The existing storm drainage infrastructure is aging, in disrepair and insufficient for conveying design storm flows. As a result, structure and road flooding are frequent occurrences. The Project proposes to improve the existing storm drainage infrastructure (i.e., pipe systems and culverts) and to enhance degraded stream reaches located between pipe system segments. Infrastructure upgrades consist of replacing undersized or failing pipes with larger pipes that are sufficient to convey design storm flows. Additional impacts will result from the installation of rip rap aprons and plunge pools to dissipate erosive forces exiting the newly upgraded infrastructure. The Project is located in Charlotte, North Carolina (Appendix A, Figure 1). Applicant Name: Charlotte -Mecklenburg Storm Water Services, POC: Kristen O'Reilly Mailing Address: 600 East Fourth Street, Charlotte, NC 28202 Phone Number of Owner/Applicant: (704) 517-0814 440 S Church Street, Suite 1200, Charlotte, NC 28202-2075 (704) 338-6700 Project Location: Plaza Midwood neighborhood Waterway: Little Sugar Creek Basin: Catawba (Hydrologic Unit Code [HUC] 03050103) City/County: Charlotte, Mecklenburg County Center Decimal Degree Coordinates of Project Area: 35.2250940,-80.815771 ° USGS Quadrangle Name: Charlotte East, NC (1981) Project History An Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) and Nationwide Permits (NWP) 3 and 27 (Appendix B, SAW-2011-00366) were issued for this project on March 2, 2011, followed by NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Water Quality General Certifications (WQGC) 3687 and 3689 (Appendix B, DWQ# 11-0022) on January 13, 2011. The Project was delayed to allow time to update the plans to meet new design standards from various agencies and City of Charlotte Departments. The approved AJD, NWPs, and WQGCs expired during this process. In May 2016, a request for re -authorization was submitted and on October 17, 2016, the Division of Water Resources (DWR) issued approval for WQGCs 3883 and 3885 (Appendix C, DWR# 11-0022V3). On November 17, 2016, the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) issued approval for NWP 3 and 27 (Appendix C, SAW-2011- 00366). These approvals expired, but were renewed in April 2018 under NWPs 3 and 27, and WQGCs 4132 and 4134 with no modifications to the Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) submitted in 2016 (Appendix D, DWR# 11-0022V4 and USACE email dated February 2, 2018). The 2018 approvals have expired, therefore, HDR is submitting this PCN requesting authorization under RGP 163 and WQGC 4508 for activities associated with maintenance, aquatic habitat restoration, enhancement, and establishment activities. A Pre -Filing Meeting Request Pursuant to 40 CFR § 121.4 was submitted to NCDEQ-DWR on April 26, 2023 (Appendix L), in advance of this PCN request.

The Compensatory Mitigation Responsibility Transfer Form is attached as Appendix H and is still valid to mitigate for these impacts. The proposed Project includes 375 linear feet of permanent loss impacts consisting of the previously mitigated 156 linear feet and 219 linear feet that will require mitigation. Therefore, mitigation credits are proposed at a 1:1 ratio for 219 linear feet of stream impacts and the credit reservation letter for the 219 linear feet is included as Appendix I. Note, one linear foot of stream impact from the previous submittals was not included (an error) and will now be captured within the 219 linear feet of stream impacts that require mitigation. HDR Engineering, Inc. of the Carolinas (HDR), on behalf of our client Charlotte - Mecklenburg Storm Water Services (CSWS) is requesting authorization under RGP 163 and WQGC 4508 for activities associated with maintenance, aquatic habitat restoration, enhancement, and establishment activities.

Since I'm getting quite a few of these in these days due to the up -coming expiration of the one year extension, I've been letting these go statutory when there are no changes to the impacts. So as such, I don't plan on issuing a formal verification for this project but I can send you an email once the permit hits the 45 days to let you know that it has been authorized via statutory authority.

