1 Purpose and Need of Project
1.1 Project Description
The Town of Goldston plans to construct a wastewater collection system to serve
approximately 160 residences and 17 non residential establishments. Currently, there is
no community wastewater collection system or treatment facility for the Town. The vast
majority of residents and businesses operate individual septic systems as a means of
wastewater disposal.
The collection system will consist of gravity sewer mains along existing roadways and
through private property following natural drainage paths as much as possible. Service
laterals will be installed from the existing residences, and tied directly to the sewer main.
The collection will consist of the following:
• 37,000 If of 8 inch sewer
• 160 manholes
• 177 lateral connections
The Chatham County Public School System operates the J.S. Waters School WWTP which
is outside of but adjacent to the Goldston town limits. The system consists of a septic
tank, primary and secondary sand filters, grease traps, recirculation pumps, and UV
disinfection system. The current permit has the following limits:

This discharge to unnamed tributary to Cedar Creek could be abandoned with the
construction of the Town of Goldston Wastewater Collection System.
The closest publicly owned treatment facility to the Town of Goldston is located in the
City of Sanford. In order to transfer wastewater to the City of Sanford for treatment a 180
gpm pump station would be located roughly 1,400 feet south of the Town limits along US
Route 421. Approximately 31,000 If of 6 inch force main would be installed along US
Route 421 to an existing City of Sanford gravity sewer main located along Big Buffalo
Creek near the Deep River Bridge along US Route 421. The wastewater will be treated at
Town of Goldston 2009 Wastewater Collection System Page 4 of 17
Environmental Report

October 2009
the City of Sanford Buffalo Creek WWTP to tertiary limits. The city's expanded 12 mgd
WWTP has sufficient capacity for the requested flow of 105,000 gpd which includes the
initial 2010 projected flow of 38,000 gpd as well capacity for future Town growth and
some reserve for Chatham County economic development interests.
The conceptual layout of the system is shown in Appendix 1. From a cursory review of
the route, no obvious significant environmental impacts such as wetlands or floodplain
disturbances were observed. According to the conceptual layout there are 5 locations,
not including service laterals, where crossing of a probable jurisdictional stream would be
required. These crossings would require a permit from the NCDENR DWQ, and the
USACE. The force main would be located within the existing US Route 421 NCDOT
right -of -way, so no significant environmental impacts are expected. A crossing of the
Deep River is required. The most likely method of installation of this crossing would be
by directional bore, which would not require an environmental permit. Most
environmental impacts would be limited to activities associated with minor clearing and
excavation associated with the pipe line and pump station construction. By following the
roadway alignment, the new sewer mains can be constructed with minimal clearing and
with environmental disturbance limited to excavation and backfilling operations. With a
typical construction easement width of 40 feet the total temporary disturbed area is
approximately 62 acres. Included within the 62 acres the permanent 20 foot wide
cleared easement will impact approximately 31 acres. The pump station site would
require a 50 foot by 50 foot area which might have to be located where clearing would
be required. Environmental impacts are anticipated to be negligible. Land requirements
for this alternative would consist of acquisition of easements where sewer mains were
located outside of the public right of way and purchase of a small parcel for the pump
station.
1.2 Purpose and Need of Project
There is currently no wastewater collection and treatment system for the Town of
Goldston, only individual septic tanks, many of which are failing. The soil characteristics
of the area are not suitable for installing or repairing septic systems. For the individual
homeowner, this equates to excess pumping and maintenance costs to support the failing
systems. Over the past 5 years, the Chatham County Health Department has not
approved any septic system permits for new construction projects in the Town of
Goldston. During this same period, 13 systems were found to be failing and were issued
repair orders. Field sampling tests of local creeks, streams, and ditches were performed in
27 locations. 20 of those locations held enough water to sample for fecal content. The
laboratory results indicated fecal presence in all 20 samples, with 16 samples showing a
fecal count between 100 and 1,690 counts per 100 ml. Approximately 30 incidences of
straight piping were noted where grey water is discharged and other locations noted
where septic tanks appeared to be functioning inadequately. The failure of the systems
and the inability to permanently repair the systems has caused concerns regarding real
estate value as well as health concerns. The failing septic systems harbor pathogenic
bacteria that can impact surface waters, which can damage the environment and threaten
the health of the residents. Economically, Goldston is unable to grow, and will eventually
lead to businesses and residents leaving the area. New business and industry is unable to
locate in Goldston due to their inability to provide adequate wastewater collection and
treatment, effectively stopping the Town's growth.

