NORTH CAROLINA . SOUTH CAROLINA WWW.CWS- INC.NET UNC Charlotte Davis Lake Site November 12, 2015 Section 404 Individual Permit Application CWS Pro iect No 2015 -3551 According to the Soil Survey of Mecklenburg County' (Figures 5 and 6, attached), on -site soils consist of Urban land (Ur), Wilkes loam, 15 to 25 percent slopes (WkE), and Wilkes loam, 25 to 45 percent slopes (WkF). Urban land soils consist of an impervious layer over human transported materials. Wilkes soils are well - drained soils. None of the on -site soils are listed on the North Carolina Hydric Soils List for Mecklenburg Countyz or on the National Hydric Soils List for Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.3 Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Floodplams The project is not located within the FEMA regulated 100 -year floodplain (Figure 7, attached) Jurisdictional Delineation On May 29, 2014, CWS scientists Thomas Blackwell, Professional Wetland Scientist (PWS), and Kelly Thames, Wetland Professional in Training (WPIT) delineated jurisdictional waters of the U.S. within the project area (Figure 8, attached). Jurisdictional areas were delineated (flagged in the field), classified, and surveyed with a sub -meter Trimble Geo -XT GPS unit using the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) Routine On -Site Determination Method. This method is defined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manua14, the 2007 USACE Jurisdictional Determination Form Instructional Guidebooks, with further technical guidance from the Eastern Mountains and Piedmont Regional Supplement6, dated April 2012. Jurisdictional stream channels were classified according to recent USACE and North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) guidance. These classifications included sampling with a D- shaped dip net, taking photographs, and defining approximate breakpoints (location at which a channel changes classification) within each on -site stream channel. On July 15, 2015, Mr. Gregg Antemann, Ms. Kelly Thames, and Ms. Aliisa Har uniemi of CWS met on -site with Mr. William Elliott with the USACE and Mr. Alan Johnson with the NCDWR. During this site meeting, Mr. Elliott (USACE) and Mr. Johnson (NCDWR) field- verified the extent of the jurisdictional waters of the U.S. as depicted in Figure 8, attached. Results The results of the on -site field investigation conducted by CWS indicate that there are two jurisdictional stream channels (Streams A and B), two jurisdictional wetland areas (Wetlands AA and BB), and one jurisdictional pond (Pond A) located within the project area (Figure 8, attached). On -site jurisdictional streams include unnamed tributaries (UTs) to Toby Creek. Toby Creek is part of the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin (HUC# 03040105)' and is classified as "Class C Waters" by the NCDWR. According to the NCDWR, Class C Waters are defined as: "Waters protected for uses such as secondary recreation, fishing, wildlife, fish consumption, aquatic life including propagation, survival and maintenance of biological integrity, and agriculture."

