Reeder Governor Director FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT (FONSI) The Cary/Apex Water Treatment Facility Phase 111 Expansion Project Wake and Chatham County, North Carolina Dee Freeman Secretary fhe State Environmental Policy Act (G.S. 113A) requires that the Division of Environmental Health determine whether a proposed major agency action will significantly affect the environment. The Cary/Apex Water Treatment Facility Phase III Expansion Project is such a major action. In order to determine whether the expansion of the Cary/Apex Water Treatment Facility, Raw Water Pump Station, and transmission main improvements to the Cary/Apex Water Treatment Facility will cause significant environmental impacts, an environmental assessment has been prepared. The environmental assessment is attached. It contains detailed information on the key issues, including a brief description of the proposed project and a summary of probable environmental impacts with proposed mitigations. None of the impacts were found to be significant. This project shall be reviewed as a NEPA- LikeiSEPA project. On the basis of the analysis of the impacts as shown in the environmental assessment, no environmental impact statement (EIS) will be prepared. This FONSI completes the environmental review record. The FONSI and Environmental Assessment shall be available for inspection and comment for 30 days at the State Clearinghouse. Summary of FONSI for publication in the Environmental Bulletin: After completion of an environmental assessment under G.S. 113A, a FONSI has been made in the case of the City of Albemarle Water Transmission Line Booster Stations and Storage Tank Project Information supporting the need for the proposed project was reviewed, along with relative impacts, other alternative approaches and mitigating measures. h _ homas A ceder (Date) Director, nvironmental Health Public Water Supply Section - Jessica C.

The site is located immediately northwest of the NC Highway 64, State Park Road intersection in Chatham County, NC. The specific geographic coordinates (in decimal degrees) where the work is planned is 35.7388N and - 79.0209W. Your notification indicated that you intend to permanently impact a total of 18 square feet of Jordan Lake for the installation of the intake support system. Based on the information provided in your notification, your work is authorized by Nationwide Permit (NWP) 12 for Utility Line Activities and does not require a pre - construction notification (PCN) provided it is accomplished in strict accordance with the attached conditions and your submitted description. Any violation of the attached conditions or deviation from your submitted description may subject the permittee to a stop work order, a restoration order and /or appropriate legal action. Attached is a copy of the NWP 12 and the applicable permit conditions. This verification is valid until the NWP is modified, reissued, or revoked. All of the existing NWPs are scheduled to be modified, reissued, or revoked prior to March 18, 2017. It is incumbent upon you to remain informed of changes to the NWPs. We will issue a public notice when the NWPs are reissued. Furthermore, if you commence or are under contract to commence this activity before the date that the relevant nationwide permit is modified or revoked, you will have twelve (12) months from the date of the modification or revocation of the NWP to complete the activity under the present terms and conditions of this nationwide permit. The Action Identification Number for this project is SAW- 2013 -00561. Activities subject to Section 404 (as indicated above) may also require an individual Section 401 Water Quality Certification. You should contact the NC Division of Water Quality (telephone: 919 - 807 -6300) to determine Section 401 requirements. This response to your notification does not relieve the permittee of the responsibility to obtain any other required Federal, State or local approvals /permits. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this permit or the conditions. You can call me at telephone (919) 554 -4884, ext 26 or contact me via e-mail at andrew.e.williams2 @usace.army.mil.

They are upgrading the raw water pump station and intakes in Jordan Lake. During the EA process Jamie Shern stated that a Section 404 permit would be required and that once the project is designed that he would be able to determine whether a Nationwide Permit or an Individual Permit would be appropriate. Because this is a utility line project we were assuming a Nationwide 12 would be suitable. Basically we are proposing to install new air burst pipes adjacent to the existing intake lines and then add a new lower emergency intake in Jordan Lake. I have attached a plan sheet and also an aerial to illustrate the area that would be impacted. The proposed air lines will be underground so temporary impacts would occur along the lake edge (replaced to existing contours and revegetated once installed) and then once in the open water the new lines and apparatuses will be placed on the existing pipe saddles or new pipe saddles to be installed for the new lower intake. From what I understand, no trees would be removed from the 50' Jordan Lake buffers as the area for installation of the air burst lines is currently mowed /maintained. 1 wanted to make certain that we are heading down the right path for submission of the permits and if you think a NW 12 is appropriate for this work? Also, we of course are in the Jordan Lake buffers but this area is currently maintained for this use so I was wondering if the replacement of the air pipes would be exempt for buffers due to the Present and Ongoing use?

If additional clearing is required then a buffer authorization would be necessary because it looks like the project would have a maintenance corridor greater than 10 feet in width, which is an Allowable use. Our water quality certification (attached) that corresponds to NWP 12 requires written approval if there are impacts other than those listed as exempt in the Jordan Lake Buffer Rules or if the maintenance corridor exceeds 15 feet in width.
