Nationwide Permit 29, 39, and 58 Application
Action ID: SAW-2008-02707 / DWR Project #: 2020-1288
Doug/Stephanie:
The applicant, Stephen Vinson with Magnolia Huntersville II LLC, is requesting approval of the enclosed
Nationwide Permit 18, 29, 39, and 58 verifications for unavoidable impacts to Waters of the United States.
Atlas Environmental completed a stream and wetland delineation on February 08, 2023, March 07, 2023,
March 08, 2023, and June 30, 2023. Included in this package is a preliminary jurisdictional determination
request package for Phase 2. Stream Assessment Method stream forms are included for all streams
where impacts are proposed (Phase 2) or have been installed (Phase 1). Correspondence with the North
Carolina Historic Preservation Office and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service Office is also
included in this package. A statement of availability from RES is included to cover the stream mitigation.
The 401-water quality certification and 404 nationwide permit for Phase 1 is enclosed. Finally, the
approved jurisdictional determination from the Army Corps is included.
There are eight streams and four wetlands within the review area of Phase 2. Ramah Creek (713 linear
feet), CH 100 (3,175 linear feet), CH 200 (1560 linear feet), CH 300 (66 linear feet), CH 400 (69 linear
feet), CH 500 (98 linear feet), CH 600 (33 linear feet), and CH 700 (61 linear feet) for a total of 5,775
linear feet. Ramah Creek and the lower reaches of CH 100 and CH 200 are perennial. Upper reaches of
CH 100 and CH 200 and CH 300, CH 400, CH 500, CH 600, and CH 700 are intermittent. WL 1000a
(0.006 acre), WL 1000 (0.001 acre), WL 1200 (0.044 acre), and WL 1300 (0.001 acre) are hydrologically
connected to CH 100. WL 1000a is an adjacent wetland near the Southern boundary.
The development will require three permanent stream crossings for road access, one permanent stream
impact for commercial/office space grading and parking, one permanent stream impact for grading at a
stormwater pond, one permanent stream impact for lot grading, two permanent stream impacts for sewer
line installation, and one temporary stream impact for sewer line installation. Additional impacts are being
avoided by the site engineering and design. Avoidance and minimization are occurring by the
construction of retaining walls. Impact S1 (191 LF, 0.012 acre) was located on the intermittent section of
CH 200 and is related to Phase 1 of the project. Since mitigation is required for Phase 2 of the project the
stream impact in Phase 1 has been added in this application to the mitigation calculation.
Impact S1 (320 LF, 0.014 acre) is located on the intermittent section of CH 100. 155 linear feet is for fill
related to grading and parking for a commercial or office building and 165 linear feet is for a road crossing
required for connectivity to Hwy 73. A retaining wall is proposed to the East to minimize additional stream
impact. Impact S2 (86 LF, 0.005 acre) is located on the intermittent section of CH 100 and is for the
installation of a culvert for a road crossing. Retaining walls will be used on either side of this road
crossing to avoid additional stream impacts. Impact S3 (86 LF, 0.004 acre) is for grading purposes for a
BMP. Impact S4 (68 LF, 0.009 acre) is located on the perennial section of CH 100 and is for the

(j%1RA0NMjEENTAL
installation of a culvert for a road crossing. Retaining walls will be used on either side of this road
crossing to avoid additional stream impacts. Impact S5 (56 LF, 0.003 acre) located on CH 400 and
Impact S6 (47 LF, 0.003 acre) located on CH 300, are both for installation of the proposed sanitary sewer.
A portion of impact S5 is for lot grading. The one temporary stream impact in Phase 2 is for one sewer
line crossing.
There is 0.068 acre of wetlands within Phase 1 and Phase 2. There are no wetland impacts proposed for
Phase 2. One minor wetland impact was completed during Phase 1 at the one road crossing (0.009
acre). There are 2,661 linear feet of intermittent streams and 5,243 linear feet of perennial streams
(7,904 linear feet total) within Phase 1 and Phase 2. Impacts for Phase 1 and Phase 2 are proposed to
13.2% of the wetlands, 29.5% of the low -quality intermittent streams, 1.3% of the perennial streams, and
10.8% of all streams. All but one of the intermittent stream impacts occur to the top reach of intermittent
streams that are actively eroding due to stormwater flows.

