Executive Summary
The 2221 Wensley Drive project is located in south Charlotte near South Boulevard,
approximately nine tenths of a mile east of its intersection with Archdale Drive in Mecklenburg
County, North Carolina (Attachment A - Figures 1, 2a and 2b). The purpose of this project is to
replace an existing 18" RCP that runs from a catch basin on Wensley Drive to an endwall located
on the right bank of an unnamed tributary (UT) to Sugar Creek that is damaged and causing
sinkholes. The right creek bank just downstream from the endwall will be reinforced with
approximately 25 linear feet (10 of rip-rap along the outside of the stream bend. These activities
are being performed in order to adequately convey storm water flows and prevent further channel
erosion. ESI has been contracted by CSWS to provide permitting services for this project.
The results of the on-site field investigation conducted by Environmental Services, Inc. (ESI)
indicate that there is one jurisdictional stream channel within the project limits, UT to Sugar
Creek, located behind (north of) 2221 Wensley Drive (Attachment A - Figure 3). Impacts
resulting from this activity will total 25 linear feet of bank stabilization with rip-rap (along one
bank). On behalf of CSWS, ESI is submitting a Pre-Construction Notification application in
accordance with Nationwide Permit (NWP) Number 13 (Attachment C).
Existing Conditions
The 2221 Wensley Drive project is located in south Charlotte near South Boulevard,
approximately nine tenths of a mile east of its intersection with Archdale Drive in Mecklenburg
County, North Carolina (Attachment A - Figures 1, 2a and 2b). The purpose of this project is to
replace an existing 18" RCP that runs from a catch basin on Wensley Drive to an endwall located
on the right bank of an unnamed tributary (UT) to Sugar Creek that is damaged and causing
sinkholes. The right creek bank just downstream from the endwall will be reinforced with
approximately 25 linear feet (10 of rip-rap along the outside of the stream bend. These activities
are being performed in order to adequately convey storm water flows and prevent further channel
erosion. ESI has been contracted by CSWS to provide permitting services for this project.
Current Land Use
The project study area and surrounding vicinity consists primarily of residential land use.
Dominant vegetation includes American beech (Fagus grandifolia), pignut hickory (Carya
glabra), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), flowering dogwood (Corpus florida), Chinese
privett (Ligustrum sinense), English ivy (Hedera helix), muscadine grape (Vitis rotundifolia), and
fescue (Festuca spp.). According to the Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO) Database for
Mecklenburg County, on-site soils consist of Pacolet sandy loam (PaE) (Attachment A - Figures
2a and 2b). This soil type is well drained and exhibits moderate permeability and low water
capacity.
Jurisdictional Determination
On September 6, 2005, ESI's Kyle Springs reviewed the on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S.,
as defined by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), utilizing the Routine On-Site
Determination Method. This method is defined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands
Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory 1987). Based on this approach, there are no
jurisdictional wetland areas within the project study area. A Routine On-Site Data Form
representative of on-site non jurisdictional upland areas has been included as Attachment D.
Jurisdictional waters of the U.S. were classified according to recent North Carolina Division of
Water Quality (NCDWQ) and USACE guidance. A NCDWQ Stream Classification Form and
USACE Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet representative of the UT to Sugar Creek have been
included as Attachment E.
The results of the on-site field investigation indicate that there is one jurisdictional stream channel
within the project limits, UT to Sugar Creek, located behind (north of) 2221 Wensley Drive
(Attachment A - Figure 3). Sugar Creek is part of the Catawba River basin (HUC 03050103)
(NCDWQ 03-08-34), which is classified as "Class C" waters by the NCDWQ (NCDWQ 2004a),
and is included on the North Carolina 303(d) Impaired Waters List (NCDWQ 2004b). ESI is
requesting written verification of the jurisdictional detennination of UT to Sugar Creek
(Attachment B).
The jurisdictional stream (UT to Sugar Creek) consists of a deeply entrenched channel located
behind (north of) 2221 Wensley Drive. The stream enters the site from the west and flows to the
east towards Sugar Creek. The endwall for the 18" RCP is located on the right stream bank of
UT to Sugar Creek approximately 40 feet inside the western property boundary. Just below the
2
18" RCP endwall, UT to Sugar Creek scored a 33 out of a possible 71 points on the NCDWQ
Stream Classification Form (Attachment B), a score of 19 is needed for the stream to be
considered at least intermittent in nature. UT to Sugar Creek scored a 48 out of a possible 100
points on the USACE Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet further indicating that the feature
present is a jurisdictional stream (Attachment B). Representative photographs depicting the
drainage feature and on-site conditions are included as Attachment F.
Agency Correspondence
Cultural Resources
ESI personnel visited the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on September 9, 2005, to
review the archaeological site files in order to determine the presence of any areas of architectural,
historic, or archaeological significance that would be affected by the project. No recorded
archaeological sites or National Register listed properties are located within 0.5-mile of the project
study area.
Protected Species
ESI personnel visited the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) offices on
September 8, 2005 to determine the presence of any federally-listed species or designated critical
habitat located within the project vicinity. Based on the review of NCNHP records, no federally
listed species are located within 3 miles of the project study area. No designated critical habitat is
located within 3 miles of the project study area
Purpose and Need for the Project
The purpose of this project is to replace an existing 18" RCP from a catch basin on Wensley Drive
to an endwall located on the right bank of an unnamed tributary (UT) to Sugar Creek that is
damaged and causing sinkholes. The right creek bank just downstream from the endwall will be
reinforced with approximately 25 linear feet (If) of rip-rap along the outside of the stream bend.
These activities are being performed in order to adequately convey storm water flows and prevent
further channel erosion.
Avoidance and Minimization
Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters have been minimized to the maximum extent practicable.
Reinforcing the stream bank on the outside of the stream bend just below the 18" RCP with 25 if
of rip-rap will act to reduce erosion and downstream sedimentation, thus increasing the water
quality of the stream.
Proposed Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters
Proposed impacts include: 25 linear feet of bank stabilization with rip-rap. On behalf of CSWS,
ESI is submitting a Pre-Construction Notification application with attachments in accordance with
NWP 13 (Attachment C).

