ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
Town of Fairmont - Sewer Project
December 18, 1995
I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND NEED
The proposed project involves the construction of a new 1.75mechanical wastewater
treatment plant near the Lumber River along with approximately 5 000 LF of 12" Forced
c7
Main. Also included in the project is the replacement of 4,100 LF of 4" and 6" existing
collection lines that do meet today's standards along with the installation of approximately
26,430 LF of new gravity collection lines in areas soon to be annexed into the town. The
proposed system will serve approximately 1 180 existing customers and approximately 134
new residential customers. The total estimated project cost is $6,871,300.
The proposed improvements are needed to correct problems with the old existing system in
the town. Currently the town is under a Special Order by Consent and a Moratorium
because of its failure to pass required toxicity tests. This SOC and Moratorium severely limits
the growth of the town. The proposed project will correct these problems.
II. PRIMARY BENEFICIARIES AND RELATED ACTIVITIES
The primary beneficiaries of the proposed project will be the residential population of the
Town of Fairmont. This project will cause no significant increase in business for the existing
businesses in the area since the users of the system will be people who are already living in the
area. Building and construction supply businesses may experience a temporary improvement
in business during the construction of the project.
There are no related activities in this case which are defined as interdependent part of a
USDA, Rural Economic and Community Development action.
III. DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AREA
The sewer collection improvements are proposed to be installed in the Town of Fairmont.
The wastewater treatment plant will be located approximately one mile south of U.S. Hwy.
74 between SR 2244 and SR 2245. The forced main from the Town of Fairmont will be
installed in the right-of-way of NC Hwy 130 and then along SR 2245 to the plant. Town of
Fairmont is located in Robeson County, North Carolina. See Exhibit II "Project Maps".
IV. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
1. Air Quality: There will be no emissions resulting directly from the proposed project
after the project is completed. During construction, the machinery utilized to install the sewer
system will produce some emissions resulting from combustion of petroleum products used to
power the equipment. The specifications will require equipment utilized on the project to
operate within emissions limits as established by the State of North Carolina for construction
equipment. During the installation of collection lines, the vegetation to be cleared will be
hauled to the county landfill or burned. All burning will be conducted under controlled
conditions with the appropriate burning permits from local authorities. All construction
related air emissions will be temporary and will not have a significant impact on the air
quality.

.
• l� 2
2. Water Quality: The quality of surface and/or underground water will not be adversely
affected by the proposed project. The current treatment plant discharges into Pittman Mill
Branch which is a low flow stream. Fairmont's wastewater discharge makes up practically the
entire flow of the stream. Because the discharge will now be in the Lumber River, a much
larger flow of water, and because the entire treatment process will be upgraded, the water
quality for this area will be improved.
3. Solid Waste Management: Solid waste created by the proposed project will included
steel bands, wood shipping timbers, plastic buckets, PVC pipe trimmings, and other normal
waste from building construction. Contract documents shall included the following: "Wastes
shall not be buried or burned on the site or disposed of into storm drains, sanitary sewers,
streams, or waterways. All waste shall be removed from the site and disposed of in a manner
complying with local ordinances and antipollution laws." The Engineer is responsible to
assure that this portion of the contract is met. The by-products of the treatment will be
disposed of in the county landfill.
4. Land Use: The proposed project will not have any significant impacts, either directly or
indirectly, on land use within the town.
The construction of the sewer system will not significantly contribute to residential or
industrial growth within the project area as there 4 very little new lines in the proposed
system. There will be some growth because persons growing up in the area and others
moving into the area for employment will likely construct homes along the sewer lines. Such
development has occurred in the past along existing sewer lines in the area and will likely
continue in the future.
All new sewer lines will be constructed within the town limits of Fairmont or in residential
areas which will become a part of Fairmont very soon. This area has been determined to be
"urban buildup" and therefore no prime or important farmland exist within this part of the
project area.
The wastewater treatment plant will be constructedpproximately one mile south of U.S.
Hwy 74 between SR 2244 and SR 2245. The fort main from the Town of Fairmont will
be installed in the right-of-way of NC Hwy 130 and th along SR 2245 to the plant.
As is the case in most of eastern North Carolina, many areas of important farmlands occur
along the forced main proposed route. However, there are no other reasonably alternative
routes to consider. Furthermore, the same would be true about important farmlands
regardless of the route chosen.
Also, several areas of floodplains and wetlands exist both in the town limits and along the
proposed forced main route. The floodplains and wetlands occur primarily near the swamp
crossings and near the Lumber River. The wastewater treatment site is one of a few small
tracts in that area that is not located in a floodplain or wetland. Although the majority of
the construction will occur in existing highway rights-of-way, any wetlands or floodplains
disturbed during construction will be return as close as possible to its natural state at the end
of construction.
To mitigate the above environmental concerns, the town will be required to agree not to
place connections to this system for new construction in areas of important farmlands for
other than residential or agricultural purposes. Furthermore, the town must agree not to
install connections for any new construction In areas of floodplains or wetlands.

• 3
5. Transportation: There will be minor interruptions in traffic flows during construction.
The impact of these delays will be minimized by the use of safety personnel and avoiding
traffic blockages during peak travel times. Since these delays will be few and of short duration,
it is determined that there will be no significant impact on transportation. No effect is
anticipated after construction.
6. Natural Environment: This project will have no adverse effect on the natural
environment. According to the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Officer, there are
no structures or sites of historical significance located in areas to be used for the construction
of the proposed project.
7. Human Population: There will be no relocation of people caused by the project. The
proposed project could accommodate a moderate amount of population increase, however,
the history of this area would indicate there will be only very modest increases in population.
There will be no significant change in services required such as health care, social services, and
fire protection.
As discussed in Section IV 2, positive impacts of the project on the quality of ground water
should improve the general health of the present and future population in the service area.
8. Construction: During the construction phase there will be minimal temporary effects on
air quality, noise levels, soil erosion, and siltation. Impacts will be minimized in each of these
areas as discussed above. Approval for Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plans will be
obtained from the Land Quality Section of the N. C. Department of Natural Resources and
Community Development before any development begins.
9. Energy Impacts: The major type of energy used for this project will be electricity for
treatment and pumping of sewer. The electricity will be supplied by CP81L and will not have
measurable impact on the total supply of energy for the area.
V. COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT ACT
The project is not within nor will it impact an area affected by the Coastal Zone Management
Act.
VI. COMPLIANCE WITH ADVISORY COUNCIL ON HISTORIC PRESERVATION'S
REGULATIONS
USDA, Rural Economic and Community Development Instructions 1901-F.1 A has been
reviewed and the proposed sites does not contain or affect a historic place listed in the
National Register of Historic Places. The State Historic Preservation Officer has determined
there are no properties of architectural, historic, or archaeological significance which would be
affected by the proposed project.

