Project Description The Town of Mocksville owns and operates two wastewater treatment facilities: the Dutchmans Creek Facility (NC 0021491), and the Bear Creek Facility (NC 0050903). See Ptl Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3 in Appendix I for vicinity maps for these two facilities. Bear Creek is a small stream with a 7-day 10-year low flow (7Q10) of approximately 0.675 mgd. The Town's 0.250 mgd oxidation ditch type treatment facility discharges into Bear Creek. The average daily discharge in 2002 through the plant was 0.184 mgd while the average daily discharge in 2003 through the plant was 0.262 mgd. The higher 2003 discharge appears to have resulted from Inflow and Infiltration resulting from greater rainfall in that year. The NCDENR has required the Town to address flow issues at the Bear Creek Treatment Plant. M Dutchmans Creek is a somewhat larger stream with a 7Q10 of 9.69 mgd. The Town owns and operates a 0.680 mgd extended aeration treatment plant discharging to Dutchmans rAq Creek. The average daily discharge in 2002 through the plant was 0.504 mgd while the average daily discharge in 2003 through the plant was 0.567 mgd. As was the case for the Bear Creek facility, the higher 2003 discharge appears to have resulted from inflow and infiltration resulting from greater rainfall in that year. The Town of Mocksville has instituted an ongoing rehabilitation program to address the Inflow aq and Infiltration issues with both the Bear Creek collection system and the Dutchmans Creek collection system. As this program is independent of the upgrade project, it will not be discussed at length in this report. The Ingersoll-Rand Company discharges into the Bear Creek collection system. Since Ingersoll performs machine fabrication and metal finishing, the company operates under a categorical pretreatment permit and pretreats its wastewater to relatively high standards prior to discharge. The company's pretreatment permit allows for discharging up to 65,000 gallons per day through the pretreatment plant and 36,000 gallons per day from ground water remediation wells on site. Ingersoll is seeking to add additional manufacturing capability. However, since the Bear Creek WWTP is flow limited and Bear Creek itself is a small, sensitive stream, moving the Ingersoll-Rand discharge to the Dutchmans Creek facility provides an opportunity to reduce flows to Bear Creek and utilize the additional assimilative capacity of Dutchmans Creek. The Crestwood Farms Company (a poultry and pork cooking company) has asked for additional treatment capacity to support its plant expansion. A new Wal-Mart complex is also planned for the area. Crestwood Farms and the proposed Wal-Mart are directly tributary to �' the Dutchmans Creek Treatment Plant. pa 912104 Town of Mocksville's Dutchmans Creek WWTP Upgrade Page 1 of 21 am am The Bear Creek WWTP is an oxidation ditch type of facility constructed in 1983. The Dutchmans Creek WWTP is an extended aeration facility initially constructed in 1970 and expanded in 1983. The treatment facilities are in good condition and perform well. All sewer rights of way are well maintained and mowed frequently. The Town is well equipped to remediate the sewer system. The Town owns a sewer camera and smoke testing machine and is in the process of purchasing additional flow monitoring PON equipment for use in Inflow tracking and reduction. The Town also owns a full complement of sewer cleaning and construction equipment. mz' 1.2. Purpose and Need for Project The Bear Creek Plant is currently operating beyond its permitted capacity and is discharging r' to a small stream. The Ingersoll Rand Company requires additional capacity that the Bear Creek Plant is unable to provide at present. MCI The Crestwood Farms Company has requested additional capacity and discharges into the Dutchmans Creek collection system. A new Wal-Mart facility is proposed and would also discharge into the Dutchmans Creek collection system. The Dutchmans Creek WWTP is n currently operating at 83% of its rated capacity. NCDENR requires approval of construction drawings and a construction schedule when actual flow exceeds 90% of permitted plant Mn capacity. The Ingersoll Rand Company and Crestwood Farms International have both committed in F, writing to provide additional jobs if these wastewater capacity issues are resolved. The proposed improvements to the Town's wastewater treatment and collection system will work in conjunction to provide for more efficient treatment of wastes, as well as provide for present and future wastewater treatment capacity. In addition, the project will result in providing for future economic development. 