Dear Ms. Karoly:
Charlotte Storm Water Services
600 E. Fourth St., 1411 Floor
Charlotte, NC 28202-2844
The City of Charlotte Storm Water Services (CSWS) is hereby contacting the NCDWQ
401/Wetlands Unit regarding jurisdictional impacts associated with the 3920 Windwood
Circle Maintenance Project. On May 11, 2006, NCDWQ approved this project under
Water Quality General Certification Number 3495 (DWQ# 06-0548). On May 9, 2006,
CSWS submitted a Modification to Proposed Impacts Letter which indicated that the
proposed channel bottom would be maintained at its existing 3-foot width instead of
being widened to '6 feet. Authorized impacts to the on-site Unimportant Intermittent
channel consisted of. 516 linear feet (1,032 bank feet) of channel reshaping, placement
of temporary erosion control matting (150-BioNet) along 516 linear feet of reshaped
channel bottom and 466 linear feet (932 bank feet) of reshaped stream banks, and
placement of permanent erosion control matting (350-BioNet) along the remaining 50
linear feet (100 bank feet) of reshaped stream banks. On November 9, 2006, CSWS's
Isaac Hinson inspected the project for Nationwide Pennit/Water Quality Certification
compliance. This inspection revealed that an extra 50 linear feet (50 bank feet) of
permanent erosion control matting had been placed along the reshaped banks and that
100 linear feet of unauthorized permanent erosion control matting had been placed within
the reshaped channel bed. After consulting with the project manager, the 100 linear feet
of permanent erosion control matting was removed from the channel bottom, however,
the additional 50 linear feet of permanent erosion control matting along the banks was
determined to be necessary to stabilize the banks since this section of channel contains a
significant bend and is susceptible to higher slicer stresses. On December 19, 2006,
CSWS's Isaac Hinson re-inspected the site and confirmed that the 100 linear feet of
permanent erosion control matting had been removed from the channel bottom.
Therefore, actual project impacts consisted of. 516 linear feet (1,032 bank feet) of
channel reshaping, placement of temporary erosion control matting (150-BioNet) along
416 linear feet of reshaped channel bottom and 416 linear feet (832 bank feet) of
reshaped stream banks, and placement of permanent erosion control matting (350-
BioNet) along 100 linear feet (200 bank feet) of reshaped stream batiks. Authorized and
actual project impacts are summarized in the following table:

Modification to Proposed Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters
Unavoidable impacts to Unimportant Intermittent Stream A total approximately 516 linear feet. These
impacts are the result of 516 linear feet of bank reshaping activities along both banks of Unimportant
Intermittent Stream A (Figure 1, enclosed). The chamnel profile will remain at the existing grade
(Figure 3, enclosed). The original proposed cross section (Figure 2, enclosed) has been modified. The
channel bottom width has been reduced from 6.0 feet to 3.0 feet as requested by Mr. Alan Johnson of the
NC Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ). Please note that the average ordinary high water width is 2-3
feet. The revised typical cross section has been included as Figure 3. Temporary erosion control matting
(ECM) (150-BioNet) will be installed on the bed and newly shaped banks between Station Nos. 0 to 100,
and 150 to 516. Between Station Nos. 100 to 150, the bed will be lined with temporary 150-BioNet
ECM and the banks will be lined with permanent 350-BioNet ECM. This station is located at a
significant bend in the channel and requires additional stabilization.

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 (Louicera japonica), willow oak
(Quercus phellos), common blackberry (Rubus argutus), southern red oak (Quercus falcata), red elm
(Uhnus rubra), saw greenbrier (Smilax bona-nox), meadow garlic (Alliun: canadense), and various
grasses (Festuca spp.). According to the Soil Survey of Mecklenburg Countyl, on-site soils consist of
Wilkes Loam (Wkd). Wilkes soils are well-drained and exhibit moderately slow penneability.
Jurisdictional Determination
On December 30, 2005 CWS's Ron Johnson, WPIT, 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? There were no

jurisdictional wetland areas within the project limits. A Routine On-Site Data Form representative of
non jurisdictional upland areas is enclosed (DPl). Jurisdictional waters of the U.S. were classified
according to recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ)3 and USACE guidance. A
NCDWQ Stream Classification Form and USACE Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet for Stream A
are enclosed (SCPI).
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
McMullen Creek and is within the Catawba River basin (HU# 03050103)4. McMullen Creek is
classified as "Class C" by the NCDWQ.
Stream A flows west along the back portion of the property boundary until its off-site confluence wit
McMullen Creek (Figure 1, enclosed). Stream A was evaluated to be unimportant intermittent and
exhibited a continuous bed and bank and substrate consisting of silt to large pebbles. This reach had
weak, persistent flow with an average ordinary high water width of 2-3 feet (SCP1, enclosed).
Unimportant Intermittent Stream A scored 19.25 out of a possible 71 points on the NCDWQ Stream
Classification Form and 31 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 11, 2006 to
determine the presence of any areas of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance that
would be affected by the project. In the enclosed letter dated February 7, 2006, the SHPO state that
they "are aware of no historic resources that would be affected by the project and therefore have no
comment on the proposed project".
Protected Species
A letter was forwarded to the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) on January 11,
2006 to determine the presence of any federally-listed, candidate endangered, threatened species or
critical habitat located within the project area. In the enclosed letter dated January 23, 2006, 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".
Purpose and Need for the Project
Stream A conveys a large volume of water during high flow events. These events are causing
flooding at residences along Windwood Circle. These events are also causing erosional issues
resulting in residential property loss. The purpose of this project is to reshape the stream banks to
allow the channel to convey higher flow events to prevent further property loss and flooding.
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 has been eliminated from this maintenance project. Original
design included the use of 50 linear feet of rip rap between station nos. 100 to 150. The design has
been modified to use permanent erosion control matting as a substitute at this location. Proper
sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize disturbances to downstream waters.

Proposed Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters
Unavoidable impacts to Unimportant Internittent Stream A total approximately 516 linear feet. These
impacts are the result of 516 linear feet of bank reshaping activities along both banks of Unimportant
Intermittent Stream A (Figure 2, enclosed). The channel profile will remain at the existing grade
(Figure 3, enclosed). A typical cross section has been included (Figure 4, enclosed). Temporary erosion
control matting (ECM) (150-BioNet) will be installed on the bed and newly shaped banks between
stations 0 to 100, and 150 to 516. Between station nos. 100 to 150, the bed will be lined with temporary
150-BioNet ECM and the banks will be lined with permanent 350-BioNet ECM. This station is located
at a significant bend in the channel and requires additional stabilization.
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 has eliminated the use of hard stabilization and will limit the permanent
soft stabilization to 50 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, flooding and sedimentation.

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 has been eliminated from this maintenance project.
Original design included the use of 50 linear feet of rip rap between station nos. 100 to 150.
The design has been modified to use permanent erosion control matting as a substitute at this
location. Proper sediment and erosion control measures will be used to minimize
disturbances to downstream waters.
VIII. Mitigation
Construction of this project has eliminated the use of hard stabilization and will limit the
permanent soft stabilization to 50 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, flooding and sedimentation.
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
Page 4 of 7
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

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.

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. 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.nesparks.net/nhp/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