. i

VII. COMPLIANCE WITH THE WILD AND SCENIC RIVERS ACT
The discharge point for the proposed wastewater treatment plant is the Lumber River. This
river is included in the Wild and Scenic Rivers Inventory List for North Carolina. However,
the proposed project will not significantly change the quantity, quality, or flow characteristics
of the river as the flow of the Lumber River is many times in excess of the discharge of the
proposed plant. The North Carolina Department of Health and Natural Resources, Division
of Parks and Recreation has indicated in a letter dated November 17, 1995 that the
proposed plant will not cause a problem with the Lumber River State Park. Also a biological
assessment was completed by Dr. J.H. Carter 111 and Associates on October 13, 1995 which
indicated the proposed project would have no significant impacts on natural resources of
concern or protected species.
VIII. COMPLIANCE WITH THE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT
).H. Carter III and Associates conducted a Preliminary Biological Assessment for the project
area and has determined that the project will not have significant impacts on natural resources
or protected species. This assessment is attached as Appendix A.
IX. COMPLIANCE WITH FARMLAND PROTECTION ACT AND DEPARTMENTAL
REGULATION 9500-3, LAND USE POLICY
RECD has analyzed the project's potential impacts on important land resources covered by
these regulations (see section IV). The conclusion was reached that there could possibly be
indirect impacts of important farmland as result of the project. The mitigation requirements
were also discussed in section IV.
X. COMPLIANCE WITH EXECUTIVE ORDER 11988, FLOODPLAIN
MANAGEMENT, AND EXECUTIVE ORDER 11990, PROTECTION OF WETLANDS
The project potential impacts on floodplains and wetlands was analyzed and discussed in
section IV of this report. The conclusion was reached that there could be direct and indirect
impacts to floodplains and wetlands. The mitigation requirements were also discussed in
section IV.
XI. COMPLIANCE WITH COASTAL BARRIER RESOURCES ACT
This project will not be located within the Coastal Barrier Resources System.
XII. STATE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT
The state of North Carolina does have a State Environmental Policy Act. However, on a
federal action where an environmental assessment is performed no further reviews are
required by the State.
XIII. CONSULTATION REQUIREMENTS OF EXECUTIVE ORDER 12372,
INTERGOVERNMENTAL REVIEW OF FEDERAL PROGRAMS
The Intergovernmental Review process has been followed. See attached Clearinghouse
Comments. Comments included concerns for endangered species, important farmland,
wetlands, and floodplains. All have been addressed in other sections of this assessment.

XIV. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS OF PARTICIPATING FEDERAL AGENCY
i
No other environmental assessments have been prepared by any participating Federal agency
in this project.
XV. REACTION TO PROJECT
Public hearings have not been held concerning this project. No adverse reaction has been
noted.
XVI. CUMULATIVE IMPACTS
The project as proposed will provide much needed sewer improvements for the residents of
Town of Fairmont. No other cumulative impacts are expected as a result of this project.
XVII. ADVERSE IMPACTS
Several minor adverse impacts may be associated with this project. These impacts are
identified below:
A. Some possible erosion and sedimentation during construction.
B. Some localized decrease in air quality around construction.
C. Some pipeline construction will occur in floodplains and wetlands at stream and swamp
crossings.
D. Potential for some indirect conversion of prime and important farmland, floodplains, and
wetlands.
No major adverse impacts have been identified for the project. All the major impacts are
positive and related to the improved health and quality of life for residents of the service
area.
XVIII. ALTERNATIVES
There are no other sites or designs that would have less impact on the environment than the
project as proposed. Several alternatives were considered for the site of the treatment plant.
The original site was located between Pea Ridge Road (S.R. 2244) and the Lumber River.
Following execution of the option for this property, the Town was contacted by the Division
of Parks and Recreation and informed that the property along Pea Ridge Road had been
designated as a proposed State Park headquarters. As a result the Town relinquished its
option on this site and looked in other areas. The proposed site is located between Pea Ridge
Road and S.R. 2245. The Division of Parks and Recreation has indicated this site will not
adversely affect their plans for the area.
Also considered was the modification of the existing treatment plant. However, as previously
mentioned, the existing plant discharges into the Pittman Mill Branch which is a low flow
stream. The construction of a new plant at this site does not guarantee the resolution of the
toxicity problems due to the lack of dilution. Another alternative considered was to pump to
the City of Lumberton. This option was cost prohibited. Still another alternative considered
was a Land Application system. This option was discovered to be cost prohibited and
environmentally unsafe because of the high water table in the area and the possibility of
groundwater contamination.

6
Another alternative could be to do nothing. This alternative is not acceptable to the residents
of the Fairmont.
XIX. MITIGATION MEASURES
A. All permits required by state and local government (i.e. burning, S8tE, etc.) shall be
obtained prior to the beginning of construction.
B. Final specifications will require equipment utilized on the project to operate within
emissions limits as established by the State, for construction equipment.
C. All vegetation cleared will be hauled to the county landfill or otherwise properly disposed
of.
D. Solid wastes shall not be buried or burned on site or disposed of into storm drains,
sanitary waters, streams or waterways. All waste shall be removed from the site and
disposed of in a manner complying with local ordinances and anti pollution laws.
E. Impact on Farmland: To minimize future impacts on prime and important farmland the
Town will be required to adopt the following mitigation measure:
TOWN OF FAIRMONT RESTRICTION ON FUTURE SEWER SERVICE AND SITE
SELECTION TO PROTECT FARMLAND.
The sewer system will not install future service taps for NEW construction outside of
the town limits to non-agricultural or residential development without first determining
if the site contains important farmlands and then if it does the written concurrence of
the USDA, Rural Economic and Community Development must be obtained. The
town further agrees to select future facility sites to avoid conversion of important
farmland.
F. Impact on Floodplains: To minimize future impacts on fioodplains the Town be required
to adopt the following mitigation measure:
TOWN OF FAIRMONT RESTRICTION ON FUTURE SEWER SERVICE AND SITE
SELECTION TO PROTECT FLOODPLAINS.
The sewer system will not install future service taps for NEW construction located on
identified fioodplains.
G. Impact on Wetlands: To minimize future impacts on wetlands the Town will be required
to adopt the following mitigation measure:
TOWN OF FAIRMONT RESTRICTION ON FUTURE WATER SERVICE AND SITE
SELECTION TO PROTECT WETLANDS.
The sewer system will not install future service taps for NEW construction located on
identified wetlands.
The above restrictions will become effective upon the completion of the proposed
construction project.