2.0 ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED ACTION Alternative 1. Sewer Rehab for Inflow and Infiltration and no action for plant upgrade. Inflow and infiltration are issues that are being addressed in the system. However, even in dry conditions when Inflow and Infiltration are not a factor, the Bear Creek Plant is reaching capacity and cannot handle a substantial flow increase from the Ingersoll Rand facility because the receiving stream is fragile and flow limited. `m-' Regardless of the status of the Bear Creek WWTP, the Dutchmans Creek WWTP must be upgraded in order to provide for the projected needs from overall growth, the Crestwood Farms expansion and proposed new development. Alternative 2. Expansion of the Bear Creek Facility and the Dutchmans Creek Facility. Expanding both facilities without moving the Ingersoll discharge will increase flow to a stream PIP 912104 Town of Mocksville's Dutchmans Creek WWTP Upgrade Page 2 of 21 Oal 62:► that is receiving a wastewater load approximately 37% of its 7Q10. Regardless of environmental issues, providing a pump station and force main for an estimated construction cost of $160,000 is considerably less than providing a Bear Creek Treatment plant upgrade to 350,000 gpd at an estimated cost of $500,000, while also upgrading the Dutchmans creek plant at an estimated cost of $1,500,000. Alternative 3. Transferring the Ingersoll Rand wastewater from the Bear Creek WWTP to the `T' Dutchmans Creek WWTP and Expanding the Dutchmans Creek WWTP Facility. This alternative is more fully developed and is recommended. The option includes a pump station and force main to transfer the Ingersoll Rand wastewater and a 300,000-gallon upgrade to the Dutchmans Creek treatment plant. Table 2.1 provides a preliminary cost estimate for this option. The Dutchmans Creek treatment facility would be expanded approximately 50% by the addition of a treatment module similar to the other modules, which have performed well. Designs are in accordance with NCDENR and the Ten States standards, at least 24 hours of hydraulic detention will be provided in the aeration basin with 2-25 hp aerators. Clarification, chlorination and disinfection will be provided as in previous phases. Dechlorination will be provided. a Mq Zal This alternative will address the Town of Mocksville's long-term wastewater treatment capacity needs as well as the impact on Bear Creek. This alternative has an estimated cost of $1,685,000. The proposed expansion of the Dutchmans Creek WWTP will be conducted within the confines of the existing property, thereby minimizing environmental disturbance. The construction of the pump station will occur on the property owned by Ingersoll-Rand, and the associated force main will be in the Town of Mocksville's street rights of way.

Land Use 3.1.1. General Land Use The proposed Town of Mocksville Dutchmans Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade consists of expanding the hydraulic capacity of the Dutchmans Creek WWTP from .680 mgd to .980 mgd, as well as the installation of a pump station and associated �+ force main to transfer the categorical discharge from Ingersoll Rand from the Bear Creek Basin to the Dutchmans Creek basin. The WWTP upgrade and expansion will occur at the existing WWTP site, the pump station installation will occur at the Ingersoll Rand site on Sanford Avenue with its associated force main being run to East Maple Avenue to tie into the Dutchmans Creek collection system. The Town of Mocksville and Davie County have zoning ordinances and land use plans. The area immediately surrounding the existing Dutchmans Creek WWTP is zoned Residential/Agricultural. The area surrounding the treatment plant is open field and Oct VM 912104 Town of Mocksvllle's Dutchman Creek WWTP Upgrade Page 4 of 21 am fm pasture. The site of the pump station installation is a large industrial property and the 0=4 associated force main will be installed in the Town of Mocksville's street rights of way. The Town of Mocksville owns the property where the existing WWTP in located which is an eight -acre tract off Garwood Road. However, due to the layout of the existing WWTP, the Town will need to purchase three -fourths of an acre of land to accommodate this upgrade. Ingersoll-Rand owns the property where the pump station will be installed which is a one hundred thirty two -acre tract in the Town of Mocksville. The force main will be run in the Town of Mocksville's street rights of way. f' The proposed project will not directly result in changes in land use. Increased wastewater treatment capacity, however, may result in increased commercial and awl residential development in the system's service area. 3.1.2. Important Farmland, Prime Rangeland, and Forestland '=' 3.1.2.1. Affected Environment The proposed Town of Mocksville Dutchmans Creek WWTP Upgrade consists of two project elements at two separate locations. The WWTP upgrade and expansion element will be conducted at the site of the current WWTP. The site covers approximately eight acres, with approximately two acres already developed. The expansion is expected to result in approximately one acre being developed. Due to the layout of the existing plant, the Town will need to purchase about three -fourths of an acre of land to accommodate this upgrade. Soils on the site consist of Gaston loam, Enon, Mecklenburg, and Chewacla soils. The site is owned by the Town of Mocksville and is not currently used for agricultural or forestry purposes. Portions of the Davie County Soil Survey are included as Figure 4 and Figure 5 in appendix I. The proposed installation of the pump station will occur at the property owned by Ingersoll-Rand and located on Sanford Avenue in Mocksville and will not disturb any farmland, forest land or rangeland. The proposed force main will be installed in the Town of Mocksville's street rights of way. M1 3.1.2.2. Environmental Consequences 