RE: NWP 12 Application; King's Bluff Pump Station
Bladen County, NC
Dear Ronnie:
Enclosed is a NWP 12 application for your review. This application is submitted on behalf of the
Lower Cape Fear Water and Sewer Authority for the installation of a 60-inch water intake pipe at the
existing King's Bluff Pump Station in Bladen County, NC. This pipe is part of a capacity upgrade at the
pump station to account for increased water demands resulting from recent population growth in coastal
North Carolina. The intake pipe will be approximately 1,100 LF in length and will extend from the Cape
Fear River to the pump station. Approximately 800 LF of piping will traverse wetlands with a 40' wide
construction corridor, resulting in approximately 0.721 acres of temporary wetland impacts. In addition,
approximately 0.222 acre of open water within the Cape Fear River will be temporarily impacted. The
applicant plans to maintain a 10' corridor. To mitigate for these impacts, the applicant will buy into the NC
EEP for 0.25 acre of riparian wetland restoration and place a portion of wetlands located on site into
preservation.
The Pre-Construction Notification form, associated maps, and site plan are enclosed for your
review. In addition, a copy of the project's draft Environmental Assessment is enclosed. This EA has
undergone initial review by state agencies. Several agencies provided comments and Emily McArthur with
McKim and Creed has responded to these comments. Please contact me if you have any questions. Thank
you for your assistance with this project.
Sincerely, t
Kim Williams

III. Project Information
Attach a vicinity map clearly showing the location of the property with respect to local
landmarks such as towns, rivers, and roads. Also provide a detailed site plan showing property
boundaries and development plans in relation to surrounding properties. Both the vicinity map
and site plan must include a scale and north arrow. The specific footprints of all buildings,
impervious surfaces, or other facilities must be included. If possible, the maps and plans should
include the appropriate USGS Topographic Quad Map and NRCS Soil Survey with the property
boundaries outlined. Plan drawings, or other maps may be included at the applicant's discretion,
so long as the property is clearly defined. For administrative and distribution purposes, the
USACE requires information to be submitted on sheets no larger than 11 by 17-inch format;
however, DWQ may accept paperwork of any size. DWQ prefers full-size construction
drawings rather than a sequential sheet version of the full-size plans. If full-size plans are
reduced to a small scale such that the final version is illegible, the applicant will be informed that
the project has been placed on hold until decipherable maps are provided.
