site
upstream of Dixie River Road. This determination was based on a review of the
project alternative alignments, the overall public benefit that construction of the

-z-
proposed roadway would provide, and the fact that the proposed road alignment was
planned prior to the institution of the mitigation project and recordation of the easement.
While I concur that the applicant has provided sufficient justification for the proposed
road alignment and need for the crossing, additional information is required to
determine the extent of impacts to the mitigation site. The City has stated that the final
plans, including minimization efforts and exact impact amounts (area and length of
stream loss, and area loss within the conservation easement), have not been
completed; therefore, it is not possible to determine the full extent of the impact to the
Beaverdam Mitigation Project easement or stream.
Once accurate impact amounts and plans are available, the City must also provide a
plan to compensate for the full extent of impacts to the mitigation project and the
associated credit, which may include indirect impacts such as increased habitat
fragmentation or degradation of stream condition/function resulting from road
construction through the mitigation site. Actions to compensate for lost area within the
easement and lost stream function (and associated credit) could include the inclusion
and protection of additional land and stream channel adjacent to the project or the
purchase of replacement credits from NCDMS. This information must be submitted
prior to any final concurrence or approval to modify the easement.
Any approval to modify the easement is separate from any 404/401 authorization (and
associated mitigation) that may be necessary prior to impacting streams and/or
wetlands for construction of Garrison Road.
Minutes from NCIRT Meeting (12/13/22):
1. CDOT Garrison Road Extension Project, Mecklenburg County —Proposed to
impact Beaverdam Creek Mitigation site (Project # D05016). Jennifer
Robertson -Atlas Environmental, Erin Pratt-CDOT, McCraney Property Company.
Previously proposed the extension of Garrison Road, which would impact
Beaverdam Creek Mitigation site, at the August 2022 IRT meeting. The Garrison
Road extension is proposed to intersect Dixie River Road south of Berewick
Elementary School and will support River District growth. This will be a CDOT
road once constructed, which includes a 120' wide public right-of-way plus a
pedestrian pathway. The IRT requested they submit alternatives or details of
avoidance and revised impact estimates.
The City of Charlotte is presenting 7 alternative routes and one no -build
alternative (Route 5 identified as preferred). Garrison Road extension proposed
to promote growth in the area to accommodate increase in traffic volumes as part
of the Westside Strategic Plan (2000) for the River District area. Existing
thoroughfare surrounding River District will not be able to handle projected traffic.
City of Charlotte is limited to funding streets only within city limits which includes
Dixie River Road improvement. No -Build alternative limits vehicular connectivity

-3-
between River District and Steele Creek and will result in congestion and 1-485
would need to be widened. Current River District constraints include: the
Catawba River (located west of River District), Beaverdam Creek (located within
River District), NS Railroad (north), 1-48 (east), and Dixie River Road.
2040 Comprehensive Plans/Maps do not include conservation easements and
are typically identified once other plans are developed. IRT would recommend
considering conservation easement location for future transportation projects and
addressing these issues prior to development of transportation plan approval.
City of Charlotte states that the Westside Strategic plan (2000) and Dixie
Berryhill Strat Plan (2003) was in place prior to the establishment of the
conservation easement but understand the need to identify conservation
easement locations for future planning efforts. City of Charlotte will provide PDF
documents of the presentations- these will be distributed to the IRT.
Alternatives Analysis included 7 build alternatives and one no -build. Build
alternatives are aligned to present the least damaging route, route design is
similar for all routes in the analysis, construction design may differ to address
route and site variation/cost, and construction changes would not create
additional impacts to include installation of stormwater ponds.
Majority of the breaks in the easement since construction have occurred north of
Dixie River Road. The plans provided in the documentation submitted to IRT for
review included Version 2, but the City is currently working on a Version 3.
Version 3 aims to reduce size and length of impact to the CE, reduce the size
and length of stream impacts, moving the greenway out of the CE, and aligning
the greenway culvert with the stream.

For Alternative 5, the City believes if the Garrison Road project is approved the
existing Dixie River Road will not require improvements at least through 2050.
With the option to widen Garrison Road to 4-lanes, this will likely occur before
any improvements to Dixie River Road. Additionally, they do not anticipate any

M
changes or relocations to utility corridors that could potentially impact other
sections of the conservation easement (existing powerline, waterline, and sewer
line (sewer line approved by IRT in 2021)) and that any proposed changes could
be addressed within the Garrison Road footprint. Any utilities that are constructed
would likely be in the footprint of Garrison Road disturbance. However, given
unanticipated future development and NCDOT priorities, it is possible that these
could occur.
Stormwater pond on the Route 5 (preferred option)- is there a mechanism that
the stormwater would connect to the stream? Comments received from the
NWP14 permit request required the road to have stormwater treatment. The
current road includes ditches on both sides of the road that collect the runoff in
the channels and routes it to stormwater inlets within the ditches that are being
piped to the stormwater pond. The pond has a control structure and outlet pipe
that discharges back into the stream. The engineers compared the pre- and post -
development discharge analysis of the channel to assess the effect to the
receiving stream. Designed for 100-year storm to keep runoff below pre -
development discharge. Engineer treats the 1" runoff with a drawdown of 72
hours to address water quality and detention.
The alignment of the greenway will be located outside the easement and will not
impact any other sections of the CE. The location and design of this feature has
not been decided therefore, the location of this feature is not yet included in the
plans. The greenway would result in a 29-foot retaining wall to build 4 lanes and
the pedestrian crossing. The final (Version 3) will include a cross section,
inlet/outlets, and the pedestrian crossing. The Garrison Road crossing Version 3
will incorporate all utilities within the footprint (between the retaining walls),
inlet/outlet structures, bike and pedestrian paths, allow the potential 4 lane
expansion, and eliminate the need for the rip -rap rock bank stabilizations. Stream
impact would be approx. 230 LF and CE impact area reduced to under an acre
for Version 3. No guarantee that Dixie River Road won't be expanded, and no
guarantee that the future needs of the utilities will not change.
If Dixie River Road were widened, it is located outside of city limits but would be
located in the ETJ. Subdivisions located on both sides of the road and is a
constraint with the widening of the road; these 2 subdivisions will never be part of
the city limits because all residents of the area would have to agree to annex.
Permits have been submitted to USACE and DWR (404/401) and most permit
comments have been resolved. If the preferred route were approved,

