APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Condition
Dear Mr. Garbark:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact
0.16 acre of wetland (0.07 acre, permanent) and 175 linear feet (70 linear feet, permanent) of unnamed
tributary to Back Creek in order to construct a sewer line extension in Mecklenburg County, as described in
your application received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on January 9, 2006. After reviewing your
application, we have determined that this project is covered by Water Quality General Certification Number
3374, which can be viewed on our web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. The General Certification
allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 12 once it is issued to you by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Please note that you should get any other federal, state or local permits before proceeding with your project,
including those required by (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge, and Water
Supply Watershed regulations.
The above noted Certification will expire when the associated 404 permit expires unless otherwise
specified in the General Certification. This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described
in your application. If you change your project, you must notify us in writing, and you may be required to send
us a new application for a new certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the

In addition to the requirements of the certification, you must also comply with the following conditions:
1. All wetlands, streams, surface waters, and riparian buffers located on the project site where impacts are not
allowed shall be clearly marked (example- orange fabric fencing) prior to any land disturbing activities.
2. Use of native vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization techniques must be used where practicable
instead of riprap or other bank hardening methods. If riprap is necessary, it shall not be placed in the
streambed, unless approved by the DWQ.
3. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum extent
practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable,
they shall be removed and the natural grade restored within two months of the date the Division of Land
Resources has released the project.
4. Upon completion of the project, the applicant shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" form to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality.

DATE: January 24, 2006
SUBJECT: Review of a 401 Certification Application, Caldwell Annex Sewer, Unnamed
Tributaries of Back Creek, Mecklenburg County
Charlotte Mecklenburg Utilities Division (CMUD) is requesting 401 Water Quality Certification
from the North Carolina Division of Water Quality for utilities to be provided in an area annexed
by the City of Charlotte. The NCWRC has reviewed information provided by the applicant, and
field biologists on our staff are familiar with habitat values of the project area. These comments
are provided in accordance with provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et.
seq.) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended-, 16 U.S.C. 661-
667d).
The project is to install 9,430 linear feet of sewer line within a residential development. Impacts
will be to Unnamed Tributaries of Back Creek. According to historical records, the Carolina
heelsplitter, Lasmigona decorata (NCE, FE) previously populated the area.
Based on our in-office review of the submittal, we offer the following recommendations for the
project:
Although the heelsplitter is likely extirpated from the area, prior to direct cuts across
area streams, professional surveys for the Carolina heelsplitter and other listed species
should be accomplished by properly certified biologists for streams that contain
suitable Carolina heelsplitter habitats. Alternatively, directional boring
methodologies may be used for stream crossings without biological surveys.

2. Where possible, utilities should be placed along the edge of the floodplain and away
from streams and wetlands to the extent practicable.
3. This annexation and utility line project will cause additional imperviousness to the
area which will aggravate stormwater issues and precipitate additional stresses to area
streams. The City of Charlotte should require stormwater management that maintains
current hydrographs. Low Impact Development (LID) techniques are encouraged.
Information on LID practices and measures can be found at
www.lowiniDi tdevelo nient.on,
4. Where direct cuts are allowed, natural stream dimensions must be restored upon
project completion.
5. Any riprap used for stabilization at utility crossings must be installed in a manner that
will not impede aquatic life migration.
6. Work should be accomplished in small phases. Each phase should be stabilized prior
to beginning clearing operations and moving on to the next phase.
7. Where trees are removed, they should be placed along the right-of-way to form
habitats for small wildlife species. Periodic openings should be provided every 200
to 300 feet for animal movements.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If you have any questions
regarding these comments, please contact me at 336/769-9453.

