Dear Mr. Chapin:
We request the use of Nationwide Permits 18 and 39 for proposed impacts to jurisdictional
features for the Perimeter Woods mixed-use development in Charlotte, NC. Specifically, we
request the use of Nationwide Permit 18 for stream impacts associated with widening of Reames
Road. The applicant, Perimeter Woods Development, is required by the Charlotte Department of
Transportation to relocate the Perimeter Parkway/Reames Road intersection and as a result widen
Reames Road thereby resulting in stream impacts. In addition, a small wetland (.09 acres) has
been impacted as a result of previous grading activities related to the proposed development. The
wetland impact did not require notification to the USACE or NC DWQ and at the time was
believed to be the only impact that would occur. We request approval of the wetland impact
under Nationwide 39. As proposed, the project will involve the construction of retail, office, and
multifamily residential buildings on t69 acres of land.
The applicant proposes to impact 52 linear feet (.03 acres) of perennial stream channel as a result
of the culvert extensions. The proposed culverts will be designed to `line up' with the existing
12' x 12' box culverts under Reames Road. As such the proposed culverts will not be buried

1' below the stream bed. The existing culverts were installed at the elevation of the stream.
The applicant requests a waiver from the USACE Nationwide Permit regional condition
that culverts over 48" diameter be buried 1' below the streambed.
The applicant's engineer has obtained a letter from the Mecklenburg County Land Use and
Environmental Services Agency regarding acceptance of the proposed activity as related to
floodplain ordinances (see attached).
Because proposed impacts are below #3402 permit thresholds (less than 1/3 acre of waters,
1/10 acre of wetland, and 1501E of stream impact) we are sending the required (2) courtesy
copies to the NC DWQ for the NW 18 request and not a full 5-copy notification.
Please call if you have questions or comments regarding the information provided.

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It maybe useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. See attached letter from client
reaardin~ history of zoning; approvals. Road widening mandate from City that results in stream
impact was not wanted or envisioned by developer. Based on the site constraints presented by the
road and wetland locations the impacts are difficult to avoid
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
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
Page 9 of 12

mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that maybe 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.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o. enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
Due to small amount of impacts applicant contends compensato miti ation not
required. 100' SWIM Buffer is in place along Long Creek No other stream or wetland
impacts proposed beyond those requested. Stormwater management facilities (wet pond) has
been constructed to meet 85%TSS. Facility constructed outside of 100' SWIM buffer

Re: Proposed Long Creek Culvert Extension at Reames Road
North Charlotte, NC
Dear Mr. Chapin:
In July of 2005, Perimeter Woods Investors, LLC obtained approval of Rezoning Petition 2005-11
allowing for the development of a mixed-use commercial center including retail, office, and multifamily
residential. An extensive Transportation Study was prepared as a part of the Rezoning Petition and was
approved by CDOT and NCDOT as a part of the Petition. This Transportation study, with input by CDOT
and NCDOT ultimately determined the relocation of the Perimeter Parkway and Reames Road
intersection. Note also, that prior to the approval of the Rezoning Petition, a wetlands delineation was
performed in 2004, and approved by the USACE.
During the subsequent Subdivision review process which began in April of 2006, the City of Charlotte
Department of Transportation determined that additional widening of Reames Road, beyond that earlier
contemplated during the rezoning process, would need to be provided south of the Reames Road and
approved Perimeter Parkway intersection. As a result, CDOT, with the support of NCDOT has required
that the existing Long Creek Culvert at Reames Road be extended eastward as described for the
additional road widening, and other required elements associated with the road widening such as
sidewalks, as required in Chapter 19 of the City Code, resulting in the defined stream impacts.
The City of Charlotte has agreed to fund a small percentage of the cost of the culvert extension since it is
being required by the City, however, the majority of the costs associated with design and construction of
both the proposed culvert extension and the road widening will be borne by the developer. Further, the
City of Charlotte has stipulated certain limitations in the allowable square footage of development allowed
until the culvert extension is complete.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.
Sincerely,
A ~ n

RE: Reames Road Culvert Extension, Perimeter Woods
Dear Kevin:
We are in receipt of your Floodplain Development Permit (FDP) application for the Reames
Road culvert extension project in the Perimeter Woods subdivision. The City of Charlotte
Floodplain Regulations will allow the culvert extension to be installed upon approval and
issuance of the FDP from this office. I am not aware of any other Mecklenburg County
regulations that would prohibit the culvert extension project from being completed or violate any
county regulations if installed as approved.
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
Sincerely,
William R. Tingle
Floodplain Administrator