Environmental Report

October 2009
The J.S. Waters School WWTP had a violation of its BOD5 in 2006. In order to maintain
compliance with the NPDES permit parameters the school reports that they are not able to
use the kitchen and that they must use Styrofoam and disposable plastic dinnerware. A
centralized wastewater collection system will allow the elimination of the failing septic
systems and the J.S. Waters School discharge.
2 Alternatives to the Proposed Action
As there currently is no wastewater collection system, the only alternative to providing a
collection system is to take "no action ", and allow the existing septic systems to operate as they
are.
2.1 "No Action"
The "do nothing" alternative continues the status quo of the documented problems in the
area and is not considered a reasonable solution. Allowing the existing septic systems
and straight piping to operate as they are poses a health threat to the Town's residents.
The failing septic systems harbor pathogenic bacteria that can impact surface waters,
which can damage the environment and threaten the health of the residents.
Economically, Goldston is unable to grow, and will eventually lead to businesses and
residents leaving the area. These factors lead to a lessening of the overall quality of life
for the residents of Goldston.
2.2 Collection System Alternatives to the Proposed Project
2.2.1 Pressure Sewer System
Pressure sewer systems move wastewater via pressure flow. Each individual lot
would contain a 2 HP grinder pump that breaks down large solids before they are
transported through a 1.5 inch service lateral to the collection system pressure
main. Due to the velocities of pressure sewer, smaller pipe sizes, usually 2 to 4
inches are used. A three foot minimum cover over the pipeline can be
maintained while following existing grade. The proposed system would consist of
177 grinder pump stations, approximately 20,000 If of 1.5 inch service laterals,
18,200 If of 2 inch and 19,300 If of 4 inch pressure main.
Like the gravity sewer system, all wastewater would culminate at a point roughly
1,400 feet south of the Town limits along US Route 421 to a central pump station
that would convey the Town wastewater to one of the treatment and disposal
alternatives.
This option was not chosen based on a present worth analysis and the fact that
expansion of the system would be very difficult and cost prohibitive.
Environmental impacts were similar to the gravity sewer option.
2.2.2 Vacuum Sewer System
Vacuum sewer systems move wastewater via suction lift or negative pressure flow.
Services gravity discharge to a wet well with a valve pit. When enough
Town of Goldston 2009 Wastewater Collection System Page 6 of 17
Environmental Report

October 2009
wastewater collects in the sump, the valve opens and differential pressure propels
the contents into the vacuum main. Wastewater travels at 15 to 18 feet per
second in the vacuum main to the vacuum station. The vacuum main is laid in a
saw tooth fashion to ensure adequate vacuum levels at the end of each line. At
the vacuum station, vacuum pumps cycle on and off as needed to maintain a
constant level of vacuum on the entire system. Wastewater enters the collection
tank and when the tank fills to a predetermined level, sewage pumps transfer the
contents to the treatment plant via a force main. The vacuum station would be
located roughly 1,400 feet south of the Town limits along US Route 421.
The proposed vacuum sewer system consists of approximately 177 air vacuum
valves and pits at each lot with 3 inch service laterals to each main. Other piping
would consist of approximately 18,200 If of 4 inch and 19,300 If of 6 inch
pressure main to the vacuum lift station. The vacuum lift station would consist of
three 350 cfm vacuum pumps, a 1,500 gallon collection tank, and dual sewage
transfer pumps housed in a building.
This option was not chosen based on a present worth analysis and the fact that
expansion of the system would be very difficult and cost prohibitive.
Environmental impacts were similar to the gravity sewer option.
2.3 Treatment Alternatives to the Proposed Project
2.3.1 New Wastewater Treatment Plant
This treatment alternative consists of the construction of a new package
wastewater treatment plant to treat wastewater collected by the wastewater
collection system. Once collected, the wastewater would be treated in the
wastewater treatment facility, and discharged to the Deep River. The discharge
point would be located just downstream of the Goldston /Gulf water plant. Based
on the projected 20 year flows for the Town of Goldston and an allowance for
Chatham County economic development the facility would be a 0.105 mgd
wastewater treatment facility. The plant would consist of the following:
• Flow equalization and measurement
• Primary screening
• Anoxic basins
• Aeration basins
• Clarification with phosphorous removal
• Denitrification deep bed filtration
• Ultra - violet disinfection
• Sludge digestion and holding
Town of Goldston 2009 Wastewater Collection System Page 7 of 17
Environmental Report

