Subject: SAW-2020-00777 / Town of Clayton Neuse River WRF / Covered Bridge Road / Town of Clayton / Johnston
County, NC - REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
Good Afternoon, Troy:
Based on my most recent understanding of the project, the application appears to be incomplete. However, if I'm
mistaken or things have changed, please advise and I can walk that back. However, NMFS still needs to be addressed.
Please see below.
1) Please note that though all structures would be below ground with no permanent change to floodplain
contours, a floodplain development permit may still be required by the Town of Clayton. Use of our verification
will be contingent on the project's compliance with the National Flood Insurance Program.

2) On August 26th, we conducted a pre -application meeting with the Town (Rich Copola), as well as Craig Crowther
and Lee White with Gannet Fleming. During that call, we advised that the outfall design should be shared as
soon as possible so that coordination with the NMFS can be initiated. Please provide a scaled version of the
exhibit, "Clayton WRF 30" Outfall Temporary Shoring" so I can begin that coordination. I will also need this
information to consider work within Navigable waters.
3) I also suggested during the pre -application meeting that a nationwide permit 39 would be appropriate, though
I'm flexible on that. The reasoning was so they could include details of the force main (gifted to the Town by
Novo Nordisk) feeding into the new facility (which we discussed being included in the application) via a shared
pump station with Grifols, and any temporary impacts associated with utility line access. Please explain why this
information was not included.

NWP 7/401 WQC/Buffer Authorization PCN - Request for Additional Info Submittal
Clayton, Johnston County
USACE AID: SAW-2020-00777
NCDWR Proj #20201550
WR Project #02190247.00
Dear Mr. Hopper,
This letter is in response to your email dated 12/1/2021 requesting additional information for the
NWP 7 PCN submitted on 11/05/2021. Our responses are as follows:
1) Please note that though all structures would be below ground with no permanent change to
floodplain contours, a floodplain development permit may still be required by the Town of Clayton.
Use of our verification will be contingent on the project's compliance with the National Flood
Insurance Program.
The proposed project does require a Floodplain Development Permit from the Town of Clayton,
which was issued on 12/9/2021. A copy of the Floodplain Development Permit has been provided
as an attachment.
2) On August 26th, we conducted a pre -application meeting with the Town (Rich Copola), as well as
Craig Crowther and Lee White with Gannet Fleming. During that call, we advised that the outfall
design should be shared as soon as possible so that coordination with the NMFS can be initiated.
Please provide a scaled version of the exhibit, "Clayton WRF 30" Outfall Temporary Shoring" so I
can begin that coordination. I will also need this information to consider work within Navigable
waters.
As requested, a scaled version of the "Clayton WRF 30 Outfall Temporary Shoring" plan has been
provided as an attachment.
The construction of the outfall is tentatively scheduled to begin on 5/2/2022 and be completed
by 7/29/2022 as noted on the attached Page 39 of the WRF project schedule. The outfall
construction was specifically scheduled by Gannett Fleming within the window specified during
the 8/26/2021 pre -application meeting to avoid issues with anadromous species migration.

3) I also suggested during the pre -application meeting that a nationwide permit 39 would be
appropriate, though I'm flexible on that. The reasoning was so they could include details of the
force main (gifted to the Town by Novo Nordisk) feeding into the new facility (which we discussed
being included in the application) via a shared pump station with Grifols, and any temporary
impacts associated with utility line access. Please explain why this information was not included.
The force main you reference as discussed by Gannett Fleming in the 8/26/2021 pre -application
meeting is the "East Clayton Industrial Area" (ECIA) force main. The ECIA is intended to serve the
industrial area of Clayton which includes Grifols and Novo Nordisk and will eventually connect to
the future gravity sewer line conveying flow to the Neuse WRF which was permitted under the
NWP 58 for the Little Creek Transmission Improvements project (SAW-2020-00777) issued
3/24/2021. The ECIA force main is still in the planning stages. Currently the final alignment of
the easements to be acquired has not been finalized. The environmental delineations and survey
work needed for the engineering design has not and cannot be conducted until the final alignment
and easements have been determined. Therefore, the engineering design of the ECIA force main
sufficient to determine impacts to wetlands, streams and riparian buffers for construction will
likely not be completed until late 2022. The stream and wetland impacts for the construction of
the ECIA force main will be permitted once the alignment and design have been completed.
Therefore, the ECIA force main should not be included as part of this application due to the
uncertainty of when the ECIA design will be completed.
In regard to the use of an NWP 39 or NWP 7, the applicant defers to the USACE's preference.
Sincerely,
WithersRavenel