EXHIBIT I OCT 1 7 1995
1. Primary Beneficiaries
The proposed project includes the annexation of five areas adjacent to the existing Fairmont
Town limits. These areas contain existing residential and commercial users. The provision of
wastewater service will be a benefit to future residential,commercial and industrial users in these
areas. In addition, if the wastewater treatment plant is located near the Lumber River as planned,
a force main carrying untreated wastewater will be required from the existing site of the Fairmont
wastewater treatment plant to the Lumber River plant site. Several miles of property on both
sides of the force main route will have a possibility of access to wastewater treatment.
The school at Orrum is currently under an SOC to resolve its wastewater problems. It is
anticipated that the school will tie on to the proposed system. The communities of Orrum,
Proctorville and Boardman will have access to the new wastewater treatment plant as proposed.
Both Columbus and Bladen Counties have expressed interest in using the proposed wastewater
treatment plant located at the Lumber River for wastewater disposal. The proposed wastewater
treatment plant could serve as a regional facility for the overall benefit of the area.
2. Area Description
a. The overall project area would consist of the presently incorporated and annexed
areas of the Town of Fairmont and the wastewater treatment plant site of approximately five to
10 acres. Two plant sites are presently under consideration. The preferred site is located near the
Lumber River and is currently owned by the North Carolina Department of Transportation. The
secondary site is located in the designated industrial park area outside of Fairmont. In the event
that the river site is chosen,a non-treated wastewater force main will be required from the
existing Fairmont WWTP's site to the plant site near the Lumber River,a distance of
approximately 11 miles. In this event,an additional force main will be required to convey
treated effluent from the proposed plant site approximately one mile to the Lumber River.
Should the secondary industrial park site be chosen,a treated effluent force main will be required
from the wastewater plant approximately 10 miles to the discharge point in the Lumber River.
The terrain of the project area is flat with very little relief. Present land uses of the area range
from residential, commercial and industrial near and in the Town of Fairmont,agricultural,
residential and institutional (Orrum school)along the proposed force main route and recreational
near the Lumber River(The proposed discharge site is near the proposed Lumber River State
Park). In addition to these uses,there are forested areas and wetlands which are located near the
proposed facilities.
b. Effect on Resources in Item#3.
1. Industrial. The proposed wastewater treatment system will provide
improved wastewater service to existing industries. It will also provide additional wastewater
1

treatment capacity so that the area may attract new industries. This area of Robeson County has
been designated an Enterprise Community and an Enpowerment Zone. Development of these
areas are considered a high priority nationally.
2. Commercial. The proposed facility will provide improved wastewater
service to existing commercial establishments in the Town of Fairmont. Annexation of new
areas will stimulate additional commercial growth in the area.
3. Residential. The proposed facilities will provide improved wastewater
service to existing and future residents of the Town of Fairmont. In addition it will provide
wastewater service to existing and future residents of the areas to be annexed and may allow
access to residents living in the Orrum and Boardman areas.
4. Agricultural. The proposed project should not directly impact a
significant amount of agricultural land. The proposed treatment plant will likely be built on land
currently not used for agricultural purposes. The force main from the Town of Fairmont to the
Lumber River area will pass by but should not impact agricultural lands. If the DOT plant site is
chosen,the effluent force main from the plant to the river may cross land currently under
agricultural use but should have little or no permanent affect on this use.
7. Forests. The currently proposed WWTP sites are not forested. The
proposed force mains will run along highway rights-of-way from the Fairmont area to the
Lumber River area. Should the DOT site be chosen,the effluent force main discharging to the
river will traverse a small area of forest adjacent to the river. It is anticipated that these impacts
will be minimal.
8. Recreational. The North Carolina Department of Parks and Recreation
currently proposes to obtain land and build a State Park adjacent to the Lumber River south of
US #74 in the area of the proposed discharge. If the DOT plant site is chosen,the effluent force
main will cross the proposed park area but should have little or no impact on recreational uses of
the facility.
9. Transportation. The wastewater force main from the Fairmont area to the
Lumber River will be laid along existing road rights-of-way. During the construction period,
traffic along these roads may be minimally affected. Growth of the Fairmont area will result in
more automobiles in the area. No significant impacts on transportation of the area are foreseen.
10. Parks. The North Carolina Department of Parks and Recreation proposes
to build the Lumber River State Park adjacent to the Lumber River south of US #74 in the area of
the proposed plant site and discharge. The initial proposed WWTP site was on land sought by
the State of North Carolina for the park. Because of opposition to the project caused by this
conflict,the Town of Fairmont is currently seeking alternate sites for construction for the
WWTP. Although the effluent force main from the proposed plant might traverse future park
property, the impacts should be minimal.
2

12. Schools. Existing schools in the Fairmont area will receive the benefit of
improved wastewater treatment. Addition wastewater capacity will be available for the
expansion or location of new schools in the area. The proposed wastewater force main will go
by the Orrum school which is currently under an SOC for its difficulties with wastewater
disposal. It is anticipated that the school will tie in to the proposed system,thereby eliminating
its wastewater treatment problems.
13. Open Spaces. There are areas along the proposed force main route that
could be considered open spaces. The project should have no impact on any such spaces.
21. Wetlands. Portions of land at and near the Lumber River as well as small
areas near the Town of Fairmont are considered wetlands. Avoidance of the disturbance of
wetlands is a primary concern in locating sites for construction. There should be minimal
disturbance of wetlands by the proposed project. It is inevitable that the force main will cross
some wetland areas. Care will be taken in design and construction to minimize any negative
impacts to these areas(See J.H. Carter and Associates report,Appendix A).
22. Flood Plain. The 100 year flood plain encompasses most areas within
several miles of the Lumber River near the proposed discharge point. While the flood plain is
very large, anticipated flood depths are very shallow. The proposed force main will necessarily
be in the 100 year flood plain at some points. The proposed WWTP sites are not in the 100 year
flood plain. There should be minimal impact to the flood plain by this project.
24. Wild or Scenic River. The Lumber River is designated as a wild and
scenic river. This designation will be taken into account by the North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management in permitting the discharge into the river. Environmental impacts to
the river are being studied to ensure the nature of the river is not changed.
27. Wildlife. Wildlife occurs in all areas of the project including the Town of
Fairmont and its environs: the force main route,the potential plant site and the river into which
the plant will discharge. Biological surveys have been made of all areas including the river.
There should be minimal impacts to wildlife by this project(See J.H. Carter&Associates report,
Appendix A).
3. Air Quality
a. No specific air quality data is available for the Fairmont area. Appendix B
contains air quality data gathered by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management
for the surrounding area.
b. The proposed WWTP facilities should produce only small amounts of air
emissions. These will come from open wastewater treatment tanks. There should be negligible
effects from the discharge. There may be some odor associated with the treatment plant. The
proposed DOT location is well buffered from other inhabited areas and should cause no odor
problems. A well run WWTP treating largely domestic effluent should not produce a great deal
of odor.
3