-5-
would areas of development of parcels adjacent to the Garrison Road corridor
impact the CE? The City is not aware of any potential impacts due to
infrastructure from the development of the adjacent parcels, and there will be no
need for the development to be near the CE. The developers of the adjacent
parcels own the lower section of Main Beaver Creek (west) and could be added
as part of the CE. During rezoning the developer had to agree to give
Mecklenburg County an easement for a greenway, which is what is being
considered for the additional section of the CE. The City still needs to work out
the potential to add this area to the CE. Road corridor runs east to west is the
future Catawba Crossing but isn't located in the CE. May need to add retaining
walls when Catawba Crossing is constructed.
Cost estimates generated for alternatives were not conducted for alternative
routes.
Additionally, IRT would like to clarify a statement made in the submittal, and that
easement breaks do affect the functional uplift potential of a project.
Next steps: Agree to purpose and need of the project and which proposed
alignment is best suited. IRT will decide on proposed crossing and alternative
that is presented and will contact the City with the decision.
Project is fully debited, so once the above has been decided, future discussions
will need to include credit replacement, addition of a CE, and finalizing impacts to
the CE and the stream (to be presented in Version 3). City will determine what
the final impacts will be and submit a final version (Version 3).
NCIRT Comments:
Erin Davis, NCDWR (1/3/23):
1. As previously requested by the IRT, the City of Charlotte presented a project
alternative analysis and submitted corresponding summary comparison
documentation for the Garrison Road Extension and Beaverdam Creek
Conservation Easement Encroachment Request at the December NCIRT
meeting. DWR appreciated the effort made by the City to respond to IRT
comments and concerns from the August NCIRT meeting. While the alternative
analysis may not have been an exact `like for like' comparison given the
significant work done to reduce the impacts of the preferred alternative, DWR
believes a good faith effort was completed and that the additional information
provided more context for the proposed purpose and need. We have no
additional questions regarding the alternative analysis. However, in order for

W
DWR to progress in our review of the proposed encroachment request, we will
need a detailed proposal submitted including a summary of proposed impacts to
Beaverdam creek, the site easement and debited credits, and a mitigation plan
which addresses the functional/credit loss resulting from the proposed
encroachment. DWR remains concerned about the adverse impact of site
fragmentation and the cumulative effect that past, proposed and potential future
encroachments pose on the long-term success of the mitigation site, meant to be
protected in perpetuity.

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 10/19/2021. 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 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 [phone] 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). If you have any questions

1. 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 AID 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 AJD or
a PJD, the JD will be processed as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, 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 "may be" 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:

Dear Jennifer Robertson:
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has reviewed the information provided in your
email correspondence sent by email on November 14, 2021 wherein you solicit our comments
regarding project -mediated impacts to federally protected species. We submit the following
comments in accordance with the provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, as
amended (16 U.S.C. 661-667e); 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).
Project Description
Based on the information provided, the proposed project would entail the construction of City of
Charlotte Transportation Project on approximately 3.9 forested acres which would require
authorization from the Army Corps of Engineers for unavoidable impacts to jurisdictional
Waters of the United States. A preliminary design plan has not been prepared and/or submitted
at this time.
Federally Listed Endangered and Threatened Species
According to Service records, suitable summer roosting habitat may be present in the action area
(50CFR 402.02) for the federally threatened northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis).
However, the final 4(d) rule, (effective as of February 16, 2016) exempts incidental take of
northern long-eared bat associated with activities that occur greater than 0.25 miles from a
known hibernation site, and greater than 150 feet from a known, occupied maternity roost during
the pup season (June I — July 31). Based on the information provided, the project would occur at
a location where any incidental take that may result from associated activities is exempt under
the 4(d) rule for this species. Although not required, we encourage the Applicant to avoid any
associated tree clearing activities during this animal's maternity roosting season from May 15 —
August 15.
The information provided suggests that suitable habitat is present within the action area for the
federally endangered Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii) and Michaux's sumac
(Rhus michauxii). Your correspondence indicates that a field assessment for suitable habitat was

conducted October 18, 2021. Provided that targeted botanical surveys for listed plant species
were conducted during the appropriate timeframe (late August - October), and did not detect
evidence for these species at that time, we would concur with a "may affect, not likely to
adversely affect" determination from the appropriate action agency for these species. Botanical
survey results are valid for two years for the purposes of consultation under the Act:
https://www.fws. gov/asheville/pdfs/Optimal%20Survey%20Windows%20for%20listed%20plant
s%202020.pdf
We agree that suitable habitat is not present within the action area for the federally endangered
Carolina heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorates). Your correspondence also indicates that no Carolina
heelsplitters were observed during your evaluation suggesting that a survey was conducted.
Please describe the methods used for this survey and identify the surveyors. We remind you that
a Section 10(a)(1)(A) collection permit is required to survey for this animal. If surveys were not
conducted for this animal, then negative survey results should not be used to inform a prudent
effect determination from the action agency.
In accordance with the Act, it is the responsibility of the appropriate federal action agency or its
designated representative to review its activities or programs and to identify any such activities
or programs that may affect endangered or threatened species or their habitats. If it is
determined that the proposed activity may adversely affect any species federally listed as
endangered or threatened, formal consultation with this office must be initiated.
The Service appreciates the opportunity to provide these comments. Please contact Mr. Byron
Hamstead of our staff at [e-mail] if you have any questions. In any future
correspondence concerning this project, please reference our Log Number 4-2-22-439.

RE: Geophysical Letter Report I Project # 220473
Dixie Rivers Rd Seismic Investigation
Charlotte, NC
On behalf of Bunnell Lammons Engineering (client) Collier Geophysics (Collier) conducted a
Seismic Refraction Tomography (SRT) geophysical investigation across a creek bed near
Charlotte, North Carolina. The project was located just North of Dixie River Rd and West of
Berewick Park in Charlotte, North Carolina, in accordance with the Scope of Work outlined in
Collier Proposal 22-452. The purpose of this investigation was to identify depth to competent
bedrock across the creek bed with two parallel profiles intersecting proposed borings on either
side of the creek.
The survey was performed in one mobilization. Collier geophysicists Emily Moren and Zachary
Wilson conducted the field survey across the creek bed intersecting proposed boring locations
between September 20th and September 21 st, 2022. The following report presents the results of
the geophysical investigation and summarizes the site conditions, data acquisition, processing,
and interpretation procedures.
Site Description
Site conditions were sunny and clear or partly cloudy skies, with cool mild temperatures. The
terrain varied in topography with brush and trees progressing across a channel occupied by a
stream and then uphill towards loose and exposed rocks. The geology across the site consists of
granite and metamorphosed granite bedrock. Several rock outcrops and boulders were identified
along the northern portion of the site. There are 4 proposed borings at the site, B-11 and B-15 are
to the north of the creek and B-16 and B-17 are to the south. At the time of the geophysical survey
B-11 and B-15 were completed, however, B-16 and B-17 were still proposed borings. Along the
two proposed lines, the field staff used careful navigation to minimize risks such as slips, trips and

falls across the sloped terrain and the creek. Staff were able to cross a shallow portion of the
creek safely along Line 2. See Figure 1 below for examples of site conditions encountered.

