Subject: Request for Pre -Construction Notification for NWPs #13 and 29 and Final
Approved Jurisdictional Determination for the Dunbury Site, Huntersville, Mecklenburg
County, NC
Ms. Higgins and Messrs. Shaeffer, Johnson, and Hamstead,
Enclosed is a request for Nationwide Permits # 13 and 29, and a Final Approved Jurisdictional
Determination associated with the proposed residential site (Dunbury) in Huntersville,
Mecklenburg County, NC. On January 12, 2016 USACE representatives (Mr. William Elliott
and Mr. David Schaeffer) and WEPG staff conducted a site visit to review and confirm the site
delineation. As detailed in the attached Delineation Map, the site consists of two perennial
streams (Waters of the US Perennial RPWs A, B and C) and an open water pond (Pond D). In
total, it was determined that there were approximately 1,113 linear feet of perennial streams and

no onsite wetlands. The onsite pond was determined to have been excavated in uplands and not
jurisdictional. Please refer to accompanying Jurisdictional Determination section for additional
information on site surface waters.
Because the onsite perennial streams bisected the site, complete avoidance of impacts was not
practicable. Impacts to site surface waters associated with the proposed development were
limited through site selection location and design location/orientation of the proposed lots, access
routes, and existing/proposed utilities. Permanent impacts associated with the proposed
residential development total approximately 149 linear feet of Perennial RPW C. Specifically,
the proposed permanent impacts are associated with the installation of culverts at two roadway
crossings.
Temporary impacts total 79 linear feet and are associated with excavation for a proposed sewer
line crossing and temporary fill for stabilization of the streambanks following the removal of a
culvert. Temporary impacts proposed for the sewer line crossing are approximately 22 linear
feet. Construction methods for each sewer line crossing were to implement boring techniques;
however, boring at this location was not feasible due to the depth requirement from the bottom of
stream to the top of pipe. Temporary impacts anticipated from the removal of the existing culvert
are approximately 57 linear feet. Matting and temporary stabilization will be installed to limit
erosion and reestablish vegetation along the banks. A Conceptual Restoration Plan is attached
and provides details for the stabilization of stream banks at the culvert removal location. Due to
the minimal impacts anticipated with the proposed project, no compensatory mitigation is being
proposed for the anticipated permanent impacts.
Also enclosed is a copy of our Threatened/Endangered Species Evaluation for the site in which
no listed species were identified within the project area. The site is wooded which may be
considered summer roosting habitat for the listed Northern Long Eared Bat. However, we have
consulted with the latest guidance associated with the Final 4(d) ruling and there are no known
hibernation and/or roosts sites within a 45 -mile radius of the project area. Based on this
information we believe that the project meets the exemption criteria for the 4(d) rule and formal
USFWS concurrence is not required.
Thank you for your consideration and please contact me if you have any questions, (828) 708-
7059 or email at amanda.jones2wetlands-ep>; com.
Sincerely,
Olt -0 --

I. REQUESTS FOR CORPS APPROVAL OF SURVEY PLAT
Prior to final production of a Plat, the Wilmington District recommends that the Land
Surveyor electronically submit a draft of a Survey Plat to the Corps project manager for
review.
Due to storage limitations of our administrative records, the Corps requires that all hard-
copy submittals include at least one original Plat (to scale) that is no larger than 11"x17"
(the use of match lines for larger tracts acceptable). Additional copies of a plat, including
those larger than 11"x17", may also be submitted for Corps signature as needed. The
Corps also accepts electronic submittals of plats, such as those transmitted as a Portable
Document Format (PDF) file. Upon verification, the Corps can electronically sign these
plats and return them via e-mail to the requestor.
Plats submitted for approval must:
❑ be sealed and signed by a licensed professional land surveyor
❑ be to scale (all maps must include both a graphic scale and a verbal scale)
be legible
❑ include a North Arrow, Scale(s), Title, Property Information
include a legible WoUS Delineation Table of distances and bearings/metes and
bounds/GPS coordinates of all surveyed delineation points
clearly depict surveyed property or project boundaries

Jurisdictional Determination Request
clearly identify the known surveyed point(s) used as reference (e.g. property
corner, USGS monument)
❑ when wetlands are depicted:
*include acreage (or square footage) of wetland polygons
*identify each wetland polygon using an alphanumeric system
when tributaries are depicted:
*include either a surveyed, approximate centerline of tributary with
approximate width of tributary OR surveyed Ordinary High Water Marks
(OHWM) of tributary
*include linear footage of tributaries and calculated area (using
approximate widths or surveyed OHWM)
*include name of tributary (based on the most recent USGS topographic
map) or, when no USGS name exists, identify as "unnamed tributary"
❑ all depicted WoUS (wetland polygons and tributary lines) must intersect or tie -to
surveyed project/property boundaries
❑ include the location of wetland data points and/or tributary assessment reaches
❑ include, label accordingly, and depict acreage of all waters not currently subject to
the requirements of the CWA (e.g. "isolated wetlands", "non jurisdictional
waters"). NOTE: An approved JD must be conducted in order to make an official
Corps determination that a particular waterbody or wetland is not jurisdictional.

