Project #458. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) has completed its review of the subject document submitted by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utility Department as prepared by Hazen and Sawyer, P.C. Our comments are provided in accordance with certain provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d), Section 201 of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (as amended), and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et. seq.). We were encouraged by the wetlands information, vegetative cover type map, and endangered species account that was included in this revised Environmental Assessment. NCWRC has no further comment and/or objections to the project as proposed. We do, however, have the following recommendations and wish that they be considered as permit conditions: 1. The 1.79 acres of disturbed wetlands within the project's force main and outfall corridor should be sloped, graded, restored to original contour and seeded to an annual small grain such as wheat, rye and/or millet. We recommend that mowed maintenance not occur in wetland areas and that they be allowed to revert to a natural vegetative condition following this initial stabilization. Memo Page 2 January 5, 1992 2. If concrete encasement of the outfall and/or the sewer line is to occur at McAlpine Creek or at any point along Four Mile Creek, wet concrete should be prevented from entering the streamflow. Wet concrete is toxic to numerous aquatic organisms and should be contained until such time that it has cured sufficiently to prevent downstream travel. 3. Man-holes located within the 100 year flood plain should be sealed and vented to prevent floodwater intrusion and to eliminate sewage escape. Thank you for the opportunity to review and provide comment on this project. Should you have any questions, or wish to discuss any of these comments please contact me at (919) 528-9886.

ACTIVITY Construction o approx. 600 LF o 24-inch orce main DIP an approx. 24,500 LF of gravity sewer outfall generally paralleling 4-Mile Creek at an elevation below the flow line of the creek. The construction will involve approx. 2050 LF of line through wetlands, involving approx. 1.8 acres. A 40 foot maximum construction easement is utilized. Excavation for the pipe ranges from 8 to 12 feet deep. Total excavation and backfill will be approx. 7300 cu.yd. Finished grade will be restored to original conditions and all work will be conducted in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations. A Finding of No Significant Impact(FONSI been issued by the N.C. Division of Environmental Management. 4b. PURPOSE The proposed project is for the use and benefit of the public, and replaces an existing outfall which is undersized. Currently, during peak loads, raw sewage overflows the existing outfall creating health hazards and adverse environmental conditions. In addition to overloading problems, the existing outfall is too high for existing development on the south side of the creek to reach without aerial creek crossings which are subject to hazards associated with breaks.and leaks. The new outfall will eliminate the aerial crossings. 4c. DISCHARGE OF DREDGED OR FILL MATERIAL Fill material will consist of 24-inch ductile iron pipe (DIP) and 30 and 36-inch PVC and DIP pipe, stone bedding below the ppipe and native materials from the excavation above the pipe. Stone will be Size ()67 ASTM D448 l l angu ar, c ean, washed crushed stone. Native materials are predominately Type II Monacan, a nearly level somewhat poorly drained alluvium of rece t n deposition consisting of sandy loam and silty clay loam. Pipe and stone bedding will be transported to the site along the sewer line route and from adjacent routes accessible to the site through non-wetland areas. No stockpiling material or spoil in the wetland areas will be permitted.

Proposed Facilities and Actions, Funding Sources The proposed project includes a parallel gravity outfall, elimination of existing aerial creek crossings, wastewater pumping station and a force main to the Charlotte- Mecklenburg Utility Department's (CMUD) existing McAlpine Creek Outfall. The project will provide wastewater collection for the Four Mile Creek Basin service area of which approximately eleven percent is located within the City of Matthews, twenty-six percent located within the City of Charlotte and sixty-three percent in unincorporated areas of Mecklenburg County. The proposed project service areas are located entirely within the 20 year growth area of the City of Charlotte and the City of Matthews. The proposed project consists of approximately 24,500 L.F. of 30"-36" gravity outfall running along Four Mile Creek, lowering of 7 existing aerial crossings, a 6 MGD average daily flow pumping station and a .24" force main. The proposed outfall generally parallels the existing Four Mile Creek Outfall at an elevation below the flow line of Four Mile Creek. Project limits are between the confluence of Four Mile Creek and McAlpine Creek and Providence Road. Wastewater will be transported to the proposed pumping station via the proposed outfall and discharged through approximately 600 L.F. of 24" force main to the existing 54" McAlpine Outfall where it will be conveyed to the existing McAlpine Wastewater Treatment Plant for treatment. The proposed project will eliminate overflows at manholes on the existing Four Mile Creek Outfall during high flow periods as well as provide for future wastewater flows from..currently-undevelope-d . and in the Four Mile Creek Basin. The project will be constructed in one phase. A map showing the proposed project is presented in Figure 1. The cost of the project is estimated to be approximately six million dollars and will be obtained from City of Charlotte funds. - 1 - VVk !JI?O)z???I!,?-??`I`t(?? _ y• \ ?:?r \r?iiV/i •' •?\?i,,-_ /`?? i ?( 'l ??•• bh n?r\ j ~ ?