Figure 1. Site conditions at time of investigation in September 2022.
Data Acquisition
SRT data was collected along two parallel profiles running from north to south across the site
(Figure A-1). Data were recorded on Geometrics Geode 24-channel seismographs controlled by
a laptop computer. Each seismic line consisted of 24, 4.5 Hertz geophones, spaced 10 feet apart.
A 16-pound sledgehammer striking a high -density polyethylene strike plate was used as the active
seismic source. Shot points were spaced 30 feet along each line starting with a 30-foot off end
shot before the first geophone. Each shot point consisted of 6-8 stacks, or hammer strikes, to
maximize the quality of the data and to reduce noise. To ensure that the full 460-foot proposed
profiles were covered, the roll -along method was used to generate a continuous seismic profile
using multiple setups. Once the last shot point is recorded along the 230-foot profile the seismic
line is moved so that the 1st geophone is placed at the previous location of the 24th geophone.
The previous 3 shot points are then repeated as off -end shots before continuing along the profile
as before. Line 1 intersected B-11 in the North and B-16 in the South of the profile. Line 2
Intersected B-15 in the North and B-17 in the South. The horizontal position of both profiles was
recorded using RTK GPS. The elevation of each profile was determined using 1-meter Digital
Elevation Models (DEM) provided by the North Carolina Department of Emergency Management.

Seismic Refraction Tomography
The Seismic Refraction Tomography (SRT) method is used to measure the compressional -wave
(P-wave) velocity (Vp) distribution of the subsurface to evaluate the structure of overburden soils
and bedrock. Seismic energy traveling within the ground (body waves) will refract at velocity
boundaries and seek a higher velocity path if velocities increase with depth. These interfaces
and pathways where seismic waves refract correlate with real physical boundaries in the ground,
such as geo-mechanical boundaries, and velocity gradients are often observed in soils due to
overburden loading and compaction effects. Velocity gradients are also observed at weathered
bedrock to competent bedrock transitions. The SRT method records the arrival times of refracted
waves returning to the ground surface at geophones as they travel away from a seismic source.
These refracted -wave arrival times are then used to computationally determine (using the process
of geophysical inversion) both lateral and vertical changes in compressional -wave velocity field
(related to low strain bulk modulus) beneath a survey area.
Data Processing
Seismic Refraction Tomography
The 2D refraction data from this investigation were processed using Rayfract®, version 3.36, by
Intelligent Resources Inc. The two processing steps involved with SRT processing are first arrival
picking and tomographic inversion. The first arrival picking step consists of picking the time on
each signal trace where the first arrival energy from the seismic source is observed at each
geophone position for each shot record (Figure 4). After picking is completed, a data inversion is
performed generating a two-dimensional (2D) P-wave velocity (Vp) model that best fits the arrival
picks by iteratively modifying an initial velocity grid model until the misfit between the modeled
and measured travel -time values is minimized, subject to smoothing constraints.

Results and Discussion
Figures A-1 show the results from the SRT survey. Limited boring data was available to constrain
the geophysical model. Additional boring data would allow for the creation of a more accurate
model.
Seismic Refraction Tomography Results
The inverted SRT model for Line 1 and Line 2 resolved data between 50 and 100 feet below
ground surface. Seismic P-wave velocity interpretations were based on generic Vp ranges of
granite rock and boring data. Partially weathered rock (PWR) is expected to have a velocity of
6,000 feet per second and unweathered rock (UWR) is expected to have a velocity of 9,000 feet
per second. At Line 1, PWR is interpreted to be between 0 and 50 feet below ground surface and
UWR is interpreted to be between 0 and 65 feet below ground surface. UWR is shallowest
beneath the creek bed. PWR at Line 2 is between 10 and 25 feet below ground surface. UWR at
Line 2 is between 15 to 50 feet below ground surface.
Closure
The methods of data acquisition and interpretation for this project are complete as is reasonably
possible, and have been successfully applied by Collier geophysicists to investigations of similar
size and nature. We believe the results presented herein to be a reasonable preliminary
representation of the subsurface conditions without the borehole information for these lines.
However, due to the subjective nature of any type of interpretation, we cannot guarantee that our
results are accurate in all areas. In addition, all subsurface features present at the site may not
have been detected or identified. We suggest that key features identified by this survey be

Subject: Return of Application for 401 Water Quality Certification, RIMS No. 20220317
Garrison Road Extension, Mecklenburg County
Garrison Road Extension [Catawba River Basin, Mountain Island Lake -Catawba River
sub basin, 11-126-1, Class C]
Dear Mr. McCraney:
The Division of Water Resources (DWR) has reviewed your submittal for a 401 Water Quality Certification for the
aforementioned project and found it lacking. Initial PCN submittal was received on March 1, 2022 and a request for
additional information was sent April 12, 2022. A site visit was performed with interested parties on April 25, 2022
to address inadequate information presented in the PCN. The meeting produced a lengthy list of requirements that
could not be completed during the 30 day time line.
Therefore, pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0507(a)(3), we are denying the permit application. Furthermore, until the
information is received by the NC Division of Water Resources, we request (by copy of this letter) that the US Army
Corps of Engineers place the permit application on hold. When preparing for resubmittal please address the
following areas listed in the additional information request:
■ This project proposes another impact to a stream reserved as mitigation source for other stream impacts
in the area by NC DEQ Mitigation. At the time of PCN submittal, no impacts have been approved to this
stream or associated buffers, which are in one of the parcels owned by the applicant and slated for
industrial development, nor has the request appeared or is scheduled to appear in front of the
Interagency Review Team (IRT), which is required.
• McCraney Property Company, applicant, is not listed with the Secretary of State in North Carolina to do
business in the State of North Carolina. Please submit an application where the applicant business is
registered to do business in the State of North Carolina. Garrison Road Holding, LLC is properly
registered but was not used as the applicant.
■ Provide documentation for why a bridge is not a feasible alternative
• Culvert design of 5 barrels does not mimic natural stream flow with more potential to degrade stream. A
larger culvert box design with fewer barrels should be instituted.

