RE: The Glens at Blrkdale Commons DWQ # 04-172
401 Certification On-Hold Letter DENR - WATER QUALITY
Huntersville County, North Carolina t?ETWgosk@1rorMVATERBRAHcy
Dear Mrs. Karoly:
The purpose of this letter is to inform you that we would like tv withdraw our
application for The Glens at Birkdale Commons. Mr. Geoffrey Underwood of Ground
Technological Services, Inc. was responsible for getting the vv% d_and del'in'eation
completed. Mr. Lee Dowell of Dowell & Company PC contacted me back in December
about permitting the project because he was unaware that Mr. Underwood had already
submitted the application to NC DWQ and the Corps.
I submitted a Nationwide Permit 39 to Mrs. Amanda Jones of the Corps back. in
December. The project as permitted under a NWP 39 does not require notification to
your office. A copy of the 404 is included for your reference. I spoke with Mr. Alan
Johnson of the Mooresville office this morning and he requested that I address the
issues in the enclosed letter from his office in this correspondence. A copy of the letter
from the Mooresville Regional office is included.
1) Whether the width of the road crossing could be reduced.
Response: Mr. Dowell has reduced the width of the road to the greatest extent
possible. The permitted pipe length is 100'.
2) Whether a different culvert configuration could be used for the crossing that
allows for base flow (only) under "normal' circumstances and the use of an
elevated culvert during storm events.
Response: Enclosed are Culvert Details, Aquatic Life Passage Typical Details,
and Concrete Wingwall Typical Details for your reference. Three pipes will be

used for the crossing. The center pipe will allow for normal flows and the two
outer floodplain pipes will allow for storm event flows.
3) Whether the culverts for the existing driveway (to be abandoned) at the site
could be removed, and the old streambed restored.
Response: There is an existing sewer line that parallels the stream that will need
to be accessed for maintenance purposes across the existing driveway. There
are also two Rain Gardens (#9 and #10) located adjacent to the property line
that will need be accessed for maintenance. There is also a land-locked piece of
property that requires access from this stream crossing.
The following mitigative measures were presented in the NWP 39 application to the
Corps to offset stream and wetland impacts in association with site development. The
stream will have a thirty-foot vegetative buffer on either side with twenty feet
(streamside zone) being completely undisturbed. The remainder of the stream
(approximately 225') and wetland (approximately 0.103 acres) on site will be preserved.
There are ten Rain Gardens that will be constructed to offset storm water impacts.
We would like to request written confirmation back from your office that you are in
receipt of this letter and have accepted our application withdrawal. Please copy me of
this correspondence. Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you have any
questions concerning this information, please call.

GTSI- 0401013
Ms. Jones,
GTSI is pleased to submit this PCN and the included wetlands" Waters of the U.S. delineation report and
accompanying maps regarding the referenced stream crossing via roadway. The project includes the
planned crossing of a 2.0' wide first order USGS intermittent stream with a public roadway for
connectivity purposes. The project is situated of mostly undeveloped land and is not part of an adjacent
larger acreage project, subdivision or parcel under separate ownership.
Based on observations and data obtained during our fieldwork and discussions with regulatory
personnel, the flagged stream and adjacent wetland are jurisdictional "Waters of the U.S.". USGS
topographic mapping depicts the stream as an intermittent stream. Wetland work utilized the standard 3-
parameter wetland delineation method evaluating soils, vegetation and hydrology outlined in the 1987
Corps manual.
Based on the low storage capacity and other low values such as aquatic habitat, the wetland
encompasses low quality waters.
No on-site disturbance has been conducted at this time. We request a Jurisdictional Determination (JD)
and any comments or compensatory requirements regarding the permit as soon as possible to facilitate
development.

VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. The applicant must also
provide justification for these impacts in Section VII below. All proposed impacts, permanent
and temporary, must be listed herein, and must be clearly identifiable on an accompanying site
plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) must be shown on a
delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: * The impact is desiined to not
exceed 0.099 acre, based on the preliminary drawing of structural fill placement associated
with the roadway. 1-Three 100' x 60" (parallel, side by side) culverts will be placed utilizing
minimal excavation of the stream channel. 2- Vegetation will be removed within the
roadway footprint as depicted, with structural fill installed from each end of the roadway,
working towards the center of the drainage. 3- lieadwalls and wing walls will be installed at
each end of the culvert(s).
2. Individually list wetland impacts below:

* List each impact separately and identify temporary impacts. Impacts include, but are not limited to: mechanized clearing, grading, fill,
excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams, separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding.
** 100-Year floodplains are identified through the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Maps
(FIRM), or FEMA-approved local floodplain maps. Maps arc available through the FEMA Map Service Center at 1-800-358-9616, or
online at http://NvNvw.femi.:_ov.
*** List a wctland type that best describes wetland to be impacted (e.g., freshwater/saltwater marsh, forested wctland, beaver pond,
Carolina Bay, bog etc.) Indicate if wctland is isolated (dctcrnunation of isolation to be made by USACE only).
List the total acreage of all existing wetlands on the property: 0.202 acres total
based on survey map by Dowell and Company, PC
Total area of wetland impact proposed: 0.099 ACRES- wetland is not isolated- a stream
bisects a portion of the wetland, and the wet area is associated with minor flooding of the low
elevation area adjacent to the stream.

* List each impact separately and identify temporary impacts. Impacts include, but are not limited to: cul crts 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.), cxcavation, ditching/straightcning, etc. If stream relocation is
proposed, plans and profiles showing the linear footprint for both the original and relocated streams must be included.
** Stream 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 1-800-358-9616, or online at
www.us s. 'ov. Several intcmct sites also allow direct download and printing of USGS maps (e.g., %vww.topozono,com,
www.mapquest.com, etc.).

above
* List each impact separately and identify temporary impacts. Impacts include, but arc not limited to: fill, excavation, dredging,
flooding, drainage, bulkheads, etc.
5. 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
Page 9 of 17
I0
*Rain garden ponds will be required by Mecklenburg County, however the erosion control
features will not be constructed within the Waters of the U.S. i.e. associated wetlands or
intermittent stream.
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): excavated erosion control Pond systems (rain Vardens)
as indicated on attached map in accordance with DENR and Mecklenburg, County
regulations. The plan calls for an erosion control system ultimately directing surface flow
from impervious areas towards the wetland and intermittent stream areas following treatment
in a series of ten (10 rain gardens.
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): local stormwater requirement- curb and gutter from 10+
acre multifamily residential development sloning_towards drainage from both sides.
Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A. Expected pond surface area: N/A
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
The Mecklenburg County Planning Department encourages connection of residential roadways
from subdivision to subdivision eliminating dead end streets and facilitating the need for stream
crossings. The road crossing is needed for connectivity reasons.
Structural fill will be tracked in from each end of the bridge, working towards the stream
centerline, effectively minimizing equipment traffic within the wetland.
Three culverts placed within the stream channel will facilitate higher flow and may help to
support minor overbank flooding associated with adjacent wetland hydrology. A headwall will
be constructed adjacent to the culverts for minimizing erosion impacts from high-energy
precipitation events.
Storm water will be directed away from direct contact with surface waters utilizing a series of
rain garden ponds to avoid impacting the wetlands. Silt fencing will be erected in accordance
with local and state storm water regulations. Earthwork should not be conducted during high
flow events.

0 Vlll. Mitigation NOT APPLICABLE
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
littp://li2o.eilr.state.ilc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.litml.

XIV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).
According to Dr. Jim Mathews, Ph.D. of Habitat Assessment and Restoration Program, Inc.
(H.A.R.P.) a check of the NC Heritage Program Database for the area of the project showed the
following species of concern:
Etheostoma collies (Carolina darter)- fish
Villosa vaughaniana (Carolina Creekshell)- mussel
Aster georgianus (Georgia aster)
Helianthus schweinitzii (Schweinitz's sunflower)
Lotus helleri (Carolina Birdfoot trefoil)
Theropsis mollis (Appalachian golden-banner)
None oFthe listed plant species were noted on the property, and the habitat was too wet for
several plant species. Dr. Matthews indicated the tributary is too small for fish and
successful mussel populations. A copy of his report has been included for reference.

RE: The Glens at Birkdale Commons: stream-crossing area
"Waters of the U.S." Report (Wetland Delineation)
Huntersville, NC
GTSI-0401013
INTRODUCTION
Ground Technological Services, Inc. (GTSI) has conducted a wetland delineation along an adjacent
stream in conjunction with associated permitting procedures to access the property with a
roadway/bridge crossing. The property is located between the Birkdale subdivision to the north and
Babe Stillwell Farm Road to the south (Figure 1).
The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) has jurisdiction over "Waters of the U. S." including
0 wetlands, streams and ponds. In order to qualify as a wetland, the area must include hydrophytic
vegetation, evidence of wetland hydrology and hydric soils. The NC Division of Environment and
Natural Resources (DENR) also has jurisdiction over the "Waters" with regard to impact limits.
Permitting procedures are required for stream crossings or disturbances beyond 1/10 acre resulting in
placement or deposition of fill within these Waters (combined USACE/DENR permit).
A small- scale Mecklenburg County GIS map (Figure 2- Geographic Information System) map
indicates the property consists of two parcels. The proposed subdivision has not been subdivided
from the existing Birkdale property to the north under separate ownership and legal descriptions.
The site, depicted on the USGS Lake Norman South topographic map indicates the property slopes
into a tributary of McDowell Creek (Figure 3). The feature is mapped as an intermittent stream near
the headwater area to the west. The project includes a proposed tributary roadway crossing.

