Comments: The buffer impacts are shown on sheets C.2.2 and C.2.14. Buffer impacts identification labels have been added to the plan set. The majority of the buffer impacts are in non - NCDOT existing transporation facility, which previously disturbed and presently maintained as transportation infrastructure. Given the areas are previously disturbed and will require no clearing or grubbing, mitigation is not anticipated. Impacts will be temporary in nature and will be minimized to the greatest extent possible while using sedimentation and erosion control measures. The alignment of proposed lines was designed to minimize disturbance to the greatest extent practical. D. Impact Justification and Mitigation 1. Avoidance and Minimization 1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project. Most of the sewer lines will be constructed in previously disturbed land adjacent and within the NCDOT right -of -way.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT Location of Project The proposed sanitary sewer project is located along NC Highway 33 and Logsboro Road within Edgecombe County Water and Sewer District No. 5 between the Tar River and Community of Leggett as well as a small section of force main along NC Highway 97 inside the corporate limits of the Town of Leggett. This sewer project will be owned by Edgecombe County's Water and Sewer District No. 5, where it resides. The majority of the work will take place within previously disturbed NCDOT right -of -ways and private utility easements along New Logsboro Road and NC Highway 33 in addition to the community around Jerys Mobile Home Park (MHP) and Forest Pine Drive MHP. A vicinity map has been attached which shows the exact project location in Edgecombe County. Type of Development Gravity Sewer The gravity portion of the proposed sanitary sewer project will be a linear construction project consisting of installing approximately 18,700 LF of 84nch gravity sewer and 76 sanitary sewer manholes. The proposed network will be divided into two (2) distinct sewersheds. The first sewershed is located in the southern portion of the project area including Jerry's MHP, Forest Pine Drive MHP and Ellis Lane. The collected wastewater will be directed to the Highway 33 Pump Station. This sewershed will included installing approximately 10,550 LF of 8 -inch gravity sewer and 45 sanitary sewer manholes. The second sewershed is located in the central portion of the project area including Logsboro Road and Boyd Lane. The collected wastewater will be directed to the Logsboro Road Pump Station. This sewershed will included installing approximately 8,150 LF of 8- inch gravity sewer and 31 sanitary sewer manholes. Pumu Station & Force Main The collected wastewater in the southern sewershed will be conveyed to the new Highway 33 Pump Station, which is located on a parcel owned by Edgecombe County adjacent to NC Highway 33 near Forest Pine Drive. The wastewater will then be pumped through approximately 14,950 LF of a new 6 -inch force main to the existing Manhole No. 44 which is part of the Town of Leggett wastewater collection system. The existing downstream network will convey the wastewater to the City of Rocky Mount's Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF). The Highway 33 Pump Station is designed to pump at 180 GPM at 87' TDH, which will maintain greater than 2 feet per second velocity in the receiving force main. Likewise, the collected wastewater in the northern sewershed will be conveyed to the new Logsboro Road Pump Station, which is located on a parcel owned by Edgecombe County adjacent to NC Highway 33 and W. Logsboro Road. The wastewater will then be pumped through approximately 50 LF of a new 6 -inch force main to the proposed 64nch force main from the Highway 33 pump station and continue pumping to the existing Manhole No. 44 which is part of the Town of Leggett wastewater collection system. The existing downstream network will convey the wastewater to the City of Rocky Mount's Wastewater Treatment Facility (WWTF). The Logsboro Road Pump Station is designed to pump at 180 GPM at 78' TDH, which will maintain greater than 2 feet per second velocity in the receiving force main. 1 1 1 1 1 1 Earth Disturbing Activities The project will involve digging trenches for the 8 -inch gravity sewer lines, the new 6 -inch force mains, and the construction of the Highway 33 and Logsboro Road Pump Stations. The width of the installation trench will vary based on the depth of the gravity sewer. At the deepest parts, the disturbed area will be approximately 40 feet wide including the spoil pile. One drainage ditch (deemed to be an intermittent unnamed tributary to Swift Creek) will be open cut to install the 8 -inch gravity sewer that is proposed for that location. Sedimentation and erosion control measures will be used throughout the project, but most importantly at the main stream crossing and at the many small ditch crossings. The required erosion control measures will be installed prior to construction. A track -hoe will be used in the excavation process with other associated equipment for sewer system installation. To cross NCDOT roads, a process of boring and jacking will be utilized. Existing Drainage Patterns Edgecombe County is generally broad and flat sloping from west to the east. The County is located in the Tar - Pamlico River Basin and within Fishing Creek, Little Fishing Creek, Rocky Swamp and Beech Swamp Subbasin (03 -03 -04). The majority of the area located within this project area drains to road side