Alternatives Analysis
The City of Charlotte has proposed eight (8) alternatives routes for the Garrison Road
Extension, including seven (7) build alternatives and one (1) no -build alternative. Any
alignment ultimately must be within the jurisdiction of the City of Charlotte. This
means that private property would have to be voluntarily annexed or otherwise
transferred to City of Charlotte jurisdiction before construction begins. Not all
proposed alignments are currently within the jurisdiction of the City of Charlotte.
Several routes extend into the Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). The ETJ is an area
that is outside of Charlotte city limits but subject to Charlotte zoning and building
regulations. North Carolina state law allows cities to establish ETJ areas to regulate
development and plan more effectively for infrastructure, such as water and sewer.
The seven (7) build alternatives are each individually aligned to present the least
damaging route within its greater route corridor. The design criteria are similar across
all routes for comparative analysis, but the construction design for an individual route
may differ from that which is presented to address individual route and site variations
and cost-efficient strategies to build. However, the construction design changes would
not create additional impacts to the sensitive factors analyzed in the alternatives
analysis matrix. Similarly, stormwater management will be addressed for each route but
will not include additional impacts to wetlands, streams, floodplains, historic and cultural
resources, or any Conservation Easement.
Several alternative routes make use of the unimproved, 2-lane, portion of the existing
Dixie River Road as the north -south transportation corridor. Because these alternative
routes connect to the 2-lane portion of Dixie River Road, they do not achieve the goal of
additional vehicular capacity and as such, presume that improvements of Dixie River
Road at the crossing of Beaverdam Creek, at a minimum, will be required to address
the increased traffic. The alternatives include impacts to the streams, wetlands,
floodplain, and Conservation Easement in this area in addition to other potential impacts
of the route alignment.
No -build Alternative
The no -build alternative does not assume no impacts. The no -build alternative
presumes existing and future conditions are present and expected. This means current
permitted, entitled, planned, and future development in the River District Area will occur,
and vehicle use of existing roadways will increase as anticipated. This also presumes
that modifications to existing roadways may occur much sooner than planned to
address these conditions.
The River District Area has approved development that will bring almost 129,000
vehicle trips per day, with more on the way. The mobility network is currently limited to
5 miles of 2-lane rural road to move that traffic into, out of, and through the area. The
constraints of the Catawba River to the west and 1-485 to the east, and Norfolk -
Southern Rail to the north limit the potential for future street network, effectively

restricting ways in and out of the River District Area to the 1-485 interchange at West
Boulevard or south into the Steele Creek Area.
The Steele Creek Area is adjacent to the River District Area. The two activity centers
(Steel Creek and River District) will have natural synergy, sharing employment, housing,
education, goods, and services opportunities. It is important for the two areas to be well
connected via all travel modes - car, transit, cycling, and walking. Without the extension
of Garrison Road, there will be no connection for cyclists or pedestrians, and very
limited capacity for cars.
Without the Garrison Road Extension, there is no safe way for cyclists and pedestrians
to travel from the Dixie River Road area into the Steele Creek Area. With the Garrison
Road Extension connection to improved Dixie River Road, pedestrians and cyclists will
have dedicated facilities along Garrison Road Extension and into the heart of the Steele
Creek Area (includes NCDOT funded improvements on NC 160), providing access to
parks, schools, employment, and shopping for over five miles.
Without the Garrison Road Extension, the River District Area will become extremely
congested until NCDOT can program improvements to Dixie River Road; currently
projected beyond 2050. The proposed Garrison Road Extension doubles the vehicular
capacity for cars traveling between the activity centers from a maximum of 20,000 cars
a day to 40,000 cars a day (assumes industry maximum capacity of 10,000 cars per
travel lane). The Garrison Road Extension proposes building two (2) travel lanes but is
reserving space for an additional two (2) travel lanes for the future, preserving capacity
for an additional 20,000 cars per day when needed. Garrison Road Extension
increases the vehicular capacity between the River District Area and the Steele Creek
Area and extends the life of existing Dixie River Road well into the future.
Without the Garrison Road Extension, most River District Area traffic will be forced to
use 1-485 as a local connection to the Steele Creek Area. 1-485 is already congested at
the Steele Creek Area interchanges (NC 160 and NC 49) with travel times exceeding
2.5 times normal travel time during peak hours. The surface streets at the
interchanges, NC 160 and NC 49, are also congested making it difficult existing off of
and onto 1-485. Without a Garrison Road connection, 1-485 will ultimately need to be
widened to manage the traffic using the short connection between the West Boulevard
interchange and Steele Creek Area. This would be a highly impactful and expensive
project. The interchanges and associated street network would also need to be further
expanded to absorb the local traffic pressure from the River District Area.
Below are the individual alternatives, a description of their location and route alignment,
and advantages and disadvantages of each. An alternative analysis matrix of important
and factors is included in Table 3 on page 17. The Least Environmentally Damaging
Practicable Alternative analysis is included in Table 4 on page 18. Map 4 on page 22
and map 5 on page 23 include an overview of alternative routes without and with

VIRONMENTAL
Crossing Alternatives
The City of Charlotte evaluated alternatives to determine the best crossing to
accommodate the proposed extension of Garrison Road and the Beaverdam Creek
tributary. The following crossings were evaluated:
Crossing Alternative 1: Bottomless Culvert
A bottomless culvert was evaluated for the Beaverdam Creek tributary crossing. A
bottomless culvert protects the stream's flow pattern and historically is an economical
and environmentally alternative to a traditional culvert. This alternative would have
required a release of the conservation easement. The structure is supported on
footings that are required to be keyed into bedrock. Due to the footings, scour is always
going to be a concern for bottomless culverts. Over time the flowing water can
compromise the backfill material resulting in damaging the structure and the stream
bed. Due to these risks, the City of Charlotte identified this alternative as a non -viable
option and did not move forward with this alternative.
A bottomless culvert (precast arched) was found to be impractical for several reasons,
including the need for additional scour protection, deep footing preparation with sheet
piles to hold back stream banks, additional construction days (with open excavation
exposure), increased start and stop time between deep foundation, pile cap, and culvert
installation, and added costs. A bottomless culvert will take at least 23 additional days
to construct and cost at least $706,000 more than the three box culverts. These 23
additional days include days of excavation exposure.
Furthermore, bedrock was estimated using Seismic Refraction Tomography at depths
as much as 65 feet below ground surface in the general area of the road crossing.
These depths are impracticable to safely secure the footings of a bottomless culvert.
NCDOT design criteria for bottomless culverts require footings keyed at least 12 inches
into non-scourable rock. To meet such design standards, footings would need to be at
a minimum one foot longer than the distance to unweathered rock. As a result, the
proposed stream crossing will include three box culverts (36' x 6', 12' x 8', and 12' x 6')
with the bottoms positioned below the stream bed (center culvert) and existing ground
level (outer culverts) to ensure the culverts are not an impediment to hydrology or the
aquatic system. A retaining wall will be used to reduce the amount of culvert length and
limit the amount of grading required nearer the stream.
Crossing Alternative 2: Bridge
The second crossing alternative evaluated for Beaverdam Creek tributary was a bridge.
The bridge alternative would also not directly impact the stream; however, it will impact
the conservation easement. A bridge at this location would need to be 120 feet wide,
400 feet long, and range in height from 25-30 feet high. The width of the bridge would
accommodate the future typical section for four lanes and the length of the bridge would
need to be set to accommodate the vertical profile of the road to meet industry vertical
design standards. This alternative would have required a release of the conservation