Existing Environment 2.1 Topography and Soils The City of Charlotte is located in the southern portion of Mecklenburg County which lies entirely within the southern physiographic region. It is characterized by broad, gently rolling interstream areas and by steeper slopes along the drainage ways. Differences in elevation range from 50 to 100 feet from the highest to the lowest points. Elevations in the County range from 540 feet above sea level in Pineville to a high point of 830 feet in Cornelius. Mecklenburg County is composed of soils from eight soil associations: Cecil, Cecil-Urban Land, Iredell-Mecklenburg, Wilkes-Enon, Enon-Helena-Vance, Pacolet- Cecil, Monacan and Georg evil le-Go ldston-Lignum. A soil association consists of a landscape having a distinctive proportional pattern of soils. Soils in the Four Mile Creek Basin are located within the Cecil, Iredell-Mecklenburg and Wilkes-Enon soil associations. These three soil associations consist of gently sloping to steep with moderately well drained to well drained soils. All three classifications have a predominately clayey subsoil. The Cecil was formed in residuum from acid igneous and metamorphic rock; the Iredell-Mecklenburg from diorite, gabbro, and other rock high in ferromagnesian minerals; and the Wilkes-Enon from diorite, hornblende schist, and other basic rock, or from mixed acidic and basic rock. The project is located in the floodway and floodway fringe of Four Mile Creek in ...._._ .......... ...... ...... Southern Mecklenburg County. The area's predominate soil Type II Monacan, a nearly level, somewhat poorly drained soil formed by recent alluvium deposits on the floodplain. The surface layer is brownish loam, fine sandy loam or sandy loam. The subsoil is reddish loam in the upper part and brownish or grayish silty clay loam, fine sandy loam, sandy clay loam, and sandy clay in the lower part. This soil classification is further characterized by low organic matter in the surface layer, moderate permeability, low shrink-swell potential and slow surface runoff. The available water capacity is high. The soil is strongly acid to neutral. Depth to bedrock is typically more than 60 inches. Fill has been added in some areas. -2- The seasonal water table is .5 to 2 feet in winter and spring. Some areas adjacent to the pipeline route are inundated with standing water apparently held in place by logs and debris resulting from Hurricane Hugo which have blocked the flow of Four Mile Creek in several places. Approximate 1.79 acres of wetlands ed upon a 40' wide construction easement) are expected o e project. This acreage includes wetlands along the outfall as well as along the force main from the pumping station as it crosses McAlpine Creek to tie to the existing 54" McAlpine Creek Outfall. Wetlands are discussed further in Section 6.2. 2.2 Surface Waters In general, the land in the County slopes in a southwesterly direction, the general flow for the major streams, which include the Catawba River and its tributaries: McDowells Creek, Long Creek, Paw Creek, Sugar Creek and McApline Creek. The Catawba River drains approximately 75% of the County while the remaining 25% is drained by the North and South Forks of Crooked Creek which are tributaries of the Pee Dee Rive 2.3 Groundwater The vast majority of water supply in Mecklenburg County is obtained from surface water sources which is treated and distributed by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utility Department. However, groundwater is utilized to supply some subdivisions, mobile home parks, commercial establishments and industries. Groundwater is reported to be of good-to-excellent quality throughout most of the County. 2.4 Land Use Existing land use in the project area is primarily residential, light commercial, recreational and agricultural. Thirteen (13) major subdivisions and two golf courses (Raintree and Piper Glen) are located within the project area. -3- 3. Existing Wastewater Facilities Existing wastewater facilities include the existing Four Mile Creek Outfall, minor collectors, and the McAlpine Wastewater Treatment Plant which is located approximately one mile south of the project area and which discharges to McAlpine Creek, a tributary of the Catawba River. 4. Need for the Proposed Facilities and Actions The existing Four Mile Creek Outfall is undersized to serve the Four Mile Creek Drainage Basin which is located within the 20 year growth areas of the Cities of Charlotte and Matthews. Currently, during times of peak flows, the existing outfall overflows raw sewage creating health hazards and adverse environmental conditions. Additionally, the existing outfall is located on the north side of Four Mile Creek at an elevation which necessitates aerial crossings to serve current development on the south side of the creek. These aerial crossings impose a substantial threat to the environment should they, at anytime, break. The proposed project will eliminate these aerial crossings in addition to rectifying the overflow situation during times of peak flows. Proposed facilities are sized based on full development in the Four Mile Creek Basin in accordance with current land use plans and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utility Department standard design flows. Peak flows are based on a factor of 2.5 times average flow. Average daily flow from the total service area is projected to be approximately 6.0 MGD. 5. Alternative Analysis An extensive alternative analysis of route selection and pumping station location was performed for the proposed project and is described in a document prepared for CMUD by Hazen and Sawyer, P.C. entitled "Concept Report and Route Selection, Four Mile Creek Parallel Outfall, September, 1991." -4- In addition to a "no-action" alternative, five alternative routes were studied for the proposed outfall as well as consideration given to replacing the existing outfall in its current location. Likewise, since a pumping station is required to service any outfall alternative which is placed at an elevation below the flow line of Four Mile Creek, an alternative analysis was similarly performed for four different pumping station sites. The alternative analysis for route selection included seven alternatives as follows: • No action. • Replace existing outfall in current location. • Parallel existing outfall. • High North Side - generally parallels existing outfall on the north side of Four Mile Creek at a lower elevation than the existing outfall but at an elevation above that of the flow line of Four Mile Creek. • High South Side - an outfall routed on the south side of Four Mile