Huntersville and Cornelius, Mecklenburg County, NC
Dear Mr. Brumagin:
J.R. "JOEY" HOPKINS
SECRETARY
NCDOT is submitting the enclosed Section 404/401 Pre -construction Notification (PCN)
reauthorization request for the above -referenced project for your review pursuant to Nationwide
Permit 914 (NWP 14) and Individual 401 Water Quality Certification (IWQC). Authorization is
requested for the proposed extension of Northcross Drive from NC 73 (Sam Furr Road) in
Huntersville to Westmoreland Road in Cornelius, Mecklenburg County, NC. The proposed
extension will also include a I I0-foot bridge over McDowell Creek, realignment of the existing
McDowell Creek Greenway, and a single -lane roundabout at the intersection of Eagleridge Way
Lane and Westmoreland Road. The following information is enclosed:
• Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) Form
• Project Site Figures
• Permit Drawings
• Approved PJD
• Compensatory Mitigation
• USFWS IPaC Resource List
• Indirect and Cumulative Effects Report
Project Background
The purpose of this project is to improve the roadway connectivity within the surrounding area by
providing an alternate north -south route for local traffic parallel to Interstate 77, U.S. 21
(Statesville Road), N.C. 115 (Old Statesville Road), and West Catawba Avenue (S.R. 5544).
Existing north south routes that run through the Town of Cornelius and Town of Huntersville are
congested and used primarily by through traffic and commuters to Charlotte and Statesville.
The original PCN was submitted on 2/5/2020 and approved by the USACE on 3/20/2020. The
PCN expired on 3/18/2022, therefore, NCDOT is seeking reauthorization.

The North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office HPOWEB GIS Service (accessed October
9, 2023) shows no National Register or National Register Study List sites within the project study
area. A Categorical Exclusion (CE) was approved in 2019 with the original permit submittal. An
updated CE is being prepared and will be provided upon approval.
Protected Species
A review of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) database on August 28,
2023, did not indicate known occurrences of threatened or endangered species within the project
boundary. A Natural Resources Technical Report (NRTR) was prepared and submitted for this
project. Biological conclusions of "No Effect" were rendered for all listed botanical species
potentially occurring within the project boundary.
Proposed Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters
The proposed extension and roundabout will result in unavoidable impacts at four impact sites:
• Impact Site 1
o Stream SA — 10 linear feet (LF) of permanent impacts to SA results from rip -rap
embankment protection. 20 LF of temporary impacts are necessary to install an
impervious dike and pumped diversion to perform the construction activity in dry
conditions.
• Impact Site 2
o Stream SA — 16 LF of permanent impacts to SA results from rip -rap embankment
protection. 20 LF of temporary impacts are necessary to install an impervious
dike and pumped diversion to perform the construction activity in dry conditions.
• Impact Site 3
o Stream SA — 12 LF of permanent impacts to SA results from rip -rap embankment
protection. 20 LF of temporary impacts are necessary to install an impervious
dike and pumped diversion to perform the construction activity in dry conditions.
• Impact Site 4
o Stream SB — 225 LF of permanent impacts to SB results from the installation of a
60" reinforced concrete pipe (RCP), including riprap outlet protection. 20 LF of
temporary impacts are necessary to install an impervious dike and pumped
diversion to perform the construction activity in dry conditions.
Overall, impacts associated with the proposed road extension will result in 263 LF/ 0.03-acre of
permanent impacts to non -wetland waters of the U.S.
Avoidance and Minimization
Avoidance and minimization efforts were implemented during development planning and design
to the greatest extent practicable in order to reduce the overall impacts on the aquatic
environment while staying within nationwide permit thresholds. The final plan demonstrates
maximum avoidance and minimization efforts by reducing the proposed stream and wetland

impacts. Impacts to streams within the project area have been avoided and minimized to the
extent practical through design. The footprint of the proposed roadway was specifically aligned to
avoid streams SC and SD. A bridge is proposed over Stream SA (McDowell Creek) to avoid
impacts to the channel bed and banks. Impacts to Stream SB have been minimized to the greatest
extent practicable by proposing a perpendicular crossing and maximizing side slopes at headwall
locations. The 60" RCP will be buried 1-ft below the existing channel bed to promote aquatic
passage. Embankment protection sites have been limited to the lengths necessary to reduce
discharge velocities and maintain bank stability.
Temporary impacts have been minimized to the greatest extent practicable to meet the needs of
the project and do not pose adverse alterations to the existing streams and wetlands. Erosion
control measures implemented during construction will be removed immediately following the
activities and any disturbance will be returned to pre -construction conditions.
Compensatory Mitigation
Compensatory mitigation will be met by the purchase of credits through the NC Division of
Mitigation Services (NCDMS) in -lieu fee program. 225 LF of stream impacts will be mitigated
through the purchase of stream mitigation credits. Based on an NCSAM assessment of Medium
for perennial Stream B, mitigation is proposed at a 2:1 ratio for impacts to this feature, or 450
stream mitigation credits. In total, 450 stream mitigation credits will be purchased to offset
impacts associated with this project. Quality assessment results and the DMS Mitigation
Acceptance Letter are included.
Please feel free to contact me at [phone] if you have any questions or if additional
information is necessary.

