MEMORANDUM Date: September 6, 2023 To: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Charlotte Regulatory Field Office 8430 University Park Drive, Suite 615 Charlotte, NC 28262 From: Chad Ponce (BM I) — chad.ponce@bolton-menk.com CC: Carlos Edde — carlos@norteamrealestate.com Lauten Crow — lauten@simpsoncre.com Chris Larson — chris.larson@bolton-menk.com Subject: Mecklenburg County — AJD/NWP 39 PCN — Arrowridge Industrial Site 116 N Markley Street Suite 101 Greenville, SC 29601 Ph: 1864) 478-1700 Bolton-Menk.com 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), Bolton & Menk is an equal opportunity employer. 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. Bolton & Menk is an equal opportunity employer. Table 1.

This project will have no impact on streams and will impact two wetlands. See the impact summary table below. Proposed impacts are shown on Exhibit J. Table 2. Wetland Impact Table Name Impact Type Impact Size (acres) Jurisdictional Wetland 1 Temporary 0.02 Non -Jurisdictional Wetland 2 (Former Sediment Basin) Permanent 0.10 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.