i
There are no existing air emission problems with benefited users. Any new industries will be
required to meet air quality and permitting standards of the North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management. The area currently enjoys excellent air quality. This project should
not result in a significant degradation of this quality.
c. Topographical and meteorological conditions of the area should not hinder the
disbursal of air emissions.
d. Air emission controls will be implemented where required by the Division of
Environmental Management per applicable permits.
4. Water Quality
a. Appendix C contains a partial analysis of groundwater used as a potable water
source for the Town of Fairmont. The water is of excellent quality. The pH is normally around
7.3. No iron removal is required. Treatment of the water consists of the addition of fluoride and
chlorine for disinfection. The Town has no complaints from customers about water quality.
b. Fairmont obtains its water from three wells located in the area. These wells
currently are pumped at the rates of 600, 500 and 450 gpm. A local well driller has informed the
Town that could they withdraw more from these wells by increasing pump sizes. The area has an
excellent source of groundwater. Additional wells could be added as needed to increase the
water supply. It is anticipated that the wastewater treatment plant will be sized to discharge a
maximum of 2 mgd. Water requirements for the Town of Fairmont will be larger than the
permitted capacity of the WWTP. The groundwater supply is adequate for any foreseeable
needs.
c. The proposed WWTP will discharge up , 2 m I d o treated wastewater into the
Lumber River. The Lumber River at the proposed disch•' : mt is classified as C-Swamp
waters. The North Carolina Division of Environmental Management was contacted earlier this
year to request speculative limits for the discharge. Appendix D contains a letter from DEM to
the Town of Fairmont with speculative discharge limits for the WWTP. The water discharge
from the plant should be of quality equal to or better than the proposed discharge limits. The
wastewater entering the proposed treatment plant will be a mixture of domestic and industrial
wastewater. The characteristics of future industries cannot be speculated upon at this time. New
industries will be screened to prevent the discharge of wastewater which will be harmful to the
treatment process and cause conflict with the NPDES discharge limits.
d. Wastewater entering the proposed WWTP will be subjected to various means of
treatment. The wastewater will be screened and degritted,aerated,clarified,disinfected,
reaerated, and pumped to the discharge point. If chlorine is used for disinfection,dechlorination
will be required to eliminate the toxic effects of chlorine in the effluent. It is anticipated that the
mode of treatment will be extended aeration which is a conservative design that should easily
meet the proposed discharge limits.
4

e. The treatment system will be adequate for the requirements of the project.
f. Surface runoff from any construction related to the project will be managed in
accordance with erosion and sedimentation control measures as well as stormwater regulations.
Surface runoff should not be a problem, however, some temporary runoff might occur during
construction.
5. Solid Waste Management
The Town currently collects solid wastefor residents. Commercial waste is collected by a
contractor. All waste is disposed of in the Robeson County landfill. It is anticipated that the
County will continue to provide disposal for solid waste.
6. Transportation
a. The Fairmont area is served by rail and a network of highways and secondary
roads. Fairmont is located very close to I-95 and US#74.
b. No new transportation patterns are anticipated to arise as a result of the proposed
project.
c. Not applicable.
d. No capacities of the existing transportation system should be exceeded as a result
of the project.
7. Noise
a. There should be only minimal noise impacts from the proposed project. The
WWTP will be located either in an isolated forested area or in an industrial area. The noise from
the WWTP will not be offensive at either site. Construction noise of a temporary nature will
have the greatest impact with this project. Industries which might locate in the area in the future
will have unknown noise impacts.
b. No land uses should be significantly affected by project noise.
8. Historic/Archaeological Properties
a. There are no known areas of historic or archaeological significance related to the
proposed project. Appendix E contains a letter from the North Carolina Department of Cultural
Resources. David Brook, Deputy State Historic Preservation Officer,concurs with this after a
review of the project.
b. Not applicable (See Appendix E).
9. Wildlife and Endangered Species
5

.
a. The project area has been subjected to a survey by J.H. Carter&Associates,
Consulting Biologists. Wildlife resources are addressed in their report as contained in Appendix
A.
b. Endangered and threatened species and critical habitats are addressed in the report
by J.H. Carter& Associates, Consulting Biologists,as contained in Appendix A.
10. Energy
a. The Town of Fairmont energy sources consist of electricity and stored fossil fuel
products. The Town does not have access to natural gas at this time. There is a natural gas
pipeline in the general area.
b. The supply of energy to the Town of Fairmont is not specifically limited. The
proposed facilities and their beneficiaries should cause no problems with energy supplies.
11. Construction
Construction of the project will be performed in accordance with the requirement for erosion and
sedimentation control plans. The relatively flat nature of the area will reduce the possibility of
erosion. Construction noise will be abated by the utilization of properly maintained equipment.
Most construction will take place in isolated areas where noise pollution will not be of concern.
12. Toxic Substances
a. The Town of Fairmont is presently having some difficulty with toxicity of its
current wastewater discharge. Testing is being performed to identify the source of the toxicity.
There are no known toxic hazardous or radioactive substances being utilized by project
beneficiaries. The proposed WWTP may utilize chlorine for disinfection but will be required to
dechlorinate prior to discharge.
Location of the WWTP discharge will allow a great deal of dilution of the wastewater at
discharge and should reduce or eliminate the toxic effects of the wastewater effluent.
b. Any toxic, hazardous or radioactive substances utilized by the WWTP or primary
beneficiaries will be stored in accordance with all environmental regulations.
13. Public Reaction
a. Primary objections to the proposed project have resulted from the original intent
to build a wastewater treatment plant on lands slated to become part of the Lumber River State
Park. Other sites are now being considered for the location of the WWTP. No other major
objections have been raised.
b. There has not been a public hearing held regarding this project at this time.
6

