of the U.S.
E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Due to the location of the on site streams and wetlands, opportunities to completely avoid these areas were limited. Impacts to site surface waters
associated with the proposed development were limited through site selection location, design, location/orientation of the proposed lots and access
routes. Permanent impacts have been limited to the single required road crossing which has been narrowed to the maximum to the extent practicable
by the use of large retaining walls, 2:1 slopes where possible, and minimal sidewalk berths.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques
Construction techniques will implement approved erosion control methods to avoid/minimize impacts to onsite/adjacent offsite receiving conveyances.
The road crossing width has been minimized by the use of large retaining walls to reduce culvert length. Sidewalks have been pulled into further
reduce width. Rip rap aprons on either side of the culvert are a requirement of the Town of Huntersville - rip rap will be installed at existing bed
elevations as to not contribute to any additional loss -to -waters of the U.S.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?
r Yes r No

Subject: Jurisdictional Determination Request and Pre-Construction Notification for NWP
#29 for the Northbrook site, Huntersville, Mecklenburg County, NC.
Ms. Higgins and Messrs. Shaeffer, Johnson, and Hamstead,
Enclosed is a Jurisdictional Determination and Pre-Construction Notification for Nationwide
Permit # 29 for the approximate 103.48 -acre site known as the Northbrook site located southeast
of the intersection of Sam Furr Road and Old Statesville Road in Huntersville, NC. The site is a
proposed residential development and consists of six streams, one wetland, and one open water
pond. Please refer to the Jurisdictional Determination Request for information on onsite surface
waters.
Overall impacts to site surface waters associated with the proposed development were limited
through site selection location, design, location/orientation of the proposed lots and access
routes. Permanent impacts have been limited to the single required road crossing (Stream E)
which has been narrowed to the maximum to the extent practicable by the use of large retaining
walls, 2:1 slopes where possible, and minimal sidewalk berths. The total proposed permanent
impacts contributing to a loss-of waters of the U.S. are limited to 65 linear feet of perennial
stream (Stream E). Additional proposed impacts include 68 linear feet of impact for stabilizing

2
rip rap placed at existing streambed elevations and 26 linear feet of temporary impact for a
sanitary sewer installation. No permanent impacts to any of the onsite wetlands are proposed.
Efforts of impact minimization were implemented during the design to preserve the existing
channel hydrology and limit adverse effects to existing, onsite natural habitat. The road crossing
width has been minimized by the use of large retaining walls to reduce culvert length. Rip rap
aprons on both sides of the culvert are a requirement of the Town of Huntersville. The applicant
has demonstrated substantial avoidance and minimization efforts in which 96% of the 4,150
linear feet of stream channel and 100 % of the 0.05 acres of wetlands onsite will be avoided on
the project.
Due to the limited impacts associated with this project, no compensatory mitigation is proposed.
Also enclosed is a copy of our Threatened/Endangered Species Evaluation for the site. No listed
species were identified within the project area and we believe that there will be no effect on
listed species or their critical habitat as designated under Section 7 of the Endangered Species
Act. Please refer to the Threatened and Endangered Species Evaluation Section for additional
details on the terrestrial species evaluation. Thank you for your consideration and please contact
me if you have any questions, [phone] or email at [e-mail].
Sincerely,
Daniel Kuefler Len Rindner, PWS

4h. Comments:
5. Complete if Using a Permittee Responsible Mitigation Plan
5a. If using a permittee responsible mitigation plan, provide a description of the proposed mitigation plan.
Due to the location of the on site streams and wetlands, opportunities to completely avoid these areas were limited. Impacts to site surface waters
associated with the proposed development were limited through site selection location, design, location/orientation of the proposed lots and access
routes. Permanent impacts have been limited to the single required road crossing which has been narrowed to the maximum to the extent practicable
by the use of large retaining walls, 2:1 slopes where possible, and minimal sidewalk berths.
Construction techniques will implement approved erosion control methods to avoid/minimize impacts to onsite/adjacent offsite receiving conveyances.
The road crossing width has been minimized by the use of large retaining walls to reduce culvert length. Sidewalks have been pulled into further
reduce width. Rip rap aprons on either side of the culvert are a requirement of the Town of Huntersville - rip rap will be installed at existing bed
elevations as to not contribute to any additional loss-to-waters of the U.S.

