Dear Mr. Chapin:
On behalf of the Crescent Resources, LLC (CR), enclosed please find a completed Pre-Construction
Notification (PCN) Joint Form (Attachment A) and figures (Attachment B). This PCN is being
submitted for Nationwide Permit (NWP) No. 39 for the above-referenced project. CR has retained
MACTEC Engineering and Consulting, Inc. (MACTEC) to provide permitting services for this
project. This submittal is the product of a cooperative effort between CR, MACTEC, and ColeJenest
& Stone. (CJ&S). CJ&S is providing design/engineering services for this project.
Proiect Overview
CR, in conjunction with MACTEC, is submitting this PCN for authorization under NWP No. 39 -
Commercial and Institutional Developments (Water Quality Certification [WQC] 3402 /General
Certification [GC] 3631). The proposed project will result in jurisdictional stream impact. As a
result, this PCN is being provided in accordance with Nationwide Permit "notification"
requirements for NWP No. 39.
The proposed Piedmont Town Center will be located on Fairview Road in the South Park Mall
area of Charlotte, North Carolina (Attachment B, Figurel). The overall parcel is approximately I9
acres (Phase I - 11 acres, Phase II - 8 acres), and is bordered by Fairview Road to the south,
Assembly Street to the east, Carnegie Boulevard to the north, and a combination of residential and
commercial properties to the west. The majority of the parcel is open field, with forested areas
along an unnamed tributary to Little Sugar Creek. The proposed development of the site will
likely include mixed-use structures including; office buildings, parking decks, retail, and multi-
family residences.
Due to the location and orientation of the jurisdictional stream on the subject property (Attachment
B -Exhibit A), .which generally parallels the western portion of the subject property, the siting of
the proposed buildings, associated parking, and other auxiliary structures will necessitate
unavoidable impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. (Attachment B -Exhibit B). The

Section 404/401 Pre-Construction Notification
MACTEC Project 6229074247
applicant proposes to impact approximately 290 linear feet (lf) of the jurisdictional stream and
approximately 0.06 acre of jurisdiction wetland. Approximately 290 if of stream impacts and all
wetland impacts will be associated with grading and filling. The proposed project represents the
most feasible alternative to allow for the construction of the development and the City-required
stormwater detention facility (for water quality treatment). An alternatives analysis, along with the
project's purpose and need, are discussed in the PCN Joint Form (Attachment A).
Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S.
Wetlands on the subject property were determined using the Routine On-Site Determination Method
as defined in the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual during field review on February
2, 2003. Results of the field observations indicate the presence of jurisdictional waters of the U.S.,
including wetlands, on the subject property (Attachment B: Exhibit A). Jurisdictional areas identified
on-site are as follows:
Stream A is a northerly flowing, aquatically important jurisdictional stream channel located in
the western portion of the site. Stream A is approximately 5301inear feet (lf) in length that has
a bank height of two to four feet, and a channel bottom width of two to three feet.
Wetland A is located at the northern (downstream) end of Stream A in the northwestern corner
of the site. Wetland A is approximately 0.10 acre (ac) in size, and appears to have been a relic
man-made pond (with riser pipe for drainage).
Wetland B is located at the southern (upstream) end of Stream A in the west-central portion of
the site. Wetland B is estimated to be approximately 0.05 ac in size.
The riparian canopy associated with Stream A includes tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), red
maple (Ater rubrum), American elm (Ulmus americana), American beech (Fagus grandifolia),
and Eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana). The riparian canopy associated with Wetlands A
and B include red maple, cottonwood (Populus deltoides), box-elder (A. negundo), silver maple (A.
saccharinum), black willow (Salix nigra), willow oak (Quercus phellos), sweetgum (Liquidambar
styracijlua), and tulip poplar. Understory and herbaceous species along the stream and in the
wetlands include: English ivy (Hedera helix), silver maple, black willow, silky willow (S. sericea),
Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), trumpet creeper
(Campsis radicans), arrowhead (Sagittaria latifolia), false nettle (Boehmeria cylindrical), and soft
rush (Juncus effusus).
Impacts to Waters of the U.S.
Approximately 290 if of jurisdictional stream channel and 0.01 ac of wetland will be impacted by
Phase II of this project. Stream impacts will include 168 if of intermittent stream grading, and 122 if
of perennial stream grading. The stream grading and filling will be associated with stormwater basin
construction. Approximately 0.05 acre of jurisdictional wetland was previously impacted by Phase I
of the project. In accordance with NWP 39 and WQC/GC 3402/3631, it was not necessary to
previously provide pre-construction notification for wetland impacts under 0.10 acre at that time.
The Phase I previous 0.05 ac wetland impact is now included in this PCN. A detailed description
of project impacts is included in the PCN Joint Form (Attachment A).

9. Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project
at the time of this application:
The proposed eight-acre Piedmont Town Center Phase II project will be located in the South
Park Mall area of Charlotte, North Carolina. The overall project area (Phase UII is
approximately 19 acres, and is bordered by Fairview Road to the south, Assembly Street to
the east, Carnegie Boulevard to the north, and a combination of residential and commercial
properties to the west. Theparcel is predominantly surrounded by commercial development
with some residential properties to the west. The Phase II project area is partiallyforested
andpartially open/undeveloped. The forested area contains an unnamed tributary to Little
Sugar Creek. Phase I of the overall project has been previously constructed in an open
upland area near Fairview Road.
10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The proposed project will be comprised of one building and two eight-level parkin dg ecks•
The mixed use building will house residential, commercial, and retail facilities. The
buildings will be connected by walkways and common areas. The type of equipment to be
used on this project will include but not limited to: track hoes, back hoes excavators
bulldozers, dump trucks, and hand tools.
11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work:
The proposed Piedmont Town Center will be located in the South Park area of Charlotte
North Carolina. An increased demand for mixed use "infill" developments in the South Park
area is the primary reason for this development. The infrastructure for the proposed
development is currently in place. "infill" development in which builders fill in small
parcels that have been passed over in previous years may be a favored strateg~ng
housing_professionals in coming_years according to the Urban Land Institute This project is
a prime example of infill development. This type of development may help minimize
suburban sprawl into other natural areas surrounding the city (particularly the south).

VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be
listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from
riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts,
permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: Approximately 290 if of
jurisdictional stream channel will be impacted by this project (approximately 180 if of
intermittent stream piping and approximately 110 if of perennial stream piping) The
proposed stream channel piping impacts will be necessary in order to accommodate an off-
line water Quality treatment stormwater basin (required by the City of Charlotte
additional 0.01 acre of wetland filling impacts will occur in conjunction with the proposed
Phase II project. Approximately 0.05 acre of jurisdictional wetland was previously impacted
by Phase I of the overall project. In accordance with NWP 39 and NCDENR General
Certification 3631, pre-construction notification for Phase I wetland impacts was not
previously required (since these impacts were less than 0.10 acre in extent).
2. Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to
mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams,
separately list impacts due to both structure and fln~ding_

8. Pond Creation
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ^ uplands ®stream ^ wetlands
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.):. excavation and spillway
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): City of Charlotte stormwater requirement
Current land use in the vicinity of the pond: Natural forested area
Size of watershed draining to pond: 18.19 acres Expected pond surface area: 22,500 sgft.
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It maybe useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
The original project design would have resulted in impacts in over 480 if of impacts to the
aquatically important on-site stream and approximately 0.18 acre of wetland impacts. In order to
reduce impacts to the waters of the U.S., retaining walls have been added fill slopes have been
reduced, and detention pond extents have been reduced allowing much of the on-site stream
channel and the largest on-site wetland area to remain intact. The City of Charlotte is reguirin~
water quality treatment of detained stormwater runoff on-site. Due to the existing topo~raph~of
the site, the most appropriate location for such a detention feature/structure is in the low area
near the stream channel itself. In order to provide sufficient horizontal extent for this off-line
detention basin, approximately 110 if of perennial stream channel and approximately 180 if of
intermittent stream channel will be piped. It is anticipated that the provision of on-site water
quality treatment stormwater detention will be more beneficial to downstream water quality
direct discharge of stormwater runoff from the site without detention The current site plan will
require approximately 290 if of unavoidable aquatically-important stream impacts and
approximately 0.06 acre of unavoidable wetland impacts.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USAGE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
Updated 11 /1 /2005
Page 10 of 14

including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina (see DWQ website for most current

choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).

Expiration of Acceptance: May 28, 2008
County: Mecklenburg
This letter replaces one dated June 20, 2087. The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the North Carolina Ecosystem
Enhancement Program (NCEEP) is willing to accept payment for impacts associated with the above referenced project.
Please note that this decision does not assure that the payment will be approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation
for project impacts. It is the responsibility of the applicant to contact these agencies to determine if payment to the NCEEP
will be approved.
This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter and is not transferable. )(f we have not received a copy of
the issued 404 Permitl401 Certification/CAMA permit within this time frame, this acceptance will expire. It is the
applicant's responsibility to send copies of the permits to NCEEP. Once NCEEP receives a copy of the permit(s) an invoice
will be .issued based on the required mitigation in that permit and payment must be made prior to conducting the authorized
work. The amount of the In Lieu Fee to be paid to NCEEP by an applicant is calculated based upon the Fee Schedule and
policies listed at www.nceep.net.
Based on the information supplied by you the impacts that may require compensatory mitigation are summarized in the
followin table.

Cold Cool Warm Ri orlon Non-Ri orlon Coastal Marsh
Impacts 0 0 290 0 0 0 0 0
Credits 0 0 580 0 0 0' 0 0
Upon receipt of payment, EEP will take responsibility for providing the compensatory mitigation. If the regulatory agencies
require mitigation credits greater than indicated above, and the applicant wants NCEEP to be responsible for the additional
mitigation, the applicant will need to submit a mitigation request to NCEEP for approval prior to permit issuance. The
mitigation will be performed in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding between the N. C. Department of
Environment and Natural Resources and the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers dated November 4, 1998.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Kelly Williams at [phone].