Jurisdictional Delineation
On May 10, 2005 CWS's Gregg Antemann, PWS and Ron Johnson, WPIT delineated (flagged in the
field) and classified on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. using the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) - Routine On-Site Determination Method. This method is defined in the 1987 Corps of
Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual.3 There are eleven jurisdictional wetland areas located within
proximity to the project corridors (Wetlands AA - LL). Routine On-Site Data Fonns representative of
these wetland areas and adjacent non jurisdictional upland areas have been enclosed (DPI - DP5).
Jurisdictional waters of the U.S. were classified according to recent North Carolina Division of Water
Quality (NCDWQ)4 and USACE guidance.
The results of the on-site field investigation indicate that there are four jurisdictional stream channels
(Streams A - D) located within the project corridors (Figure 1, enclosed). Streams A - D are unnamed
tributaries to Back Creek. Back Creek is located within the Yadkin River basin (HU4 03040105)5. Back
Creek is classified as "Class C" by the NCDWQ. On-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. total
approximately 1.95 acres (84,942 square feet), summarized as follows:

Agency Correspondence
Cultural Resources
A letter was forwarded to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on November 10, 2005 to
determine the presence of any areas of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance that
would be affected by the project. In a response letter, dated December 7, 2005, SHPO stated that they
"are aware of no historic resources that would be affected by the project."
Protected Species
A letter was forwarded to the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) on
November 10, 2005 to determine the presence of any federally-listed, candidate endangered,
threatened species or critical habitat located within the project area. In a response letter, dated
November 22, 2005 (enclosed), the NCNHP stated that they "have no record of rare species,
significant natural communities, or priority natural areas at the site nor within a mile of the project
area." The NCNHP also stated that they have a 19th century record of the Federally Endangered
Carolina Heelsplitter (Lasmigopa decorata) in a creek less than a mile away, however this population
has long been considered extirpated.

Protected Species Survey
A protected species review was conducted to detenmine the potential for the occurrence of animal and
plant species formally proposed or listed as endangered or threatened by current Federal regulations
[Federal Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)] within the subject project corridor.
The review consisted of a literature and records search, and pedestrian observations performed by
CWS biologists on November 17, 2005. CWS consulted the North Carolina Natural Heritage
Program's (NCNHP) Natural Element Occurrence Search Page for Mecklenburg County6. The data
contained in this database was last updated January, 2004. CWS also consulted the NCNHP Element
Occurrences GIS layer which revealed that no known occurrences of federally listed species are
located within a 1.5 mile radius of the proposed project site. The data contained within this layer was
last updated June, 2005. According to the NCNHP database and the North Carolina Department of
Natural Resources' (NCDNR) Threatened and Endangered Species database, there are four Federally
Endangered species listed for Mecklenburg County, including the Carolina heelsplitter
(Lasmigona decorata), smooth coneflower (Echinacea laevigata), Schweinitz's sunflower
(Helianthus schiveinitztt), and Michaux's sumac (Rhus tuichauxii). These databases also revealed one
federally-threatened species for Mecklenburg County, the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus). It
was proposed for de-listing in 1999. One Candidate for federal listing, Georgia aster
(Symphyotrichum geotgianum), has also been observed in this county (Table 1). Plant species
observed during the pedestrian survey were identified to species or to the lowest taxonomic level
necessary to determine if the observed specimen was a protected species. Plant species identified in
this report follow taxonomy described by Radford, et al.' The following section describes the
potential on-site habitats.
On-Site Habitat
The site consists of woods, roadsides, and woodland edges adjacent to residential areas. The existing
community is a Mesic Mixed Hardwood Forests. Dominant tree species included ironwood
(Cat pinus caroliniana), tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera), sweet gum (Liquidanibar styraciflua), red
cedar (Juniperus virginiana), and red elm (Ulntus rubra). Dominant vegetation along woodland edges
and roadsides included privet (Ligustrum sinense), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica),
common blackberry (Rubus argutus), narrowleaf lespedeza (Lespedeza angustifolia), dog fennel
(Eupatorium capillifolium), broomsedge (Andropogon virginicus), goldenrod (Solidago sp.), and
various grasses (Poa spp.) and sedges (Carex spp.).

Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)
The bald eagle is currently a state and federally-listed threatened (T) species that is proposed for
delisting. This bird nests in mature live pines or cypress trees in the transition zone between mature
forests and large bodies of water. Nests are cone-shaped, 6-8 feet tall and 6 feet or more in diameter,
and usually less than two miles from large bodies of open water. Winter roosts are usually in mature
trees, similar to nesting trees, but may be somewhat farther from water. No potential nests or
individual eagles were observed during the field review.
Carolina heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorata)
The Carolina heelsplitter is listed in North Carolina and Federally as Endangered (E). The Carolina
heelsplitter is found in small to large streams and rivers as well as ponds over a variety of substrates
usually near stable, well-shaded stream banks. Most individuals are found in undercuts and along
shaded banks stabilized with extensive tree roots, a buried log, or rocks .9 On-site perennial streams
exhibited poor to moderately suitable substrate and shade regimes for this species.
Georgia aster (&nphyotrichum georQianum)
Georgia aster is currently listed as a candidate (C) species for federal protection. It is a perennial herb
historically associated with post oak (Quercus stellata) savanna/prairie communities that existed in
the southeast U.S. prior to fire suppression and extirpation of large grazing animals. Today, the
species can be found adjacent to roads, along dry, rocky woodlands, and within utility right-of-ways.
Similar to Schweinitz's sunflower, this species survives in maintained areas that mimic natural
disturbance regimes. Suitable habitat does exist within the project corridor and was surveyed
accordingly.
Smooth coneflower (Echinacea laevieata)
Smooth coneflower is listed in North Carolina and federally as an Endangered (E) species. This plant
is known from open woods, cedar barrens, roadsides, dry limestone bluffs, utility right-of-ways, and
other sunny to partly sunny locations on calcium-or magnesium-rich soils associated with limestone.

This species occurs in xeric hardpan forests and diabase glades, as described by Shafale and Weakley
(1990). The subject property does not include appropriate habitat and no individuals of this species
were observed during the field review.
Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schiveinitzii)
Schweinitz's sunflower is a perennial herb limited to the Piedmont of North and South Carolina. It is
listed as a federally endangered (E) species. The typical habitat for this plant includes roadsides, old
pastures, transmission line rights-of-way, open areas, and edges of upland woods. Major
characteristics of soils associated with suitable Schweinitz's sunflower habitat include thin soils, soils
on upland interstream flats or gentle slopes, those which are clayey in texture (and often with
substantial rock fragments), those which have a high shrink-swell capacity, and those which vary over
the course of the year from very wet to very dry. Suitable habitat for this species is present along
woodland edges and roadsides.
The results of the record search and survey of the area indicate the site contains areas of potential
habitat for Carolina heelsplitter, Schweinitz's sunflower, and Georgia aster. The on-site habitats for
the Carolina heelsplitter were of poor to fair quality, displaying moderate shade conditions, stable
streambanks, and few undercuts. On-Site habitats for Schweinitz's sunflower and Georgia aster were
of fair to good quality, displaying the ideal soil composition, light infiltration, and moisture regime
combination required by this species. A photograph of potential habitat for Schweinitz's sunflower
and Georgia aster is enclosed as Photograph D. Despite the presence of suitable habitat, no evidence
of Carolina heelsplitter and no Schweinitz's sunflower, or Georgia aster were observed within the
project area at the time of the field investigation. The results of this investigation led to the biological
conclusion that no Carolina heelsplitter, Schweinitz's sunflower, or Georgia aster would be impacted
by future projects.
Purpose and Need for the Project
Charlotte Mecklenburg Utilities (CMU) is the department of the City of Charlotte charged with
providing potable water and sanitary sewer services to areas that have been annexed by the City in
accordance with CMU's annexation policy. Under this policy, the service level to be provided
includes basic fire protection and installation of sanitary sewer trunk mains or common force mains
required to extend sewer service to each publicly dedicated street. The neighborhood surrounding the
Caldwell sewer line is contained within an area annexed by the City of Charlotte. The proposed line
is designed to provide the residents in this area with sanitary sewer service.
Avoidance and Minimization
Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent
practicable. Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to
downstream waters. Pipe joints will be required within the footprint of the stream channel since
stream crossing lengths exceed typical pipe material lengths (18-20 feet). Construction activities and
impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters meet the following general conditions of Water Quality
Certification 93374:
• The construction corridor will not be installed parallel to and closer than 10 feet to a stream or
25 feet to waters classified as HQW. The sewer line will cross stream channels at or near-
perpendicular angles (between 75 degrees and 105 degrees).
• Measures will be taken to prevent live or fresh concrete from coming into contact with waters
of the state until concrete has hardened.

