DATE: February 15, 2006
SUBJECT: Charlotte Stormwater Services (CSS), Streambank stabilization, Unnamed Tributary McAlpine
Creek, DWQ No. 20060193, Mecklenburg County
CSS is requesting 401 Water Quality Certification from the North Carolina Division of Water Quality. The North
Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (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 appears to be hard stabilization to protect private property on a tributary of McAlpine Creek in a
residential community. Project proponents propose to stabilize upstream and downstream of a foot bridge and to
reshape banks in order to prevent further erosion. A large volume of stormwater is indicated to be the cause of the
eroding banks.
Based on our office review of the project, we will not object to the stabilization; however, we recommend restoring
lost iloodplains within the watershed to the extent practicable before using hard stabilization methodologies as hard
stabilization often creates other issues and causes erosion in other areas. Stormwater retrofits-should be evaluated
for upstream areas. Low Impact Development (LID) techniques are encouraged Information on LID practices and
measures can be found at wivN .1otiyimhacldevc1 pment.or?. Disturbed banks should be revegetated ivith silky
dogwood ((onnts anionum), silky willow (Salix sericea), tag alder (-lbuls serrulata), black willow (,Bahia: 11igra).
and sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) to provide long term bank stability and stream shading. Note that silky
dogwood, silky willow and black willow can be planted as live stakes collected during the dormant growing season.
Cuttings should be randomly planted on four (4) foot centers from the waters edge to the top of the bank. Trees
should be planted on ten (10) to twelve (12) foot centers. Stream banks in these areas should also be seeded with an
approved native seed mix or temporary crop of wheat or rye.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If you have any questions regarding
these comments, please contact me at 3361769-9453.

Carolina Wetland Services Project No. 2005-1279
The 2722 Chessel Place Maintenance Project is located in Charlotte, North Carolina approximately 112.
mile east of the Colony Road - Morrowick Road intersection (Figure 1, enclosed). The purpose of
this project is to install hard stabilization to prevent further stream bank erosion within a residential
area. Charlotte Storm Water Services (CSWS) has contracted Carolina Wetland Services, Inc. (CWS)
to provide Section 404/401 permitting services for this project.

Decimal Degree Coordinate Location of Project Site: N3517' 21", W80° 48' 7"
USGS Quadrangle Name: Charlotte East and Weddington, NC, 1991 and 1988, respectively
Current Land Use
The current land use for the project area is residential with small adjacent wooded areas. Dominant
vegetation within the project area consists of Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), southern red
oak (Quercus falcata), red cedar (Juniperus virginiana), and red maple (Acer rubrum). According to
the Soil Survey of Mecklenburg County', on-site soils consist of Monacan soils (MO)z. Monacan
soils are somewhat poorly drained and exhibit high water capacity.
Jurisdictional Determination
On January 3, 2005 CWS's Ron Johnson, WPIT, and Matt Jenkins investigated 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
were no jurisdictional wetland areas within the project limits. A Routine On-Site Data Form
representative of non jurisdictional upland areas has been enclosed (DP 1). Jurisdictional waters of the
U.S. were classified according to recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ)4 and
USACE guidance. A NCDWQ Stream Classification Form and USACE Stream Quality Assessment
Worksheet for Stream A are enclosed (SCP1).
The results of the on-site field investigation indicate that there is one jurisdictional stream channel
(Stream A) located within the project area (Figure 1, enclosed). Stream A is an unnamed tributary to
McAlpine Creek and is within the Catawba River basin (HU# 03050103)5. McAlpine Creek is classified
as "Class C" by the NCDWQ.
Stream A flows south along the eastern side of the property boundary until its off-site confluence with
McAlpine Creek (Figure 1, enclosed). Stream A was evaluated to be perennial and exhibited a
continuous bed and bank and substrate consisting of sand to large cobbles. This reach had strong,
persistent flow with an average ordinary high water width of 6-8 feet (SCP1, enclosed). Perennial.
Stream A scored 33 out of a possible 71 points on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form and 46
out of a possible 100 points on the USACE Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet. Photographs of
Stream A are enclosed as Photographs A and B.
Agency Correspondence
Cultural Resources
A letter was forwarded to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on January 3, 2006 to
determine the presence of any areas of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance that
would be affected by the project. As of the date of this submittal, a response from SHPO has not yet
been received. This project is located in a residential area with homes ranging in age from five to ten
years old. The occurrence of any area of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance is
unlikely.
Protected Species
A letter was forwarded to the North Carolina 14atural Heritage Program (NCNHP) on January 3, 2006
to determine the presence of any federally-listed, candidate endangered, threatened species or critical
habitat located within the project area. As of the date of this submittal, a response from the NCNHP
has not yet been received. The project area is dominated by single family homes with maintained
lawns. The occurrence of any federally-listed, candidate endangered, threatened species or critical
habitat is unlikely.
Purpose and Need for the Project
Stream A conveys a large volume of water during high flow events. These events are causing severe
erosional damage to the left bank of Stream A under a foot bridge located on the property
(Photograph B). The purpose of this project is to install hard stabilization upstream and downstream
of the bridge and reshape the banks to prevent further erosion problems.
Avoidance and Minimization
Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent
practicable. The use of hard stabilization on the newly shaped banks is necessary to immediately
stabilize the banks and provide protection from the sheer stress of high flow events. Proper sediment
and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to downstream waters.