Compensatory Mitigation
The proposed design of this project is intended to prevent bank erosion of UT to Sugar Creek,
thereby reducing sedimentation and improving water quality downstream. Given these
improvements, in addition to the limited nature of the proposed impacts, no mitigation is currently
being proposed for this project.

8. Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project
at the time of this application: The project study area consists of an unnamed tributary (UT)
to Sugar Creek. The project study area and surrounding vicinity consists primarily of
residential land use.
9. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: UT to
Sugar Creek consists of a deeply entrenched channel located behind (north of) 2221 Wensley
Drive. The stream enters the site from the west and flows to the east towards Sugar Creek.
A catch basin is located on Wensley Drive that conveys stornlwater flow through a degraded
and failing 18" RCP to an endwall on UT to Sugar Creek. The endwall for the 18" RCP is
located on the right stream bank of UT to Sugar Creek approximately 40 feet inside the
western property boundary. This project will replace the existing 18" RCP that runs from
the catch basin on Wensley Drive to the endwall located on the right bank of an unnamed
tributary (UT) to Sugar Creek that is damaged and causing sinkholes. The right creek bank
iust downstream from the endwall will be reinforced with approximately 25 linear feet (1f) of
rip-rap along the outside of the stream bend. A trackhoe, in addition to other typical
excavation equipment will be used for this project.
10. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: The purpose of this project is to replace an
existing 18" RCP that runs from a catch basin on Wensley Drive to an endwall located on the
right bank of an unnamed tributary (UT) to Sugar Creek that is damaged and causing
sinkholes. The right creek bank just downstream from the endwall will be reinforced with
approximately 25 linear feet (if) of rip-rap along the outside of the stream bend. These
activities are being,perfonned in order to adequately convey storm water flows and prevent
further channel erosion.

* List each impact separately and identify temporary impacts. Impacts include, but are not limited to: culverts 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.), excavation, ditching/straightening, 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 are available through the USGS at 1-800-358-9616, or online at
Nvwvv.us^_s.,Pov. Several internet sites also allow direct download and printing of USGS maps (e.g., \v\vw.topozone.com,
ww\v.ma(Juest.com, etc.).
Cumulative impacts (linear distance in feet) to all streams on site: 25 linear feet
4. Individually list all open water impacts (including lakes, ponds, estuaries, sounds, Atlantic
Ocean and any other water of the U.S.) below:

(indicate on ma) (acres) bay, ocean, etc.)