• Placement of rip rap will be restricted to the stream bottom and banks directly impacted by the
placement of the utility line. Rip rap will only be used below the normal high water level.
The stream cross section will be restored to its original grade and placement of rip rap will not
result in destabilization of stream bed or banks upstream or downstream of the crossing.
• The construction corridor will be limited to 40 feet in width in wetlands and across stream
channels and will be minimized to the maximum extent practicable.
• Permanent, maintained access corridors will be restricted to no more than 10 feet in width.
• Wetland crossings have been reduced to less than 150 feet in length and will not require anti-
seep collars.
Proposed Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters
Unavoidable, temporary impacts to Wetland DD total approximately 0.02 acre. These impacts are a
result of clearing activities. Unavoidable impacts to Wetland GG total approximately 0.03 acre.
Approximately 0.02 acre of these impacts are permanent and 0.01 acre are temporary impacts and are a
result of clearing activities. Unavoidable impacts to Wetland HH total approximately 0.07 acre, 0.05
acre of which are permanent impacts and 0.02 acre are temporary. These impacts are a result of clearing
activities. Unavoidable impacts to Wetland JJ total approximately 0.03 acre, 0.02 acre of which are
permanent impacts and 0.01 acre are temporary. These impacts are a result of clearing activities.
Unavoidable, temporary impacts to Wetland LL total approximately 0.01 acre and are a result of clearing
activities. Approximately 70 linear feet of Perennial Stream A will be impacted by the proposed sewer
line. Approximately 20 linear feet of these impacts are the result of rip rap placement and the remaining
50 linear feet are temporary impacts as a result of construction activities. Approximately 70 linear feet
of Perennial Stream B will be impacted. These impacts are the result of 20 linear feet of rip rap
placement and 50 linear feet of temporary impacts from construction activities. Approximately 105
linear feet of Perennial Stream C will be impacted. These impacts are the result of 30 linear feet of rip
rap placement and 75 linear feet of temporary impacts from construction activities (Figure 2, enclosed).
A typical stream crossing design has been enclosed as Figure 3. Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters
are summarized as follows:

Compensatory Mitigation
Construction of this project has limited the amount of permanent wetland impacts to less than 0.10
acre. Therefore, no mitigation is currently being proposed. Areas cleared for the 40-foot temporary
construction easement will be returned to their original contours and re-vegetated with native,
herbaceous species.
Please do not hesitate to contact us at 704-527-1177 should you have any questions or comments
regarding these findings.

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent
practicable. Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize
disturbances to downstream waters. Pipe joints will be required within the footprint of the
stream channel since stream crossing, lengths exceed typical pipe material lengths (18-20
VIII. Mitigation
Construction of this project has limited the amount of permanent wetland impacts to less than
0.10 acre. Therefore. no mitigation is currently being proposed. Areas cleared for the 40-
foot temporarv construction easement will be returned to their original contours and re-
ve<.zetated with native. herbaceous species.
1. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NC`VRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCNVRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide

Dear Mr. Jenkins:
The Natural Heritage Program has no record of rare species, significant natural conununities, or
priority natural areas at the site nor within a mile of the project area. (Technically, there is a 19th
Century record of the Federally Endangered Carolina heelsplitter [Lasnzigona decorata] from a
creels less than a mile away. However, that population has long been considered as extirpated.)
Although our maps do not show records of such natural heritage elements in the project area, it
does not necessarily mean that they are not present. It may simply mean that the area has not
been surveyed. The use of Natural Heritage Program data should not be substituted for actual
field surveys, particularly if the project area contains suitable habitat for rare species, significant
natural communities, or priority natural areas.
You may wish to check the Natural Heritage Program database website at
<Nv-?vw.ncsparlcs.net/nhp/search.htmI> for a listing of rare plants and animals and significant
natural communities in the county and on the topographic quad map. Please do not hesitate to
contact me at 919-715-8697 if you have questions or need further information.