E. 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 streams within the project area have been avoided and minimized to the extent practical through design.
The footprint of the proposed roadway was specifically aligned to avoid streams SC and SD. A bridge is proposed
over Stream SA (McDowell Creek) to avoid impacts to the channel bed and banks. Impacts to Stream SB have been
minimized to the greatest extent practicable by proposing a perpendicular crossing and maximizing side slopes at
headwall locations. The 60" RCP will be buried 1-ft below the existing channel bed to promote aquatic passage.
Embankment protection sites have been limited to the lengths necessary to reduce discharge velocities and maintain
bank stability.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Temporary impacts have been minimized to the greatest extent practicable to meet the needs of the project and
do not pose adverse alterations to the existing streams and wetlands. Erosion control measures implemented
during construction will be removed immediately following the activities and any disturbance will be returned to
pre -construction conditions.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S., Waters of the State, or Riparian Buffers

The Revised model which represents the proposed Northcross Drive bridge over McDowell Creek demonstrates
this project would create a maximum increase in base flood level of 0.84 ft at a location directly upstream of the
proposed bridge. This increase does not affect any structures. A floodway revision is necessary for this project,
to show the floodway limits within the proposed bridge opening, as the structure does not overtop during the
base flood event. The revised floodway limits match the effective floodway widths at all other locations except for
at the bridge location.
A CLOMR was submitted on August 18th, 2023. The CLOMR is waiting on the CE Consultation. Once the CE is
approved, the CLOMR will be approved. The CLOMR can be provided upon request.
8c. What source(s) did you use to make the floodplain determination?

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 maps, Sheets 1-4, Figures 1-3a,
dated 2/5/2019. 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.

SAW No. 2019-00199
❑ 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 [phone] 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 Nicholle Braspennickx at 704-510-0162 or
Nicholle.M.Braspennickx.0 s ace.armv.mil.
C. Basis For Determination: Basis For Determination: See the preliminary jurisdictional determination
form dated 04/18/2019.
D. Remarks: None.
E. Attention USDA Program Participants
This delineation/determination has been conducted to identify the limits of Corps' Clean Water Act jurisdiction for the particular site
identified in this request. The delineation/determination may not be valid for the wetland conservation provisions of the Food Security
Act of 1985. If you or your tenant are USDA Program participants, or anticipate participation in USDA programs, you should request
a certified wetland determination from the local office of the Natural Resources Conservation Service, prior to starting work.

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 JD (AJD) for that review area based on an informed decision after having discussed the
various types of JDs 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 AJD 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 AJD
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 AJD
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 JD will be processed as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, 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 AJD 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:

Delineated Streams A-D flow to McDowell Creek which flows to the Catawba River, an
interstate water of the U.S. Corps of Engineers regulations at 33 CFR Part 328.3(a)(5) assert
Clean Water Act (CWA) jurisdiction over tributaries to other waters of the U.S. Therefore,
Streams A-D may be considered waters of the U.S.
Wetlands A & B are adjacent to the above delineated streams. Corps of Engineers regulations at
33 CFR Part 328.3(a)(7) assert CWA jurisdiction over wetlands adjacent to waters of the U.S.
Therefore, Wetlands A & B may be considered waters of the U.S.

IPaC resource list
This report is an automatically generated list of species and other resources such as critical habitat (collectively referred to as trust resources)
under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS)jurisdiction that are known or expected to be on or near the project area referenced below.
The list may also include trust resources that occur outside of the project area, but that could potentially be directly or indirectly affected by
activities in the project area. However, determining the likelihood and extent of effects a project may have on trust resources typically requires
gathering additional site -specific (e.g., vegetation/species surveys) and project -specific (e.g., magnitude and timing of proposed activities)
information.
Below is a summary of the project information you provided and contact information for the WSFWS office(s) with jurisdiction in the defined
project area. Please read the introduction to each section that follows (Endarsgered Species, Migratory Birds, USFWS Facilities, and NWI
Wetlands) for additional information applicable to the trust resources a ressed in that section.

Endangered species
This resource list is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an analysis of project level impacts.
The primary information used to generate this list is the known or expected range of each species. Additional areas of influence (AOI) for
species are also considered. An AOI includes areas outside of the species range if the species could be indirectly affected by activities in that
area (e.g., placing a dam upstream of a fish population even if that fish does not occur at the dam site, may indirectly impact the species by
reducing or eliminating water flow downstream). Because species can move, and site conditions can change, the species on this list are not
guaranteed to be found on or near the project area. To fully determine any potential effects to species, additional site -specific and project -
specific information is often required.

This is not a Bird of Conservation Concern (BCC) in this area, but warrants attention because of the
Eagle Act or for potential susceptibilities in offshore areas from certain types of development or
activities.
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 to interpret this report.
Probability of Presence (■)
Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability 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:
1. 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 week 12 there were 20 survey events and the Spotted Towhee was
https://ipac.ecosphere.fws.gov/location/CHHLTS3YRRHGJOKNXYEKFX5EWQ/resources 3/8

10/10/23, 4:46 PM
IPaC: Explore Location resources
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 (1)
Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the nurn er 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 cursortiver 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 order 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.

Nat does IPaC use to generate the potential presence of bald and golden eagles in my specified location?
The potential for eagle presence is derived from data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey,,,
banding, and citizen science datasets and is queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as occurring in the 10km grid cell(s) which your project

What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs of bald and golden eagles in my specified location?
The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of JSFWS 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 survey, banding, and citizen science datasets and is queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as occurring in the 10km grid cell(s)
which your project intersects, and that have been identified as warranting special attention because they are a BCC 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 list includes only a subset of birds 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) Tool.
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. Please contact
your local Fish and Wildlife Service Field Office if you have questions.
Migratory birds
Certain birds are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act' and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection ACt2.
Any person or organization who plans or conducts activities that may result in impacts to migratory birds, eagles, and their habitats' should
follow appropriate regulations and consider implementing appropriate conservation measures, as described below.
1. The Migratory Birds Treaty Act of 1918.
2. The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act of 1940.