N/A
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

local stonriwater requirement, etc.): N/A
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.
Imnacts to on-site iurisdictional waters have been minimized to the maximum extent practicable.
Reinforcing the stream bank on the outside of the stream bend just below the 18" RCP with 25 if
of rip-rap will act to reduce erosion and downstream sedimentation, thus increasing the water
aualitv of the stream.
VIII. Mitigation
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.
The nronosed design of this nroiect is intended to prevent bank erosion of UT to Sugar
Creek, thereby reducing sedimentation and improving water quality downstream. Given
these improvements, in addition to the limited nature of the proposed impacts, no mitigation
is currently beini? proposed for this project.
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

APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Karl:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact 25
linear feet (If) of unnamed stream to Sugar Creek in order to stabilize the stream channel in Mecklenburg
County, as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on September 30,
2005. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this project is covered by Water Quality
General Certification Number 3495, which can be viewed on our web site at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. The General Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number
13 once it is issued to you by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Please note that you should get any other
federal, state or local permits before proceeding with your project, including those required by (but not limited
to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge, and Water Supply Watershed regulations.
The above noted Certification will expire when the associated 404 permit expires unless otherwise
specified in the General Certification. This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described
in your application. If you change your project, you must notify us in writing, and you may be required to send
us a new application for a new certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the
Certification and approval letter; and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions.
In addition to the requirements of the certification, you must also comply with the following conditions:
1. All wetlands, streams, surface waters, and riparian buffers located on the project site where impacts are not
allowed shall be clearly marked (example- orange fabric fencing) prior to any land disturbing activities.
2. The planting of native vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization techniques must be used where
practicable instead of riprap or other bank hardening methods. If riprap is necessary, it shall not be placed in
the streambed, unless approved by the DWQ.
3. Stormwater discharge structures at this site shall be constructed in a manner such that the potential receiving
streams (of the discharge) will not be impacted due to sediment accumulations, scouring or erosion of the
stream banks.
4. No waste, spoils, solids, or fill of any kind shall be placed in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the
footprint of the impacts depicted in the Preconstruction Notification application. All construction activities
associated with this project shall meet, and/or exceed, those requirements specified in the most recent
version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual and shall be conducted so that no
violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur. No Carolina

5. Sediment and erosion control devices shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum extent
practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable,
they shall be removed and the natural grade restored within two months of the date the Division of Land
Resources has released the project.
6. Upon completion of the project, the applicant shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" form to the 401iWetlands Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality. Please send photographs of
the upstream and downstream sides of each culvert site to document correct installation, along with the
Certificate of Completion form.
7. Continuing Compliance. The applicant (City of Charlotte) shall conduct all activities in a manner so as not to
contravene any state water quality standard (including any requirements for compliance with section 303(d)
of the Clean Water Act) and any other appropriate requirements of state and federal law. If DWQ determines
that such standards or laws are not being met (including the failure to sustain a designated or achieved use)
or that state or federal law is being violated, or that further conditions are necessary to assure compliance,
DWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification to include conditions appropriate to assure compliance with
such standards and requirements in accordance with 15 A NCAC 2H.0507(d). Before codifying the
certification, DWQ shall notify the applicant and the US Army Corps of Engineers, provide public notice in
accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0503, and provide opportunity for public hearing in accordance with 15A
NCAC 2H.0504. Any new or revised conditions shall be provided to the applicant in writing, shall be provided
to the United States Army Corps of Engineers for reference in any permit issued pursuant to Section 404 of
the Clean Water Act, and shall also become conditions of the 404 Permit for the project.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You
must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition that
conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714
Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless
you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act.
If you have any questions, please telephone Mr. Alan Johnson in the Mooresville Regional Office at 704-663-

