PUBLIC NOTICE
HARNETT COUNTY, Post Office Box 759, Lillington, North Carolina 27546,
has applied for a Department of the Army permit TO PLACE FILL MATERIAL IN
WETLANDS OF WEST BUIES, BUIES CREEK AND NORTHEAST HARNETT COUNTY ASSOCIATED
WITH INSTALLATION OF AN ELEVEN MILE REGIONAL INTERSECTOR SYSTEM NEAR
LILLINGTON, Harnett County, North Carolina.
The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the
applicant and from observations made during an onsite visit by a
representative of the Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with the
application show the proposed construction of a wastewater treatment plant
near the conflunce of Buies Creek and the Cape Fear River. The plant site
consists of 20 acres of predominantly Oak/Hickory forest. Approximately 7
acres are to be cleared for construction of the proposed wastewater treatment
facilities, and the remainder of the tract is to be undisturbed. The nearest
residence is approximately 2,200 feet from the proposed treatment facilities,
and adequate distance and sufficient tree buffer exist to avoid adverse
aesthetic impacts. Approximately 52,280 linear feet of interceptors are to be
placed along West Buies and Buies Creek to transport wastewater to the 1.5 mgd
sub-regional treatment facility. Approximately 38 acres of forested wetlands
are to be disturbed to contruct the proposed transport system. Three
alternative alignments were considered by the applicant. Although the
selected alignment does involve disturbance of wetlands, it minimizes impacts
to private property owners and provides effective service to the planning
area, at minimum cost, as one sewer can be utilized by both sides of the
stream and reduce the number of existing and future pump stations. The
purpose of the work is to provide for an improved, efficient public wastewater
treatment plant and sewer line system. Plans showing the work are included
with this public notice.
The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine
the need for the applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No DA
permit will be issued until the coordinated State viewpoint on the proposal
has been received and reviewed by this agency, nor will a DA permit be issued
until the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (DEM) has
determined the applicability of a Water Quality Certificate as required by
PL 92-500.
This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within the
