Freedom Drive Widening Project Charlotte, North Carolina Carolina Wetland Services Project No. 2008-2231 The Freedom Drive Widening Project is located in Charlotte, North Carolina. The project corridor begins at the Freedom Drive - Lundy Lane intersection and continues southeast to the Freedom Drive - Bradford Road intersection (Figure 1, enclosed). The purpose of this project is to widen the road from two lanes to four lanes to alleviate traffic congestion. The proposed project results in impacts to three jurisdictional streams. The three stream crossings meet the criteria for processing individually under Nationwide Permit (NWP) No. 14. Charlotte Storm Water Services (CSWS) has contracted Carolina Wetland Services, Inc. (CWS) to provide 404/401 permitting services for this project.

Dominant vegetation within the project area consists of red maple (Acer rubrum), loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), sweetgum (Liquidambar styracijlua), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), redbud (Cercis canadensis), and poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans). According to the Soil Survey of Mecklenburg County', on-site soils consist of Cecil sandy clay loam, 2 to 8 percent slope (CeB2) and 8 to 15 percent slopes (CeD2), and Monacan loam (MO). Cecil soils are well-drained while Monacan soils are somewhat poorly drained. Monacan loam is listed in the North Carolina hydric soils list as having hydric inclusionS2. 1 United States Department of Agriculture, 1980.

Road widening at this location will result in impacts to approximately 0.51 acre of FEMA regulated floodplain. The proposed new culvert on Paw Creek has been designed such that it will result in no rise in flood levels. CSWS has begun coordination with the local floodplain coordinator on the project. Jurisdictional Determination On March 22, 2008, CWS's Paul Bright and Gregg Antemann, PWS investigated on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. using the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) - Routine On-Site Determination Method. This method is defined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual. Jurisdictional waters of the U.S. were classified according to recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ)4 and USACE guidance. A site visit to the project area was accomplished by Steve Chapin, USACE Asheville Field Office on February 12, 2009. A Request for Jurisdictional Determination for Streams A, B. and C was submitted to the USACE Asheville Field Office on February 17, 2009. Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. The results of the on-site field investigation indicate that there are three jurisdictional stream channels (Stream A - C) located within the project area (Figure 1, enclosed). These streams are Paw Creek and unnamed tributaries to Paw Creek. Paw Creek is within the Catawba River basin (1-IU# 03050103)5 and is classified as "Class C" waters by the NCDWQ. Stream A (Paw Creek) flows southwest through the project corridor for approximately 300 linear feet (Figure 1, enclosed). Stream A exhibited a strong bed and bank, strong groundwater flow, substrate consisting of silt to large boulders, and an average ordinary high water width of 15-20 feet. Biological sampling within Stream A resulted in a weak presence of fish and benthic macroinvertebrates. Due to the evidence of typical year-round flow, Stream A was classified as a relatively permanent water (RPW) according to USACE/EPA guidance. Photographs of Perennial RPW Stream A are enclosed as Photographs A, B, C and D. Stream A currently crosses beneath Freedom Drive though a two-barrel ox cu vent. - -- -- ---- -- -- Stream B flows northwest along the southwest edge of the project corridor for approximately 1,805 linear feet (Figure 1, enclosed). Stream B exhibited a strong bed and bank, moderate groundwater flow, substrate consisting of silt to large cobbles, and an average ordinary high water width of 3-6 feet. Biological sampling within Stream B resulted in a moderate presence of benthic macroinvertebrates. Due to the evidence of typical year-round flow, Stream B was classified as a relatively permanent water (RPW) according to USACE/EPA guidance. Photographs of Perennial RPW Stream B are enclosed as Photographs E and F. 3 Environmental Laboratory.