3.1.2.2.1. Direct Impacts �+ The proposed Town of Mocksville's Dutchmans Creek WWTP upgrade will not have any direct impact of important farmland, prime forestland, or prime rangeland. The project will result in approximately one acre being developed for expansion of the existing WWTP. NQ Pq 912104 Town of Mocksville's Dutchman Creek WWTP Upgrade Page 5 of 21 as p' 3.1.2.2.2. Indirect Impacts The proposed Town of Mocksville's Dutchmans Creek WWTP upgrade will increase the systems wastewater treatment capacity, thereby allowing for future development in the systems service area. The primary service area is in the Town of Mocksville ETJ district, which is urbanized. Since locations of future development (if any) are unknown, it is impossible to determine future impacts of the proposed project on important farmland, prime forestland, or prime rangeland. However, it should be noted that no additional service lines are included in this project. 3.1.2.2.3. Cumulative Impacts R The cumulative impact of the proposed Town of Mocksville's Dutchmans Creek Fm WWTP upgrade on important farmland, prime forestland, or prime rangeland cannot be determined. Development in the surrounding area that may impact important farmland, prime forest land, or prime rangeland is not dependant on the Sm proposed project, and therefore cannot be attributed to the project. on 3.1.2.3. Mitigation Since the proposed project will not have a direct impact on important farmland, prime forestland, or prime rangeland, no mitigation measures are proposed. 3.1.3. Formally Classified Lands M 3.1.3.1. Affected Environment M Mq According to the United States Department of the Interior there are no National Park Lands in Davie County. According to the North Carolina Division of Parks and Recreation there are no North Carolina State Park lands in Davie County. The proposed Town of Mocksville's Dutchmans Creek WWTP Upgrade will not affect any formally classified lands. 3.1.3.2. Environmental Consequences 3.1.3.2.1. Direct Impacts The proposed Town of Mocksville's Dutchmans Creek WWTP upgrade will not have any direct impact on formally classified lands. 912104 Town of Mocksville's Dutchman Creek WWTP Upgrade Page 6 of 21 MR MIR M 3.1.3.2.2. Indirect Impacts The proposed Town of Mocksville's Dutchmans Creek WWTP upgrade will not rM have any indirect impact on formally classified lands. 3.1.3.2.3. Cumulative Impacts There are no formally classified lands within Davie County so there will be no cumulative impact of the proposed Town of Mocksville's Dutchmans Creek WWTP upgrade. 3.1.3.3. Mitigation Since the proposed project will not have a direct impact on formally classified lands, no mitigation measures are proposed. 3.2. Floodplains 3.2.1. Affected Environment There are no detailed Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Maps available for the sites in question. However a review of the generic maps reveal a portion of the site where the WWTP is located is within the 100-year flood plain. ,a, However, the WWTP itself is located outside of the flood plain. FR pq The proposed site of the new pump station is located within the Town of Mocksville, which is not mapped by the FEMA program. However, a review of the appropriate USGS topographic map (Mocksville Quadrangle circa 1969) indicated the flood plain to be at an elevation of 725 feet approximately 1800 feet downstream from the pump station site. The top of the pump station is at an elevation of 750. The installation of the force main, however, will cross a small wet weather ditch tributary to Bear Creek. The FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps covering the project are Community -Panel Number 370308 0100 C. A portion of the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map is included as Figure 6 in Appendix I. There will be no land disturbance conducted within the floodplain. The improvements at the WWTP and the installation of the force main will not result in any new development in the floodplain. Mq 912104 Town of Mocksville's Dutchmans Creek WWTP Upgrade Page 7 of 21 OP OR MM 3.2.2. Environmental Consequences 3.2.2.1. Direct Impacts Pq There will be no direct impact of the Town of Mocksville's Dutchmans Creek WWTP upgrade on floodplains. Therefore, a FEMA 81-93 Standard Flood Hazard Determination Form is not included. 3.2.2.2. Indirect Impacts The Town of Mocksville and Davie County both have ordinances in place which prohibit development within the flood plain area. This project will create additional wastewater treatment capacity for the Town, which could enable the extension of new collection lines. Floodways could be crossed with transmission lines, but no other r, development would be permitted. 3.2.2.3. Cumulative Impacts The cumulative impacts of the Town of Mocksville's Dutchmans Creek WWTP upgrade on floodplains will be possible future installation of interceptor sewer mains. 3.2.3. Mitigation To discourage new development in the floodplain the Town of Mocksville and Davie County have ordinances prohibiting the construction of buildings in the floodplain. To mitigate any impacts to water quality while construction activities are taking place, the Town of Mocksville will employ appropriate sedimentation and erosion control measures during construction of the project. 3.3. Wetlands r, 3.3.1. Affected Environment Based upon USDA—NRCS Soil Survey for Davie County the soil at the site of the FM Dutchmans Creek WWTP is Gaston loam with Enon and Mecklenburg soils. A narrow band of Chewacla loam exists along the bank of Dutchman Creek. The existing facilities are located out of the floodplain, which contains the Chewacla soils. The proposed RR expansion is also planned to be outside of the floodplain and Chewacla soil band. A site visit was conducted by Grey Engineering to identify possible wetlands areas. No identified wetlands areas will be impacted by the proposed Dutchmans Creek WWTP Pq upgrade. MR 912104 Town of Mocksville's Dutchmans Creek WWTP Upgrade Page 8 of 21 am am r' 3.3.2. Environmental Consequences 3.3.2.1. Direct Impacts ral The Town of Mocksville's Dutchmans Creek WWTP upgrade will not impact any identified wetlands. Therefore, no Section 404 Encroachment permit from the US rm Army Corps of Engineers will be required. 3.3.2.2. Indirect Impacts There will be no indirect impacts to identified wetlands associated with this project. M 3.3.2.3. Cumulative Impacts Fm There will be no cumulative impacts to identified wetlands associated with this project M 3.3.3. Mitigation The Town of Mocksville has approximately six acres available at this site for development. All available measures will be taken to minimize disturbances. 3.4. Cultural Resources Mm 3.4.1. Affected Environment The proposed Town of Mocksville Dutchmans Creek WWTP upgrade project consists of 001 two project elements occurring at separate locations. The WWTP upgrade will be conducted at the site of the current WWTP. The site covers approximately eight acres, with approximately two acres already developed. The expansion is expected to result in approximately one acre being developed. The proposed pump station will occur on the one hundred thirty two -acre tract owned by Ingersoll-Rand. Plans for the pump station and associated force main were submitted to the NC Department of Cultural Resources' State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). Archeological resources were not identified during previous construction phases in 1970 and 1983. With the close proximity of the planned expansion to the existing structures, no archeological resources are anticipated. 3.4.2. Environmental Consequences 3.4.3. Direct Impacts Based upon correspondence with the NC Department of Cultural Resources' State OW1 Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) regarding the pump station and associated force main, no properties of architectural, historic, of archaeological significance will be om Z2 912104 Town of Mocksville's Dutchmans Creek WWTP Upgrade Page 9 of 21 am OR affected by the project. Correspondence from the NC Department of Cultural 004 Resources' SHPO is included in Appendix II. In addition, due to the low level of new structures proposed at the WWTP and location '� of the project in an isolated, low-lying area approximately four miles from the Town of Mocksville, there will be no impacts to visual aesthetics. Simi 3.4.3.1. Indirect Impacts The Town of Mocksville's Dutchmans Creek WWTP upgrade will have no indirect impacts on cultural resources 3.4.3.2. Cumulative Impacts No cumulative impacts to cultural resources are anticipated from this project. rm 3.4.4. Mitigation S, If any archaeological materials such as stone projectile points, ceramic shards, bricks, or human skeletal remains are encountered prior to or during construction of this project, activities will be ceased and the State Historic Preservation Office will be notified. The Val contract for project construction (the EJCDC — Funding Agency Edition) will include this requirement. rl 3.5. Biological Resources 3.5.1. Affected Environment The Town of Mocksville's Dutchmans Creek WWTP upgrade Project will result in approximately one acre of land disturbance at the existing WWTP site. The WWTP discharges directly into Dutchmans Creek. Vegetation in the project area includes low-lying weeds and grasses. Wildlife in the area includes whitetail deer, opossum, turkey, chipmunk, raccoon, and squirrel. There are two species thought to exist in southern Davie County that are currently listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 as amended (see Appendix II for Table 1). They are the Bog Turtle (Glyptemys muhlenbergil), a federally threatened species and Michaux's Sumac (Rhus michauxif), a federally endangered low shrub. The Bog Turtle has not been seen in Davie County, but it is noted here as suitable habitat in considered being available. Michaux's Sumac has been found in northern Davie County. There is a sufficient amount of variation in habitat preference that this species might occur in shrubby or wooded sites. No Michaux's Sumac has been seen in southern Davie County but is noted here as it is the only federally listed species that warrants attention. 