Creek but placed at an elevation above that of the flow line at Four Mile Creek. • Low North - an alternative placing the proposed outfall on the north side of Four Mile Creek at an elevation below that of the flow line of the creek. • Low South - an alternative placing the proposed outfall on the south side of Four Mile Creek at an elevation below that of the flow line of the creek. -5- The above alternatives are illustrated on Figures C1 through C8 entitled "Design Concept and Route Selection". The eight figures show the total route from Providence Road to McAlpine Creek. The alternatives were screened utilizing 10 basic comparison factors. Table 1, "Outfall Screening Matrix-Alternative Routing-Four Mile Creek Outfall", depicts the results of the screening process for the five feasible alternatives. Results of the screening process for each alternative are presented as follows: • No-Action - Reiected - Without the project, discharge of raw sewage through surcharged manholes would continue and increase as the existing outfall deteriorates with age and additional demand is placed on the system. • Replace Existing Outfall in Current Location - Rejected - Existing outfall is built within several subdivisions and passes between homes with as little as 20-feet separation. Construction would have severe negative impact on existing structures. Likewise, this alternative, due to its placement at a relatively high elevation, would not serve many areas of the drainage basin by gravity. • Parallel Existing Outfall - Reiected - Same reasons as replacing existing outfall in-place. • High North Side of Four Mile Creek - Reiected - This route, although generally lower in elevation than the existing outfall, created substantial adverse impact on existing homes and property. Likewise, it would not allow serving the entire drainage basin by gravity. • High South Side of Four Mile Creek - Rejected - Same reasons as those for rejecting High North Route. -6- N 488,000 XS \ X y{24 / ' e x5W7 x Hue / x x sm.7 I x / x 64" MW NORTH UNE / x / s?a7 i 4b x sua 6%T 87/A _ X: 37A1 q` x eae D T ?- x enA X 5=4 !Ya _ Y Sri x X 724 A7A 02A0 X x ?

Anyway, because of your workload at the time, I figured I could provide the usual comments.and not have to worry you. (Alan had given me copies of the old ones.) Now after reading Wildlife's comments, we need to decide whether we need exact areas of losses, on maps, descriptions of wetland types, and mitigation details in this document or is it acceptable to have, them in the 404/401 documents? If we and Wildlife require it here, does it mean that we will have the same opinion when, a 401 review is presented? Please look at the wetland section and discuss it with your staff decide where we want to come down on the issue. Lets discuss at the latter part of this week if possible. B oy?d? J 0 North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission 0 512 N. Salisbury Street, Raleigh, North Carolina 27604-1188, 919-733-3391 Charles R. Fullwood, Executive Director MEMORANDUM TO: Melba McGee, Division of Planning and Assessment Dept. of Environment, Health & Natural Resources FROM: Dennis L. Stewart, Manager Habitat Conservation Program DATE: April 8, 1992 SUBJECT: Four Mile Creek Sewer Outfall and Pump Station Environmental Assessment (EA), Charlotte-Mecklenburg utility Department, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. Project # 458. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) has completed a review of the subject document and biologists on our staff are familiar with habitat values within the project area. Our comments are provided in accordance with certain provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d), Section 201 of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (as amended), and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 and 113-132). The proposed project includes a parallel gravity outfall, elimination of existing aerial creek crossings and construction of a wastewater pumping station and force main to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utility Department's (CMUD) existing McAlpine Creek outfall. The project (with the exception of the pumping station), will occur within the 100 year floodplain of Four Mile Creek in Southern Mecklenburg County and includes construction of a total of 25,100 ft. of gravity and/or force main sewerline. Construction of a 50 ft. wide easement for the project w I impact a total of 2.24 acres of wetlands. New construction easements will have a maximum cleared width of 55 feet and a permanent easement of 30 ft. The force main will have a permanent easement of 20 ft. through 300 ft. of wetlands as it crosses McAlpine Creek. NCWRC has the following comments and/or concerns that should be resolved prior to initiation of project construction: 1. The maximum allowable construction easement width should be decreased from 55 ft. to 50 ft. NCWRC has considerable experience in dealing with project engineers and consultants on water and sewerline projects and believes this request is both warranted and reasonable. Additionally, NCWRC recommends that the 30 ft. permanent easement for the gravity Memo (2) date outfall be decreased to 20 ft. Exception can be made for maintenance access required of water and sewerline appurtenances. 2. The statement found on page 11 of the document that..."No threatened or endangered species are expected to be impacted by the proposed pro ect" is not supported with any agency documentation (i.e., U.S. Fish and Wi?dlife Service, NC)ArRC, Natural Heritage Program). NCWRC has reason to believe that several species of rare, threatened and/or endangered salamanders could potentially inhabit creek drainages within Mecklenburg County. Any environmental assessment should include species documentation for fish and wildlife that are known to occur within the project area. 3. While the document states on page 3 that 2.24 acres of wetlands will be impacted by project construction it does not include a wetlands location map and/or wetlands descriptions. Such information is essential in an environmental assessment and should be included for agency review. 4. Discussion of mitigation for wetland impacts will not be possible until wetland locations and descriptions are provided to this agency. Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this Environmental Assessment. We look forward to working with CMUD and Hazen and Sawyer, consultants to resolve NCWRC concerns. If we can be of additional assistance please advise. DLS/lp cc: Wayne Chapman, District 6 Fisheries Biologist Ken Knight, District 6 Wildlife Biologist Steve A.

