Release of the Record of Decision for Western Wake Regional Wastewater Management
Facilities Final Environmental Impact Statement and Permit Request
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Wilmington District Regulatory Division
has completed its National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review process, Section
404 of the Clean Water Act 404(b)(1) analysis and Public Interest review of the Project
Partners proposal to construct a Western Wake Regional Wastewater Management
Facilities consisting of regional wastewater pumping, conveyance, treatment, and
discharge facilities to serve the Towns of Apex, Cary, Holly Springs and Morrisville, as
well as the Wake County portion of Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. The Towns
have cooperated together to develop the proposal and permit request for the Western
Wake Regional Wastewater Management Facilities.
There will be five total Department of the Army (DA) permit requests for the complete
project as described in the Western Wake Regional Wastewater Management Facilities
Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS). The District Engineer has received a
request from the Project Partners to authorize construction of a wastewater reclamation
facility (WRF) at Site 14, near New Hill, and associated infrastructure and pipelines as
described in the Section 2 "Description of the Proposed Project" of the Record of
Decision (ROD). The permit request is for permanently impacting 0.82 acres of wetlands
and 378 linear feet (If) of stream (232 if of perennial and 1461f intermittent) in order to
construct and operate new wastewater management facilities including influent
conveyance facilities, a new WRF, and new effluent conveyance facilities in western
Wake County, North Carolina. The DA permit request for the WRF project facilities is a
stand-alone project and would be functional without the lines from Apex, Cary and Holly
Springs.
The other permit requests outlined in the FEIS will be made by each municipality when
each is ready to construct its portion of the project. The total permanent impact of the
complete project is 1,387 linear feet of perennial and intermittent stream and 5.9 acres of
wetlands. Most of these impacts are along the influent transmission lines, and the
impacts are described in Section 4 of the FEIS.
The Record of Decision is posted on the USACE, Wilmington District website at