Stream Impacts (Temporary): 45 linear feet (0.006 acre)
Wetland Impacts (Permanent): 0.009 acre
NC DWR mitigation will not be required for this project as perennial stream impacts do not exceed 300
linear feet and wetland impacts are not greater than or equal to 0.10 acre. Corps wetland mitigation will
not be required since impacts do not exceed 0.10 acre. Corps stream mitigation will be required since
stream impacts exceed 0.02 acre. A copy of the Statement of Availability letter from RES Aster, LLC is
enclosed. The streams on site to be impacted rate as follows on NC SAM: S1, CH 100 intermittent = low
quality; S2, CH 100 intermittent = low quality; S3, CH 500 intermittent = low quality; S4, CH 100 perennial
= medium quality; S5 CH 400 intermittent = low quality; S6 CH 300 intermittent = low quality, S7 CH 100
intermittent = low quality. The SAM form for CH 200 which was impacted during construction of Phase 1
is low. The SAM stream ratings for the intermittent streams are because the streams are highly
entrenched, actively eroding due to storm flow velocities, presence of unnatural debris including bricks,
and lack of in -stream habitat. A mitigation ratio of 1:1 is proposed for all low -quality intermittent streams.
The SAM score for impact S2 perennial CH 100 is medium quality. A 2:1 mitigation ratio is proposed for
the perennial stream impacts. No wetland mitigation is required since impacts total 0.009 acre for both
Phases. No wetland impacts are proposed for Phase 2.
Enclosed are the necessary permit application documents for nationwide permits 18, 29, 39, and 58 as
well as additional supporting documentation. Thank you for your attention to the enclosed request.

The applicant, Stephen Vinson of Magnolia Huntersville II LLC is requesting approval of
the enclosed delineation package of potential Waters of the United States for a
preliminary jurisdictional determination. Atlas Environmental staff was onsite February
08, 2023, March 07, 2023, March 08, 2023, and June 30, 2023, and assessed the
presence of eight streams (Ramah Creek, CH 100, CH 2O0, CH 300, CH 400, CH 500,
CH 600, and CH 700) and four wetlands (WL 1000a, WL 1000, WL 1200, and WL
1300). Ramah Creek flows across the Southern boundary of the review area and was
assessed to be perennial. Channel CH 100 flows into Ramah Creek and was assessed
to be perennial in the Southern reach and intermittent in the Northern reach. Channel
CH 200 is a tributary to CH 100 and was also assessed to be perennial in the Southern
reach and intermittent in the Northern reach. Channels CH 300, CH 400, CH 500, CH
600, and CH 700 were all delineated as intermittent. Wetland WL 1000a is located on
the floodplain of Ramah Creek. Wetland WL 1000 abuts the perennial reach of channel
CH 100. Wetlands WL 1200 and WL 1300 abut the intermittent reach of channel CH
100.

Jurisdictional Determination Request
F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One)
❑� I am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminary JD for the property identified herein.
A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) provides an indication that there may
be "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United States"on a property.
PJDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. For the purposes of permitting, all
waters and wetlands on the property will be treated as if they are jurisdictional "waters of
the United States". PJDs cannot be appealed (33 C.F.R. 331.2); however, a PJD is
"preliminary" in the sense that an approved JD can be requested at any time. PJDs do
not expire.
I am requesting that the Corps provide an approved JD for the property identified herein.
An Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) is a determination that
jurisdictional "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United
States" are either present or absent on a site. An approved JD identifies the limits of
waters on a site determined to be jurisdictional under the Clean Water Act and/or
Rivers and Harbors Act. Approved JDs are sufficient as the basis for permit
decisions. AJDs are appealable (33 C.F.R. 331.2). The results of the AJD will be
posted on the Corps website. A landowner, permit applicant, or other "affected
party" (33 C.F.R. 331.2) who receives an AJD may rely upon the AJD for five years
(subject to certain limited exceptions explained in Regulatory Guidance Letter 05-
02).
❑ I am unclear as to which JD I would like to request and require additional information
to inform my decision.

