Individual Permit Corps Additional Information Request
David/Karen:
Atlas Environmental, Inc. is submitting this package in response to David's email dated
September 4, 2018 in which he states the following:
"a. In accordance with 33 CFR 325.1(d)(2), all activities which the applicant plans to
undertake which are reasonably related to the same project for which a DA permit
would be required should be included in the same permit application. District engineers
should reject, as incomplete, any permit application which fails to comply with this
requirement. For example, a permit application for a marina will include dredging
required for access as well as any fill associated with construction of the marina.
It is appears from the plans submitted with the application that Horton Road would be
improved to provide adequate access to the project site. If this is the case, please revise
the delineation of waters and plans as appropriate to include this area. Additionally, a
map showing the sewer alignment was included with the permit application. However, it
is unclear from the application why impacts associated with this line were not included
in this permit application. Please provide a delineation of the sewer line alignment and
revise the project plans and impact amounts to include all impacts to waters of the U.S.
associated with this line. Alternatively, please provide a detailed rationale of why the
sewer line should be considered separately from this project. This rationale should
discuss the funding source of the sewer line, who would build the line, what other
project would use the line (if any), when the other projects would be built, and the status
of other the state/local authorization required to build the other projects."

Atlas Response to Horton Road Improvements and Charlotte Intermodal
Distribution Center Sewer Line:
Please see the revised aquatic resource maps. The aquatic resource table has been
included as well but it did not change. The maps have been revised to include the road
widening improvements along Horton Road. There are no streams, wetlands, open
water, or isolated waters along Horton Road within the road widening improvement
corridor. Please see the enclosed photographs that represent the existing conditions
along both sides of Horton Road and the intersection with Garrison Road.
The aquatic resource maps have also been revised to include the sewer line project that
will be constructed by The Silverman Group to tie into the new Charlotte Water public
sewer line project. The Silverman Group's section of the sewer line (shown in orange
on the enclosed Charlotte Water Public Sewer Extension — Parcel Map) may always
solely serve the Charlotte Intermodal Distribution Center project. However, if the
Mecklenburg County owned parcels on either side of this sewer line are ever developed
or sold, any facilities constructed on these parcels will have access to sewer along this
section of line.
There are no streams, wetlands, open water, or isolated waters within the corridor of the
Charlotte Intermodal Distribution Center section of sewer line. The placement of this
section of sewer line was not an ideal location for the project but this route was
traversed and chosen because no impacts to jurisdictional waters or state waters are
required for construction. The more ideal location for the sewer line would have been in
the southeast corner of the Charlotte Intermodal Distribution Center parcel but this route
would have required impacts to wetlands.
Atlas Response to Charlotte Water Public Sewer Project:
Please see the enclosed Charlotte Water Public Sewer Extension — Parcel Map and
Charlotte Water Public Sewer Extension — USGS Map. Charlotte Water's service
watershed in this area is 1,115 acres. The maps show the existing Charlotte Water
sewer lines and access tunnels as green polylines. The proposed Charlotte Water trunk
sewer line project is delineated as a red polyline. The Jurisdictional Determination
request should be submitted soon for this project. Once the delineation is approved in
the field, engineering will be finalized. A permit application will be submitted once the
delineation has been field verified by the Corps and a grading plan is finalized. Alan
Johnson has reviewed the sewer route in the field with Atlas staff.
Future expansions of Charlotte Water sewer lines are shown as magenta polylines.
These future expansions include three separate lines: one line that will serve Garrison
Road and upper Horton Road, one line that will serve West Blvd/Steele Creek Road,
and one line that will serve Shopton/Steele Creek Road. There are existing tunnels
under 1-485 that were purposely constructed for the two future expansions on the east

side of 1-485. The City of Charlotte owns most of the parcels on the east side of 1-485
within the drainage area. The City is working to purchase the remaining parcels. This
land will more than likely be developed in the future as an expansion of the Charlotte
Intermodal Terminal, the Charlotte Douglas International Airport, and/or as
industrial/commercial development due to the proximity to 1-485, the airport, and the
intermodal terminal. There is already one industrial building at the corner of West Blvd
and Steele Creek Road.
Funding Source of the Sewer Line:
The orange sewer line segment will be paid for and constructed by The Silverman
Group as part of the Charlotte Intermodal Distribution Center. This sewer line will be
sized to serve the Charlotte Intermodal Distribution Center project. This line may solely
serve this project. As previously stated and illustrated this sewer line has been added
to the aquatic resource map for the project.
As with most Charlotte Water extension projects that are required for new development
The Silverman Group will pay for construction of the trunk sewer line shown on the
maps in red. The Silverman Group will be seeking reimbursement of the funds for the
trunk sewer line project from Charlotte Water. Charlotte Water is requiring that this line
be constructed as a 12" line as opposed to an 8" line since it is a Charlotte Water public
trunk line that will serve additional properties and be expanded in the future.
Who Will Build the Line:
The Silverman Group will construct the orange segment of the sewer line and will not be
asking for reimbursement. Charlotte Water will have direct approval, oversight, and
management for the trunk sewer line and will be the permittee for this project. Charlotte
Water will have a project manager assigned to the trunk sewer project. Charlotte Water
will advertise the construction of this project and award the contractor of choice.
What Other Project Would use the Line:
Atlas has direct knowledge of two other projects within this service area that will tie into
Charlotte Water's trunk sewer line (the red polyline). Due to client — consultant
confidentiality privileges Atlas is not at liberty to discuss project specifics concerning
these two projects. However, the Corps and DWR are aware of both projects that are
located on Garrison Road. The Corps and DWR have conducted site visits at both
projects. In addition to the two projects that Atlas has direct knowledge of, grading is
occurring on a parcel along Horton Road. Atlas has no direct knowledge of the timing of
or nature of this project. Almost all the parcels along Garrison Road are currently for
sale so development of the Garrison Road corridor is imminent.

When the Other Projects Would be Built and Status of Other State/Local Authorizations
Required to Build Other Projects:
One of the projects that Atlas has direct knowledge of has been permitted through the
Corps and DWR. The project is being engineered. While development is market
driven, it is anticipated that this project will be constructed within the next 1-2 years.
This project will require City plan approval. The project has been presented
to City planning but has not been officially submitted for approval as the final plans are
not finished.
The delineation on second project that Atlas has direct knowledge of has been field
approved by the Corps. DWR has also conducted a site visit. This project is currently
being engineered including the grading plan. While development of this parcel is
market driven as well, it is anticipated that this project will move forward with
Corps/DWR permitting within the next 6-12 months and be constructed within the next
1-2 years. The developer is actively marketing this project. The developer has
conducted meetings with the City to discuss the conceptual site plan.
In summary, the section of sewer line that may solely serve the Charlotte Intermodal
Distribution Center has been added to the aquatic resource maps. There are no
jurisdictional waters or isolated waters within the corridor of this sewer line. The
separate Charlotte Water trunk sewer line project will be a public utility project that will
be constructed to allow for future expansion within the 1,115 acre drainage area.
Thank you for your attention to the enclosed additional information. Please contact me
if you need any additional information.
