Comments:

Staff visited the site on April 22, 2004. Applicant reQuests approval to replace a culvert, which
allows access to a residence. The site is located in a residential neigborhood of Charlotte The
current culvert is beginning to fail and reQuires upgrading. Because of the "rocky" nature of the
stream, there is concern that it will not be feasible to install the new culvert below the streambed as
reQuired. There is also concern that with the slope of the stream, "burying" the new culvert will cause
headcutting upstream Because of the size of the rocks/boulders in the stream, that were observed,
headingcutting would not appear to be a problem Staff instructed the applicant.
1) The new culvert must be buried if at all possible unless prevented due to underlying bedrock
2) The bed of the stream should be "built" up on the downstream side of the culvert to allow aQuatic
passage if #1 is determined not to be feasible

2301 Rayecliff Lane Maintenance Project
Nationwide Permit No.3

A prill, 2004
Project No. 2004-0610

Executive Summary

The 230 I Rayecliff Lane Maintenance Project is located in Charlotte, North Carolina,
approximately one mile northwest of the Tuckaseegee Road - Park Lane intersection
(Attachment A - Figures I and 2). The overall purpose of this project is to upgrade and repair
existing storm water drainage infrastructure (Le., a driveway culvert) at 230 I Rayecliff Lane.
Charlotte Storm Water Services (CSWS) has contracted Carolina Wetland Services, Inc. (CWS)
to provide permitting services for this project.

I
I
I
I

The results of the on-site field investigation conducted by CWS indicate that there is one
jurisdictional stream channel (Stream A) located within the project limits
(Attachment A - Figure 3). CSWS is requesting written verification of the jurisdictional
determination of Stream A (Attachment B). Proposed activities will consist of pipe for pipe
repiacement and will not result in additional impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. Due to
existing bedrock on-site, the proposed pipe cannot be buried to a one-foot depth as required in
the Wilmington District's Regional Conditions for Nationwide Permit (NWP) No.3 and Water
Quality Certification (WQc) No. 3376. Therefore, CWS is submitting a Pre-Construction
Notification (PCN) application with attachments in accordance with the notification
requirements of Nationwide Permit (NWP) No.3 and Water Quality Certification (WQc) No.
3376 (Attachment C). This PCN shall also serve as a request for a waiver for the buried culvert
condition. Given the limited nature of the proposed impacts, no mitigation is being proposed at
this time.

Existing Conditions

I

The 2301 Rayecliff Lane Maintenance Project is located in Charlotte, North Carolina,
approximately one mile northwest of the Tuckaseegee Road - Park Lane intersection
(Attachment A - Figures 1 and 2). The overall purpose of this project is to upgrade and repair
existing storm water drainage infrastructure (i.e., a driveway culvert) at 2301 Rayecliff Lane.

. Current Land Use

I

The current land use for the project area is residential and is generally comprised of maintained
lawns and wooded areas. Dominant vegetation within the project area consists of autumn olive
(Elaeagnus umbellata), eastern red cedar (Juniperns virginiana), box elder (Acer negundo),
bedstraw (Gallium tinctorum), English ivy (Hedera helix), Japanese honeysuckle
(Lonicerajaponica), and ground ivy (Glechoma hederacea). According to the Soil Survey of
Mecklenburg County! (Attachment A ~ Figure 2), soils within the project area consist of Wilkes
loam, 15 to 25% slopes (WkE). The WkE soil type exhibits moderately slow permeability, very
low water capacity, and rapid surface runoff. The WkE soil type is not known to include hydric
inclusions within Mecklenburg County.2

Jurisdictional Delineation
On March 24,2004 CWS's Brenda Wichmann and Kip Kerecman investigated on-site
jurisdictional waters of the U.S.] using the U.S, Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
Routine On-Site Determination Method. This method is defined in the 1987 Corps of Engineers
Wetlands Delineation Manua1.4 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 (NCDWQi and
USACE guidance, A NCDWQ Stream Classification form and USACE Stream Quality
Assessment Worksheet for Stream A have been included as Attachment E.