wetlands, etc. Please include the acreage of these features.
Jurisdictional non -wetland features (i.e. tidal/navigable waters, tributaries,
impoundments) should be labeled as Non -Wetland Waters of the US, stream, tributary,
open water, relatively permanent water, pond, etc. Please include the acreage or linear
length of each of these features as appropriate.
Isolated waters, waters that lack a significant nexus to navigable waters, or non -
jurisdictional upland features should be identified as Non -Jurisdictional. Please
include a justification in the label regarding why the feature is non jurisdictional (i.e.
"Isolated", "No Significant Nexus", or "Upland Feature"). Please include the acreage
or linear length of these features as appropriate.
For Preliminary Jurisdictional Determinations:
Wetland and non -wetland features should not be identified as Jurisdictional, 404,
Waters of the United States, or anything that implies jurisdiction. These features can be
identified as Potential Waters of the United States, Potential Non -wetland Waters of
the United States, wetland, stream, open water, etc. Please include the acreage and
linear length of these features as appropriate.

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 7D (AID) for that review area based on an informed decision after having discussed the
various types of 7Ds 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 AID 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 AID
before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit
authorization on an AID 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 AID
or a PJD, the 7D will be processed as soon as practicable. Further, an AID, 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 AID 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:
SUPPORTING DATA. Data reviewed for PJD (check all that apply)
Checked items should be included in subject file. Appropriately reference sources below where

MAP INFORMATION
The soil surveys that comprise your AOI were mapped at
1:24,000.
Warning: Soil Map may not be valid at this scale.
Enlargement of maps beyond the scale of mapping can cause
misunderstanding of the detail of mapping and accuracy of soil
line placement. The maps do not show the small areas of
contrasting soils that could have been shown at a more detailed
scale.
Please rely on the bar scale on each map sheet for map
measurements.
Source of Map: Natural Resources Conservation Service
Web Soil Survey URL:
Coordinate System: Web Mercator (EPSG:3857)
Maps from the Web Soil Survey are based on the Web Mercator
projection, which preserves direction and shape but distorts
distance and area. A projection that preserves area, such as the
Albers equal-area conic projection, should be used if more
accurate calculations of distance or area are required.
This product is generated from the USDA-NRCS certified data as
of the version date(s) listed below.
Soil Survey Area: Mecklenburg County, North Carolina
Survey Area Data: Version 22, Sep 12, 2022
Soil map units are labeled (as space allows) for map scales
1:50,000 or larger.
Date(s) aerial images were photographed: Mar 13, 2022—May
9, 2022
The orthophoto or other base map on which the soil lines were
compiled and digitized probably differs from the background
imagery displayed on these maps. As a result, some minor
shifting of map unit boundaries may be evident.

Subject: Re: [EXTERNAL] North Creek Village Phase II T&E Report of Findings and Review
Request (Mecklenburg County)
Hey David,
We offer the following comments/concurrence to inform prudent effect determinations to federally listed species from
the appropriate action agency:
Based on the information provided, the proposed action occurs within the consultation area for the federally
endangered Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus scwheinitzii), Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxii), and the federally
threatened smooth coneflower (Echinacea laevigata). These species are known to occur in a variety of habitats
including maintained utility and road rights of way, forest edges, old pastures, and woodland openings. These species
may occupy habitats where the disturbance regime reduces competition from other species. They do not typically occur
in areas with dense understory vegetation, or in areas that experience frequent mowing or disturbance during
consecutive reproductive seasons. Your correspondence indicates that suitable habitats for these species are not
present present within the proposed action area (50CFR 402.02). Our concurrence with "no effect" determinations from
action agencies is not required.
Based on the information provided, suitable forage and/or roosting habitat for the proposed endangered tricolored bat
(Perimyotis subflavus), may occur within the proposed action area. To avoid impacts to this species, we encourage
project proponents to accomplish any necessary tree clearing outside of the "active season" for this animal. The active
season for tricolored bat occurs during the warmer time of year from April 1 - October 15. Although this species is not
currently afforded legal protection under the Endangered Species Act (Act), this impact minimization measure would
support our concurrence with a "may affect, not likely to adversely affect" determination from the appropriate action
agency should this species become listed in the future. If the proposed action would not affect suitable habitat for this
animal, we would not object to a "no effect" determination from the appropriate action agency.
The information provided indicates that suitable habitat is not present within the proposed action area for any other
federally listed species. Therefore, we require no further information and consider consultation to be complete at this
time. Please be aware that obligations under section 7 of the Act must be reconsidered if: (1) new information reveals
impacts of the identified action may affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered, (2) the
identified action is subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review, or (3) a new species is
listed or critical habitat is determined that may be affected by the identified action.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
Regards,
Byron

