At the request of Brick O, LLC, Bolton & Menk (BM I) is submitting this pre -construction notification
(PCN), including an Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) request, to prepare for site
development at the Arrowridge Industrial Site (Study Area), located in Charlotte, NC. The Study Area is
located northeast of the intersection of Interstate 77 and Interstate 485 with Mecklenburg County
Parcel ID# 20303151.
Construction is planned to begin at this site in October -November 2023.
Setting
The project is in the Sugar Creek Watershed (HUC 0305010301). Sugar Creek is located near the site to
the south. Land use in the vicinity includes undeveloped and industrial properties.
The 9.953-acre study area is comprised primarily of successional hardwood forested uplands. The
southern edge of the site includes emergent wetlands in the floodplain of Sugar Creek. Based on a
review of historical aerial photographs, a portion of the site was cleared in early 2006, presumably for
site development that was not completed. A sediment basin (Non -jurisdictional Wetland 2) was built as
part of the construction activities and has since been abandoned.
The following species were observed in uplands at the site: trees including sweetgum, red maple (Acer
rubrum), persimmon (Diospyros virginiana), green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), eastern red cedar
(Juniperus virginiana), water oak (Quercus nigra), willow oak (Quercus phellos), and winged elm (Ulmus
alata), and American elm (Ulmus americans); shrubs including autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellate),
Japanese privet (Ligustrum japonicum), Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), and winged sumac (Rhus
copallinum); and other herbs/vines including fireweed (Erechtites hieraciifolius), sawtooth blackberry
(Rubus argutus), pokeweed (Phytolacca americans), and Canada goldenrod (Solidago canadensis).
These species were observed in and near wetlands at the site: trees including boxelder (Acer negundo),
river birch (Betula nigra), green ash, water oak, black willow (Salix nigra), and American elm; shrubs
including American holly (Ilex opaca); and herbs/vines including: devil's beggarticks (Bidens frondosa),
shallow sedge (Carex lurida), swamp rose mallow (Hibiscus moscheutos), common rush (Juncus effusus),

broad -leaf arrowhead (Sagittaria latifolia), woolgrass (Scirpus cyperinus), and common cattail (Typha
latifolia).
Soils at the site consist of Mecklenburg find sandy loams and Monacan loam. The soil is slightly acidic
with pH ranging from 6.1 to 6.5 (1:1 water, NRCS 2023).
Wetland Delineation —JD Request
A wetland and stream delineation was completed on July 18, 2023 to determine the location and types
of aquatic resources at the site. The wetland boundaries were delineated and staked in the field using
methods described in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual and Eastern Mountains
and Piedmont Region (Version 2.0) Supplement. Wetland determinations were based on wetland
features meeting all three mandatory criteria: hydrology, hydrophytic vegetation, and hydric soils. Prior
to conducting a field investigation of this site, Exhibits A through E were used to complete a preliminary
evaluation.
No tributaries and two wetlands (Wetland 1 and Wetland 2) were observed at the site. These two
wetlands met the three mandatory criteria for a wetland. Greater than 50% of the vegetation observed
was facultative or wetter, including the observance of obligate vegetation in both wetlands. The
wetlands also met wetland hydrology indicators including geomorphic position and fac-neutral test. The
dominant hydric soil type observed was a depleted matrix with distinct or prominent redox seen in the
soil surface. See the wetland data sheets included as Attachment X for further details for Wetlands 1
and 2. Data sheets for soil borings ending in "A" or "AA" (e.g., WI -A) are wetland borings and soil
borings ending in "B" or "BB" or labeled "SB-X" (e.g., WI-B or SB-1) are upland borings. Delineated
wetlands are shown on Exhibit F. The locations of photographs included in the Photograph Log are
shown on Exhibit G.
Wetland 1 is a non -tidal freshwater marsh, dominated by herbaceous wetland vegetation. The northern
end of wetland 1 is situated in a linear depression between two berms. The berms are not present near
the southeast portion of the property and there Wetland 1 opens up to the larger floodplain of Sugar
Creek.
Wetland 2 was created as a sediment basin for site construction that began in 2006. Aerial imagery from
2006 and 2007 show portions of the site cleared and graded and the sediment basin can clearly be seen
(Mecklenburg County Time Machine available at https:Htimemachine.mcmap.org). Earlier imagery from
the 30s and 50s show that the area later excavated as a sediment basin is located in uplands northwest
of the apparent drainage feature that includes a portion of Wetland 1. Historical aerial photographs are
shown on Exhibit H. Redox features and low chroma observed in soil at Wetland 2 is limited to the top
few inches, indicating recent development of hydric soil.
Site photos show water coming from an air -release manhole for a water main northwest of Wetland 2.
That water and stormwater drainage from an upland drainage swale drain to the sediment basin. A large
diameter riser pipe was installed to drain the sediment basin. Soil berms are located on the south and
east sides of the sediment basin. See photographs 3 through 6 showing the sediment basin.

Purpose and Need
The purpose of this project is to build warehouse space divided into three sections for lease. There is a
demand/need for this type of space within the area.
Avoidance
The Clean Water Act requires that impacts to aquatic resources be avoided if practicable alternatives
exist. Two project alternatives that avoid all impacts to aquatic resources on the site include:
1. No build Alternative: The no build alternative avoids wetland impacts, however, is not
considered feasible because it does not meet the needs of the client to develop the property
with a warehouse for lease.
2. Smaller Building Size: A smaller building and routing the sewer around the site was considered in
order to avoid wetland impacts. The current building size is 78,800 square feet. To avoid
impacts, the building size would be reduced by approximately 20,000 square feet, reducing the
feasibility of the project. The sewer is planned to be connected to an existing sanitary sewer line
to the southeast of the site. The current path of the planned line cuts into the wetlands at a 90
degree angle straight to the sewer connection. Routing the sewer line in any other direction
would cause more impacts than the current proposed configuration.
Minimization
The CWA requires that all unavoidable impacts to aquatic resources be minimized to the greatest
extent practicable. The following minimization techniques were used for this project:
• Impacts were constrained to Wetland 2 only, which is a constructed sediment basin
• Slopes near wetlands are 2:1 and 3:1 to avoid impacts
• Erosion and sediment control measures will be used to prevent impacts to aquatic resources
Bolton & Menk is an equal opportunity employer.
Mitigation
This project will have no impact on streams, 0.02 temporary impacts to Wetland 1, and 0.10-acre
permanent impacts to non -jurisdictional Wetland 2. Impacts are minimal, below mitigation thresholds
and therefore mitigation is not proposed.
NWP General Condition #18. Endangered Species
A threatened and endangered species habitat evaluation was completed to determine the potential for
occurrence of federally listed threatened and endangered species at the Site and immediate vicinity in
preparation for site development. The Carolina Heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorata), a federal and state
listed mussel species, is listed by NCNHP as occurring on site, however, this species was not listed by the
USFWS IPaC search. There are no streams occurring on site therefore the heelsplitter does not occur at
the site. Potential habitat for three federally listed vascular plant species (smooth coneflower,
Schweinitz's sunflower, and Michaux's sumac) may be present at the site. A field survey for these
species was conducted by a field biologist on September 61h. The listed species were not observed at the
site during the field survey.
NWP General Condition #20. Historic Properties
To comply with NWP General Condition #20, we reviewed the North Carolina Department of Natural
and Cultural Resources (NCDNCR) — Historic Preservation Office (HPO) HPOWEB 2.0 GIS tool to search
for nearby listings on the National Register (NR) or Study List (SL). No NR or SL listings were found within
a 1-mile radius of the site.
Please let us know if you have any questions or need further information.
