Dear Ms. Higgins,
This is in response to your September 10, 2015 letter requesting additional information on
our Section 401 submittals for the emergency protection of a municipal wastewater lagoon in
Hookerton, North Carolina. As requested, enclosed are five (5) revised copies of the Pre -
Construction Notification (PCN) Form, four (4) copies of the Agent Authorization Form and a
check in the amount of $330 (check #1432). The enclosed check supplements the check for
$240 (check #1428) that was submitted with our original letter and PCN dated September 4,
2015. The two checks total $570 which should satisfy the requirements of 143- 215.3D (e), the
processing fee for a major water quality certification. The project information included in our
previous submittal is still applicable and is included herein for ease of reference:
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), on behalf of the Town of Hookerton, NC
requests NC Division of Water Resources (DWR) concurrence with applicability of General
Certification (GC) #3885 for the emergency protection of a municipal wastewater lagoon
(Lagoon #1) located adjacent to Contentnea Creek in the Town of Hookerton, North Carolina.
This proposed project would be constructed under the authority of Section 14 of the Flood
Control Act of 1946, as amended. The Section 14 program exists to protect public facilities
which provide essential public services and are experiencing imminent threat of damage or
failure due to natural erosion processes on stream banks and shorelines.
The proposed project includes placement of a layer of stone (riprap) over a layer of bedding
stone along approximately 550 linear feet of streambank and extending for a distance of
approximately 40 -50 feet from the top of the existing streambank in the oxbow bend of
Contentnea Creek adjacent to Lagoon #1 of the Hookerton wastewater treatment plant. The
streambank would be cleared and graded to a 1.5H:1V to 2H:1 V slope (depending on segment)
for placement of the streambank slope protection measures. Below the ordinary high water line,
backfill material consisting of NC Department of Transportation (DOT) #57 stone would be
placed over a geotextile layer, graded, and compacted as required to provide a smooth sloped
surface for the placement of additional stone. Above the ordinary high water line, backfill
material consisting of satisfactory fill (earth) material would be placed on the existing cleared
streambank, graded, and compacted as required to provide a smooth sloped surface for
placement of the stone slope protection. The streambank slope protection measures would
consist of a 12 -inch layer of bedding stone (DOT #57 stone) and a 27 -inch thick layer of DOT
Class II riprap placed over a layer of geotextile and graded fill slope. Toe protection will be

-2-
placed along the toe of the stream bottom. The stone toe protection will be placed to a distance
of approximately eleven (11) feet to eighteen (18) feet from the toe and to a height of
approximately 3 feet above the stream bottom. Materials staging would take place in previously
disturbed areas. Vegetative clearing not to exceed one acre may be required to accommodate
necessary equipment and to allow for proper construction of protection measures.
The proposed project would provide protection for Lagoon #1 of the Hookerton wastewater
treatment plant and prevent the discharge of between 2.5 and 3.6 million gallons of raw sewage
directly into Contentnea Creek, should dike failure occur. Stop -gap measures (completed by the
State of North Carolina), which include streambank riprap placement across —50 linear feet of
most severe erosion and are currently in place in anticipation of more robust, Corps- constructed
project to follow.
An in -water construction moratorium spanning February 15 -June 30 has been established to
ensure uninterrupted use of water bodies known to be seasonally inhabited by anadromous
fishes. Contentnea Creek, which includes the proposed project area, is subject to this
moratorium. Work would be conducted in accordance with this environmental window, to the
extent practicable. The Corps has been in communication with the US Fish and Wildlife Service,
National Marine Fisheries Service, and NC Wildlife Resources Commission regarding use of
Contentnea Creek by anadromous fishes, and the proposed in -water construction activity. Should
resources be available to begin in -water construction prior to June 30, 2016, the Corps will
coordinate with the above - mentioned resource agencies regarding anadromous fish activity in the
project area and adjust construction schedules accordingly. The proposed action will not impact
submerged aquatic vegetation or other essential fish habitat and will not incorporate
contaminated sediments. With the exception of the Northern Long -eared bat, which will not be
affected by the proposed action, the project may affect but is not likely to adversely affect federal
or State listed threatened or endangered species, or other species of concern including the Red -
cockaded woodpecker, American eel, Carolina madtom, and Pinewoods shiner.
The proposed project's length of 550 linear feet slightly exceeds the 500 -foot length limit
described within conditions of Corps' Regulatory Nationwide Permit 13 (NWP 13); however,
because this proposed project involves stabilization of a highly eroded streambank, and is of an
emergency nature, it is of the Corps' opinion that the proposed proj'ect complies with GC #3885.
It should be noted that since the Corps does not permit itself, a NWP 13 will not be issued for
this action; however construction will be done in accordance with the conditions of NWP 13.
The Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed action may be found at:

-3-
The 30 -day public review period has been completed for the EA and five (5) copies of comments
received from the NC State Environmental Clearinghouse are enclosed. No significant
comments were received during public review; therefore the Corps has determined that a Finding
of No Significant Impact ( FONSI) is appropriate for this project. The FONSI is currently being
written and will be provided to your office upon completion.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Should you have any questions or require
additional information, please contact Mr. Justin Bashaw of my staff by at telephone 910 -251-

