Re: NWP # 18 & #26 for + 23 Acre Site at Colony and Summerlin Road Charlotte, NC
Dear Steve:
On behalf of Mr. Bryan Halt of LandCraft Properties, Inc., I am requesting confirmation
of eligibility to utilize NWT# 18 to impact ±0.05 Acres of wetlands below the headwaters
of McAlpine Creek, and NWT #26 to impact + 0.06 Acres of headwaters to develop this
+ 23 Acre residential site in Charlotte. This site is in the south area of Charlotte. The
jurisdictional waters were evaluated in October, 1995 and verified by the USACE on
11/1/95.
The majority of the site is moderately sloped ridge with no well defined drainageway.
The soils according to SCS Soil Survey on site are made up of typically well drained soils
including Iredell fine sandy loam (IrB), Mecklenburg fine sandy loam (MeB), and Wilkes
Loam (WkB). Vegetation includes mixed hardwoods to extremely dense scrub/shrub
overgrowth with blackberry, sericea lespedeza, and honeysuckle in various stages of
succession . Much of the areas of the woodlands were impacted by Hurricane Hugo.
Facultative (FAC and FACW) vegetation is common along the small intermittent
tributary and in the small wetland area. The wetland area under the powerline includes
smartweed, and soft rush.
The total area of Jurisdictional Waters on the site is + 0.11 acres based on my site
evaluation and USAGE verification and are limited to a small bank to bank intermittent
tributary and a small wetland area under the powerline. The plan depicts that most of the
impact area will be utilized for lots and general development requirements.

A review of USGS Maps at the Natural Heritage Program on 11/13 did not indicate any
endangered species identified on the site. Schweinitz's sunflower is known to occur in a
variety of soil types such as Iredell, Enon, Cecil, Meisenheimer, Gaston, and Zion. The
area with Iredell soils which occur on this site is heavily wooded and does not appear to
be habitat for this species. The powerline clearing is in extremely heavy overgrowth
consisting of blackberry, honeysuckle, and lespedeza and traverses through Mecklenburg
and Wilkes Soils. The Office of State Archaeology, and the Survey and Restoration
Branch, was also visited in Raleigh on 11/13 and no previously identified historical or
archaeological sites were indicated. The developer will require strict adherence to an
approved Sediment and Erosion Control Plan and 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.
Please let me know if you have any questions or require additional information.
Thank you.
