Re: Pre-Construction Notification Application
Carolina Shores Force Main and Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements
Brunswick County
AECOM Project No. 60196406
Dear Mr. McMillan:
Please find enclosed five (5) copies of the Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) Application
form and submittal package for the referenced project. At your earliest convenience, please
review these documents for approval.
The submittal package includes the following:
• Minor water quality application fee of $570.00,
• PCN application, five (5) copies.
• Stormwater Notice of Intent, five (5) copies
• Letter of agent authorization,
• Vicinity Map, five (5) copies.
• USGS topography map of project, five (5) copies.
• USACOE Wetland delineation forms, five (5) copies.
• NCDWQ Stream determination forms, five (5) copies.
• Plans, 1:50 foot scale, two (2) copies.
• Plans, 11"x17", three (3) copies.
Brunswick County is proposing to install approximately 38,939 feet of 16-inch force main
from the Carolina Shores Wastewater Treatment Plant along the western right-of-way of US
Highway 17 to north side of the intersection with NC Highway 904. The proposed force
main will allow pumping of wastewater from the Carolina Shore Wastewater Treatment Plant
to Brunswick County's West Brunswick County Water Reclamation Facility. This diversion
of wastewater will help the Carolina Shores Wastewater Treatment Plant meet it NPDES
discharge limits.

Page No. 2
The force main will be installed inside the right-of-way of the south bound lane of US
Highway 17. At stream crossings, the force main will be installed by horizontal directional
drill with a minimum of 3-feet separation below the bottom of the stream bed. Wetlands
abutting streams will also be directional drilled to prevent impacts. It is proposed to open cut
other wetland areas that are inside the highway right-of-way in order to install the force
main. There will be no permanent impacts to wetlands resulting from this project as the
disturbed areas will be allowed to regrow following project completion. At the US Army
Corps of Engineers request the grade will be returned to preconstruction conditions and the
natural soil will be returned to the trench following installation
If there are any questions, or if additional information is needed, please do not hesitate to
contact us.
Sincerely,
AECOM Technical Services of North Carolina, Inc.

the project.
D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
All streams and wetlands abutting streams will be directional drilled to prevent any impacts to those features. All forested
wetlands, that are to have pipe installed by open trench cutting, will be allowed to regrow following installation and the
construction corridor will not be maintained by the county. These areas are already in NCDOT and a Progress Energy right-
of-way and may be manipulated by those agencies but that is not part of this project. Many of these areas are already
disturbed so minimal impacts to forested wetlands will occur.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
All streams and their abutting wetlands will be directional drilled to prevent impacts. Any areas with open trench cutting in
wetlands will be allowed to regrow following construction and the soil will be returned to its natural strata and grade.