October 2009
• Discharge to Deep River
The package wastewater treatment facility would be either a steel or concrete
structure. A dual process train system, required by North Carolina state
regulations, would allow the dewatering of a single process train and allow for
flow to be transmitted through the remaining train with no interruption in
treatment. It would also allow the wastewater treatment facility to be brought on
line with only one process train being in service. This would allow the 20 year
design flow to be staged and ultimate design flow to be operated through the dual
train system. Based on the stringent NPDES permit limits required for the Deep
River the WWTP would require biological and chemical nutrient removal, deep
bed filtration, and ultra - violet disinfection.
The exact location of the wastewater treatment facility is unknown; however it
would be located at a location outside of any streams, wetlands, or 100 year flood
plains. Construction runoff from the site would be controlled by erosion control
measures and would be temporary. Disturbance would be less than 1 acre for the
WWTP site. The total disturbance for the pump station and force main to the
discharge point would be similar to the pump station and force main to the City of
Sanford option. A headwall at the discharge would require a 404/401
certification.
The primary environmental impact of this option would be the discharge to the
Deep River. Based on review of the North Carolina Department of Environmental
Resources Division of Water Quality the NPDES Permitting Strategy for the Deep
River from the Carbonton Dam to the Haw River is to not allow any new
dischargers to discharge to the Deep River due to the inability of the river to
assimilate any more oxygen- consuming wastes or nutrient loading.
This option is not considered environmentally feasible unless the DWQ
determines that the elimination of the J.S. Walters School NPDES Permit with the
inclusion of this flow into the Town of Goldston WWTP would classify the
proposed discharge as an existing NPDES permitted discharge. Because the
existing discharge would be expanding to include the Goldston WWTP the basin
wide plan and the recent NPDES permit limits given to the City of Sanford NPDES
expansion indicates the NPDES limits would be BOD5 6 mg /I, NH4 -N 0.6 mg /I,
TN 3 mg /I, and TP 0.94 mg /I. These are some of the most stringent limits in the
State of North Carolina.
This option was not chosen based on a present worth analysis of the alternatives
and the environmental consequences of such a project.
2.3.2 Lagoon System with Spray Irrigation
Once collected, the wastewater would be delivered to the lagoon site via a pump
station. The wastewater would then be sprayed onto a parcel of land utilizing a
spray irrigation system. The spray irrigation system would consist of a pump
system, piping, and a collection of sprinklers. Monitoring wells would be drilled
in various locations to monitor for groundwater contamination. Although the soils
Town of Goldston 2009 Wastewater Collection System Page 8 of 17
Environmental Report

