Subject: Trent Woods Vacuum Sewer / Wilson Creek Crossing
Dear Ms. Wheeler:
The City of New Bern is proposing the installation of a vacuum sewer collection system to serve
the Town of Trent Woods. The project is designed to collect wastewater from the Trent Woods
area and transport it to an existing collection main in the City of New Bern where it will then be
sent to the Wastewater Treatment Plant for treatment. This request for a CAMA General Permit
on behalf of the City of New Bern is for the portion of the collection system proposed to cross
Wilson Creek. The proposed creek crossing is to be an aerial crossing with the collection main
situated upon piles. Please find enclosed the following items necessary to satisfy the General
Permit requirements:
1. Certified Mail receipts of project notifications from adjacent landowners,
2. Letter from DWQ stating the City of New Bern's WWTP will be able to handle the
additional wastewater flow,
3. Check from the City of New Bern in the amount of $100.00,
4. One (1) set of 11x17 plans of the proposed creek crossing.
On behalf of the residents of the Town of Trent Woods and the City of New Bern, Rivers and
Associates, Inc. would like to thank you for your assistance in the permitting of this project. If
you have any questions of comments regarding the proposed project please feel free to contact me
at 252-752-4135.
Sincerely,
Dan Shabeldeen
Project Manager

Subject: Trent Woods Vacuum Sewer Project
Craven County
Dear Mr. Williams:
Mr. Roger Thorpe has asked that I respond to your letter of September 11, 2002
regarding the subject matter.
In brief, Rivers & Associates are presently designing a sewer collection system for Trent
Woods, which is to connect to the City of New Bern's wastewater treatment system. However,
the City of New Bern is presently under a Special Order by Consent, which restricts the volume
of additional wastewater that the town can except into its system. Upon the completion of the
new wastewater treatment plant the acceptance will not be an issue, but at the present it is a
very big issue.
The City of New Bern presently does not have adequate capacity to receive the
estimated 776,180 gpd from Trent Woods. Any application for a permit to construct a
collection system tributary to New Bern should propose " that no wastewater will become
tributary to the City of New Bern until the City's new wastewater plant is completed and in
compliance with it's effluent limits". A condition in the construction permit to that affect would
be acceptable with the applicant.
If I can be of any further assistance I can be reached at 252-946-6481.
Sincerely,
A,

Dear Ms. Wheeler:
Mr. Norman Kellum just informed me of your intent to destroy one of the most beautiful
scenic residential areas in North Carolina. I can't imagine who could come up with such
a distasteful idea of running a sewer pipe over Wilson Creek ten(10) feet adjacent to the
Wilson Creek Bridge.
I am sure you have alternatives such as burying this pipe under the Wilson Creek bottom.
Many years ago the residents of Trent Woods worked diligently with the North Carolina
Department of Transportation to design and construct an acceptable replacement for the
old wooden curved bridge. We worked with great detail to maintain height for boat
passage and to keep the rails non commercial and low for viewing of the beauty of
Wilson Creek.. My hope is that many of these same people will be working with you and
others to prevent this unthinkable action to happen.
I want to go on record of strongly opposing this "Aerial Sewer System" to be place over
Wilson Creek in the heart of Trent Woods, NC.

Dear Ms. Wheeler:
12102
Respond To:
New Bern Office
I strongly object to the proposed design and placement of the sewer line above Wilson
Creek as shown on the drawings sent with the recent mailing.
Some of my objections are as follows:
Sewage spill;
Wilson Creek is a navigable waterway. Many vessels of all sizes come into the
creek from the Trent River. During storms, vessels seek shelter in the creek to
"ride out the storm." As the creek rises a greater danger is created because a
breakaway vessel could get lodged under the pipe and fracture it as it rises or
fracture it by pounding same. A raw sewage spill could result. A cleanup would
cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The exposed pipe will create a tempting target for pranks and vandals
The homes in the Trentwoods/Wilson Creek area are on some of the most valuable
residential land in the county. To have an exposed sewage pipe traversing Wilson Creek will
bring numerous complaints as well as the potential reduction of surrounding property values.
En 'n,� eering:
Is this the best an engineering firm can do to handle this crossing or is this the cheapest
solution? When the Neuse River was recently crossed with a sewage line, the City of New Bern
put the pipe under the ever bed. Why is your design above ground/water? Is cost the over-riding

factor?
4. Aesthetics: photogenic scenery.
Wilson Creek bridge has appeared in the local newspaper on at least one occasion -
When it was built to replace the wooden structure, the residents met with the engineers to discuss
the design in an attempt to preserve the quaintness and serene beauty of the creek and the bridge.
The present bridge was built with that presentation in mind. This sewage pipe design destroys
that effort and the result of much hard work.
5. Condemnation of property:
This design reduces the value of the adjacent properties and amounts to a taking of
property without compensation.
6. Other points will be presented later_

(2) Months covered by payment = 3
$30,000 / 3 = $10,000 per month

Hey Everyone -
Wanted to inform you on what this guy is complaining about to keep it from "blowing up" on us. The
City of New Bern signed an agreement with the Town of Trent Woods to install a Sewer Collection
System. We were contacted by the contractor - Rivers & Associates, Inc. - in regards to the permitting of
the structure over Wilson Creek. They are proposing to place the sewer line on its own piling supports
some 10' from the bridge. It would not impact navigation, the esturarine system, etc. and met the criteria
for a GP. We received objections from the two adjacent riparian property owners essentially objecting on
the basis of aethetics, property value deterioation, potential for spills, etc. One objection was received
within 10 days and one was not. Another third party objected after the permit was issued. We evaluated
the one objection that was received in time, determined that the project was consistent with the pertinent
regulations and issued a permit over that objection. The second objection was not received within 10
days, thus we went forward with the permit. I still wrote him a letter to all three saying that we considered
their objections, determined that the project was consistent and that they could file a request for a third
party appeal.
Mr. La Vigne is incorrect in his assumption that the Town has not offered any letter of approval for the
project. This office has a signed Trent Woods Sewer Collection System Agreement between the City of
New Bern and the Town of Trent Woods. It was signed by both Mayors and both City and Town Clerks
on June 10 and 11, 2002.
I hope this sheds some light on his emails and telephone messages. In his calls to this office, he has
been very rude to at least three employees. It has been unacceptable behavior to have to put up with. let
me know if you need more information. Thanks, Ted T.