VIRONMENTAL
easement. The construction cost for the bridge and roadway is estimated at $25 to $30
million. The installation timeline is approximately 44 weeks.
Crossing Alternative 3: Box Culvert
Two types of box culverts were evaluated for the Beaverdam Creek tributary, a 5-box
culvert and a 3-box culvert. Both culvert options require a release of the conservation
easement, and both will require impacting the stream.
The 5-box culvert includes 5 barrels plus a pedestrian culvert. The 5-box culvert meets
the hydraulic standards; however, it does not accommodate the flow of the stream due
to the multiple barrels. NC Division of Water Resources stated during the site meeting
that a 401 water quality certification for a 5-box culvert would not be obtainable. The
risk for debris being trapped upstream of the culverts is higher. A 3-box culvert was
evaluated to reduce the amounts of openings that will help reduce the risk of debris
clogging upstream. The 3-box culvert includes 3 barrels plus a pedestrian culvert. The
construction cost for the 3-box culvert and roadway is estimated at $15 to $18 million
with an installation timeline of approximately 11 weeks.
Preferred Alternative
The City (CDOT) identified the 3-box culvert as the preferred crossing type for the
extension of Garrison Road. This culvert meets the hydraulic requirements and
provides less risk for upstream debris being trapped due to the size of the barrels. The
construction cost and installation timeline for the culvert installation is cheaper and
shorter, which will result in less time having measures in place to protect the stream
during construction. Construction will be complete, and the area will be stabilized much
quicker using a 3-box culvert.

Indirect and Cumulative Effects Analysis
NC Division of Water Resources #: 2022-0317
US Army Corps of Engineers Action ID: SAW-2022-00437
Dear Paul:
This letter provides the results of an indirect and cumulative effects analysis of impacts
related to the crossing of an unnamed tributary of Beaverdam Creek associated with the
City of Charlotte's proposed extension of Garrison Road from its existing terminus south to
provide connection with Dixie River Road (approximately 0.5 mile), located in Mecklenburg
County, North Carolina.
The indirect and cumulative effects (ICE) analysis covers the reasonably foreseeable
effects (i.e., the effect is sufficiently likely and can logically be accounted for in the
forecasting of probable effects) to the human and physical environment that may become
apparent because of the construction of the proposed roadway.
This analysis addresses two distinct types of effects: Indirect and Cumulative.
Indirect effects are defined by the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations as
those that are:
"...caused by the action (and which) are later in time or farther removed in
distance, but are still reasonably foreseeable. Indirect effects may include growth -
inducing effects and other effects related to induced changes in the pattern
of land use, population density of growth rate, and related effects in air and
water and other natural systems, including ecosystems."
Cumulative effects are defined by the CEQ regulations as:
"[An] impact on the environment which results from the incremental impact of the
action when added to other past, present and reasonably foreseeable future
actions regardless of what agency (federal or non-federal) or person undertakes
such other actions. Cumulative impacts can result from individually minor but
collectively significant actions taking place over a period of time."

Project Description and Background
The City of Charlotte proposes extending Garrison Road from its current terminus to the
existing Dixie River Road, creating a north -south multimodal transportation corridor that
adds vehicular capacity and multimodal facilities to support the mobility needs of current,
entitled, permitted, and future development within an area of Mecklenburg County dubbed
the River District Area (Figure 1). The extension of Garrison Road will connect cars,
cyclists, and pedestrians from the developing River District Area to the established Steele
Creek Area at a location along Dixie River Road that has been widened for four travel
lanes, bike lanes, and a sidewalk. The extension of Garrison Road is a reaction to current
traffic and mobility needs within the River District Area.
The City of Charlotte is applying for a US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Nationwide
Permit 14 for the road crossing. The City of Charlotte also has been coordinating approval
for crossing the Beaverdam Creek Stream Restoration Conservation Easement (USACE
Action ID # SAW-2006-30735).
Scope and Purpose
This analysis evaluates and describes the indirect and cumulative effects that could
potentially result from extending Garrison Road from its existing terminus south to provide
connection with Dixie River Road (approximately 0.5 miles). The road construction will
include a single stream crossing within the riparian corridor of an unnamed tributary of
Beaverdam Creek and the associated Beaverdam Creek Conservation Easement. The
focus of the analysis is on the impacts of the roadway on downstream water quality
standards and designated uses.

River District Area
The River District Area includes portions of Mecklenburg County and the City of Charlotte
jurisdictional areas between 1-485 and the Catawba River in western Mecklenburg County
(Figure 2). The vision for the River District Area evolved over 30 years through a series of
area planning processes led by a team of agencies dedicated to the growth and mobility of
Charlotte -Mecklenburg and the region. The resulting plans set forth the growth vision for
the River District Area and the thoroughfare network to support that vision (Table 2).

Land Use and Mobility Vision
The Dixie Berryhill Strategic Plan established a future land use and mobility vision for the
River District Area to be high density retail, office, and residential. The 2040 Charlotte
Comprehensive Plan further refined the vision for this area as a Regional Activity Center,
Manufacturing and Logistics, and middle density residential. Per City of Charlotte policy,
the accompanying mobility network within the area should be well connected with small
blocks, and arterials should provide for the same and comfortable travel for all modes —
cars, transit, walking, and cycling (Figure 3).
Extraterritorial Jurisdiction
The Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) is an area that is outside of the City of Charlotte's city
limits but is subject to Charlotte zoning and building regulations. North Carolina state law
allows cities to establish ETJ areas to regulate development and plan more effectively for
infrastructure, such as water and sewer.