Re: Construct North Creek Village Phase II mixed -use development, 17705 Davidson -Concord Road,
Huntersville, Mecklenburg County, ER 23-0761
Dear Ms. Tallent:
Thank you for your email of March 13, 2023, regarding the above -referenced undertaking. We have
reviewed the submittal and offer the following comments:
One archaeological site has been previously recorded adjacent to the project area (this resource was
determined not eligible for the National register of Historic Places (NRHP), and most of the project area
has not been systematically surveyed for archaeological resources. The project area contains several high
probability land forms with well drained soils, particularly in the southern portion adjacent to an unnamed
tributary and bottom lands associated with Ramah Creek. Numerous archaeological sites have been
identified in similar settings in the vicinity, including ones determined eligible for the NRHP. Based on the
topographic and hydrological setting, we expect the project area may contain intact, significant
archaeological sites.
Prior to the initiation of any ground disturbing activities within the project area, we recommend that a
comprehensive archaeological survey be conducted. The purpose of this survey will be to identify and
evaluate the significance of archaeological sites that may be damaged or destroyed by the proposed project
and make recommendations regarding their eligibility status in terms of the National Register of Historic
Places.
The archaeological survey should be conducted by an experienced archaeologist that meets the Secretary of
the Interior's Professional Qualification Standards. A list of archaeological consultants who have
conducted or expressed an interest in contract work in North Carolina is available at
hgps://archaeology.ncdcr.gov/archaeological-consultant-list. The archaeologists listed, or any other
experienced archaeologist, may be contacted to conduct the recommended survey.
Please note that our office requests consultation with the Office of State Archaeology Review
Archaeologist to discuss appropriate field methodologies prior to the archaeological field investigation

Justification: In order to protect against impairment of water quality standards and best usage of
receiving and downstream waters, water quality based management practices must be employed to
protect against direct or indirect discharge of waste or other sources of water pollution. Surface
water quality standards require that conditions of waters be suitable for all best uses provided for in
state rule (including, at minimum: aquatic life propagation, survival, and maintenance of biological
integrity, wildlife, secondary contact recreation, agriculture) and that activities must not cause water

pollution that precludes any best use on a short-term or long-term basis. In determining that the
proposed activity will comply with state water quality standards (including designated uses, numeric
criteria, narrative criteria and the state's antidegradation policy), the Division must evaluate if the
activity has avoided and minimized impacts to waters, would cause or contribute to a violation of
standards, or would result in secondary or cumulative impacts
2. Diversion Ditches and other storm water conveyances as related to the sediment and erosion control
measures shall be matted and/or stabilized to reduce sediment loss and turbidity. This includes
interior/exterior slopes of sediment basins. 15A NCAC 02H .0506 (b)(3) and (c)(3)
Justification: Failure to reduce erosion of runoff conveyances and to provide for maximum reduction of
erosion on areas not related to ongoing construction, shortens basin holding times, increases turbidity
of discharge and creates a greater potential of bypass discharge.
3. Bare/fill slopes in excess of 10 feet in height and within 30 feet of surface waters shall be matted. 15A
NCAC 02H .0506 (b)(1) and15A NCAC 02H .502 (c)
Justification: A project that affects waters shall not be permitted unless the existing uses, and the water
quality to protect such uses, are protected. In determining that the proposed activity will comply with
state water quality standards (including designated uses, numeric criteria, narrative criteria and the
state's antidegradation policy), the Division must evaluate if the activity has avoided and minimized
impacts to waters, would cause or contribute to a violation of standards or would result in secondary or
cumulative impacts
4. The permittee shall report to the DWR Mooresville Regional Office any noncompliance with, and/or
any violation of, stream or wetland standards [15A NCAC 02B .0200], including but not limited to
sediment impacts to streams or wetlands. Information shall be provided orally within 24 hours (or
the next business day if a weekend or holiday) from the time the permittee became aware of the
non-compliance circumstances.
Citation: 15A NCAC 02H .0506(b), 15A NCAC 02H .0507(c)
Justification: Timely reporting of non-compliance is important in identifying and minimizing
detrimental impacts to water quality and avoiding impacts due to water pollution that precludes any
best use on a short-term or long-term basis.
5. Erosion control matting that incorporates plastic mesh and/or plastic twine shall not be used along
streambanks or within wetlands.