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 to interpret this report.
Probability of Presence (■)
Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability 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:
1. 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 week 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.
https://ipac.ecosphere.fws.gov/location/CHHLTS3YRRHGJOKNXYEKFX5EWQ/resources 5/8

10/10/23, 4:46 PM IPaC: Explore Location resources
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 (1) It
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.
40
To see a bar's survey effort range, simply hover your mouse cursor overe bar.
No Data
A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for hat week.
Survey Timeframe 'M.r
Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order sure delivery of currently relevant information. The exception to this is areas off the
Atlantic coast, where bird returns are, on all years of available data, since data in these areas is currently much more sparse.

Tell me more about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds
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 or bird species present on your project site.
What does IPaC use to generate the list of migratory birds that potentially occur in my specified location?
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 survey, banding, and citizen science datasets and is queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as occurring in the 10km grid cell(s)
which your project intersects, and that have been identified as warranting special attention because they are a BCC species in that area, an eagle (Eagle Act

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); 1k
2. "BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) in th4,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 Eagle 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.

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 ofyour migratory bird trust resources page.

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:

A full description for each wetland code can be found at the National Wetlands Inventory website
NOTE: This ini I Xcrning does not replace an on -site delineation to determine whether wetlands occur. Additional information on the NWI
data 's r de below.
DaFg 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 on 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.

MEMORANDUM
To: Scott Cole, P.E., Division Engineer, NCDOT Division 12
From: Donna Hood, Division of Water Resources
Subject: Response to the Indirect and Cumulative Effects Assessment Northcross Drive Extension,
Mecklenburg County, TIP U-5108.
This office has reviewed the referenced document dated May 7, 2019. The NC Division of Water Resources
(NCDWR) is responsible for the issuance of the Section 401 Water Quality Certification for activities that impact
Waters of the U.S., including wetlands. Under 15A NAC 2H .0500 (.0506[4]), it is the NCDWR's responsibility to
ensure that projects do not result in cumulative effects or cause a violation of downstream water quality based on
reasonably anticipated future impacts.
Upon reviewing the information provided in the referenced document, The NCDWR has concluded that the analysis
performed is sufficient and no further analysis is warranted at this time.. However, please keep us apprised of any
additional information or revisions to the indirect and cumulative impact document(s). This decision is based on
information currently provided to us; this decision may change based on updated or new information.
As described in the report, additional development that occurs as an indirect impact will be covered under state
permitted, locally administered phase II stormwater programs of the Towns of Huntersville and Cornelius. These
programs should address any additional stormwater discharge from anticipated development. However, it is highly
recommended that there be control of access and future development be limited as much as possible to help ensure
the protection of the McDowell Creek Watershed, a major source of surface water to Mountain Island Lake,
drinking water source for the greater Charlotte metropolitan area. Mecklenburg County Land Use and
Environmental Agency has targeted this watershed for protection over the last twenty years by limiting development
and investing in over $15 million public dollars to restore and maintain current conditions.
Thank you for requesting our input at this time. The NCDOT is reminded that issuance of a 401 Water Quality
Certification requires that appropriate measures be instituted to ensure that water quality standards are met and
designated uses are not degraded or lost. If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact
Donna Hood at [phone] or [e-mail].

Project U-5108 i Indirect and Cumulative Effects Report
May 2019

Executive Summary
Scope of Project
NCDOT Project U-5108 proposes to extend Northcross Drive from N.C. 73 to Westmoreland Road in the
towns of Cornelius and Huntersville. The project has a proposed length of approximately 1.7 miles,
including 1 mile on new location and 0.7 miles of improved roadway on existing location (Northcross
Drive on the south and Eagleridge Way Lane on the north). The proposed typical section is a two-lane
undivided road with pedestrian and bicycle facilities.
The purpose of this project is to improve the roadway connectivity within the surrounding area by
providing an alternate north -south route for local traffic parallel to Interstate 77, U.S. 21 (Statesville
Road), N.C. 115 (Old Statesville Road), and West Catawba Avenue. Right of way is scheduled to begin in
fiscal year (FY) 2019, and construction is scheduled to begin in FY 2020 in the NCDOT 2018-2027 STIP.
Indirect Effects Summary
The proposed project would increase accessibility to and through the currently landlocked, undeveloped
site in the Future Land Use Study Area (FLUSA). It is not the only funded project that would provide
access to the site (U-6171, Bailey Road flyover, would provide access to the site from the east), but the
Northcross Drive Extension is scheduled sooner in the STIP than the Bailey Road flyover, and thus would
accelerate opportunity for development. The Northcross Drive Extension may also affect the type of
development on the site.
There are approximately 55 acres in the FLUSA. There is no water or sewer in the FLUSA, but both are
available nearby. There has been no development in the FLUSA, but there has been some development
in the surrounding area. According to the property owner, there has been interest over the past 15
years in either office or residential development on the property within the FLUSA, but there are no
specific plans. The site is zoned Corporate Office.
There are no known protected streams in the FLUSA. There are no buffer rules, but there are land use
plans and zoning plans in place. Stormwater and development regulations are in place in Cornelius,
Huntersville, and Mecklenburg County in addition to NPDES Phase II rules.
The indirect effects matrix indicated that a "Likely Land Use Scenario Assessment" was needed.
Following coordination with NCDOT and the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), it was determined a
Land Use Scenario Assessment will be developed to further investigate potential water quality impacts.
Cumulative Effects Summary
Cumulatively, STIP Project U-5108 and other planned transportation improvements should enhance
mobility and improve travel time locally and regionally. Project impacts will be identified for avoidance,
minimization, and mitigation through the NEPA planning process. Funded adjacent projects include:
• Project U-5765 proposes to widen N.C. 73 from Catawba Avenue to Northcross Drive. Right-of-
way (ROW) is scheduled for fiscal year (FY) 2020 with construction in FY 2022.
Project U-5108 1 Indirect and Cumulative Effects Report
April 2019

