The Application provides adequate assurance that the discharge of fill material into a wetlands area adjacent to the waters of Dan River in conjunction with the proposed erosion control project in Rockingham County will not result in a violation of applicable water Quality Standards and discharge guidelines. Therefore, the State of North Carolina certifies that this activity will not violate Sections 301, 302, 303, 306, 307 of PL 92-500 and PL 95-217 if conducted in accordance with the application and conditions hereinafter set forth. Condition(s) of Certification: 1. That the activity be conducted in such a manner as to prevent significant increase in turbidity outside the area of construction or construction related discharge (increases such that the turbidity in the Stream is 50 NTU's or less are not considered significant). 2. Graded areas not covered by the rip-rap material should be quickly stabilized to prevent additional erosion. 3. The discharge outfall line of the wastewater treatment plant should be protected from damage during the construction activity. Violations of any condition herein set forth shall result in revocation of this Certification. This Certification shall became null and void unless the above conditions are made conditions of the Federal Permit. This the 3rd day of September, 1987.

The fill material consists of washed stone and rip-rap, so its deposition should not increase stream turbidity. The current erosion of the bank is a significant threat to the WWTP. The work should be conducted in a manner that will minimize disturbance to the floodplain area outside the existing levee. Any graded areas should be quickly stabilized to prevent stream sedimentation. The outfall line from the treatment plant should be protected from damage during construction. DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY Wilmington District, Corps of Engineers PO Box 1890 Wilmington, North Carolina 28402-1890 CESAW-PD-E-87-N-079-001 August 6, 1987 PUBLIC NOTICE DAN RIVER - MADISON WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT SECTION 14 STREAMBANK EROSION CONTROL PROJECT ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: The Wilmington District, Corps of Engineers, Wilmington, North Carolina, plans to stabilize 500 feet of riverbank adjacent to the Madison Wastewater Treatment Plant, Rockingham County, North Carolina. The Federal project has been reviewed under the following: 1. Clean Water Act of 1977, as amended (P.L. 95-217). 2. The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (42 U.S.C. 4321-4347). 3. The Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956 (16 U.S.C. 472a at seq.), the Migratory Marino Game-Fish Act (16 U.S.C. 760e-760g), and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (16 U.S.C. 661-666c). 4. The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (80 Stat. 915, 16 U.S.C. 470). 5. The Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. 6. Executive Order 11990, Protection of Wetlands, May 24, 1977. 7. Executive Order 11988, Flood Plain Management, May 24, 1977. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Madison Wastewater Treatment Plant is located on the west bank of the Dan River. The plant is about 3,500 feet upstream from the confluenco of the Dan and Mayo Rivers. The vertical distance from the top of the riverbank to the riverbed is about 12 feet. The too of the bank protection will be tied into the existing stroambed and extended to the present top of the bank. A maintenance berm of at least 15 feet will extend fray the top of the riprapped surface to the too of the existing levee. A 3- by 3-foot riprap toe will be placed along the base of the protection. See enclosed figures 1-3. The riprap protection will be placed along 500 linear feet of stream- bank. The upstream limit of the project is at the right-of-way of the Duke Power Company electric line at station 6+00. The downstream limit is in line with the corner of the levee at station 1+00. The streambank will be graded and stabilized for a distance of 500 feet to a 2.5-horizontal to 1-vertical slope. Fill material will consist of a layer of geotextile filter fabric, 2,200 cubic yards of granular fill, and 3,200 square yards of riprap. The exact amount of material to be placed in the water cannot be accurately determined due to fluctuations in the water level of the Dan River. The proposed fill is scheduled to begin September 30, 1987, contingent upon receiving funding, and will take approximately 2 months to complete. However, since no restrictions on timing exist, work may be performed any time of the year. Maintenance will be the responsibility of the local government as project sponsor. The only development near the proposed work is the Madison Wastewater Treatment Plant. A Section 401 (P.L. 95-217) Water Quality Certificate has been requested from the N.C. Division of Environmental Management. A Section 404(b)(1) (P.L. 95-217) evaluation has been prepared. The proposed work will.be performed under the emergency streambank erosion provisions of Section 14 of the 1946 Flood Control Act, as amended. An Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact have been prepared for the proposed work and have been sent to local, State, and Federal agencies and the interested public for information only (see attached list). No practicable alternative to performing the work within the flood plain of the Dan River exists. All practicable steps have been taken to minimize any adverse impacts likely to occur to the flood plain. Designation of the proposed disposal site for fill material associated with the Federal project shall be made through the application of guidelines promulgated by the Administrator, Environmental Protection Agency, in conjunction with the Secretary of the Army. If theso guidelines alone prohibit the designation of the proposed site, any potential impairment to the maintenance of navigation, including any economic impact on navigation and anchorage which would result from failure to use the disposal site, will also be considered. This public notice is being distributed to all known interested persons in order to assist them in making a decision with respect to the disposal of fill materials in waters of the United States. For accuracy and completeness of record, all data in support of, or in opposition to, the proposed work should be submitted in writing, setting forth sufficient detail to support positions taken. Any person who has an interest which may be affected by the disposal of this fill material may request a public hearing. The request must be submitted in writing to 2 the District Engineer within 15 days of the date of this notice and must clearly set forth the interest which may be affected and the manner in which the interest may be affected by this activity. In order for such request to be given appropriate consideration, it should be mailed or delivered.to the U.S. Army Engineer District, Wilmington, 2torth Carolina 28402-1890, in time to be received on or before August 31, 1987. All correspondence should refer to the number and date of this notice. CSORCE T. LURCH EX, !-HIVE ASSISTANT r SWA • John F.