Stream C exhibited a strong bed and bank, moderate sinuosity, no groundwater flow, substrate consisting of silt to small cobbles, and an average ordinary high water width of 2-4 feet. Stream characteristics indicate that flow not present for three consecutive months in a typical year. Therefore, Stream C was classified as a non-relatively permanent water (RPW), according to USACE/EPA guidance. A representative photograph of Non-RPW Stream C is enclosed as Photograph G. Stream C currently crosses beneath Freedom Drive though a 24" reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) culvert. Agency Correspondence Cultural Resources A letter was forwarded to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on August 26, 2008 to determine the presence of any areas of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance that would be affected by the project. In a response letter, dated October 8, 2008 (enclosed), the SHPO stated that they "are aware of no historic resources that would be affected by the project." Protected Species A new letter was forwarded to the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) on August 26, 2008 to determine the presence of any federally-listed, candidate endangered, threatened species or critical habitat located within the project area. In a response letter, dated September 5, 2008 (enclosed), the NCNHP stated that they have "no record of rare species, significant natural communities, significant natural heritage areas, or conservation/managed areas at the site nor within I mile of the project area." 08-2231 Draft-2 NWP 14 3-18-09 Freedom Drive Widening Project March 18, 2009 Nationwide Permit No. 14 CWS Project No. 2008-2231 Purpose and Need for the Project The City of Charlotte will undergo significant growth during the next 25 years which provides great opportunities and, at the same time, significant challenges for transportation and land use. Charlotte's population is projected to increase from approximately 590,000 in 2000 to 930,000 in 2030. Employment is projected to increase from approximately 470,000 in 2000 to 850,000 in 2030. The City of Charlotte has developed a Transportation Action Plan (TAP) to meet these challenges. This plan seeks to provide a short-term and long-term policy and implementation "blueprint" for accommodating that growth while integrating land use and implementing our transportation vision. The TAP is Charlotte's first comprehensive transportation plan. It evaluates the transportation system today and what it will be like in 2030. It spells out policies for meeting growth's challenges and identifies what improvements are needed, how much they will cost (approximately $3.5 billion) and what revenue sources might be considered. The Freedom Drive Widening project is an integral part of the TAP. The purpose of this project is to widen the existing two lane road to a four lane divided highway with curb and gutter, and sidewalks. This will improve the safety issues and traffic congestion currently experienced on this portion of Freedom Drive. Existing average daily traffic (ADT) along this section of Freedom Drive is 15,700 vehicles per day (vpd), with regional growth increasing traffic projections to 33,900 vpd by the year 2020. Existing traffic experiences unacceptable peak hour level of service (LOS) E (on an A to F scale). Without the proposed improvements, level of service will degrade to LOS F in the 2020 design year. With the proposed addition of travel lanes, the year 2020 level of service will improve to an acceptable LOS C. Avoidance and Minimization Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent practicable. Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to downstream waters. Freedom Drive currently crosses Paw Creek (Perennial Stream A) over a double-barrel reinforced concrete box culvert (RCBC). To meet the design criteria for the project, the elevation of the roadway above the RCBC will be raised (reducing the grades along the roadway north and south of Paw Creek), and additional travel lanes will be constructed, increasing the width of the roadway. The raised profile and the increased roa way widthbotli contribute to the need-for extending the existing WIV6i t: Additional impacts to Paw Creek will result from placement of rip rap aprons to reduce erosion at both the inlet and the outlet of the box culvert. The original site plan (Design Version 1) would have impacted 329 linear feet of Perennial Stream A (Figure 2, enclosed). These impacts would result from 135 linear feet of culvert extension and 194 linear feet of upstream and downstream rip-rap. The intermediate revised site plan (Design Version 2) reduced the extent of the upstream rip rap apron, reducing permanent impacts to Perennial Stream A by 33 linear feet (Figure 3, enclosed). The current revised site plan (Design Version 3) accomplished an additional 26 linear feet reduction of impacts through the use of 2:1 embankment slopes which allowed for a 26 foot reduction in the culvert length (Figure 4, enclosed). These design revisions to the length of the upstream rip rap apron and the length of the culvert have reduced permanent impacts to Perennial Stream A by 59 linear feet. Permanent impacts to Stream A total 270 linear feet. Freedom Drive runs parallel to Perennial Stream B, with the stream running through front yards of properties along the southwest side of the roadway. Due to the stream and terrain, the residential and 08-2231_Draft-2 NW 14 _3-18-09 4 Freedom Drive Widening Project March 18, 2009 Nationwide Permit No. 14 CWS Project No 2008-2231 institutional (church) development along the southwest side of Freedom Drive are set back further than those on the opposite side of the roadway. The original site plan (Design Version 1) resulted in 436 linear feet of permanent impacts to Perennial Stream B (Figures 6 -8, enclosed). These potential impacts were the result of embankment extensions along the side of the widened roadway, driveway culvert extensions from higher and steeper driveways, rip-rap at inlets and outlets of driveway culverts, piping, and ditching the stream to beyond the proposed roadway embankment toe of slope. The intermediate revised plan (Design Version 2) resulted in a reduction of permanent impacts to Perennial Stream B by 77 linear feet, to a total of 359 linear feet (Figures 9 -12, enclosed). This reduction in impacts was achieved through reducing the length of rip-rap aprons associated with driveway culverts and reducing the length of stream for which ditching was proposed. In addition, the intermediate revised site plan would have resulted in the day-lighting of 80 linear feet of currently piped Stream B, and the relocation of a currently impaired portion of stream channel from beneath the extended embankment to a new geomorphically stable channel. The current revised site plan (Design Version 3) further reduces the impacts to Stream B to a total of 298 linear feet (Figures 13 -16, enclosed). It does this through the use of steeper side slopes along the roadway embankment between design Station 312+00 and Design Station 316+00. This revision eliminates impacts to the existing stream channel from the roadway embankment side slopes. This design change eliminates the need to construct a geomorphologically improved replacement channel. Day-lighting the 80-feet of existing piped stream is proposed as on-site mitigation for unavoidable impacts to Stream B. Original (Version 1), intermediate (Version 2) and currently proposed (Version 3) impacts to important jurisdictional waters are summarized and compared in Table 1. 08-2231 Draft-2 NWP 14 3-18-09 o? 0 0 N H i' U L R u .o a eu c a °fl 3 L q E 0 'O a L w r?

Impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. are discussed below and summarized in Table 1. Crossing l will result in approximately 270 linear feet of unavoidable permanent impacts to Perennial RPW Stream A (Paw Creek) (Figure 4, enclosed). These impacts result from culvert replacement and extension (110 linear feet of increased length) and the placement of rip-rap aprons to protect the inlet and outlet of the extended culvert from erosion (160 linear feet). A cross-section of the impacted portion of Stream A is included as Figure 5 (enclosed). Crossing 2 will result in approximately 298 linear feet of unavoidable permanent impacts to Perennial RPW Stream B (Figures 13, 14, and 15, enclosed). Impacts to Perennial RPW Stream B result from multiple extensions of existing driveway culverts and the placement of associated rip-rap at the driveway culverts. A cross-section of the embankment slope revision used to reduce impacts to Stream B is included as Figure 16 (enclosed). Stream B has been ditched and straightened in the past and retains very few natural characteristics. Crossing 3 will result in unavoidable impacts to Unimportant Intermittent Stream C totaling approximately 220 linear feet (0.014 acre)(Figure 17, enclosed). Impacts to Non-RPW Stream C result from culvert replacement and extension, and the placement of rip-rap associated with the culvert extension. Impacts also result from approximately 46 linear feet of hydrological severance. This severed portion of Non-RPW C will be cut off from its upstream watershed by the new culvert beneath Freedom Drive. On behalf of CSWS, CWS is submitting a Pre-Construction Notification Application with attachments in accordance with Nationwide Permit General Condition No. 27 and pursuant to Nationwide Permit (NWP) No. 14 and Water Quality Certification No. 3704 (enclosed) for Crossings 1, 2 and 3 (Streams A, B and C). Compensatory Mitigation NWP No. 14 (Stream A) Permanent impacts to Perennial RPW Stream A (Paw Creek) as a result of Crossing 1 total 270 linear feet. To compensate for losso f jurisdictional waters,-CSWS- is proposing A donation to the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP). CSWS proposes the purchase of stream restoration credits at a reduced 1.5 to 1 ratio for 270 linear feet of impacts (less than the standard 2:1) in recognition of the design efforts taken to reduce impacts to Paw Creek, and for the proposed removal of overhanging cane and invasive species from the channel upstream of the culvert (Photos C and D). Correspondence with the NCEEP (attached agency correspondence) document that a total of 920 credits have been made available to the Freedom Drive widening project for impacts to a total of 460 linear feet of warm streams. Credits are expected to be purchased for $323 per linear foot of stream impact, making the 1.5:1 credit purchase for 270 linear feet of Stream A (405 credits) worth $130,815. NWP No. 14 (Stream B) Permanent Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters resulting from Crossing 2 total 298 linear feet of perennial stream channel (Perennial RPW Stream B). To compensate for loss of jurisdictional waters, CSWS is proposing a donation to the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP). CSWS proposes the purchase stream restoration credits at a reduced ratio of 1:1 for 218 linear feet of 08-2231 Draft-2 NWP 14 3-18-09 Freedom Drive Widening Project March 18, 2009 Nationwide Permit No. 14 CWS Project No 2008-2231 impacts. This reduction in credits sought from the entire 298 linear feet of impacts is in recognition of the proposed day-lighting of 80 linear feet of currently piped stream. Correspondence with the NCEEP (attached agency correspondence) document that a total of 920 credits have been made available to the Freedom Drive widening project for impacts to a total of 460 linear feet of warm streams for the project. Credits are expected to be purchased for $323 per linear foot of stream impact, making the proposed 1:1 credit purchase for 218 linear feet of Stream B (218 credits) worth $70,414. NWP No. 14 (Stream C) Permanent Impacts to jurisdictional waters resulting from Crossing 3 total 220 linear feet of unimportant intermittent stream channel (Non-RPW Stream C). Therefore, no mitigation is currently proposed for impacts associated with Crossing 3. Please do not hesitate to contact Isaac J.