• Project 1-5715 proposes to reconfigure the 1-77/N.C. 73 interchange, including improvements on
N.C. 73 from Northcross Drive to U.S. 21. ROW is scheduled for FY 2019 with construction in FY
2020.
• Project 1-5405 will add managed lanes on 1-77 from the Brookshire Freeway to Catawba Avenue.
Construction is underway.
• Project U-6171 proposes to extend Bailey Road from U.S. 21 across 1-77 to the Northcross Drive
Extension. ROW is scheduled for FY 2029 and construction is unfunded.
There are no development plans at this time, but the property owner indicated there has been past
interest in either office or residential development. If Project U-6171 is also built, the flyover will likely
impact some of the currently available property, reducing the extent of development. Depending on the
timing of Project U-6171 in relation to potential development, the Bailey Road flyover in conjunction
with the Northcross Drive Extension may affect the type of development proposed on the site. Water
and sewer are not available in the FLUSA, but both are available nearby.
Project U-5108 2 Indirect and Cumulative Effects Report
April 2019

1. Background
The purpose of this report is to assess potential future land use changes that may result from NCDOT
State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) Project U-5108, indirectly and/or cumulatively.
1.1 Project Overview
NCDOT Project U-5108 proposes to extend Northcross Drive from N.C. 73 to Westmoreland Road in the
towns of Cornelius and Huntersville. Right of way is scheduled to begin in fiscal year (FY) 2019, and
construction is scheduled to begin in FY 2020 in the NCDOT 2018-2027 STIP.
Existing Conditions
Northcross Drive is a north -south road parallel to 1-77 that extends from Stumptown Road
(approximately 1.1 miles south of N.C. 73) to its end approximately 0.5 mile north of N.C. 73. Between
N.C. 73 and the north end of the road, Northcross Drive is a 2-lane undivided road with intermittent
sidewalks. Land uses along Northcross Drive include office parks, medium- and high -density residential
neighborhoods, and small commercial shopping centers.
Proposed Design
The project has a proposed length of approximately 1.7 miles, including 1 mile on new location and 0.7
miles of improved roadway on existing location (Northcross Drive on the south and Eagleridge Way Lane
on the north).
The proposed typical section on the new location portion of the project is a two-lane roadway with 11-
foot lanes which widen to 14.5-foot lanes at the existing Eagleridge Way Lane. A 10-foot wide multi -use
path is proposed between Westmoreland Road and the Westmoreland Athletic Park entrance on
Eagleridge Way Lane. A 5-foot sidewalk, two 11-foot travel lanes, and a 10 to 11-foot wide center left -
turn lane are proposed on the existing Northcross Drive between North Pointe Executive Park Drive and
the beginning of the new location portion of Northcross Drive. The remaining portion of Northcross
drive will be re -surfaced.
Three alignments were considered for the new location section. The preferred alignment was selected
based on cost and impact to nearby property owners.
Project Purpose & Need
The purpose of this project is to improve the roadway connectivity within the surrounding area by
providing an alternate north -south route for local traffic parallel to Interstate 77, U.S. 21 (Statesville
Road), N.C. 115 (Old Statesville Road), and West Catawba Avenue. Existing north -south routes that run
through the Town of Cornelius and Town of Huntersville are congested and used primarily by through
traffic and commuters to Charlotte and Statesville.

The Future Land Use Study Area (FLUSA) (shown on Figure 1) is defined as the area around Project
U-5108 that may be indirectly affected by the actions of others as a result of the construction of this
project and nearby combined projects. Only one property, referred to as the Cooke property, is
anticipated to be subject to potential increase in development pressure as a result of this project. The
FLUSA boundary follows the property boundary which is generally bordered by 1-77 on the east,
McDowell Creek on the north, Robbins Park on the west, and the existing residential and commercial
development on the south.
1.3 Time Horizon
This report considered the potential for land use effects as a result of this project during the period of
time between now and the year 2040, which is the design year of the project. The Town of
Huntersville's Community Plan has a horizon year of 2030.
1.4 Past, Present, and Future Projects
Development Patterns
Development in Cornelius and Huntersville has been primarily to the west (along W. Catawba Avenue),
to the east (between U.S. 21 and N.C. 115), and along major corridors such as N.C. 73. Some residential
neighborhoods have been built, but much of the recent development has been individual and small-
scale shopping and office buildings. None of the recent development has been near the FLUSA.
Residential and Commercial Development Projects
The Cooke property is identified as "Corporate Office" in the Cornelius Land Use Plan, though no specific
development has been proposed. In conversations with the property owner and Cornelius planner,
there is potential for the site to either be developed as office or residential, depending on the type of
access available and market demand at the time of development.
Other Transportation and Infrastructure Projects
• Project U-5765 proposes to widen N.C. 73 from Catawba Avenue to Northcross Drive. Right-of-
way (ROW) is scheduled for fiscal year (FY) 2020 with construction in FY 2022. This project is
outside of the FLUSA but would improve the N.C. 73/Northcross Drive intersection at the
southern terminus of Project U-5108.
• Project 1-5715 proposes to reconfigure the 1-77/N.C. 73 interchange, including improvements on
N.C. 73 from Northcross Drive to U.S. 21. ROW is scheduled for FY 2019 with construction in FY
2020. This project is outside of the FLUSA but would improve N.C. 73 beginning at Northcross
Drive near the southern terminus of Project U-5108.
• Project 1-5405 will add managed lanes on 1-77 from the Brookshire Freeway to Catawba Avenue.
Construction is underway. This project is outside of the FLUSA but would improve 1-77 parallel to
the Northcross Drive Extension.
Project U-5108 4 Indirect and Cumulative Effects Report
April 2019