L
c. The proposed project has been the subject of major discussions in the Town
Council for several months. In addition, some newspaper articles have been printed about the
Town's wastewater situation. The project has been discussed in meetings of the Lumber River
Council of Governments and other interested groups. The possible annexation of areas as
proposed in the project has been a frequent subject of discussion in Town Council meetings and
the general area.
•
14. Alternatives to the Proposed Project
a. Alternative Locations. There have been several alternatives considered for the
location of the proposed WWTP. The original intent was to locate the plant at the Lumber River
on land which has been planned for an eventual Lumber River State Park. Objections raised to
this location have prompted the Town to look for alternative sites. The alternatives presently
under consideration are the industrial park area just outside of Town and an area approximately
one mile from the Lumber River which is currently owned by NCDOT. The NCDOT tract is
preferred at this point.
b. The system design will be modified as needed to meet the requirements imposed
by the eventual plant site location. It is currently anticipated that an extended aeration process
will be utilized in the WWTP.
c. In addition to the proposed project,consideration has been given to the•following
alternatives:
1. No action.
2. Land application of wastewater.
3. Expansion of wastewater plant at current discharge location.
After careful consideration,the proposed project best meets the needs of the community and
area.
15. Mitigation Measures
Mitigation of negative environmental impacts will be accomplished by predesign planning to
avoid such impacts, by proper facility design to meet environmental requirements and by
utilization of proper construction methods. An example of this approach is the relocation of the
plant site to avoid environmental controversy surrounding the proposed Lumber River State Park
site. All construction will be subject to erosion and sedimentation control regulations. Design of
pipelines and facilities will be performed to minimize any impact on wetlands, flood plains,
forested areas and agricultural lands.
16. Permits
` Y
a. An authorization to construction facilities will be required by the Division of
Environmental Management. An erosion and sedimentation control permit will be required for
7

construction. A wetlands permit may be required depending on the extent of wetlands
encroachment.
b. Delineation of wetlands is being performed by J.H. Carter&Associates. No other
permits have currently been applied for.
17. Other Federal Actions
The proposed project area is in an Enterprise Community and an Enpowerment Zone as
designated by the Federal Government. While no specific action other than this project are
currently proposed,this project helps to meet the goals of these programs.

Subject Fairmont WWI?Expansion
Preliminary Engineering Report
NC0021059
Robeson County
The Technical` Branch(TSB)has reviewed the preliminary engineering -. ' for
the Fairmont WTP expansion to 1.75 MOD. The following comments are .'1'. -' for
the Town's'further consideration:
Please be aware that in formal application for an NPDES permit,an . t- g
alternatives analysis will have to be submitted. As part of this analysis,More detail
will have to be provided with regard to spray irrigation(land application)of the
wastewater. Loading rates and soil analysis should be Twovided, along with a
detailed cost analysis,as outlined in the Division's Guidance for El:aluation of
Wastewater Alternatives.
In Section VI. the selected alternative is a pumping system and the const*tion of a
neW wastewater treatment plant at the Lumber River approximately one rile south
of U.S. HWY 74. Section V11 discusses the alternate site for the treatment plant at
the Fairmont Industrial Park due to conflicts with the N.C.Department pf Parks
and Recreation's plans for a park at the Lumber River site. According toy the cost
analysis submitted as part of this report, the site at Fairmont appears to be the most
economically feasible. In light of conflicts with Parks and Recreation'plans and
the outcome of the cost analysis the Technical Support Branch encourages pursuit
of the alternative site at the Fairmont Industrial Park for the wastewater ent
plant.
If in further evaluation the Fairmont Industrial Park Site is not found to the most
feaasi�ble alternative,the Town should provide more detailed explanation the
environmental consequences for modifying the existing plant and s nt
discharge to the Lumber River. Also, option to locate the plant on between
Fairmont and the Lumber River(near Orrum)should be further ev and
explained in detail.
Please include this information as part of the final engineering report and prior
application for an NPDES permit.

RE: 96-0066 Fairmont WWTP p E.xansion Robeson County
DATE: August 30, 1995
Divisions within the Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Re urces met
with project officials on June 21, 1995 concerning the referenced proposal. ormation
presented at the meeting identified the construction of the plant at the Lumber River as
the preferred alternative. As part of this review, we find the Town of Fairmo it continues
to recognize this alternative as their preferred. While this is probably a proposal that
could proceed with adequate planning, this department continues to object toe Town of
Fairmont's preferred alternative. As previously discussed with project ofci s, their
li
preferred alternative would be in conflict with the Division of Parks and Recration's
master plan for development of a state park. This issue is obviously of great ibnportance
to this department.
Our
prunary concern atthis point is to continue to coordinate with the To IA of
Fairmont. Our divisions have identified strong concerns over the impacts to the natural
environment in the preferred alternative versus locating the wastewater treatment plant at
the Fairmont Industrial Park site. We ask that issues raised by our reviewers be given
thorough consideration prior to the preparation of the environmental documeni. Should

Clean Water Act of 1977(as amended)and the North Caolina Environmental P6licy Act
(G.S. 113A{1 et seq., as amended; 1 NCAC-25).
The 'own of'Fairmont's wastewater treatment system has had difficulty Meeting
toxicity test requirements since 1993 and is currently operating under a Special Order of
Consent. Discharge to Pittman Mill Branch, a small stream with 7Q10 of only 0.001
CFS, has contributed to toxicity failures, In addition to toxicity shortcomings, undersize
and deteriorated pipes have caused problems with infiltration and inflow, The Tbwn's
consultants have recommended that a new 1.75 MGD wastewater treatment plath and
distribution system with discharge to the Lumber River near Boardman be contacted as
a regional facility. While the facility is to be constructed so that tertiary filtratiocan be
added, tertiary treatment is not proposed at this time. The Lumber River isall sber

of a state park. Consequently,an alternative plant site has been identified at Fairmont's
Industrial Park.
Potential adverse impacts to fish and wildlife!resources include loss of
wetland habitat associated with the Lumber River construction site, loss of wet!riparian
habitat to pipeline construction, and Lumber River wa
wastewater'discharge. To minimize these ' � �qualrty decline due to added
modifications: �we recommend the followim project
1. Locate the wastewater treatment plant at the Fairmont Industrial ark site.
This site should minimize riparian wetland impacts as well as co flirts of
incompatibility with the state park.
2. Locate new pipeline construction,along existing road right-of-ways to
minimize impacts to wetlands. Any
c:onstrtictai necessary stream crossings should be
perpendicular to the stream to minimize the amount alf work
required within the riparian corridor.
3. Provide tertiary treatment for wastewater. The Lumber
Natural and Scenic River and its outstanding redbreast sunfish fl4etery as s a
warrant this higher level of water quality protection.
Thank you for the opportunity to conunent on this_project. If you need to discuss

