Executive Summary
' The 6636 Melody Lane Maintenance Project is located in Charlotte, North Carolina,
approximately 0.4 mile east of the WT Harris Boulevard - Robinson Church Road 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 culvert) at the Melody Road stream crossing.
' Charlotte Storm Water Services (CSWS) has contracted Carolina Wetland Services, Inc. (CWS)
to provide permitting services for this project.
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 the on-site stream channel (Attachment B). Proposed activities will consist of
pipe for pipe replacement and reworking the existing plunge pool. These activities will not
result in additional impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U. S. Due to existing utility conflicts,
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. Therefore, CWS is submitting a
Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) application with attachments in accordance with the
' notification requirements of Water Quality Certification (WQC) No. 3376 (Attachment C).
CSWS is requesting that this PCN shall also serve as a request for a waiver for the buried culvert
condition under Nationwide Permit No. 3. Given the limited nature of the proposed impacts, no
mitigation is being proposed at this time.

Existing Conditions
The 6636 Melody Lane Maintenance Project is located in Charlotte, North Carolina,
approximately 0.4 mile east of the WT Harris Boulevard - Robinson Church Roar intersection
(Attachment A - Figures 1 and 2). Charlotte Storm Water Services (CSWS) has contracted
Carolina Wetland Services (CWS) to provide permitting services for this project. The following
sections describe the existing conditions of the project area.
Current Land Use
The current land use for the project area is residential. The project area is generally comprised
of maintained lawns and small wooded areas. Dominant vegetation includes Japanese
honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), sweetgum (Liquidambar stynaciflua), loblolly pine
(Pinus taeda), red maple (Acer rubrum), and red cedar (Juniperus virginiana). Residential and
commercial land usages surround the project area.
According to the Soil Survey of Mecklenburg County', on-site soils consist of Monacan soils
(Mo) (Attachment A - Figure 2). This soil type is poorly drained and exhibits moderate
permeability and high water capacity. Monacan soils are also known to exhibit hydric inclusions
in Mecklenburg County.Z
Jurisdictional Delineation
On April 2, 2004, CWS's Kip Kerecman and Brenda Wichmann 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 Manual a No wetland areas were identified within the project limits. 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 (NCDWQ)5 and USACE guidance. A NCDWQ Stream Classification
Form and USACE Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet for Stream A have been included as
Attachment E.

Results
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 to Reedy Creek. Reedy Creek is part of the Yadkin/Pee Dee River basin
(HU# 03040105)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).
Stream A generally flows north across the site (Attachment A - Figure 3). Stream A was
evaluated to be Perennial and exhibited a continuous bed and bank, strong flow, and substrate
consisting of silt to gravel. Biological sampling within Stream A indicated a weak presence of
benthic macroinvertebrates, a moderate presence of amphibians (frogs and salamanders), and a
weak presence of crayfish (Attachment E - SCP1). Perennial Stream A scored 39.25 out of a
possible 71 points on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form and 53 out of 100 points on the
USACE Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet. Photographs of Stream A have been included
as Attachment F - Photographs A and B.
Agency Correspondence
Cultural Resources
A letter was forwarded to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on April 2, 2004 to
determine the presence of any areas of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance that
would be affected by the project. To date, no response has been received from SHPO.
Protected Species
A. letter was forwarded to the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) on
April 2, 2004 to determine the presence of any federally-listed species or critical habitat located
within the project area. In a letter dated April 5, 2004, the NCNHP stated that they have "one
recent occurrence of Symphyotrichum georgianum (Georgia aster), a State-Listed Threatened
species and Federal Candidate for listing, approximately 2.5 kilometers north east of the site"
(Attachment G). NCNHP recommended a survey for this species if suitable habitat was found
on site. CWS investigated the proposed project area for appropriate habitat on April 15, 2004
and no suitable habitat was present. This species is found on dry, open uplands, roadways, and
right-of-ways. The proposed project area is located within a mesic riparian corridor. The
understory is comprised of maintained lawns, grassed roadsides, and densely vegetated stream
banks. A letter summarizing the results of this investigation has been forwarded to NCNHP.

