Page 5 of 8
USACE - 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
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.

' Boxes checked below shall be supported by completing the appropriate sections in Section III below.
' 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.
SECTION 111: 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 HLB below.

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 now,
skip to Section IILD.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 111.6.3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary, both onsite
and offsite. The determination whether a significant nexus exists is determined in Section III.C below.

the OHWM has been removed by development or agricultural practices). Where there is a break in the OH" 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:
Significant nexus findings for non-RPW that has no adjacent wetlands and flows directly or indirectly into TNWs. Explain
findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary itself, then go to Section 111.13:
Significant nexus findings for non-RPW and its adjacent wetlands, where the non-RPW flows directly or indirectly into
TNWs. Explain findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary in combination with all of its

Little Sugar Creek
Elizabeth Avenue to Charlottetowne Avenue
Existing Conditions and Design Summary
Wildlands Engineering is working with LandDesign, Mecklenburg County Storm Water Services,
and Mecklenburg County Park & Recreation to develop construction documents for a stream
enhancement and greenway project in Charlotte, NC, on Little Sugar Creek from Elizabeth Avenue
to Charlottetowne Avenue (formerly named South Independence Boulevard). This memorandum
provides a summary of the
1. watershed characteristics,
2. existing geomorphic conditions, and
3. proposed design parameters for the project reach.
1. Watershed & Land Use
The project reach is located in central Mecklenburg County just southeast of uptown Charlotte as
shown on the attached Vicinity Map (Figure 1). The headwaters of Little Sugar Creek drain the
area east of I-77 and south of I-85, as shown on the Vicinity Map and the attached USGS
Topographic Map (Figure 2). The watershed drainage area measures 10.2 square miles at the
downstream end of the project reach. Downstream of the project site, Little Sugar Creek flows
south through Mecklenburg County to join Sugar Creek and then into the Catawba River east of
Rock Hill, SC. The project site is located in the Catawba River Basin, HUC 03050103.
The Little Sugar Creek watershed is located in a highly developed urban setting; approximately
80% of the land in the watershed has been developed. Approximately 43% of the land surface is
impervious. The land uses within the watershed include
• residential (47%),
• industrial (25%),
• commercial (19%),
• woods (7%), and
• institutional (2%).
The City of Charlotte lies in the Charlotte Belt, which is a geologic zone comprised of
predominantly metavolcanic and plutonic rock types. The geology of the project area is Devonian
and Ordovician age granodiorite rock. The granodiorite is medium-grained, massive to weakly
foliated, and is comprised mainly of plagioclase and quartz (Goldsmith, 1984). Bedrock knick
points were observed in the stream bed at the Elizabeth Avenue box culvert outlet and mid-reach
between 3'd Street and Charlottetowne Avenue.
As shown on the attached Soils Map (Figure 3), the soils found within the project site include
urban soils, Monacan soils, and Cecil sandy clay loam soils. Urban soils describe areas where the
original soils have been cut, filled, graded, or paved to the extent that a soil type can no longer be
recognized. Monacan soils are deep, moderately well and somewhat poorly drained soils that
formed in recent alluvial sediments of the Piedmont. Cecil soils are typically very deep and well-
drained upland soils that formed in residuum from felsic rock. The surface layer of the soil is
loamy and the subsoil is clayey.
2. Existing Stream Conditions
Little Sugar Creek has historically been straightened and dredged in an attempt to control flooding
and to accommodate development. The creek banks along this reach have been riprapped to
reduce erosion. Vegetation was managed by cutting and spraying until the late 1990's.
The project reach of Little Sugar Creek has been listed on the North Carolina Division of Water
Quality's (NCDWQ) 303(d) list since 2000. Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act (CWA)
requires states to develop a list of waters not meeting water quality standards or which have
impaired uses. The NCDWQ 303(d) list includes violations of impaired biological integrity and
high fecal coliform concentrations for the creek.
The project extents are shown on the attached Site Map (Figure 4). The project includes three sub-
reaches:
Elizabeth Avenue box culvert to 4t' Street box culvert (430 LF open channel);
40' Street box culvert to P Street box culvert adjacent to Veteran's Park (300 LF open
channel); and
3'd Street box culvert to the Charlottetown Avenue (formerly S. Independence Boulevard)
bridge (990 LF open channel).
This reach currently classifies as a Rosgen B5 channel. The channel substrate is dominated by
sandy fine sediment characteristic of an urban watershed. An abundance of riprap from prior bank
stabilization work was also found in the creek bed. An absolute Rosgen stream classification of
urban streams such as Little Sugar Creek is difficult due to historical channel modification and the
limited ability of the channel to freely adjust to channel-forming flow.
Table 1 summarizes the existing geomorphic conditions of the project reach. Overall, the channel
is overwide in many locations as evidenced by mid-channel bars. These bars are located
immediately upstream of the box culverts at 40' Street and 3`d Street. The bank height ratio is high
throughout the project reach, ranging from 2.1 to 3.2, indicating an incised condition with a
channel separated from its floodplain. The project reach consists of long flat runs, punctuated by a
few steep bedrock riffles. Few deep, well-formed pools were found along the project reach. The
banks are heavily riprapped and vegetated with invasive species including kudzu, understory vine
species, and some maples, sycamores and oaks.
Bankfull Indicators
The bankfull stage indicator along the Little Sugar Creek Elizabeth to Charlottetown Reach
identified in the field was a break in slope on a flat depositional feature. This indicator is consistent
with other NC urban Piedmont streams. Bankfull data for the project reach was compared with the
NC Piedmont regional curve. Three of the project's riffle cross-sectional areas (X3, X5, and X7)
plot just above the NC piedmont rural regional curve data within the scatter of the curve data. This
data location indicates that bankfull stage was adequately selected within acceptable limits.
The fourth riffle cross-section, X2, plots slightly higher near the NC piedmont urban curve. The
X2 riffle is located at an over-wide section with a mid-channel bar. The larger cross-sectional area
and the bar indicate that this section does not adequately convey the creek's sediment load.
Wildlands Engineering Page 2
LSC Elizabeth to Charlottetowne Design Summary May 23, 2008
The surveyed cross-sections overlaid with the NC regional curve are shown in the attached Figure
5. Manning's equation was used to calculate an approximate bankfull discharge using the cross-
sectional area and overall channel slope for the project reach. This approximate bankfull discharge
is shown overlaid with the NC regional curve in the attached Figure 5.
3. Design Parameters
The Little Sugar Creek Elizabeth to Charlottetowne Reach stream enhancement project will consist
of Rosgen Priority 2 and 4 enhancement. Stream pattern will not be restored due to adjacent
sanitary sewer lines, overhead electric lines, and other urban infrastructure constraints. The three
sub-reaches between the box culverts are not long enough to allow appropriate development of a
meandering pattern.
On the sub-reach from Elizabeth Avenue to 4d' Street, a stable cross-section will be constructed
with an adjacent excavated bankfull bench. Much of this reach is over-wide, so existing riprap and
invasives will be removed and the banks will be filled or re-constructed to develop a stable cross-
section dimension. A constructed bankfull bench will be built where possible, ranging in width
from 5 feet to 20 feet on one or both sides of the creek. Table 1 summarizes the design parameters
for this reach. In-stream boulder structures will be used to establish bedform diversity with riffles
and pools. Riparian plants native to the piedmont of NC will be planted on the banks, bench and
floodplain to stabilize the stream corridor and add terrestrial habitat. Additional work adjacent to
the stream includes a greenway trail and bioretention areas to treat storm water runoff on both sides
of the creek. One pedestrian bridge crossing is proposed on this reach.
On the sub-reach from 4d' Street to 3'd Street, in-stream boulder structures will be used to establish
bedform diversity, to narrow the baseflow channel, and to protect the stream banks. Widespread
grading of the channel and banks is not planned. A bankfull bench has begun to form on the left
bank; this area will be left intact to the extent possible. Invasive species on both banks will be
managed by cutting and spraying, and supplemental planting of native species is proposed.
Additional work adjacent to the left bank of the stream includes a greenway trail.
On the sub-reach from 3`d Street to Charlottetowne Avenue, stream treatments will be similar to the
4d' to 3'd Street sub-reach. In-stream boulder structures will be used to establish bedform diversity,
to narrow the baseflow channel, and to protect the stream banks. Widespread grading of the
channel and banks is not planned. A bankfull bench has begun to form on the left bank; this area
will be left intact to the extent possible. Invasive species on both banks will be managed by cutting
and spraying, and supplemental planting of native species is proposed. Additional work adjacent
to the left bank of the stream includes a greenway trail.