Justification: Surface water quality standards require that conditions of waters be suitable for all best
uses provided for in state rule, and that activities must not cause water pollution that precludes any
best use on a short-term or long-term basis. As cited in Stream Standards: (12) Oils, deleterious
substances, or colored or other wastes: only such amounts as shall not render the waters injurious to
public health, secondary recreation, or to aquatic life and wildlife, or adversely affect the palatability
offish, aesthetic quality, or impair the waters for any designated uses, and (21) turbidity in the
receiving water shall not exceed 50 Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU) in streams not designated
as trout waters and 10 NTU in streams, lakes, or reservoirs designated as trout waters, for lakes and
reservoirs not designated as trout waters, the turbidity shall not exceed 25 NTU; if turbidity exceeds
these levels due to natural background conditions, the existing turbidity level shall not be increased.
8. Culverts shall be designed and installed in such a manner that the original stream profiles are not
altered and allow for aquatic life movement during low flows. The dimension, pattern, and profile
of the stream above and below a pipe or culvert shall not be modified by widening the stream
channel or by reducing the depth of the stream in connection with the construction activity. The
width, height, and gradient of a proposed culvert shall be such as to pass the average historical low
flow and spring flow without adversely altering flow velocity. If the width of the culvert is wider than
the stream channel, the culvert shall include multiple boxes/pipes, baffles, benches and/or sills to
maintain the natural width of the stream channel. If multiple culverts/pipes/barrels are used, low
flows shall be accommodated in one culvert/pipe and additional culverts/pipes shall be installed
such that they receive only flows above bankfull.
Placement of culverts and other structures in streams shall be below the elevation of the streambed
by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48 inches, and 20% of the culvert diameter
for culverts having a diameter less than or equal to 48 inches, to allow low flow passage of water
and aquatic life. If the culvert outlet is submerged within a pool or scour hole and designed to
provide for aquatic passage, then culvert burial into the streambed is not required.
For structures less than 72" in diameter/width, and topographic constraints indicate culvert slopes
of greater than 2.5% culvert burial is not required, provided that all alternative options for flattening
the slope have been investigated and aquatic life movement/connectivity has been provided when

documentation to include a location map of the culvert, culvert profile drawings, and slope
calculations, shall be provided to DWR 30 calendar days prior to the installation of the culvert.
When bedrock is present in culvert locations, culvert burial is not required, provided that there is
sufficient documentation of the presence of bedrock. Notification, including supporting
documentation such as a location map of the culvert, geotechnical reports, photographs, etc. shall
be provided to DWR a minimum of 30 calendar days prior to the installation of the culvert. If
bedrock is discovered during construction, then DWR shall be notified by phone or email within 24
hours of discovery.
Installation of culverts in wetlands shall ensure continuity of water movement and be designed to
adequately accommodate high water or flood conditions. When roadways, causeways, or other fill
projects are constructed across FEMA-designated floodways or wetlands, openings such as culverts
or bridges shall be provided to maintain the natural hydrology of the system as well as prevent
constriction of the floodway that may result in destabilization of streams or wetlands.
The establishment of native woody vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization techniques
shall be used where practicable instead of rip -rap or other bank hardening methods.