Appendix J Meeting Minutes October 31, 2008 June 15, 2010 February 15, 2023 Charlotte-Meckle riburg STORM WATER Services -- Mitigation Bank Review Team Field Meeting On -site Mitigation for the Louise Avenue Storm Drainage Improvement Project October 31, 2008; 11:30am—1:15pm Attendees Dance McGee, Charlotte -Mecklenburg Storm Water Services (CMSWS) Jarrod Karl, CMSWS Alan Johnson, NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Amanda Jones, US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Andrew Martin, US Infrastructure (USI) Ashlie Wood, USI Chris Yow, Baker Engineering (Baker, consultant of CMSWS) Minutes ➢ The meeting began with introductions and an explanation of each individual's role in the project. ➢ Dance McGee of CMSWS and Andrew Martin of USI then gave a project summary of the planned and completed storm water improvements and their associated stream impacts. ➢ Chris Yow of Baker then gave a summary of the Louise Avenue Geomorphic Assessment Report (November 2006) conducted for the three project reaches and the recommended stream restoration or enhancement improvements to mitigate the stream impacts. ➢ The group then examined Reach 3, the most downstream reach which flows into Little Sugar Creek. Chris Yow explained the proposed restoration or enhancement improvements as the group walked from Siegle Ave. to the confluence with Little Sugar Creek. The original Baker assessment report recommended approximately 420 LF of priority II restoration and 200 LF of enhancement. The general consensus from Alan Johnson of DWQ and Amanda Jones of USACE (collectively known as the MBRT) was that the reach was fairly stable, although with invasive vegetation and gabion baskets, and that less priority II restoration should be constructed and more enhancement. The MBRT agreed that invasive vegetation removal, native vegetation planting, and selective bank stabilization/profile enhancement would be appropriate stream improvements for this reach. ➢ Reach 2 was examined next at the upstream end from Louise Avenue. Baker proposed 275 LF of priority II stream restoration and selective bank stabilization, invasive vegetation removal, and planting for approximately 900 LF. The MBRT agreed that this reach looked more impaired and the stream improvements proposed by Baker would provide adequate "functional uplift". ➢ Reach 1 was then examined and the MBRT agreed with Baker's restoration approach, which includes 396 LF of priority II stream restoration. Similar to Reach 2 the MBRT concluded that the stream improvements were justified by the potential "functional uplift" of this reach. ➢ It is Baker's conclusion following the meeting that less stream mitigation credit will be approved by the MBRT than was approximated in the Louise Avenue Geomorphic Report (November 2006). However, the MBRT stated that since the project is not for mitigation banking and for on -site mitigation, they would be less critical with the mitigation (on -site) credit proposal.

Fourth Street Charlotte, NC 28202 Fax 704.336.6586 Minutes • Discussed and re -verified suitability of Mitigation Reaches for providing on -site mitigation • Reviewed proposed impacts from Louise Avenue CIP that will require mitigation with the following changes from the mitigation proposal: o Sheet 3, Stilling basin installation at pipe outlet: WILL REQUIRE MITIGATION o Sheets 6 and 7, Channel re -alignment with rock toe: WILL NOT REQUIRE MITIGATION o All step -pool sequences WILL REQUIRE MITIGATION unless we can eliminate rip rap fill in between steps • Both agencies determined that they were fine with the 1:1 mitigation ratio given the poor quality of the on -site streams and the fact that this is not a mitigation bank project. • Reviewed jurisdictional determination and determined that all features above Hawthorne Lane (mainstem and small tributary) identified as intermittent are non - jurisdictional. This means that impacts within these areas do not count towards the permitting and mitigation thresholds and applies to the open channel segments on Sheets 9, 10, 11, and 12. • CMSWS needs to re -submit an updated package, including updated JD map, for verification from the USACE • Potential implications are that permanent impacts from the proposed Louise Avenue CIP may be able to be reduced to less than 300 linear feet, thereby allowing the project to be approved under a series of NWPs instead of an IP. In addition, cumulative impacts may be offset by constructing only a portion of the currently proposed Mitigation Reaches 1 and 2. • CMSWS will need to re -quantify jurisdictional impacts and cumulative impacts requiring mitigation to determine a path forward for permitting. • w�T1�a To report pollution or drainage problems, call: 311 http://stormwater.charmeek.org �` CHAMMW s . Compensatory Mitigation Reaches The current mitigation strategy consists of enhancing two reaches, Mitigation Reaches 1 and 2, of the main on -site perennial tributary. Mitigation Reach 1 is approximately 298 linear feet and begins at the CSX railroad crossing before terminating at the Louise Avenue road crossing. Mitigation Reach 2 begins downstream of the Louise Avenue road crossing and extends downstream for approximately 411 linear feet. Please see the attached Louise Avenue CIP Project Area and Mitigation Map for mitigation reach locations. As documented in the detailed stability and geomorphic analyses, and as agreed upon by the IRT during the October 31, 2008 field review, these mitigation reaches are degraded and if enhanced, have the potential to provide functional uplift. In general, indicators of stream impairment consist of vertical and moderately eroding banks, over -widened channel dimensions, lack of floodplain access, and prevalence of invasive species (mostly kudzu) along the channel. A detailed report documenting stability and geomorphic assessments along with design rationale for the proposed mitigation reaches is available upon request. Goals and Obiectives Due to lateral site constraints and the inability to restore pattern to these reaches, CMSWS proposes to use a priority III restoration approach to construct a Rosgen 134c stream type mitigation reaches. These improvements are consistent with Enhancement I as defined in the North Carolina Stream Mitigation Guidelines (2003 interagency guidance document). The objective is to compensate for 420 linear feet of permanent stream impacts by enhancing 709 linear feet of stream located along the same contiguous reach of stream channel. It was agreed upon during a June 15, 2010 field meeting with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and N.C. Division of Water Quality that the on -site mitigation measures would be sufficient to provide 1:1 mitigation for the cumulative permanent impacts. Site Selection Mitigation Reaches 1 and 2 are located within the same contiguous 5,000 linear foot stream reach as the previous projects and the proposed Louise Avenue CIP. This on -site mitigation strategy should help to ensure the direct offset of the cumulative impacts, as well as allow for the construction of the mitigation reaches as part of the Louise Avenue CIP. Mitigation Work Plan The current construction plans of the proposed Louise Avenue CIP are enclosed with this submittal. Sheets P1 and P2 illustrate the plan and profile views for proposed Mitigation Reaches 1 and 2. These sheets are supplemented by details (Sheets 131-135), typical cross-section drawings (Sheet XS1), and landscape plans (Sheets LP3 and LP4). In general, enhancement measures will include dimension and profile improvements; installation of various in -stream habitat structures and riffle -pool sequences; bank stabilization using biodegradable mesh and native riparian vegetation; and riparian buffer restoration, including invasive plant eradication and native plant establishment. Native plant establishment areas and the associated planting USACE, NC DWR, Charlotte Storm Water Services 401/404 Permitting Meeting Wednesday, February 15, 2023, 930am—1230pm In attendance: Samantha Daily (USACE), Megan Jolly (USACE), Doug Perez (USACE), Sue Homewood (NC DWR), Kristen O'Reilly (CSWS), Noah Meador (CSWS) and Donna Hood (CSWS) I. LOUISE AVE SDIP Kristen provided a handout of information about Louise Ave and Lyon Court, two large SDIPs requiring notification. Louise is in design and Lyon Court just finished construction. Louise Ave SDIP has previously been authorized three times. CSWS plans to request authorization for the project again but with some changes. 929 Louise Avenue Instream work proposed on sheet P1 The group observed conditions in the open channel just past the pipe system proposed for upgrade/replacement. The stream is incised with substantial rip rap, banks are covered in kudzu, and the lower banks are sheer and collapsing in areas. It is proposed to install a large stilling basin, grade a flood plain bench predominately on the left bank, and install several constructed riffles, log vanes and brushed mattresses. CSWS plans to keep this proposed work (sheet P1) as previously authorized. Discussions continued about conditions downstream of the Louise culvert where additional instream structures and channel work was proposed (sheets P2 and P3). CSWS plans to pull this work out of the project because the parts of this channel where work is proposed are bedrock and/or relatively stable from concrete rubble and invasives. They believe the benefit of installing instream structures in these relatively stable areas is minimal and may create more instability. The agencies agreed with this approach. One -foot drops made of Redi Rock The group also discussed the "6-inch rule" and the proposed 1' drops leading into the Hawthorne Lane pipe system well upstream. Kristen asked if drops over 6" right before an extensive pipe system (>1100LF) is acceptable and if so, could they be constructed of Redi Rock. She fears 1' vanes out of natural rock will not be stable. The agencies said this was acceptable and emphasized that drops >6" and use of Redi Rock on the bed and banks should be avoided, but there are circumstances when it is acceptable. Sam suggested documenting the lack of biological health as further support for exceeding the 6" ALP height. Use of NWP 3/ WQGC 4239 for point repair projects CSWS asked about using NWP 3 for projects that meet the conditions of non- notification under NWP 3 instead of the RGP. These projects would still be tracked, and info would be provided as part of the RGP Annual Report. The main difference for CSWS would be the process used for permitting these projects. Permitting staff would still attend PCC and final walks to ensure the project is compliant with NWP 3, but they would maintain much less documentation than projects permitted under the RGP. Sam and Sue thought this was an acceptable process. 929 Seigle Ave The group observed conditions at the Seigle Ave culvert. Photos upstream showed the bed and banks covered in rip rap. Downstream appeared stable. Plans (Sheet P3) previously proposed rock vanes USACE, NC DWR, Charlotte Storm Water Services 401/404 Permitting Meeting Wednesday, February 15, 2023, 930am—1230pm upstream and downstream of the culvert. There were also past discussions about installation of baffles in the culvert. The group agreed there would be little benefit to installing any of these instream structures or baffles. The agencies also agreed that if the enhancement work on sheets P2 and P3 were intended to be "self - mitigation" for the Seigle, Otts and Louise culverts, that requirement was not documented in permits and should not be required retroactively. Removing this work will have no impact on permitting or mitigation. II. Lyon Court SDIP 1520 Iris Drive Permitting Lyon Court Repairs The group discussed how repairs will be permitted for Lyon Court. Sam and Sue did not think the entire project needed to be reauthorized for repairs. Sam suggested permitting repairs through NWP 3 and/or the RGP if the same design already authorized would be used. She also said that if repair requires new design, it should be submitted through PCN process. Rock Sills upstream of Iris Drive Culvert The group thought the erosion on the left bank alongside the rock sills is likely from a combination of parking lot sheet runoff and stormwater pressures on that bend. DWR and USACE thought the stream bank needed repair, predominately above the OHWM, and that the sills looked relatively stable. Kristen asked for guidance related to the length of time CSWS is responsible for in -stream structures to measure <_ 6". For example, when structures are compliant as built, but shift or become non -compliant during the warranty period. The agencies generally said that if structures were built per plan, then repairs should be generally based on the goal for long term stability. Sue mentioned that monitoring for stability should be spelled out in the permits, usually 2 years and/or 2 bankful events is listed as a special condition in the 401. No special condition exists for the Lyon Court Project. The agencies did not have a problem with 5 sills (versus 7 planned) because they were relatively stable and within the linear feet of impacts authorized. They said deviations like this can be ok, but it should be properly authorized by permitting staff, (CSWS, USACE or DWR) before construction occurs. Culvert baffles are buried The group discussed baffles which were built to a height of 12", instead of > 12" which would encourage meandering above the burial level. CSWS said they have observed the baffles to be either completely buried or with little to no sediment at all. The agencies did not think over widening of the stream was a big concern here because there were floodplain culverts, and the baffles were very short (1'). 1230 Morningside Drive The group discussed the downstream stilling basin (plunge pool) that had filled in. The group felt if structures are buried but stable, documentation of the structures and impacts as built serves as compliant. Kristen asked if instream structures designed for 6" but constructed slightly higher or that become slightly higher from storms, are problematic for compliance. Sue said there is a certain amount USACE, NC DWR, Charlotte Storm Water Services 401/404 Permitting Meeting Wednesday, February 15, 2023, 930am—1230pm of shifting inevitable for instream structures. It's important to document as built conditions. In stream structures should be rebuilt if they are unstable. Separate and Complete The group discussed how to determine separate and complete and that the term primarily came from preventing new development from separating new culverts to avoid thresholds. The agencies agreed that most culverts CSWS is replacing can be considered separate and complete. Redi Rock and Gabion Walls CSWS said that previous USACE and NCDWR staff requested gabion baskets not be used anymore and asked for clarification. Sam and Sue said they could not prohibit the use of specific materials beyond those specifically called out in the RGP or GC. They said that gabion walls are not preferred, because of their short life span, but could still be used if justified. Notification Project Closeout — Certificate of Completion Kristen requested guidance related to signing certificates of completion and documentation for any deviations from authorized plans. Le., 5 rock sills versus 7 or the stilling basin has filled in, etc. The agencies again stressed the need for documenting as -built conditions and approval of any deviations. A summary of any diversions from the authorized plans could be attached to the certificate of completion for their files.