Subject: Little Sugar Creek - Elizabeth Avenue to Charlottetown Avenue - Stream Enhancement Project;
Charlotte, Mecklenburg County
Dear Mr. Jenkins:
The Natural Heritage Program has no record of rare species, significant natural communities, significant
natural heritage areas, or conservation/managed areas at the site nor within a mile of the project area.
Although our maps do not show records of such natural heritage elements in the project area, it does not
necessarily mean that they are not present. It may simply mean that the area has not been surveyed. The
use of Natural Heritage Program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys, particularly if the
project area contains suitable habitat for rare species, significant natural communities, or priority natural
areas.
You may wish to check the Natural Heritage Program database website at www.ncnhp.org for a listing of
rare plants and animals and significant natural communities in the county and on the quad map. Our
Program also has a new website that allows users to obtain information on element occurrences and
significant natural heritage areas within two miles of a given location:
<http://nhpweb.enr.state.nc.us/nhis/public/gmap75-main.phtml>. The user name is "public" and the
password is "heritage". You may want to click "Help" for more information.
NC OneMap now provides digital Natural Heritage data online for free. This service provides site
specific information on GIS layers with Natural Heritage Program rare species occurrences and
Significant Natural Heritage Areas. The NC OneMap website provides Element Occurrence (EO) ID
numbers (instead of species name), and the data user is then encouraged to contact the Natural Heritage
Program for detailed information. This service allows the user to quickly and efficiently get site specific
NHP data without visiting the NHP workroom or waiting for the Information Request to be answered by
NHP staff. For more information about data formats and access, visit <w??'?v.nconemap.com>, then click
on "FTP Data Download", and then "nheo.zip" [to the right of "Natural Heritage Element Occurrences"].
You may also e-mail NC OneMap at <dataot7a ncmail.net> for more information.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at 919-715-8697 if you have questions or need further information.
Sincerely,
Harry E. LeGrand, Jr., Zoologist