912104 Town of Mocksville's Dutchman Creek WWTP Upgrade Page 10 of 21 am W) 3.5.2. Environmental Consequences 3.5.2.1. Direct Impacts The direct impacts of the project on biological resources will the be protection of water quality and aquatic life in Bear Creek as a result of the reduced risk associated with the re-routing of Ingersoll-Rand's categorical effluent. Requests were sent to the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission as well as the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Water Quality. Correspondence from these agencies is included in Appendix II. Mn 3.5.2.2. Indirect Impacts Completion of the project will increase the Town's wastewater treatment capacity. Pal This will allow for future growth in and around the Town of Mocksville. However, future growth cannot be directly linked to the project, and is expected to occur regardless of the project. Increased development could result in loss of wildlife habitat. There are no known threatened or endangered species in that area of Davie County. M 3.5.2.3. Cumulative Impacts The cumulative impacts of the Town of Mocksville's Dutchmans Creek WWTP upgrade will be permanent development of one acre at the existing WWTP site, and the installation of a pump station on the property owned by Ingersoll-Rand, along with its associated force main. Mn 3.5.3. Mitigation rm To minimize the impacts of the project on biological resources, the following mitigation measures will be taken during construction activities. Mn am • Appropriate sedimentation and erosion control measures will be taken to prevent impact to surface waters. • If endangered or threatened species are discovered during construction of this project, construction activities will be ceased and notification sent to the NC Wildlife Resources Commission, and the NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources. The contract for project construction (EJCDC — Funding Agency Edition) will include this requirement. P4 912104 Town of Mocksville's Dutchman Creek WWTP Upgrade Page 11 of 21 OA r' 3.6. Water Quality Issues 3.6.1. Affected Environment The Town of Mocksville's Dutchmans Creek WWTP upgrade is scheduled in part to protect the water quality of both Dutchmans Creek and Bear Creek. The project consists of redirecting the discharge from Ingersoll-Rand from the Bear Creek system to the Dutchmans Creek system, and expanding the capacity of the Dutchmans Creek WWTP. These improvements will protect water quality by reducing the risk in Bear Creek, which is Mn a small and fragile ecosystem, and by increasing the treatment capacity of the Dutchmans Creek WWTP, allowing it to use the larger assimilative capacity of Dutchmans Creek. The majority of Dutchmans Creek in Davie County is classified as 'C' with the exception of the source lake, which is classified as 'B' and the last nine -tenths miles prior to discharging into the Yadkin River, which is classified as 'WS/IV'. Class C waters are protected for secondary recreation, fishing, wildlife, fish and aquatic r-M life propagation and survival, agricultural and other uses suitable for Class C. Secondary recreation includes wading, boating, and other uses involving human body contact with water where such activities take place in an infrequent, unorganized, or incidental manner. ,m There are no restrictions on watershed development or types of discharges. rwn 3.6.2. Environmental Consequences 3.6.2.1. Direct Impacts Pq The direct impact of the Town of Mocksville's Dutchmans Creek WWTP upgrade will be the protection of water quality in Bear Creek as a result of decreasing the risk of the categorical effluent from Ingersoll-Rand to the Bear Creek WWTP. Currently Bear Creek has a loading of 37% from the WWTP (based on a permitted flow of .250 mgd and a 7Q10 of .675 mgd). The re-routing of the Ingersoll-Rand categorical effluent will help to attenuate the risk to Bear Creek associated with this waste stream. rMn Dutchmans Creek is currently loaded at 7%(based on a permitted flow of .680 mgd and a 7Q10 of 9.69 mgd). There will be an increase in the volume of effluent from the Dutchmans Creek WWTP as a result of the expansion, a portion of which will be the redirection of the Ingersoll-Rand flow. This will increase the loading in Dutchmans Creek to 10%. The larger assimilative capacity of Dutchmans Creek will also serve to attenuate the risk associated with the categorical effluent from Ingersoll-Rand. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission in response to the State Clearing '� house raised a concern regarding possible toxicity issues with moving the Ingersoll- Rand discharge from the Bear Creek basin to the Dutchmans Creek basin, specifically problems associated with Dissolved Oxygen and Fecal Coliform. A review of the DMR Op OR 912104 Town of Mocksville's Dutchmans Creek WWTP Upgrade Page 12 of 21 am am data for the past several years indicates no problems with either of these constituents. P4 The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission also mentioned a toxicity problem. Modifications have been made to the pretreatment process at Ingersoll-Rand and toxicity results indicate acceptable levels (the test gives only pass/fail results) for the past two years. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission response also noted that they "generally recommend conversion from chlorine and de -chlorination to ozonation or ultra -violet disinfection processes for WWTPs". While this technology is appropriate MI for the construction of new plants, or major expansions, the proposed expansion of Dutchmans Creek WWTP is a minor one (only 300,000 gpd). The operations staff is comfortable with the use of chlorine and de -chlorination, and ozonation and/or ultra- violet disinfection is not currently in use anywhere in the Town of Mocksville's system. Based upon these mitigating circumstances, and the fact that the NCWRC only lists this as a general recommendation, the use of this technology is not deemed f economically feasible for this particular application. Potential impacts to water quality during construction of the project consist of FM sedimentation from on -site soil erosion. 3.6.2.2. Indirect Impacts Indirect impact of the project on water quality consists of increased effluent from the Dutchmans Creek WWTP discharged to Dutchmans Creek. This will occur as normal �, growth occurs in the Town of Mocksville's sewer system service area. Also the project will allow for increased development in the Town's sewer service area. This development may result in increased area of impervious surfaces that may affect water quality through non -point source pollution. 3.6.2.3. Cumulative Impacts The cumulative impacts of the project will be a reduced level of risk associated with the categorical effluent being discharged from Ingersoll-Rand. There will also be an rM impact to Dutchmans Creek of increased effluent as a result of normal growth occurring in and around the Town of Mocksville. M 3.6.3. Mitigation Construction activities associated with the project will be performed using appropriate r' sedimentation and erosion control measures to avoid or minimize the impact of sediment being transported into Dutchmans Creek. A sedimentation and erosion control plan will be developed and submitted to the North Carolina Department of Environment and ""' Natural Resources' Division of Land Resources for review and permitting. All other construction activities will utilize best management practices. M, I�Sl 912104 Town of Mocksville's Dutchmans Creek WWTP Upgrade Page 13 of 21 osw 3.7. Coastal Issues There are no coastal issues as the project is located in Davie County, which is not a coastal county. 3.8. Socio-Economic Issues/Environmental Justice '92' 3.8.1. Affected Environment Based on 2000 U.S. Census data, the Town of Mocksville has a population of 4178. The Mn total minority population is 997, or 24%. The percentage of persons living below the poverty level is 12%. Portions of the 2000 U.S. Census are included in Appendix III. Mn The proposed project will result in system wide improvements, and does not include construction elements (i.e., sewer line extensions) that will serve site -specific areas in Mocksville. The Dutchmans Creek WWTP is located outside the Town of Mocksville in a relatively unpopulated area. O, 3.8.2. Environmental Consequences 3.8.2.1. Direct Impacts The project will result in system wide improvements, and does not include sewer line extensions. There will be new jobs created by two major industries already located in OZ, the area that will provide employment opportunities to the residents. These are existing industries who have committed to expanding their work force if the Town of Mocksville can provide the increase wastewater treatment capacity to support the r� additional operations. 3.8.2.2. Indirect Impacts n The project will provide for adequate wastewater treatment capacity to serve future growth in Mocksville. The Town of Mocksville will not base decisions on new connections to the system on race or income levels. The project's resultant increase in wastewater treatment capacity has been tied to the pq addition of jobs at two large industrial firms in the area. Also, the additional treatment capacity has the potential to encourage additional economic development in the sewer system area. This will have a positive impact on the area in the form of increased tax r, base and new jobs. r--;l 912104 Town of Mocksville's Dutchmans Creek WWTP Upgrade Page 14 of 21 `W 3.8.2.3. Cumulative Impacts The cumulative impact of the project on the social and economic condition in the Town of Mocksville will be the additional jobs committed to by the two local industries plus the anticipated economic development in the Town's sewer service area. rml 3.8.3. Mitigation MI There are no mitigation measures necessary for impacts to socio-economic conditions associated with the project. n 3.9. Miscellaneous 3.9.1. Air Quality 3.9.1.1. Affected Environment The proposed Town of Mocksville Dutchmans Creek WWTP upgrade project consists of two project elements occurring at separate locations. The WWTP upgrade will be conducted at the site of the current WWTP. The site covers approximately eight r, acres, with approximately two acres already developed. The expansion is expected to result in approximately one acre being developed. The proposed pump station will occur on the property owned by Ingersoll-Rand. The associated force main will be installed in the Town of Mocksville's street rights of way. 3.9.1.1.1. Environmental Consequences 3.9.1.1.1.1. Direct Impacts The direct impact of the project on air quality will be temporary increases in dust and exhaust emissions from construction equipment. Also, approximately one acre will be disturbed at the WWTP site for development. r -, 3.9.1.1.1.2. Indirect Impacts M The project's resultant increase in wastewater treatment capacity has the potential to encourage development in the sewer system service area. This development may lead to an increase in vehicle emissions and emissions from industries. M 912104 Town of Mocksville's Dutchman Creek WWTP Upgrade Page 15 of 21 ap Ock 3.9.1.1.1.3. Cumulative Impacts The cumulative impacts of the project on air quality area temporary increase in `M dust and exhaust emissions from construction equipment and a possible increase in automobile and industrial emissions associated with future growth. 