Your memo to Boyd DeVane concerning review of the referenced
document has been referred to me for response. I. have reviewed
the document and the accompanying EA and have circulated it
to our Technical Support Branch. Below is a summary of our
comments.
The scope of the EA in terms of covering both primary and
secondary as well as short and long term impacts was generally
good. However, in the discussion of secondary nonpoint source
impacts under Water Quality on page 14, the final sentence in
that section appears to be misleading or in need of elaboration.
Is the Town really planning on implementing a stormwater
management policy that would addressthe impacts of stormwater on
water quality? If yes, they are to be commended and details
should be provided. If no, the statement should be deleted. If
implementation of such a policy is not being planned, the
discussions on water quality under Section C. (Adverse Impacts
Which Cannot Be Avoided and Mitigative Measures) must be revised
to accomodate this change.
See also the June 25, 1990 memo from Juan Mangeles of our
Technical Support Branch (attached). He identifies several items
which need to be corrected or elaborated on. Most of his
comments pertain to the level of assessment of the direct water
quality impacts in the EA.
With the exception of those items presented above, the
document appears to be acceptable. Please contact either Juan or
me if you have any questions.

SUBJECT:
June 25, 1990
Amendment No. 2 to the
201 Facilities Plan
Kinston Northside (NC0024236) and
Kinston Peachtree (NC0020541)
Wastewater Treatment Plants
Lenoir County
The Technical Support Branch has reviewed the subject Amendment of the 201
Facilities Plan for the City of Kinston Northside and Peachtree WWTP's. Our review
indicated that all significant issues of concern are properly addressed for the
basic design of the additional facilities.
However, the environmental assessment (EA) of the proposed project failed to
specifically address the adverse/beneficial water quality impacts associated with
the proposed addition of phosphorus removal and dechlorination facilities. The
EA did not elaborate on the effect of the discharge on dissolved oxygen, NH3-N,
total nitrogen, BOD5, and toxics concentrations in receiving waters which are near
exhaustion of their assimilative capacity. The EA report only notes that "disposal
of effluents into the receiving streams is not expected to have a significant
impact on the receiving streams as the proposed treatment facilities are planned to
produce effluent quality that will protect the current assigned water quality."
Although, the Technical Support Branch does not anticipate additional adverse water
quality impacts at the existing flows, we feel that the EA should have addressed,
in detail, the impact of the aforementioned parameters in the Neuse River system
due to the discharge from the existing and proposed treatment works.
Finally, the report erroneously indicates that DEM requires compliance with
the 2 mg/1 total phosphorus limitation in 1995. Please note that in January, 1988
the Environmental Management Commission stipulated a target compliance date of May
1, 1993 for existing facilities with design flow rates of 0.5 MGD or greater in the
Neuse River basin.