2007. The restoration plan (2006) was later revised to include 13,203 linear feet of
restoration / enhancement and 2,603 linear feet of preservation of stream channel (total
15,806 linear feet) with a summation of 13,534 mitigation credits. The entirety of mitigation
credits was used for impacts associated with the construction of 1-485 by North Carolina
Department of Transportation (NCDOT). Upon completion, the restoration project was
converted to the Beaverdam Creek Stream Restoration Conservation Easement (hereafter
referred to as Conservation Easement; US Army Corps of Engineers Action ID # SAW-
2006-30735). The proposed extension of Garrison Road crosses an unnamed tributary of
Beaverdam Creek within the Conservation Easement near the southwest portion of
Berewick Park (Figures 4a and 4b).
Utilitv Line Construction and Easements
There have been two separations to the Conservation Easement at Beaverdam Creek or
its unnamed tributary North of Dixie River Road for the construction of utility line projects
since the completion of the Beaverdam Creek Stream Restoration project in 2007. The
first location includes the sewer line for Berewick Elementary School (2009) and an
overhead Duke Energy powerline (2014) which total 58 linear feet, a Piedmont Natural
Gas line (-20 linear feet; 2021), and a Charlotte Water waterline (-34 linear feet; 2023)
which total 54 linear feet. The second location includes a Charlotte Water sewer line (-20
linear feet; 2021), and is near the proposed Garrison Road crossing. All separations and
stream crossings from utility line installation have occurred downstream of the proposed
crossing of Garrison Road, and at or above Dixie River Road. The utility line crossings of
Beaverdam Creek or its unnamed tributary have had no known indirect or cumulative
impacts to the streams systems they intersect or downstream of the crossings. They have
largely served preexisting or planned development in the area. The proposed crossing of
the unnamed tributary of Beaverdam Creek for the extension of Garrison Road will occur
at the approximate location of the Charlotte Water sewer line crossing. No additional
impacts from the proposed road crossing to the unnamed tributary of Beaverdam Creek
are expected to occur beyond those discussed for the proposed crossing for Garrison
Road.
Greenway
A greenway has been proposed along the unnamed tributary of Beaverdam Creek and the
existing Conservation Easement. The proposed greenway will serve the existing Berewick
Park. A 12' x 10' box culvert will be used as a pedestrian tunnel under the road crossing.
The greenway will connect to the pedestrian box culvert at its elevation. The location and
design of the greenway itself has not been decided and is not included in the any plans
provided. According to Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation, the greenway is
unfunded and undesigned and simply exists as a line/corridor on the map. Nevertheless,
the culvert and greenway will be constructed in a manner consistent with Mecklenburg
County Park and Recreation design specifications. No portion of the greenway or the
pedestrian box culvert will be constructed to cross the unnamed tributary of Beaverdam
Creek (unless by a bridge) or will occur within the existing Conservation Easement. The
proposed greenway associated with the road crossing for the extension of Garrison Road

is not expected to have an indirect or cumulative impact on the unnamed tributary of
Beaverdam Creek.
Development of Industrial Park
The proposed industrial park along Garrison Road near its terminus is in an area suitable
for industrial development due to the existing development already present in the vicinity
as well as its proximity to highways and interstates. The proposed industrial use of the
property also is consistent with the City of Charlotte's adopted land use plans. The
planned industrial park is being constructed with features and flexibility to attract a wide
array of tenants that are interested in occupying this product type in this location.
Business activities among these tenants may include freight forwarding, third party
logistics, food/beverage distribution, light assembly/manufacturing, and wholesalers.
Businesses that benefit from logistical efficiencies associated with proximity to population
centers, intermodal hubs, and interstate highways will be especially interested in this
development due to its location to the Charlotte urban core, Interstates 85, 77, and 485,
Charlotte Intermodal, and Charlotte Douglas International Airport.
The proposed development will increase the number of commercial vehicles using
Garrison Road, and the expansion of Garrison Road will allow those vehicles to move
north and south toward other transportation corridors in the vicinity. However, the
proposed industrial park is not expected to have an indirect or cumulative impact on the
unnamed tributary of Beaverdam Creek because of buffers on the property and sufficient
stormwater control measures. This industrial park has received USACE 404 and NC DWR
401 approvals for waters impacts. These approvals were conditioned to ensure the
continued existence of downstream water quality standards.
Identification of Effect -Causing Activities
Active and Pending Development
The River District Area consists of approximately 4,000 acres. Of that area, 2,100 acres
have been entitled for development (meaning that Charlotte City Council and Mecklenburg
County Commission have approved zoning and land uses for specific parcels/groupings of
parcels), are in some phase of permitting, in construction, or already developed. This area
includes the planned River District mixed -use residential and commercial development
community and the Garrison Road industrial park within the River District Area.
The anticipated vehicular trips associated with the 2,100 acres of development is 128,850
vehicles per day. For perspective, this is equivalent to the number of vehicles that drive on
1-77 in south Charlotte each day, and more than the number of vehicles traveling 1-40
south of Raleigh, between US 1 and 1-495. The City of Charlotte can't say how many
vehicular trips will be in the River District Area when it is fully built out, but with nearly half
the land mass still available for development it will be well above the estimated 128,850
trips per day for the currently permitted development.

The Steele Creek Area is adjacent to and south of the River District Area. The Steele
Creek Area is highly occupied with residential and commercial development. The two
activity centers (Steel Creek and River District) will have natural synergy, sharing
employment, housing, education, goods, and services opportunities. It is important for the
two areas to be well connected via all travel modes - car, transit, cycling, and walking.
Without the extension of Garrison Road, there will be no connection for cyclists or
pedestrians, and very limited capacity for cars.
Existing Transportation Network
The River District Area has two 2-lane rural arterials — Dixie River Road and Garrison
Road. Dixie River Road extends from Wallace Neal Road near the Airport through the
western portion of the River District Area to the Steele Creek Area. Garrison Road
currently extends from the 1-485/West Boulevard interchange south to its terminus. The
Catawba River to the west, 1-485 to the east, and Norfolk -Southern Rail to the north are all
constraints that limit the potential for future street network, effectively restricting ways in
and out of the River District Area to the 1-485 interchange at West Boulevard and Dixie
River Road into the Steele Creek Area.
Pending Thoroughfare Improvements
The thoroughfare network moves large volumes of people between home and work and to
all their other needs. For this reason, the public is responsible for planning, funding, and
implementing new thoroughfares, thoroughfare extensions, and improvements to
thoroughfares. In North Carolina, NCDOT and cities have the authority and responsibility
to fund roadway projects. Both agencies have the authority to form public -private
partnerships (P3) to advance much needed infrastructure improvements that have been
identified through a public planning process and prioritized.
The NCDOT and the City of Charlotte fund thoroughfare projects within the city limits. The
City of Charlotte funds street improvements with bond dollars approved by the voters (who
pay taxes within the city limits). As such, the City of Charlotte is limited to funding street
improvements only within the city limits. Any street improvements outside of the city limits
are funded by NCDOT. The majority of the River District Area is outside of the city limits.
The NCDOT's State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) is based on tiers of
funding and statewide need. Locally, any project that would be nominated for funding in
the STIP would have to be in the MPO's Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP), which
currently defines STIP candidates through 2050. Any project not in the 2050 MTP is not
expected to be constructed prior to 2050.
The City of Charlotte holds transportation bond referendums every two years. Bond
dollars were approved for streets within the River District Area boundary in 2014. Those
dollars are being used for the West Boulevard Extension project and the Garrison Road
Extension project. Both projects are P3s (public -private partnerships). In the case of the
extension of Garrison Road, the private property owner that holds some of the acreage

Alternatives Analysis of Proposed Activity
Alternatives
The City of Charlotte initially evaluated eight (8) alternatives routes for the extension of
Garrison Road, including seven (7) build alternatives and one (1) no -build alternative
(Figures 5a and 5b). One standard of the analysis was that the alignment ultimately must
be within the jurisdiction of the City of Charlotte. This means that private property would
have to be voluntarily annexed or otherwise transferred to City of Charlotte jurisdiction
before construction begins. Some of the alignments were not within the jurisdiction of the
City of Charlotte, and several routes extended into the EJT.
The seven (7) build alternatives were each individually aligned to present the least
damaging route within its greater route corridor. The design criteria were similar across all
routes for comparative analysis, but the construction design for an individual route might
differ to address individual route and site variations and cost-efficient strategies to build.
However, construction design changes would not create additional impacts to the sensitive
factors. Similarly, stormwater management would be addressed for each route but would
not include additional impacts to wetlands, streams, floodplains, historic and cultural
resources, or any of the Conservation Easement.