ditches and /or unnamed tributaries, which ultimately flow to Swift Creek. Swift Creek flows directly to the Tar River that bisects the County. B. EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL MEASURES 1. A copy of the latest approved sediment and erosion control plan must be on file at the job site. Timely and proper attention shall be required for prevention of offsite erosion and sedimentation. Various levels of erosion control are proposed in the engineering documents. If it becomes evident that additional erosion and sedimentation control measures are needed they shall be installed immediately by the contractor. A temporary cover sufficient to restrain erosion must be provided within the 21 calendar days of completion of any phase of land disturbance. A permanent ground cover, sufficient to restrain erosion, must be provided within the shortest of 14 working or 90 calendar days after completion of the construction or development. 2. A buffer zone, sufficient to restrain sedimentation, must be maintained between the land - disturbing activity and any adjacent property or watercourses. Maintain / Do Not Disturb existing vegetative cover in areas of no construction. 3. All disturbed areas will be seeded within 30 days following construction in accordance ' with the seeding schedule as shown on the plans. We have attached the seeding and mulching specifications to this document which gives the rates for fertilizer, tack, seeding and mulch. 1 4. Temporary sediment control primarily will consist of temporary check dams and arc filters which will be placed along the existing roadside ditches. The rock check dams shall be a maximum of 1,000 LF apart and the volume of storage shall accommodate this sediment as shown on the engineering documents. In the proposed project area, the slopes along most of the roadside ditches are so flat that the spacing allows for a great amount of storage before over flowing into the next drainage system. In order to eliminate erosion from traveling downstream, arc filters will be utilized when sewer lines bisect drainage culverts on the upstream side of the culvert. 5. Silt fence will be utilized in areas next to the blue line stream to prevent erosion of the disturbed soil for the sewer line crossing. In the location of ditch crossings, rip rap is to be ' placed at the opening of the storm drainage pipe to prevent erosion of the disturbed soil for the pipeline crossing. Silt fence shall also be used to prevent erosion in areas where bore and recovery pits are to be constructed and at open culvert crossings the silt fence is to be tied into the temporary sediment traps or check dams as shown in the ' engineering documents. Silt fence will also be utilized at the pump station site. Since the velocity of flow through the roadside ditches is less than 2.5 fps, lining is not required but there may be areas where the contractor will be required to place matting if drainage ' ditch disturbance occurs. 6. If the contractor chooses to place any of the material on the adjacent roadway the contractor shall be required to place screening over the roadway surface prior to ' beginning the operations to assist in cleaning up the roadways after construction. C. TIME SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS Construction is anticipated to begin February 2014. Permits are being secured now and ' once the project is awarded, construction will be able to start. The contractor is required under the contract to comply with all state regulations regarding erosion and sedimentation control. Once the sediment and erosion control measures are in place, the contractor will begin installing the sewer lines, manholes, and pump stations. The ' contractor shall complete all construction within the easements and rights -of -ways as shown on the plans. All utilities must be checked and tested and any areas that can be seeded should be done as soon as possible. ' Once the subsurface infrastructure is complete and tested, the contractor shall finish grading and seeding remaining areas. Seed bed preparation details have been added to the drawings. Hydro-seeding will not be used on this project. In areas where the trench ' line is within the bottom of a ditch, erosion control matting shall be used to stabilize the soil. ' The erosion and sediment control measures are to be checked weekly and after any rainfall event. Repairs shall be made immediately to the sediment and erosion control measures as needed during the project. 1 APPENDIX B Site Coordinates 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Edgecombe County WSD #5 Sanitary Sewer Improvements NC 33/Logsboro Road Area Pre - Construction Notification (PCN) / Site Coordinates NC 97/NC 33 Intersection Ladtade Longitude 35.989475 - 77.580117 NC 33 /Logsboro Road Intersection Latitude Longitude 35.966614 - 77.573122 End of Project on NC 97 Ladtude Longitude 35.986958 - 77.585156 Logsboro Road Pump Station Latitude Longitude 35.966339 - 77.573200 Highway 33 Pump Station Latitude Longitude 35.959306 - 77.567414 1 APPENDIX C USGS Topographic Map 1 Map 7 Clean Water SRF Minor Engineering Report NC 33/E.

The map unit descriptions, along with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit. A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils. Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called noncontnssting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas are identified 10 ,i 7I9 -into Existing MH (Leggett Sys.) 0 X-1 Map 10 Clean Water SRF Minor Engineering Report NC 33/E.