Dear Mr. Buie:
Thank you for your letter updating us on the plans for the proposed Fairmont Wastewater
Treatment Plant. The new site to the west of Pea Ridge Road, combined with the access road
from SR 2244, is outside the master-planned boundaries of the Lumber River State Park.
Impacts to the park from the new site would be significantly less than the previously proposed
site.
We still have some concerns with regard to odor and the proposed discharge line, but we
believe these impacts can be minimized in the project's design process.
We appreciate the Town's efforts to protect the park from unnecessary Impacts. We look
forward to working with you further during the design phase.
Sincerely,

SUBJECT: own of Fairmont Improvements to WWTP, Robeson County: Re . #96-0066
The Division f Parks and Recreation has reviewed the Preliminary Engineering rt for the
Wastewater. T atment Plant for the Town of Fairmont in Robeson County. The ivision does
not object to the discharge of effluent into the Lumber River. However, the DiNiision strongly
objects to the referred location of the treatment plant adjacent to the Lumber River in the Pea
Ridge area. a oppose building the treatment plant at Pea Ridge for these reasons:
1. The approval of the wastewater treatment plant at this site would be in con t with state
park f4cilities previously planned at Pea Ridge. These facilities are '' tified in the
Lumbejr River. State Park master plan; environmental documentation fir this plan is
complete and has been approved by the public and the State Clearinghou
In 1989, following preparation of a feasibility study by the Department of Environment,
Health and Natural Resources (DEHNR) and preceded by years of tre endous public
support, the Lumber River was designated as a component of the N.C. Na 1 and Scenic
Rivers System by the N.C. General Assembly. At the same time, the 0• Assembly
authorized the establishment of the Lumber River State Park in accordance with the State
Parks ct of 1987. In 1990, the Lumber River State Park Advisory e•mmittee was
appoin by the Secretary of the DEHNR to help guide the planning and • elopment of
the par . The committee raised funds from local citizens and obtained a S41 000 matching
grant oro the Carolina Power and Light Company for the preparation o' a park master
plan. he plan was prepared by the N. C. State University and was approved by Secretary
Howe in July 1994. An Environmental Assessment for the Lumber River State Park
Maste Plan was produced by the Division and received final approval from the State
Cleari ghouse in April 1994.

2. The approval of the Wastewater treatment plant at the Pea Ridge site would have adverse
impacts on a state project that already involves the investment of significant public funds.
Since the park's establishment, the Division has received four grants total ' g over$1,6
million from the Natural Heritage Trust Fund for land acquisition along river; 2,139
acres have been acquired so far, with several additional acquisitions pendin . In addition,
over. $11.O million were allocated for the Lumber River State Park land uisition in the
1993 State Parks Bond referendum. These monies are designated for imp ementation of
Phase I of the park master plan, which includes acquisition of the park's or access area
at Pea Ridge. Public funds are now being spent on Phase I acquisition development
for the Lumber River State Park along the southern section of the river; w are currently
working with the State Property Office to acquire sufficient property ati Pea Ridge to
implement the master plan. This property includes the proposed wastev9ater treatment
plant site.
3. Pea Ridge was designated as the park's major development site on the sou end of the
river laecause it is the only site large enough for a major access area on t part of the
river. Because it is the park's southern headquarters site, Pea Ridge will the focus for
the development of permanent and extensive visitor facilities along this regi of the river.
Consequently, the Division anticipates that it will receive significant visitor use.
The master plan calls for a visitor center with an office and an auditorium, group and
family;picnicking, canoe and drive-in family camping, maintenance headquarters, staff
residences, parking, and river access facilities at Pea Ridge. In anti«. 'on of building
these facilities, we have been working with the Department of Tran r tion on the
planned widening of US 74 where it crosses the Lumber River near Pea ' Age to ensure
that the roadway design includes a safe access to the park at that location
4. The. pjroposed location of the wastewater treatment plant, which will Ie in the park
campground area, would permanently degrade the visitor experience a the park, and
would greatly impair our ability to manage the site efficiently and safely We feel very
strongly that such an operation in the interior of the park would be highl detrimental to
the pa#k and is incompatible with the park's intended use.
There would be long-term problems with noise, odor, aesthetic ce, safety,
liability, and vandalism that cannot be easily mitigated. The plant's p would hinder
our ability to expand and relocate park facilities over the years. In addi on, the Town
would face long-term problems of access through the park for p t operation,
maintenance, construction, repair, and expansion.

The Division strongly objects to the preferred alternative that locates the , r treatment
plant at Pea Ridge. This alternative would result in significant impacts to the , • River State
Park. Becauthe Pea Ridge park facilities are not yet in place, the impacts of the proposed
treatment pla would be later in time, but still reasonably foreseeable (115 :01C.0100).
Therefore, a inding of No Significant Impact would not be appropriate for project as
currently proposed. However, we would not object to placing the wastewater • ••, -' plant at
the Fairmont ' trial site;,we feel that the use of this site would address the • , ms of both
the Town and Division. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this p + • •sal.