3.9.1.2. Mitigation flwl Due to the minimal impact during construction, and the small size of the construction sites, no air quality mitigation measures are feasible. 3.9.2. Transportation 3.9.2.1. Affected Environment The proposed Town of Mocksville Dutchmans Creek WWTP upgrade project consists of two project elements occurring at separate locations. The WWTP upgrade will be conducted at the site of the current WWTP. The site covers approximately eight acres, with approximately two acres already developed. The expansion is expected to result in approximately one acre being developed. The proposed pump station will occur on the property owned by Ingersoll-Rand. The associated force main will be installed in the Town of Mocksville's street rights of way. 3.9.2.1.1. Environmental Consequences 3.9.2.1.1.1. Direct Impacts The construction activities associated with the WWTP upgrade element of the project will not have a significant impact on traffic as the current site is outside M the Town of Mocksville, and is located on a remote site off a dead end road. The Installation of the pump station will also not have a significant impact on traffic as the location is on an industrial site. The associated force main will be installed in the Town of Mocksville street rights of way. The force main installation will result in minor traffic delays. Street crossings will be bored and jacked to reduce the impact on traffic. No streets will be closed during the construction phase of the project. 3.9.2.1.1.2. Indirect Impacts The project's resultant increase in wastewater capacity, plus the additional jobs committed to by local industry, have the potential to encourage additional economic development in the sewer system service area. This development may lead to an increase in traffic in the area. Also the addition of the proposed Mq 9/2/44 Town of Mocksville's Dutchman Creek WWTP Upgrade Page 16 of 21 Wal-Mart development would increase traffic. This is being addressed with NCDOT. 3.9.2.1.1.3. Cumulative Impacts The cumulative impacts of the project to transportation are some temporary traffic delays associated with the installation of the force main and possible increases in traffic associated with future economic development. 3.9.2.2. Mitigation Since transportation impacts associated with the project are expected to be minor and temporary, no mitigation efforts are planned. r' 3.9.3. Noise 3.9.3.1. Affected Environment The proposed Town of Mocksville Dutchmans Creek WWTP upgrade project consists of two project elements occurring at separate locations. The WWTP upgrade will be conducted at the site of the current WWTP. The site covers approximately eight acres, with approximately two acres already developed. The expansion is expected to result in approximately one acre being developed. The proposed pump station will occur on the one hundred thirty two -acre tract owned by Ingersoll-Rand. The associated force main will be installed in the Town of Mocksville's street rights of way. 3.9.3.1.1. Environmental Consequences r., 3.9.3.1.1.1. Direct Impacts Mn During the construction of the project, there will be a temporary increase in noise in the construction areas. The impact will be greater during the force main installation portion of the project as that work will be performed within the Town of Mocksville. Noise impacts during construction activities at the WWTP site will be minimal due to its remote location in a sparsely populated area outside the Town. Noise impacts during construction activities at the pump station location will also be minimal due to its proximity to the industrial plant and the buffering effect of the buildings. 912104 Town of Mocksville's Dutchmans Creek WWTP Upgrade Page 17 of 21 Noise impact after construction will be from increased blower capacity at the WWTP. The impact of the blowers is not deemed to be significant due to the remote location of the WWTP in a largely unpopulated area. 3.9.3.1.1.2. Indirect Impacts There will be no significant increase in noise attributed to this project. 3.9.3.1.1.3. Cumulative Impacts Rn The cumulative noise impacts of this project will be a temporary increase in noise levels during construction 3.9.3.2. Mitigation Construction activities will be limited to daylight hours, Monday through Friday to r' minimize the impact to the surrounding areas. rV 04 r.� n M M M rn rA OR M 912104 Town of Mocksville's Dutchman Creek WWTP Upgrade Page 18 of 21 OR as 4.0 SUMMARY OF MITIGATION The following mitigation measures will be taken during construction of the project to minimize environmental impacts: • A Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan for construction activities planned at the WWTP site will be prepared and submitted to the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources' Division of Land Resources for review and permitting.