1.1 Applicant name: Magnolia Huntersville Development Co., LLC, Stephen Vinson
1.2 Activity location: Latitude- 35.45090 Longitude:-80.80475 Location description: The
review area is located on the south side of NC-73 (Sam Furr Road); approximately
0.4 miles west of the intersection of NC-73 and Ramah Church Road. PINs:
01107315, 01107337, 01107317, 01107322, 01107320, 01107318, 01107336,
011107319, 01126140, and 01126113 (partial).
1.3 Description of activity requiring verification -This verification would authorize the
permanent stream and wetland impacts of 191 linear feet (0.012 acres) and 0.009
acres, respectively, to facilitate the construction of a multi -family townhome and
single-family residential development. In addition, 28 linear feet of temporary
stream will occur as a result of the residential development. All temporary stream
impacts will be restored to pre-existing conditions after the completion of
construction.
1.4 Is this an After -the -Fact verification? No.
1.5 Date PCN determined complete for processing 5/26/2021
1.6 Jurisdiction Determination completed? An Approved JD was completed on
10/1 /2020.
1.7 Permit authority: Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344)
1.8 Applicable Permit: NWP 29. Residential Developments
1.9 Activity requires written waiver of NWP limits? No.
1.10 Activity requires a waiver from the requirements of a regional condition(s)? No.
2.0 Evaluation of the Pre -Construction Notification
2.1 Direct and indirect effects caused by the GP activity: The direct effects of the
proposed activity in waters would include the loss of jurisdictional waters (as
specified in Section 1.3) and their associated aquatic resource functions. The
proposed activity also has the potential to result in indirect effects to waters
including excess sedimentation in downstream waters, disruption and/or killing
of aquatic life in the direct vicinity of the project area, increase of downstream
flows, and blocking/restricting aquatic life passage transiting in and through the
project area. These indirect effects are expected to be minimal due to design
criteria and Best Management Practices (BMPs) required by Nationwide Permit
General and Regional Conditions. Additionally, indirect effects would be further
reduced through the implementation of BMPs required by state, local, and
Federal ordinances and regulations.
2.2 Site specific factors: The review consists of forested land that was timbered
approximately 10 years ago and single family residences.
2.3 Coordination
2.3.1 Was the PCN coordinated with other agencies? No.
Agency coordination with the USFWS is required for the Northern Long Eared
Bat. However, the Corps is not required to wait for a response from the USFWS
Asheville Office in accordance with local procedures.
2.3.2 Was the PCN coordinated with other Corps offices? No.
2.4 Mitigation
2.4.1 Provide brief description of how the activity has been designed on -site to avoid and
minimize adverse effects, both temporary and permanent, to waters of the United States
to the maximum extent practicable at the project site -The applicant provided a
detailed statement describing their efforts to avoid and minimized impacts to
waters of the United States on the project site in the preconstruction notification.
Based on this information, the Corps believes the applicant has avoid and
minimized impacts to waters of the United State to the maximum extent
practicable.
2.4.2 Is compensatory mitigation required for unavoidable impacts to jurisdictional aquatic
resources to reduce the individual and cumulative adverse environmental effects to a
minimal level?
No.
Provide rationale: No compensatory mitigation is required because the applicant
has minimized impacts and the loss of wetlands associated with the activity is
less than 0.10 acre. There are no specific circumstances that would warrant
compensatory mitigation. No compensatory mitigation is required because the
applicant has minimized impacts and the loss of stream channel associated with
the activity is less than 0.02 acres There are no specific circumstances that would
warrant compensatory mitigation.
3.0 Compliance with Other Laws, Policies and Requirements
3.1 Section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered Species Act (ESA)
3.1.1 ESA action area: The action area includes the waters of the United States that will
be directly affected by the proposed work or structures and uplands directly
affected as a result of authorizing the work or structures.
3.1.2 Has another federal agency taken steps to document compliance with Section 7 of the
ESA and completed consultation(s) as required? No.
3.1.3 Known species/critical habitat present? No. The Corps has determined that it has
fulfilled its responsibilities under Section 7(a)(2) of the ESA.
IPAC Species in Mecklenburg County:
NAME: Northern Long-eared Bat (Myotis septentrionalis) STATUS: Threatened
NAME: Carolina Heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorata) STATUS: Endangered
NAME: Rusty -patched bumble bee (Bombus affinis) STATUS: Endangered
NAME: Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxii) STATUS: Endangered
NAME: Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii) STATUS: Endangered
NAME: Smooth coneflower (Echinacea laevigata) STATUS: Endangered
Effect determination (s), including no effect, for all known species/habitat, and basis for
determination(s): Based on the latest version of the Natural Heritage Program's
NHEO data, there are no protected species located within or in the vicinity of the
action area. The Corps has determined the proposed activity will not directly or
indirectly affect any species subject to the ESA. In a letter dated March 5, 2021,
the USFWS stated "The information provided suggests that potential suitable
habitat for the federally endangered smooth coneflower and Michaux's sumac
occurs onsite. However, targeted surveys for these species conducted during
their respective optimal survey windows, July 2020, detected no evidence of
these species. The information provided suggests that potential suitable habitat
for the federally endangered Schweinitz's sunflower occurs onsite. Targeted
surveys were conducted in September of 2008, however, survey results maintain
validity for no more than two years. Surveys for this species should be conducted
during the optimal survey window, of late August through October (or first frost),
where proposed project -mediated impacts overlap suitable habitats for these
species. Please submit your survey results to this office when they become
available to complete our review." The applicant conducted USFWS
recommended survey of August 31, 2020 and provided the results to USFWS on
May 4, 2021. The USFWS reviewed the results and stated "Based on the
information provided, suitable habitat occur onsite for the federally endangered