October 2009
within the Town of Goldston are not suitable to allow septic systems, there may
be land available that would sustain a land application.
A site has not been determined and assumptions have been made regarding the
site requirements. it is assumed that the land application site is owned by timber
companies and will require clearing and grubbing and is available within
approximately 2 miles of the pump station site. Such sites are present near the
Town. The hydraulic loading rate is assumed to be 30 inches per year, or 0.6
inches per week. This loading rate is based on previous data available from the
USDA and DWQ. The actual hydraulic loading rates would be used to determine
the amount of land required for the land application site. Buffers must be
incorporated around the land application site which adds to the area needed.
Additionally, during periods of wet weather, application is not possible, so
wastewater must be stored and applied when weather permits. Additional land is
recommended to allow application of this stored wastewater while still handling
normal influent flow. The minimum wetted acreage for 0.6 inches per week
would be roughly 60 acres for a 0.105 mgd treatment facility. A 400 foot buffer
around the land application site would add an additional 65 acres for a total of
125 acres of land required for land application.
Another required component of the treatment system is the lagoon for wastewater
storage. Since wastewater cannot be applied during inclement weather, an
additional 90 day capacity must be provided for wastewater storage above a 30
day treatment capacity. The required maximum storage would be 12.6 million
gallons, which equates to a lagoon surface area of 5.6 acres.
This option was not chosen based on a present worth analysis. it would also
require more land disturbance than any of the other alternatives.
3 Affected Environment/Environmental Consequences
Environmental consequences of the project have been outlined based on the selected
alternative consisting of a gravity sewer system and pump station and force main to the City of
Sanford gravity sewer system. The low pressure sewer system and vacuum sewer system are
not feasible based on a present worth analysis of the alternatives. They would also impact the
environment in much the same way as the gravity sewer alternative. The package WWTP is not
feasible based on environmental concerns outlined previously and the present worth analysis.
The spray irrigation alternative is not feasible due to both environmental concerns associated
with the amount of land involved and the present worth analysis. The "do nothing" alternative
has been rejected because it would continue to allow failing septic systems and straight piping
to discharge poorly treated wastewater to the environment with a potential to cause health
problems.
3.1 Land Use
3.1.1 General Land Use
The Town of Goldston is located in Chatham County, central North Carolina,
located on US Route 421, approximately 12 miles northwest of Sanford and 5 '/2
Town of Goldston 2009 Wastewater Collection System Page 9 of 17
Environmental Report

October 2009
miles from the Lee County line. The Town of Goldston had an estimated
population of 355 people in 2008. Most of the businesses are concentrated in the
center of Town along US Route 421. Currently, the entire Town is unzoned, with
the exception of a roughly '/2 mile wide swath of land centered along US Route
421, zoned Office & Institutional. The project area consists of the land required
to install sanitary sewer lines, a pump station, and a force main. The sewer mains
would be located within existing North Carolina Department of Transportation
and Town of Goldston rights -of way, and on private property, usually following
natural drainage ways.
3.1.2 Important Farm Land, Prime Rangeland, and Forestland
3.1.2.1 Affected Environment
There are no important farmlands, prime rangelands or forestlands
located within the project boundaries. This determination is based on
the type of soils listed on the NRCS soils map which are not designated
by the USDA NRCS as prime or important farmland. (See soils map in
Appendix 2). The collection system is contained within the Town limits
and the pump station and force main are adjacent to or within road right
of ways.
3.1.2.2 Environmental Consequences
There are no direct, indirect, or cumulative effects to important
farmland, prime rangeland, or forestland resources as there are none
within the vicinity of the project area.
3.1.2.3 Mitigation
No mitigation measures are needed for this resource
3.1.3 Formally Classified Lands
3.1.3.1 Affected Environment
There are four United States Forest Service (USFS) preserves located in
North Carolina - Nantahala, Pisgah, Croatan and Uwharrie National
Forest. The project is located in Chatham County which is not close to
any of these USFS sites. A search of the National Park Service web site
shows that there is one national park, Guilford Courthouse National
Military Park, located 48 miles away, and no places of national
significance within 50 miles of Goldston, NC, which is the site of the
project. There is one state park in the proximity of Goldston, Jordan
Lake State Park, which is approximately 40 miles from the project site.
Town of Goldston 2009 Wastewater Collection System Page 10 of 17
Environmental Report