PRELIMINARY BIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT
FOR
FAIRMONT WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT,
ROBESON COUNTY,NORTH CAROLINA
INTRODUCTION
The City of Fairmont is in the process of obtaining funding from the Farmer's Home
Administration for a new wastewater treatment plant and associated sewer lines, with an outfall
into the Lumber River. As part of their review for this project, Farmer's Home Administration is
required to conduct an environmental assessment of the proposed project. This assessment was
written to address potential impacts of the water treatment plant and sewer line construction on
species listed as threatened or endangered, or proposed for such listing by the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service(USFWS) pursuant to Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act, as amended.
State listed species were also considered.
PROJECT AREA
The project area is located in the south-central portion of Robeson County, in the
southern Coastal Plain of North Carolina(Figure 1). The topography is relatively flat and the
soils are generally sands, loamy sands, and sandy loams,with the Norfolk, Rains, Lynchburg, and
Goldsboro series being most widespread. The Lumber River floodplain is dominated by the
Johnston series.
Historically the uplands were vegetated with various longleaf pine(Pinus palustris)
dominated communities including Pine Savanna and Mesic Pine Flatwoods. These communities
occurred on coarse to fine sands, sandy loams, and loamy sands. All were characterized by
frequent fire, sparse to open understories, and a diverse herbaceous flora dominated by wiregrass
(Aristida stricta).
Wetland communities included Wet Pine Flatwoods, Pocosins, Coastal Plain Small Stream
Swamps, and Carolina Bays. These communities occurred on wet, acidic sandy and/or organic

soils. Frequent fires on the uplands penetrated the edges of these communities creating a distinct,
diverse, ecotonal zone. Carolina Bays are wetland depressions up to 100 or more acres in size
that are found in the Coastal Plain. Numerous Carolina Bays occurred in the project area and
were originally vegetated with various hydrophytic communities including pocosin, grass-sedge
savanna, and cypress savanna. Most have been drained and converted to agricultural use.
The Lumber River is designated as a North Carolina Natural and Scenic River. e river
and its floodplain contain high quality wildlife habitats as well as unique and relatively undisturbed
vegetative communities such as the Cypress-Gum Swamp community type.
Few native plant communities remain in a relatively natural condition in the project area
with the exception of the Lumber River. Timbering, fire exclusion, and agricultural development
have seriously altered the landscape in most of this portion of the County, and agriculture is now
the dominant land use. Fragmented woodlots with loblolly(Pinus taeda) and longleaf pines exist
throughout the project area, though none are extensive or fire maintained. Most forests in the
area are young loblolly pine plantations, second-growth loblolly pine stands with dense hardwood
understories, or hardwood stands. Fire has been excluded from most forest communities for
many years.
METHODS
Protected species that could potentially occur in the project area are listed in Table 1 and
Table 2. The project site was surveyed between 25 July and 6 October 1995 by biologists familiar
with the species of concern and their habitats. Foot surveys were conducted in potential habitats
of protected plant species within 500 feet of the proposed sewer line right-of-way(ROW) and on
and around the proposed treatment plant site. Foot transects were approximately 50-100 feet
apart depending upon the type and quality of habitat. High quality habitat was surveyed at or near
100% coverage. Habitats were also assessed up to one-half mile on either side of the proposed
sewer line ROW and the proposed wastewater treatment plant site.
Surveys for RCW clusters and cavity trees were conducted within one-half mile of the
proposed ROW and for one-half mile around the proposed treatment plant site. Potential RCW
habitat separated by more than 330 feet of non-habitat from project sites was not surveyed unless

RCW clusters were found in the immediate area. RCW surveys followed methods described in
Guidelines for Preparation of Biological Assessments and Evaluations for the Red-Cockaded
Woodpecker by Gary Henry, USFWS, 1989.
Surveys for freshwater fish and mussels were conducted upstream and downstream of the
proposed outfall site on the Lumber River in order to develop baseline data.
PRELIMINARY RESULTS
Most of the landscape in the project area has been altered by agriculture, forestry, or
residential development, and few examples of natural communities remain. Agriculture is the
dominant land use, with cotton, soybeans, and corn fields most common. Most forests which
occur in the project area are small woodlots imbedded in the agricultural landscape. These
woodlots are generally dominated by loblolly pine with dense hardwood understories of
sweetgum(Liquidgmbar styraciflua) and red maple(Acer rubrum), though a few longleaf pines
still exist. Other forested areas are loblolly pine plantations less than 30 years of age or areas that
have been recently cut-over and are now regenerating loblolly pine and hardwoods.. Most of the
area has been logged within the past 50 years, with few trees greater than 50 to 75 years old,
other than a few trees located in yards and along roadsides.
Most of the project area consists of highly disturbed habitats, and all of the roadsides had
been recently mowed. Most of the plant species listed in Table 2 occur in frequently burned Pine
Savanna or Wet Pine Flatwoods habitats. These species include rough-leaf loosestrife
(Lysimachia asperulifolia), Venus' flytrap(Dionaea muscipula), Carolina grass-of-parnassus
(Parnassia caroliniana), spring-flowering goldenrod (Solidago verna), wireleaf dropseed
(Sporobolus teretifolius), and Carolina asphodel (Tofieldia glabra). This type of habitat does not
exist within the project area. The woodlots in the project area were being invaded by hardwoods
and dense thickets of shrubs and vines.
Cooley's meadowrue(Thalictrum cooleyi) also occurs in Pine Savannas, but can be found
along roadsides and in fields. Most of the fields in the area are in crops, recently plowed, or are
used as pasture. No habitat for Cooley's meadowrue was found in the project area.

Several species in Table 1 occur along rivers and in swamps. These include Harper's
fimbry(Fimbristylis perpusilla), Carolina bogmint(Macbridea caroliniana), and swamp forest
beaksedge (Rhynchospora decurrens). These species are known to occur along the Lumber
River, as is Sarvis holly(Ilex amelanchier), but none have been found so far in our surveys.
Michaux's sumac(Rhus michauxii), a federally endangered plant, occurs in sandy woods
and along disturbed roadsides. Appropriate habitats were searched for this species, but none were
seen.
Four species of mussels were collected in the Lumber River in the project area. These
include the Carolina slabshell (Elliptio congarea), the northern lance (Elliptio fisheriana), the
variable spike(Elliptio icterina), and the Southern pondhorn (Uniomerus obesus). None of these
species are protected.
Five "special concern" fish species are listed for the Lumber River(Table 1). These
species were not found during the fish sampling, however, the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission has recently identified a new species, the brook silverside(Labidesthes sicculus) for
the State from the project area.
The Carolina gopher frog(Rana capito capito)breeds in temporary fish-free pools and
forages in sandy woods, especially Pine-Scrub Oak Sandhills. Likewise the mimic glass lizard
(Ophisaurus mimicus) occurs in Pine-Scrub Oak Sandhills and Pine Savannas. This type of
habitat no longer exists in this area. The American alligator(Alligator mississippiensii) occurs in
the Lumber River and associated swamps, but is unlikely to be directly affected by construction
activities and future development.
Very few areas are suitable for red-cockaded woodpecker(Picoides borealis) cavities or
clusters due to past logging activities, few old pine trees, and dense hardwood midstories.
Bachman's sparrows(Aimophila aestivalis)and Henslow's sparrows (Ammodramus henslowii)
occur in grassy pinewoods, but no such habitat occurs within the project area. The bald eagle
(Haliaeetus leucocephalus)and the peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) may occasionally pass
through the project area, but there appears to be little likelihood of impacts from this project.
Rafinesque's big-eared bat (Corynorhinus rafinesquii) roosts in old buildings, caves,
mines, and large hollow trees, usually near water. There are no caves or mines in the area and no

