Re: Request for Permit Modification, Westside Regional Pump Station and Force Main,
Greenville Utilities Commission, Greenville, Pitt County, North Carolina
NCDWQ ID Number: unknown
Dear Sir/Madam,
The Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) application for the above referenced project has been
revised due to a design modification. A property owner whose property will be crossed by the
proposed force main requested that the proposed pipeline be located along the property
boundary in order to address a conflict with his planned use for the property. The new
alignment follows the edge of an existing overhead utility transmission line and is located
adjacent to and abutting the maintained easement. Please find attached the revised PCN
application and additional information regarding the proposed impacts to jurisdictional Section
404 wetlands, streams, and protected riparian buffers. As no correspondence has been
received from the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) relative to this project, the
NCDWQ ID number for the project is not known at this time.
Impacts to wetlands under the previously submitted alignment include 0.196 acre of permanent
impact and 0.72 acre of temporary impact to jurisdictional wetlands. The original permit
application also included temporary impacts to 350 feet of stream and permanent impacts to
7,221 square feet of Zone 1 riparian buffer and 3,718 square feet of Zone 2 riparian buffer. The
enclosed permit modification request increases the wetland impact totals to 0.306 acre of
permanent impact and 0.88 acre of temporary impact. Impacts to streams and Zone 1 riparian
buffers are unchanged. A total of 3,932 square feet of Zone 2 riparian buffer impacts are
proposed under the enclosed permit modification request.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers requires mitigation for the permanent impact to wetlands
associated with the proposed project. Greenville Utilities Commission has arranged with NC
Ecosystem Enhancement Program to acquire riparian wetland mitigation credits from the In-Lieu
Fee program and thereby meet the requirements for mitigation.

21-inch interceptor routing flow from the existing Westside PS to the new Westside Regional PS, decommission the
existing 150 gallons per minute (gpm) Paladin Place PS, construct 50 feet of 8-inch gravity sewer routing flow from the
existing Paladin Place PS to the proposed 21-inch Westside interceptor, and construct 32,000 feet of 24-inch and 30-inch
force main to route flow from the proposed Westside Regional PS to the GUC Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP).

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Impacts to jurisdictional resources can only be completely avoided by implementation of a no-build scenario. The no-build
scenario is not an acceptable option. Delineation of jurisdictional streams and wetlands was performed prior to design of the
proposed project. The location of the lines was dictated by the location of existing utilities and infrastructure in some areas.
Impacts to jurisdictional areas have been minimized by the directional drilling of the Tar River and the adjacent wetlands and
by locating the proposed construction within existing easements, where feasible. Bore and jack installation techniques will also
be used at one stream crossing to avoid impacts to jurisdictional areas and buffers. Impacts to jurisdictional areas were
minimized to the extent possible while still meeting minimum engineering and safety requirements. All stream crossings will be
within 15 degrees of perpendicular. The open cut stream crossings will use temporary coffer dams with pump arounds during
construction to minimize the potential for downstream water quality impacts.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Best management practices, and sedimentation and erosion control methods will be used during all construction activities. No
equipment refueling or maintenance activities will occur adjacent to jurisdictional areas. Wetland impacts during construction
will be minimized to the extent that is reasonably feasible. All temporary impacts to jurisdictional areas during construction will
be returned to their original configuration and stabilized and/or seeded within 21 days of completion of grading activities.

Project: Westside Regional Pump Station and Force Main
Expiration of Acceptance: March 28, 2012
County: Pitt
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) is willing to accept
payment for compensatory mitigation for impacts associated with the above referenced project as indicated in the table below. Please
note that this decision does not assure that participation in the NCEEP will be approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation
for project impacts. It is the responsibility of the applicant to contact these agencies to determine if payment to the NCEEP will be
approved. You must also comply with all other state, federal or local government permits, regulations or authorizations associated
with the proposed activity including SL 2009-337: An Act to Promote the Use of Compensatory Mitigation Banks as amended by
S.L. 2011-343.
This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter and is not transferable. If we have not received a copy of the
issued 404 Permit/401 Certification/CAMA permit within this time frame, this acceptance will expire. It is the applicant's
responsibility to send copies of the permits to NCEEP. Once NCEEP receives a copy of the permit(s) an invoice will be issued based
on the required mitigation in that permit and payment must be made prior to conducting the authorized work. The amount of the In
Lieu Fee to be paid to NCEEP by an applicant is calculated based upon the Fee Schedule and policies listed at www.nceep.net.
Based on the information supplied by you in your request to use the NCEEP, the impacts that may require compensatory mitigation are
summarized in the following table. The amount of mitigation required for this impact is determined by permitting agencies.
