US 321/NC 10 Interchange Sewer System
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The US 32I NC 10 Interchange Sewer System project consists of the following improvements:
¦ Approximately 2,740 feet of 8-inch gravity sewer along NC 10. This sewer will convey wastewater
from the area around the US 321/NC 10 interchange and will be located within the North Carolina
Department of Transportation's NC 10 right-of-way.
¦ Approximately 7,240 feet of 18-inch ravi sewer along the South Fork Catawba River from NC 10 to
the location of the proposed pump station. The new 18-inch gravity sewer will serve the areas on both
sides of the South Fork Catawba River.
¦ Approximately 13,500 feet of 8-inch force main along a tributary of the South Fork Catawba River
from the proposed South Fork pump station to an existing pump station. The new 8-inch force main
will convey wastewater to the existing Westside pump station near Betts Branch.
¦ Approximately 1,200 feet of 4-inch force main along Startown Road. The 4-inch force main will
convey wastewater from the proposed Startown Road Elementary School pump station to the proposed
8-inch force main.
¦ South Fork Pump Station. The South Fork pump station is required to convey wastewater flows from
the proposed service area to the Clark Creek WWTP. The pump station was designed to ultimately
convey a peak wastewater flow of 1.97-mgd from the new gravity sewers into the new force mains,
which carry the wastewater to the wastewater treatment plant. Dual pumps will be provided.
¦ Startown Road Elementary School Pump Station. A second pump station will be constructed at the
Startown Road Elementary School in order to allow removal of an existing septic tank. It will convey
flow from the school into the new 8-inch force main and will be equipped with two 140-gpm pumps.
The South Fork Catawba River gravity sewer will cross two tributaries. The 8-inch force main will three
tributaries and Betts Branch. At each stream crossing, the sewer will be grouted in a continuously welded
steel casing laid in a trench crossing the stream. The casing pipe will be supported on each end by
concrete collars placed against undisturbed earth. All crossings will be subaqueous, and original stream
bank contours will be restored after construction. Rip rap will be used to stabilize the stream banks below
the high water mark, and dormant cuttings of silky dogwood (Cornus amomum), silky willow (Salix
sericea), and hazel alder (Alnus serrulata) will be used above the high water mark.
The 8-inch force main will also cross one jurisdictional wetland area. In this area clay or concrete anti-
seep collars will be placed at least every 150 feet. Original contours will be restored and the area will be
reseeded with a wetland plant mix.
Both pump stations will be located on upland sites.

DR. PHILIP K. MCKNELLY

Dear Ms. Boone:
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NC NHP) does not have records of
known rare species, high quality natural communities, scenic rivers, or Significant
Natural Heritage Areas occurring at the site of the proposed US 321/NC 10 Sewer
System, City of Newton, Catawba County, North Carolina. However, because this
county has not been systematically inventoried, I cannot state definitively that no rare
species exist in this area. It is recommended that US Corp of Engineers Best
Across Waterways is used at crossings of the
ti
on
Management Practices for Construc
South Fork tributaries to prevent erosion and resultant sedimentation of streams.
Enclosed is a list of rare species and high quality natural communities that are known
to occur in Catawba County. If suitable habitat for any of these species occurs in the
project area, then those species may be present at the project site. In order to
determine if rare species are present, a survey would be necessary.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at the address below or call me at (919) 715-
8703 if you have any questions or need further information.
Sincerely,
Susan Reece Giles

GLOBAL AND STATE RANKS
These ranks are determined by The Nature Conservancy's system of measuring rarity and threat status. "Global" refers to
worldwide ranks and "State" to statewide ranks.
STATE RANK DEFINMONS
S1 Critically imperiled in North Carolina because of extreme rarity or otherwise very vulnerable to extirpation in the state.
S2 Imperiled in North Carolina because of rarity or otherwise vulnerable to extirpation in the state.
S3 Rare or uncommon in North Carolina.
S4 Apparently secure in North Carolina, with many occurrences.
S5 Demonstrably secure in North Carolina and essentially ineradicable under present conditions.
SA Accidental or casual; one to several records for North Carolina, but the state is outside the normal range of the species.
SH Of historical occurrence in North Carolina, perhaps not having been verified in the past 25 years, and suspected to be still
extant in the state.
SR Reported from North Carolina, but without persuasive documentation for either accepting or rejecting the report.
SX Believed to be extirpated from North Carolina.
SU Possibly in peril in North Carolina, but status uncertain; more information is needed.
S? Unranked, or rank uncertain.
_B Rank of breeding population in the state. Used for migratory species only.
N Rank of non-breeding population in the state. Used for migratory species only.
Z_ Population is not of significant conservation concern; applies to transitory, migratory species.
GLOBAL RANK DEFINITIONS
GI Critically imperiled globally because of extreme rarity or otherwise very vulnerable to extinction throughout its range_
G2 Imperiled globally because of rarity or otherwise vulnerable to extinction throughout its range.
G3 Either very rare and local throughout its range, or found locally in a restricted area.
G4 Apparently secure globally, although it may be quite rare in parts of its range (especially at the periphery).
G5 Demonstrably secure globally, although it may be quite rare in parts of its range (especially at the periphery).
GH Of historical occurrence throughout its range.
GX Believed to be extinct throughout its range.
GU Possibly in peril, but status uncertain; more information is needed.
G? Unranked, or rank uncertain.
G_Q Of questionable taxonomic status.
T Status of subspecies or variety; the G rank refers to the species as a whole.
ADDITIONAL DEFINITIONS
Elements following county names marked with one or two asterisks indicate obscure or historic records. .
* Obscure record: the date the element was last observed in the county is uncertain.
+* Historic record: the element was last observed in the county more than 50 years ago.
Scientific and common names listed in parentheses are synonyms listed in US Fish and Wildlife Service, 1992, Endangered and

