Subiect: Nationwide Permit #12 Request for Riverpointe Wastewater Treatment Plant
Effluent Pipe Replacement, in Charlotte, Mecklenburg Countv, North Carolina. AID
SAW -2016-00660.
Ms. Higgins and Messrs. Shaeffer and Johnson,
A pre -construction notification is being submitted to request temporary impacts to 0.18 acre of
open water on Lake Wylie to replace a failing sewer line. There is approximately 260 -linear feet
of an existing 6" DIP sewer pipe that needs replacement and is located within the lake bed of
Lake Wylie. A new parallel trench will be dug to place a new pipe with a hydraulic
dredge/cutter. Temporary piping will be laid along the lake bed and travel upstream through an
existing culvert to the disposal/de-watering site (see attached photo log) to carry the
dredged/slurry material created from excavating a new trench. The old pipe will then be removed
and barged from the area once the new pipe is in place/operational
This proposed work will likely be done in the wet unless water levels recede. The dredge
material will be pumped into dewatering/filter bags at an upland disposal site which will then
slowly release the return water through diffuse flow in the adjacent streamside buffer. There will
be no trees removed within any of the constructionibuffer areas. The pipe size for the existing
road crossing (Autumn Creek Court) is 72 -inches in diameter and is large enough to have a small

suction pipe running through without impeding the capacity of this pipe in the event of high
flows. Enclosed is a construction sequence outlining these steps in more detail. Also enclosed is
a letter from USFWS indicating that there will be no impacts to any federally
threatened/endangered species associated with this projce.
We believe that the site plan has been designed to avoid and minimize impacts to aquatic
resources on the site while still being able to safely replace the damaged section of lin. We
appreciate the opportunity to submit this information and please contact me if you have any
questions, (828) 708-7059 or email at amanda.; o� nes(a�wetlands-epi com.

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Proposed impacts to open water are temporary in nature and minor. No impacts to adjacent stream channels will occur. De -watering of dredged
material will occur within uplands and discharged into an adequate wooded area/buffer for diffuse flow back into the stream channel upstream of the
impact site. There will be no tree removal in the buffer/wooded areas.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
There will be no impacts to adjacent stream channels associated with construction staging/de-watering, etc. Work will be attempted when water levels
are low if possible. If not, the hydraulic dredging will minimize any secondary impacts from sedimentation.

2. Notify homeowners of proposed plans.
3. Notify Catawba Riverkeeper of proposed plans
1. Mobilization of waterborne equipment shall be coordinated with Duke Energy Lake
Services for the use of public access areas.
1. Removal of all excavated material from the pipe trench as depicted on the plans
must be performed using a hydraulic, cutterhead suction dredge.
2. Prior to commencing the work, the Contractor shall have assembled all required
materials and completed any necessary fabrication of special fittings, etc. Required
to complete the work.
3. Initial work upon mobilization to the site will include location of the existing 6" DIP in
the area as depicted on the plans followed by excavation at the connection points at
each end of the pipe replacements.
4. Upon confirmation of the 6" DIP pipe location, the Contractor will proceed with
trench excavation (see trench detail on plans). Excavated materials must be
removed from the project limits and none of the excavated materials may be placed
on the lake bed. No double handling of materials will be permitted (i.e. excavated
material placed parallel to the trench on the lake bed initially, then removed in a
separate operation).
5. Prior to trench excavation, the Contractor shall have installed the necessary piping
to convey dredged material to the Owner's disposal site in the Riverpointe
subdivision (abandoned well sites) and shall have provided a sufficient number and
size of geotextile filter bags to receive and filter the dredge slurry.
6. The Contractor shall have assembled materials and shall have completed the
launch of the 3" HDPE replacement pipe including fusion of joints as required,
providing the length of continuous pipe as shown on the plans.
7. The Contractor shall coordinate and schedule with the Owner the period of time
during which discharge of effluent to the 6" DIP will be interrupted.
8. Upon coordination with the Owner and completion of the trenching excavation, the
Contractor will proceed with tie in of the 3" HDPE to the existing 3" PVC just
upstream of the existing manhole, and install the 3" HDPE parallel to the 6" DIP to
the point of connection of the 3" HDPE to the existing 6" DIP, and complete that
connection. In concert with laying of the 3" HDPE, the Contractor shall advance the
installation of the bedding material as required by the detail on the plans. All stone
material will be delivered to the site via barge. As shown on the detail upon
completion of bedding and backfill, the Contractor shall then install 6 inches of
ballast stone cover, with finished elevation matching the original ground elevation
along the trench.
9. Upon completion of the new pipe and connections, and placing the new pipe into
operation, the Contractor shall advise the Owner that discharge of effluent may
resume.
10. The Contractor will then remove existing manhole and all of the existing 6" DIP that
has been paralleled and abandoned. All material that is removed shall be barged
from the project area and appropriately disposed of offsite.
11. Upon fully completing the work, the Contractor shall advise the Owner, the Engineer
and Duke Lake Services that the project is finished.