Results

I

The results of the on-site field investigation indicate that there is one jurisdictional stream channel
(Stream A) located within the project limits (Attachment A - Figure 3). Stream A is an unnamed
tributary of Paw Creek, which is part of the Catawba River basin (HU# 03050101)6 and is classified
as "Class C" waters by the NCDWQ. CSWS is requesting written verification of the jurisdictional
determination of Stream A (Attachment B).

I

I

I

Stream A generally flows northwest through the project area and is piped at the driveway
crossing at 2301 RayecliffLane (Attachment A - Figure 3). Stream A was evaluated to be
Perennial and exhibits a five-foot average bankfull width, moderate flow, and a moderate
presence of benthic macro invertebrates (Attachment E - SCP 1). Stream A scored 31.5 out of a
possible 71 points on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form and 44 out of a possible 100
points on the USACE Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet. Photographs of Perennial
Stream A have been included as Attachment F - Photographs A and B.

Agency Correspondence

I

Cultural Resources
A letter was forwarded to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on March 29,2004, to
determine the presence of any areas of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance that
would be affected by the project. To this date no response has been received from SHPO.

I

I

Protected Species
A letter was forwarded to the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) on
March 29, 2004 to determine the presence of any federally-listed species or critical habitat
located within the project area. To this date no response has been received from NCNHP.

I

I

I

Purpose and Need for the Project

I

The purpose of the project is to upgrade existing storm water drainage infrastructure
(i.e., a driveway culvert) at the 2301 RayecliffLane stream crossing. The existing crossing is
currently failing from various past storm events due to its inadequate size. The condition of this
crossing is a safety concern for this resident and does not provided adequate access to the
residence. The existing pipe will be upgraded to bring the existing stream crossing to current
City standards.

2301 RayecIiff Lane Maintenance Project
Nationwide Permit No.3

April 1, 2004
Proiect No. 2004-0610

Avoidance and Minimization

Activities will consist of a pipe for pipe replacement and will not result in additional impacts to
jurisdictional waters of the U.S. The culvert has been designed to minimize the perched culvert
condition to the maximum extent possible, During construction, proper sediment and erosion
control measures will be used to minimize disturbance to downstream waters,

Proposed Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters

I

Activities will include replacing a 48" corrugated metal pipe (CMP) with a 54" reinforced
concrete pipe (RCP), removing a concrete slab at the existing pipe inlet, and replace existing rip
rap at the pipe outlet to protect the structure (Attachment G - Figures 4 and 5). Due to existing
on-site bedrock, this proposed pipe cannot be buried to a one-foot depth as required in the
Wilmington District's Regional Conditions for Nationwide Permit (NWP) No, 3 and Water
Quality Certification (WQc) No. 3376, Therefore, CWS is submitting a Pre-Construction
Notification (PCN) application with attachments in accordance with the notification
requirements of Nationwide Permit No.3 and Water Quality Certification (WQC) No. 3376
(Attachment C). This PCN shall also serve as a request for a waver for the buried culvert
condition. The proposed plan should improve aquatic life passage by reducing the height of the
bottom of the pipe in relation to the stream bed by 70 percent.

I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I

Compensatory Mitigation

Because this project will not impact additional jurisdictional waters of the U.S. no compensatory
mitigation is being proposed.

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
WWW.llSgS,gOV. Several internet sites also allow direct download and printing of USGS maps (e.g., www,topozone.com,

local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A

Size of watershed draining to pond: N/ A
Expected pond surface area: N/ A

VII. Impact Justification (A voidance and Minimization)
Activities will consist of pipe for pipe replacement and will not result in additional impacts to
iurisdictional waters of the U.S. During construction, proper sediment and erosion control
measures will be used to minimize disturbance to downstream waters.

VIII. Mitigation

Because this proiect will not impact additional iurisdictional waters of the U.S. no compensatory
mitigation is being proposed.

1. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401lWetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at hrtp://h20.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index,htm. If

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 mbre
continuity, and a separate tonn 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,
