3j. Comments:
E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:*
Impacts to the jurisdictional stream located on the subject property have been avoided and minimized to the
ma)amum extent practicable; however, due to infrastructure improvements there are proposed impacts. One of the
intermittent streams runs from south to north and bisects the site and will require a road crossing to access both
the west and east sides of the subject property. The proposed crossing alignment has been aligned as close to 90
degrees as possible along the narrowest stream section to accommodate the necessary road width to access the
subject property and culverts to accommodate the volume of water within the ebsting stream.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:*
Proper sedimentation and erosion control methods will be utilized during all phases of construction and installation
as described in the Erosion Control Plan sheet reviewed and approved by the NC Division of Land Quality and City
of Charlotte. All work will take place during dry conditions and can be facilitated from high, non -jurisdictional, stable
ground. The contractor shall install silt fence, inlet protection, sediment traps, diversion ditches, tree protection,
clearing only as necessary to install devices. All erosion and sediment control measures will be checked for
stability and operation following every runoff producing rainfall, but in no case less than once every week. Any
needed repairs will be made immediately to maintain all measures designed. An erosion control inspections report
is required and will be kept by the owner's representative. Temporary seeding and permanent seeding plans are
included to restore impacted areas. The project will meet all relative requirements of Best Management Practices
and Engineered Stormwater Control Structures as outlined through State and Local Stormwater Rules.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?
f Yes
C No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
Permanent stream impacts have been minimized to less than 150 linear feet.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
*** Recent changes to the stormwater rules have required updates to this section .***
1. Diffuse Flow Plan

Ia. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection
Rules?
r" Yes r No
For a list of options to meet the diffuse flow requirements, click here.
If no, explain why:
The project is not located within area subject to state protected riparian buffers. However, a stormwater management plan has been
developed for the project and is described below.
The proposed development is located within the Catawba River basin with stormwater runoff from the proposed development draining into
Back Creek. Per City of Charlotte regulations, stormwater management on this site shall meet the stormwater management performance
standards for development set forth in the Charlotte Post Construction Stormwater Ordinance. The proposed project will result in a
significant increase in peak flow rates to downstream properties. To mitigate these impacts, the proposed stormwater management facility
has been sized such that post -development peak flow rates are no greater than pre -development levels in the 10-, and 25 -year storm
events on site. The proposed stormwater wet pond and sand filter are designed as 'optimal efficiency" stormwater facilities according the
Chapter 4.3 of the Charlotte -Mecklenburg BMP Design Manual (Revised July 1, 2013). The proposed stormwater facilities will provide the
required 85% TSS removal as well as the 70% total Phosphorus removal required in this watershed. If the development on this tract is built
as proposed within this report, then the requirements set forth in City of Charlotte regulations will be met without additional stormwater
management facilities. However, modifications to the proposed development may require that this analysis be revised.
2. Stormwater Management Plan
2a. Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250?
f Yes r No
2b. Does this project meet the requirements for low density projects as defined in 15A NCAC 02H .1003(2)?*
f Yes
r No
To look up low density requirement click here 15A NCAC 02H.1003(2).
2c. Does this project have a stormwater management plan (SMP) reviewed and approved under a state stormwater program or state -
approved local government stormwater program?*
r Yes
r" No
Fant: projects that have vested rights, exemptions, or grandfathering from state or locally irrplerrented storrrwater programs or projects that satisfy state or locally -implemented storrrwater prograrrs
through use of comrunity in -lieu programs should answer no to this question.

5j. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat?

On May 1, 2018, McAdams requested a species list from US Fish and Wildlife (USFWS) and potential occurrences
information from the NC Natural Heritage Program (NC NHP) for the project area. USFWS identified the following
protected species that may occur within the boundary of the proposed project and/or affected by the proposed
project: Northern Long-eared Bat (Myotis septentrionalis) — T, Carolina Heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorata) — E,
Michaux!s Sumac (Rhus michaubi) — E, Schweinitz!s Sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii) — E and Smooth
Coneflower (Echinacea laevigata) — E. NC NHP reported that there were no element occurrences of these species
within one mile of the project area. On June 15, 2018, Bryon Hamstead was contacted regarding the survey
requirements for these species. Mr. Hamstead indicated that surveys were not required for Carolina heelsplitter
and that the project occurs in location where any incidental take of Northern Long-eared Bat would be exempt
under its 4(d) rule.
Suitable habitat for Michaux!s Sumac, SchwelnitZs Sunflower and Smooth Coneflower is present within the sanitary
sewer easement that is located within the project area. Mr. Hamstead indicated there are records for SchwelniLfs
Sunflower within the project's vicinity and recommended a survey for this species during the optimal survey
window. On August 28, 2018, Jennifer Burdette with McAdams conducted a survey of the sanitary sewer easement
by completing two transects along the length of the easement and didn't find any of above species present.
The USFWS species list also identified Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) among other migratory bird species.
NC NHP did not identify nests within the project are or within 660 feet of the project area. Therefore, the project is
unlikely to disturb nesting bald eagles, and no Eagle Act permit is required.
6. Essential Fish Habitat (Corps Requirement)
6a. Will this project occur in or near an area designated as an Essential Fish Habitat?*
f Yes r No
6b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact an Essential Fish Habitat?*
The Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) Mapper (http://www.habitat.noaa.gov/protection/efh/efhmapper/) was accessed
on May 1, 2018 to determine that the project will not impact Essential Fish Habitat.
7. Historic or Prehistoric Cultural Resources (Corps Requirement)
Link to the State Historic Preservation Office Historic Properties Map (does not include archaeological data: hftp://gis.ncdcr.gov/hpovfeb/
7a. Will this project occur in or near an area that the state, federal or tribal governments have designated as having historic or cultural
preservation status (e.g., National Historic Trust designation or properties significant in North Carolina history and archaeology)? *
f Yes O No
7b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact historic or archeological resources?*
After McAdams' request for an environmental review of the proposed project, NC SHPO issued a letter on June 5,
2018 indicating that they are aware of no historic resources that would be affected by the project.