6636 Melody Lane Maintenance Project April 21, 2004
' Nationwide Permit No. 3 Application Project No 2004-0622
' Purpose and Need for the Project
' The purpose of this project is to upgrade an existing culvert crossing at Melody Lane. The
existing pipe will be upgraded to bring the existing stream crossing to current City standards.
' The existing pipe will be replaced with a larger diameter pipe and a new headwall. The current
pipe has failed and is threatening the integrity of the roadway.
' Avoidance and Minimization
' Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent
practicable. The culvert replacement will not result in any additional impacts to the channel.
' Original construction plans had proposed a.30 linear foot (If) gabion structure to be placed in the
stream channel to protect the culvert and dissipate energy (Attachment H - Figures 4a and 4b).. The
revised plan eliminates the gabion drop structure and specifies reworking the existing rip rap plunge
t pool structure (Attachment I - Figures 5a. and 5b). Proper sediment and erosion control measures
will also be used to minimize disturbances to downstream waters.
Proposed Impacts to Jurisdictional Waters
Activities will include replacing an 8' X 6' elliptical corrugated metal pipe (CMP) with a 12'x 4'
Reinforced Concrete Box Culvert (RCBC) (Attachment G - Figures 4a. and 4b.). In addition,
the existing rip rap plunge pool will be repaired and upgraded and a rock vein will be placed at
' each side of the channel at the end of the plunge pool to migrate flow back to the existing
channel cross section. These activities will not result in additional impacts to Stream A. Due to
existing utility conflicts 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 No. 3376. Therefore, CWS is submitting a Pre-Construction Notification
' (PCN) application with attachments in accordance with the notification requirements of WQC
No. 3376 (Attachment C). CSWS is requesting that this PCN shall also serve as a request for a
' waiver of the buried culvert condition under Nationwide Permit No 3.

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent
practicable. The culvert replacement will not result in any additional impacts to the channel.
Original construction plans had proposed a 30 linear foot Gf) gabion structure to be placed in
the stream channel to protect the culvert and dissipate energy (Attachment H - Figures 4a
and 4b). The revised plan eliminates the gabion drop structure and specifies reworking the
existing rip rap plunge pool structure (Attachment I - Figures 5a. and 5b). Proper sediment
and erosion control measures will also be used to minimize disturbances to downstream
waters.
Page 4 of 7
VIII. Mitigation
This project will not result in additional impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. therefore
' no mitigation is being -proposed for this project.
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 401/Wetlands 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 http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/wrp/index.hbn. If
' use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
the following information:
' Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): N/A
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A

. 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 more continuity, and a separate form 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.

Dear Mr. Karl:
The Natural Heritage Program has no record of rare species, significant natural communities, or priority natural
areas at the site nor within two kilometers of the project area. Our records do indicate one recent occurrence of
Symphyotrichum georgianum (Georgia Aster), a State-Listed Threatened species and Federal Species of
Concern, approximately 2.5 kilometers the north east of the project site, as indicated on the attached map. The
project, as described your letter dated March 23, 2004, is not expected to impact this occurrence, as it is well
outside of the limits of the project area.
Although our maps do not show records of natural heritage elements in the project area, it does not necessarily
mean that they are not present. It may simply mean that the area has not been surveyed. The use of Natural
Heritage Program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys, particularly if the project area contains
' suitable habitat for rare species, significant natural communities, or priority natural areas. Suitable habitat for
the rare Symphyotrichum georgianum would include open woods and roadsides. We would recommend a
survey for this species if suitable habitat exists within the project area.
You may wish to check the Natural Heritage Program database website at
<www.ncsparks.net/nhp/search.html> for a listing of rare plants and animals and significant natural
' communities in the county and on the topographic quad map. Please do not hesitate to contact me at 919-715-
8700 if you have questions or need further information.

' 6636 Melody Lane Maintenance Project April 21, 2004
Nationwide Permit No. 3 Application Project No 20040622
Executive Summary
' The 6636 Melody Lane Maintenance Project is located in Charlotte, North Carolina,
approximately 0.4 mile east of the WT Harris Boulevard - Robinson Church Road 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 culvert) at the Melody Road stream crossing.
Charlotte Storm Water Services (CSWS) has contracted Carolina Wetland Services, Inc. (CWS)
to provide permitting services for this project.
' 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 the on-site stream channel (Attachment B). Proposed activities will consist of
pipe for pipe replacement and reworking the existing plunge pool. These activities will not
' result in additional impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U. S. Due to existing utility conflicts,
the proposed pipe cannot be buried to a one-foot depth as required in the Wilmington District's
Regional Conditions for Nationwide Permit (NWT) No. 3. Therefore, CWS is submitting a
Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) application with attachments in accordance with the
' notification requirements of Water Quality Certification (WQC) No. 3376 (Attachment C).
CSWS is requesting that this PCN shall also serve as a request for a waiver for the buried culvert
condition under Nationwide Permit No. 3. Given the limited nature of the proposed impacts, no
' mitigation is being proposed at this time.

Existing Conditions
The 6636 Melody Lane Maintenance Project is located in Charlotte, North Carolina;
approximately 0.4 mile east of the WT Harris Boulevard - Robinson Church Roar intersection
(Attachment A - Figures 1 and 2). Charlotte Storm Water Services (CSWS) has contracted
Carolina Wetland Services (CWS) to provide permitting services for this project. The following
sections describe the existing conditions of the project area.
Current Land Use
The current land use for the project area is residential. The project area is generally comprised
of maintained lawns and small wooded areas. Dominant vegetation includes Japanese
honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), loblolly pine
(Pines taeda), red maple (Acer rubrum), and red cedar (Juniperus virginiana). Residential and
commercial land usages surround the project area.
According to the Soil Survey of Mecklenburg County', on-site soils consist of Monacan soils
(Mo) (Attachment A - Figure 2). This soil type is poorly drained and exhibits moderate
permeability and high water capacity. Monacan soils are also known to exhibit hydric inclusions
in Mecklenburg County.2
Jurisdictional Delineation
On April 2, 2004, CWS's Kip Kerecman and Brenda Wichmann 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 Manual. No wetland areas were identified within the project limits. 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 (NCDWQ)5 and USACE guidance. A NCDWQ Stream Classification
Form and USACE Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet for Stream A have been included as
Attachment E.

Results
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 to Reedy Creek. Reedy Creek is part of the Yadkin/Pee Dee River basin
(HU# 03040105)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).
Stream A generally flows north across the site (Attachment A - Figure 3). Stream A was
evaluated to be Perennial and exhibited a continuous bed and bank, strong flow, and substrate
consisting of silt to gravel. Biological sampling within Stream A indicated a weak presence of
benthic macroinvertebrates, a moderate presence of amphibians (frogs and salamanders), and a
weak presence of crayfish (Attachment E - SCP1). Perennial Stream A scored 39.25 out of a
possible 71 points on the NCDWQ Stream Classification Form and 53 out of 100 points on the
USACE Stream Quality Assessment Worksheet. Photographs of Stream A have been included
as Attachment F - Photographs A and B.
Agency Correspondence
Cultural Resources
A letter was forwarded to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on April 2, 2004 to
determine the presence of any areas of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance that
would be affected by the project. To date, no response has been received from SHPO.
Protected Species
A letter was forwarded to the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) on
April 2, 2004 to determine the presence of any federally-listed species or critical habitat located
within the project area. In a letter dated April 5, 2004, the NCNHP stated that they have "one
recent occurrence of Symphyotrichum georgianum (Georgia aster), a State-Listed Threatened
species and Federal Candidate for listing, approximately 2.5 kilometers north east of the site"
(Attachment G). NCNHP recommended a survey for this species if suitable habitat was found
on site. CWS investigated the proposed project area for appropriate habitat on April 15, 2004
and no suitable habitat was present. This species is found on dry, open uplands, roadways, and
right-of-ways. The proposed project area is located within a mesic riparian corridor. The
understory is comprised of maintained lawns, grassed roadsides, and densely vegetated stream
banks. A letter summarizing the results of this investigation has been forwarded to NCNHP.