Probability of Presence Summary The graphs below provide our best understanding of when birds of concern are most likely to be present in your project area. This information can be used to tailor and schedule your project activities to avoid or minimize impacts to birds. Please make sure you read and understand the FAQ "Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report" before using or attempting t❑ interpret this report. Probability of Presence( ) Each green bar represents the bird's relative provability of presence in the 10km grid cell(s) your project overlaps during a particular week of the year. (A year is represented as 12 4- week months.) A taller bar indicates a higher probability of species presence. The survey effort (see below) can be used to establish a level of confidence in the presence score. One can have higher confidence in the presence score if the corresponding survey effort is also high. How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps: The probability of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events in the week where the species was detected divided by the total number of survey events for that week. For example, if in weep 12 there were 20 survey events and the Spotted Towhee was found in 5 of them, the probability of presence of the Spotted Towhee in week 12 is 0.25. 2. To properly present the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of presence is calculated. This is the probability of presence divided by the maximum probability of presence across all weeks. For example, imagine the probability of presence in week 20 for the Spotted Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of presence at week 12 (0.25) is the maximum of any week of the year. The relative probability of presence on week 12 is 0.25/0.25 = 1; at week 20 it is 0.05/0.25 = 0.2. 3. The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a statistical conversion so that all possible values fall between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is the probability of presence score. To see a bar's probability of presence score, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar. Breeding Season( ) Yellow bars denote a very liberal estimate of the time -frame inside which the bird breeds across its entire range. If there are no yellow bars shown for a bird, it does not breed in your project area. Survey Effort ( ) Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of surveys performed for that species in the 10km grid cell(s) your project area overlaps. The number of surveys is expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 64 surveys. To see a bar's survey effort range, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar. No Data (—) A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week. Survey Timeframe Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in ❑rder to ensure delivery of currently relevant information. The exception to this is areas off the Atlantic coast, where bird returns are based on all years of available data, since data in these areas is currently much more sparse. probability of presence breeding season I survey effort -- no data SPECIES JAN FEB j MAR APR MAY !

Nationwide Conservation Measures describes measures that can help avoid and minimize impacts to all birds at any location year round. Implementation of these measures is particularly important when birds are most likely to occur in the project area. When birds may be breeding in the area, identifying the locations of any active nests and avoiding their destruction is a very helpful impact minimization measure. To see when birds are most likely to occur and be breeding in your project area, view the Probability of Presence Summary. Additional measures or permits may be advisable depending on the type of activity you are conducting and the type of infrastructure ❑r bird species present on your project site. What does IPaC use to generate the list of migratory birds that potentially occur in my specified iocation? The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC} and other species that may warrant special attention in your project location. The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN); The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survev, banding, and citizen science datasets and is queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as occurring in the 14km grid ceII(s) which your project intersects, and that have been identified as warranting special attention because they are a ECC species in that area, an eagle (Eagle Act requirements may apply), or a species that has a particular vulnerability to offshore activities or development. Again, the Migratory Bird Resource fist includes only a subset of girds that may occur in your project area. It is not representative of all birds that may occur in your project area. To get a list of all birds potentially present in your project area, please visit the Rapid Avian Information Locator (RAIL)aol. What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location? The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). This data is derived from a growing collection of survey., banding, and citizen science datasets. Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information becomes available. To learn more about how the probability of presence graphs are produced and how to interpret them, go the Probability of Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me about these graphs" link. How do I know if a bird is breeding, wintering or migrating in my area? To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding, wintering, migrating or year-round), you may query your location using the RAIL Tool and look at the range maps provided for birds in your area at the bottom of the profiles provided for each bird in your results. If a bird on your migratory bird species list has a breeding season associated with it, if that bird does occur in your project area, there may be nests present at some point within the timeframe specified. If "Breeds elsewhere" is indicated, then the bird likely does not breed in your project area. What are the levels of concern for migratory birds? Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern: 1. "BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) that are of concern throughout their range anywhere within the USA (including Hawaii, the Pacific Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands); 2. "BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation Regions (SCRs) in the continental USA; and 3. "Non -BCC - vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on your list either because of the Eagie Act requirements (for eagles) or (for non -eagles) potential susceptibilities in offshore areas from certain types of development or activities (e.g. offshore energy development or longline fishing). Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made, in particular, to avoid and minimize impacts to the birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC species of rangewide concern. For more information on conservation measures you can implement to help avoid and minimize migratory bird impacts and requirements for eagles, please see the FAQs for these topics. Details about Birds that are potentially affected by offshore projects For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species and groups of bird species within your project area off the Atlantic Coast, please visit the Northeast Ocean data Portal. The Portal also offers data and information about other taxa besides birds that may be helpful to you in your project review. Alternately, you may download the bird model results files underlying the portal maps through the NOAA NCCOS Integrative Statistical Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf project webpage. Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use throughout the year, including migration. Models relying on survey data may not include this information. For additional information on marine bird tracking data, see the Diving Bird Study and the nanotag studies or contact Caleb Spiegel or Pam Loring. What if I have eagles on my list? If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid violating the Eagle Act should such impacts occur. Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of birds of priority concern. To learn more about how your list is generated, and see options for identifying what other birds may be in your project area, please see the FAQ "What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location". Please be aware this report provides the "probability of presence" of birds within the 10 km grid cell(s) that overlap your project; not your exact project footprint. On the graphs provided, please also look carefully at the survey effort (indicated by the black vertical bar) and for the existence of the "no data" indicator (a red horizontal bar). A high survey effort is the key component. If the survey effort is high, then the probability of presence score can be viewed as more dependable. In contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar means a lack of data and, therefore, a lack of certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply a starting point for identifying what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area, when they might be there, and if they might be breeding (which means nests might be present). The list helps you know what to look for to confirm presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement conservation measures to avoid or minimize potential impacts from your project activities, should presence be confirmed. To learn more about conservation measures, visit the FAQ "Tell me about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds" at the bottom of your migratory bird trust resources pave. Facilities National Wildlife Refuge lands Any activity proposed an lands managed by the National Wildlife Refuge system must undergo a 'Compatibility Determination' conducted by the Refuge. Please contact the individual Refuges to discuss any questions or concerns. There are no refuge lands at this location. Fish hatcheries There are no fish hatcheries at this location. Wetlands in the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) Impacts to NWI wetlands and other aquatic habitats may be subject to regulation under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, or other State/Federal statutes. For more information please contact the Regulatory Program of the local U.S. Army Corps of Engineers District. Please note that the NWI data being shown may be out of date. We are currently working to update our NWI data set. We recommend you verify these results with a site visit to determine the actual extent of wetlands on site. This location overlaps the following wetlands: RIVERINE R2UBHx R5UBH R2UBH A full description for each wetland code can be found at the National Wetlands Inventory_ website NOTE: This initial screening does not replace an on -site delineation to determine whether wetlands occur. Additional information on the NWI data is provided below. Data limitations The Service's objective of mapping wetlands and deepwater habitats is to produce reconnaissance level information on the location, type and size of these resources. The maps are prepared from the analysis of high altitude imagery. Wetlands are identified based ❑n vegetation, visible hydrology and geography. A margin of error is inherent in the use of imagery, thus, detailed on -the -ground inspection of any particular site may result in revision of the wetland boundaries or classification established through image analysis. The accuracy of image interpretation depends on the quality of the imagery, the experience of the image analysts, the amount and quality of the collateral data and the amount of ground truth verification work conducted. Metadata should be consulted to determine the date of the source imagery used and any mapping problems. Wetlands or other mapped features may have changed since the date of the imagery or field work. There may be occasional differences in polygon boundaries or classifications between the information depicted on the map and the actual conditions on site. Data exclusions Certain wetland habitats are excluded from the National mapping program because of the limitations of aerial imagery as the primary data source used to detect wetlands. These habitats include seagrasses or submerged aquatic vegetation that are found in the intertidal and subtidal zones of estuaries and nearshore coastal waters. Some deepwater reef communities (coral or tuberficid worm reefs) have also been excluded from the inventory. These habitats, because of their depth, go undetected by aerial imagery. Data precautions Federal, state, and local regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over wetlands may define and describe wetlands in a different manner than that used in this inventory. There is no attempt, in either the design or products of this inventory, to define the limits of proprietary jurisdiction of any Federal, state, or local government or to establish the geographical scope of the regulatory programs of government agencies. Persons intending to engage in activities involving modifications within or adjacent to wetland areas should seek the advice of appropriate Federal, state, or local agencies concerning specified agency regulatory programs and proprietary jurisdictions that may affect such activities. �o� Foy o� 0011\ CO Roy Cooper, Governor 9" 0 INC DEPARTMENT OF ""i ■ WMk.M 1 NATURAL AND CULTURAL RESOURCES ■-000 April 21, 2023 Johanna Velasquez HDR Inc 440 S. Church Street Charlotte, NC 28202 RE: Louise Avenue CIP Dear Johanna Velasquez: 13. Reid Wilson, Secretary Misty Buchanan Deputy Director, Natural Heritage Program NCNHDE-21675 The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above. Based on the project area mapped with your request, a query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have been surveyed. The results of this query should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists. In the event that rare species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our records. The attached `Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that have been documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one -mile radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report. If a Federally -listed species is found within the project area or is indicated within a one -mile radius of the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here: httr)s://www.fws.gov/offices/Directory/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37. Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information source in these publications.