Ataxon "in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range. T = threatened. A taxon "likely to become endangered within the foreseeable ' future throughout all or a significant portion of its range." C = candidate. A taxon under consideration for official listing for which there is ' sufficient information to support listing. (Formerly "C1" candidate species.) BGPA =Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. See below. FSC = federal species of concern. A species under consideration for listing, for ' which there is insufficient information to support listing at this time. These species may or may not be listed in the future, and many of these species were formerly recognized as "C2" candidate species. ' T(S /A) = threatened due to similarity of appearance. A taxon that is threatened due to similarity of appearance with another listed species and is listed for its protection. Taxa listed as T(S /A) are not biologically endangered or threatened and are not subject to Section 7 consultation. See below. EXP = experimental population. A taxon listed as experimental (either essential ' or nonessential). Experimental, nonessential populations of endangered species (e.g., red wolf) are treated as threatened species on public land, for consultation purposes, and as species proposed for listing on private land. ' P = proposed. Tan proposed for official listing as endangered or threatened will be noted as PE or "PT", respectively. Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act MGM: ' In the July 9, 2007 Federal Register( 72:37346 - 37372), the bald eagle was declared recovered, and removed (de- listed) from the Federal List of Threatened and Endangered wildlife. This delisting took effect August 8,2007. ' After delisting, the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (Eagle Act) (16 U.S.C. 668 -668d) becomes the primary law protecting bald eagles. The Eagle Act prohibits take of bald and golden eagles and provides a statutory definition ' of "take" that includes "disturb ". The USFWS has developed National Bald Eagle Management Guidelines to provide guidance to land managers, landowners, and others as to how to avoid disturbing bald eagles. For mor information, visit ho://www.fws.gov/migp Wbirds/baldeagle.h e.htm Threatened due to similarity of annearance(T(S /A)): In the November 4, 1997 Federal Register (55822 - 55825), the northern tpopulation of the bog turtle (from New York south to Maryland) was listed as T (threatened), and the southern population (from Virginia south to Georgia) was 1 listed as T(S /A) (threatened due to similarity of appearance). The T(S /A) ' designation bans the collection and interstate and international commercial Evade of bog turtles from the southern population. The T(S /A) designation has no effect on land management activities by private landowners in North ' Carolina, part of the southern population of the species. In addition to its official status as T(S /A), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service considers the ' southern population of the bog turtle as a Federal species of concern due to habitat loss. ' Definitions of record Status: Current - the species has been observed in the county within the last 50 years. Historic - the species was last observed in the county more than 50 years ago. ' Obscure - the date and/or location of observation is uncertain. Incidental/migrant - the species was observed outside of its normal range or ' habitat. Probable/potential - the species is considered likely to occur in this county based on the proximity of known records (in adjacent counties), the presence of potentially suitable habitat, or both. 1 1 1 1 1 t8/14/12 NCDENR - NHP Map Viewer NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources Natural Heritage Program - NHP Map Viewer ' Data Services - Map Viewers - NHP Map Viewer Natural Heritage Program Map Viewer (Data last updated on May 1, 2012) Help ( http:// portal.ncdenr. org/ c/ docuient_ Ubrarylget_fiWi"d-c2dbaa9f -a4oa- 4552 - bdeo- 8595lBc6a3Oe(tgroupid- 61587) ' +1 -77 W Logsboro Rd, Tarboro, NC 27886, USA (35.96656562459105 77.5732303619385 Search ` Clear Fields and Reset Map, (Searched on Aug 14, 2012) i ' Hide I evend Enter an Address OR Latitude and Longitude (decimal degrees) OR just click a map location below...

' There are no known archaeological sites within the proposed project area. Based on our knowledge of the area, it is unlikely that any archaeological resources that may be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places will be affected by the project. We, therefore, recommend that no archaeological investigation ' be conducted in connection with this project. A portion of this project is located adjacent to Cedar Lane, which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. However, since the project will be located within the existing right -of -way, and will not require the ' removal of mature landscaping, the proposed project will have no adverts f cl on historic properties. 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 Pan 800. 1 Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions concerning the above comment, please contact Renee Gledhill - Earley, environmental review coordinator, at 919 -807 -6579.

Any grading, fill or placement of equipment or materials in any Special mood Hazard Area (SFHA) of Swift Creek will need a floodplain development permit Issued by Edgecombe County. 2) Swift Creek has a designated Floodway. If there is any encroachment proposed into the Floodway of Swift Creek, approval of either a no -rise study with a no -rise ' certification for projects that do not Increase base flood elevation, or for projects that result in an increase in base flood elevations the approval of a Conditional Letter of Map Revision, will be required prior to construction. ' 3) All structures and utilities should be protected to the regulatory flood protection elevation as described in the Edgecombe County Floodplain Regulations and 44 CFR 60.3. ' Thank you for your cooperation and consideration.

