Dear Mr. Gingerich,
The Westinghouse Site (Mecklenburg County Tax Parcel No. 20308109) is approximately 11.6
acres in extent and is located along Westinghouse Blvd north of the Westinghouse Boulevard
and South Commerce Blvd intersection in Charlotte, North Carolina (Figure 1). Civil &
Environmental Consultants, Inc. has contracted Carolina Wetland Services, Inc. (CWS) to
delineate the extent of jurisdictional features within the project area.
Street Address of Project: Along Westinghouse Blvd northeast of the Westinghouse Blvd and
South Commerce Blvd intersection in Charlotte, North Carolina
Waterway: UT to Sugar Creek
Basin: Catawba River (HUC' 03050103)
City: Charlotte
County: Mecklenburg
Tax Parcel No(s): Mecklenburg County Tax Parcel No. 20308109
Decimal Degree Coordinate Location of Project Site: 35.126865°, -80.9342990
USGS Quadrangle Name: Charlotte West, NC (2017)
Current Land Use
The project area consists of an undeveloped forested parcel with a power line right-of-way.
On-site elevations range from 640-620 feet above mean sea level (Figure 2). Land cover within
the project area consists of mixed forest and shrub/scrub (Figure 3)2.
According to the United States Department of Agriculture - Natural Resources Conservation
Service (USDA-NRCS) Web Soil Survey of Mecklenburg County3 (Figure 4) and the NRCS
Historic Soil Survey for Mecklenburg County' (Figure 5), current and historic on-site soils consist
of two different soil types including Iredell-Urban land complex, 0 to 8 percent slopes (IuB) and

Urban land (Ur). Of the on-site soils, none are listed on the Web Soil Survey as containing
hydric inclusions.
National Wetlands Inventory
Wetlands are an important source of biodiversity and provide a multitude of ecological services.
The National Wetlands Inventory (NWI), created by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, is a
program which provides wetland data and analysis to the public. A review of the NWI GIS layer
depicts no potential wetlands as occurring on-site. (Figure 6).
Jurisdictional Delineation
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
define wetlands as: "Those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a
frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a
prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions."' The USACE
uses three parameters to identify jurisdictional wetlands. These parameters are as follows: 1)
hydrophytic vegetation, 2) wetland hydrology, and 3) hydric soils. Except in certain atypical
situations, all three parameters must be present in order for an area to be determined to be a
jurisdictional wetland.
Jurisdictional areas were delineated (flagged in the field), classified, and mapped with a sub -foot
Trimble Geo7X GPS unit using the (USACE) Routine On -Site Determination Method. This
method is defined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Delineation Manual,6 the 2007 USACE
Jurisdictional Form Instructional Guidebook,' with further technical guidance from the 2012
Eastern Mountains & Piedmont Regional Supplement.' Data representative of on-site
jurisdictional wetland areas and non -jurisdictional upland areas was collected and reported
using Wetland Determination Data Forms (DP; Attachment B).
Stream channels were classified according to the North Carolina Department of Environmental
Quality (NCDEQ) guidance based on biological, hydrological, and physical characteristics.
These classifications include sampling with a D -shaped dip net, collecting photographic
documentation, and defining approximate breakpoints (location at which stream channel
changes classification) within each on-site stream channel. NCDEQ Stream Classification
Forms (SCP) representative of on-site stream channels were used to document stream
conditions (Attachment A). Streams were classified as perennial, intermittent, or ephemeral.
Representative photographs were taken of on-site jurisdictional features and existing site
conditions (Attachment C). Locations of mapped wetlands and other waters, stream
classification points, Wetland Determination Data Forms, and representative photographs are
depicted on Figure 7.

Results
March 23, 2018
CWS Project No. 2018-0094
On March 22, 2018 Carolina Wetland Services, Inc. (CWS) scientists Daniel Roberts, Project
Scientist, and Dan Zurlo, Staff Scientist Il, delineated on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S.,
including wetlands. Based on the results of this field investigation, there are two jurisdictional
waters of the U.S. located within the project boundary totalling approximately 993 linear feet
(0.1107 acres) of jurisdictional stream channel (Figure 7). These waters consist of two
jurisdictional stream channels (Streams A -B).

Jurisdictional Streams
One perennial stream and one intermittent stream were delineated within the project area
(Figure 7).
Stream A originates on-site at the confluence of a non -jurisdictional ditch (SCP1) and a pipe in
the northwestern portion of the project area and flows for 823 linear feet east before entering a
pipe (Photographs 1-3; Figure 7). After exiting the pipe, Stream A flows southeast for 160 linear
feet before entering a pipe and flowing off-site (Photograph 4-5; Figure 7). Total on-site flow for
Stream A is 983 linear feet before flowing off-site through a culvert. Stream A scored a 39 out of
a possible 63 points on the NCDEQ Stream Classification Form (SCP2) and was classified as
perennial.
Stream B originates from a groundwater seep in the southern central portion of the project
limits and flows northeast for 10 linear feet before coming to a confluence with Stream A
(Photograph 6; Figure 7). Stream B scored a 23 out of a possible 63 points on the NCDEQ
Stream Classification Form (SCP3) and was classified as intermittent.
Recommendations
CWS recommends submitting the results of this delineation to the USACE for verification.
Wetlands and/or other waters are present on the site, which are regulated by the USACE and/or
NCDWR. The jurisdictional delineation provided by CWS represents our best professional
judgment regarding the boundaries of on-site wetlands, streams, and other water features that
can be used for preliminary project planning. However, until a Jurisdictional Determination (JD)
is issued by a regulatory agency (USACE), the delineation can only be considered preliminary
