McAlpine Creek Environmental Restoration Project - SR3 Repairs
Carolina Wetland Services Project No. 2014-3475

Dear Mr. Kichefski:
The McAlpine Creek Environmental Restoration Project is located along approximately 5,200 linear
feet (lf) of McAlpine Creek from Sardis Road to Providence Road (NC-16) in Charlotte, North
Carolina (Figure 1, attached). The purpose of this project is to make repairs to previously restored
stream channel along stream reach 3 (SR3). Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services (CMSWS)
has contracted Carolina Wetland Services, Inc. (CWS) to provide Section 404/401 permitting services
for this project.

Project History
The purpose of this project was to restore the geomorphic stability and enhance the aquatic habitat of
this reach of McAlpine Creek and adjacent tributaries.

In 2009, Nationwide Permits Numbers (NWP Nos.) 3, 27, and 33 (SAW-2009-01376, attached) and
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Water Quality Certification Numbers 3687, 3688, and 3689
(DWQ# 05-1797V2, attached) were issued for this project. The project was permitted to temporarily
impact 7,603 linear feet of channel for Priority I, II, and III Stream Restoration and 0.007 acre of
permanent wetland impact (Figure 2, attached).

Construction was completed in early 2013 and all impacts were completed as permitted except for fill
in a channel reach (Perennial RPW Stream B, SR2) that was abandoned for a new Priority I
Restoration channel. Previously permitted linear footage and acreage of on-site jurisdictional waters
of the U.S. are summarized in Table 1, next page.

Purpose and Need for the Project
The purpose of this project is to repair the previously restored SR3 reach to ensure that the project
meets the mitigation success criteria. This reach is currently exhibiting instability, including erosion
and bank failures. Repairs will be to approximately 370 linear feet (lf) of channel above its confluence
to McAlpine Creek. Photographs A-F are representative of the current conditions.

Avoidance and Minimization
Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent practicable.
Restoration work will result in an improvement in stream stability and ecological function. Proper
sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to downstream waters. All
channel work will be constructed in the dry in accordance with Water Quality Certification No. 3885.

Proposed Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters
Unavoidable impacts to Seasonal RPW Stream A (SR3) total approximately 370 linear feet. Permanent
impacts include approximately 370 linear feet of channel repairs. The proposed repair plan and profile of
the reach is attached as Figure 3. Proposed impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. are
summarized in Table 2, next page.
