4. Project Description and History
4a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: "
The Dorton Park site is approximately 29 acres in extent and is located west-southwest of the Poplar Tent Road and George W Liles Pkwy NW intersection in Concord, North Carolina
(Figures 1 and 2, Attachment A).
The project area consists of undeveloped forested areas, maintained grassy areas, herbaceous areas, low intensity development, and a sewer line right-of-way. On -site elevations range
from 590-610 feet above mean sea level (Figure 2). Land cover within the project area consists of deciduous forest, mixed forest, maintained grassy areas, herbaceous areas, low intensity
development, and sewer line right-of-way.
According to the United States Department of Agriculture - Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA-NRCS) Web Soil Survey of Cabarrus County (Figure 4) and the NRCS
Published Soil Survey for Cabarrus County (Figure 5), on -site soils consist of three different soil types. Of the on -site soils listed on the Web Soil Survey, Chewacla soil series is listed as
containing hydric inclusions.
A review of the NWI GIS layer depicted a potential riverine along the western border of the project limits and a potential forested wetland in the central portion and southern portion of the
project limits (Figure 6).
FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer was reviewed for the project area (FEMA Panels 3710560000K and 371469000K). The majority of Dorton Park is located within 1 % Annual Chance
Flood Hazard, Regulatory Floodway, and the 0.2 % Annual Chance Flood Hazard (Figure 7).
Based on the results of wetland delineation performed by Carolina Wetland Services, there are five jurisdictional waters of the U.S. located within the project boundary totaling
approximately 3,955 linear feet of jurisdictional stream channel (Figure 8).
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?
Yes No Unknown
4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
0.05
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
81 intermittent; 3,874 perennial
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:"
The Dorton Park project involves stabilizing and restoring a portion of Afton Run and one of its tributaries using permanent techniques.

4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:"
Under Nationwide Permit (NWP) No. 13, proposed permanent stream impacts associated with this bank stabilization and restoration project total 1,573 If. Temporary stream impacts total
76 If, and are the result of temporary log mat crossings and dewatering devices.
The proposed impacts and construction plan details are included in the Attachment D. The proposed impacts are described in detail below
Stream Impacts (S1-S14)
This portion of Afton Run and its associated tributary are highly incised and is beginning to erode in the banks, and is encroaching on a sewer line and a park. Therefore The City of
Concord is proposing to perform a total of 1,573 linear feet of streambank stabilization and restoration using permanent techniques such as log sills, log cross vanes, boulder sills, native
riffles, boulder cascades, boulder toes, j-hooks, and brush toes (Sheets C6.04 and C8.01-C8.03; Attachment D).
All areas disturbed by the work shall be re -graded to leave the area in a smooth condition, sloped for drainage and stabilized. Zone 1 along the stream banks will be seeded with a riparian
seed mix and will receive herbaceous plus and livestakes. Zone 2 within the stream buffer will be seeded with a riparian seed mix, and will receive bare roots and 1-gallon trees (Sheets
L1.00 and L1.01; Attachment D).
5. Jurisdictional Determinations

la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Impacts to on -site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent practicable. The Dorton Park project has been designed to
avoid impacts to jurisdictional waters wherever possible and minimize the extent of necessary impacts to jurisdictional waters.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Best Management Practices (BMP's) will be implemented during construction to avoid further Impacts. Proper sediment and erosion control measures

To determine which protected species are listed as occurring or potentially occurring within the project vicinity and prior to conducting the on -site field
investigation, CWS consulted the United States Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS) Endangered and Threatened Species and Species of Concern by
County for North Carolina online database for Cabarrus County. In addition, CWS performed a data review using the North Carolina Natural Heritage
Program (NCNHP) Data Explorer and Information for Planning and Consultation (IPAC) database to determine if any record occurrences of federally -
listed, candidate endangered, threatened species, or critical habitat were located within the project limits and conducted a habitat assessment within the
study area. The results of the desktop review and habitat assessment are included in the Protected Species Habitat Assessment reports (Attachment F).