The document does not indicate what impact will occur to woodland. Even though this is in_ an urban setting it appears that woodland will be impacted. We would like more information on the affected woodland to include - a. Description of timber types and current conditions. b. Acres of woodland that is to be affected. 2. The contractor should make attempts to salvage merchantable trees for pulpwood and sawtimber that have to be cut to permit all construction activities. 3. Trees outside construction limits should be protected from construction activities to avoid: a. Skinning of tree trunks by machinery. b. Soil compaction and root exposure or injury by heavy equipment. C. Adding layers of fill dirt over the root systems of trees, a practice that impairs root aeration. d. Accidental spilling of petroleum products or other damaging substances over the root systems of trees. DHR:la pc: Warren Boyette - CO File P.O.

Morris Director TO: Ms. Melba McGee, Planning and Assessment FROM: Jeff Bruton P\?? ?- SUBJECT: Project No. 92-0458; Four Mile Creek Sanitary Sewer Outfall and Pump Station The Division of Water Resources (Division) has reviewed the Environmental Assessment (EA) prepared for the Four Mile Creek Sanitary Sewer Outfall And Pump Station, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utility Department. In addressing the loss of wetlands, the Division finds the Mitigative Measures portion of the EA lacking. The Division recommends that the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utility Department do one of the following: 1) Design the interceptor so as to avoid wetland impacts, 2) Design the interceptor so as to minimize wetland impacts and conform to nationwide permit guidelines. 3) If the current design is preferred, the Charlotte- Mecklenburg Utility Department should consult with wildlife agencies and develop an acceptable mitigation plan for the wetland losses. r P.O.

CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA 704/357-3150 t. i Four Mile Creek Sanitary Sewer Outfall and Pumping Station Environmental Assessment 1. Proposed Facilities and Actions, Funding Sources The proposed project includes a parallel gravity outfall, elimination of existing aerial creek crossings, wastewater pumping station and a force main to the Charlotte- Mecklenburg Utility Department's (CMUD) existing McAlpine Creek Outfall. The project will provide wastewater collection for the Four Mile Creek Basin service area of which approximately eleven percent is located within the City of Matthews, twenty-six percent located within the City of Charlotte and sixty-three percent in unincorporated areas of Mecklenburg County. The proposed project service areas are located entirely within the 20 year growth area of the City of Charlotte and the City of Matthews. The proposed project consists of approximately 24,500 L.F. of 30"-36" gravity outfall running along Four Mile Creek, lowering of 7 existing aerial crossings, a 6 MGD average daily flow pumping station and a 24" force main. The proposed outfall generally parallels the existing Four Mile Creek Outfall at an elevation below the flow line of Four Mile Creek. Project limits are between the confluence of Four Mile Creek and McAlpine Creek and Providence Road. Wastewater will be transported to the proposed pumping station via the proposed outfall and discharged through approximately 600 L.F. of 24" force main to the existing 54" McAlpine Outfall where it will be conveyed to the existing McAlpine Wastewater Treatment Plant for treatment. The proposed project will eliminate overflows at manholes on the existing Four Mile Creek Outfall during high flow periods as well as provide for future wastewater flows from currently undeveloped land in the Four Mile Creek Basin. The project will be constructed in one phase. A map showing the proposed project is presented in Figure 1. The cost of the project is estimated to be approximately six million dollars and will be obtained from City of Charlotte funds. -1- } , '`_.W ?-':?'t'' (??((?? i?L1??.. \ TI' II ,I?? '•t1 1,%\??

