Therefore, the placement of rip rap protection for the footer, in this area, will yield a small section of permanent impacts on the downstream right bank of Doby Creek at the University Pointe Blvd. crossing. Though unavoidable, we are still under the 300 LF threshold for permanent impacts. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!!!

I found the original JD stuff dated 1/20/2012 so you shouldn't need send me that unless there is a more recent copy. Please provide the completed and signed Preliminary JD form Please provide updated jd maps to reflect the changes we made in the field Please provide a clean copy of the jurisdictional impact maps as I used my copy to make field notes yesterday. Please provide documentation of correspondences with FWS regarding the NLEB. Specifically please provide the project description you sent FWS and their response. And as we discussed NLEB issues that need to be consulted are tree clearing and the bridge replacement. I haven't been through the package in detail and will review it by the end of next week, at which time I'll let you know if there is any additional information required. I think we had a pretty thorough discussion of the project on site, so I'm expecting that I have all the information I need but will let you know if that's not the case. Thanks, Crystal C.

DISTRICT OFFICE, FILE NAME, AND NUMBER:Wilmington District, Asheville Regulatory Field Office, 2012 - 00145; University Pointe Blvd. Extension Project D. PROJECT LOCATION(S) AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Project is proposing a new connector roadway, which will begin at the intersection of IBM Drive and the Martin Middle School Driveway in Charlotte, NC, cross over 1 -85, and connect to the main thoroughfare being constructed as part of the Crescent Resources' Belgate Development and will intersect with IKEA Boulevard and University Pointe Boulevard upon completion. An alternative access road for Charlotte - Mecklenburg Schools has also been proposed to ease traffic congestion and improve safety during school pick -up and drop -off times. The access road will begin approximately 600 feet southeast of Neal Road on the campus of Zebulon Vance High School, cross over Doby Creek, and connect to an existing traffic circle and auxiliary parking lot located on the campus of James Martin Middle School.

See Table at end of document and attached map for additional information. E. REVIEW PERFORMED FOR SITE EVALUATION (CHECK ALL THAT APPLY): ❑ Office (Desk) Determination. Date: ® Field Determination. Date(s): 7/23/2015 1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the United States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party who requested this preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to request and obtain an approved jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site. Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other person who requested this preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain an approved JD in this instance and at this time. 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 approved JD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of the following: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official determination of jurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option to request an approved JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that 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) that 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) that undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting an approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the preliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is practicable; (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 preliminary JD constitutes agreement that all wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that activity are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes 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 approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD will be processed as soon as is practicable. Further, an approved JD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual 2 permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331, and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33 C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessary to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This preliminary JD finds that there "may be" waters of the United States on the subject project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information: SUPPORTING DATA.