Jurisdictional Delineation
On May 10, 2005 CWS's Gregg Antemann, PWS and Ron Johnson, WPIT delineated (flagged in the
field) and classified on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. using the U.S. Anny Corps of Engineers
(USACE) - Routine On-Site Determination Method. This method is defined in the 1987 Corps of
Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual.3 There are eleven jurisdictional wetland areas located within
proximity to the project corridors (Wetlands AA - LL). Routine On-Site Data Fortis representative of
these wetland areas and adjacent non jurisdictional upland areas have been enclosed (DPI - DP5).
Jurisdictional waters of the U.S. were classified according to recent North Carolina Division of Water
Quality (NCDWQ)4 and USACE guidance.
The results of the on-site field investigation indicate that there are four jurisdictional stream channels
(Streams A - D) located within the project corridors (Figure 1, enclosed). Streams A - D are unnamed
tributaries to Back Creek. Back Creek is located within the Yadkin River basin (HU# 03040105)5. Back
Creek is classified as "Class C" by the NCDWQ. On-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. total
approximately 1.95 acres (84,942 square feet), summarized as follows:

Perennial Streams
Perennial channels (Streams A - D) exhibited average ordinary high water widths of 10-12 feet
(Stream A) and 2-5 feet (Streams B - D), a continuous bed and bank, significant aquatic life, perennial
flow, and substrates consisting of fine sand to large cobbles (Figure 1, enclosed). There are
approximately 263 linear feet of perennial stream channels located with the project corridor.
Photographs of Perennial Streams B and C are enclosed as Photographs A and B, respectively.
Wetlands
Wetlands AA, BB and LL are contiguous with Perennial Streams D and B (Figure 1, enclosed).
Dominant vegetation within these areas includes soft stem rush (Juncus effusus), silky dogwood
(Corpus amomum), elderberry (Sambucus canadensis), shallow sedge (Carex lurida), jewelweed
(Impatiens capensis), and privet (Ligustrum sinense). These forested wetland areas exhibited low
chroma soils (2.5Y 4/2), mottles (5YR 4/6), oxidized root channels, and saturation within the upper
12 inches of the soil profile. A Routine On-Site Determination Form representing Wetlands AA, BB
and LL is enclosed (DPI).
Wetlands CC - FF are located near the confluence of Perennial Streams B and C (Figure 1, enclosed).
Dominant vegetation within these areas includes Napalese browntop (Alicrostegium vinrineum),

Agency Correspondence
Cultural Resources
A letter was forwarded to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on November 10, 2005 to
determine the presence of any areas of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance that
would be affected by the project. In a response letter, dated December 7, 2005, SHPO stated that they
"are aware of no historic resources that would be affected by the project."
Protected Species
A letter was forwarded to the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) on
November 10, 2005 to determine the presence of any federally-listed, candidate endangered,
threatened species or critical habitat located within the project area. In a response letter, dated
November 22, 2005 (enclosed), the NCNHP stated that they "have no record of rare species,
significant natural communities, or priority natural areas at the site nor within a mile of the project
area." The NCNHP also stated that they have a 19`h century record of the Federally Endangered
Carolina Heelsplitter (Lasrnigona decorata) in a creek less than a mile away, however this population
has long been considered extirpated.