October 2009
3.1.3.2 Environmental Consequences
There are no direct, indirect, or cumulative effects to these properties as
there are no formerly classified lands within the vicinity of the project
area.
3.1.3.3 Mitigation
No mitigation measures are needed for this resource.
3.1.4 Floodplains
3.1.4.1 Affected Environment
FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM'S) show that no portion of the
Town of Goldston is near the 100 year or 500 year floodplain. FIRM's
depict that the entire Town and proposed pump station are well clear of
any flood hazard areas. The 100 year and 500 year flood plain abuts
portions of US 421, in which the force main will be located. The
crossing of the Deep River, to be done by directional bore, will require a
temporary disturbance within the flood plain to perform the operation.
A map of the project with the floodplain shown is included in Appendix
3.
3.1.4.2 Environmental Consequences
The directional bore that may be required to install the force main
beneath the Deep River will require a very small temporary disturbance
within the flood plain. The disturbance would consist of the clearing of
a small (50 foot X 30 foot) area to stage the boring equipment and
perform the boring operation. The disturbance would be completed in
one work week, and the cleared area immediately seeded after
construction.
3.1.4.3 Mitigation
A sedimentation and erosion control plan will be required during
construction and will be made part of the project plans and
specifications, along with the requirement for use of "best management"
construction practices. The disturbed area will be seeded immediately
after construction. A directional bore underneath rivers and streams will
help to minimize detrimental effects to the floodplain.
3.1.5 Wetlands
3.1.5.1 Affected Environment
Based on available maps and preliminary field visits, it is not anticipated
that any jurisdictional wetlands will be located in the project area. The
USGS map indicates that there are potential intermittent streams within
Town of Goldston 2009 Wastewater Collection System Page 1 1 of 17
Environmental Report

October 2009
the service area. See Appendix 4 for a wetlands map of the area.
Wetland information taken from the National Wetlands Inventory
provided by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
3.1.5.2 Environmental Consequences
It is not anticipated that there will be any wetlands directly impacted
during construction of the sewer mains, pump station, and force main. It
is estimated that there will be 5 intermittent stream crossings required,
which will be done by directional bore if necessary, or by open cut only
when water level is low and flow is minimal. Though state rules do not
mandate establishment of riparian buffers in the Cape Fear River Basin, a
15 foot undisturbed buffer will be maintained where feasible. When not
feasible all sewer will be installed a minimum of 10 feet away from the
existing stream bank. The availability of sewer service may support
some future development in the project area. Along with an increase in
population it is anticipated that comparable industrial /commercial
growth would occur. Environmental protection will be addressed by the
fact that all new development would be subject to local and state
regulations regarding storm water management, impervious area
limitations, and sedimentation and erosion control regulations.
3.1.5.3 Mitigation
A sedimentation and erosion control plan will be required during
construction and will be made part of the project plans and
specifications, along with the requirement for use of "best management'
construction practices. A directional bore underneath rivers and streams
will help to minimize detrimental effects to wetlands areas if any are
encountered.
3.1.6 Cultural Resources
3.1.6.1 Affected Environment
There are no cultural resources adversely affected by the proposed
project according to a document provided by the Department of Cultural
Resources dated July 07, 2009. This document is attached as part of
Appendix 8.
3.1.6.2 Environmental Consequences
There are no direct, indirect, or cumulative effects to these properties as
the project area is far from these resources.
3.1.6.3 Mitigation
No mitigation measures are needed for this resource.
Town of Goldston 2009 Wastewater Collection System Page 12 of 17
Environmental Report