Dear Mr. Idol:
Thank you for your letter of March 23, 1999, transmitting the archaeological survey report
by TRC Garrow concerning the above project.
During the course of the survey no sites were located within the project area. TRC Garrow
has recommended that no further archaeological investigation be conducted in connection
with this project. We concur with this recommendation since this project will not involve
significant archaeological resources. The report meets our office's guidelines and those of
the Secretary of the Interior.
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with
Section 106 codified at 36 CFR Part 800.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions concerning the
above comment, please contact Renee Gledhill-Earley, environmental review coordinator, at

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
Environmental Assessment for the
City of Newton US 321/NC 10 Interchange Sewer System Project
City of Newton
Catawba County
August 1999
An environmental assessment (EA) has been prepared, pursuant to the requirements of the North
Carolina Environmental Policy Act, for the proposed construction of 7.2 miles of sewer pipeline
and two pump stations west of the City of Newton in Catawba County. The sewer lines will be
placed along NC 10, the South Fork Catwaba River, and a tributary of the South Fork Catawba
River. The proposed sewer line project would service the following areas: south of NC 10 to
Rocky Ford Road between US 321 and Startown Road; the area north of NC 10 between
Startown Road and US 321, and a section west of US 321. The project will enable the City of
Newton to provide gravity sewer service to new residential and commercial growth being
induced by the construction of US 321 west of the City of Newton. It is estimated that the
interchange sewer system will transport .79 million gallons per day (MGD) in the year 2020.
Wastewater will be conveyed to the Clark Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) which
has a permitted capacity of 7.5 MGD. The plant's average monthly flow in 1997 was
approximately 2.6 MGD. An expansion of the WWTP is not required to accommodate flows
from this project. However, the City of Newton has agreed to contact the Division of Water
Quality's Pretreatment Unit prior to connecting any industry to the sewer system, having nickel
concentrations above domestic levels (see Appendix C).
Although the route of the pipeline was chosen to minimize work in environmentally sensitive
areas, the project will require the clearing of approximately five acres of land and will include ten
stream crossings. Impact minimization efforts include maintaining a fifty-foot undisturbed
vegetated buffer between streams and construction activities wherever possible, and limiting
construction width in wetlands to 40 feet. Post construction activities will include restoring the
site to previous grade and contours, and revegetating to control erosion. Anti-seep collars will
also be installed at least every 150 feet along the stream segments of pipeline to control the
migration of groundwater along the pipe bedding and avoid draining wetland areas. No instream
activities will take place during April and May. Efforts will be made to avoid mowing between
April 1st and September 30th. Dormant cuttings of silky dogwood (Corpus amomum) and silky
willow (Salix sericea) and rooted stock of hazel alder (Alpus serrulata) will be used for
restoration. The only expected permanent changes will be along the 25-foot wide right-of-way
corridors, which will be maintained through mowing every three to four years.
FONSI
City of Newton Interchange Sewer System EA
9/17/99; page 2
Other alternatives to the proposed project include the "no action" alternative and selecting
smaller diameter pipes. The "No Action" alternative was dismissed because growth in the area
would still be expected to occur but less desirable wastewater treatment such as package
treatment systems and individual septic systems would be used instead. Although the alternative
of using smaller diameter pipelines would allow narrower trench widths and less construction
impacts. However, this alternative was eliminated because the pipes would not convey the
projected peak wasteater flows from the service area.
Based on the findings of the EA and on the impact avoidance/mitigation measures contained
therein, it is concluded that the proposed project will not result in significant impacts to the
environment. This EA and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) are prerequisites for the
issuance of the 401 Water Quality Certification and Sewer Extension Permit by the Division of
Water Quality. Pending approval by the State Clearinghouse, the environmental review for this
project will be concluded. An environmental impact statement will not be prepared for this
project.

401 Water Quality Certification
CDM Project No. 10674-25039-TASK2.ODC
Dear Cyndi:
Enclosed please find seven copies of the application for a 401 Water Quality
Certification for the City of Newton US 321/NC 10 Interchange Sewer System. Per our
phone conversation earlier today, the City issued a check (#20356) for the permit fee on
September 24, 1999. The City mailed the check directly to your office, and it was
received on October 1, 1999. The check has cleared the bank according to the City.
Since your office has received the check, we are submitting the permit application.
Also, since the first permit application submittal, we have received a final approval of
the project's Environmental Assessment, so I have included a copy of the
correspondence in each of the seven applications.
Please call me at 787-5620 if you have any questions. Thank you for your assistance.
Very truly yours,
CAMP DRESSER & McKEE

Dear Mr. Dorney:
On behalf of the City of Newton, we are submitting seven copies of the joint Section 404
permit/Section 401 Water Quality Certification application for the US 321/NC 10 Interchange
Sewer System project for your review. This project includes construction of two pump stations,
approximately 9,980 feet of gravity sewer along NC 10 and the South Fork Catawba River, and
approximately 14,700 feet of force main along an unnamed tributary of the South Fork Catawba
River and Startown Road. A permit is requested for this project under Nationwide Permit #12.
An Environmental Assessment was prepared for this project, and the final EA was submitted to the
State Clearinghouse on August 18, 1999 for the final 30-day review. A copy of the Finding of No
Significant Impact is enclosed as Attachment D. You will be notified when approval is received.
Please review the application and let me know if you have any questions or need additional
information. I can be reached at [phone]. Thank you for your assistance.
Very truly yours,
