PROJECT SETTING
The site of the development proposal is the existing Waste Water Treatment Plant for the Town of
Hertford, located off SR 1110, approximately one-third of a mile north of SR 1109 in the northwest
section of the town limits and adjacent to the Perquimans River. The Plant is located on a one and
one-half acre lot that has an elevation of approximately 13 feet above Normal Water Level (NWL);
vegetation was indigenous grasses; and has Altavista soils. The property, by way of an utility
easement, has a 25-feet wide, -2 feet deep, and approximately 2,300 feet long outfall ditch that was
cut through an existing maple, gum, and cypress swamp that borders the Perquimans River. The
ditch connects with the Perquimans River in an area that has a maximum water depth of
approximately -19 feet below NWL and a width of approximately 500 feet.
The adjacent riparian properties consist of a continuation of the wooded swamp. A railroad track and
trestle across the Perquimans River is located approximately 2,000 feet toward the east.
The waters of the Perquimans River in this area are classified as C SW by the Division of
Environmental Management and as closed to shellfish taking.
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL
The applicant proposes to make improvements to the existing Waste Water Treatment Plant that
consists of construction of an effluent force main pipeline to a discharge point approximately -16 feet
below NWL in the Channel of the Perquimans River. Construction will include the extension of 400
lineal feet of 8-inch PVC (open-cut) and 2,125 lineal feet of 10-inch HDPE (directional-bore) force
main from the Town of Hertford Wastewater Treatment Facility to the channel of the Perquimans
River. All construction, with the exception of force main buried beneath the Perquimans River, will
take place on property owned by the Town of Hertford. The majority of force main will be installed
beneath wetlands. However, all force main installed beneath wetlands will be by directional-bore
only. The remaining portion of force main in upland areas will be installed by open-cut method. A
minimum of 3-feet depth cover will be maintained throughout the entire wetlands and partial river
crossing.
The total area that will be disturbed during construction of the effluent force main is approximately
0.18 acres of upland area (400 feet by 20 feet) by open cut. All areas where directional-bore will take
place will remain completely undisturbed, with the exception of the location of the effluent pipe end,
which is estimated to be approximately 16 square feet.
PLANNED EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL MEASURES
Silt Fencing - Silt fence will be installed as shown on the construction plans or as deemed
necessary by visual inspection. This will be done by the contractor and inspected by the
engineer to ensure all sediment is properly contained.
I
FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT:
Town of Hertford, Waste Water Treatment Plant Improvements
Page 3
2. Rock Check Dams - Rock check dams will be installed as a temporary measure
throughout the project to restrict the velocity within the disturbed roadside ditches or
channels affected thereby reducing the potential of erosion. These check dams will also
serve as temporary sediment traps and will be placed wherever necessary as shown on the
construction plans.
3. Temporary Inlet Protection - Inlet protection will be provided on all existing drainage pipes
and inlets on the project to ensure proper sediment containment.
ANTICIPATED IMPACTS
The development proposal will disturb approximately 16 square feet of Public Trust Area, Area of
Environmental Concern, river bottom and approximately 8,000 square feet of upland area by open
cut installation of the pipeline. The existing train trestle is fixed and limits navigation of vessels other
than small boats upstream of the trestle. The project does not appear to present a hazard to
navigation in this area because of the significant water depths. Localized turbidity during construction
can be expected as well as during operation.

Proiect Description
As a portion of the proposed Wastewater Treatment Improvements project, the Town of
Hertford is constructing an extension of effluent force main to a discharge point deep in
the channel of the Perquimans River. Construction will include the extension of 400 LF
of 8"0 PVC (open-cut) and 2,125 LF of 10"0 HDPE (directional-bore) force main from
the Town of Hertford Wastewater Treatment Facility to the channel of Perquimans River.
All construction, with the exception of force main buried beneath Perquimans River, will
take place on property owned by the Town of Hertford. The majority of force main will
be installed beneath wetlands. However, all force main installed beneath wetlands will
be by directional-bore only. The remaining portion of force main in upland areas will be
installed by open-cut method. A minimum of 3' depth cover will be maintained
throughout the entire wetlands and partial river crossing.
Site Description
The project will be constructed on the existing wastewater treatment facility site directly
northwest of the Town of Hertford. The total area that will be disturbed during
construction of the effluent force main is approximately 0.2 acres. The topography in the
project area consists of flat wetland areas with the only significant elevation above
normal water level being at the existing wastewater treatment plant site. A 20.0 ft. wide
construction corridor was used in estimation of area to be disturbed by installation of
effluent force main by open-cut method. All areas where directional-bore will take place
will remain completely undisturbed.
Planned Erosion and Sedimentation Control Measures
1. Silt Fencing - Silt Fence will be installed as shown on the construction plans
or as deemed necessary by visual inspection. This will be done by the
contractor and inspected by the engineer to ensure all sediment is properly
contained.
2. Rock Check Dams - Rock Check Dams will be installed as a temporary
measure throughout the project to restrict the velocity within the disturbed
roadside ditches or channels affected thereby reducing the potential of
erosion. These check dams will also serve as temporary sediment traps and
will be placed wherever necessary as shown on the construction plans.
3. Temporary Inlet Protection - Inlet protection will be provided on all existing
drainage pipes and inlets on the project to ensure proper sediment
containment.
