Wilson, Environmental Enginee Subject: Project Chrysalis — CDBG Project NCDENR Project 12-0067 Environmental Review Record Comments Rutherford County The CDBG funding for the Chrysalis Project includes a raw water intake and associated infrastructure, along with sewer line infrastructure (the remainder of the project appears to use other funding sources). The following concerns may, or will likely, need to be addressed: 1. Forest City Pretreatment Requirements —The project should ensure that the Riverstone WWTP (owned by Forest City) can accommodate the domestic flow. DWQ understands that the facility will have its own NPDES permit for industrial flow. 2. 401 Water Quality Certification — If a 404 permit is required by the Army Corp of Engineers, a 401 Water Quality Certification is necessary. Depending on the amount of impact .to a stream and/or wetland — written concurrence from this office may be required. The Town and/or the consultant for the project should contact Chuck Cranford at (828) 296-4664 or chuck.cranford@ncdenr.gov , to ensure appropriate delineation of surface waters at the site. Depending on the size and impervious surface of the total project, a stormwater management plan (or post -construction stormwater), may be required either through the 401 Certification or through the local government Water Supply Watershed requirements. Water Supply Watershed requirements — The Broad River was classified as WS-IV CA (Stream Index No. 9-(34.5)) to serve Forest City's water supply needs. The project description indicates that the City will operate the water system to serve the project. The Broad River below the raw water intake is classified C (Stream Index No. 9-(36.5)). Rutherford County should be contacted regarding water supply watershed ordinances applicable to this project. Chrysalis Project 12-0067 Page 2 of 2 4.

Wilson, P.E., Environmental Engineer Subject: Rutherford County CDBG Proposal — Cleghorn Manor NCDENR Project No. 11-0213 Environmental Review Comments Rutherford County Rutherford County has applied for a CDBG to install an approximately 1150 LF, 8 inch sewer line to serve Cleghorn Manor, a proposed restaurant. The following concerns may, or will likely, need to be addressed: 1. The sewer line should be properly permitted through the Division of Water Quality andmeet the minimum design criteria. In addition, the applicant should insure that the City of Rutherfordton has adequate treatment capacity at the WWTP (the application indicates that the City does have adequate capacity). 2. NPDES Construction Stormwater Permit NCGO10000 —This permit is issued concurrently with an approved Sediment and Erosion Control plan to control stormwater discharges from construction activities. If the project will disturb greater than one acre, an NCG010000 permit is required. 401 Water Quality Certification — If a 404 permit is required by the Army Corp of Engineers, a 401 Water Quality Certification is necessary. Depending on the amount of impact to streams and/or wetlands along the proposed route — written concurrence from this office may be required. The DWQ is unsure if jurisdictional waters or wetlands will be impacted by the proposed sewer line construction — this- should be confirmed prior to impacts to the site (the application states that no wetlands or streams will be impacted by the sewer line construction).