Name of nearest body of water (stream, river, etc.) to proposed project: Paw Creek 2b. Water Quality Classification of nearest receiving water: Class C 2c. River basin: Catawba 3. Project Description 3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: The existing land use for the project area is residential with maintained lawns and large adjacent wooded areas. 3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property: 0.0 3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property: 2,139 linear feet 3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: The purpose of this project is to widen the existing two lane road to a four lane divided highway with curb and gutter and , sidewalks. This will improve the safety issues and traffic congestion currently experienced on this portion of Freedom Drive. Existing average daily traffic (ADT) along this section of Freedom Drive is 15,700 vehicles per day (vpd) with , regional growth increasing traffic projections to 33,900 vpd by the year 2020. Existing traffic experiences unacceptable peak hour level of service (LOS) E (on an A to F scale). Without the proposed improvements level of service will , degrade to LOS F in the 2020 design year. With the proposed addition of travel lanes, the year 2020 level of service will improve to an acceptable LOS C. 3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The project proposes to widen the road from two lanes to four lanes to alleviate traffic congestion. Standard excavating and paving machinery will be used. Unavoidable impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. are the result of three separate crossings. These three crossings will be permitted seperately. Crossing 1 will result in approximately 270 linear feet of unavoidable permanent impacts to Perennial RPW Stream A (Paw Creek) (Figure 4, enclosed). These impacts result from culvert replacement and extension (110 linear f t f ee o increased length) and the placement of rip-rap aprons to protect the inlet and outlet of the extended culvert from erosion (160 linear feet):- Across-section of the-impacted portion of Strea A i i l d m s nc u ed as Figure 5 (enclosed). 4.

Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: The existing land use for the project area is residential with maintained lawns and large adjacent wooded areas. 3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property: 0.0 3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property: 2,139 linear feet 3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: The purpose of this project is to widen the existing two lane road to a four lane divided highway with curb and gutter, and sidewalks. This will improve the safety issues and traffic congestion currently experienced on this portion of Freedom Drive. Existing average daily traffic (ADT) along this section of Freedom Drive is 15,700 vehicles per day (vpd), with regional growth increasing traffic projections to 33,900 vpd by the year 2020. Existing traffic experiences unacceptable peak hour level of service (LOS) E (on an A to F scale). Without the proposed improvements, level of service will degrade to LOS F in the 2020 design year. With the proposed addition of travel lanes, the year 2020 level of service will improve to an acceptable LOS C. 3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The project proposes to widen the road from two lanes to four lanes to alleviate traffic congestion. Standard excavating and paving machinery will be used. Unavoidable impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. are the result of three separate crossings. These three crossings will be permitted seperately. Crossing 2 will result in approximately 298 linear feet of unavoidable permanent impacts to Perennial RPW Stream B (Figures 13, 14, and 15, enclosed). Impacts to Perennial RPW Stream B result from multiple extensions of existing driveway culverts and the placement of associated rip-rap at the driveway culverts. A cross-section of the embankment - ---slope revision used-to reduce impacts to Stream-B is included-as Figure 16 (enclosed). Stream-B-has-been ditched and straightened in the past and retains very few natural characteristics. 4. Jurisdictional Determinations 4a.

