Ms. Higgins and Mr. Johnson, Please see attached a revised Pre -Construction Notification for the Larkhaven Site (DWR#19- 0130; SAW -2018-02169). The original PCN was submitted 01/21/19 and approved by the NCDEQ on 2/8/19. The original submittal contained a clerical error whereby the NWP number was cited as #29 only, whereas it should have been cited as #s 14 & 29. The attached package contains an updated cover letter and application form with the NWP #s revised appropriately — all other information in the PCN package has stayed exactly the same with no modifications. As per correspondence with Alan Johnson, the revised documentation and fee is provided here as a procedural followup.

Rindner, PLLC. Subject: SAW -2018-02169; Pre -Construction Notification for NWPs 14 & 29 for the Larkhaven Site, Charlotte, Mecklenburg County. Ms. Higgins and Messrs. Shaeffer, Johnson, and Hamstead, Enclosed is a request for Nationwide Permits # 14 & 29 for the approximate 137.6 -acre site known as the Larkhaven site located southeast of the intersection of Camp Stewart Road and Hwy 485 in Charlotte, Charlotte, NC. The site is a proposed residential development and consists of five streams, seven wetlands and one open water pond. A preliminary jurisdictional determination was submitted on 11/19/18 and field -verified by David Shaeffer on 12/7/18. Please refer to the Jurisdictional Determination section for information on onsite surface waters. As shown on the attached exhibits, the proposed project will include impacts associated with one crossing. The original concept plans included two road crossings however following preliminary Charlotte Office. www.wetlands-epg.com Asheville Office: 10612-D Providence Rd. 1070 Tunnel Rd., Bldg. I PMB 550 Suite 10, PMB 283 Charlotte, NC 28277 Asheville, NC 28805 (704)904-2277 1 len. rindner@wetlands-epg.com Wetlands and Environmental Planning Group Leonard S. Rindner, PLLC. discussions with the USACE, redesign efforts were taken to eliminate one crossing. This road crossing was kept to the minimal width practicable by using large retaining walls. City ordinances require that this crossing be constructed to 100 -yr storm conditions (rather than the typical 25 -yr conditions) because this crossing is the only point of access to the subdivision on the west side of the perennial stream and it is located in relatively close proximity downstream of an existing pond. Consequently, a rip rap apron with associated plunge pool will be installed for the required stabilization downstream of the crossing. A limited amount of fill to be placed in the FEMA —100 year floodplain area is being permitted through Mecklenburg County. Permits will be obtained prior to construction. An additional 20 if (0.06 ac) of intermittent stream will be impacted for lot grading. This feature is in a disturbed area above a stormwater culvert that was previously installed under NWP # 26. Overall impacts to site surface waters associated with the proposed development were limited through site selection location, design, location/orientation of the proposed lots, associated parking areas and access routes. Total permanent impacts proposed are to 1521f of perennial stream (Stream A) and 201f of intermittent stream (Stream DS). Of these 52 if of impact will be for stabilizing rip rap installed at existing elevations and will not contribute to a Loss -of -Waters of the U.S. No impacts to wetlands onsite will occur as a result of this project. Efforts of impact minimization were implemented during the design to preserve the existing channel hydrology and limit adverse effects to existing, onsite natural habitat. Of the three required utility crossings, two will be installed using directional boring to avoid impacts. The third utility crossing is proposed as a direct open -cut within the limits of disturbance of the stream crossing in order to avoid additional impacts elsewhere. Retaining walls are used in numerous locations across the project to maintain stream buffer integrity. The applicant has demonstrated substantial avoidance and minimization efforts in which 98% of the 4,974 linear feet of stream channel onsite and all of 0.51 acres of wetlands onsite will be avoided. Due to the minimal stream impacts anticipated as a result of this project, no mitigation is proposed. Also enclosed is a copy of our Threatened/Endangered Species Evaluation for the site. No listed species were identified within the project area and we believe that there will be no effect on listed species or their critical habitat as designated under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act. Please refer to the Threatened and Endangered Species Evaluation Section for additional details on the terrestrial species evaluation.

Avoidance and Minimization 1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project. Due to the location of the on site streams and wetlands, opportunities to avoid these areas were limited. Impacts to site surface waters associated with the proposed development were limited through site selection location, design, location/orientation of the proposed lots, associated parking areas and access routes. The original concept plan proposed two stream crossings but this was reduced to a single crossing following preliminary discussions with USACE. Large headwalls are used to minimize the crossing width. Directional boring will be used for two utility crossings to minimize impacts. 1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques. Construction techniques will implement approved erosion control methods to avoid/minimize impacts to onsite/adjacent offsite receiving conveyances. Numerous retaining walls will be used throughout the site to maintain stream buffer integrity. One utility crossing is proposed in an area that will already be disturbed for the road crossing in order to avoid the need for additional impacts elsewhere. The other required utility crossings will use direction boring. 2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State 2a.
