TROGDON, III SECRETARY The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is submitting the attached PCN application for authorization under Nationwide Permit (NWP) #14 for the proposed extension of McKee Road from the existing intersection at Pleasant Plains Road north to East John Street. The project area is located approximately 0.76 miles northeast of the intersection of Pleasant Plains Road and McKee Road in the Town of Matthews, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. (TIP# U-4713A) (Figure 1). Project Coordinates (Decimal Degrees): 35.089367' N,-80.705454' W. The following information is enclosed: • Stormwater Management Plan • Project Plan Sheets/Permit Drawings • PJD • NC Stream Assessment Method Forms • Bat Questionnaire The purpose of the project is to improve east -west connectivity in the area, to improve access to East John Street and Pleasant Plains Road, and to promote community interconnectivity by providing an alternate route to the Charlotte Outer Loop (I-485). The proposed extension seeks authorization under NWP #14 for stream impacts associated with culvert crossings necessary to construct approximately 0.91-mile of new location roadway through an undeveloped area of Matthews, North Carolina. The proposed project will result in 355 LF/0.041-acre of permanent and 38 LF/0.003-acre of temporary impacts to Streams A and B. • Impact Site 1 — Stream B o Impact 1 —A 41 LF 8' x 6' reinforced concrete box culvert (RCBC) will be installed at the crossing of Stream B. The culvert results in 185 LF/0.03-acre of permanent impacts to Stream B. The culvert will be buried 12-inches to promote the passage of aquatic organisms. o Impact 2 — 18 LF/0.001-acre of temporary impacts associated with the crossing of Stream B are necessary to install an impervious dike and pumped diversion to perform the construction activity in dry conditions.

TROGDON, III SECRETARY Impact Site 2 — Stream A o Impact 3 —A 59 LF 60-inch reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) will be installed at the crossing of Stream A. The culvert results in 155 LF/0.01-acre of permanent impacts to Stream A. The culvert will be buried 12-inches to promote the passage of aquatic organisms. o Impact 4 — 7 LF/0.001-acre of temporary impacts associated with the crossing of Stream A are necessary to install an impervious dike and pumped diversion to perform the construction activity in dry conditions. • Impact Site 3 — Stream A o Impact 5 — 15 LF/0.001-acre of permanent stream impacts associated with the installation of a Standard Base Ditch at the crossing of Stream A. o Impact 6 — 13 LF/0.001-acre of temporary impacts associated with the crossing of Stream A are necessary to install an impervious dike and pumped diversion to perform the construction activity in dry conditions. Compensatory mitigation will be met by the purchase of credits through the NC Division of Mitigation Services (NCDMS) in -lieu fee program. Based on an NCSAM quality assessment rating of high for Streams A and B, compensatory mitigation is proposed at a 2:1 ratio for impacts to the streams on site, or 710 stream credits. In total, 710 stream mitigation credits will be purchased to offset impacts associated with this project. Existing channel morphology will be maintained at the proposed riprap embankment protection sites (Sites 1-3) and upstream/downstream of the proposed culvert. Riparian vegetation will be re-established along disturbed areas associated with the project. Kristi Lynn Carpenter, NC Division of Water Resources, Transportation Permitting Unit, and Beth Plummer, NC DWR Mooresville Regional Office, will review the project through the electronic form (https://edocs.deq.nc.gov/Forms/Pre-Construction_ Notification_ Form). Please charge the application fee of $570.00 to WBS element # 42370.1.1. Please forward comments directly to the Corps with copy to Division 10 Environmental Officer. Please feel free to contact me at (704) 983-4400 if you have any questions or if additional information is necessary. Ancerel \ v,. 4111-4 M.

Annual Avg Daily Traffic (veh/hr/day): Design/Future: 17,000 Year: 2040 Existing: 12,100 Year: 2017 General Project Narrative: (Description of Minimization of Water Quality Impacts) • Minimized directly connected impervious surfaces where possible. Runoff from road in shoulder section will drain through grassed ditches prior to outfall connection. • Grassed shoulder typical section utilized as much as possible throughout the project to encourage sheet flow off of the roadway. • Burying box culverts and circular cross pipes at jurisdictional streams. Pipe burial allows for wildlife passage and helps minimize channel erosion at inlet and outlet of pipes. • Maintaining existing drainage patterns to best extent practical. • Avoiding direct discharges where practical. • Bank stabilization used at culvert inlets and outlets to help minimize erosion. • Use of low flow sills set at stream bed elevation in box culverts. • Culvert barrels with sills will be back filled with native material or class A rip rap to sill height. Native material will consist of material that is excavated from the stream bed or floodplain at the project site during culvert construction. Native material is subject to approval by the engineer and may be subject to permit conditions. Class A rip rap may be used to supplement the native material. If rip rap is used, native material should be placed on top to fill voids and provide a flat surface for animal passage.

Quad: NC- Matthews NOTIFICATION OF JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION Property Owner: North Carolina Department of Transportation Mr. Larry Thompson Address: 716 W. Main Street Albemarle, NC 28001 Telephone Number: 704-301-4881 E-mail: lthompson(a,ncdotxov Size (acres) 1,305 acres Nearest Town Matthews Nearest Waterway Four Mile Creek River Basin Catawba USGS HUC 0305010301 Coordinates Latitude: 35.089367 Longitude:-80.705454 Location description: McKee Road Extension from Pleasant Plains Road to East John Street 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, Figures 1-3 dated 5/1/2018. 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 wetlands, on 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-2018-01530 ❑ 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 on DATE. Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification. ❑ There are no waters of the U.S., to include wetlands, present on the above described project area/property which are subject to the permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification. ❑ The property is located in one of the 20 Coastal Counties subject to regulation under the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA). You should contact the Division of Coastal Management in Morehead City, NC, at (252) 808-2808 to determine their requirements. Placement of dredged or fill material within waters of the US, including wetlands, without a Department of the Army permit may constitute a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC § 1311). Placement of dredged or fill material, construction or placement of structures, or work within navigable waters of the United States without a Department of the Army permit may constitute a violation of Sections 9 and/or 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (33 USC § 401 and/or 403). If you have any questions regarding this determination and/or the Corps regulatory program, please contact Ms. Nicholle Braspennickx at 704-510-0162 or Nicholle.M.Braspennickx(a)usace.army.mil. C. Basis For Determination: Basis For Determination: See the Preliminary jurisdictional determination form dated 10/19/2018. 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.

Further, an AID, a proffered individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an administrative appeal, it becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographic jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will provide an 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: SUPPORTING DATA.