Executive Summary
The 2221 Wensley Drive project is located in south Charlotte near South Boulevard,
approximately nine tenths of a mile east of its intersection with Archdale Drive in Mecklenburg
County, North Carolina (Attachment A - Figures 1, 2a and 2b). The purpose of this project is to
replace an existing IS" RCP that runs from a catch basin on Wensley Drive to an endwall located
on the right bank of an unnamed tributary (UT) to Sugar Creek that is damaged and causing
sinkholes. The right creek bank just downstream from the endwall will be reinforced with
approximately 25 linear feet (10 of rip-rap along the outside of the stream bend. These activities
are being performed in order to adequately convey storm water flows and prevent further channel
erosion. ESI has been contracted by CSWS to provide pennitting services for this project.
The results of the on-site field investigation conducted by Environmental Services, Inc. (ESI)
indicate that there is one jurisdictional stream channel within the project limits, UT to Sugar
Creek, located behind (north of) 2221 Wensley Drive (Attachment A - Figure 3). Impacts
resulting from this activity will total 25 linear feet of bank stabilization with rip-rap (along one
bank). On behalf of CSWS, ESI is submitting a Pre-Construction Notification application in
accordance with Nationwide Permit (NWP) Number 13 (Attachment Q.
Existing Conditions
The 2221 Wensley Drive project is located in south Charlotte near South Boulevard,
approximately nine tenths of a mile east of its intersection with Archdale Drive in Mecklenburg
County, North Carolina (Attachment A - Figures 1, 2a and 2b). The purpose of this project is to
replace an existing 18" RCP that runs from a catch basin on Wensley Drive to an endwall located
on the right bank of an unnamed tributary (UT) to Sugar Creek that is damaged and causing
sinkholes. The right creek bank just downstream from the endwall will be reinforced with
approximately 25 linear feet (10 of rip-rap along the outside of the stream bend. These activities
are being performed in order to adequately convey storni water flows and prevent further channel
erosion. ESI has been contracted by CSWS to provide permitting services for this project.
Current Land Use
The project study area and surrounding vicinity consists primarily of residential land use.
Dominant vegetation includes American beech (Fagus grandifolia), pignut hickory (Carya
glabra), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), flowering dogwood (Corpus florida), Chinese
privett (Liguslrum sinense), English ivy (Hedera helix), muscadine grape (Vitis rotupdifolia), and
fescue (Festuca spp.). According to the Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO) Database for
Mecklenburg County, on-site soils consist of Pacolet sandy loam (PaE) (Attachment A - Figures
2a and 2b). This soil type is well drained and exhibits moderate permeability and low water
capacity.
Jurisdictional Determination
On September 6, 2005, ESI's Kyle Springs reviewed the on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S.,
as defined by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), utilizing the Routine On-Site
Determination Method. This method is defined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands
Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory 1987). Based on this approach, there are no
jurisdictional wetland areas within the project study area. A Routine On-Site Data Form
representative of on-site non jurisdictional upland areas has been included as Attachment D.
Jurisdictional waters of the U.S. were classified according to recent North Carolina Division of
Water Quality (NCDWQ) and USACE guidance. A NCDWQ Stream Classification Form and
USACE Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet representative of the UT to Sugar Creek have been
included as Attachment E.
The results of the on-site field investigation indicate that there is one jurisdictional stream channel
within the project limits, UT to Sugar Creek, located behind (north of) 2221 Wensley Drive
(Attachment A - Figure 3). Sugar Creek is part of the Catawba River basin (HUC 03050103)
(NCDWQ 03-08-34), which is classified as "Class C" waters by the NCDWQ (NCDWQ 2004a),
and is included on the North Carolina 303(d) Impaired Waters List (NCDWQ 2004b). ESI is
requesting written verification of the jurisdictional determination of UT to Sugar Creek
(Attachment B).
The jurisdictional stream (UT to Sugar Creek) consists of a deeply entrenched channel located
behind (north of) 2221 Wensley Drive. The stream enters the site from the west and flows to the
east towards Sugar Creek. The endwall for the 18" RCP is located on the right stream bank of
UT to Sugar Creek approximately 40 feet inside the western property boundary. Just below the
2
18" RCP endwall, UT to Sugar Creek scored a 33 out of a possible 71 points on the NCDWQ
Stream Classification Form (Attachment .B), a score of 19 is needed for the stream to be
considered at least intermittent in nature. UT to Sugar Creek scored a 48 out of a possible 100
points on the USACE Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet further indicating that the feature
present is a jurisdictional stream (Attaclnnent B). Representative photographs depicting the
drainage feature and on-site conditions are included as Attachment F.
Agency Correspondence
Cultural Resources
ESI personnel visited the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on September 9, 2005, to
review the archaeological site files in order to detennine the presence of any areas of architectural,
historic, or archaeological significance that would be affected by the project. No recorded
archaeological sites or National Register listed properties are located within 0.5-mile of the project
study area.
Protected Species
ESI personnel visited the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) offices on
September 8, 2005 to determine the presence of any federally-listed species or designated critical
habitat located within the project vicinity. Based on the review of NCNHP records, no federally
listed species are located within 3 miles of the project study area. No designated critical habitat is
located within 3 miles of the project study area
Purpose and Need for the Project
The purpose of this project is to replace an existing 18" RCP from a catch basin on Wensley Drive
to an endwall located on the right bank of an unnamed tributary (UT) to Sugar Creek that is
damaged and causing sinkholes. The right creek bank just downstream from the endwall will be
reinforced with approximately 25 linear feet (If) of rip-rap along the outside of the stream bend.
These activities are being performed in order to adequately convey storm water flows and prevent
further channel erosion.
Avoidance and Minimization
Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters have been minimized to the maximum extent practicable.
Reinforcing the stream bank on the outside of the stream bend just below the 18" RCP with 25 if
of rip-rap will act to reduce erosion and downstream sedimentation, thus increasing the water
quality of the stream.
Proposed Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters
Proposed impacts include: 25 linear feet of bank stabilization with rip-rap. On behalf of CSWS,
ESI is submitting a Pre-Construction Notification application with attachments in accordance with
NWP 13 (Attachment C).