Protected Species Survey
A protected species review was conducted to detennine the potential for the occurrence of animal and
plant species fonnally proposed or listed as endangered or threatened by current Federal regulations
[Federal Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)] within the subject project corridor.
The review consisted of a literature and records search, and pedestrian observations performed by
CWS biologists on November 17, 2005. CWS consulted the North Carolina Natural Heritage
Program's (NCNHP) Natural Element Occurrence Search Page for Mecklenburg County 6. The data
contained in this database was last updated January, 2004. CWS also consulted the NCNHP Element
Occurrences GIS layer which revealed that no known occurrences of federally listed species are
located within a 1.5 mile radius of the proposed project site. The data contained within this layer was
last updated June, 2005. According to the NCNHP database and the North Carolina Department of
Natural Resources' (NCDNR) Threatened and Endangered Species database, there are four Federally
Endangered species listed for Mecklenburg County, including the Carolina heelsplitter
(Lasmigona decorata), smooth coneflower (Echinacea laevigata), Schweinitz's sunflower
(Helianthus schiveinitzii), and Michaux's sumac (Rhus rttichauxii). These databases also revealed one
federally-threatened species for Mecklenburg County, the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus). It
was proposed for de-listing in 1999. One Candidate for federal listing, Georgia aster
(Symphyotrichum geotgiarrum), has also been observed in this county (Table 1). Plant species
observed during the pedestrian survey were identified to species or to the lowest taxonomic level
necessary to detennine if the observed specimen was a protected species. Plant species identified in
this report follow taxonomy described by Radford, et aL7 The following section describes the
potential on-site habitats.
On-Site Habitat
The site consists of woods, roadsides, and woodland edges adjacent to residential areas. The existing
community is a Mesic Mixed Hardwood Forest'. Dominant tree species included ironwood
(Catpinus caroliniaua), tulip tree (Liriodeudron tulipifera), sweet gum (Liquidambar styraciflua), red
cedar (Juniperus virginiana), and red elm (Uhnus rubra). Dominant vegetation along woodland edges
and roadsides included privet (Ligustrum sinense), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica),
common blackberry (Rubus argutus), narrowleaf lespedeza (Lespedeza angustifolia), dog fennel
(Eupatorimn capillifolium), broomsedge (Audropogon virginicus), goldenrod (Solidago sp.), and
various grasses (Poa spp.) and sedges (Carex spp.).

Bald Eaule (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)
The bald eagle is currently a state and federally-listed threatened (T) species that is proposed for
delisting. This bird nests in mature live pines or cypress trees in the transition zone between mature
forests and large bodies of water. Nests are cone-shaped, 6-8 feet tall and 6 feet or more in diameter,
and usually less than two miles from large bodies of open water. Winter roosts are usually in mature
trees, similar to nesting trees, but may be somewhat farther from water. No potential nests or
individual eagles were observed during the field review.
Carolina heelsplitter (Lasinigona decorata)
The Carolina heelsplitter is listed in North Carolina and Federally as Endangered (E). The Carolina
heelsplitter is found in small to large streams and rivers as well as ponds over a variety of substrates
usually near stable, well-shaded stream banks. Most individuals are found in undercuts and along
shaded banks stabilized with extensive tree roots, a buried log, or rocks.9 On-site perennial streams
exhibited poor to moderately suitable substrate and shade regimes for this species.
Georgia aster 6Vniphyotrichum geornianwn)
Georgia aster is currently listed as a candidate (C) species for federal protection. It is a perennial herb
historically associated with post oak (Quercus stellata) savanna/prairie communities that existed in
the southeast U.S. prior to fire suppression and extirpation of large grazing animals. Today, the
species can be found adjacent to roads, along dry, rocky woodlands, and within utility right-of-ways.
Similar to Schweinitz's sunflower, this species survives in maintained areas that mimic natural
disturbance regimes. Suitable habitat does exist within the project corridor and was surveyed
accordingly.
Smooth coneflower (Echinacea laevigata)
Smooth coneflower is listed in North Carolina and federally as an Endangered (E) species. This plant
is known from open woods, cedar barrens, roadsides, dry limestone bluffs, utility right-of-ways, and
other sunny to partly sunny locations on calcium-or magnesium-rich soils associated with limestone.