Explain the purpose of the proposed project: The purpose of the Louise Avenue Capital Improvement Project (CIP) is to alleviate flooding and enhance degraded stream segments within the Study Area. The existing storm drainage infrastructure is aging and in disrepair and therefore is insufficient for conveying design storm flows. As a result, structure and road flooding are frequent occurrences. The Project proposes to improve the existing storm drainage infrastructure (i.e., pipe systems and culverts) and to enhance degraded stream reaches located between pipe system segments. Infrastructure upgrades consist of replacing undersized or failing pipes with larger pipes that are sufficient to convey design storm flows. Additional impacts will result from the installation of rip rap aprons and plunge pools to dissipate erosive forces exiting the newly upgraded infrastructure. An Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) and Nationwide Permits (NWP) 3 and 27 (Appendix B, SAW-2011- 00366) were issued for this project on March 2, 2011, followed by NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Water Quality General Certifications (WQGC) 3687 and 3689 (Appendix B, DWQ# 11-0022) on January 13, 2011. The Project was delayed to allow time to update the plans to meet new design standards from various agencies and City of Charlotte Departments. The approved AJD, NWPs, and WQGCs expired during this process. In May 2016, a request for re -authorization was submitted and on October 17, 2016, the Division of Water Resources (DWR) issued approval for WQGCs 3883 and 3885 (Appendix C, DWR# 11-0022V3). On November 17, 2016, the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) issued approval for NWP 3 and 27 (Appendix C, SAW-2011-00366). These approvals expired, but were renewed in April 2018 under NWPs 3 and 27, and WQGCs 4132 and 4134 with no modifications to the PCN submitted in 2016 (Appendix D, DWR# 11-0022V4 and USACE email dated February 2, 2018). The 2018 approvals have expired, therefore, HDR is submitting this PCN requesting authorization under Regional General Permit 163 and WQGC 4508 for activities associated with maintenance, aquatic habitat restoration, enhancement, and establishment activities. Construction activities are scheduled to begin in April 2024. 4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The Project proposes to improve the existing storm drainage infrastructure (i.e., pipe systems and culverts) and to enhance degraded stream reaches located between pipe system segments. Infrastructure upgrades consist of replacing undersized or failing pipes with larger pipes that are sufficient to convey design storm flows. Additional impacts will result from the installation of rip rap aprons and plunge pools to dissipate erosive forces exiting the newly upgraded infrastructure.

Isaac Hinson of Charlotte Mecklenburg Stormwater Services (CSWS) submitted the initial request for an Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) in June 2010. Amanda Jones of the USACE field -verified the jurisdictional determination on June 15, 2010. Per the field investigation, several stream jurisdictional determinations were changed, and a revised Existing Conditions/Jurisdictional Determination map was submitted to the USACE for verification on July 27, 2010. A jurisdictional determination was issued on March 2, 2011, concurrent with the issuance of project permits USACE Action ID 2011-00366. In August 2016, Erin Shanaberger (nee Turner) of CSWS submitted a PJD request for continued JD verification coverage of the project. On April 19, 2023, an on -site field investigation found portions of the Mainstem stream to be intermittent.

Comments: Impacts S1, S2, and S3 - The proposed pipe extension (Appendix E, Plan Sheet 3) is required to meet CSX's rail line loading requirements. The proposed extension (42 linear feet), plunge pool (48 linear feet) energy dissipater at the outfall, and rip rap apron (16 linear feet) will result in 106 linear feet of permanent stream impacts. Impact S4 - The step -pool sequence within Tributary 1 (Plant Sheet 6) is necessary to provide a stable and relatively natural transition into the upgraded downstream pipe system. Temporary impacts from the proposed step -pool sequence total 56 linear feet. Impact S5 - The perennial mainstem channel segment located along Hawthorne Lane will be enhanced (Plan Sheets 6 and 7) to remove blockages, eliminate erosion, provide a heterogeneous channel bottom, and alleviate flooding. In order to provide a stable left bank slope and avoid conflicts with Hawthorne Lane, the enhanced channel will be shifted slightly to the west. Impacts from stream enhancement activities along this reach will total 177 linear feet. Impacts S6 and S7 - This perennial mainstem channel will be permanently impacted by the installation of the proposed rip rap apron (12 linear feet) and plunge pool (39 linear feet) (Plan Sheets 6 and 7), both of which are associated with storm drain infrastructure maintenance along this same channel reach. Impact S8 — The step -pool sequence within the intermittent portion of the Mainstem (Plant Sheet 9) is necessary to provide a stable and relatively natural transition into the upgraded downstream pipe system. Temporary impacts from the proposed step -pool sequence total 44 linear feet. Impacts S9 and S10 — The intermittent Mainstem channel segment located above Hawthorne Lane will be enhanced (Plan Sheets 10 and 11) to remove blockages, eliminate erosion, provide a heterogeneous channel bottom, and alleviate flooding. Impacts from stream enhancement activities along this reach will total 414 linear feet. Impact S11 - The proposed rip rap apron will dissipate energy at the outfall and result in 18 linear feet of permanent stream impacts. Impact S12 — The proposed pipe extension along the intermittent mainstem channel south of Kennon Street will result in 200 linear feet of permanent stream impacts. Impact S13 - The 299 linear feet of impacts, as illustrated on Sheets P1, will result from the enhancement of degraded reaches of the mainstem channel located downstream of the CSX railroad crossing. All enhanced stream segments will be stabilized with biodegradable coir matting and bioengineering measures. Due to the enhancement activities proposed, these 299 linear feet of impacts are not considered a loss of Waters of the United States. Impacts S14, S15, and S16 — Pump arounds are necessary in order to conduct work in the dry. As illustrated on Plan Sheets EC6 and EC7, temporary impacts are the result of temporary impervious dikes (6 impervious dikes at 10 linear feet each) placed at the upstream and downstream ends of a work area. These impacts will results in 60 linear feet of temporary stream impacts. Construction Plans are included as Appendix E and associated updated Construction Details are included as Appendix N. Due to poor biological health within the stream system, installation of rip rap aprons with greater than 6-inch drops constructed of Redi Rock are proposed upstream of the Hawthorn Lane pipe system (Appendix E, Plan Sheet 6 and 9). This approach is anticipated to be more stable than 1-foot vanes made of natural rock. In a meeting on February 15, 2023, the USACE agreed this approach (Appendix J).