l

October 14, 2004

According to GIS resources, the property is not within a 100-year floodplain, and the stream in
question is subject to a Mecklenburg County 35' S.W.I.M. stream buffer. The site is mapped within
the "Mountain Island Lake Watershed Protected Area 2" (PA2), however we understand the
watershed stream buffers do not apply to intermittent streams delineated as non-solid blue lines on
USGS mapping (dashed/dotted lines). The non-perrenial stream buffer status (lack of) was verified
by a conversation with John McCulloch of the Mecklenburg County Water Quality office.
On June 10-11, GTSI utilized the standard 3-parameter wetland delineation method evaluating soils,
vegetation and hydrology outlined in the 1987 Corps manual. In general, the fieldwork followed a
period of limited periodic precipitation. Field mapping utilized survey maps provided by Dowell &
Company entitled "Drainage Area map" and USGS topographic and GIS aerial photographs.
Two wetland areas were delineated and staked in the field as areas "W" and "X". In accordance with
standard USACE guidelines, the centerline of the stream was flagged and denoted with "S" flagging.
The three (3) features were flagged in the field as Waters of the U.S., including streams and wetlands
as follows:
WATERS OF THE US
AREA TYPE # OF FLAGS COMMENTS
S Stream 1 I First Order stream, narrow 2-3' wide, widens near old
driveway culvert crossing
W Wetland 24 Herbaceous vegetation along stream interspersed with tree
canopy and ephemeral standing water pools
X Wetland 4 "Adjacent" wetland between existing driveway culvert and
nearby western property line - covered in rip rap
The wetlands were surveyed in the field as .202 acres in size (0.199 + .003). Features typical of
wetlands included hydric soils evidenced by gleyed, low chroma colors, plants qualifying as
hydrophytic and inundated areas or near surface saturated soils as noted below.
VEGETATION:
Botanical identification was performed by Dr. Jim Mathcws, Ph.D., of Habitat Assessment and
Restoration Program (HARP). More detailed information of the above mentioned locations have been
provided on the USACE field Data Sheets included in the appendix.
Typical dominant vegetation included an overstory of American elm (Ulmus Americana), Tag alder
(Alnus serrulata), Green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), Red maple (Acer rubrum) and yellow poplar
(Liriodendron tulipifera) with a herbaaceous covering of Jewel-weed (Impatiens capensis), Soft rush
(Juncus effusus) and Joe-Pye-weed (Eupatorium maculatum). Silky dogwood (Comus amomum was
also common.

October 14, 2004

Other typically wetland Obligate or Facultative-wet species present included Aster puniccus (Swamp
aster), Carex crinata (Fringed or Tassel sedge), Cinna arundincea (wood reed), Manna grass
(Glyceria striata), two Scirpus bulrush species, Swamp rose and Cat tail.
A more detailed listing of the species noted at each wetland location is provided in the Data Sheet
appendix. The dominant species observed within the delineated areas satisfied the criteria for
hydroplitic vegetation.
SOILS:
A series of hand auger borings were advanced within non-inundated wetland areas to a depth of 16"
below existing grade. Positive hydric indicators typically associated with reducing, or anaerobic
hydric soil conditions included the following:
1- Saturated soils within the wetland borings at depths ranging from near surface to
a depth of 12" below existing grade.
2- Sulfidic odors within all of the (wetland) borings.
3- Munsell charts were employed in selected borings to determine chroma and gleying
characteristics. Gleyed soils producing a chroma of 1 to 2 in the soil were noted as a
result of a saturated, oxygen poor, reducing environment.
4- A Dipyridal solution was utilized in selected borings as a ferrous iron colorimetric
indicator test for reducing conditions in the soils. Positive tests, indicated by a strong
pink coloration, were encountered typically at depths ranging up toI 1" from the existing
surface.
Adjacent upland soils matched typical dark red Cecil profiles. Non-wetland soils were devoid of
gleying or wetness. Based on the presence of the saturated, low chroma, gleyed soils and other hydric
indicators, the soils within the delineated wet areas met the criteria for hydric soils.
HYDROLOGY:
As mentioned above, all the WOTUS features listed either indicated inundation or near surface
groundwater saturation (<12"). The delineated areas met the wetland hydrology criteria.
The following "off-site" information was gathered concerning the referenced site:
SOIL SURVEY-(NRCS)
The 1976 soil survey mapped the following soils underlying the referenced project as follows:
Cecil soils (CeD2) along the intermittent stream. These soils are generally described as well drained
and occupying side slopes or uplands.
u Pacolet soils (PaE) were mapped a short distance to the south and may be included in the mapping
0 area.

It should be noted the Monacan (Mo) series was mapped off-site within the same drainage 300- 400
feet up-stream, a poorly drained unit (low lying).
HYDRIC SOILS LIST-
The two units mapped by the NRCS are not included on the Hydric Soils list as a hydric soil. Within
the referenced tributary, the Monacan soils to the northwest are listed as a map unit "with inclusions
of hydric soils or have wet spots".
NATIONAL WETLANDS INVENTORY (NWI) MAP-
A 1991 U. S. Fish and Wildlife NWI map of the area was reviewed. The tributary was not depicted or
mapped except for an (off-site) designation of several up-stream ponds in the headwater area to the
northwest. The feature was designated as "PSS 1 Fli", or impounded, semi-permanently flooded
Palustrine System pond with broad-leaf deciduous scrub- shrub vegetation.
FLOOD ZONE MAP-
The GIS system indicated the project the 100-year flood zone did not enter the referenced site.
CONCLUSIONS:
The stream and adjacent wetlands are jurisdictional "Waters of the U. S." with regard to the USACE
and DENR. The wetland is a Headwater Forest, adjacent wetland. The open, grass covered area
within the maintained gas line right-of-way is small, adjacent wet meadow. Hydrologic controls may
include minimal over bank stream flooding as evidenced by minor drift lines surrounding vegetation
and very low leveeing along the stream bank. Other recent features indicative of flooding such as
water stained leaves were not present. The southern edge of the wetland ends abruptly against steep
topography, while the northern edge skirts a sanitary sewer line.
Dowell and Company has surveyed the wetland boundary and stream location with the resulting map
provided with the accompanying Nationwide #39 permit, or Pre Construction Notification (PCN).
According to the survey, the two delineated areas encompass a total of 0.202 acres. This wetland
delineation is submitted along with the PCN paperwork.
GTSI, on behalf of Dowell and Company and the owner, Young Builders, requests a "jurisdictional
determination" (R.J.D. or J.D.) as soon as possible. As indicated in the included permit, the roadway
footprint will impact 0.99 acres of wetland, less than the 0.1-acre threshold for compensatory
mitigation.

A check of the plant communities and species of concern from the NC Heritage Program
Data Base for the area of the project showed the following species of concern:
Etheostoma collis - Carolina darter. The tributary is too small for fish populations.
Villosa vaughaniana - Carolina creekshell. There were no shells present and the creek
is likely too small for successful mussels.
Aster georgianus - Georgia aster. This is a historic record. The habitat is too
wet for this species.
Helianthus schiveinitzii - Schweinitz's sunflower. The habitat is too wet for this species.
Lotus helleri - Carolina birdfoot trefoil. There is disturbance in the general area of the
project, but no specimens of this species were noted.
Thermopsis mollis - Appalachian golden-banner. This is a historic record, but no
specimens of this genus were present.
There are no recommendations regarding species of concern.

RE: 404/401 Preconstruction Notification: Nationwide permit for road/stream crossing
Including adjacent wetland delineation
Proposed project: The Glens at Birkdale Commons
Huntersville, North Carolina
Mecklenburg County 0-11728
GTSI- 0401013
Ms. Jones,
GTSI is pleased to submit this PCN and the included wetlands/Waters of the U.S. delineation report and
accompanying maps regarding the referenced stream crossing via roadway. The project includes the
planned crossing of a 2.0' wide first order USGS intermittent stream with a public roadway for
connectivity purposes. The project is situated of mostly undeveloped land and is not part of an adjacent
larger acreage project, subdivision or parcel under separate ownership.
Based on observations and data obtained during our fieldwork and discussions with regulatory
personnel, the flagged stream and adjacent wetland are jurisdictional "Waters of the U.S.". USGS
topographic mapping depicts the stream as an intermittent stream. Wetland work utilized the standard 3-
parameter wetland delineation method evaluating soils, vegetation and hydrology outlined in the 1987
Corps manual.
Based on the low storage capacity and other low values such as aquatic habitat, the wetland
encompasses low quality waters.
No on-site disturbance has been conducted at this time. We request a Jurisdictional Determination (JD)
and any comments or compensatory requirements regarding the permit as soon as possible to facilitate
development.

VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. The applicant must also
provide justification for these impacts in Section VII below. All proposed impacts, permanent
and temporary, must be listed herein, and must be clearly identifiable on an accompanying site
plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) must be shown on a
delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: * The impact is designed to not
exceed 0.099 acre based on the preliminary drawing of structural fill placement associated
with the roadway. 1-Three 100' x 60" (parallel side by side) culverts will be placed utilizing
minimal excavation of the stream channel. 2- Vegetation will be removed within the
roadway footprint as depicted with structural fill installed from each end of the roadway,
working towards the center of the drainage. 3- headwalls and wing walls will be installed at
each end of the culvert(s).

* List each impact separately and identify temporary impacts. Impacts include, but are not limited to: fill, excavation, dredging,
flooding, drainage, bulkheads, etc.
5. 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
Page 9 of 17

*Rain garden ponds will be required by Mecklenburg County, however the erosion control
features will not be constructed within the Waters of the U.S. i.e. associated wetlands or
® intermittent stream.
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): excavated erosion control pond systems (rain gardens)
as indicated on attached map in accordance with DENR and Mecklenburg County
regulations. The plan calls for an erosion control system ultimately directing surface flow
from impervious areas towards the wetland and intennittent stream areas following treatment
in a series of ten (10 rain gardens.
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): local stormwater requirement- curb and gutter from 10+
acre multifamily residential development sloping towards drainage from both sides.
Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A. Expected pond surface area: N/A
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
The Mecklenburg County Planning Department encourages connection of residential roadways
from subdivision to subdivision, eliminating dead end streets and facilitating the need for stream
crossings. The road crossing is needed for connectivity reasons.
Structural fill will be tracked in from each end of the bridge, working towards the stream
centerline, effectively minimizing equipment traffic within the wetland.
Three culverts placed within the stream channel will facilitate higher flow and may help to
support minor overbank flooding associated with adjacent wetland hydrology. A headwall will
be constructed adjacent to the culverts for minimizing erosion impacts from high-enemy
precipitation events.
Storm water will be directed away from direct contact with surface waters utilizing a series of
rain garden ponds to avoid impacting the wetlands. Silt fencing will be erected in accordance
with local and state storm water regulations. Earthwork should not be conducted during high
flow events.

VIII. Mitigation NOT APPLICABLE
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://li2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strngide.litnil.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at

RE: The Glens at Birkdale Commons: stream-crossing area
"Waters of the U.S." Report (Wetland Delineation)
Huntersville, NC
GTSI-0401013

INTRODUCTION
Ground Technological Services, Inc. (GTSI) has conducted a wetland delineation along an adjacent
stream in conjunction with associated permitting procedures to access the property with a
roadway/bridge crossing. The property is located between the Birkdale subdivision to the north and
Babe Stillwell Farm Road to the south (Figure 1).
The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has jurisdiction over "Waters of the U. S." including
wetlands, streams and ponds. In order to qualify as a wetland, the area must include hydrophytic
vegetation, evidence of wetland hydrology and hydric soils. The NC Division of Environment and
Natural Resources (DENR) also has jurisdiction over the "Waters" with regard to impact limits.
Pennitting procedures are required for stream crossings or disturbances beyond 1 /10 acre resulting in
placement or deposition of fill within these Waters (combined USACE/DENR permit).
A small- scale Mecklenburg County GIS map (Figure 2- Geographic Information System) map
indicates the property consists of two parcels. The proposed subdivision has not been subdivided
from the existing Birkdale property to the north under separate ownership and legal descriptions.
The site, depicted on the USGS Lake Norman South topographic map indicates the property slopes
into a tributary of McDowell Creek (Figure 3). The feature is mapped as an intermittent stream near
the headwater area to the west. The project includes a proposed tributary roadway crossing.

According to GIS resources, the property is not within a 100-year floodplain, and the stream in
question is subject to a Mecklenburg County 35' S.W.I.M. stream buffer. Tile site is mapped within
the "Mountain Island Lake Watershed Protected Area 2" (PA2), however we understand the
watershed stream buffers do not apply to intermittent streams delineated as non-solid blue lines on
USGS mapping (daslied/dotted lines). The non-perrenial stream buffer status (lack of) was verified
by a conversation with John McCulloch of the Mecklenburg County Water Quality office.
On June 10-11, GTSI utilized the standard 3-parameter wetland delineation method evaluating soils,
vegetation and hydrology outlined in the 1987 Corps manual. In general, the fieldwork followed a
period of limited periodic precipitation. Field mapping utilized survey maps provided by Dowell &
Company entitled "Drainage Area map" and USGS topographic and GIS aerial photographs.
Two wetland areas were delineated and staked in the field as areas "W" and "X". In accordance with
standard USACE guidelines, the centerline of the stream was flagged and denoted with "S" flagging.
The three (3) features were flagged in the field as Waters of the U.S., including streams and wetlands
as follows:
WATERS OF THE US
AREA TYPE # OF FLAGS COMMENTS
S Stream 11 First Order stream, narrow 2-3' wide, widens near old
driveway culvert crossing
W Wetland 24 Herbaceous vegetation along stream interspersed with tree
canopy and ephemeral standing water pools
X Wetland 4 "Adjacent" wetland between existing driveway culvert and
nearby western property line - covered in rip rap
The wetlands were surveyed in the field as .202 acres in size (0.199 + .003). Features typical of
wetlands included hydric soils evidenced by gleyed, low chroma colors, plants qualifying as
hydrophytic and inundated areas or near surface saturated soils as noted below.
VEGETATION:
Botanical identification was performed by Dr. Jim Mathews, Ph.D., of Habitat Assessment and
Restoration Program (HARP). More detailed information of the above mentioned locations have been
provided on the USACE field Data Sheets included in the appendix.
Typical dominant vegetation included an overstory of American elm (Ulmus Americana), Tag alder
(Alnus serrulata), Green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), Red maple (Acer rubrum) and yellow poplar
(Liriodendron tulipifera) with a herbaaceous covering of Jewel-weed (Impatiens capensis), Soft rush
(Juncus effusus) and Joe-Pye-weed (Eupatorium maculatum). Silky dogwood (Corpus amomum was
also common.

Other typically wetland Obligate or Facultative-wet species present included Aster puniceus (Swamp
aster), Carex crinata (Fringed or Tassel sedge), Cinna arundincea (wood reed), Manna grass
(Glyceria striata), two Scirpus bulrush species, Swamp rose and Cat tail.
A more detailed listing of the species noted at each wetland location is provided in the Data Sheet
appendix. The dominant species observed within the delineated areas satisfied the criteria for
hydrophtic vegetation.
SOILS:
A series of hand auger borings were advanced within non-inundated wetland areas to a depth of 16"
below existing grade. Positive hydric indicators typically associated with reducing, or anaerobic
hydric soil conditions included the following:
1- Saturated soils within the wetland borings at depths ranging from near surface to
a depth of 12" below existing grade.
2- Sulfidic odors within all of the (wetland) borings.
3- Munsell charts were employed in selected borings to determine chroma and gleying
characteristics. Gleyed soils producing a chroma of l to 2 in the soil were noted as a
result of a saturated, oxygen poor, reducing environment.
4- A Dipyridal solution was utilized in selected borings as a ferrous iron colorimetric
indicator test for reducing conditions in the soils. Positive tests, indicated by a strong
pink coloration, were encountered typically at depths ranging up tol 1 " from the existing
surface.
Adjacent upland soils matched typical dark red Cecil profiles. Non-wetland soils were devoid of
gleying or wetness. Based on the presence of the saturated, low chroma, gleyed soils and other hydric
indicators, the soils within the delineated wet areas met the criteria for hydric soils.
HYDROLOGY:
As mentioned above, all the WOTUS features listed either indicated inundation or near surface
groundwater saturation (<12"). The delineated areas met the wetland hydrology criteria.
The following "off-site" information was gathered concerning the referenced site:
SOIL SURVEY-(NRCS)
The 1976 soil survey mapped the following soils underlying the referenced project as follows:
Cecil soils (CeD2) along the intermittent stream. These soils are generally described as well drained
and occupying side slopes or uplands.
Pacolet soils (PaE) were mapped a short distance to the south and may be included in the mapping
area.

Page 4
It should be noted the Monacan (Mo) series was mapped off-site within the same drainage 300- 400
feet up-stream, a poorly drained unit (low lying).
HYDRIC SOILS LIST-
The two units mapped by the NRCS are not included on the Hydric Soils list as a hydric soil. Within
the referenced tributary, the Monacan soils to the northwest are listed as a map unit "with inclusions
of hydric soils or have wet spots".
NATIONAL WETLANDS INVENTORY (NWI) MAP-
A 1991 U.S. Fish and Wildlife NWI map of the area was reviewed. The tributary was not depicted or
mapped except for an (off-site) designation of several up-stream ponds in the headwater area to the
northwest. The feature was designated as "PSS1Fh", or impounded, semi-permanently flooded
Palustrine System pond with broad-leaf deciduous scrub- shrub vegetation.
FLOOD ZONE MAP-
The GIS system indicated the project the 100-year flood zone did not enter the referenced site.
CONCLUSIONS:
The stream and adjacent wetlands are jurisdictional "Waters of the U. S." with regard to the USACE
and DENR. The wetland is a Headwater Forest, adjacent ? etland. The open, grass covered area
within the maintained gas line right-of-way is small, adjacent wet meadow. Hydrologic controls may
include minimal over bank stream flooding as evidenced by minor drift lines surrounding vegetation
and very low leveeing along the stream bank. Other recent features indicative of flooding such as
water stained leaves were not present. The southern edge of the wetland ends abruptly against steep
topography, while the northern edge skirts a sanitary sewer line.
Dowell and Company has surveyed the wetland boundary and stream location with the resulting map
provided with the accompanying Nationwide #39 permit, or Pre Construction Notification (PCN).
According to the survey, the two delineated areas encompass a total of 0.202 acres. This wetland
® delineation is submitted along with the PCN paperwork.
GTS1, on behalf of Dowell and Company and the owner, Young Builders, requests a "jurisdictional
determination" (R.J.D. or J.D.) as soon as possible. As indicated in the included permit, the roadway
footprint will impact 0.99 acres of wetland, less than the 0.1-acre threshold for compensatory
mitigation.

A check of the plant communities and species of concern from the NC Heritage Program
Data Base for the area of the project showed the following species of concern:
Etheostoma collis - Carolina darter. The tributary is too small for fish populations.
Villosa vaughaniana - Carolina creekshell. There were no shells present and the creek
is likely too small for successful mussels.
Aster georgianits - Georgia aster. This is a historic record. The habitat is too
wet for this species.
Helianthus schtiveinitzii - Schweinitz's sunflower. The habitat is too wet for this species.
Lotus helleri - Carolina birdfoot trefoil. There is disturbance in the general area of the
project, but no specimens of this species were noted.
Thermopsis mollis - Appalachian golden-banner. This is a historic record, but no
¦ specimens of this genus were present.
There are no recommendations regarding species of concern.

GTSI- 0401013
0,11723
Ms. Jones,
GTSI is pleased to submit this PCN and the included wetlands- Waters of the U.S. delineation report and
accompanying maps regarding the referenced stream crossing via roadway. The project includes the
planned crossing of a 2.0' wide first order USGS intermittent stream with a public roadway for
connectivity purposes. The project is situated of mostly undeveloped land and is not part of an adjacent
larger acreage project, subdivision or parcel under separate ownership.
Based on observations and data obtained during our fieldwork and discussions with regulatory
personnel, the flagged stream and adjacent wetland are jurisdictional "Waters of the U.S.". USGS
topographic mapping depicts the stream as an intermittent stream. Wetland work utilized the standard 3-
parameter wetland delineation method evaluating soils, vegetation and hydrology outlined in the 1987
Corps manual.
Based on the low storage capacity and other low values such as aquatic habitat, the wetland
encompasses low quality waters.
No on-site disturbance has been conducted at this time. We request a Jurisdictional Determination (JD)
and any comments or compensatory requirements regarding the permit as soon as possible to facilitate
development.