• Project U-6171 proposes to extend Bailey Road from U.S. 21 across 1-77 to the Northcross Drive
Extension. ROW is scheduled for FY 2029 and construction is unfunded. This project would
terminate within the FLUSA.
2. Transportation Impact Causing Activities
Travel Patterns
The Northcross Drive Extension will provide a new connection from N.C. 73 to Westmoreland Road.
Local planners anticipate that the proposed road will be used primarily as a route for local commuters to
avoid the congested north -south corridors (U.S. 21, W. Catawba Avenue, and 1-77).
Travel Time Savings
The proposed Northcross Drive Extension is anticipated to reduce travel time from N.C. 73 to
Westmoreland Road by approximately 5 minutes. This was calculated by averaging two methods: travel
time savings using the speed limit and an assumed delay at traffic signals and turns indicates a potential
savings of approximately 7 minutes; travel time savings using a Google map estimation indicates a
potential savings of approximately 3 minutes.
Change in Access
The proposed two-lane undivided facility will provide new access to the undeveloped Cooke property.
Currently, Northcross Drive ends just south of the property line, and there is not direct access from any
other public roads.
Land Use or Transportation Node
A new land use node is anticipated on the undeveloped Cooke property. This project is anticipated to
help facilitate that development by providing access into and through the site. One other funded
project, U-6171 (Bailey Road flyover) will also provide access onto the Cooke property but is scheduled
10 years later in the draft STIP than U-5108. In addition, another unfunded local project, an interchange
at Westmoreland Road and I-77, may provide access to the site. The property owner has noted that
development is anticipated regardless of the Northcross Drive Extension project, but that this project is
expected to accelerate the timing and potentially affect the type of development.
3. Existing Environment
Population and Economic Growth
The population in Mecklenburg County is projected to grow by 40.06% between 2017 and 2037, with an
annualized growth rate of 1.70%.
Employment in Mecklenburg County is projected to grow by 16.77% between 2014 and 2024, with an
annualized growth rate of 1.56%. The Charlotte Region, including Cornelius and Huntersville, is within
the Southwest Prosperity Zone.
Project U-5108 5 Indirect and Cumulative Effects Report
April 2019

Availahle 1 and
The FLUSA is comprised of one site (approximately 55 acres) which is entirely undeveloped and
considered to be available.
Municipal Utilities
Water and sewer service is available on Northcross Drive, Eagleridge Way Lane, and in the adjacent
neighborhoods. No service is currently available within the FLUSA.
Notable Features
There are no community features in the FLUSA. Just west of the FLUSA, the McDowell Greenway is
parallel to McDowell Creek. Robbins Park is adjacent to the FLUSA and includes primarily passive
recreational uses.
One known stream, an unnamed tributary (UT) to McDowell Creek, is in the FLUSA. There are no
wetlands or ponds on the FLUSA based on GIS mapping. No impacts are anticipated to any of these
resources within the FLUSA as a result of the Northcross Drive Extension. Outside of the FLUSA, impacts
to McDowell Creek are anticipated to be less than 50 feet since the design proposes a bridge crossing at
this location. Two other streams outside of the FLUSA are anticipated to be impacted: approximately
250 feet of impacts of another UT are anticipated to construct a new pipe, and approximately 80 feet of
impacts are anticipated to a third UT due to the realignment of the existing greenway underneath the
proposed roadway bridge.
This project lies within the Catawba River Basin, including Hydrological Unit Code (HUC) 03050101.
There are no designated Primary Nursery Areas, anadromous fish waters, designated High Quality
Waters, or water supply watersheds in or within 1.0 mile downstream of the study area. No streams
within the study area, or within 1.0 mile downstream of the study area, are identified on the North
Carolina 303(d) list of impaired waters for sedimentation or turbidity. However, the stream in the FLUSA
is an unnamed tributary to McDowell Creek, which is on the 303(d) list for impairments related to
biological integrity, and most of the McDowell Creek Watershed has been designated as a Water Supply
Watershed.
4. Market for Development
Planning staff from the Towns of Cornelius and Huntersville and several property owners were
consulted to identify specific transportation and development projects in the FLUSA (copies of
communications are in the Appendix).
Local planners expect that the type and pace of development in the FLUSA will be determined by the
timing of access to and through the property, as well as market pressures at the time of development. It
is anticipated that the Northcross Drive Extension project will accelerate opportunity for development
on the Cooke property. According to the property owner, the market pressure has varied over the past
Project U-5108 6 Indirect and Cumulative Effects Report
April 2019

decade from office pre -recession to residential more recently. The current zoning is office/business with
residential development secondary.
5. Development Regulations
State and Federal Environmental Regulations
New developments may be required to obtain a Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 404 Permit from the US
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and a concurrent CWA Section 401 Water Quality Certification from
NCDWQ. A Section 404 permit is required when discharging dredged or fill materials into waters of the
United States, including wetlands. Activities regulated under this program include fills for development,
water resource projects (e.g., dams and levees), infrastructure development (e.g., highways and
airports), and conversion of wetlands to uplands for farming and forestry.
In 1972, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System NPDES was established under the authority
of the Clean Water Act. Phase I of the NPDES stormwater program was established in 1990 by the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It requires NPDES permit coverage for large or medium
municipalities with populations of 100,000 or more. In North Carolina, there are six Phase I
communities. The Phase 11 program extends permit coverage to smaller (< 100,000) communities and
public entities that own or operate a municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) by requiring them to
apply for and obtain a NPDES permit for stormwater discharge. Federal law requires communities and
public entities that own or operate a MS4, and that meet either of the following two conditions, to
obtain a NPDES Phase 11 stormwater permit:
1) The MS4 is located in an urbanized area as determined by the latest Decennial Census of the
Bureau of the Census. If the MS4 is not located entirely within an urbanized area, only the portion
that is within the urbanized area is regulated.
2) The community or public entity is designated by the NPDES permitting authority. In the state of
North Carolina, the NPDES permitting authority is the Environmental Management Commission
(EMC).
According to the EPA, Cornelius and Huntersville are designated as NPDES Permitted Phase II MS4
Communities. Therefore, development in the FLUSA is required to obtain Phase II NPDES permit
coverage for their stormwater discharges. To obtain a permit, municipalities or developers must submit
an application at least 180 days prior to discharge, and permits must be updated every five years.
Publicly owned treatment plants are required to meet standards for biochemical oxygen demand (BOD),
total suspended solids (TSS), pH, and percent removal. Non -municipal dischargers must comply with a
level of treatment performance equivalent to "Best Available Technology Economically Achievable
(BAT)" for existing sources and "New Source Performance Standards (NSPS)" for new sources. Details of
these requirements are available on the EPA's Water Permits Division website.
In addition, NPDES Phase II requires the following post construction site stormwater controls:
Project U-5108 7 Indirect and Cumulative Effects Report
April 2019