North Carolina 27636 -3726 TEN COMF GRFP:or: 4U February 16, 2412 OFFN Re: Fdgecomhe Water & Sewer District No. 5 Sanitary Sewer improvements Dear Mr. Harvin: This letter is to inform you that a list of all federally- protected endangered and threatened species with known occurrences in North Carolina is now available on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (Service) web page at http: / /www.fws.gov /raleigh. Therefore, if you have projects that occur within the Raleigh Field Office's area of responsibility (see attached county list), you no longer need to contact the Raleigh Field Office for a list of federally- protected species. 1 Our web page contains a complete and frequently updated list of all endangered and threatened ' species protected by the provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)(Act), and a list of federal species of concern' that are known to occur in each county in North Carolina. Section 7 of the Act requires that all federal agencies (or their designated non - federal representative), in consultation with the Service, insure that any action federally authorized, funded, or carried out by such agencies is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any federally - listed endangered or threatened species. A biological assessment or evaluation may be p%pared to fulfill that requirt'mt -nt and in determining whether additional consultation with the ' Service is necessary. In addition to the federally- protected species list, information on the species' life histories and habitats and information on completing a biological assessment or evaluation and can be found on our web page at http: / /www.fws.gov /raleigh. Please check the ' web site often for updated information or changes. i The term "federal species of concern" refers to those species which the Service believes might be in need of concentrated conservation actions. Federal species of concern receive no legal protection and their designation does ' not necessarily imply that the species will eventually be proposed for listing as a federally endangered or threatened ;pecies. However. we recommend that all practicable measures be taken to avoid or minimize adverse impacts to federal species of concern_ 1 i If your project contains suitable habitat for any of the federally- listed species known to be ' present within the county where your project occurs, the proposed action has the potential to adversely affect those species. As such, we recommend that surveys be conducted to determine the species' presence or absence within the project area. The use of North Carolina Natural ' Heritage program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys. If you determine that the proposed action may affect (i.e., likely to adversely affect or not likely ' to adversely affect) a federally - protected species, you should notify this office with your determination, the results of your surveys, survey methodologies, and an analysis of the effects of the action on listed species, including consideration of direct, indirect, and cumulative effects, ' before conducting any activities that might affect the species. If you determine that the proposed action will have no effect (i.e., no beneficial or adverse, direct or indirect effect) on federally listed species, then you are not required to contact our office for concurrence (unless an ' Environmental Impact Statement is prepared). However, you should maintain a complete record of the assessment, including steps leading to your determination of effect, the qualified personnel conducting the assessment, habitat conditions, site photographs, and any other related articles. With regard to the above - referenced project, we offer the following remarks. Our comments are submitted pursuant to, and in accordance with, provisions of the Endangered Species Act. Based on the information provided and other information available, it appears that the proposed action is not likely to adversely affect any federally- listed endangered or threatened species, their ' formally designated critical habitat, or species currently proposed for listing under the Act at these sites. We believe that the requirements of section 7(a)(2) of the Act have been satisfied for your project. Please remember that obligations under section 7 consultation must be reconsidered if (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered; (2) this action is subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review; or, (3) a new species ' is listed or critical habitat determined that may be affected by the identified action. However, the Service is concerned about the potential impacts the proposed action might have ' on aquatic species. Aquatic resources are highly susceptible to sedimentation. Therefore, we recommend that all practicable measures be taken to avoid adverse impacts to aquatic species, including implementing directional boring methods and stringent sediment and erosion control ' measures. An erosion and sedimentation control plan should be submitted to and approved by the North Carolina Division of Land Resources, Land Quality Section prior to construction. Erosion and sedimentation controls should be installed and maintained between the construction ' site and any nearby down - gradient surface waters. In addition, we recommend maintaining natural, vegetated buffers on all streams and creeks adjacent to the project site. ' The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission has developed a Guidance Memorandum (a copy can be found on our website at (http: / /www.fws.gov /raleigh) to address and mitigate secondary and cumulative impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources and water quality. ' We recommend that you consider this document in the development of your projects and in completing an initiation package for consultation (if necessary). 1 We hope you find our web page useful and informative and that following the process described above will reduce the time required, and eliminate the need, for general correspondence for species' lists. If you have any questions or comments, please contact John Ellis of this office at ' (919) 856 -4520 ext. 26.
