Division of Coastal Management:
From: Bennett Wynne
Habitat Conservation Program
Date: September 9, 2000
Subject: 404 Project Review for Waste Industries, Inc. Discharge of Fill Material Into I I
Acres of Section 404 Wetlands and Waters for the Expansion of the Existing
Sampson County Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Facility, adjacent to Bearskin
Swamp, east ofRoseboro, Sampson County, North Carolina. Action 11):
200001460,
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission has reviewed the project for
impacts to wildlife and fishery resources. We regret that time constraints delayed
our response. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions ofthe
Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et
seq.) and the Coastal Area Management Act (G. S. 113 A-100 through 113 A-128).
The current applicant reflects a recent change of management (formerly Browning
Ferris Industries or BFI) at the subject regional landfill, Filling of 1 1.3 acres of
forested wetlands along intermittent streams is proposed for landfill expansion.
Affected wetlands provide quality habitat for raccoon, opossu n, muskrat,
songbirds, and various reptiles and amphibians. A greater siren (Birch lucertimi)
was found in one of the affected streams during a. May 19, 1998 interagency,
onsite meeting. Protect wetlands also provide a water quality protection function.

Waste Industries, Inc. 2 9/9/00
Several mitigation options are proposed: 1) use a 270 acre sand mine site 2 miles
distant along the Little Coharie Creek floodplain, 2) use Barra Farms Wetland
Mitigation Bank, 3) use a 115 acre parcel bordering Bearskin Swamp (onsite) to
enhance 74 acres of wetlands, create 20 acres of wetland slopes, and establish 21
acres of upland buffer, or 4) use the State Wetlands Restoration Program. We
favor option 3) involving onsite mitigation adjacent to Bearskin Swamp, but agree
with the Corps' contention made at a November 24, 1998 onsite meeting that
wetland creation should be expanded to include the area south of that proposed.
We also agree with the Corps that wetland enhancement measures should be
thoroughly described. Therefore, we recommend that permit issuance be
conditioned to require mitigation option 3) with expansion of creation acreage
southward and a thorough description of enhancement measures that is acceptable
to the review agencies.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment. If you have questions
regarding these comments, please contact. me at [phone].

County of Richmond
PO Box 504
Rockingham, NC 28379
Dear Sirs:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to impact 205 linear feet of stream for the
purpose of water line construction in Richmond County as you described in your application received by the
Division of Water Quality on February 2, 2000. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this
action is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3101. This Certification allows you to use
Nationwide Permit Number 12 when issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In addition, you should get any
other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment
and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also this approval will expire when
the accompanying 404 permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application except as modified
below. If you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application. If the
property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for
complying with all conditions. I.f total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory
mitigation may. be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). This approval shall expire when the
corresponding Nationwide Permit expires or as otherwise provided in the General Certification. For this approval to be
valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must
act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition, which conforms to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh,
N.C. 276 1 1-7447. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