MEMORANDUM TO: Melba McGee, Legislative and Intergovernmental Affairs — Dept. of Environment and Natural Resources FROM: Ron Linville, Regional Coordina[ Habitat Conservation Program DATE: January 28, 2003 SUBJECT: State Clearinghouse Project No. 03-0202, Town of Mocksville and Ingersoll-Rand Pump Station and Force Main. Department of Commence - Community Development Block Grant Request, Davie County This correspondence responds to a request by you for our review and comments — on the Environmental Assessment (EA) for the referenced grant for sewer collcetion transfer station improvements. These comments are provided in accordance with the provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 ., U.S.C. 661-667d.) and the North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (G.S. 113A-1 through 113A-10; 1 NCAC 25). — The Town of Mocksville proposes to install a pump station and sewer line to transfer wastewater to the Dutchmans Creek wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). This wastewater is currently produced by Ingersoll-Rand and pretreated before being discharged to the Bear Creek WWTP. Ingersoll-Rand is contributing 60,000 gallons per - day of pretreated wastewater pius 36,000 gallons per day of remediation waters to the Bear Creek WWTP. This industrial discharge may contribute to toxicity problems. Bear Creek WWTP is under a toxicity moratorium. Ingersoll-Rand desires to expand operations, add 60 new jobs and increase pretreatment wastewater volume by 70,000 gallons per day. The Town is requesting $720,000.00 in public grants in order to transfer Ingersoll-Rand's wastewater from the Bear Creek WWTP (0.25 MGD) to the Dutchmans Creek WWTP (0.681 MGD). The submittal indicates that the transfer would "serve to lift the moratorium off' the Bear Creek WWTP. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission has not been informed as to whether or not the proposed transfer would improve or degrade aquatic habitat conditions in Bear Creek or Dutchmans Creek. The Dutchman's Creek WWTP may provide additional dilution of the Ingersoll-Rand pretreated wastewater effluent. It is our Mailing Address: Division of Inland Fisheries • 1721 Mail Service Center • Raleigh, NC 27699-1721 Telephone. (919) 733-3633 ext. 281 • Fax: (919) 713-76 ' Mocksville/Ingersoll-Rand 2 January 28, 2003 Transfer Station CBDG Mm understanding that Dutchman Creek has fecal coliform problems and also significant dissolved oxygen (DO) problems that may be associated with the WWTP discharge. We are concerned that the transfer (with or without requested additional flows) may simply shift a toxicity or pollution problem from one aquatic ecosystem to another. Therefore, we recommend that the Town of Mocksville and Ingersoll-Rand provide toxicity testing for various concentrations of pretreated effluent with Dutchmans Creek WWTP wastewater to determine what impacts may occur prior to public fund issuance. These tests should incorporate anticipated industrial flow increases. Information gained from toxicity testing should be used to reduce effluent and toxicity problems and improve wastewater discharge characteristics. Testing activities should follow toxicity modeling and sampling protocols established by the NC Division of Water Quality. As public funds are being requested to subsidize a private industrial expansion, pretreatment improvements should be provided at Ingersoll-Rand to further alleviate toxicity and effluent problems. The NCWRC generally recommends conversion from chlorine and de -chlorination to ozonation or ultra -violet disinfection processes for WWTPs, especially in slow moving creeks and small streams. Providing that Division of Water Quality toxicity sampling and testing protocols determine that the transfer will not simply move toxicity or wastewater problems from Bear Creek to Dutchman Creek, we will not object to the use of Community Development Block Grant public funds. However, if toxicity or other pollutants will contribute to or exasperate water quality in Dutchmans Creek, we request the opportunity to reconsider the project based on any new information. As appropriatc, we will review construction plans for the pump station and appurtenances during the 404 Permitting or �► -'.01 Certification process.

Table 1. List of Federally Threatened or Endangered Species of Davie County, North Carolina (data from H. E. LeGrand, S. E. McRae, S. P. Hall and J. T. Finnegan. 2004.

It has not been seen in Davie County, but suitable habitat is considered to be available. The southern population of Bog Turtle in our region is considered threatened only because of its similarity of appearance (S/A) to r, the northern segment of the population of the species, which does not occur here. Michaux's Sumac (Rhus michauxir), a federally endangered low shrub of mesic to xeric sandy or Po, rocky open woodlands occasionally subject to disturbances such as irregular mowing (not usually road shoulders, but possibly on shrubby road embankments), fire or forestry practices, currently is known to occur in the Mocksville 7.5' US Geological Survey quadrangle of Davie w" %r e1 County. There is a sufficient amount of variation in habitat preference that this species might can occur in shrubby or wooded sites. It is the only federally listed species, which warrants attention. Within Davie County as a whole, there are additional natural elements with significance at the federal level. Species with an FSC federal status do not technically fall within the domain of the Endangered Species Act. They are still being evaluated for inclusion under the Endangered Species Act. The Redhorse (Moxostoma robustum), a creek fish, is under review by the US Fish M-1 and Wildlife Service, but not yet listed federally because of lack of information. Other species that may be found in Davie County which fall into this category are Yellow Lampmussel (Lampsilis cariosa), a mollusk; Cherokee Clubtail (Gomphus consanguis), a dragonfly; Creamy Tick -trefoil (Desmodium ochroleucum), a flowering plant; and Carolina Birdfoot-trefoil (Lotus hellen), a flowering plant.