Several alternative routes made use of the unimproved, 2-lane, portion of the existing Dixie
River Road as the north -south transportation corridor. Because these alternative routes
connect to the 2-lane portion of Dixie River Road, they would not achieve the goal of
additional vehicular capacity. The alternatives included impacts to the streams, wetlands,
floodplain, and Conservation Easement in the route area in addition to other potential
impacts of the route alignment.
Below are the individual alternatives considered, a description of their location and route
alignment, and advantages and disadvantages of each. An alternative analysis matrix of
important factors is included in Table 6.
Alternative 1— extends the existing Garrison Road 0.60 miles west where it intersects
Dixie River Road at the intersection of Bracebridge Court. The new roadway will run along
the northern boundary of the proposed industrial park and cross four (4) additional private
properties, including a portion of the proposed The River District mixed -use development
(the River District mixed -use development is a development within the River District Area).
The following advantages and disadvantages were identified for Alternative 1:
Advantages
• No new separation in the recorded Conservation Easement will occur.
• No historical, cultural, or biological resources of conservation importance will be
impacted.
• The new roadway will not cross the Duke Energy Transmission Line easement.
Disadvantages
• The new roadway will not be constructed within City of Charlotte limits. The City of
Charlotte will need to coordinate with five (5) additional private property owners for
voluntary annexation.
• The new roadway will not provide another north -south route as outlined in the Dixie
Berryhill Strategic Plan and will not add vehicular capacity to the River District Area.
• The existing Dixie River Road will require future widening. Dixie River Road is in the
ETJ and maintained by NCDOT.
• The Dixie River Road widening will impact the Conservation Easement at the
crossing of Dixie River Road. Impacts include:
• 148 linear feet (0.079 acres) of stream
• 522 linear feet of floodplain
• 0.049 acres of wetlands
• 60 linear feet (0.42 acres) of Conservation Easement
The new roadway will impact existing utility line corridors (power and sewer).
The new roadway will cross Beaverdam Creek and will impact:
• 280 linear feet (0.05 acres) of stream
• 398 linear feet of floodplain
The new roadway will cross four post -construction stream buffers.

Potential Impact -Causing Activities
The proposed extension of Garrison Road includes a crossing of an unnamed tributary of
Beaverdam Creek. The proposed stream crossing will include three box culverts (36' x 6',
12' x 8', and 12' x 6') with the bottoms positioned below the stream bed (center culvert)
and existing ground level (outer culverts) to ensure the culverts are not an impediment to
hydrology or the aquatic system (Figure 6). A retaining wall will be used to reduce the
amount of culvert length and limit the amount of grading required nearer the stream.
Proposed direct impacts from the crossing include 89 linear feet (0.024 acre) at the box
culverts and 25 linear feet of riprap at the inlet and 56 linear feet of riprap at the outlet
(Figure 5). While the riprap aprons are a permanent impact to the stream it is not a loss of
surface water. The continuity of ecosystem function will remain intact because direct and
indirect impacts are being minimized to the greatest extent possible.
The design team has evaluated multiple culvert crossing options over the past several
years. Version 1.0 included a five -culvert crossing that required 234 linear feet (0.05 acre)
of stream impact. The culvert alignment for this version was not well aligned with the
existing stream pattern and could have resulted in indirect downstream impacts including
bank erosion. For Version 2.0, the proposed crossing included a three -culvert design with
an additional alternate aligned culvert for a greenway pedestrian path. Version 2.0
included 1.82 acres and 450 linear feet of Conservation Easement impact. It also included
0.068 acre and 342 linear feet of stream impact. Version 3.0 was proposed to reduce
impact to the Conservation Easement. This version reduced the impacts to the
Conservation Easement to include 1.24 acres and 300 linear feet, but did not reduce the
stream impacts from Version 2.0. The proposed greenway pedestrian path was relocated
outside of the Conservation Easement. Overall stream impacts have been minimized from
a five box culvert to a three box culvert based on NC DWR comments. Stream impacts
have been reduced from 342 linear feet (0.068 acre) to 89 linear feet (0.024 acre).
Reduction of stream impacts requires additional costs for headwalls.

A stormwater basin is proposed in association with the extension of Garrison Road (Figure
7). The stormwater design includes curb and gutter on both sides of the road that collect
runoff and routes it to the stormwater basin. The basin control structure and outlet pipe will
discharge to a dissipation spillway. The stormwater basin is designed to keep runoff below
pre -development discharge conditions. The proposed road stormwater basin will not be
constructed within the stream, and the stormwater will discharge and dissipate within the
proposed industrial park property before reaching a smaller unnamed tributary within the
industrial park property before moving to another unnamed tributary of Beaverdam Creek.
No discharge will occur directly to or within Beaverdam Creek or the unnamed tributary of
Beaverdam Creek within the Conservation Easement. This stormwater basin is solely for
treatment of Garrison Road.

Indirect and Cumulative Effects Conclusion
Transportation corridors affect development in several ways. Along the corridor there are
typically increased opportunities for development and increased emissions from the
introduction of vehicles into a new area. Regionally, there may be effects upon the
location, scope, and size of new development, favoring placement near the new/improved
roadway. Transportation projects also can either generate new traffic (encouraging trips
that would not have otherwise been taken) or redistribute existing traffic along new
pathways. In either case, it is necessary to identify changes that are likely to occur in
conjunction with this project to identify the most important areas of environmental concern
and promote minimization practices for the overall benefit of the region.
Mecklenburg County continues to develop at a fast pace, with commercial and industrial
development occurring near Charlotte Douglas International Airport and the River District
Area. In the River District Area, specifically, additional roadways are needed to
accommodate the existing increase in local traffic, as well as the traffic from the increasing
planned industrial, commercial, and residential developments. The proposed roadway
project will have a direct impact on the unnamed tributary to Beaverdam Creek at the road
crossing as described above, and could have indirect impacts on associated
wetlands/waterbodies found downstream.
The proposed extension of Garrison Road would extend the existing Garrison Road
approximately 0.5 mile south where it intersects Dixie River Road just west of Berewick
Elementary School. The new roadway will bisect the proposed industrial park on Garrison
Road and Mecklenburg County Parks property. The new roadway will be constructed
entirely within City of Charlotte limits, and the City of Charlotte will not need to coordinate
with private property owners for voluntary annexation. The new roadway will provide
another north -south route as outlined in the Dixie Berryhill Strategic Plan. The existing
Dixie River Road will not require future widening by NCDOT. The location of the new
roadway will not experience construction challenges due to the change in elevation at or
near the stream crossing. No historical, cultural, or biological resources of conservation
importance will be impacted.
With the extension of Garrison Road and connection to the improved Dixie River Road,
pedestrians and cyclists will have dedicated facilities along Garrison Road and into the
heart of the Steele Creek Area, providing access to parks, schools, employment, and
shopping for more than five miles. Without the extension of Garrison Road, there is no
safe way for cyclists and pedestrians to travel from the River District Area into the Steele
Creek Area.
The proposed extension of Garrison Road doubles the vehicular capacity for cars traveling
between the activity centers from a maximum of 20,000 cars a day to 40,000 cars a day
(assumes industry maximum capacity of 10,000 cars per travel lane). The proposed
extension of Garrison Road includes two (2) travel lanes but is reserving space for an