Impact Justification and Mitigation 1. Avoidance and Minimization 1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through project design: Impacts to on -site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent practicable. The plunge pool at the outlet of the extended pipe (Sheet 3) is necessary to dissipate energy from flows exiting the pipe and to protect the proposed downstream enhancement reaches. This plunge pool and the one at the pipe outlet on Sheet 7 are proposed in lieu of rip rap aprons to minimize the linear feet of permanent stream impacts at these locations. In addition, natural channel design principles are incorporated into the proposed enhancement activities on Sheets 6, 7, 10, 11, and P1. This should result in the functional lift of these currently degraded channel segments. Work proposed in previous applications (sheets P2 and P3) were eliminated to reduce impacts. In a meeting on February 15, 2023, the USACE agreed this approach (Appendix J). 1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize proposed impacts through construction techniques: To prevent sedimentation of downstream waters, construction will be conducted in the dry. Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be implemented as outlined in Sheets ECl-EC12 (Appendix E). Best Management Practices employed for this project will be in compliance with the most recent version of the "North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual' and the local governing authority.

What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat? A letter was forwarded to the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) on November 19, 2010 to determine the presence of any federally -listed, candidate endangered, threatened species or critical habitat within the Study Area. In a reply letter dated December 3, 2010 (Appendix K), NCNHP indicated that it has no record of rare species, significant natural communities, significant natural heritage areas, or conservation/managed areas at the site nor within 0.2 mile of the Study Area. NCNHP's records show a colonial wading bird colony (heronry) located about 0.2 mile to the east of the eastern end of the project, but it would not be impacted by the project. In 2023, HDR utilized the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) database and the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) Element Occurrence database (Appendix K) to evaluate the potential occurrence of federally protected species that may occur within the Study Area. The NCNHP Element Occurrence database indicated no occurrences of federally protected species within the Study Area. The USFWS IPaC database indicated the following federally protected species that have the potential to occur within the Study Area: tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus), monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus), Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxii), Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii), and smooth coneflower (Echinacea laevigata). The Study Area is comprised of residential, institutional, and industrial development with small, forested areas. The undeveloped wooded areas and stream -side zones are dominated by invasive plant species. The surrounding areas of the Project have experienced a significant increase in development since the original concurrence letter from the NCNHP in 2010 (Appendix K); therefore, the occurrence of any federally -listed, candidate endangered, or threatened species of critical habitat is unlikely. Attach consultation documentation. 6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement) 6a.

Page 23 of 25 PCN Form Version 4.3- April 20, 2022 7b. What data source(s) did you use to determine whether your site would impact historic or archeological resources? NC Department of Cultural Resources (NCDCR) State Historic Preservation Office A letter was forwarded to the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on November 19, 2010 to determine the presence of any areas of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance that would be affected by the project. In a reply letter dated January 21, 2011 (Appendix K) the SHPO indicates the project will not adversely affect any historic resources. A search of the Charlotte -Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks Commission list of designated historic landmarks revealed no historic properties that would be affected by the Project. Due to the nature of the Project, land disturbing activities will predominantly occur within railroad and road right-of-ways and within existing drainage features. As such, potential impacts to any areas of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance are unlikely. 7c. Attach historic or prehistoric documentation. 8.
