SUBJECT: Request for Jurisdictional Determination
Rocky River Road West Improvements in Charlotte, NC
Mecklenburg County, North Carolina
SN Engineers, Inc. Project No. 4017637
Dear Mr. Schaeffer:
May 23, 2016
On behalf of the City of Charlotte, STV Engineers, Inc. (STV) is requesting written verification
from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) of the location and extent of jurisdictional
waters of the U.S. in the project study area. A Jurisdictional Determination Request Form is
enclosed in Attachment A. Figures are enclosed in Attachment B. The proposed project area,
referred to as the Rocky River Road West Improvements, is located from US 29 (North Tryon
Street) and extends along Rocky River Road West to just east of Rockland Drive in the City of
Charlotte, North Carolina (Attachment B— Figure 1). Important Note: A Jurisdictional
Determination (JD) was previously issued for the western portion of the project area, from US
29 to Batavia Lane (Action ID SAW-2014-01312, expiration date 9-24-19). A copy of this
Notification of Jurisdictional Determination is included as Attachment F for your convenience.
The ensuing request for JD is therefore focused on the eastern portion of the project area,
hereafter referred to as the project study area (PSA), situated between Batavia Lane and the
terminus of the project area east of Rockland Drive.
Based on the Mecklenburg County, NC Geographic Information System (GIS) data, 2013 aerial
imagery and verified by field review, the project study area (PSA) encompasses approximately
5.4 acres and consists primarily of developed residential properties adjacent to
disturbed/maintained roadways along the Rocky River Road West roadway. Undeveloped,
mixed pine/hardwood forested areas are located throughout the PSA. Two perennial streams
are located in the PSA along with an isolated, palustrine emergent wetland area. Adjacent to the
PSA are residential properties on the north side of Rocky River Road West and undeveloped
mixed pine/hardwood forested areas on the south side of the road and the eastern portion of the
PSA.

Inventory (NWI) mapping, Google Earth aerial photography, and the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Digital Soil Survey of
Mecklenburg County, North Carolina to help identify potential jurisdictional waters of the U.S.
Jurisdictional waters of the U.S. are defined by 33 CFR 328.3(b) and protected by Section 404
of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344), which is administered and enforced in North Carolina
by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Wilmington District. Potential wetland areas
were defined using the USACE Routine On-Site Determination method as described in the 1987
"Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual."' This technique uses a multi-parameter
approach, which requires positive evidence of hydrophytic vegetation, wetland hydrology, and
hydric soils. In addition, the USACE "Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland
Delineation Manual: Eastern Mountains and Piedmont Region (Version 2.0)"2 was utilized for
further procedural and technical guidance. Potential jurisdictional stream channels were
classified according to the most recent North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR,
formerly known as the North Carolina Division of Water Quality)3 methodology and USACE
guidance. The wetland boundaries and stream centerlines were approximated with a Trimble
GeoXH hand-held Global Positioning System (GPS) unit capable of subfoot accuracy and
mapped using ArcGIS 10.3 software.
Prior to fieldwork, the following references were reviewed to identify possible waters of the U.S.,
including wetland areas:
• U.S. Geological Service (USGS) 7.5-minute quadrangle maps {Derita and Harrisburg, NC
(1993)}
• U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) Map (Derita and
Harrisburg, NC)
• U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Soil Conservation Service (SCS) {now known as
Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)} Soil Survey of Mecklenburg County, NC
(2004)
• NRCS Soil Series Data, 2012
• USDA NAIP 2013, Aerial photography
The USGS map depicts two water resources or `blue line' features in the PSA. The USDA Soil
Survey also depicts two streams, including Toby Creek, in the PSA in the areas of the two
perennial streams. The USFWS NWI identifies Toby Creek and no wetlands within the PSA.
The Rocky River Road West PSA in Charlotte is located entirely within the northern outer
Piedmont Physiographic Province of North Carolina, which is characterized by broad, gently
rolling interstream areas and by steeper slopes along drainageways. Based on topographic
mapping (Attachment B— Figure 2), elevations in the PSA range from approximately 700 feet
above National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) to 650 feet NGVD. The highest elevation in
the PSA is located on Rocky River Road West in the western portion of the PSA. The lowest