Existing Environment 2.1 Topography and Soils The City of Charlotte is located in the southern portion of Mecklenburg County which lies entirely within the southern physiographic region. It is characterized by broad, gently rolling interstream areas and by steeper slopes along the drainage ways. Differences in elevation range from 50 to 100 feet from the highest to the lowest points. Elevations in the County range from 540 feet above sea level in Pineville to a high point of 830 feet in Cornelius. Mecklenburg County is composed of soils from eight soil associations: Cecil, Cecil-Urban Land, Iredell-Mecklenburg, Wilkes-Enon, Enon-Helena-Vance, Pacolet- Cecil, Monacan and Georgeville-Goldston-Lignum. A soil association consists of a landscape having a distinctive proportional pattern of soils. Soils in the Four Mile Creek Basin are located within the Cecil, Iredell-Mecklenburg and Wilkes-Enon soil associations. These three soil associations consist of gently sloping to steep with moderately well drained to well drained soils. All three classifications have a predominately clayey subsoil. The Cecil was formed in residuum from acid igneous and metamorphic rock; the Iredell-Mecklenburg from diorite, gabbro, and other rock high in ferromagnesian minerals; and the Wilkes-Enon from diorite, hornblende schist, and other basic rock, or from mixed acidic and basic rock. The project is located in the floodway and floodway fringe of Four Mile Creek in Southern Mecklenburg County. The area's predominate soil Type II Monacan, a nearly level, somewhat poorly drained soil formed by recent alluvium deposits on the floodplain. The surface layer is brownish loam, fine sandy loam or sandy loam. The subsoil is reddish loam in the upper part and brownish or grayish silty clay loam, fine sandy loam, sandy clay loam, and sandy clay in the lower part. This soil classification is further characterized by low organic matter in the surface layer, moderate permeability, low shrink-swell potential and slow surface runoff. The available water capacity is high. The soil is strongly acid to neutral. Depth to bedrock is typically more than 60 inches. Fill has been added in some areas. -2- F3 The seasonal water table is .5 to 2 feet in winter and spring. Some areas adjacent to the pipeline route are inundated with standing water apparently held in place by logs and debris resulting from Hurricane Hugo which have blocked the flow of Four Mile Creek in several places. Approximately 2.24 acres of wetlands (based upon a 50' wide construction easement) are expected to be involved in the project. This acreage includes wetlands along the outfall as well as along the force main from the pumping station as it crosses McAlpine Creek to tie to the existing 54" McAlpine Creek Outfall. 2.2 Surface Waters In general, the land in the County slopes in a southwesterly direction, the general flow for the major streams, which include the Catawba River and its tributaries: McDowells Creek, Long Creek, Paw Creek, Sugar Creek and McApline Creek. The Catawba River drains approximately 75% of the County while the remaining 25% is drained by the North and South Forks of Crooked Creek which are tributaries of the Pee Dee River. 2.3 Groundwater The vast majority of water supply in Mecklenburg County is obtained from surface water sources which is treated and distributed by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utility Department. However, groundwater is utilized to supply some subdivisions, mobile home parks, commercial establishments and industries. Groundwater is reported to be of good-to-excellent quality throughout most of the County. 2.4 Land Use Existing land use in the project area is primarily residential, light commercial, recreational and agricultural. Thirteen (13) major subdivisions and two golf courses (Raintree and Piper Glen) are located within the project area. -3- i 3. Existing Wastewater Facilities Existing wastewater facilities include the existing Four Mile Creek Outfall, minor collectors, and the McAlpine Wastewater Treatment Plant which is located approximately one mile south of the project area and which discharges to McAlpine Creek, a tributary of the Catawba River. 4. Need for the Proposed Facilities and Actions The existing Four Mile Creek Outfall is undersized to serve the Four Mile Creek Drainage Basin which is located within the 20 year growth areas of the Cities of Charlotte and Matthews. Currently, during times of peak flows, the existing outfall overflows raw sewage creating health hazards and adverse environmental conditions. Additionally, the existing outfall is located on the north side of Four Mile Creek at an elevation which necessitates aerial crossings to serve current development on the south side of the creek. These aerial crossings impose a substantial threat to the environment should they, at anytime, break. The proposed project will eliminate these aerial crossings in addition to rectifying the overflow situation during times of peak flows. Proposed facilities are sized based on full development in the Four Mile Creek Basin in accordance with current land use plans and Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utility Department standard design flows. Peak flows are based on a factor of 2.5 times average flow. Average daily flow from the total service area is projected to be approximately 6.0 MGD. 5. Alternative Analysis An extensive alternative analysis of route selection and pumping station location was performed for the proposed project and is described in a document prepared for CMUD by Hazen and Sawyer, P.C. entitled "Concept Report and Route Selection, Four Mile Creek Parallel Outfall, September, 1991." -4- V } In addition to a "no-action" alternative, five alternative routes were studied for the proposed outfall as well as consideration given to replacing the existing outfall in its current location. Likewise, since a pumping station is required to service any outfall alternative which is placed at an elevation below the flow line of Four Mile Creek, an alternative analysis was similarly performed for four different pumping