additional two (2) travel lanes for the future, preserving capacity for an additional 20,000
cars per day when needed. The extension of Garrison Road increases the vehicular
capacity between the River District Area and the Steele Creek Area and extends the life of
existing Dixie River Road well into the future. Without the extension of Garrison Road, the
River District Area will become extremely congested until NCDOT can program
improvements to Dixie River Road; currently projected beyond 2050.
Without the extension of Garrison Road, most River District Area traffic will be forced to
use 1-485 as a local connection to the Steele Creek Area. 1-485 is already congested at
the Steele Creek Area interchanges (NC 160 and NC 49) with travel times exceeding 2.5
times normal travel time during peak hours. The surface streets at the interchanges NC
160 and NC 49 also are congested making it difficult exiting off of and onto 1-485. Without
a Garrison Road connection, 1-485 will ultimately need to be widened to manage the traffic
using the short connection between the West Boulevard interchange and Steele Creek
Area. This would be a highly impactful and expensive project. The interchanges and
associated street network would also need to be further expanded to absorb the local
traffic pressure from the River District Area.
Furthermore, a no -build alternative does not assume no impacts. The no -build alternative
presumes existing and future conditions are present and expected. This means current
permitted, entitled, planned, and future development in the River District Area would occur,
and vehicle use of existing roadways will increase as anticipated. This also presumes that
modifications to existing roadways would need to occur much sooner than planned to
address these conditions.
Indirect and Cumulative Effects Summary
The proposed extension of Garrison Road will generate new traffic along the new route,
and will redistribute existing traffic along existing pathways. These impacts will likely be
positive in that redistribution of traffic ease congestion on existing roadways not currently
designed to handle the added traffic. New traffic will likely occur at the pace currently
planned and projected, but that level of traffic is occurring and will continue to occur
without the proposed extension of Garrison Road.
The proposed industrial park on Garrison Road as well as other development in the area
will continue because much of the area has already been approved, permitted, under
construction, or already developed. There is little land left for future development in the
immediate proximity of Garrison Road. The land surrounding the proposed extension of
Garrison Road is either part of the approved industrial park or Mecklenburg County's
Berewick Park. Future development in these areas is not possible.
Additional commercial and residential development and infrastructure improvements could
have potential to cumulatively impact water quality through erosion and sedimentation,
even though there are stormwater management programs in place. However, as stated
above, there is limited availability of developable land in the immediate vicinity of Garrison

Road that is not already planned, permitted, under construction, or already developed.
Additional development at a large scale is highly unlikely. However, some growth would
occur within the greater River District Area with or without the extension of Garrison Road.
That development and any associated impacts would likely occur outside of the vicinity of
the proposed extension of Garrison Road and the unnamed tributary of Beaverdam Creek.
Nevertheless, an increase in impervious surface associated with development does not
necessarily result in an increase in siltation or pollutants. With stormwater control
measures in place, the downstream effects on water quality are minimized to a great
extent. Pollutants, including grease and oil, metals, nitrogen, and total suspended solids,
are trapped and sequestered in stormwater basins for a short period, and eventually are
trapped by bottom -settled sediments. Stormwater control measures also may offset
increases in peak stormwater flows that would otherwise result from increases in
impervious surface.
Implementing stormwater control measures for the periodical maintenance of control
structures and dredging of stormwater basins is now a requisite activity that also improves
and maintains water quality by reducing concentrations of harmful pollutants. As a result
of stormwater control measure implementation, new construction has the potential to
improve water quality.
Indirect and cumulative effects to wetlands and streams may involve changing vegetation
communities, erosion, and sediment deposition, and/or altering water regimes and water
quality. These effects may result from road construction, long-term roadway operation,
and/or induced development. Most effects anticipated would be temporary in nature.
The developer of the proposed industrial park has agreed to donate the floodplain of
Beaverdam Creek to Mecklenburg County. The additional acreage includes 0.634 acre of
wetlands and 3,355 linear feet of Beaverdam Creek and its unnamed tributaries. The
donation of the land for conservation protects the area in perpetuity and will help reduce
the potential for indirect and cumulative impacts downstream of, and in the general vicinity
of, the extended portion of Garrison Road by protecting important streams, wetlands, and
riparian systems surrounding the proposed road. The donation will add to the overall
acreage of Berewick Park. It is understood that an additional private landowner is
donating or land exchanging 12.3 acres that will extend Berewick Park South to Dixie River
Road. This 12.3 acre parcel includes additional reaches of Beaverdam Creek, the
unnamed tributary to Beaverdam Creek, and floodplain wetlands.
Furthermore, the City of Charlotte proposes to mitigate for the permanent stream impacts
from the road crossing through purchase of mitigation bank credits. The City of Charlotte
proposes mitigating the permanent stream impacts at a 2.1 ratio. Thus, the 89 linear feet
of stream impacts from the culvert impact will be mitigated by purchasing 178 credits from
the City of Charlotte Umbrella Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank within the primary
service area. Also, by adding additional linear footage of stream and floodplain to the

Mecklenburg County's Berewick Park as described above, the County will be able to
monitor Beaverdam Creek on a regular basis. And by including the Mecklenburg County
easement of Beaverdam Creek this donation serves as an additional measure of
protection for the future preservation and nature of the area surrounding Berewick Park.
This addition to the Park creates and further helps reduce the possibility for functional loss
resulting from past and future encroachments. Lastly, the additional mitigation of the
permanent stream impacts ensures there is a "no net loss" of stream habitat from the
proposed road crossing.
In summary, we believe the measures taken and proposed for the extension of Garrison
Road have avoided and minimized to the greatest extent possible impacts to the unnamed
tributary of Beaverdam Creek. Furthermore, the proposed measures have further
eliminated the possibility of measurable indirect or cumulative effects to the downstream
portions of the unnamed tributary of Beaverdam Creek resulting from the proposed
extension of Garrison Road.