F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One)
I am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminary JD for the property identified herein.
A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) provides an indication that there may
be “waters of the United States” or “navigable waters of the United States”on a property.
PJDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. For the purposes of permitting, all
waters and wetlands on the property will be treated as if they are jurisdictional “waters of
the United States”. PJDs cannot be appealed (33 C.F.R. 331.2); however, a PJD is
“preliminary” in the sense that an approved JD can be requested at any time. PJDs do
not expire.
I am requesting that the Corps provide an approved JD for the property identified herein.
An Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) is a determination that
jurisdictional “waters of the United States” or “navigable waters of the United
States” are either present or absent on a site. An approved JD identifies the limits of
waters on a site determined to be jurisdictional under the Clean Water Act and/or
Rivers and Harbors Act. Approved JDs are sufficient as the basis for permit
decisions. AJDs are appealable (33 C.F.R. 331.2). The results of the AJD will be
posted on the Corps website. A landowner, permit applicant, or other “affected
party” (33 C.F.R. 331.2) who receives an AJD may rely upon the AJD for five years
(subject to certain limited exceptions explained in Regulatory Guidance Letter 05-
02).
I am unclear as to which JD I would like to request and require additional information
to inform my decision.
G. ALL REQUESTS
Map of Property or Project Area. This Map must clearly depict the boundaries of the
review area.
Size of Property or Review Area acres.
The property boundary (or review area boundary) is clearly physically marked on the site.

open water, relatively permanent water, pond, etc. Please include the acreage or linear
length of each of these features as appropriate.
Isolated waters, waters that lack a significant nexus to navigable waters, or non-
jurisdictional upland features should be identified as Non-Jurisdictional. Please
include a justification in the label regarding why the feature is non-jurisdictional (i.e.
“Isolated”, “No Significant Nexus”, or “Upland Feature”). Please include the acreage
or linear length of these features as appropriate.
For Preliminary Jurisdictional Determinations:
Wetland and non-wetland features should not be identified as Jurisdictional, 404,
Waters of the United States, or anything that implies jurisdiction. These features can be
identified as Potential Waters of the United States, Potential Non-wetland Waters of
the United States, wetland, stream, open water, etc. Please include the acreage and
linear length of these features as appropriate.

1) The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in
the review area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option
to request and obtain an approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an
informed decision after having discussed the various types of JDs and their
characteristics and circumstances when they may be appropriate.
2) In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a
Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring “pre-
construction notification” (PCN), or requests verification for a non-reporting NWP or
other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an AJD for the
activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware that: (1) the permit applicant has
elected to seek a permit authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an
official determination of jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the
option to request an AJD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit
authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an AJD could possibly result
in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) the
applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting the terms
and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4) the applicant can
accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with all the terms and
conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has
determined to be necessary; (5) undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject
permit authorization without requesting an AJD constitutes the applicant’s acceptance
of the use of the PJD; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered
individual permit)or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit
authorization based on a PJD constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the
review area affected in any way by that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and
waives any challenge to such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance
or enforcement action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7)
whether the applicant elects to use either an AJD or a PJD, the JD will be processed
as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms
and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively
appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an administrative appeal, it
becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographic
jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official
delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will
provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds
that there “may be” waters of the U.S. and/or that there “may be”navigable waters of
the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review
area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following
information:

SPECIES DESCRIPTIONS:
Three plant species with federal protection were included in the survey efforts:
Schweinitz’s Sunflower (Helianthus schweinitzii), listed as Federally Endangered,
is typically found in open habitats which historically have been maintained by
wildfires and grazing bison and elk herds. Now most occurrences are limited to
roadsides, woodland and field edges, and utility rights-of-way (ROW).
Smooth Coneflower (Echinacea laevigata), listed as Federally Endangered, is
typically found in open woods, cedar barrens, roadsides, clear cuts, dry
limestone bluffs and power line rights-of-way, requiring abundant sunlight and
little competition from other plant species.
Michaux’s Sumac (Rhus michauxii), listed as Federally Endangered, requires
habitat of sandy forests and woodland edges. This species requires periodic fire
as a part of its ecology.
A total of four animal species with federal protection are listed as potentially occurring in
Mecklenburg County:
Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), protected by the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act, typically inhabits forested areas near large bodies of open water
such as lakes, marshes, seacoasts and rivers, where there are suitable fish
populations and tall trees for nesting and roosting.
Carolina Heelsplitter (Lasmigona decorata), listed as Federally Endangered, is
restricted to cool, clean, well-oxygenated water. Stable, silt- free stream beds
are required for this species. Typically stable areas occur where the stream
banks are well-vegetated with trees and shrubs.
Northern Long-eared Bat (Myotis septentrionalis), listed as Federally Threatened.
During summer, northern long-eared bats roost singly or in colonies underneath
bark, in cavities, or in crevices of both live and dead trees. Males and non-
reproductive females may also roost in cooler places, like caves and mines. It
has also been found, rarely, roosting in structures like barns and sheds. Northern
long-eared bats spend winter hibernating in caves and mines, called hibernacula.
Rusty-patched Bumble Bee (Bombus affinis), listed as Federally Endangered,
live in colonies that include a single queen and female workers. Rusty-patched
Bumble Bees historically occupied grasslands and tallgrass prairies. Bumble
bees need areas that provide nectar and pollen from flowers, nesting sites
(underground and abandoned rodent cavities or clumps of grasses), and
overwintering sites for hibernating queens (undisturbed soil).