Seasonal Relatively Permanent Waters Seasonal RPWs are those streams that exhibit flow seasonally. This flow regime is the result of a lowering of the water table during dry periods that stops groundwater discharge to the stream channel. Seasonal streams do not typically support aquatic life white require year -round flow for reproductive and maturation life stages. Stream A originates off site and flows west along the middle of the property for approximately 264 linear feet until flowing into Pond A. Stream A exits Pond A and flows for another 309 linear feet before continuing to an off -site confluence with Toby Creek (Figure 8). Stream A was classified as a Relatively Permanent Water with Seasonal Flow (RPW) according to USACE/EPA guidance. Stream A scored 52 out of a possible 100 points on the USACE Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet and 25 out of a possible 63 points on the NCDWR Stream Classification Form, indicating seasonal status (SCP1, attached). Stream A exhibits a three to five foot average ordinary high water width, and substrate consisting of cobble and gravel with bedrock outcrops. Photographs A and B (attached) are representative of Seasonal RPW Stream A. Stream B originates off site and flows northwest across the project area for approximately 247 linear feet before its confluence with Seasonal RPW Stream A (Figure 8, attached). Stream B was classified 8 Classifications of streams include Traditionally Navigable Waters (TNWs), Relatively Permanent Waters (RPWs), and Non - Relatively Permanent Waters (Non- RPWs). Subcategories of RPWs include perennial streams that typically have year -round flow, and seasonal streams that have continuous flow at least seasonally. Two classifications of jurisdictional wetlands are used to describe proximity and connection to TNWs. These classifications include either adjacent or directly abutting Adjacent wetlands are defined as wetlands within floodplains or in close proximity to a TNW but without a direct visible connection. Abutting wetlands have a direct surface water connection traceable to a TNW. UNC Charlotte Davis Lake Site November 12, 2015 Section 404 Individual Permit Aualication CWS Protect No. 2015 -3551 as a Relatively Permanent. Water with seasonal flow (Seasonal, RPW) according to USACE/EPA guidance. Seasonal RPW Stream B scored 37 out of a possible 100 points on the USACE Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet and 29.5 out of a possible 63 points on the NCDWR Stream Classification Form, indicating intermittent status (SCP2), attached. Stream B exhibits moderate continuity of channel bed and bank, weak sinuosity, weak flow, and ordinary high water widths of three feet. Biological sampling within Stream B revealed a weak presence of macrobenthos. Stream characteristics indicate that continuous flow is present for at least three months in a typical year. Photographs C and D (attached) are representative of Seasonal RPW Stream B. Wetlands The USACE and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) define wetlands as: "Those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions.s9 The USACE uses three parameters to identify jurisdictional wetlands. These parameters are as follows: 1) Hydrophytic Vegetation, 2) Wetland Hydrology, and 3) Hydric Soils. All three parameters must be present in order for an area to be determined to be a jurisdictional wetland. This section describes each on -site jurisdictional wetland and the field observations that led to their determinations.-. Wetlands AA and BB are forested wetlands (PF01B) approximately 0.092 and 0.015 acre in extent, respectively. Wetlands AA and BB are located directly abutting Seasonal RPW Stream A in the eastern portion of the site (Figure 8, attached). Wetlands AA and BB contain low chroma soils (Gley 1 3 /10Y), saturation within the upper 12 inches of the soil profile, oxidized rhizospheres on living roots, water - stained leaves, and wetland drainage patterns. Dominant vegetation in this wetland includes river birch (Betula nigra), red maple (Acer rubrum), bald cypress (Taxodium distichum), blue flag iris (Iris versicolor), giant goldenrod (Solidago gigantea), fringed sedge (Carex crinita), Japanese stilt grass (Microstegium vimineum), and false nettle (Boehmeria cylindrica). A Wetland Determination Data Form representative of Wetlands AA and BB is attached as DP2. Photographs E and F (attached) are representative of Wetlands AA and BB, respectively. Ponds Pond A (Figure 8, attached) is an impoundment of Seasonal RPW Stream A and is therefore jurisdictional. Pond A is located in the middle portion of the property and is 0.68 acres in extent. Photographs G and H (attached) are representative of Pond A. - Agency Correspondence Cultural Resources - CWS consulted the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) online GIS service10 and found no sites of architectural, historical, or archaeological significance within the project limits. Additionally, a letter was forwarded to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on June- 5, 2014 to determine the presence of any areas of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance that would be affected by the project. On July 8, 2014, a response from SHPO stated, "We have conducted a review of the project and are aware of no historic resources which would be affected by the project. Therefore, we have no comment on the project as proposed. ", ' Environmental Laboratory 1987.