Proposed Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters
Unavoidable impacts to Perennial Stream A total approximately 20 linear feet. These impacts are the
result of 20 linear feet of rip rap placement and bank reshaping activities along the left bank
(Figure 2, enclosed). Rip rap will be placed in the channel edge to the bottom of the footing and the
bank will be sloped to a 1.5:1 slope. A tree located on the right bank will also be removed and the bank
will be sloped back to match the existing slope in order to redirect water away from the left bank.
On behalf of CSWS, CWS is submitting a Pre-Construction Notification Application with attachments
in accordance with Nationwide Permit General Condition No. 13, and pursuant to Nationwide Permit
No. 13 and Water Quality Certification No. 3495 (enclosed).
Compensatory Mitigation
Construction of this project will limit the amount of hard stabilization to 20 linear feet, therefore no
mitigation is currently being proposed. These activities will result in an overall benefit to the water
quality of downstream waters by reducing bank erosion and sedimentation.
Please do not hesitate to contact Jarrod Karl at 704-432-0966 or ikarl( ci.charlotte.ne.us should you
have any questions or comments regarding these findings.

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Impacts to on-site iurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent
practicable. The use of hard stabilization on the newly shaped banks is necessary to
immediately stabilize the banks and provide protection from the sheer stress of high flow
events. Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances
to downstream waters.
VIII. Mitigation
Construction of this project will limit the amount of hard stabilization to 20 linear feet,
therefore no mitigation is currently being proposed. These activities will result in an overall
benefit to the water quality of downstream waters by reducing bank erosion and
sedimentation.
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 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
Page 4 of 7
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.ne.us/wrp/index.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide

Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, strewn 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 reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score
of 100 representing a stream of the highest quality.

2722 Chessel Place Maintenance Project
Charlotte, North Carolina
Carolina Wetland Services Project No. 2005-1279
The 2722 Chessel Place Maintenance Project is located in Charlotte, North Carolina approximately 1/2
mile east of the Colony Road - Morrowick Road intersection (Figure 1, enclosed). The purpose of
this project is to install hard stabilization to prevent further stream bank erosion within a residential
area. Charlotte Storm Water Services (CSWS) has contracted Carolina Wetland Services, Inc. (CWS)
to provide Section 404/401 permitting services for this project.

Current Land Use
The current land use for the project area is residential with small adjacent wooded areas. Dominant
vegetation within the project area consists of Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), southern red
oak (Quercus falcata), red cedar (Juniperus virginiana), and red maple (Acer rubrum). According to
the Soil Survey of Mecklenburg County', on-site soils consist of Monacan soils (MO)2. Monacan
soils are somewhat poorly drained and exhibit high water capacity.