Elevation of established OHWM (if known):
2. Non-regulated waters/wetlands (check if applicable):'
Boxes checked below shall be supported by completing the appropriate sections in Section III below.
Z For purposes of this form, an RPW is defined as a tributary that is not a TNW and that typically flows year-round or has continuous flow at least "seasonally"
(e.g., typically 3 months).
' Supporting documentation is presented in Section III.F.
Potentially jurisdictional waters and/or wetlands were assessed within the review area and determined to be not jurisdictional.
Explain:
SECTION III: CWA ANALYSIS
A. TNWs AND WETLANDS ADJACENT TO TNWs
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over TNWs and wetlands adjacent to TNWs. If the aquatic resource is a TNW, complete
Section III.A.1 and Section III.D.I. only; if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW, complete Sections III.A.1 and 2
and Section III.D.1.; otherwise, see Section III.B below.
1. TNW
Identify TNW:
Summarize rationale supporting determination:
Wetland adjacent to TNW
Summarize rationale supporting conclusion that wetland is "adjacent":
B. CHARACTERISTICS OF TRIBUTARY (THAT IS NOT A TNW) AND ITS ADJACENT WETLANDS (IF ANY):
This section summarizes information regarding characteristics of the tributary and its adjacent wetlands, if any, and it helps
determine whether or not the standards for jurisdiction established under Rapanos have been met.
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over non -navigable tributaries of TNWs where the tributaries are "relatively permanent
waters" (RPWs), i.e. tributaries that typically flow year-round or have continuous flow at least seasonally (e.g., typically 3
months). A wetland that directly abuts an RPW is also jurisdictional. If the aquatic resource is not a TNW, but has year-round
(perennial) flow, skip to Section III.D.2. If the aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial flow,
skip to Section III.D.4.
A wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abut an RPW requires a significant nexus evaluation. Corps districts and
EPA regions will include in the record any available information that documents the existence of a significant nexus between a
relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial (and its adjacent wetlands if any) and a traditional navigable water, even
though a significant nexus finding is not required as a matter of law.
If the waterbody° is not an RPW, or a wetland directly abutting an RPW, a JD will require additional data to determine if the
waterbody has a significant nexus with a TNW. If the tributary has adjacent wetlands, the significant nexus evaluation must
consider the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands. This significant nexus evaluation that combines, for
analytical purposes, the tributary and all of its adjacent wetlands is used whether the review area identified in the JD request is
the tributary, or its adjacent wetlands, or both. If the JD covers a tributary with adjacent wetlands, complete Section III.B.1 for
the tributary, Section III.B.2 for any onsite wetlands, and Section III.B.3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary, both onsite
and offsite. The determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section III.0 below.

6A natural or man-made discontinuity in the OHWM does not necessarily sever jurisdiction (e.g., where the stream temporarily flows underground, or where
the OHWM has been removed by development or agricultural practices). Where there is a break in the OHWM that is unrelated to the waterbody's flow
regime (e.g., flow over a rock outcrop or through a culvert), the agencies will look for indicators of flow above and below the break.

C. SIGNIFICANT NEXUS DETERMINATION
A significant nexus analysis will assess the flow characteristics and functions of the tributary itself and the functions performed
by any wetlands adjacent to the tributary to determine if they significantly affect the chemical, physical, and biological integrity
of a TNW. For each of the following situations, a significant nexus exists if the tributary, in combination with all of its adjacent
wetlands, has more than a speculative or insubstantial effect on the chemical, physical and/or biological integrity of a TNW.
Considerations when evaluating significant nexus include, but are not limited to the volume, duration, and frequency of the flow
of water in the tributary and its proximity to a TNW, and the functions performed by the tributary and all its adjacent
wetlands. It is not appropriate to determine significant nexus based solely on any specific threshold of distance (e.g. between a
tributary and its adjacent wetland or between a tributary and the TNW). Similarly, the fact an adjacent wetland lies within or
outside of a floodplain is not solely determinative of significant nexus.
Draw connections between the features documented and the effects on the TNW, as identified in the Rapanos Guidance and
discussed in the Instructional Guidebook. Factors to consider include, for example:
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to carry pollutants or flood waters to
TNWs, or to reduce the amount of pollutants or flood waters reaching a TNW?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), provide habitat and lifecycle support functions for fish and
other species, such as feeding, nesting, spawning, or rearing young for species that are present in the TNW?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to transfer nutrients and organic carbon that
support downstream foodwebs?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have other relationships to the physical, chemical, or
biological integrity of the TNW?
Note: the above list of considerations is not inclusive and other functions observed or known to occur should be documented
below:
