"After-the-Fact" Nationwide Permit # 38 S&ME Project # 1357-04-790-A
Sam's Mart # 42 Site Charlotte North Carolina February 11, 2005
Project Background
The majority of the work occurred on a tract of land identified as Mecklenburg County Tax Tract
# 06128206, located south of Little Rock Road and Scott Futrell Drive, and north of Wilkinson
Boulevard in Charlotte, North Carolina (35° 14' 12"N, 80° 56'23"W - Figures 1 and 2). This
parcel, along with an approximate 0.5-acre-portion of an adjoining property owned by the North
Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) constitute Tract A. Tract A is approximately
5.8 acres, and contains a small headwater wetland area (Impact Area 1 - Wetland 1) near the
mouth of a culvert draining from the Sam's Mart property. Tract A also contains approximately
140 linear feet (If) of jurisdictional stream (Impact Area 2 - Stream 1). The stream originates in
the northern portion of the site, and flows south through a culvert under Wilkinson Boulevard.
Approximately 70 If of the 140 if of Stream 1 located on Tract A is considered perennial, while
the remaining 701f is considered intermittent.
A smaller portion of the cleanup operations will occur on an 8.45-acre parcel located south of
Wilkinson Boulevard (Mecklenburg County Tax Parcel ID # 11517211), identified as Tract B.
From Tract A, Stream 1 is piped beneath Wilkinson Boulevard and an adjoining tract of land
occupied by the Copal Grill, and emerges on Tract B. Tract B is currently operated as a mobile
home park. Approximately 35 if of Stream 1 is located just inside the northern property
boundary of Tract B, before flowing between large, wooden headwalls and into a second set of
culverts that pipe the stream to the southern portion of the property. The entire portion of Stream
1 located on Tract B is perennial.
S&ME personnel visited the site on Monday, November 29, 2004 and discovered diesel fuel in
the retention basin located east of the Sam's Mart # 42 site, and a tributary located on Tract A,
owned by Mr. David Fuller and Mr. John Blackmon, south of Sam's Mart 42. Mr. Adrian Jazairi
of Sam's Mart requested that S&ME take immediate actions to contain and capture the diesel
fuel, and to perforni other necessary actions to mitigate the release. S&ME immediately initiated
emergency response measures by contracting with Haz-Mat Transportation and Disposal, Inc., of
Charlotte, North Carolina, who began product and water recovery on November 29, 2004, from
the basin and Stream 1 on Tracts A and B.

The source of the diesel release was later found to be a leaking diesel product line damaged
during a third-party's installation of two guard posts or bollards on September 23, 2004.
Discovery of the release was reported to NCDENR-DWM-UST and NCDENR Water Quality
Section, Mooresville Regional Office. Sam's Mart uncovered and repaired the damaged product
line on December 1, 2004.
During a December 8, 2004 telephone conversation with Ms. Amanda Jones with the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers (USACOE), verbal authorization to proceed with the abatement activities
was provided under the condition that the PCN and appropriate supporting documentation be
submitted "after-the-fact." The proposed abatement activities were summarized in a December
16, 2004 letter to Ms. Jones. Mr. Alan Johnson of DWQ's Mooresville Regional Office was also
contacted, and a copy of the December 16, 2004 letter provided to him. Ms. Jones conducted a
site visit on December 21, 2004, during which the jurisdictional limits of Stream 1 and Wetland
1 on tract A were confirmed. On Tract A, Wetland 1 is approximately 0.025 acre, and Stream 1
was considered jurisdictional for a length of approximately 140 if The entire length of Stream 1
located on Tract B is considered jurisdictional, although only approximately 35 if of the stream
will be impacted by the cleanup activities.
Project Impacts
The temporary impacts to jurisdictional areas have been broken down into three areas: Impact
Area 1 is an approximate 0.025-acre wetland located on Tract A; Impact Area 2 is approximately
140 If of Stream 1 (approximately 70 if is intermittent, and approximately 701f is perennial)
located on Tract A, and; Impact Area 3 is approximately 35 if of Stream 1 (perennial) located on
Tract B. Impact Areas 1 and 2, located on Tract A, are depicted by Figure 3A. Impact Area 3,
located on Tract B, is depicted by Figure 3B.
The cleanup activities in Impact Areas 1 and 2 (Figure 3A) involved the removal of petroleum-
impacted soil using a track hoe. Soils with only superficial staining remained in place in an
effort to limit the removal of trees. Removal of the superficially-impacted soil around the base
"After-the-Fact" Nationwide Permit # 38 S&ME Project # 1357-04-790-A
Sam's Mart # 42 Site Charlotte North Carolina February 11, 2005
of trees was performed by hand tools. The excavated soil was then removed from the site and
transported to a permitted disposal facility. During the cleanup operations, soil samples were
collected and analyzed in the field for the presence of petroleum. The goal was to remove the
soil with petroleum levels above 40 mg/kg, in accordance with NCDENR cleanup levels. Due to
the extent of the petroleum-impacted soil in Wetland 1 and Stream 1 on Tract A, the cleanup
activities necessitated excavation of the soil in both areas.
Cleanup activities associated with Impact Area 3 (Figure 3B) are expected to be less invasive,
and will involve only the removal of existing bank vegetation and excavation of portions of the
bank that contain petroleum-impacted soils. The activities may require removal and replacement
of the existing wooden headwalls, such that any petroleum-impacted soils extending behind the
walls can be removed. Much of the work will be conducted by hand, with only limited
mechanical excavation.
The temporary impacts to Wetland 1 are 0.025 acre, and the cumulative, temporary impacts to
Stream 1 are approximately 175 If
No other on-site wetlands or waters of the U.S. are anticipated to be impacted as a result of the
proposed cleanup activities.
Impact Justification
The work was required as part of NCDENR-mandated abatement activities associated with a
petroleum release that occurred at the Sam's Mart # 42. Removal and off-site disposal of the
petroleum-impacted soils from Wetland 1 and Stream 1 was the only way to remediate the soil to
below state-mandated levels (40 mg/kg) and limit further impacts downstream associated with
the release.
During construction, measures were utilized to limit the impacts identified above. These
measures included: 1) the use of siltation barriers and sediment traps; 2) the use of barricades
identifying construction limits such that unnecessary removal of mature tree species did not

Sam's Mart # 42 Site Charlotte North Carolina February 1 l , 2005
occur; 3) regular inspection and maintenance during construction; 4) field testing of soil for
petroleum levels, and; 5) pre-construction meetings.
The proposed work should not cause further degradation of area water quality, and will not
permanently restrict or impede the passage of normal or expected high flows. Efforts were made
to perform the work during periods of no or low flow. Efforts were made to conduct
construction activities at the site in accordance with applicable conditions of the Nationwide
Permit and corresponding 401 Water Quality Certification. No wastes, spoils, solids or fills were
placed within wetlands, waters or riparian areas beyond the limits of those depicted in this PCN
application.
Mitigation
Wetland 1 on tract A (Impact Area 1) and the jurisdictional portion of Stream 1, tract A (Impact
Area 2) will be restored in accordance with a restoration plan prepared by S&ME, and both areas
seeded and replanted with native species. On Tract B, where only removal of bank vegetation
and minor mechanical removal of soil and hand-clearing is anticipated (Impact Area 3),
restoration of the area will entail application of a native seed mix and bio-stabilization. If the
existing headwalls are replaced, care will be taken to ensure that the new headwalls will not
extend beyond the footprint of the original structures. The restoration activities will be fully
outlined in a restoration plan prepared by S&ME, and, in accordance with the directive of the
USACOE, submitted within two weeks of completion of the cleanup work.
Since the impacts are temporary, and the purpose of the project is to avert further adverse effects
to the aquatic enviromnent, we do not anticipate that our client will be required to provide
additional compensatory mitigation. The proposed impacts are temporary, and limited to 175
linear feet of stream (70 intermittent and 105 perennial), and 0.025 acre of wetland.
Appropriate soil erosion and sediment controls have been used and maintained in effective
operating condition during construction. Exposed soil and other fills, as well as work conducted
in the stream, were stabilized at the earliest practicable time, and additional steps were conducted

in an effort to comply with the conditions of NWP-38, as well as applicable State and local
requirements.

(Note - this must be one of North Carolina's seventeen designated major river basins. The River Basin map is
available at litti)://li2o.eiir.state.iic.us/admin/mal)s /.)
9. Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the
project at the time of this application:
Tract A is located south of Little Rock Road and Scott Futrell Drive, and north of
Wilkinson Boulevard in Charlotte, North Carolina. Tract B is located south of and
adjacent to Wilkinson Boulevard, and is currently in operation as a mobile home park.
The vicinity is comprised of woodland and scattered residential and commercial
development.
10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
On Tract A, the project involved the removal of petroleum-impacted soil from
approximately 0.025 acre of jurisdictional wetlands (Impact Area 1) and approximately
70 If of intermittent stream and 105 If of perennial stream (Impact Area 2). A mini
excavator, skid steer loader, dump truck, backhoe and trackhoe were used to complete
the work. On Tract B, the work will involve only minor removal of petroleum-impacted
soils from the banks of approximately 35 if of Stream 1 (Impact Area 3).
11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work:
The impacts identified in this PCN were required to remove petroleum-impacted soil
from the project area to state-mandated cleanup levels and prevent downstream
impacts. The soil was impacted after a vendor punctured a diesel product line at the
Sam's Mart # 42 Site.
IV. Prior Project History
If jurisdictional determinations and/or pennits have been requested and/or obtained for this
project (including all prior phases of the same subdivision) in the past, please explain. Include
the USACE Action ID Number, DWQ Project Number, application date, and date pennits and
certifications were issued or withdrawn. Provide photocopies of previously issued permits,
certifications or other useful information. Describe previously approved wetland, stream and
buffer impacts, along with associated mitigation (where applicable). If this is a NCDOT project,
list and describe pen-nits issued for prior segments of the same T.I.P. project, along with
construction schedules.
The on-site wetlands and waters of the U.S. were identified by S&ME and confirmed by the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE) on December 21, 2004. Jurisdictional areas on
Tract A consist of one wetland area (Wetland 1) that is approximately 0.025 acre, and one
jurisdictional stream (Stream 1) that is approximately 140 If (Figure 3A). On Tract A,
Stream 1 is intermittent for approximately 70 If, and perennial for approximately 70 If. On
Tract B, Stream 1 is considered perennial in its entirety, although only approximately 351f
of Stream 1 will be affected by the cleanup activities.

Are any future permit requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work,
and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application.
It is not anticipated that the proposed project will result in additional impacts to
jurisdictional wetlands or waters of the U.S. beyond those identified in this PCN.
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, pennanent
and temporary, must be listed herein, and must be clearly identifiable on an accompanying site
plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intennittent 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:
Work within Tract A entailed excavation of petroleum-impacted soil within approximately
0.025 acre of wetland, approximately 70 if of intermittent stream, and 70 If of perennial
stream. The excavated soils on Tract A will be replaced with clean, earthen material, and
jurisdictional portions restored in accordance with a restoration plan prepared by S&AIE.
Work within Tract B will be limited to removal of petroleum-impacted soils from the banks
of approximately 35 if of perennial stream, followed by restoration of the affected area in
accordance with the aforementioned restoration plan.