approved for the WilsonCreek bridge sewer pipe. I am shocked to see that Rivers and Assocaites has
written a letter for New Bern requesting the approval of the Trentwoods sewer project and that the town
of Trentwoods has not offered any letter of approval for the project. Nor has Mr Tyndal requested that
the town submit a letter of approval. At the same time Mr Tyndal has the objection of both property
owners and it is clear and reasonable to assume that many others as well as the town will and would
object.

Dear Ms. Finch:
This correspondence is in reference to your September 20, 2002 objection letter to the
recent vacuum sewer collection system proposal by the City of New Bern. The project is
located over Wilson Creek in the Town of Trent Woods, in Craven County, North Carolina.
The Town proposes to install a 230' long 10" vacuum sewer line over Wilson Creek. The
sewer line would be located adjacent to the bridge and on separate support piles located some
10' off the existing bridge.
It appears that your objections are based on your opinion that the project would affect
the aesthetics of the area as well as adversely affecting the value of your property. The North
Carolina Division of Coastal Management has given your objections careful consideration but
has determined that the project is consistent with the pertinent regulations of the Division.
Therefore, on September 24, 2002, the Division issued CAMA General Permit #32828-C for
installation of the sewer line.
If you wish to appeal this permit decision, you may file a request with the Director of
the Division of Coastal Management, Department of Environment and Natural Resources
within 20 days of the permit decision. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please
don't hesitate to contact me at my Morehead City Office (252-808-2808).

M. Ted Tyndall

ATTENTION: Ms Sherry Wheeler
Dear Ms. Wheeler:
Mr. Norman Kellum just informed me of your intent to destroy one of the most beautiful
scenic residential areas in North Carolina. I can't imagine who could come up with such
a distasteful idea of constructing a sewer pipe over Wilson Creek ten (10) feet adjacent to
the Wilson Creek Bridge.
Surely you can bury this pipe under the Wilson Creek bottom.
Many years ago the residents of Trent Woods worked diligently with the North Carolina
Department of Transportation to design and construct an acceptable replacement for the
old wooden curved bridge. We worked with great detail to maintain height for boat
passage and to keep the rails non-commercial and low for viewing of the beauty of
Wilson Creek. My hope is that many of these same people will be working with you to
prevent this unthinkable action.
Additionally, the taxpayers of Trentwoods do not want to be responsible for any fines
that may be imposed if a leak was to occur. The towns of Kinston and Trenton have been
a problem to New Bern in the past concerning pollution. Please do not return our
children and grandchildren to this possibility again.
Please put me on record of strongly opposing this "Aerial Sewer System" to be place
over Wilson Creek in the heart of Trent Woods, NC.

Dear Ms. Wheeler:
Respond To:
New Bern Office
I strongly object to the proposed design and placement of the sewer line above Wilson
Creek as shown on the drawings sent with the recent mailing.
Some of my objections are as follows:
Sewage spill:
Wilson Creek is a navigable waterway. Many vessels of all sizes come into the
creek from the Trent River. During storms, vessels seek shelter in the creek to
"ride out the storm." As the creek rises a greater danger is created because a
breakaway vessel could get lodged under the pipe and fracture it as it rises or
fracture it by pounding same. A raw sewage spill could result. A cleanup would
cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The exposed pipe will create a tempting target for pranks and vandals
2. Aesthetics and real property values:
The homes in the Trentwoods/Wilson Creek area are on some of the most valuable
residential land in the county. To have an exposed sewage pipe traversing Wilson Creek will
bring numerous complaints as well as the potential reduction of surrounding property values.
Engineering:
Is this the best an engineering firm can do to handle this crossing or is this the cheapest
solution? When the Neuse River was recently crossed with a sewage line, the City of New Bern
put the pipe under the river bed. Why is your design above groundwater? Is cost the over-riding

4. Aesthetics: photogenic scenery. SEP 2 7 2002
Wilson Creek bridge has appeared in the local newspaper on at least one occasion.
When it was built to replace the wooden structure, the residents met with the engineers to discuss
the design in an attempt to preserve the quaintness and serene beauty of the creek and the bridge.
The present bridge was built with that presentation in mind. This sewage pipe design destroys
that effort and the result of much hard work.
5. Condemnation of property:
This design reduces the value of the adjacent properties and amounts to a taking of
property without compensation.
6. Other points will be presented later.

Dear Ms. Wheeler:
GCT 0 2 2002
All of us in Trent Woods are upset about the proposed aerial
sewer line to be built on Wilson Creek.
Most of us want a sewer system and when we voted for it, we
did not know the particulars or where or how it was to be
engineered.
It is a pretty, semi -rural area which, hopefully, can be pre-
served. Perhaps a public hearing? Or a presentation by you
and Associates as to how it would look, what other options
there are available.
At this moment, the prospect of an "Aerial Sewer System"
sounds as if it might be detrimental to property values, (of
which we are now. paying an exorbitant rate in taxes). I
do believe a comprehensive presentation would do a great
deal for both sides.