station sites. The alternative analysis for route selection included seven alternatives as follows: • No action. • Replace existing outfall in current location. • Parallel existing outfall. • High North Side - generally parallels existing outfall on the north. side of Four Mile Creek at a lower elevation than the existing outfall but at an elevation above that of the flow line of Four Mile Creek. • High South Side - an outfall routed on the south side of Four Mile Creek but placed at an elevation above that of the flow line at Four Mile Creek. • Low North - an alternative placing the proposed outfall on the north side of Four Mile Creek at an elevation below that of the flow line of the creek. • Low South - an alternative placing the proposed outfall on the south side of Four Mile Creek at an elevation below that of the flow line of the creek. -5- I The above alternatives are illustrated on Figures C1 through C8 entitled "Design Concept and Route Selection". The eight figures show the total route from Providence Road (Figure C8) to McAlpine Creek (Figure 1). The alternatives were screened utilizing 10 basic comparison factors. Table 1, "Outfall Screening Matrix-Alternative Routing-Four Mile Creek Outfall", depicts the results of the screening process for the five feasible alternatives. Results of the screening process for each alternative are presented as follows: • No-Action - Rejected - Without the project, discharge of raw sewage through surcharged manholes would continue and increase as the existing outfall deteriorates with age and additional demand is placed on the system. • Replace Existing Outfall in Current Location - Reiected - Existing outfall is built within several subdivisions and passes between homes with as little as 20-feet separation. Construction would have severe negative impact on existing structures. Likewise, this alternative, due to its placement at a relatively high elevation, would not serve many areas of the drainage basin by gravity. • Parallel Existing Outfall - Reiected - Same reasons as replacing existing outfall in-place. • High North Side of Four Mile Creek - Reiected - This route, although generally lower in elevation than the existing outfall, created substantial adverse impact on existing homes and property. Likewise, it would not allow serving the entire drainage basin by gravity. • High South Side of Four Mile Creek - Reiected - Same reasons as those for rejecting High North Route. -6- r a ??

The route has virtually no impact on existing structures and infrastructure. Its impact on wetlands is minimal (less than 2 acres) and it allows the removal of existing aerial creek crossings. Construction activities will also have minimal adverse environmental impact (noise, air pollution, etc.). The selected alternative, as described above, is as illustrated in Figures C1 through C8, and was developed after preliminary field surveys were accomplished. The final selected route offers minimal adverse impact on wetlands, homes and golf courses. The alternative analysis for the pumping station considered four alternate sites. These sites are illustrated on Figure C1. Six factors were utilized in comparing these alternative sites. Table 2, "Pumping Station Location With Selected Outfall - Screening Matrix - Four Mile Creek Parallel Outfall", depicts the results of the screening process. Pumping Station Site B was recommended as a result of the screening process. Likewise, its location does not impact wetlands or the 100-year flood event. Additionally, proposed design will minimize noise and odor impacts. The force main from the pumping station will temporarily impact approximately 0.34 acres of wetlands as it crosses McAlpine Creek to tie to the existing 54" McAlpine Creek Outfall. 6. Environmental Consequences, Mitiqation Measures The environmental impacts of the proposed project and measures to mitigate those impacts were evaluated for different categories of impacts as discussed in the following sections. -7- t • TABLE 2 PUMPING STATION LOCATION WITH SELECTED OUTFALL SCREENING MATRIX FOUR MILE CREEK PARALLEL OUTFALL ALTERNATIVE PUMPING STATION LOCATIONS Weighting Comparison Factor Factors A B C D 8 Cost 1 (8)* 3 (24)* 2 (16)* 4 (32)* 8 Impact on Homes 4 (32) 1 (8) 3 (24) 1 (8) 6 Access 2 (12) 4 (24) 1 (6) 3 (18) 7 Public Concern 4 (28) 1 (7) 3 (21) 2 (14) 6 Environmental Impact 1 (6) 1 (6) 1 (6) 1 (6) 5 Site Acquisition 4 (20) 1 (5) 3 (15) 2 (10) TOTALS 106 74+ 88 88 RANKING 3 1 2 2 *Weighting factor times ranking. +Site location with lowest point total is recommended alternative. 6.1 Changes in Land Use Changes in land use are required for construction of the proposed facilities, including the outfall, pumping station, force main and lowering of existing aerial crossings. The pump station site will be cleared and graded to allow its construction. A construction easement of 55 feet and a permanent easement of 30 feet will be provided for the gravity outfall. Existing easements will be utilized for lowering existing aerial crossings below grade. The force main will have a permanent easement of 20 feet through approximately 300 feet of wetlands as it crosses McAlpine Creek. 6.2 Wetlands No wetlands are located on the site of the proposed pumping station. Based on National Wetlands Inventory maps prepared by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and confirmed by a field survey by the Army Corps of Engineers, approximately 2.24 acres of wetlands will be disturbed on a short-term basis by the proposed outfall and force main construction. Disturbance will be minimized by carefully controlled construction techniques. The areas will be restored to existing grade after construction and should return to their natural state within a relatively short time period. Measures to mitigate impacts on wetlands from proposed sewer line construction are discussed hereafter. 