6636 Melody Lane Maintenance Project April 21, 2004
Nationwide Permit No. 3 Application Project No 20040622
Purpose and Need for the Project
The purpose of this project is to upgrade an existing culvert crossing at Melody Lane. The
existing pipe will be upgraded to bring the existing stream crossing to current City standards.
The existing pipe will be replaced with a larger diameter pipe and a new headwall. The current
pipe has failed and is threatening the integrity of the roadway.
Avoidance and Minimization
Impacts to on-site jurisdictional waters of the U.S. have been reduced to the maximum extent
practicable. The culvert replacement will not result in any additional impacts to the channel.
Original construction plans had proposed a 30 linear foot (If) gabion structure to be placed in the
stream channel to protect the culvert and dissipate energy (Attachment H - Figures 4a and 4b).. The
revised plan eliminates the gabion drop structure and specifies reworking the existing rip rap plunge
pool structure (Attachment I - Figures 5a. and 5b). Proper sediment and erosion control measures
will also be used to minimize disturbances to downstream waters.
Proposed Impacts to jurisdictional Waters
Activities will include replacing an 8' X 6' elliptical corrugated metal pipe (CMP) with a 12'x 4'
Reinforced Concrete Box Culvert (.RCBC) (Attachment G - Figures 4a. and 4b.). In addition,
the existing rip rap plunge pool will be repaired and upgraded and a rock vein will be placed at
each side of the channel at the end of the plunge pool to migrate flow back to the existing
channel cross section. These activities will not result in additional impacts to Stream A. Due to
existing utility conflicts 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 No. 3376. Therefore, CWS is submitting a Pre-Construction Notification
(PCN) application with attachments in accordance with the notification requirements of WQC
No. 3376 (Attachment C). CSWS is requesting that this PCN shall also serve as a request for a
waiver of the buried culvert condition under Nationwide Permit No 3.

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 more continuity, and a separate form 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.
' Total Score (from reverse): 53 Comments:
Evaluator's Signature Date
This channel evaluation lorfn is intended to be used only as a guide to assist landowners and environmental professionals in
' gathering the data required by the United States Army Corps of Engineers in order to make a preliminary assessment of
stream quality. The total score resulting from the completion of this form is subject to USACE approval and does not imply a
particular mitigation ratio or requirement. Form subject to change - version 05/03. To Comment, please call 919-876-8441 x 26.

Subject: Request for Records Search, 6636 melody Lane Maintenance Project, Charlotte, NC
Carolina Wetland Services Project No. 2004-0622
Dear Mr. Karl:
The Natural Heritage Program has no record of rare species, significant natural communities, or priority natural
' areas at the site nor within two kilometers of the project area. Our records do indicate one recent occurrence of
Symphyotrichum georgianum (Georgia Aster), a State-Listed Threatened species and Federal Species of
Concern, approximately 2.5 kilometers the north east of the project site, as indicated on the attached map. The
' project; as described your letter dated March 23, 2004, is not expected to impact this occurrence, as it is well
outside of the limits of the project area.
' Although our maps do not show records of natural heritage elements in the project area, it does not necessarily
mean that they are not present. It may simply mean that the area has not been surveyed. The use of Natural
Heritage Program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys, particularly if the project area contains
suitable habitat for rare species, significant natural communities, or priority natural areas. Suitable habitat for
the rare Symphyotrichum georgianum would include open woods and roadsides. We would recommend a
survey for this species if suitable habitat exists within the project area.
You may wish to check the Natural Heritage Program database website at
<www.nesparks.net/nhp/search.html> for a listing of rare plants and animals and significant natural
' communities in the county and on the topographic quad map. Please do not hesitate to contact me at 919-715-
8700 if you have questions or need further information.