Mr. Martin Lashua
Utilities, Inc.
P.O. Box 240908
Charlotte, North Carolina 28224
Dear Mr. Lashua:
Subject: Conveyance Permit Application, Carolina Water Service, Inc. of North Carolina,
Riverpointe Wastewater Treatment Facility Treated Effluent Discharge Pipe, Lake
Wylie (FERC No. P-2232), located adjacent to NC Highway 49, Mecklenburg County,
North Carolina
On August 18, 2016, we received a letter from you requesting our review and comments on the
subject project. We have reviewed the document and are providing the following comments in
accordance with the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C.§ 4321
et seq.) (NEPA); the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 661-667e); and
section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543) (Act).
Project Description. According to the information you presented, the existing Riverpointe
wastewater treatment plant (owned by Carolina Water Service, Inc. of North Carolina
(CWSNC)) is located on Lake Wylie. The facility treats about 31,000 gallons of wastewater per
day and discharges into Lake Wylie via a 6 -inch ductile iron effluent pipe. In recent years, it has
been noticed that about 200 -feet of the pipe has become uncovered from storm -water erosion and
fluctuating lake levels. The pipe is exposed and visible during periods of low lake levels.
CWSNC is proposing the following improvements to the effluent pipe: 1) Remove the existing
manhole on the shoreline and install a new replacement manhole with additional depth to allow
for deeper burial of the effluent pipe; 2) Excavate a new trench (allowing for a minimum 2 -feet
of pipe coverage) alongside the existing pipe from manhole to about 200 -feet into the lake. A
new pipe will be installed in the trench, connected to the manhole, and the existing pipe will be
removed.
Equipment Use. Construction should be accomplished by operating equipment from the banks
in a fashion that minimizes disturbance to woody vegetation. All equipment should be inspected
daily and should be maintained in order to prevent the contamination of surface waters from
leaking fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials. All fuels, lubricants, and
other toxic materials should be stored outside the riparian management area of the stream, in a
location where the material can be contained. Equipment should be checked for leaks of
hydraulic fluids, cooling system liquids, and fuel and should be cleaned before fording any
stream. In addition, all fueling operations should be accomplished outside the riparian
management area.
Erosion and Sedimentation Control. Construction activities near streams, rivers, and lakes
have the potential to cause water pollution and stream degradation if measures to control erosion
and sediment are not properly installed and maintained. In order to effectively reduce erosion
and sedimentation impacts, Best Management Practices should be designed, installed, and
maintained during land -disturbing activities. A complete design manual, which provides
extensive details and procedures for developing site-specific plans to control erosion and
sediment and is consistent with the requirements of the North Carolina Sedimentation and

Federal Endangered and Threatened Species. According to our records and a review of the
information you provided, no federally listed species or their habitats occur within the project
area. Therefore, we believe the requirements under section 7 of the Act are fulfilled. However,
obligations under section 7 of the Act must be reconsidered if. (1) new information reveals
impacts of this identified action that may affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner not
previously considered, (2) this action is subsequently modified in a manner that was not
considered in this review, or (3) a new species is listed or critical habitat is determined that may
be affected by the identified action.
Summary. Measures to minimize and/or offset potential impacts to fish and wildlife resources
and the designation of contiguous areas of shoreline are necessary to ensure that this project and
others like it are consistent with the primary goals of the Catawba-Wateree Hydroelectric Project
license while minimizing the cumulative environmental effects of shoreline development and
wastewater discharge. With that in mind, we remind you that all construction activities
associated with the project should strictly follow Duke's Shoreline Management Guidelines as
provided in the newly issued Catawba-Wateree Hydroelectric Project license.
Thank you for allowing us to comment on this project. Please contact Mr. Bryan Tompkins of