6.3 Prime or Unique Agricultural Lands The proposed project (with the exception of the pumping station) is located within the 100-year flood limits of Four Mile Creek, in areas that are, for the most part, set aside for greenways. Therefore, there will be no significant or adverse effect on prime or unique agricultural lands. Access to the pumping station will be along planned, but unplatted, subdivision streets. Agricultural land within the service area of the proposed outfall will gradually be converted to urban uses as an indirect result of the project. However, these areas -s- have been identified for urban development in current land use plans and zoning ordinances. 6.4 Public Lands, Scenic and Recreational Areas Some land within the project area has been designated as part of a local greenway; the location of the outfall will not affect this use. In fact, the project will improve these areas by eliminating sewage overflows. The outfall will cross some of the common recreational areas of the adjoining subdivisions which generally consist of poorly maintained jogging paths in floodway and wetland areas. These areas will be returned to existing conditions and operation of the outfall will not adversely impact use of the area. The outfall also crosses two private golf courses, Raintree and Piper Glen. The outfall location has been reviewed with input from the course officials to minimize disruption during construction. All land disturbed by the project will be returned to existing condition. 6.5 Areas of Archaeological or Historic Value No areas of archaeological or historic value within the project area are listed in the National Register of Historic Places, Catalog of National Historic Landmarks or Historic Properties in Charlotte-Mecklenburg (see references). 6.6 Air Quality and Noise Levels The proposed project will have no significant long-term impact on air quality or noise levels. Construction activities associated with the proposed project will result in unavoidable noise and air pollution impacts, including particulates and other contaminants from earthwork operations, clearing and construction equipment emissions. These impacts should be localized and short-term during construction and can be minimized by limiting Construction to normal daytime working hours, by -9- A a s watering to control dust, by proper maintenance of construction equipment, and by use of timber harvesting and chipping of brush and tree branches. Submersible pumps will be utilized to minimize long-term pump station noise during operation. Odor control facilities will be incorporated into the pumping station design if deemed necessary. 6.7 Groundwater Quality Groundwater quality will be either unaffected or improved by the sewer line construction. The outfall will be constructed to meet or exceed all exfiltration standards and will take the load off the existing outfall which is now subject to surcharge and overflow of raw sewage. 6.8 Water Supplies and Surface Water Quality The proposed project will not impact water supplies or surface water quality except for minor short-term impacts from erosion and sedimentation during construction. Short-term impacts on surface waters will be minimized by maintenance of effective erosion and sedimentation control procedures pursuant to the requirements of the North Carolina Sedimentation Pollution Control Act. Increased surface runoff and soil erosion will result from additional urban development of the service area and from construction activity associated with this development. This will be mitigated by strict enforcement of existing City and County regulations for design and maintenance of storm drainage systems, floodplain management, and soil and erosion control. 6.9 Shellfish, Fish, and Wildlife and Their Habitats Impacts to shellfish, fish, and wildlife would be short-term relative to clearing of easement where required. A width of 55 feet would be cleared for new easement, with a permanent easement width of 30 feet. Short-term impacts would also occur at stream crossings. Erosion and sedimentation control measures will be applied to i ,I minimize adverse impacts. No threatened or endangered species are expected to be adversely affected by the proposed project. The impact on fish habitat will be beneficial for Four Mile Creek because of the elimination of overflows from manholes during peak flow conditions. Any negative impacts from urban development can be mitigated by effective management of stormwater in areas to be developed. The impact of siltation occurring from construction activities will be minimized by effective soil and erosion control measures. 6.10 Introduction of Toxic Substances No toxic substances are expected to be introduced into the environment as a result of the proposed project. 6.11 Eutrophication of Receiving Waters. The proposed project will not involve any discharge to surface waters; therefore, it will have no effect on eutrophication of receiving waters. 7. Mitigative Measures Mitigative measures to minimize adverse effects on the environment for the proposed project are summarized as follows: 7.1 During Construction Activity • Removal of natural vegetation along easements will be minimized by using already cleared areas where possible. New easements will have a maximum cleared width of 55 feet, with a permanent easement width of 30 feet. • Soil erosion and sediment will be limited by design and enforcement of effective erosion and sediment control measures. - 11 - • . . r • Construction noise, vehicle emissions and dust will be minimized by limiting construction to normal daytime working hours, by proper maintenance of construction equipment, and by watering to control dust. 7.2 Long-term Effects • No significant long-term adverse effects are expected for the proposed project. • Long-term impacts on wetlands for outfall and force main construction will be mitigated by restoration of disturbed areas to original grade. Regulations and permits to be adhered to during construction include: • Mecklenburg County sedimentation and erosion control regulations, • 404 permit requirements related to for dredging and filling in wetlands, • Mecklenburg County Floodway regulations, and, • Mecklenburg County air quality regulations. -12- a ? ? t REFERENCES Catalog of National Historic Landmarks, National Park Service, History Division, 1987.