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 work was required as part of abatement activities associated with a petroleum release
that occurred at the Sam's Mart # 42 site, following puncture of a diesel product line by a
vendor. To limit impacts associated with the release further downstream, the petroleum-
impacted soils were excavated from Wetland 1 and Stream 1, and removed form the site
for proper disposal. Although alternative measures of abatement were considered,
excavation of the affected soil within Wetland 1 and Stream 1 was the most expedient
method of limiting further migration of petroleum to downstream areas.
S&ME Natural Resources personnel informed the USACOE and NCDWQ of the proposed
abatement plans in a December 16, 2004 letter, and were given verbal authorization to
proceed. Accordingly, this PCN is being submitted "after-the-fact".
During construction, measures were utilized to limit the impacts identified above. These
measures included: 1) the use of siltation barriers, sediment traps and; 2) the use of
barricades identifying construction limits such that unnecessary removal of mature trees
did not occur; 3) regular inspection and maintenance during construction; 4) field testing
of soil for petroleum levels, and; 5) pre-construction meetings.
The proposed work should not cause further degradation of area water quality, and will
not permanently restrict or impede the passage of normal or expected high flows. Efforts
were made to perform the work during periods of no or low flow, and to conduct
construction activities at the site such that no violation of water quality standards, statutes
or rules occurred as a result. No wastes, spoils, solids or fills will be placed within
wetlands, waters or riparian areas beyond the limits of those depicted in this PCN
application.
VIII. Mitigation
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
Pernits, 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
Page 6 of 10
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, et-Aiancing, 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 Tecluiical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://li2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwet]ands/strm,gidc.htni1.
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.
Wetland 1 and Stream 1 will be adequately restored, seeded and replanted with native
species in accordance with a restoration plan prepared by S&ME. The USACOE has
indicated that the restoration plan should be submitted within two weeks of completion
of the cleanup activities.
Since the impacts are temporary, and the purpose of the project is to avert further
adverse effects to the aquatic environment, we do not anticipate that our client will be
required to provide additional compensatory mitigation. The cumulative, temporary
impacts to the perennial portion of Stream 1 is limited to approximately 105 If, and
0.025 acre of wetlands - both below the threshold for impacts requiring compensatory
mitigation. Compensatory mitigation is not required for temporary impacts to
intermittent streams.
Appropriate soil erosion and sediment controls have been used and maintained in
effective operating condition during construction. Exposed soil and other fills, as well
as work conducted in the stream, were stabilized at the earliest practicable time, and
additional steps were taken in an effort to comply with the conditions of NWP-38, as
well as applicable State and local requirements.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP).
Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the EEP 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 EEP, check the
Page 7 of 10
NCWRP website at littp://Ii2o.enr.state.ne.us/wr2/index.litm. If use of the EEP is proposed,

In accordance with the directive of the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE),
S&ME, Inc. (S&ME) is pleased to submit this restoration plan on behalf of Sam's Investments,
Inc. (Sam's Mart), as mitigation for impacts to 140 linear feet (10 of perennial stream, and 0.025
acre of headwater wetlands at the Sam's Mart No. 42 property (Figure 1). The restoration plan is
being submitted in accordance with Department of the Army Nationwide Permit (NWP) 38.
The restoration area is a portion of the Charlotte West, N.C. USGS topographic quadrangle,
dated 1993 (Figure 2). The restoration area, identified as a dashed line on the USGS quad, is
located in the Coffey Creek drainage basin in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.
The opinions included in this summary letter are based on information obtained during S&ME's
field reviews, our professional experience, and our understanding of necessary restoration, as
described during a December 21, 2004 on-site meeting between S&ME's Mr. Joey Lawler