October 2009
3.1.7 Biological Resources
3.1.7.1 Affected Environment
The entire project area drains to tributaries of the Deep River. None of
the project area drains to tributaries of Bear Creek. See Appendix 5 for
the delineation of the project area, stream locations, and proposed utility
locations.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service identifies three species listed as
"endangered ", twelve species listed as "species of concern ", and no
species listed as "threatened" in Chatham County. The species
classified as "endangered" are the Cape Fear Shiner with a status of
"current ", the Red Cockaded Woodpecker with a status of "historic ", and
the Harperella with a status of "current ". A status of "current" signifies it
has been observed in the area within the past 50 years, and a status of
"historic" signifies it has not been observed in the area within the past
50 years. A complete listing is provided in Appendix 6.
In addition to the federally listed endangered species the North Carolina
Wildlife Resource Commission has indicated that the state endangered
Yellow Lampmussel may be present in the Deep River.
3.1.7.2 Environmental Consequences
Only temporary impacts are expected to biological resources. The
availability of sewer service may support some future development in
the project area. Along with an increase in population it is anticipated
that comparable industrial /commercial growth would occur.
Environmental protection will be addressed by the fact that all new
development would be subject to local and state regulations regarding
storm water management, impervious area limitations, and
sedimentation and erosion control regulations.
The project will improve the water quality not only by eliminating the
failing septic systems and instances of straight piping but also by
eliminating the J.S. Waters School discharge.
3.1.7.3 Mitigation
A sedimentation and erosion control plan will be required during
construction and will be made part of the project plans and
specifications along with the requirement for use of "best management'
construction practices. Appropriate seeding will be utilized for both
wetland and non - wetland areas. Directionally boring beneath the Deep
River will minimize impacts the potential Yellow Lampmussel habitat.

Environmental Report

October 2009
3.1.8 Water Quality
3.1.8.1 Affected Environment
Affected water bodies include unnamed tributaries to Indian Creek,
Cedar Creek, and the Deep River. Where the water bodies will be
impacted the Indian Creek is classified as a WS -IV; NSW water body;
Cedar Creek is classified as a C water body; and the Deep River is
classified as a WS -IV water body. All water bodies are in sub basin 03-
06-11 of the Cape Fear River Basin. None of the areas to be disturbed
by the project are listed on the State's 2006 303 (d) list. However,
upstream of where impacts will occur the Deep River is listed on the
303 (d) list as being impaired due to mercury levels in fish.
3.1.8.2 Environmental Consequences
Temporary negative impacts are expected due to erosion and
sedimentation. Long term negative consequences are expected to occur
due to increased development within the service area. Long term
positive impacts to water quality will be realized due to the elimination
of the existing failing septic systems, straight pipes, and the discharge
from the J.S. Waters School. All these discharges will be treated to
tertiary standards at the Sanford WWTP and discharged to the Deep
River.
3.1.8.3 Mitigation
Short term sedimentation and erosion will be controlled by instituting an
erosion control plan approved by the State and made a part of the
project plans and specifications along with the requirement for use of
"best management' construction practices. Appropriate seeding will be
utilized for both wetland and non - wetland areas. Directionally boring
beneath the Deep River will minimize sediment entering the river. Long
term impacts due to development will be mitigated by state and local
regulations designed to minimize impact to water quality.
3.1.9 Coastal Resources
3.1.9.1 Affected Environment
The proposed project is located in Chatham County, NC which is not a
coastal county.
3.1.9.2 Environmental Consequences
There are no direct, indirect, or cumulative effects to coastal resources,
because Chatham County is not a coastal county.