old buildings will be destroyed in the initial construction activities. There are scattered large dead
trees in the Lumber River floodplain area. Disturbing these trees should be avoided if possible.
Initial construction activities should have minimal impact upon forest resources. The force
main will be located in an existing road ROW and the wastewater treatment plant site will be built
in a soybean field. Some trees will need to be removed along the shore of the Lumber River in
order to construct the outfall. These trees may include cypress(Taxodium distichum), river birch
(Betula nigra), carolina ash(Fraxinus caroliniana), and laurel oak(Quercus laurifolia), varying
in dbh from 8-18 inches.
Impacts to jurisdictional wetlands will be restricted to the pipeline ROW, mostly at small
stream crossings along roads, and the outfall through the Lumber River Swamp.
PRELIMINARY CONCLUSION
This project appears to have no significant impacts on natural resources of concern or
protected species at this stage of design.

Subject: Town of Fairmont Waste Water Treatment Plant
N C 0021059 Subbasin: 03-07-54
Robeson County
Dear Ms.Lockley:
I am writing in response to your letter requesting speculative limits for a proposed relocation and
expansion of the Town of Fairmont's wastewater treatment plant. The wastewater discharge from
this facility currently flows into the Pitman Mill Branch which is located in the Ashpole Swamp
watershed. The proposed relocation is to the Lumber River mainstem at Highway 74 near the
Boardman gage.
As part of the preparation for the Lumber River Management Plan, the USGS developed a low
flow profile for the Lumber River which includes flow statistics at the Boardman gage. The
following represents those determinations:
Drainage Area 1,228 miles2
summer 7010: 122 cfs
winter 7010: 250 cfs
0 average: 1,300 cfs
3002: 304 cfs
The recommendations made in this letter reflect management strategies for the Lumber River
Basin. The Lumber River Basinwide Water Quality Management Plan describes the swamp-like
conditions which exist throughout most of the watershed. A good example is the Lumber River
mainstem downstream from Lumberton where DO concentrations approach 3 mg/I. This is
considerably lower than the rest of the river's mainstem and is well below the state standard of 5
mg/l. It is difficult to determine to what extent these low DO concentrations are natural or should
be attnbuted to point source discharges of oxygen-demanding wastes located just upstream. At
this time, DEM, (Division of Environmental Management) does not have an adequate tool to
evaluate these swamp systems. To address the uncertainty surrounding the water quality in the
Lumber River and the lack of a modeling tool, a permitting strategy was developed. Therefore,
recommendations for all new dischargers to the Lumber River watershed will receive advanced
secondary limits unless facilities are relocated to an area where more stringent limits are already in
place.

The tentative limits for the Fairmont WWTP expansion from from 0.500 mgd to 2.0 mgd at Highway
74 near the Boardman gage on the Lumber River are as follows:
Flow (mgd):
BOD5 (mg/I): 2.0
NH3-N (m94): 15.0 4.0
Dissolved Oxygen(mg/I): 5.0
Total Suspended Solids (mg/I): 30
Fecal Coliform (#1100m1): 200
pHS 8-9
Total Phosphorus (mg/I): monitor
Total Nitrogen (mg/I): monitor
Total Residual Chlorine (µg/I): 28
Quarterly Chronic'(Ceriodaphnia)Toxicity Test at % ;
February,May,August,and November
Please be advised that response to this request does not guarantee that the Division will issue an
NPDES permit to discharge treated wastewater into these receiving waters. It should be noted
that a new facility involving an expenditure of public funds or use of public(state)lands and having
a design capacity of 0.5 MGD or greater (or a facility proposing an expansion of 0.5 MGD or
greater),or exceeding one-third of the 7010 of the receiving stream will require the preparation of
an environmental assessment(EA) applicant.)by the a I"cant. DEM will not accept a permit application for a
project requiring an EA until the document has been approved by the Department of
Environment, Health and Natural Resources and a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) has
been sent to the state Clearinghouse for review and comment.
The EA should contain a clear justification for the proposed facility and an analysis of potential
alternatives which should include a thorough evaluation of non-discharge alternatives. In
addition,an EA should show how water reuse, conservation and inflow/infiltration reductions have
been considered. Nondischarge alternatives,such as spray irrigation, water conservation, inflow
and infiltration reduction or connection to a regional treatment and disposal system, are
considered to be environmentally preferable to a surface water discharge. In accordance with the
North Carolina General Statutes,the practicable waste treatment and disposal alternative with the
least adverse impact on the environment is required to be implemented. If the EA demonstrates
that the project may result in a significant adverse affect on the quality of the environment, an
Environmental Impact Statement would be required. Monica Swihart of the Water Quality
Planning Branch can provide further information regarding the requirements of the N.C.
Environmental Policy Act.
Please note that Inflow and Infiltration is still a concern for the existing facility. Contact with our -
Regional Office indicates that ongoing efforts to remedy these problems are taking place.
Toxic specific limits have not been reviewed in this speculative analysis. The Technical Support
Branch would recommend coordination between your staff and our Pretreatment Staff to
determine possible toxicants involved in this proposed discharge. Our current information
indicates that no Significant Industrial Users, (SIU's)are currently tied into your plant. A complete
evaluation of limits and monitoring requirements for metals and other toxicants will need to be
addressed at the time of a formal NPDES application.
Under current Division of Environmental Management (DEM) procedure, dechlorination and
chlorine limits are recommended for all new or expanding dischargers proposing the use of
chlorine for disinfection. An acceptable level of residual chlorine in the proposed discharge is
28µg/I for protection against acute toxicity. The process of chlorination/dechlorination or ultra
violet radiation may allow the facility to comply with the total residual chlorine limit.