5. 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
Page 9 of 17

*Rain garden ponds will be required by Mecklenburg County, however the erosion control
features will not be constructed within the Waters of the U.S. i.e. associated wetlands or
intermittent stream.
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dain/cmbankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): excavated erosion control pond systems (rain gardens)
as indicated on attached map in accordance with DENR and Mecklenburg County
regulations. The plan calls for an erosion control system ultimately directing surface flow
from impervious areas towards the wetland and intermittent stream areas following treatment
in a series of ten (10) rain gardens.
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): local stormwater requirement- curb and gutter from 10+
acre multifamily residential development sloping towards drainage from both sides.
Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A. Expected pond surface area: N/A
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
The Mecklenburg County Planning Department encourages connection of residential roadways
from subdivision to subdivision eliminating dead end streets and facilitating the need for stream
crossings. The road crossing is needed for connectivity reasons.
Structural fill will be tracked in from each end of the bridge, working towards the stream
® centerline, effectively minimizing equipment traffic within the wetland.
Three culverts placed within the stream channel will facilitate higher flow and may help to
support minor overbank flooding associated with adjacent wetland hydrology. A headwall will
be constructed adjacent to the culverts for minimizing erosion impacts from high-energy
precipitation events.
Storm water will be directed away from direct contact with surface waters utilizing a series of
rain garden ponds to avoid impacting the wetlands. Silt fencing will be erected in accordance
with local and state storm water regulations. Earthwork should not be conducted during high
flow events.

VIII. Mitigation NOT APPLICABLE
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
® functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://l12o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwctlands/strm gide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linearfeet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.st ite.nc.us/wrp/index.litm. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the
following information:

copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter.
Yes ? No
® X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ)
o It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Neuse), 15A NCAC 213 .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 213 .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify )?
Yes ? No ® If you answered "es", provide the following information:

X1. Stormwater (required by DWQ)
Describe impervious acreage (both existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site.
Discuss stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands
downstream from the property.
Existina impervious acreage is limited to a small sin?de-familv residence currently occupied by a
business. The building impervious area is listed as encompasses 1.52 acres. The structure is
accessed by a narrow gravel driveway/road, with all existing development and access scheduled
for removal.
Design impervious development includes 3.66 acres consisting of 26 multi-family residential
structures with accompanying roadways, parking and sidewalks. Erosion control measures
include a total of ten 0 0) rain gardens, silt fencing and connecting piping and gutters. See above
under Section Vi (5).
XII. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ)
Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of
wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.
Sewage will be disposed into the existing municipal sanitary sewer line traversing the property
parallel to the stream. The sanitary sewer with manholes will traverse the drainage near the
center of the roadwav crossing. The municinal water line will also traverse the drainage across
the roadway crossing right-of-way only.
X111. Violations (required by DWQ)

J
Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules?
Yes ? No
Is this an after-the-fact permit application?
Yes ? No
Page 13 of 17
XIV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).
According to Dr. Jim Mathews Ph.D. of Habitat Assessment and Restoration Program, Inc.
(HARP.) a check of the NC Heritage Program Database for the area of the project showed the
following species of concern:
Etheostoma collies (Carolina darter)- fish
Villosa vauglhaniana (Carolina Creekshell)- mussel
Aster€,eorgianus (Georgia aster)
Helianthus schweinitzii (Schweinitz's sunflower)
Lotus helleri (Carolina Birdfoot trefoil)
Theropsis mollis (Appalachian golden-banner)
None of,the listed plant species were noted on the property, and the habitat was too wet for
several plant species. Dr. Matthews indicated the tributary is too small for fish and
successful mussel populations. A cony of his report has been included for reference.

RE: The Glens at Birkdale Commons: stream-crossing area
"Waters of the U.S." Report (Wetland Delineation)
Huntersville, NC
GTS I-0401013
INTRODUCTION
u
Ground Technological Services, Inc. (GTSI) has conducted a wetland delineation along an adjacent
stream in conjunction with associated permitting procedures to access the property with a
roadway/bridge crossing. The property is located between the Birkdale subdivision to the north and
Babe Stillwell Farm Road to the south (Figure 1).
The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has jurisdiction over "Waters of the U. S." including
wetlands, streams and ponds. In order to qualify as a wetland, the area must include hydrophytic
vegetation, evidence of wetland hydrology and hydric soils. The NC Division of Environment and
Natural Resources (DENR) also has jurisdiction over the "Waters" with regard to impact limits.
Permitting procedures are required for stream crossings or disturbances beyond 1/10 acre resulting in
placement or deposition of fill within these Waters (combined USACE/DENR permit).
A small- scale Mecklenburg County GIS map (Figure 2- Geographic Information System) map
indicates the property consists of two parcels. The proposed subdivision has not been subdivided
from the existing Birkdale property to the north under separate ownership and legal descriptions.
The site, depicted on the USGS Lake Norman South topographic map indicates the property slopes
into a tributary of McDowell Creek (Figure 3). The feature is mapped as an intermittent stream near
the headwater area to the west. The project includes a proposed tributary roadway crossing.

According to GIS resources, the property is not within a 100-year floodplain, and the stream in
question is subject to a Mecklenburg County 35' S.W.I.M. stream buffer. The site is mapped within
the "Mountain Island Lake Watershed Protected Area 2" (PA2), however we understand the
watershed stream buffers do not apply to intermittent streams delineated as non-solid blue lines on
® USGS mapping (dashed/dotted lines). The non-perrenial stream buffer status (lack of) was verified
by a conversation with John McCulloch of the Mecklenburg County Water Quality office.
On June 10-11, GTSI utilized the standard 3-parameter wetland delineation method evaluating soils,
vegetation and hydrology outlined in the 1987 Corps manual. In general, the fieldwork followed a
period of limited periodic precipitation. Field mapping utilized survey maps provided by Dowell &
Company entitled "Drainage Area map" and USGS topographic and GIS aerial photographs.
Two wetland areas were delineated and staked in the field as areas "W" and "X". In accordance with
standard USACE guidelines, the centerline of the stream was flagged and denoted with "S" flagging.
The three (3) features were flagged in the field as Waters of the U.S., including streams and wetlands
as follows:
C
WATERS OF THE US
AREA TYPE 8 OF FLAGS COMMENTS
S Stream 11 First Order stream, narrow 2-3' wide, widens near old
driveway culvert crossing
W Wetland 24 Herbaceous vegetation along stream interspersed with tree
canopy and ephemeral standing water pools
X Wetland 4 "Adjacent" wetland between existing driveway culvert and
nearby western property line - covered in rip rap
The wetlands were surveyed in the field as .202 acres in size (0.199 + .003). Features typical of
wetlands included hydric soils evidenced by gleyed, low chroma colors, plants qualifying as
hydrophytic and inundated areas or near surface saturated soils as noted below.
VEGETATION:
Botanical identification was performed by Dr. Jim Mathews, Ph.D., of Habitat Assessment and
Restoration Program (HARP). More detailed information of the above mentioned locations have been
provided on the USACE field Data Sheets included in the appendix.
Typical dominant vegetation included an overstory of American elm (Ulmus Americana), Tag alder
(Alnus serrulata), Green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), Red maple (Acer rubrum) and yellow poplar
(Liriodendron tulipifera) with a herbaaceous covering of Jewel-weed (Impatiens capensis), Soft rush
(Juncus effusus) and Joe-Pye-weed (Eupatorium maculatum). Silky dogwood (Comus amomum was
also common.

October 14, 2004
Page 3
Other typically wetland Obligate or Facultative-wet species present included Aster puniceus (Swamp
aster), Carex crinata (Fringed or Tassel sedge), Cinna arundincea (wood reed), Manna grass
(Glyceria striata), two Scirpus bulrush species, Swamp rose and Cat tail.
A more detailed listing of the species noted at each wetland location is provided in the Data Sheet
appendix. The dominant species observed within the delineated areas satisfied the criteria for
hydroplttic vegetation.
SOILS:
A series of hand auger borings were advanced within non-inundated wetland areas to a depth of 16"
below existing grade. Positive hydric indicators typically associated with reducing, or anaerobic
hydric soil conditions included the following:
I - Saturated soils within the wetland borings at deptlis ranging from near surface to
a depth of 12" below existing grade.
2- Sulfidic odors within all of the (wetland) borings.
3- Munsell charts were employed in selected borings to determine chroma and gleying
characteristics. Gleyed soils producing a chroma of 1 to 2 in the soil were noted as a
result of a saturated, oxygen poor, reducing environment.
4- A Dipyridal solution was utilized in selected borings as a ferrous iron colorimetric
indicator test for reducing conditions in the soils. Positive tests, indicated by a strong
pink coloration, were encountered typically at depths ranging up tol 1" from the existing
surface.
Adjacent upland soils matched typical dark red Cecil profiles. Non-wetland soils were devoid of
gleying or wetness. Based on the presence of the saturated, low chroma, gleyed soils and other hydric
indicators, the soils within the delineated wet areas met the criteria for hydric soils.
HYDROLOGY:
As mentioned above, all the WOTUS features listed either indicated inundation or near surface
® groundwater saturation (<12"). The delineated areas met the wetland hydrology criteria.
The following "off-site" information was gathered concerning the referenced site:
SOIL SURVEY-(NRCS)
The 1976 soil survey mapped the following soils underlying the referenced project as follows:
Cecil soils (CeD2) along the intermittent stream. These soils are generally described as well drained
and occupying side slopes or uplands.
Pacolet soils (PaE) were mapped a short distance to the south and may be included in the mapping
area.

It should be noted the Monacan (Mo) series was mapped off-site within the same drainage 300- 400
feet up-stream, a poorly drained unit (low lying).
HYDRIC SOILS LIST-
The two units mapped by the NRCS are not included on the Hydric Soils list as a hydric soil. Within
the referenced tributary, the Monacan soils to the northwest are listed as a map unit "with inclusions
of hydric soils or have wet spots".
NATIONAL WETLANDS INVENTORY (NWI) MAP-
A 1991 U.S. Fish and Wildlife NWI map of the area was reviewed. The tributary was not depicted or
mapped except for an (off-site) designation of several up-stream ponds in the headwater area to the
northwest. The feature was designated as "PSS1FIi", or impounded, semi-permanently flooded
Palustrine System pond with broad-leaf deciduous scrub- shrub vegetation.
FLOOD ZONE MAP-
The GIS system indicated the project the 100-year flood zone did not enter the referenced site.
CONCLUSIONS:
The stream and adjacent wetlands are jurisdictional "Waters of the U. S." with regard to tile USACE
and DENR. The wetland is a Headwater Forest, adjacent wetland. The open, grass covered area
within the maintained gas line right-of-way is small, adjacent wet meadow. Hydrologic controls may
include minimal over bank stream flooding as evidenced by in inor drift lines surrounding vegetation
and very low leveeing along the stream bank. Other recent features indicative of flooding such as
water stained leaves were not present. The southern edge of the wetland ends abruptly against steep
topography, while the northern edge skirts a sanitary sewer line.
Dowell and Company has surveyed the wetland boundary and stream location with the resulting map
provided with the accompanying Nationwide #39 permit, or Pre Construction Notification (PCN).
According to the survey, the two delineated areas encompass a total of 0.202 acres. This wetland
delineation is submitted along with the PCN paperwork.
GTSI, on behalf of Dowell and Company and the owner, Young Builders, requests a "jurisdictional
determination" (R.J.D. or J.D.) as soon as possible. As indicated in the included permit, the roadway
footprint will impact 0.99 acres of wetland, less than the 0.1-acre threshold for compensatory
mitigation.

A check of the plant communities and species of concern from the NC Heritage Program
Data Base for the area of the project showed the following species of concern:
Etheostoma collis - Carolina darter. The tributary is too small for fish populations.
Villosa vaughaniana - Carolina creekshell. There were no shells present and the creek
is likely too small for successful mussels.
Aster georgianus - Georgia aster. This is a historic record. The habitat is too
wet for this species.
Helianthus schweinitzii - Schweinitz's sunflower. The habitat is too wet for this species.
Lotus helleri - Carolina birdfoot trefoil. There is disturbance in the general area of the
project, but no specimens of this species were noted.
Thernropsis mollis - Appalachian golden-banner. This is a historic record, but no
specimens of this genus were present.
There are no recommendations regarding species of concern.

RE: 404/401 Preconstruction Notification: Nationwide permit for road/stream crossing
Including adjacent wetland delineation
Proposed project: The Glens at Birkdale Commons
Huntersville, North Carolina C?
Mecklenburg County
GTSI- 0401013
Ms. Jones,
GTSI is pleased to submit this PCN and the included wetlands,"Waters of the U.S. delineation report and
accompanying maps regarding the referenced stream crossing via roadway. The project includes the
planned crossing of a 2.0' wide first order USGS intermittent stream with a public roadway for
connectivity purposes. The project is situated of mostly undeveloped land and is not part of an adjacent
larger acreage project, subdivision or parcel under separate ownership.
Based on observations and data obtained during our fieldwork and discussions with regulatory
personnel, the flagged stream and adjacent wetland are jurisdictional "Waters of the U.S.". USGS
topographic mapping depicts the stream as an intermittent stream. Wetland work utilized the standard 3-
parameter wetland delineation method evaluating soils, vegetation and hydrology outlined in the 1987
Corps manual.
Based on the low storage capacity and other low values such as aquatic habitat, the wetland
encompasses low quality waters.
No on-site disturbance has been conducted at this time. We request a Jurisdictional Determination (JD)
and any comments or compensatory requirements regarding the permit as soon as possible to facilitate
development.

VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. The applicant must also
provide justification for these impacts in Section VII below. All proposed impacts, permanent
and temporary, must be listed herein, and must be clearly identifiable on an accompanying site
plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) must be shown on a
delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: * The impact is designed to not
exceed 0.099 acre based on the preliminary drawing of structural fill placement associated
with the roadway. 1-Three 100' x 60" (parallel side by side) culverts will be placed utilizing
minimal excavation of the stream channel. 2- Vegetation will be removed within the
roadway footprint as depicted with structural fill installed from each end of the roadway,
working towards the center of the drainaize. 3- headwalls and wind walls will be installed at
each end of the culvert(s).

*Rain garden ponds will be required by Mecklenburg County, however the erosion control
features will not be constructed within the Waters of the U.S. i.e. associated wetlands or
intermittent stream.
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): excavated erosion control pond systems (rain gardens)
as indicated on attached map in accordance with DENR and Mecklenburg County
regulations The plan calls for an erosion control system ultimately directing surface flow
from impervious areas towards the wetland and intermittent stream areas following treatment
in a series of ten (10 rain gardens.
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): local stormwater requirement- curb and gutter from 10+
acre multifamily residential development sloping towards drainage from both sides.
Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A. Expected pond surface area: N/A
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
The Mecklenburg County Planning Department encourages connection of residential roadways
from subdivision to subdivision eliminating dead end streets and facilitating the need for stream
crossings. The road crossing is needed for connectivity reasons.
Structural fill will be tracked in from each end of the bridge, working towards the stream
centerline, effectively minimizing equipment traffic within the wetland.
Three culverts placed within the stream channel will facilitate higher flow and may help to
support minor overbank flooding associated with adjacent wetland hydrology. A headwall will
be constructed adiacent to the culverts for minimizing erosion impacts from high-energy
precipitation events.
Storm water will be directed away from direct contact with surface waters utilizing a series of
rain garden ponds to avoid impacting the wetlands. Silt fencing will be erected in accordance
with local and state storm water regulations. Earthwork should not be conducted during high
flow events.

VIII. Mitigation NOT APPLICABLE
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
littp:Hli2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwctlands/strm,ide.litni1.

XIV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).
According to Dr. Jim Mathews Ph.D. of Habitat Assessment and Restoration Program, Inc.
(HARP) a check of the NC Heritage Program Database for the area of the project showed the
following species of concern:
Etheostoma collies (Carolina darter)- fish
Villosa vaughaniana (Carolina Creekshell)- mussel
Aster georgianus (Georgia aster)
Helianthus schweinitzii (Schweinitz's sunflower)
Lotus helleri (Carolina Birdfoot trefoil)
Theropsis mollis (Appalachian golden-banner)
None of the listed plant species were noted on the property, and the habitat was too wet for
several plant species. Dr. Matthews indicated the tributary is too small for fish and
successful mussel populations. A cony of his report has been included for reference.

RE: The Glens at Birkdale Commons: stream-crossing area
"Waters of the U.S." Report (Wetland Delineation)
Huntersville, NC
GTSI-0401013
INTRODUCTION
Ground Technological Services, Inc. (GTSI) has conducted a wetland delineation along an adjacent
stream in conjunction with associated permitting procedures to access the property with a
roadway/bridge crossing. The property is located between the Birkdale subdivision to the north and
Babe Stillwell Farm Road to the south (Figure 1).
The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has jurisdiction over "Waters of the U. S." including
wetlands, streams and ponds. In order to qualify as a wetland, the area must include hydrophytic
vegetation, evidence of wetland hydrology and hydric soils. The NC Division of Environment and
Natural Resources (DENR) also has jurisdiction over the "Waters" with regard to impact limits.
Permitting procedures are required for stream crossings or disturbances beyond 1/10 acre resulting in
placement or deposition of fill within these Waters (combined USACE/DENR permit).
A small- scale Mecklenburg County GIS map (Figure 2- Geographic Information System) map
indicates the property consists of two parcels. The proposed subdivision has not been subdivided
from the existing Birkdale property to the north under separate ownership and legal descriptions.
The site, depicted on the USGS Lake Norman South topographic map indicates the property slopes
into a tributary of McDowell Creek (Figure 3). The feature is mapped as an intermittent stream near
the headwater area to the west. The project includes a proposed tributary roadway crossing.

According to GIS resources, the property is not within a 100-year floodplain, and the stream in
question is subject to a Mecklenburg County 35' S.W.I.M. stream buffer. The site is mapped within
the "Mountain Island Lake Watershed Protected Area 2" (PA2), however we understand the
watershed stream buffers do not apply to intermittent streams delineated as non-solid blue lines on
USGS mapping (dashed/dotted lines). The non-perrenial stream buffer status (lack of) was verified
by a conversation with John McCulloch of the Mecklenburg County Water Quality office.
On June 10-11, GTSI utilized the standard 3-parameter wetland delineation method evaluating soils,
vegetation and hydrology outlined in the 1987 Corps manual. In general, the fieldwork followed a
period of limited periodic precipitation. Field mapping utilized survey maps provided by Dowell &
Company entitled "Drainage Area map" and USGS topographic and GIS aerial photographs.
Two wetland areas were delineated and staked in the field as areas "W" and "X". In accordance with
standard USACE guidelines, the centerline of the stream was flagged and denoted with "S" flagging.
The three (3) features were flagged in the field as Waters of the U.S., including streams and wetlands
as follows:
s
WATERS OF TI lE US
AREA TYPE # OF FLAGS COMMENTS
S Stream l l First Order stream, narrow 2-3' wide, widens near old
driveway culvert crossing
W Wetland 24 Herbaceous vegetation along stream interspersed with tree
canopy and ephemeral standing water pools
x Wetland 4 "Adjacent" wetland between existing driveway culvert and
nearby western property line - covered in rip rap
The wetlands were surveyed in the field as .202 acres in size (0.199 + .003). Features typical of
wetlands included hydric soils evidenced by gleyed, low chroma colors, plants qualifying as
hydrophytic and inundated areas or near surface saturated soils as noted below.
VEGETATION:
Botanical identification was performed by Dr. Jim Mathews, Ph.D., of Habitat Assessment and
Restoration Program (HARP). More detailed information of the above mentioned locations have been
provided on the USACE field Data Sheets included in the appendix.
Typical dominant vegetation included an overstory of American elm (Ulmus Americana), Tag alder
(Alnus serrulata), Green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), Red maple (Acer rubrum) and yellow poplar
(Liriodendron tulipifera) with a herbaaceous covering of Jewel-weed (Impatiens capensis), Soft rush
(Juncus effusus) and Joe-Pye-weed (Eupatorium maculatum). Silky dogwood (Corpus amomum was
also common.

Other typically wetland Obligate or Facultative-wet species present included Aster puniceus (Swamp
aster), Carex crinata (Fringed or Tassel sedge), Cinna arundincea (wood reed), Manna grass
(Glyceria striata), two Scirpus bulrush species, Swamp rose and Cat tail.
A more detailed listing of the species noted at each wetland location is provided in the Data Sheet
appendix. The dominant species observed within the delineated areas satisfied the criteria for
hydrophtic vegetation.
SOILS:
A series of hand auger borings were advanced within non-inundated wetland areas to a depth of 16"
below existing grade. Positive hydric indicators typically associated with reducing, or anaerobic
hydric soil conditions included the following:
1- Saturated soils within the wetland borings at depths ranging from near surface to
a depth of 12" below existing grade.
2- Sulfidic odors within all of the (wetland) borings.
3- Munsell charts were employed in selected borings to determine chroma and gleying
characteristics. Gleyed soils producing a chroma of 1 to 2 in the soil were noted as a
result of a saturated, oxygen poor, reducing environment.
4- A Dipyridal solution was utilized in selected borings as a ferrous iron colorimetric
indicator test for reducing conditions in the soils. Positive tests, indicated by a strong
pink coloration, were encountered typically at depths ranging up to 11 " from the existing
surface.
Adjacent upland soils matched typical dark red Cecil profiles. Non-wetland soils were devoid of
gleying or wetness. Based on the presence of the saturated, low chroma, gleyed soils and other hydric
indicators, the soils within the delineated wet areas met the criteria for hydric soils.
HYDROLOGY:
As mentioned above, all the WOTUS features listed either indicated inundation or near surface
groundwater saturation (<12"). The delineated areas met the wetland hydrology criteria.
The following "off-site" information was gathered concerning the referenced site:
SOIL SURVEY-(NRCS)
The 1976 soil survey mapped the following soils underlying the referenced project as follows:
Cecil soils (CCD2) along the intermittent stream. These soils are generally described as well drained
and occupying side slopes or uplands.
Pacolet soils (PaE) were mapped a short distance to the south and may be included in the mapping
area.

It should be noted the Monacan (Mo) series was mapped off-site within the same drainage 300- 400
feet up-stream, a poorly drained unit (low lying).
HYDRIC SOILS LIST-
The two units mapped by the NRCS are not included on the Hydric Soils list as a hydric soil. Within
the referenced tributary, the Monacan soils to the northwest are listed as a map unit "with inclusions
of hydric soils or have wet spots".
NATIONAL WETLANDS INVENTORY (NWI) MAP-
A 1991 U.S. Fish and Wildlife NWI map of the area was reviewed. The tributary was not depicted or
mapped except for an (off-site) designation of several up-stream ponds in the headwater area to the
northwest. The feature was designated as "PSS1Fli", or impounded, semi-permanently flooded
Palustrine System pond with broad-leaf deciduous scrub- shrub vegetation.
FLOOD ZONE MAP-
The GIS system indicated the project the 100-year flood zone did not enter the referenced site.
CONCLUSIONS:
The stream and adjacent wetlands are jurisdictional "Waters of the U. S." with regard to the USACE
and DENR. The wetland is a Headwater Forest, adjacent .vctland. The open, grass covered area
within the maintained gas line right-of-way is small, adjacent wet meadow. Hydrologic controls may
include minimal over bank stream flooding as evidenced by minor drift lines surrounding vegetation
and very low leveeing along the stream bank. Other recent features indicative of flooding such as
water stained leaves were not present. The southern edge of the wetland ends abruptly against steep
topography, while the northern edge skirts a sanitary sewer line.
Dowell and Company has surveyed the wetland boundary and stream location with the resulting map
provided with the accompanying Nationwide #39 permit, or Pre Construction Notification (PCN).
According to the survey, the two delineated areas encompass a total of 0.202 acres. This wetland
delineation is submitted along with the PCN paperwork.
GTS1, on behalf of Dowell and Company and the owner, Young Builders, requests a "jurisdictional
determination" (R.J.D. or J.D.) as soon as possible. As indicated in the included permit, the roadway
footprint will impact 0.99 acres of wetland, less than the 0.1-acre threshold for compensatory
mitigation.

A check of the plant communities and species of concern from the NC Heritage Program
Data Base for the area of the project showed the following species of concern:
Etheostonia collis - Carolina darter. The tributary is too small for fish populations.
Villosa vaughaniana - Carolina creekshell. There were no shells present and the creek
is likely too small for successful mussels.
Aster georgianus - Georgia aster. This is a historic record. The habitat is too
wet for this species.
Helianthus schtiveinitzii - Schweinitz's sunflower. The habitat is too wet for this species.
Lotars helleri - Carolina birdfoot trefoil. There is disturbance in the general area of the
project, but no specimens of this species were noted.
Thermopsis mollis - Appalachian golden-banner. This is a historic record, but no
specimens of this genus were present.
There are no recommendations regarding species of concern.

Proposed project: The Glens at Birkdale Commons
Huntersville, North Carolina
Mecklenburg County
GTSI- 0401013 0 -1 1 7 2 8
Ms. Jones,
t GTSI is pleased to submit this PCN and the included wetlands; Waters of the U.S. delineation report and
accompanying maps regarding the referenced stream crossing via roadway. The project includes the
planned crossing of a 2.0' wide first order USGS intermittent stream with a public roadway for
connectivity purposes. The project is situated of mostly undeveloped land and is not part of an adjacent
larger acreage project, subdivision or parcel under separate ownership.
Based on observations and data obtained during our fieldwork and discussions with regulatory
personnel, the flagged stream and adjacent wetland are jurisdictional "Waters of the U.S.". USGS
topographic mapping depicts the stream as an intermittent stream. Wetland work utilized the standard 3-
parameter wetland delineation method evaluating soils, vegetation and hydrology outlined in the 1987
Corps manual.
Based on the low storage capacity and other low values such as aquatic habitat, the wetland
encompasses low quality waters.
No on-site disturbance has been conducted at this time. We request a Jurisdictional Determination (JD)
and any comments or compensatory requirements regarding the permit as soon as possible to facilitate
development.

Vl. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. The applicant must also
provide justification for these impacts in Section VII below. All proposed impacts, permanent
and temporary, must be listed herein, and must be clearly identifiable on an accompanying site
plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) must be shown on a
delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: * The impact is designed to not
exceed 0.099 acre based on the preliminary drawing of structural fill placement associated
with the roadway. 1-Three 100' x 60" (parallel side by side) culverts will be placed utilizing
minimal excavation of the stream channel. 2- Vegetation will be removed within the
roadway footprint as depicted with structural fill installed from each end of the roadway,
working towards the center of the drainage. 3- headwalls and wing walls will be installed at
each end of the culvert(s).

® acre multifamily residential development sloping towards drainage from both sides.
Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A. Expected pond surface area: N/A
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
The Mecklenburg County Planning Department encourages connection of residential roadways
from subdivision to subdivision eliminating dead end streets and facilitating the need for stream
crossings. The road crossing is needed for connectivity reasons.
Structural fill will be tracked in from each end of the brid.ge, working towards the stream
centerline, effectively minimizing equipment traffic within the wetland.
Three culverts placed within the stream channel will facilitate higher flow and may help to
support minor overbank flooding associated with adjacent wetland hydrology. A headwall will
be constructed adjacent to the culverts for minimizing erosion impacts from high-energy
precipitation events.
Storm water will be directed awl from direct contact with surface waters utilizing a series of
rain garden ponds to avoid impacting the wetlands Silt fencing will be erected in accordance
with local and state storm water regulations. Earthwork should not be conducted during high
flow events.

VIII. Mitigation NOT APPLICABLE
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
etated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
and/or u
land ve
p
g
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
laced on hold as
lan or NCWRP concurrence shall be

incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
lit!p://li2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.litml.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at 11ttp://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.litm. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the
following information:

IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federaUstate) funds or the use of public
(federal/state) land?
Yes ? No
1 If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No
If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a
copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter.
Yes ? No
X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
1 Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Neuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 213 .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify )?
Yes ? No ® If you answered "yes", provide the following information:
Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer
mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer
multipliers.

XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ)
Describe impervious acreage (both existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site.
Discuss stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands
downstream from the property.
Existing impervious acreage is limited to a small single-family residence currently occupied by a
business. The building impervious area is listed as encompasses 1.52 acres. The structure is
accessed by a narrow gravel driveway/road with all existing development and access scheduled
for removal.
Desimn impervious development includes 3.66 acres consisting of 26 multi-family residential
structures with accompanying roadways parking and sidewalks. Erosion control measures
include a total of ten 00) rain gardens silt fencing and connecting piping and Butters. See above
under Section Vi (5).
XII. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ)

XIV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).
According to Dr. Jim Mathews. Ph.D. of Habitat Assessment and Restoration Program, Inc.
® (H.A.R.P.) a check of the NC Heritage Program Database for the area of the project showed the
following species of concern:
Etheostoma collies (Carolina darter)- fish
Villosa vaughaniana Carolina Creekshell)- mussel
Aster georgianus (Georgia aster)
Helianthus schweinitzii (Schweinitz's sunflower)
Lotus helleri (Carolina Birdfoot trefoil)
Theropsis mollis (Appalachian golden-banner)
None of,the listed plant species were noted on the property, and the habitat was too wet for
1 several plant species. Dr. Matthews indicated the tributarv is too small for fish and
successful mussel populations. A cony of his report has been included for reference.

RE: The Glens at Birkdale Commons: stream-crossing area
"Waters of the U.S." Report (Wetland Delineation)
Huntersville, NC
GTSI-0401013
INTRODUCTION
Ground Technological Services, Inc. (GTSI) has conducted a wetland delineation along an adjacent
stream in conjunction with associated permitting procedures to access the property with a
roadway/bridge crossing. The property is located between the Birkdale subdivision to the north and
Babe Stillwell Farm Road to the south (Figure 1).
The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) has jurisdiction over "Waters of the U. S." including
wetlands, streams and ponds. In order to qualify as a wetland, the area must include hydrophytic
vegetation, evidence of wetland hydrology and hydric soils. The NC Division of Environment and
Natural Resources (DENR) also has jurisdiction over the "Waters" with regard to impact limits.
Permitting procedures are required for stream crossings or disturbances beyond 1/10 acre resulting in
placement or deposition of fill within these Waters (combined USACE/DENR permit).
A small- scale Mecklenburg County GIS map (Figure 2- Geographic Information System) map
indicates the property consists of two parcels. The proposed subdivision has not been subdivided
from the existing Birkdale property to the north under separate ownership and legal descriptions.
The site, depicted on the USGS Lake Norman South topographic map indicates the property slopes
into a tributary of McDowell Creek (Figure 3). The feature is mapped as an intermittent stream near
the headwater area to the west. The project includes a proposed tributary roadway crossing.
u

October 14, 2004
Page 2
According to GIS resources, the property is not within a 100-year floodplain, and the stream in
question is subject to a Mecklenburg County 35' S.W.I.M. stream buffer. The site is mapped within
the "Mountain Island Lake Watershed Protected Area 2" (PA2), however we understand the
watershed stream buffers do not apply to intermittent streams delineated as non-solid blue lines on
USGS mapping (dashed/dotted lines). The non-perrenial stream buffer status (lack of) was verified
by a conversation with John McCulloch of the Mecklenburg County Water Quality office.
On June 10-11, GTSI utilized the standard 3-parameter wetland delineation method evaluating soils,
vegetation and hydrology outlined in the 1987 Corps manual. In general, the fieldwork followed a
period of limited periodic precipitation. Field mapping utilized survey maps provided by Dowell &
Company entitled "Drainage Area map" and USGS topographic and GIS aerial photographs.
Two wetland areas were delineated and staked in the field as areas "W" and "X". In accordance with
standard USACE guidelines, the centerline of the stream was flagged and denoted with "S" flagging.
The three (3) features were flagged in the field as Waters of the U.S., including streams and wetlands
as follows:
WATERS OF THE US
AREA TYPE # OF FLAGS COMMENTS
S Stream 11 First Order stream, narrow 2-3' wide, widens near old
driveway culvert crossing
W Wetland 24 Herbaceous vegetation along stream interspersed with tree
canopy and ephemeral standing water pools
X Wetland 4
and
"Adjacent" wetland between existing driveway culvert
nearby western property line - covered in rip rap
The wetlands were surveyed in the field as .202 acres in size (0.199 + .003). Features typical of
wetlands included hydric soils evidenced by gleyed, low chroma colors, plants qualifying as
hydrophytic and inundated areas or near surface saturated soils as noted below.
VEGETATION:
Botanical identification was performed by Dr. Jim MatlicNvs, Ph.D., of Habitat Assessment and
Restoration Program (HARP). More detailed information of the above mentioned locations have been
provided on the USACE field Data Sheets included in the appendix.
Typical dominant vegetation included an overstory of American elm (Ulmus Americana), Tag alder
(Alnus serrulata), Green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), Red maple (Acer rubrum) and yellow poplar
(Liriodendron tulipifera) with a herbaaceous covering of Jewel-weed (Impatiens capensis), Soft rush
(Juncus effusus) and Joe-Pye-weed (Eupatorium maculatum). Silky dogwood (Comus amomum was
also common.

October 14, 2004

Other typically wetland Obligate or Facultative-wet species present included Aster puniceus (Swamp
aster), Carex crinata (Fringed or Tassel sedge), Cinna arundincea (wood reed), Manna grass
(Glyceria striata), two Scirpus bulrush species, Swamp rose and Cat tail.
A more detailed listing of the species noted at each wetland location is provided in the Data Sheet
appendix. The dominant species observed within the delineated areas satisfied the criteria for
hydrophtic vegetation.
SOILS:
A series of hand auger borings were advanced within non-inundated wetland areas to a depth of 16"
1 below existing grade. Positive hydric indicators typically associated with reducing, or anaerobic
hydric soil conditions included the following:
1- Saturated soils within the wetland borings at depths ranging from near surface to
a depth of 12" below existing grade.
2- Sulfidic odors within all of the (wetland) borings.
3- Munsell charts were employed in selected borings to determine chroma and gleying
characteristics. Gleyed soils producing a chroma of 1 to 2 in the soil were noted as a
result of a saturated, oxygen poor, reducing environment.
4- A Dipyridal solution was utilized in selected borings as a ferrous iron colorimetric
indicator test for reducing conditions in the soils. Positive tests, indicated by a strong
pink coloration, were encountered typically at depths ranging up toI l" from the existing
surface.
Adjacent upland soils matched typical dark red Cecil profiles. Non-wetland soils were devoid of
gleying or wetness. Based on the presence of the saturated, low chroma, gleyed soils and other hydric
indicators, the soils within the delineated wet areas met the criteria for hydric soils.
® HYDROLOGY:
As mentioned above, all the WOTUS features listed either indicated inundation or near surface
groundwater saturation (<12"). The delineated areas met the wetland hydrology criteria.
The following "off-site" information was gathered concerning the referenced site:
1 SOIL SURVEY-(NRCS)
The 1976 soil survey mapped the following soils underlying the referenced project as follows:
Cecil soils (CeD2) along the intermittent stream. These soils are generally described as well drained
and occupying side slopes or uplands.
Pacolet soils (PaE) were mapped a short distance to the south and may be included in the mapping
area.
J
October 14, 2004
Page 4
It should be noted the Monacan (Mo) series was mapped off-site within the same drainage 300- 400
feet up-stream, a poorly drained unit (low lying).
HYDRIC SOILS LIST-
The two units mapped by the NRCS are not included on the Hydric Soils list as a hydric soil. Within
the referenced tributary, the Monacan soils to the northwest are listed as a map unit "with inclusions
of hydric soils or have wet spots".
NATIONAL WETLANDS INVENTORY (NWI) MAP-
A 1991 U.S. Fish and Wildlife NWI map of the area was reviewed. The tributary was not depicted or
mapped except for an (off-site) designation of several up-stream ponds in the headwater area to the
northwest. The feature was designated as "PSS 1 Fli", or impounded, semi-permanently flooded
Palustrine System pond with broad-leaf deciduous scrub- shrub vegetation.
FLOOD ZONE MAP-
The GIS system indicated the project the 100-year flood zone did not enter the referenced site.
CONCLUSIONS:
The stream and adjacent wetlands are jurisdictional "Waters of the U. S." with regard to the USACE
and DENR. The wetland is a Headwater Forest, adjacent wetland. The open, grass covered area
within the maintained gas line right-of-way is small, adjacent wet meadow. Hydrologic controls may
include minimal over bank stream flooding as evidenced by minor drift lines surrounding vegetation
and very low leveeing along the stream bank. Other recent features indicative of flooding such as
water stained leaves were not present. The southern edge of the wetland ends abruptly against steep
topography, while the northern edge skirts a sanitary sewer line.
Dowell and Company has surveyed the wetland boundary and stream location with the resulting map
provided with the accompanying Nationwide #39 permit, or Pre Construction Notification (PCN).
According to the survey, the two delineated areas encompass a total of 0.202 acres. This wetland
delineation is submitted along with the PCN paperwork.
GTSI, on behalf of Dowell and Company and the owner, Young Builders, requests a "jurisdictional
determination" (R.J.D. or J.D.) as soon as possible. As indicated in the included permit, the roadway
footprint will impact 0.99 acres of wetland, less than the 0.1-acre threshold for compensatory
mitigation.

A check of the plant communities and species of concern from the NC Heritage Program
Data Base for the area of the project showed the following species of concern:
Etheostonra collis - Carolina darter. The tributary is too small for fish populations.
Villosa vaughaniana - Carolina creekshell. There were no shells present and the creek
is likely too small for successful mussels.
Aster georgianus - Georgia aster. This is a historic record. The habitat is too
wet for this species.
Helianthus schiveinitzii - Schweinitz's sunflower. The habitat is too wet for this species.
Lotus helleri - Carolina birdfoot trefoil. There is disturbance in the general area of the
project, but no specimens of this species were noted.
Thermopsis mollis - Appalachian golden-banner. This is a historic record, but no
specimens of this genus were present.
There are no recommendations regarding species of concern.

RE: 404/401 Preconstruction Notification: Nationwide permit for road/stream crossing
Including adjacent wetland delineation
Proposed project: The Glens at Birkdale Commons
Huntersville, North Carolina
Mecklenburg County
GTSI- 0401013
Ms. Jones,
GTSI is pleased to submit this PCN and the included wetlands/'Waters of the U.S. delineation report and
accompanying maps regarding the referenced stream crossing via roadway. The project includes the
planned crossing of a 2.0' wide first order USGS intermittent stream with a public roadway for
connectivity purposes. The project is situated of mostly undeveloped land and is not part of an adjacent
larger acreage project, subdivision or parcel under separate ownership.
Based on observations and data obtained during our fieldwork and discussions with regulatory
personnel, the flagged stream and adjacent wetland are jurisdictional "Waters of the U.S.". USGS
topographic mapping depicts the stream as an intermittent stream. Wetland work utilized the standard 3-
parameter wetland delineation method evaluating soils, vegetation and hydrology outlined in the 1987
Corps manual.
Based on the low storage capacity and other low values such as aquatic habitat, the wetland
encompasses low quality waters.
No on-site disturbance has been conducted at this time. We request a Jurisdictional Determination (JD)
and any comments or compensatory requirements regarding the permit as soon as possible to facilitate
development.

*Rain garden ponds will be required by Mecklenburg County, however the erosion control
features will not be constructed within the Waters of the U.S. i.e. associated wetlands or
® intermittent stream.
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): excavated erosion control pond systems (rain gardens)
as indicated on attached ma12 in accordance with DENR and Mecklenburg County
regulations. The plan calls for an erosion control system ultimately directin! surface flow
from impervious areas towards the wetland and intermittent stream areas following treatment
in a series of ten 0 0) rain gardens.
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): local stormwater requirement- curb and gutter from 10+
acre multifamily residential development sloping towards drainage from both sides.
Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A. Expected pond surface area: N/A
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
t were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
The Mecklenburg County Planning Department encourages connection of residential roadways
from subdivision to subdivision, eliminating dead end streets and facilitating the need for stream
crossings. The road crossing is needed for connectivity reasons.
Structural fill will be tracked in from each end of the bridge, working towards the stream
centerline, effectively minimizing equipment traffic within the wetland.
Three culverts Dlaced within the stream channel will facilitate higher flow and may help to
support minor overbank flooding associated with adjacent wetland hydrology. A headwall will
be constructed adjacent to the culverts for minimizing erosion impacts from high-energy
precipitation events.
Storm water will be directed away from direct contact with surface waters utilizing a series of
rain garden ponds to avoid impacting the wetlands. Silt fencing will be erected in accordance
with local and state storm water regulations. Earthwork should not be conducted during high
flow events.

VIII. Mitigation NOT APPLICABLE
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
litip://li2o.cilr.state.ilc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.litm1.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at httl2://li2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of

XIV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).
According to Dr. Jim Mathews Ph.D. of Habitat Assessment and Restoration Program, Inc.
(H.A.R.P.) a check of the NC Heritage Program Database for the area of the project showed the
following species of concern:
e Etheostoma collies (Carolina darter)- fish
Villosa vaughaniana Carolina Creekshell)- mussel
Aster georgianus (Georgia aster)
Helianthus schweinitzii (Schweinitz's sunflower)
Lotus helleri (Carolina Birdfoot trefoil)
® Theropsis mollis (Appalachian golden-banner)
None ofthe listed plant species were noted on the property, and the habitat was too wet for
several plant species. Dr. Matthews indicated the tributary is too small for fish and
successful mussel populations. A cony of his report has been included for reference.

RE: The Glens at Birkdale Commons: stream-crossing area
"Waters of the U.S." Report (Wetland Delineation)
Huntersville, NC
GTSI-0401013
INTRODUCTION
Ground Technological Services, Inc. (GTSI) has conducted a wetland delineation along an adjacent
stream in conjunction with associated permitting procedures to access the property with a
roadway/bridge crossing. The property is located between the Birkdale subdivision to the north and
Babe Stillwell Farm Road to the south (Figure 1).
The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has jurisdiction over "Waters of the U. S." including
wetlands, streams and ponds. In order to qualify as a wetland, the area must include hydrophytic
vegetation, evidence of wetland hydrology and hydric soils. The NC Division of Environment and
Natural Resources (DENR) also has jurisdiction over the "Waters" with regard to impact limits.
Permitting procedures are required for stream crossings or disturbances beyond 1/10 acre resulting in
placement or deposition of fill within these Waters (combined USACE/DENR permit).
A small- scale Mecklenburg County GIS map (Figure 2- Geographic Information System) map
indicates the property consists of two parcels. The proposed subdivision has not been subdivided
from the existing Birkdale property to the north under separate ownership and legal descriptions.
The site, depicted on the USGS Lake Norman South topographic map indicates the property slopes
into a tributary of McDowell Creek (Figure 3). The feature is mapped as an intermittent stream near
the headwater area to the west. The project includes a proposed tributary roadway crossing.

According to GIS resources, the property is not within a 100-year floodplain, and the stream in
question is subject to a Mecklenburg County 35' S.W.I.M. stream buffer. The site is mapped within
the "Mountain Island Lake Watershed Protected Area 2" (PA2), however we understand the
watershed stream buffers do not apply to intermittent streams delineated as non-solid blue lines on
USGS mapping (daslied/dotted lines). The non-perrenial stream buffer status (lack of) was verified
by a conversation with John McCulloch of the Mecklenburg County Water Quality office.
On June 10-11, GTSI utilized the standard 3-parameter wetland delineation method evaluating soils,
vegetation and hydrology outlined in the 1987 Corps manual. In general, the fieldwork followed a
period of limited periodic precipitation. Field mapping utilized survey maps provided by Dowell &
Company entitled "Drainage Area map" and USGS topographic and GIS aerial photographs.
Two wetland areas were delineated and staked in the field as areas "W" and "X". In accordance with
standard USACE guidelines, the centerline of the stream was flagged and denoted with "S" flagging.
The three (3) features were flagged in the field as Waters of the U.S., including streams and wetlands
as follows:
WATERS OF '1 HE US
AREA TYPE 11 OF FLAGS COMMENTS
S Stream 11 First Order stream, narrow 2-3' wide, widens near old
driveway culvert crossing
W Wetland 24 Herbaceous vegetation along stream interspersed with tree
canopy and ephemeral standing water pools
X Wetland 4 "Adjacent" wetland between existing driveway culvert and
nearby western property line - covered in rip rap
The wetlands were surveyed in the field as .202 acres in size (0.199 + .003). Features typical of
wetlands included hydric soils evidenced by gleyed, low chroma colors, plants qualifying as
hydrophytic and inundated areas or near surface saturated soils as noted below.
VEGETATION:
Botanical identification was performed by Dr. Jim Mathews, Ph.D., of Habitat Assessment and
Restoration Program (HARP). More detailed information of the above mentioned locations have been
provided on the USACE field Data Sheets included in the appendix.
Typical dominant vegetation included an overstory of American elm (Ulmus Americana), Tag alder
(Alnus serrulata), Green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), Red maple (Acer rubrum) and yellow poplar
(Liriodendron tulipifera) with a lierbaaccous covering of Jewel-weed (Impatiens capensis), Soft rush
(Juncus effusus) and Joe-Pye-weed (Eupatorium maculatum). Silky dognvood (Corpus amomum was
also common.

Other typically wetland Obligate or Facultative-wet species present included Aster puniceus (Swamp
aster), Carex crinata (Fringed or Tassel sedge), Cinna arundincea (wood reed), Manna grass
(Glyceria striata), two Scirpus bulrush species, Swamp rose and Cat tail.
A more detailed listing of the species noted at each wetland location is provided in the Data Sheet
appendix. The dominant species observed within the delineated areas satisfied the criteria for
hydrophtic vegetation.
SOILS:
A series of hand auger borings were advanced within non-inundated wetland areas to a depth of 16"
below existing grade. Positive hydric indicators typically associated with reducing, or anaerobic
hydric soil conditions included the following:
1- Saturated soils within the wetland borings at depths ranging from near surface to
a depth of 12" below existing grade.
2- Sulfidie odors within all of the (wetland) borings.
3- Munsell charts were employed in selected borings to determine chroma and gleying
characteristics. Gleyed soils producing a chroma of 1 to 2 in the soil were noted as a
result of a saturated, oxygen poor, reducing environment.
4- A Dipyridal solution was utilized in selected borings as a ferrous iron colorimetric
indicator test for reducing conditions in the soils. Positive tests, indicated by a strong
pink coloration, were encountered typically at depths ranging up tol 1" from the existing
surface.
Adjacent upland soils matched typical dark red Cecil profiles. Non-wetland soils were devoid of
gleying or wetness. Based on the presence of the saturated, low chroma, gleyed soils and other hydric
indicators, the soils within the delineated wet areas met the criteria for hydric soils.
HYDROLOGY:
As mentioned above, all the WOTUS features listed either indicated inundation or near surface
® groundwater saturation (<12"). The delineated areas met the wetland hydrology criteria.
The following "off-site" information was gathered concerning the referenced site:
SOIL SURVEY-(NRCS)
The 1976 soil survey mapped the following soils underlying the referenced project as follows:
Cecil soils (CeD2) along the intermittent stream. These soils are generally described as well drained
and occupying side slopes or uplands.
Pacolet soils (PaE) were mapped a short distance to the south and may be included in the mapping
area.

October 14, 2004
Page 4
It should be noted the Monacan (Mo) series was mapped off-site within the same drainage 300- 400
feet up-stream, a poorly drained unit (low lying).
HYDRIC SOILS LIST-
The two units mapped by the NRCS are not included on the Hydric Soils list as a hydric soil. Within
the referenced tributary, the Monacan soils to the northwest are listed as a map unit "with inclusions
of hydric soils or have wet spots".
NATIONAL WETLANDS INVENTORY (NWI) MAP-
A 1991 U.S. Fish and Wildlife NWI map of the area was reviewed. The tributary was not depicted or
mapped except for an (off-site) designation of several up-stream ponds in the headwater area to the
northwest. The feature was designated as "PSS1Fli", or impounded, semi-permanently flooded
Palustrine System pond with broad-leaf deciduous scrub- shrub vegetation.
FLOOD ZONE MAP-
The GIS system indicated the project the 100-year flood zone did not enter the referenced site.
CONCLUSIONS:
The stream and adjacent wetlands are jurisdictional "Waters of the U. S." with regard to the USACE
and DENR. The wetland is a Headwater Forest, adjacent wetland. The open, grass covered area
within the maintained gas line right-of-way is small, adjacent wet meadow. Hydrologic controls may
include minimal over bank stream flooding as evidenced by minor drift lines surrounding vegetation
and very low leveeing along the stream bank. Other recent features indicative of flooding such as
water stained leaves were not present. The southern edge of the wetland ends abruptly against steep
topography, while the northern edge skirts a sanitary sewer line.
1 Dowell and Company has surveyed the wetland boundary and stream location with the resulting map
provided with the accompanying Nationwide #39 permit, or Pre Construction Notification (PCN).
According to the survey, the two delineated areas encompass a total of 0.202 acres. This wetland
1 delineation is submitted along with the PCN paperwork.
GTSI, on behalf of Dowell and Company and the owner, Young Builders, requests a "jurisdictional
1 determination" (R.J.D. or J.D.) as soon as possible. As indicated in the included permit, the roadway
footprint will impact 0.99 acres of wetland, less than the 0.1-acre threshold for compensatory
mitigation.

A check of the plant communities and species of concern from the NC Heritage Program
Data Base for the area of the project showed the following species of concern:
Etheostoma collis - Carolina darter. The tributary is too small for fish populations.
Villosa vaughaniana - Carolina creekshell. There were no shells present and the creek
is likely too small for successful mussels.
Aster georgianus - Georgia aster. This is a historic record. The habitat is too
wet for this species
.
Helianthus schrveinitzii - Schweinitz's sunflower. The habitat is too wet for this species.
Lotus helleri - Carolina birdfoot trefoil. There is disturbance in the general area of the
ecimens of this species were noted
but no s
roject
.
p
,
p
Thermopsis mollis - Appalachian golden-banner. This is a historic record, but no
® specimens of this genus were present.
There are no recommendations regarding species of concern.