and Ms. Amanda Jones of the USACOE. Additionally, information provided in this letter is
based on observations made on the dates noted, and using the procedures described herein,
within the subject property as identified on the attached exhibits.
Background Information
The subject property is identified as Mecklenburg County Tax Parcel No. 06128206, and is
located south of Little Rock Road and Scott Futrell Drive, and north of Wilkinson Boulevard in
Charlotte, North Carolina (35° 14' 12"N, 80° 56'23"W). The subject property is approximately
5.3 acres, and contains approximately 1401f of perennial stream that originates in the southern
portion of the site, and flows south through a culvert under Wilkinson Boulevard (Figure 3). A
small headwater wetland area, is also present near the mouth of a culvert draining from the
Sam's Mart property.
The work was required as part of state and county mandated initial assessment and abatement
activities and emergency response actions associated with a petroleum release that occurred at
the Sam's Mart No. 42. To prevent further downstream impacts associated with the release, the
petroleum-impacted soils were excavated from the stream and headwater wetland, and removed
from the site for proper disposal.
Existing Site Conditions
A field visit was conducted on December 7, 2004 by S&ME personnel, prior to the initiation of
land-disturbing response actions, to document existing vegetation. Our observations revealed
that the area impacted by the fuel spill was wooded. Canopy trees primarily consisted of willow
oak (Quer-cus phellos) and red maple (Ater rubrum) with a shrub layer of Chinese privet
(Ligustrum sinense). Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) was also prevalent.
The site was revisited during the excavation to remove the contaminated soil. These site visits
occurred on December 30, 2004 and January 12, 2005. During these visits it was noted that soil
excavation varied from approximately 18 inches to four feet. It is our understanding that clean
2
Restoration Plan S&ME Project No. 1357-04-790B
Sam's Mart No. 42 February 22, 2005
fill soil will be brought to the site and that the original grades and contours will be restored. The
scope of this restoration plan is limited to identifying appropriate plant materials to revegetate
the areas disturbed during the response activities. The USACOE has directed that the disturbed
area be restored by supplemental plantings. All recommendations described below are intended
to meet said directive by the USACOE.
Recommendations
In accordance with our discussions with the USACOE, S&ME recommends that the remedial
measures described in our attached planting plan (Figure 4), be undertaken by a qualified
contractor on behalf of Sam's Mart. The plans specify a seed mix to be applied over the entire
disturbed area, with containerized plantings of native trees and shrubs on exposed land adjacent
to the stream.
Restoration
A native seed mix will be applied throughout the restoration area, as specified in Table 1, below,
and on the Planting Plan (Figure 4). This seed mix will be installed with a temporary
groundcover species to provide immediate coverage of disturbed soil. Additionally,
supplemental containerized plantings will be installed in accordance with the Planting Plan and
Table 2, below.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Cyndi B. Karoly, Supervisor
401 Oversight and Express Permits Unit
NCDWQ Wetlands and Stormwater Branch
FROM: Ron Linville, Regional Coordinator MAR 0 3 2005
Habitat Conservation Program DENR - WATER QUALITY
WETLANDS AND STORMWATER BRANCH
DATE: March 1, 2005
SUBJECT: Review of an application by Sam's Mart # 42, Petroleum Release, Unnamed
Tributary Coffey Creek, Little Rock Road, DWQ No. 050290, Mecklenburg
County
Sam's Mart is requesting 401 Water Quality Certification from the North Carolina Division of
Water Quality. The NCWRC has reviewed information provided by the applicant, and field
biologists on our staff are familiar with habitat values of the project area. These comments are
provided in accordance with provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et. seq.)
and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d).
This is an after-the-fact permit application due to a diesel release into waters and wetlands.
Petroleum contaminated soil removal impacted jurisdictional waters. Roughly 0.025 acres of
wetlands and 175 linear feet of stream have been impacted. The project proposes to adequately
restore the affected areas and replant them with native plants.
Based on our review of the submittal, we do not object to the project. To the extent possible,
remedial actions should include restoration of appropriate wetland and riparian soil types. The
use of remediated soils from the site may be acceptable. The project should restore the affected
areas to pre disturbance conditions and, if possible, restore natural channel form and dimensions
as routinely done with state-of-the-art natural channel or bioengineering designs. Autochthonous
plants should be used for the project.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If you have any questions
regarding these comments, please contact me at 336/769-9453.

Comments: As per our discussion regarding revision of the triage and delegation processes,
please review the attached file. Note that you are the first reviewer, so this file will need to be
reviewed for administrative as well as technical details. If you elect to place this project on hold,
please ask the applicant to provide your requested information to both the Central Office in
Raleigh as well as the Asheville Regional Office. As we discussed, this is an experimental, interim
procedure as we slowly transition to electronic applications. Please apprise me of any
complications you encounter, whether related to workload, processing times, or lack of a "second
reviewer" as the triage process in Central had previously provided. Also, if you think of ways to
improve this process, especially so that we can plan for the electronic applications, let me know.
Thanks!