The purpose of this letter is to define those changes in the environmental assessment that we will make in response.to the comments. If your determination that our response is adequate, we will then incorporate these changes into the environmental assessment and resubmit it for your final review. Response to Comments (numbered in order of agencies' comments) North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission 1. Page -8, Paragraph 6.1 (Changes in Land Use) will be revised to reflect a permanent easement of 25 feet with the construction easement varying from 40-55 feet. Easements in wetlands will be restricted to 40 feet in accordance with the Nationwide Permit for Utility Construction. These easement widths are in accordance with CMUD standards, with construction easements varying due to the depth of cut for installation of the outfall. 2. Our response to NCWRC comment relative to rare or endangered species of salamanders is as follows: "Impacts to shellfish, fish, and wildlife would be short-term relative to clearing the easement and laying the proposed outfall line. The permanent easement of 25 feet would be cleared completely with an additional 15 to 30 foot construction easement cleared as necessary. Both the permanent and construction easement widths are in accordance with CMUD standards with the New York, NY - Armonk, NY • Upper Saddle River, NJ - Raleigh, NC - Charlotte, NC - Richmond, VA - Hollywood, FL - Boca Raton, FL - Fort Pierce, FL - Jupiter, FL - Miami, FL - Bogota, D.E. Colombia HAZENAND SAWYER Mr. Boyd DeVane September 8, 1992 Page 2 construction easement varying due to different trench depths required for construction of the outfall. Easements through wetlands will be held to a maximum of 40 feet in accordance with Section 12 of the Nationwide Permit for Utility Lines. All work will be governed and conducted in accordance with that permit. Short-term impacts related to construction of the proposed outfall may also be expected at stream crossings. Erosion and sedimentation control measures will be applied to minimize adverse impacts due to construction. No threatened or endangered species are expected to be permanently, adversely affected by the proposed project. Although short-term and local migration of some species (not necessarily threatened or endangered) may occur, the overall affect of the project will be positive as overflows of raw sewage into the Four Mile Creek during times of heavy rainfall will be eliminated." Although the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission has indicated they have reason to believe that several species of rare, threatened, and/or endangered salamanders could potentially inhabit creek drainages within Mecklenburg County, no specific documentation of these species in the Four Mile Creek Basin has been presented. Based on this lack of documentation, we do not feel a field reconnaissance of the area is warranted. 3. Enclosed are maps which will be incorporated into the environmental assessment depicting the wetland areas (as defined by the COE) through which the outfall will pass. 4. A discussion of mitigative measures is presented on page 11 and 12 of the original submittal. It is our opinion that measures beyond those presented are not required under the Nationwide Permit for Utility Construction. Division of Forest Resources The following paragraph will be inserted in the document which addresses issues raised by this agency. Impact on Woodlands The majority of woodlands affected by the project consist of various types of hardwoods including'sycamore, maple, pine oak, sweet gum, poplar, and other broad leaf deciduous varieties. All trees within the 25 foot permanent easement will be removed. However, a substantial percentage of these trees are already dead or dying due to backwater caused by log-jams created by Hurricane Hugo. This cleared area represents approximately 14 acres in area. It may be HAZEN AND SAWYER Mr. Boyd DeVane September 8, 1992 Page 3 necessary to remove some (but not all) trees within an additional area known as the construction easement. Such removal will be minimized and performed only where necessary. The total additional area defined by the construction easement is approximately 13 acres of which only 20% to 25% thereof will be affected by construction. The contract documents (specifications) will address disposal of merchantable trees and will likewise set forth "reasonable care" and protection provisions for timber outside the construction area. Division of Water Resources 1. In order to serve the entire basin, it is necessary to place the outfall as close as possible to the creek. While every effort was made to avoid wetlands, it was not possible to completely circumvent them. 2. An extensive "Alternative Analysis" was performed which is summarized in the original environmental assessment. Approximately 2.24 acres of wetlands are impacted over a distance in excess of 5 miles. It was, as is illustrated by the last sentence, the objective to minimize wetland impacts and conform to the Nationwide Permit guidelines. 3. In that the construction area will be returned to its original grade (in accordance with the Nationwide Permit requirements), there should be no permanent wetland losses to mitigate. Again, mitigative measures to be taken during, and after, construction are set forth on Pages 11 and 12 of the original document. Summarizing, all construction will be accomplished under the guidelines of the Nationwide Permit for Utility Construction. We appreciate your assistance in finalizing the referenced environmental assessment. Very truly yours, HAZEN AND SAWYER, P.C. Ralph L. Waters, P.E.