Compensatory Mitigation
The proposed design of this project is intended to prevent bank erosion of UT to Sugar Creek,
thereby reducing sedimentation and improving water quality downstream. Given these
improvements, in addition to the limited nature of the proposed impacts, no mitigation is currently
being proposed for this project.

(Note - this must be one of North Carolina's seventeen designated major river basins. The
River Basin map is available at http://li2o.enr.state.nc.us/admin/maps/.)
8. Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project
at the time of this application: The project study area consists of an unnamed tributary (UT)
to SuEzar Creek. The project study area and surrounding vicinity consists primarily of
residential land use.
9. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: UT to
Sugar Creek consists of a deeply entrenched channel located behind (north of) 2221 Wensley
Drive. The stream enters the site from the west and flows to the east towards Sugar Creek.
A catch basin is located on Wensley Drive that conveys stormwater flow through a degraded
and failing 18" RCP to an endwall on UT to Sugar Creek. The endwall for the 18" RCP is
located on the right stream bank of UT to Sugar Creek approximately 40 feet inside the
western property boundary. This project will replace the existing 18" RCP that runs from
the catch basin on Wensley Drive to the endwall located on the right bank of an unnamed
tributary _(UT to Sugar Creek that is damaged and causing sinkholes. The right creek bank
just downstream from the endwall will be reinforced with approximately 25 linear feet (If) of
rip-rap along the outside of the stream bend. A trackhoe, in addition to other typical
excavation equipment will be used for this project.
10. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: The purpose of this project is to replace an
existing 18" RCP that runs from a catch basin on Wensley Drive to an endwall located on the
right bank of an unnamed tributary (UT) to Sugar Creek that is damaged and causing
sinkholes. The right creek bank just downstream from the endwall will be reinforced with
approximately 25 linear feet Of) of rip-rap along the outside of the stream bend. These
activities are being performed in order to adequately convey storm water flows and prevent
further channel erosion.

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.
Impacts to on-site iurisdictional waters have been minimized to the maximum extent practicable.
Reinforcing the streain bank on the outside of the stream bend just below the 18" RCP with 25 if
of rip-rap will act to reduce erosion and downstream sedimentation, thus increasing the water
quality of the stream.
VIII. Mitigation
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much inforination 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.
The nronosed design of this nroiect is intended to prevent bank erosion of UT to Sugar
Creek, thereby reducing sedimentation and improving water quality downstream. Given
these improvements. in addition to the limited nature of the proposed impacts, no mitigation
is currently being proposed for this project.
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

Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points
to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the
characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a
characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the
comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture
into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each
reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the
highest quality.