This species occurs in xeric hardpan forests and diabase glades, as described by Shafale and Weakley
(1990). The subject property does not include appropriate habitat and no individuals of this species
were observed during the field review.
Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus schiveinitzii)
Schweinitz's sunflower is a perennial herb limited to the Piedmont of North and South Carolina. It is
listed as a federally endangered (E) species. The typical habitat for this plant includes roadsides, old
pastures, transmission line rights-of-way, open areas, and edges of upland woods. Major
characteristics of soils associated with suitable Schweinitz's sunflower habitat include thin soils, soils
on upland interstream flats or gentle slopes, those which are clayey in texture (and often with
substantial rock fragments), those which have a high shrink-swell capacity, and those which vary over
the course of the year from very wet to very dry. Suitable habitat for this species is present along
woodland edges and roadsides.
The results of the record search and survey of the area indicate the site contains areas of potential
habitat for Carolina heelsplitter, Schweinitz's sunflower, and Georgia aster. The on-site habitats for
the Carolina heelsplitter were of poor to fair quality, displaying moderate shade conditions, stable
streambanks, and few undercuts. On-Site habitats for Schweinitz's sunflower and Georgia aster were
of fair to good quality, displaying the ideal soil composition, light infiltration, and moisture regime
combination required by this species. A photograph of potential habitat for Schweinitz's sunflower
and Georgia aster is enclosed as Photograph D. Despite the presence of suitable habitat, no evidence
of Carolina heelsplitter and no Schweinitz's sunflower, or Georgia aster were observed within the
project area at the time of the field investigation. The results of this investigation led to the biological
conclusion that no Carolina heelsplitter, Schweinitz's sunflower, or Georgia aster would be impacted
by future projects.
Purpose and Need for the Project
Charlotte Mecklenburg Utilities (CMU) is the department of the City of Charlotte charged with
providing potable water and sanitary sewer services to areas that have been annexed by the City in
accordance with CMU's annexation policy. Under this policy, the service level to be provided
includes basic fire protection and installation of sanitary sewer trunk mains or common force mains
required to extend sewer service to each publicly dedicated street. The neighborhood surrounding the
Caldwell sewer line is contained within an area annexed by the City of Charlotte. The proposed line
is designed to provide the residents in this area with sanitary sewer service.
Avoidance and Minimization
Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent
practicable. Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to
downstream waters. Pipe joints will be required within the footprint of the stream channel since
stream crossing lengths exceed typical pipe material lengths (18-20 feet). Construction activities and
impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters meet the following general conditions of Water Quality
Certification #3374:
• The construction corridor will not be installed parallel to and closer than 10 feet to a stream or
25 feet to waters classified as HQW. The sewer line will cross stream channels at or near-
perpendicular angles (between 75 degrees and 105 degrees).
• Measures will be taken to prevent live or fresh concrete from coming into contact with waters
of the state until concrete has hardened.
January 2, 2006
Ms. Amanda Jones
Page 7 of 8
• Placement of rip rap will be restricted to the stream bottom and banks directly impacted by the
placement of the utility line. Rip rap will only be used below the normal high water level.
The stream cross section will be restored to its original grade and placement of rip rap will not
result in destabilization of stream bed or banks upstream or downstream of the crossing.
• The construction corridor will be limited to 40 feet in width in wetlands and across stream
channels and will be minimized to the maximum extent practicable.
• Permanent, maintained access corridors will be restricted to no more than 10 feet in width.
• Wetland crossings have been reduced to less than 150 feet in length and will not require anti-
seep collars.
Proposed Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters
Unavoidable, temporary impacts to Wetland DD total approximately 0.02 acre. These impacts are a
result of clearing activities. Unavoidable impacts to Wetland GG total approximately 0.03 acre.
Approximately 0.02 acre of these impacts are permanent and 0.01 acre are temporary impacts and are a
result of clearing activities. Unavoidable impacts to Wetland HH total approximately 0.07 acre, 0.05
acre of which are pennanent impacts and 0.02 acre are temporary. These impacts are a result of clearing
activities. Unavoidable impacts to Wetland JJ total approximately 0.03 acre, 0.02 acre of which are
pennanent impacts and 0.01 acre are temporary. These impacts are a result of clearing activities.
Unavoidable, temporary impacts to Wetland LL total approximately 0.01 acre and are a result of clearing
activities. Approximately 70 linear feet of Perennial Stream A will be impacted by the proposed sewer
line. Approximately 20 linear feet of these impacts are the result of rip rap placement and the remaining
50 linear feet are temporary impacts as a result of construction activities. Approximately 70 linear feet
of Perennial Stream B will be impacted. These impacts are the result of 20 linear feet of rip rap
placement and 50 linear feet of temporary impacts from construction activities. Approximately 105
linear feet of Perennial Stream C will be impacted. These impacts are the result of 30 linear feet of rip
rap placement and 75 linear feet of temporary impacts from construction activities (Figure 2, enclosed).
A typical stream crossing design has been enclosed as Figure 3. Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters
are summarized as follows:

Compensatory Mitigation
Construction of this project has limited the amount of pernianent wetland impacts to less than 0.10
acre. Therefore, no mitigation is currently being proposed. Areas cleared for the 40-foot temporary
construction easement will be returned to their original contours and re-vegetated with native,
herbaceous species.
Please do not hesitate to contact us at 704-527-1177 should you have any questions or continents
regarding these findings.

Stream C Rip Rap 30 If UT to Back Creek 2-5' Perennial
Stream C Temporary 75 if UT to Back Creek 2-5' Perennial
* List each impact separately and identify temporary impacts. Impacts include, but are not limited to: culverts and associated rip-rap,
dams (separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding), relocation (include linear feet before and after, and net loss/gain),
stabilization activities (cement wall, rip-rap, crib wall, gabions, etc.), excavation, ditching/straightening, etc. If stream relocation-is
proposed, plans and profiles showing the linear footprint for both the original and relocated streams must be included.
Strewn names can be found on USGS topographic maps. If a stream has no name, list as UT (unnamed tributary) to the nearest
downstream named stream into which it flows. USGS maps arc available through the USGS at 1-800-353-9616, or online at
www.usgs.gov. Several internet sites also allow direct download and printing of USGS maps (e.g., www.topozone.com,
www.mapquest.coin, etc.).
Cumulative impacts (linear distance in feet) to all streams on site:
175 linear feet of temporarv impacts. 70 linear feet of permanent impacts

4. Pond Creation
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands

draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): N/A
Pa,e 4 of 7
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A
Size of watershed draining to pond:
Expected pond surface area: N/A
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent
practicable. Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize
disturbances to downstream waters. Pipe joints will be required within the footprint of the
stream channel since stream crossing lengths exceed typical pipe material lengths (18-20
feet).
VIII. Mitigation
Construction of this project has limited the amount of permanent wetland impacts to less than
0.10 acre. Therefore. no miti<,2ation is currently being imposed. Areas cleared for the 40-
foot temporarv construction easement will be returned to their original contours and re-
ve(zetated with native. herbaceous species.
Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written aygreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): N/A
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A

Dear Mr. Jenkins:
The Natural Heritage Program has no record of rare species, significant natural communities, or
priority natural areas at the site nor within a mile of the project area. (Technically, there is a 19th
Century record of the Federally Endangered Carolina heelsplitter [Lasmigona decorata] from a
creek less than a mile away. However, that population has long been considered as extirpated.)
Although our maps do not show records of such natural heritage elements in the project area, it
does not necessarily mean that they are not present. It may simply mean that the area has not
been surveyed. The use of Natural Heritage Program data should not be substituted for actual
field surveys, particularly if the project area contains suitable habitat for rare species, significant
natural communities, or priority natural areas.
You may wish to check the Natural Heritage Program database website at
<www.ncsparks.net/nlip/search.html> for a listing of rare plants and animals and significant
natural communities in the county and on the topographic quad map. Please do not hesitate to
contact me at 919-715-8697 if you have questions or need further information.
Sincerely,
Harry E. LeGrand, Jr., Zoologist