• Develop and implement strategies which include a combination of structural and/or non-
structural best management practices (BMPs)
• Adopt an ordinance or other regulatory mechanism requiring the implementation of post -
construction runoff controls to the extent allowable under State or local law
• Ensure adequate long-term operation and maintenance of controls
• Determine the appropriate BMPs and measurable goals to achieve this program control
measure
Local Environmental Regulations
The Towns of Cornelius and Huntersville each have a floodplain regulation, post -construction
stormwater ordinance, stormwater management permit requirement, and watershed protection
restriction. Huntersville also has a low impact development manual.
In addition, Mecklenburg County has a surface water pollution control ordinance, and a soil erosion and
sedimentation control ordinance.
Local Planning Ordinances and Regulations
Zoning regulations within the FLUSA are implemented by the Town of Cornelius. The FLUSA is zoned as
"Business Campus" and is shown as "Corporate Office" in the Cornelius Land Use Plan. According to the
Cornelius Land Use Plan, the Corporate Office category is applied to areas where it is expected office -
oriented businesses will be concentrated. Industrial uses are not to be included, but a small level of
residential activity may be included as a secondary use. Typical development characteristics are 1-4
story building heights, residential densities no more than 10% of overall floor area, and 0.25-0.75 floor
area ratio (FAR) for non-residential intensities.
6. Indirect and Cumulative Effects Screening
Indirect Effects Matrix
The criteria shown on the Indirect Effects Matrix (Table 1) have been documented to influence land
development decisions in numerous areas statewide and nationally. Each criterion is assessed
individually, with the "Scope of the Project" and "Travel Time Savings" criteria given extra weight to
determine if future growth in the area is related to modifications created by the project. Upon
completion of the matrix, the total score yielded is thus indicative of the overall likelihood that a project
will have indirect and cumulative effects on land use decisions in that project area.
Results of the matrix for Project U-5108 are provided in Table 1, and a summary of reasoning for the
rating awarded in each of the nine categories is included below.

Indirect Effects Matrix Results
Based on the information gathered from local land use and transportation plans, city planners and
engineers, mapping, and field visits, the matrix resulted in a total score of 25 points and indicated a
"Likely Land Use Scenario Assessment" was needed.
Summary of Indirect Effects Screening Assessment Criteria
The following section lists the rating awarded, references text from the NCDOT guidance related to that
rating, and gives a brief summary about the project specifics within each category.
Scope of Project ("High"). This project proposes to construct a two-lane road partially on new location
and partially on existing location. It would increase accessibility and, based on conversations with the
property owner, is likely to affect timing and may affect type of development within the FLUSA.
NCDOT Guidance: High = Linear project on new location that would significantly increase
accessibility and create land use nodes, encouraging development
Travel Time Savings ("Medium"). Local planners anticipate that the proposed road will be used
primarily as a route for local commuters to avoid the congested north -south corridors (U.S. 21, W.
Catawba Avenue, and 1-77). The proposed Northcross Drive Extension is anticipated to reduce travel
time from N.C. 73 to Westmoreland Road by approximately 5 minutes.
NCDOT Guidance: Medium = 3-6 minutes, Medium -Low = 0-3 minutes
Forecasted Population Growth ("Medium"). Population from 2017 to 2037 is projected to grow at an
annual rate of 1.70%.
NCDOT Guidance: Medium = >1% - 2%
Forecasted Employment Growth ("Medium"). Employment from 2014 to 2024 is projected to grow at
an annual growth rate of 1.56%.
NCDOT Guidance: Medium = >1% - 2%
Project U-5108 9 Indirect and Cumulative Effects Report
April 2019