Avoidance and Minimization 1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project. Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent practicable. Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to downstream waters. Freedom Drive runs parallel to Perennial Stream B, with the stream running through front yards of properties along the southwest side of the roadway. Due to the stream and terrain, the residential and institutional (church) development along the southwest side of Freedom Drive are set back further than those on the opposite side of the roadway. The original site plan (Design Version 1) resulted in 436 linear feet of permanent impacts to Perennial Stream B (Figures 6 -8, enclosed). These potential impacts were the result of embankment extensions along the side of the widened roadway, driveway culvert extensions from higher and steeper driveways, rip-rap at inlets and outlets of driveway culverts, piping, and ditching the stream to beyond the proposed roadway embankment toe of slope. The intermediate revised plan (Design Version 2) resulted in a reduction of permanent impacts to Perennial Stream B by 77 linear feet, to a total of 359 linear feet (Figures 9 -12, enclosed). This reduction in impacts was achieved through reducing the length of rip-rap aprons associated with driveway culverts and reducing the length of stream for which ditching was proposed. In addition, the intermediate revised site plan would have resulted in the day-lighting of 80 linear feet of currently piped Stream B, and the relocation of a currently impaired portion of stream channel from beneath the extended embankment to a new geomorphically stable channel. The current revised site plan (Design Version 3) further reduces the impacts to Stream B to a total of 298 linear feet (Figures 13 -16, enclosed). It does this through the use of steeper side slopes along the roadway embankment between design Station 312+00 and Design Station 316+00. This revision eliminates impacts to the existing stream channel from the roadway embankment side slopes. This design change eliminates the need to construct a geomorphologically improved replacement channel. Day-lighting the 80-feet of existing piped stream is proposed as on-site mitigation for unavoidable impacts to Stream B. 1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques. Best Management Practices (BMP's) will be implemented during constuction to avoid further Impacts. Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to down stream waters. All construction will be conducted in the dry. 2.

Project Description 3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: The existing land use for the project area is residential with maintained lawns and large adjacent wooded areas. 3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property: 0.0 3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property: 2,139 linear feet 3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: The purpose of this project is to widen the existing two lane road to a four lane divided highway with curb and gutter, and sidewalks. This will improve the safety issues and traffic congestion currently experienced on this portion of Freedom Drive. Existing average daily traffic (ADT) along this section of Freedom Drive is 15,700 vehicles per day (vpd), with regional growth increasing traffic projections to 33,900 vpd by the year 2020. Existing traffic experiences unacceptable peak hour level of service (LOS) E (on an A to F scale). Without the proposed improvements, level of service will degrade to LOS F in the 2020 design year. With the proposed addition of travel lanes, the year 2020 level of service will improve to an acceptable LOS C. 3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The project proposes to widen the road from two lanes to four lanes to alleviate traffic congestion. Standard excavating and paving machinery will be used. Unavoidable impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. are the result of three separate crossings. These three crossings will be permitted seperately. Crossing 3 will result in unavoidable impacts to Unimportant Intermittent Stream C totaling approximately 220 linear feet (Figure 11, enclosed). Impacts to Non-RPW Stream B are the result of culvert replacement and extension and the placement of rip-rap. Impacts also include approximately 46 linear feet of hydrological severance. This portion of Non- -- - RPW C will be cut off from-its upstream watershed by the new-culvert beneath Freedom-Drive: - - - - 4. Jurisdictional Determinations 4a.

Westinghouse Blvd. Charlotte, NC 28273 Subject: Freedom Drive Widening Project; Charlotte, Mecklenburg County CWS Project No. 2008-2231 Dear Mr. M1acM --tin: 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. (There is a pre-1987 record of the Federally Endangered Carolina heelsplitter (Lasmigona devorata) from Paw Creek; however, the species has long been considered extirpated from this creek, and no surveys should need to be done for it.) 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.