Method. This method is defined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual 3 There
were no jurisdictional wetland areas within the project limits. A Routine On-Site Data Form
representative of non jurisdictional upland areas has been enclosed (DP 1). Jurisdictional waters of the
U.S. were classified according to recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ)' and
USACE guidance. A NCDWQ Stream Classification Form and USACE Stream Quality Assessment
Worksheet for Stream A are enclosed (SCP1).
The results of the on-site field investigation indicate that there is one jurisdictional stream channel
(Stream A) located within the project area (Figure 1, enclosed). Stream A is an unnamed tributary to
McAlpine Creek and is within the Catawba River basin (HU# 03050103)5. McAlpine Creek is classified
as "Class C" by the NCDWQ.
Stream A flows south along the eastern side of the property boundary until its off-site confluence with
McAlpine Creek (Figure 1, enclosed). Stream A was evaluated to be perennial and exhibited a
continuous bed and bank and substrate consisting of sand to large cobbles. This reach had strong,
persistent flow with an average ordinary high water width of 6-8 feet (SCP 1, enclosed). Perennial.
Stream A scored 33 out of a possible 71 points on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form and 46
out of a possible 100 points on the USACE Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet. Photographs of
Stream A are enclosed as Photographs A and B.
Agency Correspondence
Cultural Resources
A letter was forwarded to the State Historic Preservation Office (SETO) on January 3, 2006 to
determine the presence of any areas of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance that
would be affected by the project. As of the date of this submittal, a response from SHPO has not yet
been received. This project is located in a residential area with homes ranging in age from five to ten
years old. The occurrence of any area of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance is
unlikely.
Protected Species
A letter was forwarded to the North Carolina 14atural Heritage Program (NCNHP) on January 3, 2006
to determine the presence of any federally-listed, candidate endangered, threatened species or critical
habitat located within the project area. As of the date of this submittal, a response from the NCNHP
has not yet been received. The project area is dominated by single family homes with maintained
lawns. The occurrence of any federally-listed, candidate endangered, threatened species or critical
habitat is unlikely.
Purpose and Need for the Project
Stream A conveys a large volume of water during high flow events. These events are causing severe
erosional damage to the left bank of Stream A under a foot bridge located on the property
(Photograph B). The purpose of this project is to install hard stabilization upstream and downstream
of the bridge and reshape the banks to prevent further erosion problems.
Avoidance and Minimization
Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent
practicable. The use of hard stabilization on the newly shaped banks is necessary to immediately
stabilize the banks and provide protection from the sheer stress of high flow events. Proper sediment
and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to downstream waters.

Proposed Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters
Unavoidable impacts to Perennial Stream A total approximately 20 linear feet. These impacts are the
result of 20 linear feet of rip rap placement and bank reshaping activities along the left bank
(Figure 2, enclosed). Rip rap will be placed in the channel edge to the bottom of the footing and the
bank will be sloped to a 1.5:1 slope. A tree located on the right bank will also be removed and the bank
will be sloped back to match the existing slope in order to redirect water away from the left bank.
On behalf of CSWS, CWS is submitting a Pre-Construction Notification Application with attachments
in accordance with Nationwide Permit General Condition No. 13, and pursuant to Nationwide Permit
No. 13 and Water Quality Certification No. 3495 (enclosed).
Compensatory Mitigation
Construction of this project will limit the amount of hard stabilization to 20 linear feet, therefore no
mitigation is currently being proposed. These activities will result in an overall benefit to the water
quality of downstream waters by reducing bank erosion and sedimentation.
Please do not hesitate to contact Jarrod Karl at 704-432-0966 or ikarl-ci.charlotte.nc.us should you
have any questions or comments regarding these findings.

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 reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score
of 100 representing a stream of the highest quality.