RESULTS:
The site is covered with expansive open fields and pastures; successional woods
on slopes and stream corridors; a small horse farm operation with barn,
paddocks, enclosures and stock pond; and numerous fencerows. There is an
overhead power line that parallels the road corridor along Sam Furr Road.
The horse farm in the southwestern portion of the site is mostly covered with
segmented pasture ground dominated by Fescue Grass (Festuca sp.), and
common pasture weeds such as Pigweed (Chenopodium album), Spiny
Amaranth (Amaranthus spinosus), and Horseweed (Erigeron canadensis). The
entire area is heavily grazed by horses.
The open water pond has a narrow transitional wetland edge habitat dominated
by typical wetland vegetation including Sedges (Carex spp., Cyperus spp.,
Scirpus spp.), Rushes (Juncus spp.), and Cattails (Typha latifolia).
Just north of the horse farm, the adjacent uplands are covered with expansive,
mixed Fescue, Orchard Grass (Dactylis sp.), and other warm season grass
hayfields. These areas appear to be utilized as pasture also.
The northwestern section of the property has a large corn field that is currently
planted with a winter annual cover crop of Rye (Lolium sp.).
The northwestern and southwestern portion of the site is covered by a mixed
pine and hardwood forest on slopes and drainages, and in the riparian corridor of
a perennial, northeast flowing tributary to Ramah Creek. The forest is composed
of Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda) with successional hardwoods mixed within the
canopy and subcanopy, in the uplands, and grades into a hardwood dominated
forest on the lower slopes and drainages. Some of the largest trees are over 2 ft.
in diameter, with the average diameter at breast height (DBH) at 12”. Canopy
trees include Loblolly Pine (Pinus taeda), Shortleaf Pine (P. echinata), Virginia
Pine (P. virginiana), White Oak (Quercus alba), Black Oak (Q. velutina),
Southern Red Oak (Q. falcata), Northern Red Oak (Q. rubra), Willow Oak (Q.
phellos), Post Oak (Q. stellata), Mockernut Hickory (C. tomentosa), Pignut
Hickory (C. glabra), Shagbark Hickory (Carya ovata), Sweetgum (Liquidambar
styraciflua), Yellow Poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), Cottonwood (Populus
deltoides), and Sycamore (Platanus occidentalis). The subcanopy contains
Sourwood (Oxydendrum arboreum), Umbrella Tree (Magnolia tripetela),
American Beech (Fagus grandifolius), Ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana), American
Holly (Ilex opaca), Red Maple (Acer rubrum), Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus
virginiana), Flowering Dogwood (Cornus florida), Hackberry (Celtis laevigata),
Redbud (Cercis canadensis), Red Mulberry (Morus rubra), Black Gum (Nyssa
sylvatica), Winged Elm (Ulmus alata), and Black Cherry (Prunus serotina). The
shrub layer includes Spicebush (Lindera benzoin), Blueberry (Vaccinium sp.),
Autumn Olive (Elaeagnus umbellata), Paw Paw (Asimina triloba) and Chinese
Northbrook - Threatened / Endangered / Protected Species Evaluation
6666
Privet (Ligustrum sinense). Vines present are Japanese Honeysuckle (Lonicera
japonica), Trumpet Creeper (Campsis radicans), Virginia Creeper
(Parthenocissus quinquefolia), Muscadine (Vitis rotundifolia), and Poison Ivy
(Toxicodendron radicans). The herb layer is sparse on the drier uplands and
slopes, becoming more dense on the lower slopes and drainages, and includes
Christmas Fern (Polystichum acrostichoides), Crane-fly Orchid (Tipularia
discolor), Spotted Wintergreen (Chimaphila maculata), Dayflower (Commelina
sp.), Grapefern (Botrychium sp.), River Oats (Chasmanthium latifolium), and
Japanese Stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum).
The disturbed, open, roadside along Sam Furr Road, and transitional open edges
are dominated by planted Fescue (Festuca sp.) with mixed shrubs, vines and
herbs that typically occur in this habitat. Woody species present are small tree
saplings of Pines, Sweet-gum and Tulip Poplar, and shrubs of Blackberry (Rubus
sp.), Russian Olive, Chinese Privet, Smooth Sumac (Rhus glabra), and
Groundsel Tree (Baccharis halimifolia). Herbs present are Johnson Grass
(Sorghum halepense), Plume Grass (Erianthus contortus), Sericea Lespedeza
(Lespedeza cuneata), Pokeweed (Phytolacca americana), Rabbit Tobacco
(Gnapthalium obtusifolium), Tickseed (Coreopsis major), Ragweed (Ambrosia
artemisiifolia), Goldenrod (Solidago sp.), Beggars Ticks (Desmodium sp.), and
Thoroughwort (Eupatorium sp.).
Threatened & Endangered/Protected Species Results
All potential habitats for Schweinitz’s Sunflower, Michaux’s Sumac and
Smooth Coneflower along the roadsides, transitional areas and woods
edges were examined and none of these species were present.
No habitat exists on the site for Bald Eagles, and there were no sightings
nor were any nesting sites observed.
The on-site streams do not have the habitat characteristics required to
support populations of the Carolina Heelsplitter. Based on existing
documentation, Carolina Heelsplitter populations have not been previously
identified within this basin. No individuals were observed during the survey
nor would any be expected on-site.
Comparing this site location to the USFWS Asheville office’s website
(http://www.fws.gov/asheville/htmls/project_review/NLEB_in_WNC.html) it
appears that the site meets the “exempt” criteria which requires no further
action under section 7 of the Endangered Species Act for the Northern
Long-eared Bat.

(https://www.fws.gov/midwest/endangered/insects/rpbb/rpbbmap.html)
Mecklenburg County is in it’s Historic Range, and as such, Section 7
consultation is not needed. WEPG concludes that Rusty-patched Bumble
Bee is not present.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Based on the site investigation and the review of available data, WEPG did not
identify any protected species occurring on the subject property. No further
investigation of the presence of protected species on this site is recommended at
this time.