elevation is located in the eastern portion of the PSA where Toby Creek exits the site.
According to the USDA SCS, the PSA contains four soil types: Enon sandy loam, 2 to 8 percent
slopes (EnB); Mecklenburg fine sandy loam, 8 to 15 percent slopes (MeD); Monacan loam, 0 to
2 percent slopes, frequently flooded (MO); and, Wilkes loam, 15 to 25 percent slopes (WkE)
(Attachment B— Figure 3). Monacan loam soils are considered to be hydric.
The PSA is located in the Rocky River (HUC8 03040105) drainage basin. The major streams in
the PSA are Toby Creek and an unnamed tributary to Toby Creek. The unnamed tributary to
Toby Creek generally flows in an eastern direction to Toby Creek. Toby Creek drains to the
north and into Mallard Creek. Mallard Creek drains to the Rocky River which drains into the
Yadkin-Pee Dee River.
FindinAs af Field Review
The majority of the PSA is dominated by disturbed/maintained roadways with some mixed
pine/hardwood forest that includes loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), tuliptree (Liriodendron tulipifera),
red maple (Acer rubrum), and sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) in the overstory and Chinese
privet (Ligustrum sinense), and saplings of the aforementioned species in the understory. The
herbaceous species that dominate the forested area include poison ivy (Toxicodendron
radicans) and Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica).
Jurisdictional Waters of the U. S.
Jurisdictional waters of the U.S. located within the PSA include two streams, RPW Stream A
and Toby Creek that were determined to be RPW's with perennial flow; see Attachment B—
Figure 4 for the approximate location of these jurisdictional waters of the U.S. within the PSA.
Representative photographs of the jurisdictional features are included in Attachment E. A brief
description of these jurisdictional waters of the U.S. follows.
Streams
RPW Stream A, an unnamed tributary to Toby Creek, is located in the southern portion of the
PSA (Attachment E— Photograph 1), extending from Batavia Lane east to Toby Creek. RPW
Stream A begins west of the PSA on the south side of Rocky River Road West, and flows east
and parallel to Rocky River Road West to its confluence with Toby Creek. RPW Stream A is
approximately 1,018 linear feet within the PSA and is depicted on the USGS mapping and the
Mecklenburg County Soils Survey. RPW Stream A drains to Toby Creek (RPW), which in turn
drains to Mallard Creek (RPW), which in turn drains to the Rocky River, which drains to the
Yadkin-Pee Dee River (Traditional Navigable Water). The most downstream reach of RPW
Stream A, prior to it exiting the PSA, is approximately fourteen feet wide with three foot bank
heights and is perennial. RPW Stream A was concluded to be jurisdictional, aquatically
important, and subject to regulation by the USACE.
Toby Creek is located in the eastern portion of the PSA, east of Rockland Drive. Toby Creek
begins off site to the south and drains north toward Mallard Creek. Approximately 250 linear feet
of Toby Creek is located within the PSA. Toby Creek is depicted on the USGS mapping and the
Mecklenburg County Soils Survey. Toby Creek is an RPW, which drains to Mallard Creek
(RPW), which in turn drains to the Rocky River, which drains to the Yadkin-Pee Dee River
(Traditional Navigable Water). The most downstream reach of Toby Creek, prior to it exiting the
PSA, is approximately twenty-five feet wide with five foot bank heights and is perennial. Toby

Creek was concluded to be jurisdictional, aquatically important, and subject to regulation by the
USACE.
More information on the individual stream characteristics of RPW Stream A can be found on the
NCDWR Stream Identification Form and USACE Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet
included in Attachment C.
Pofential Non jurisdictional Waters of the U. S.
Wetlands
Wetland Z is a small, seasonally ponded, emergent wetland area located on the northeast side
of the PSA, north of Rocky River Road West. The wetland receives hydrology from stormwater
runoff from the upland forest areas to the north and west and is a basin with no outlet, or
connection to other waters of the U.S. A berm separates the basin wetland from Toby Creek.
Approximately 0.01 acre of Wetland Z is located within the PSA. Wetland Z is classified as a
palustrine emergent wetland (Attachment E— Photograph 2). Occasional ponding within this
wetland is evident from the water marks and staining. Soils identified within the wetland had
features which indicate that the soils are saturated for a period of time (more than two weeks)
during the growing season. The soils survey for Mecklenburg County has mapped this wetland
area as Monacan loam. The wetland groundcover is dominated by species that include
smartweed (Persicaria hydropiper), sedges (Carex spp.), beggarticks (Bidens frondosa) and
bulrush (Scirpus sp.). Since there is no drainage outlet for the basin wetland, and no significant
nexus to downstream waters, this wetland was concluded to be isolated and non-jurisdictional.

Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points to each
characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the characteristics identified in the
worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or
weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character
of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more
continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each reach. The total score assigned to a stream reacll must range between 0 and 100, with a score of
100 representing a stream of the highest quality.

Explain: Wetland A is a basin wetland that has no outlet, and therefore no significant nexus to downstream waters.
' Boxes checked below shall be supported by completing the appropriate sections in Section [II below.
z For purposes of this fonn, an RP W is de£ned as a tributary that is not a TN W and that typically flows year-round or has continuous flow at least "seasonally"
(e.g., typically 3 months).
3 Suppor[ing documentation is presented in Section (II.F.

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 [II.D.1. 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:
2. Wetland adjacent to TNW
Summarize rationale supporting conclusion that wetland is "adjacent":
B. CHARACTERISTICS OF TRIBUTARY (THAT IS NOT A TNV1� AND ITS ADJACENT WETLANDS (IF AN1�:
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 signifcant nexus tinding is not required as a matter of law.
If the waterbody4 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. [f 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. [f the JD covers a tributary with adjacent wetlands, complete Section I[I.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 signifcant nexus exists is determined in Section III,C below.

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 signi�caotly affect the chemical, physical, and biological integrity
of a TNW. For each of the following situations, a signiticant 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 signiticant 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 ls 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 TNV�. 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 Rapa�aos 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 poUutants 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 fiznctions 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:
1. Significant nexus tindings 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 III.D: .
2. Significant nexus tindings for non-RPW and its adjacent wetlands, where the non-RPW flows directly or indirectly into

3. Significant nexus findings for wetlands adjacent to an RPW but that do not directly abut the RPW. Explain findings of

B. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS TO SUPPORT JD: The limits of jurisdictional waters of the U.S., Toby Creek (RPV� and RPW Stream
A were delineated by STV and the locations were approximated using a Trimble GeoXH hand-held GPS unik capable of sub-foot accuracy
(Figure 4- Approximate Waters of the U.S. and Wetlands Boundary Map). Stream A, an unnamed lributary of Toby Creek, was determined
to be a relatively permanent water (RPW) with perennial flow based on an OHWM, well-defined bed and banks, and some sediment
deposition. Wetland A was determined to be a non-jurisdictional basin feature that has no outlet, and therefore has no significant nexus to
downstream waters. Stream A is depicted as a a b(ue line on the USGS quadrangle and as a stream on the NRCS Soils Series Map. Stream A
flows to Toby Creek (RPW). Toby Creek flow to Mallard Creek (RPW) which flows to the Rocky River (RPW) which flows to the Yadkin-
Pee Dee River (TNW).
