It would be easier to scan the whole thing. He changed the impact page, the site diagram. He changed the following:

=================================================================================

Impact sheet changed. Wetland impact reduced, stream impacts modified.

David asked for NC SAM sheet on intermittent channel which is included in this package.

We left off the storm water plan, which did not change and we left out the field sheets that were included in the first
package.

We have asked NC Mitigation Services to a revised letter to cover the new impacts. Kelly says they will look at that
tomorrow.

Subject: Revised Submittal - Class A Speculative Office Building CIMP

Hi Alan,

The attached files have been sent do David Shaeffer as well. This is the result of our field meeting last Thursday.

We eliminated the two erosion control basins from the JD and reduced the size of Wetland WA based upon hydric soil
calls. The intermittent and perennial stream points remained the same from our calls on Wednesday.

Please let me know if you need anything further from me to help with processing the request for permit authorization.

Thank you!

Larry

SUBJECT: Class A Speculative Office Building - International Business Park
Concord, North Carolina (Cabarrus County)
USACE Action ID: SAW -2016-01193
DWR No: 16-0589
4540 Fortune Avenue, LLC proposes the construction of a commercial office building on the
combined Lots 7 and 8 of the International Business Park located in Concord, North Carolina. The
project consists of an approximately 75,000 square foot (sqft) building, 760 parking spaces and
cut/fill operations resulting in approximately 12.6 acres of disturbed area.
Please find enclosed revised Preliminary JD, PCN application, permit drawings, vicinity map and
USGS quad map.
As previously noted, the North Carolina Natural Heritage Database was checked for records of
threatened and endangered species. The US Fish and Wildlife Service lists three species for
Cabarrus County that have federal status. Carolina heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorata) and
Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii) are both listed as endangered. The Northern
long-eared bat (Mytosis septentrionalis) is listed as threatened. The Bald eagle is protected in
every county in North Carolina under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. No suitable
feeding/water source is located within one mile of the project study area to support Bald eagle
habitat.
Carolina heelsplitter is found in cool, clean, well -oxygenated water. Stable, silt -free stream
bottoms appear to be critical to the species. Typically, stable areas occur where the stream banks
are well -vegetated with trees and shrubs. The species occurs in small streams in the Catawba and
the Pee Dee River systems. There are no records of occurrence near the subject project, and habitat
within the UT to Buffalo Creek is not present. This project will not result in impacts to Carolina
heelsplitter.
Schweinitz's sunflower occurs in full to partial sun and is found in areas with poor soils, such as
thin clays that vary from wet to dry. It is believed that this species once occurred in natural forest
openings of grasslands. Many of the remaining populations occur along roadsides. Habitat for

SAW -2016-01193 Page 2 July 22, 2016
Schweinitz's sunflower does not exist in the subject project area, therefore, this project will not
result in impacts to Schwienitz's sunflower.
Northern long-eared bat (NLEB) occurs in the mountains, with scattered records in the piedmont
and coastal plain. In western North Carolina, NLEB spend winter hibernating in caves and mines.
During the summer, NLEB roosts singly or in colonies underneath bark, in cavities, or in crevices
of both live and dead trees (typically >3 inches dbh). Males and non -reproductive females may
also roost in cooler places, like caves and mines. This bat also been found, rarely, roosting in
structures like barns and sheds, under eaves of buildings, behind window shutters, in bridges, and
in bat houses. Foraging occurs on forested hillsides and ridges, and occasionally over forest
clearings, over water, and along tree -lined corridors. Mature forests may be an important habitat
type for foraging. A review of the October 2015 NCNHP database on May 31, 2016, indicates no
known occurrences within 1.0 mile of the study area; therefore, the proposed action does not
require separate consultation on the grounds that the proposed action is consistent with the final
Section 4(d) rule, codified at 50 C.F.R. § 17.40(0) and effective February 16, 2016. Section 7
responsibilities are therefore considered fulfilled.
This project has been reviewed by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) for potential
affects to historical architecture and archaeology who has issued a letter of "no comment" dated
June 27, 2016.
Impacts to Waters of the United States
UT 1 to Irish Buffalo Creek (DWR Class: C) is not shown on the USGS topographic map as a
perennial stream. UT 1 to Irish Buffalo is well defined with a substrate primarily composed of
sand, silt, and gravel and is approximately 2 to 4 feet in width. UT 1 to Irish Buffalo flows
approximately 0.07 mile to UT to Irish Buffalo, which then flows approximately 1.3 miles to its
confluence with Irish Buffalo Creek, which then flows approximately 10.5 miles into Rocky River.
Rocky River meets the definition of a Traditional Navigable Water. For these reasons, we believe
UT to Buffalo Creek is a Relatively Permanent Water and is under the jurisdiction of the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers. In order to construct the project, it will be necessary to impact waters of
the United States in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin (HUC 03040105). Specifically, 4540 Fortune
Avenue, LLC is requesting to construct a commercial office building and associated parking lot.
The impacts are listed in the tables below:

Permits Requested
4540 Fortune Avenue, LLC is hereby requesting authorization under Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act to proceed with the construction project outlined above. We are also requesting a 401
Water Quality Certification from the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (DENR), Division of Water Resources (DWR).

SAW -2016-01193 Page 3 July 22, 2016
Mitigation Requirements
4540 Fortune Avenue, LLC is aware that stream mitigation will be required for the proposed
impactds and TEC has submitted a revised request to the NC Mitigation Service In -Lieu Fee
Program for mitigation coverage up to 419 linear feet of stream channel. TEC would like to
request that the USACE consider lowering the mitigation requirement for intermittent stream
impacts to a 0.25:1 ratio given the fact that the stream has been previously impacted and exhibits
low biological function.
In a previous submittal, TEC included a site specific stormwater plan, along with stream and
wetland field sheets. These have not been included in this package due to their size. If you would
like these documents sent again, please ask. If you have any questions or need additional
information, please contact Larry Thompson at [phone] or larrygthompsonenv.com. Your
review and consideration of this revised request are greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
The proposed project will be the construction of a commercial office building. The majority of streams are located to the
eastern side of the property, while proposed construction will take place on the western side of the property near the road. An
intermittent stream and a perennial stream will be impacted. Fill slopes have been reduced as much as practical to avoid any
unnecessary impacts.
The project designer used a previous delineation from 2002 which showed the potential for minimal intermittent stream
impacts and no wetland impacts. Once the more recent delineation was completed, the designer altered the design as much
as practicable to reduce additional impacts.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Erosion and sedimentation BMPs will be installed prior to construction. Water will be diverted around the work area to prevent
sedimentation of downstream aquatic resources. Impacts will be minimized by strict enforcement of BMPs for the protection
of surface waters, restrictions against the staging of equipment in or adjacent to waters of the US and coordination with
appropriate agency personnel.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for
® Yes ❑ No

Tidal: n/a
Non -Tidal: n/a
E. REVIEW PERFORMED FOR SITE EVALUATION (CHECK ALL THAT
APPLY):
❑ Office (Desk) Determination. Date:
❑ Field Determination. Date(s):
1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the
United States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party
who requested this preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to
request and obtain an approved jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site.
1

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.
This preliminary JD finds that there "maybe" 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:

Vegetation indicates disturbance in terms of species diversity or proportions, but is still largely composed of native
species. This may include communities of weedy native species that develop after clear -cutting or clearing or
communities with non-native invasive species present, but not dominant, over a large portion of the expected strata or
communities missing understory but retaining canopy trees.

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the NCDEQ Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) is willing to accept
payment for compensatory mitigation for impacts associated with the above referenced project as indicated in the
table below. Please note that this decision does not assure that participation in the DMS in -lieu fee mitigation
program will be approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation for project impacts. It is the responsibility
of the applicant to contact permitting agencies to determine if payment to the DMS will be approved. You must
also comply with all other state, federal or local government permits, regulations or authorizations associated with
the proposed activity including G.S. § 143-214.11.
This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter and is not transferable. If we have not
received a copy of the issued 404 Permit/401 Certification/LAMA permit within this time frame, this
acceptance will expire. It is the applicant's responsibility to send copies of the permits to DMS. Once DMS
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 by an
applicant is calculated based upon the Fee Schedule and policies listed at http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/eep.
Based on the information supplied by you in your request to use the DMS, the impacts that may require
compensatory mitigation are summarized in the following table. The amount of mitigation required and assigned