Available Land ("High"). There are approximately 55 acres in the FLUSA, all of which is undeveloped.
NCDOT Guidance: High = 40% or greater
Water/Sewer Availability ("Medium -High"). There is no water and sewer within the FLUSA.
NCDOT Guidance: Low = 0-20% of the FLUSA served
Market for Development ("Medium"). There has been no development in the FLUSA, but there has
been some development in the surrounding area, primarily low -density residential neighborhoods and
individual commercial sites. According to the property owner, there has been interest over the past 15
years in development on the property within the FLUSA, but there are no specific plans.
NCDOT Guidance: Medium -Low = No observed development activity, but plans and/or
permits for development based on interviews with local zoning and permitting staff
and/or trends surrounding the FLUSA
Public Policy ("Medium"). There are no buffer rules, but there are land use plans and zoning plans in
place. Stormwater and development regulations are in place in Cornelius, Huntersville, and Mecklenburg
County.
NCDOT Guidance: Medium = Policies and regulations are in place but are not restrictive
(e.g., zoning ordinance prohibits development in stream buffers)
Notable Environmental Features ("Medium -Low"). There are no protected streams, and no effect is
expected on threatened and endangered species habitat from the Northcross Drive Extension.
NCDOT Guidance: Medium -Low = Small-scale intact habitat with wildlife not listed as
threatened or endangered, streams (Class 8)
Indirect Effects Summa
The proposed project would increase accessibility to and through the currently landlocked, undeveloped
site in the FLUSA. It is not the only funded project that would provide access to the site (U-6171, Bailey
Road flyover would provide access to the site from the east), but the Northcross Drive Extension is
scheduled sooner in the STIP than the Bailey Road flyover, and thus would accelerate opportunity for
development. The Northcross Drive Extension may also affect the type of development on the site.
There are approximately 55 acres in the FLUSA. There is no water or sewer in the FLUSA, but both are
available nearby. There has been no development in the FLUSA, but the surrounding area is primarily
built -out. According to the property owner, there has been interest over the past 15 years in either
office or residential development on the property within the FLUSA, but there are no specific plans. The
site is zoned Corporate Office.
There are no known protected streams in the FLUSA, although the known stream within the FLUSA flows
to McDowell Creek which is on the 303(d) list, and most of the McDowell Creek Watershed has been
designated as a Water Supply Watershed. There are no buffer rules, but there are land use plans and
Project U-5108 10 Indirect and Cumulative Effects Report
April 2019

zoning plans in place. Stormwater and development regulations are in place in Cornelius, Huntersville,
and Mecklenburg County in addition to NPDES Phase II rules.
The indirect effects matrix indicated that a "Likely Land Use Scenario Assessment" was needed.
Following coordination with NCDOT and the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), it was determined
that a Land Use Scenario Assessment will be developed to further investigate potential water quality
impacts.
7. Water Quality Statement
All of the land within the probable development area is in the Catawba River Basin. One known stream,
a UT to McDowell Creek, is in the FLUSA. There are no known wetlands or ponds in the FLUSA based on
GIS mapping. There are no designated Primary Nursery Areas, anadromous fish waters, designated High
Quality Waters, or water supply watersheds in or within 1.0-mile downstream of the study area. No
streams within the study area, or within 1.0-mile downstream of the study area, are identified on the
North Carolina 303(d) list of impaired waters for sedimentation or turbidity.
New developments may be required to obtain a Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 404 permit from USACE
and a concurrent CWA Section 401 Water Quality Certification from NCDEQ.
The FLUSA is within Cornelius, which is designated as NPDES Phase II areas. This designation requires
local governments to adopt a post -construction stormwater ordinance and developers to obtain a
NPDES Phase II Stormwater Permit. Additional stormwater and development regulations are in place in
Cornelius, Huntersville, and Mecklenburg County.
8. Cumulative Effects
Past Proiects
There has not been any development in the FLUSA.
Current Project
Project U-5108 has a proposed length of approximately 1.7 miles, including 1 mile on new location and
0.7 miles of improved roadway on existing location (Northcross Drive on the south and Eagleridge Way
Lane on the north).
Future Proiects
There are no known development projects within or nearby the FLUSA. Four funded transportation
projects are proposed within or nearby the FLUSA.
• Project U-5765 proposes to widen N.C. 73 from Catawba Avenue to Northcross Drive. Right-of-
way (ROW) is scheduled for fiscal year (FY) 2020 with construction in FY 2022.
Project U-5108 11 Indirect and Cumulative Effects Report
April 2019

• Project 1-5715 proposes to reconfigure the 1-77/N.C. 73 interchange, including improvements on
N.C. 73 from Northcross Drive to U.S. 21. ROW is scheduled for FY 2019 with construction in FY
2020.
• Project 1-5405 will add managed lanes on 1-77 from the Brookshire Freeway to Catawba Avenue.
Construction is underway.
• Project U-6171 proposes to extend Bailey Road from U.S. 21 across 1-77 to the Northcross Drive
Extension. ROW is scheduled for FY 2029 and construction is unfunded.
Notable Environmental Resources
There is one known stream within the FLUSA based on NCDEQ mapping, and no wetlands or ponds
based on NWI mapping.
Imaact on Environmental Resources
The Northcross Drive Extension would not cross any streams, wetlands, or ponds within the FLUSA. No
effect is expected on threatened and endangered species habitat.
There are approximately 55 acres of land in the FLUSA, all of which is available for development. There
are no development plans at this time. Based on restrictions in the Cornelius Land Use Plan, a maximum
of approximately 41 acres could be built out within the FLUSA.
According to the EPA, Cornelius and Huntersville are designated as NPDES Permitted Phase II MS4
Communities. Therefore, development within the FLUSA is required to obtain Phase II NPDES permit
coverage for their stormwater discharges. Additional stormwater and development regulations are in
place in Cornelius, Huntersville, and Mecklenburg County.
Cumulative Effects Summary
Cumulatively, STIP Project U-5108 and other planned transportation improvements should enhance
mobility and improve travel time locally and regionally.
There are no plans at this time, but the property owner indicated there has been past interest in either
office or residential development. If Project U-6171 is also built, the flyover will likely impact some of
the currently available property, reducing the extent of development. Depending on the timing of
Project U-6171 in relation to potential development, the Bailey Road flyover in conjunction with the
Northcross Drive Extension may affect the type of development proposed on the site. Water and sewer
are not available in the FLUSA, but both are available nearby.
Direct natural environmental impacts by NCDOT projects will be addressed by avoidance, minimization,
or mitigation, consistent with programmatic agreements with the natural resource agencies during the
Merger and Permitting processes. All developments will be required to follow local, state, and federal
guidelines and permitting regulations.