October 2009
3.1.9.3 Mitigation
No mitigation measures are needed for this resource.
3.1.10 Socio- Economic /Environmental justice
3.1.10.1 Affected Environment
The 2000 census shows that the population of Goldston is comprised of
White Non - Hispanic (88.4 %), Hispanic (2.5 %), Black (6.6 %), and Other
race (2.5 %). The 2000 poverty rate for Goldston was 13.9% and
median household income was $35,000 compared to a state average of
12.3% and $39,184 respectively. USDA lists the 2008 Chatham County
unemployment rate at 5.0% and statewide average of 6.3 %. The
proposed project will not have any adverse human health or
environmental effects. See Appendix 7 for Form RECD 2006 -38 which
certifies that no major civil rights impact is likely to result from this
project.
3.1.10.2 Environmental Consequence
The proposed project could support development that would create
additional skilled and non - skilled jobs which will help the local
economy. The addition of a sewer system would allow for the
abandonment of failing septic tanks improving the environment of the
affected residents. This could lead to development of land resources
resulting in a higher population density. The Town has recently
developed a Master Land Use Plan to determine where future growth
would occur should a wastewater collection and treatment system be
installed. The land use plan shows future commercial growth to occur
along US Route 421 and around areas which currently contain industry.
The remaining properties would be zoned residential to support 0.5 acre
lots, or 2 units /acre.
3.1.10.3 Mitigation
No mitigation measures are needed for this resource.
3.2 Miscellaneous Issues
3.2.1 Air Quality
3.2.1.1 Affected Environment
Dust control will be a requirement during construction, but some
amount of dust associated with excavating and grading can be expected.
This minor impact to air quality will be temporary. Long term
consequences include odor from hydrogen sulfide generated at the
pump station which could be noticeable at the pump station site, at air
release valves along the route of the force main, and at the force main

October 2009
discharge. The standby generator will also generate small amounts of
emissions but the size of the generator is below the threshold for
requiring an air quality permit.
3.2.1.2 Environmental Consequences
Minor temporary impacts to the immediate surrounding area from
include dust generated during construction activities. The only long
term consequences include odor.
3.2.1.3 Mitigation
Dust generation will be mitigated by sprinkling water on the areas being
worked on when dust is observed. Odor will be mitigated by installing
a chemical feed system at the pump stain site to slow the production of
hydrogen sulfide. Carbon canisters may also be used at air release valve
locations. The use of the standby generator is limited to power outages
and periodic testing for readiness.
3.2.2 Transportation
3.2.2.1 Affected Environment
A majority of the sewer mains will be installed within existing roadway
rights of way, and will sometimes cross under the existing roadways.
3.2.2.2 Environmental Consequences
There will be no indirect or cumulative effects from the project, but
there will be some minor, temporary traffic impacts to the immediate
surrounding area during construction along -side and across existing
roadways.
3.2.2.3 Mitigation
Approved NCDOT temporary traffic control measures including traffic
control devices, signage, and worker safety measures will be utilized
during construction.
3.2.3 Noise
3.2.3.1 Affected Environment
The immediate area of the project will experience some temporary
impact resulting from construction equipment necessary to grade the
pump station site, and install the sewer mains.
Town of Goldston 2009 Wastewater Collection System Page 16 of 17
Environmental Report

October 2009
3.2.3.2 Environmental Consequences
The impact of additional noise from the construction equipment will be
temporary and only during construction. There will not be any indirect
or cumulative noise impacts.
3.2.3.3 Mitigation
To mitigate noise problems construction will normally be limited to 8
A.M. to 5 P.M.
4 Summary of Mitigation
Mitigation will consist of the following:
■ Installation and maintenance of agency approved erosion and sediment control
measures and "best management practices ", and maintenance of these measures
throughout the construction.
• Directional bores beneath water bodies where appropriate
• All disturbed areas will be seeded immediately after construction
• Approved NCDOT temporary traffic control measures including traffic control
devices, signage, and worker safety measures will be utilized during construction
• State and local development regulations
• Odor control chemicals
■ Soil wetting to control dust
■ Limited work hours

Definitions of Federal Status Codes:
E = endangered. A taxon "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 "CI" 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. Taxa proposed for official listing as endangered or threatened will be noted as "PE" or "PT ", respectively.
Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGPA):
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 http:// wNJTJv .fws.gov /migratorybirds/baldea �1� e.htm
Threatened due to similarity of auuearance(T(S /A)):
In the November 4, 1997 Federal Register (55822 - 55825), the northern population 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 listed as T(S /A) (threatened due to similarity of appearance). The T(S /A)
designation bans the collection and interstate and international commercial trade 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.