SUBJECT: Environmental Assessment for Hdokerton, NC Section 14 Streambank and

North Carolina
OLIA No. 16 -0035
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) reviewed the
environmental assessment (EA) with regard to impacts of the project on fish and wildlife
resources. Our comments are provided in accordance with the North Carolina Environmental
Policy Act (G.S. 113A -1 et sec{., as amended; l NCAC -25), provisions of the Fish and Wildlife
Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.), Coastal Area Management
Act(G.S. 113A -100 through 1 I3A -128), as amended and Sections 404 and 404 of the Clean
Water Act (as amended).
The US Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE) has submitted a plan to stabilize the shoreline
adjacent to the Town of Hookerton's Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). This facility has a
series of wastewater lagoons, one of which is in danger of breaching into Contentnea Creek. A
temporary measure was installed May 2015 to provide additional time until a more long term
measure could be implemented, The preferred alternative presented by the USACE and
supported by Hookerton is to harden approximately 550' of shoreline with geotextile and riprap
from the bank down to the bottom contour. To minimize elevated turbidity levels and prevent
debris from entering the construction area, the work will be conducted behind a turbidity curtain,
closing approximately one half of creek width in this area during construction. Contentnea Creek

is designated an anadromous fish spawning area (AFSA) by the NC Wildlife Resources
Commission.
The NCWRC has reviewed the proposed plan and does not object to the project, However, we do
recommend the project adhere to the February IS — June 30 anadrornous fish moratorium as
stated in the EA to minimize elevated turbidity and noise levels during construction. It is
understood that this may require additional planning and scheduling considerations, but believe
that it is possible to follow this guidance. We appreciate the cooperation demonstrated by the
USACE, US Nish and Wildlife Service, and National Marine Fisheries Service to establish a
working relationship to insure the project can be conducted and resources protected to the
greatest extent practicable, We request continued cooperation and communication prior to and
during construction so project progress can be monitored and assistance provided as needed.

SUBJECT: Hookerton, NC Section 14 Emergency Streambank and Shoreline Erosion Protection
Project, Greene County, North Carolina
REFERENCE: Project No. 16 -0035
Thank you for the opportunity io provide information from the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program
(NCNHP) database for the proposed project referenced above. The NCNHP database shows an element
occurrence record for Noturus furiosus (Carolina Madtom) located within Contentnea Creek and within
the proposed project area.
Attached are tables showing records from the'NCNHP database for element occurrences (rare species
and natural communities), natural areas, and conservation/managed areas that have been documented
within the project area and within a one -mile radius of the project area. Also attached is a map that
shows natural heritage resources documented within a one -mile radius of the project area. The
locations of natural areas and conservation /managed areas may be viewed by accessing the Natural
Heritage Data Explorer (NHDE) online map viewer, or by downloading and using GIs data; both options
are available from the NCNHP Data Services webpage (see www.ncnho.ore).
Please note that occurrences of rare species documented within one mile of the proposed project area
increase the likelihood that these species may be present within the project area if suitable habitat
exists. The use of Natural Heritage Program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys if
needed, particularly if the project area contains suitable habitat for rare species. If rare species are
found during field surveys, the NCNHP would appreciate receiving this information so that we may
update our database.
Please feel free to contact meat Allison.Weaklev @ncdenr.Pov or 915- 707 -8620 if you have questions or
if I can be of further assistance.

NC Section 14 Streambank and Shoreline Erosion Protection Project, Greene County
As requested by the North Carolina State Clearinghouse, the North Carolina Department of
Public Safety Division of Emergency Management Risk Management reviewed the proposed
project for the streambank stabilization along Contentnea Creek at the Hookerton Wastewater
Treatment Facility and offers the following comments:
1) Executive Order 11988 requires an eight -step review process that agencies should carry
out as part of their decision - making on projects that have potential impacts to or within
the floodplain. Any work within the SFHA of studied streams, based on the current
Flood Insurance Rate Map, should follow these guidelines in order to avoid to the extent
possible the Iong and short term adverse impacts associated with the occupancy and
modification of floodplains. The eight steps are summarized below.
a. Determine if a proposed action is in the base floodplain (that area which has a
one percent or greater chance of flooding in any given year).
b. Conduct early public review, including public notice.
Identify and evaluate practicable alternatives to locating in the base
floodplain, including alternative sites outside of the floodplain.
d. Identify impacts of the proposed action.
e. If impacts cannot be avoided, develop measures to minimize the impacts and
restore and preserve the floodplain, as appropriate.
f. Reevaluate alternatives.
g. Present the findings and a public explanation.
h. Implement the action.

2) The project site is located in Greene County. Greene County participates in the National
Flood Insurance Program and enforces a Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance that
requires a Floodplain Development Permit be issued for all development located in the
Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) within its jurisdiction. The site outlined in the
application encroaches on the SFHA of Contentnea Creek. Please see Flood Insurance
Rate Map Panels 4600 and 4620. Any grading, fill or placement of equipment or
materials in the SFHA will require a floodplain development permit issued by Greene
County.
3) The project will encroach on the floodway of Contentnea Creek. A hydraulic analysis
shall be performed to determine the impact on flood levels during the base flood
discharge due to the proposed construction. An increase in flood levels will require
approval of a Conditional Letter of Map Revision prior to construction. No structures
shall be impacted by the increase in flood levels. If there are no increases'in flood levels,