• There is local concern an interchange at Westmoreland Road will dump traffic into the
neighborhoods to the northeast.
• Neighborhoods on the west are concerned about losing their easy flyover access across 1-77
(Bailey Road would help mitigate that concern).
• New developments are being requested (there has been a recent uptick in requests) on US 21
and on Bailey Road/NC 115. These include 7 commercial and 1 residential site.
• The 1-5715 interchange may affect the ACN property (southeast quadrant of 1-77/Westmoreland
Road) and Cooke West property (southwest quadrant of 1-77/Westmoreland Road).

• The MTP includes an additional general purpose (GP) lane in each direction on 1-77 north of
Catawba Avenue, but these were excluded in the contract with 1-77 Mobility Partners.
• CRTPO has designated $3 million in toll bonus allocation funds to study 1-77 from Rock Hill to
Statesville.
• Huntersville has done several local plans proposing transportation improvements (thoroughfare
plan, small area plans). Rich Hatchet Road is proposed to be realigned. May need additional
north -south connections.
• There are some HUD Section 8 housing areas in the study area.
• See the Mecklenburg County Quality of Life Study.

• AAC owns the Northcross Shopping Center in the northeast quadrant of the 1-77/NC 73
interchange.
• The shopping center is built out. Some redevelopment is possible, but likely would not be
affected by either proposed alternative. If Chick-fil-A or McDonald's is impacted by the
interchange project, there is a potential to relocate it to a different outparcel within the
Northcross Shopping Center.
• As shown on the NC 73/US 21 Transportation and Land Use Vision Small Area Plan (January
2006), several internal access roads are proposed to be converted into Town streets, creating a
strong network of streets through the northeast and southeast quadrants of this interchange.
This, in addition to the split diamond interchange concept, would help distribute traffic through
and into/out of this area. The 2006 plan proposed east -west crossovers further north than
either of the current alternatives, and in approximately the same location on the south as Alt 3.
However, he felt that any of the alternatives would accomplish the same general purpose as the
original plan.

November 11, 2015
• Birkdale Village is on the north side of NC 73, west of 1-77.
• Huntersville is willing to create a vehicle connection where there is currently a pedestrian
connection from Birkdale Village to Northcross Drive. The Town will wait until Northcross Drive
is extended north (currently a project by NCDOT). Birkdale supports that connection.
• If there is a new connection from Birkdale to Northcross, she feels that connecting Northcross
Drive to US 21 would provide traffic benefits by offering a more robust network, especially
across 1-77. She does not have a preferred alternative without understanding the impacts.
• She feels the project should have an overall benefit to those who live, shop, and work in
Birkdale Village.
• Birkdale Village (52 acres) is built out. A couple of sections that DDR does not own may
eventually be bought and developed by Birkdale, but there are no current plans. Birkdale will
likely redevelop within its current limits.

October 2R- 2n 1 S
• The Cooke family has tried to develop their 86-acre property west of 1-77 as a commercial land
use, but was not able to find financing (joint venture). They then moved forward with a
residential land use, but that developer did not pursue the property after the Northcross Drive
extension location was moved further from 1-77.
• They proposed a new interchange to replace Westmoreland. Their engineers looked at a
crossing further south, and determined it would be feasible to build a new interchange closer to
Sam Furr Road that would have fewer impacts than at Westmoreland Road. They provided a
sketch, which also showed a new east -west connector from W. Catawba Avenue to Bailey Road.
The new connector would help with east -west mobility across 1-77.
• They said that the Town feels the Northcross Drive extension would facilitate commercial land
uses in this area, but the Cookes disagree based on research and conversations with commercial
developers. The Cookes have requested to the Town that Northcross extension move closer to I-
77 to increase use of the land.
• Likelihood of development with no new interchange at Westmoreland Road, but with extension
of Northcross Drive:
o Residential is a highly attractive use. However, the property would not have easy access
from 1-77. They are concerned residents would not want to live near the proposed
Bailey Road flyover bridge or immediately adjacent to 1-77.
o There is a zoning constraint if they want to build residential. The Town has so far
verbally been disinclined to grant a variance because they would prefer the land to
develop commercially. The Town told Urban Land Institute (ULI) they were hoping to
attract more office as well.
o Office is unlikely because guests would have to go through residential areas to access
the property (via Northcross Drive extension).
• Likelihood of development with interchange at Westmoreland Road and Northcross Drive
extension: They feel that this is the same as without an interchange, since Northcross Drive
Project U-5108 A-3 Indirect and Cumulative Effects Report
Appendix

would be an indirect, relatively small road going through a residential area as their primary
access.
• Likelihood of development with the ULI interchange alternative:
o Office campus design was originally evaluated. At that time, there was an abundance of
empty office space in this area of the county. In recent years, the demand for office
space seems to have picked up. However, most companies want their corporate campus
to be easily accessible for staff and guests, and so office use is more likely if there is an
interchange directly connecting the land.
o Having a major road through the property would be difficult from a pedestrian
perspective.
o They are concerned that requiring drivers to return to the interstate a different way
than they came will be confusing and discourage patrons.
o They felt that they would likely develop their land with a higher intensity than without
an interchange, but it is "not optimal."
o They suggested using typical diamond ramps with the ULI alternative to allow for an
overpass to be built at a future time to complete the interchange. Their designer, Ramey
Kemp, felt a bridge could be built south of the power lines. ULI did not include a new
bridge in order to save money.
• Likelihood of development with the Cooke interchange alternative:
o They felt this was the best way to open up the property for development according to
the Town's vision (mixed use, high end headquarter/corporate uses, commercial, etc.).
o Their plan predated the ULI alternative, but the Town had not supported their plan
previously. The ULI alternative incorporates many of their suggested plan elements.
• The contract with the 1-77 Mobility Partners allows the additional interchange to be within 2,000
feet of Westmoreland Road, so the Cooke alternative would be acceptable.
• A recent marketing study showed more demand for office than retail on the Augustalee
property. ULI assumed office would drive development with supporting retail and residential.