Schweinitz's sunflower, Michaux's sumac, and smooth coneflower. The
applicant's May 4, 2021, email indicates that the applicant detected no evidence
for Schweinitz's sunflower during the applicant's August 31, 2020 botanical
evaluation. Provided that the applicant also searched for Michaux's sumac and
smooth coneflower and also did not detect those species at that time, we would
concur with a may affect, not likely to adversely affect determination from the
USACE."
3.1.4 Consultation with either the National Marine Fisheries Service and/or the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service was initiated and completed as required, for any determinations other
than "no effect" (see the attached "Summary" sheet for begin date, end date and closure
method of the consultation).
The USACE reviewed this project in accordance with (IAW) the NLEB Standard
Local Operating Procedures for Endangered Species (SLOPES) between the
USACE, Wilmington District, and the Asheville and Raleigh U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service) Offices, and determined that the action area for this project is
located outside of the highlighted areas/red 12-digit HUCs and activities in the
action area do not require prohibited incidental take; as such, this project meets
the criteria for the 4(d) rule and any associated take is exempted/excepted. IAW
the NLEB SLOPES, the USACE sent a Situation 1 email to the Service on May 26,
2021, informing them about this project.
Service Concurrence: as established in the NLEB SLOPES, this project does not
require prohibited intentional take of the NLEB and it meets the criteria for the
4(d) rule; therefore any associated take is exempt and it is not necessary for the
USACE to wait 30 days for the Service to object or concur.
Based on a review of the information above, the Corps has determined that it has
fulfilled its responsibilities under Section 7(a)(2) of the ESA.
3.2 Magnuson -Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, Essential Fish
Habitat (EFH) The NWPs/RGPs were coordinated with the NMFS during the permit
renewal process. NMFS coordination/EFH consultation is required if the activity
affects SAV. This activity does not affect SAV. Therefore, NMFS coordination/EFH
consultation has been completed.
3.2.1 Has another federal agency taken steps to comply with EFH provisions of Magnuson -
Stevens Act? No.
3.2.2 Did the proposed project require review under the Magnuson -Stevens Act? No.
3.3 Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (Section 106)
3.3.1 Section 106 permit area -The permit area includes those areas comprising waters of the
United States that will be directly affected by the proposed work or structures, as well
as activities outside of waters of the U.S. because all three tests identified in 33
CFR 325, Appendix C(g)(1) have been met.
Final description of the permit area: All three test have been met and portions of the
larger project undertaken outside of waters of the U.S. are in the permit area.
Activities undertaken outside WOUS are included in the permit area because
those activities are directly associated and integrally related with the authorized
work and those activities would not occur but for the authorization of the work
within the WOUS.
3.3.2 Has another federal agency taken steps to comply with Section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act and completed consultation(s) as required? No.
3.3.3 Known cultural resource sites present and/or survey or other additional information
needed? No. Based on the NCDCR "HPOWEB" service and aerial photographs,
there are no known historic properties located in the permit area or in close
proximity to the permit area.
Effect determination and basis for that determination: The Corps has determined the
proposed activity will have no effect on properties listed or eligible for listing in
the National Register of Historic Places. In a letter to the applicant dated March
5, 2021, the NCSHPO stated "Based on input from the USACE, which determined
the permit area would include only portions along the western edge of the parcel
and the upland areas directly adjacent to the impact area, we have determined
that these areas do not require an archaeological survey."
3.3.4 Consultation was initiated and completed as required with the appropriate agencies,
tribes and/or other parties for any determinations other than "no potential to cause
effects" (see the attached "Summary" sheet for consultation type, begin date, end date
and closure method of the consultation). The Corps has determined that it has fulfilled
its responsibilities under Section 106 of the NHPA.
3.4 Tribal Trust Responsibilities
3.4.1 Was government -to -government consultation conducted with Federally -recognized
Tribe(s)? No. There are no known tribal interests in the project area.
Provide a description of any consultation(s) conducted including results and how
concerns about significant effects to protected tribal resources, tribal rights and/or
Indian lands were addressed. The Corps has determined that it has fulfilled its tribal
trust responsibilities.
3.4.2 Other Tribal including any discussion of Tribal Treaty rights? Select Yes or No.
3.5 Section 401 of the Clean Water Act — Water Quality Certification (WQC)
3.5.1 Is a Section 401 WQC required, and if so, has the certification been issued or waived?
A general WQC has been issued for this permit.
3.6 Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA)
3.6.1 Is a CZMA consistency concurrence required, and if so, has the concurrence been
issued, waived or presumed? N/A, a CZMA consistency concurrence is not
required.
3.7 Wild and Scenic Rivers Act
3.7.1 Is the projectlocated in a component of the National Wild and Scenic River System, or in
a river officially designated by Congress as a "study river" for possible inclusion in the
system? No. According to http://www.rivers.gov, the proposed project area is not
within a designated or study river.
3.8 Effects on Corps Civil Works Projects (33 USC 408)
3.8.1 Does the applicant also require permission under Section 14 of the Rivers and Harbors
Act (33 USC 408) because the activity, in whole or in part, would alter, occupy, or use a
Corps Civil Works project? No, there are no Corps Civil Works project(s) in or near
the vicinity of the proposal.
4.0 Special Conditions
4.1 Are special conditions required to ensure minimal effects, protect the public interest
and/or ensure compliance of the activity with any of the laws above? No.
If no, provide rationale: The terms and conditions of the general permit are
sufficient to ensure no more than minimal adverse effects, and no conditions are
needed for compliance with other laws or to protect the public interest.
5.0 Determination
5.1 Waiver request conclusion, if required or select N/A: N/A.
5.2 The activity will result in no more than minimal individual and cumulative adverse

Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
A. Preliminary Determination
❑ There appear to be waters, including wetlands 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, including wetlands 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 7/9/2020. 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, including wetlands 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, including wetlands 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, including wetlands at the project area, which
is not sufficiently accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision. We recommend that you have the waters,
including wetlands 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 waters, including wetlandson 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, including wetlands 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.

❑ The waters, including wetlands 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, including wetlands 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 (252) 808-2808 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
regarding this determination and/or the Corps regulatory program, please contact Bryan Roden -Reynolds at 704-510-1440 or

' If the navigable water is not subject to the ebb and flow of the tide or included on the District's list of Rivers and Harbors Act Section 10 navigable waters list, do
NOT use this document to make the determination. The District must continue to follow the procedure outlined in 33 CFR part 329.14 to make a Rivers and Harbors
Act Section 10 navigability determination.
s A stand-alone TNW determination is completed independently of a request for an AJD. A stand-alone TNW determination is conducted for a specific segment of river
or stream or other type of waterbody, such as a lake, where upstream or downstream limits or lake borders are established. A stand-alone TNW determination should be
completed following applicable guidance and should NOT be documented on the AJD Form.

4 Some excluded waters, such as (b)(2) and (b)(4), may not be specifically identified on the AJD form unless a requester specifically asks a Corps district to do so.
Corps districts may, in case -by -case instances, choose to identify some or all of these waters within the review area.
s Because of the broad nature of the (b)(1) exclusion and in an effort to collect data on specific types of waters that would be covered by the (b)(1) exclusion, four sub-
categories of (b)(1) exclusions were administratively created for the purposes of the AJD Form. These four sub -categories are not new exclusions, but are simply
administrative distinctions and remain (b)(1) exclusions as defined by the NWPR.