Accessed June 17, 2014. 4 UNC Charlotte Davis Lake Site November 12, 2015 Section 404 Individual Permit Application CWS Project No. 2015 -3551 Protected Species CWS scientists Thomas Blackwell, PWS, and Kelly Thames, WPIT, conducted an assessment of the project area on May 29, 2014. Transects were surveyed in areas identified as potential habitat for possible protected species located in the area (Smooth purple coneflower [Echinacea laevigata], Schweinitz's sunflower [Helianthus schweinitzii], Carolina heelsplitter [Lasmigona decorate], Michaux's sumac [Rhus michauxii], and Georgia aster [Symphyotichum georgianum]). The survey determined that none of the aforementioned protected species occur within the Davis Lake project limits. Additionally, CWS performed a data review using North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) Data Explorer11 on October 28, 2015 to determine the presence of any federally - listed, candidate endangered, threatened species, or critical habitat located within the project area. Based on this review, there are no records of federally - protected species within the project limits or within a mile of the project site. A copy of the data review report is attached. The Northern long -eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) is one of the species of bats most impacted by the white -nose syndrome disease. Habitat for the Northern long -eared bat includes forested areas of any age, rocky areas with boulders, and culverts greater than four feet wide. Due to recent population declines of almost 89% caused by white -nose syndrome and continued spread of the disease, the Northern long -eared bat now receives protection as a Threatened species under the Endangered Species Act. A Threatened species is defined as a taxon likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range12. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) is requesting the documentation of amount of wooded acres cleared in connection with any construction project that takes place within any county shown on the June 30, 2015 White -Nose Syndrome Buffer Zone Map, attached. This project takes place within the Northern long -eared bat habitat range. Due to the nature of this stormwater maintenance project, approximately 0.25 acre of wooded area will be cleared for this project. Therefore, it is unlikely that this project will have a negative effect of this species populations. Please note that no physical surveying for potential habitat within this project has been included in this scope at this time. Purpose and Need for the Project UNC Charlotte has a goal of creating a stormwater management program in order to provide treatment of runoff from impervious areas created by future development. Their proactive approach includes providing water quality treatment and stormwater opportunities prior to future development. The purpose of this project is to retrofit an existing pond into a stormwater BMP to treat runoff from surrounding and adjacent impervious areas (Figures 9 and 10, attached). Moreover, native wetland plants will be utilized on the proposed littoral shelf to provide additional water quality treatment and aesthetic values (Figure 10, attached). This proactive approach is a step forward in UNC Charlotte's stormwater management program and will ensure that future development on campus will not cause a negative impact to on -site and downstream waters. 11 North Carolina Natural Heritage Data Explorer, https- / /ncnhde.natureserve org/ Accessed September 28, 2015.

Endangered Species Act http: / /www.fws gov /endangered/laws- policies/ 5 UNC Charlotte Davis Lake Site November 12, 2015 Section 404 Individual Permit Analication CWS Proiect No. 2015 -3551 Alternatives Analysis Dewberry Engineers Inc. researched the possibility of utilizing the existing wetland as the forebay for water quality treatment in lieu of the traditional open water forebay design. However, due to the necessary depth requirements, the existing wetland is not deep enough, shaped appropriately, or large enough to be utilized as a forebay. Therefore, this alternative was determined to not be practicable as the goal of the retrofit is to provide adequate water quality treatment. Leaving the wetland in -situ as a forebay would reduce the water quality treatment functionality of the design and would facilitate increased inputs to the main pond. The proposed forebay is designed to capture and settle out sediments prior to entering the main pond and is sized according to the capacity required of the proposed retrofit (Figure 9, attached) Avoidance and Minimization Impacts to on -site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent practicable. Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be applied to minimize disturbances to downstream waters. No impact to downstream waters is proposed. The excavation for the stormwater management pond construction will be completed with equipment operating from upland areas. Removed sediments will be hauled off site. All disturbed areas will be seeded and matted with natural fiber matting. CWS believes the proposed design represents the least damaging environmental alternative while still meeting the goals of the project. The proposed impacts are designed to improve storm water management and water quality treatment of stormwater runoff. Proposed Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters Permanent impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. associated with this project are limited to a total of 0.68 acre of a jurisdictional pond due its conversion to stormwater management facility, 82 linear feet (If) of jurisdictional stream channel, and less than 0.1 acre of wetland areas due excavation associated with the stormwater management facility construction (Figure 9, attached). Pond Conversion to a Stormwater Management Facility The existing 0.68 acre pond (Pond A) is proposed to be converted to a stormwater management facility. The proposed new pond will have a pool surface area of 0.64 acre at normal pool elevation. Pond A will partially filled due the construction of a littoral shelf, while the eastern portion will be expanded by excavation. Therefore, total permanent loss of pond area totals 0.04 acre (Figure 9, attached). Excavation of accumulated sediments (pond maintenance) from the bed of the lake is necessary, and will ultimately deepen the lake to increase detention capacity. During this process, the littoral shelf will be constructed. The proposed littoral shelf will be planted with native wetland species (Figure 10, attached). This stormwater feature improve water quality of stormwater runoff by filtration. UNC Charlotte Davis Lake Site November 12, 2015 Section 404 Individual Permit Application CWS Proiect No. 2015 -3551 Wetland and Stream Impacts The eastern portion of the proposed stormwater management pond will be expanded by excavation and this will impact 82 linear feet of a seasonal stream channel (Stream A) and 0.099 acre of jurisdictional wetlands (Wetland AA and Wetland BB). These impacts to the jurisdictional stream and wetlands are necessary to construct the proposed forebay for the stormwater management facility (Figure 9, attached). The proposed forebay is designed to capture and settle out sediments prior to entering the main pond and is sized according to the capacity required of the proposed retrofit.

