Re: General 401 WQC-NWP#26 for the McAlpines, Charlotte, Mecklenburg County
Dear John:
On behalf of Mr. Daniel S. Levine of Levine Properties, I am requesting a 401
Water Quality Certification-NWP #26 to impact ±0.15 Acres of headwaters to deve-
lop this commercial/office site in southeast Charlotte. This site is near the
intersection of Monroe Road, the CSX Railroad, and McAlpine Creek. The McAlpine
Creek Greenway buffers the development site from McAlpine Creek.
The majority of the site is an upland ridge as depicted by the topographic maps.
A large portion of the site graded and is maintained as open field. The soils on
the site are Mecklenburg fine sandy loam (MeB) and Monacan Soils (Mo) in the Mc-
Alpine Creek floodplain. Although the site is near McAlpine Creek (channeli.zed),
jurisdictional waters are limited on this site to a deeply incised bank to bank
tributary and to portions of former sediment basins that have developed small wet-
land areas. All areas in the proximity to McAlpine Creek with hydrophytic vegeta-
tion were carefully evaluated for soil and hydrological conditions that may have
qualified the areas as jurisdictional wetlands. No wetland areas adjacent to Mc-
Alpine Creek were identified on the project site. The attached map does indicate
a wetland slough that is potentially adjacent however it is not in the develop-
ment area. The developer will require strict adherence to an approved Sediment and
Erosion Control Plan to protect this wetland area from the contractors.
I have informend my client that an application to the NC Division of Environmental
Management will be required if the development area changes and impacts of 1/3
Acre or greater to jurisdictional waters are necessary. Also, I have made my client
aware that impacts to wetlands adjacent to McAlpine Creek are not eligible for
this Nationwide Permit and would be subject to the Individual Permit Process.
Please let me know if you have any questions or require additional information.
Thank you.

Re: Nationwide Permit #26 @ The McAlpines, Charlotte, Mecklenburg County
Dear Steve,
On behalf of Mr. Daniel S. Levine of Levine Properties, I am requesting your con-
firmation of my findings and eligibility to utilize NWP #26 to fill ±0.15 Acres
of headwaters to develop this commercial/office site in southeast Charlotte. This
project site is near the intersection of Monroe Road, the CSX Railroad, and Mc-
Alpine Creek.
The majority of the site is an upland ridge as depicted by the topographic maps.
A large portion of the site has been graded and prepared for development and is
maintained as open field. The soils on the site are Mecklenburg fine sandy loam
(MeB) and Monacan Soils (Mo) in the McAlpine Creek floodplain. Although the site
is near McAlpine Creek (channelized). jurisdictional waters are limited on this
site to a deeply incised bank to bank tributary and to portions of former sediment
basins that have developed small wetland areas. All areas in the proximity to
McAlpine Creek with hydrophytic vegetation were carefully evaluated for soil and
hydrological conditions that may have qualified the areas as jurisdictional wet-
lands. No wetland areas adjacent to McAlpine Creek were identified on the project
site. The attached map does indicate a wetland slough that is potentially adja-
cent however it is not in the development area or on the property. The developer
will require strict adherence to an approved Sediment and Erosion Control Plan to
protect this wetland area by the contractors.
I have informed my client that an application to the NC Division of Environmental
Management will be required if the development area changes and impacts of 1/3
Acre or greater to jurisdictional waters are necessary. Also, I have made my
client aware that impacts to wetlands adjacent to McAlpine Creek are not eligible
for this Nationwide Permit and would be subject to the Individual Permit Process.
Please let me know if you have any questions or require additional information.