Compensatory Mitigation Permanent impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been limited to less than 0.1 acre of wetland impacts and less than 150 linear feet of stream channel due to excavation. Due to the limited impacts and current USACE and NCDWR policy to allow impacts to open water ponds without providing compensatory mitigation, no mitigation is proposed for these impacts.

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 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. 3 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: IMPORTANT NOTE: The information recorded on this form' has not necessarily been verified by the Corps and should not be relied upon for later jurisdictional determinations. ; 11 /12 /I5 i Signature and date of 'Signature and date of ' Regulatory Project Manager person requesting preliminary JD- (REQUIRED) (REQUIRED, unless obtaining the signature is impracticable);.

Vicinity Map for more details. 18. Nature of Activity (Description of project, include all features) The purpose of this project includes retrofitting an existing pond into a stormwater BMP to treat runoff from on -site impervious areas. Please see attached letter report for details. 19. Project Purpose (Describe the reason or purpose of the project, see Instructions) UNC Charlotte has a goal of creating a stormwater management plan in order to provide treatment of runoff from impervious areas created by future development. Their proactive approach includes providing on -site water quality treatment and stormwater opportunities prior to future development. The purpose of this project is to retrofit an existing pond into a stormwater BMP to treat runoff from surrounding and adjacent impervious areas (Figures 9 and 10, attached). Moreover, native wetland plants will be utilized on the proposed littoral shelf to provide additional water quality treatment and aesthetic values (Figure 10, attached). This proactive approach is a step forward in UNC Charlotte's stormwater management program and will ensure that future development on campus will not cause a negative impact to on -site and downstream waters. USE BLOCKS 20 -231F DREDGED ANDIOR FILL MATERIAL IS TO BE DISCHARGED 20. Reason(s) for Discharge Permanent impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. associated with this project are limited to a total of 0.68 acre of a jurisdictional pond due its conversion to stormwater management facility, and 82 linear feet (If) of jurisdictional stream channel and less than 0.1 acre of wetland areas due excavation associated with the stormwater management facility construction (Figure 9, attached). 21. Type(s) of Material Being Discharged and the Amount of Each Type In Cubic Yards: Type Type Type Amount In Cubic Yards Amount In Cubic Yards Amount In Cubic Yards 22. Surface Area in Acres of Wetlands or Other Waters Filled (see Instructions) Acres or Linear Feet 23. Description of Avoidance, Minimization, and Compensation (see Instructions) Impacts to on -site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent practicable. Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be applied to minimize disturbances to downstream waters. No impact to the downstream waters is proposed and the total acreage of the jurisdictional pond.witl remain approximately the same. Please see attached letter report for details.

Office of Arcluves and History Deputy Secretary Kevin Cherry We have conducted a review of the project and are aware of no historic resources which would be affected by the project. Therefore, we have no comment on the project as proposed. The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR Part 800. Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions concerning the above comment, contact Renee Gledhill- Earley, environmental review coordinator, at 919- 807 -6579 or renee.gledhill- earley(@ncdcr.gov.

A query of the NCNHP database, based on the project area mapped with your request, indicates that there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, or conservation /managed areas within the proposed project boundary. The attached 'Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that have been documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area if suitable habitat exists and is included for reference. Please note that although there may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have been surveyed. The results of this query should not be substituted for site - specific surveys where suitable habitat exists. In the event that rare species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our records. Tables of natural areas and conservation /managed area within a one -mile radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report. Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission. The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a Dedicated Nature Preserve (DNP), Registered Heritage Area (RHA), or Federally - listed species are documented near the project area. Thank you for your inquiry. If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance, please contact Allison Schwarz Weakley at allison.weakley(&-n_ cdenr.gov or 919.707.8629.
