Re: Pre -Construction Notification, Terrible Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant, Town of Fuquay-
Varina, Fuquay-Varina, Wake County, North Carolina
To Whom It May Concern:
Please find attached the Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) Application for the above referenced
project. The Town of Fuquay-Varina is proposing to expand the capacity of the Terrible Creek
Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) from 1.0 million gallons per day (mgd) to 3.0 mgd. The proposed
capacity increase will allow the Town to meet the increasing wastewater service demand within the
Terrible Creek WWTP service area. The existing WWTP will be decommissioned, and a new 3.0-mgd
WWTP will be constructed within the existing parcel.
In order to accommodate the proposed construction and new infrastructure, encroachment into twone
jurisdictional wetlands are necessary. Permanent impacts to the wetland are proposed to affect
approximately 0. 17 acre of the wetlands. One unnamed tributary to Terrible Creek will be crossed by the
entrance road improvements. The crossing will utilize the existing culverted crossing location, thereby
avoiding impacts to the stream. The riparian buffer adjacent to the unnamed tributary to Terrible Creek is
currently traversed by the WWTP entrance road. The road is proposed to be improved as part of the
WWTP expansion, resulting in exempt impacts that do not require mitigation. The impacts consist of
4,108 square feet in Zone 1 and 4,472 square feet in Zone 2.
If you would like to schedule a site visit, have any questions, or require additional information, please
contact me at 919.863.9256. Thank you for your assistance.

Additional Information
Terrible Creek WWTP 3.0 MGD Expansion
B.3d. In order to meet the increasing wastewater service demand within the Terrible Creek WWTP
service area, the Town of Fuquay-Varina is expanding the capacity of the Terrible Creek WWTP from 1.0
MGD to 3.0 MGD. The expansion consists of the decommissioning of the existing 1.0 MGD Terrible
Creek WWTP and constructing a new 3.0 MGD Terrible Creek WWTP on the same parcel. The newly
constructed plant will be able to more reliably and economically meet NPDES permit limits in addition to
having adequate capacity to meet service area demand. An increase to NPDES permitted discharge
capacity is not required as part of this project as the current permit accounts for discharges up to 6.0
MGD.
B.3e. The proposed project will be constructed on the same parcel as the existing Terrible Creek
WWTP. The new facilities to be constructed as part of the proposed project are a new influent pump
station, preliminary treatment facility, two biological nutrient removal tanks, two secondary clarifiers,
return activated sludge pump station, two tertiary disk filters, UV disinfection facility, solids handling
facility, and maintenance and administration buildings. The existing discharge pipe and outfall into
Terrible Creek are hydraulically capable of handling the 3.0 MGD discharge flow and will not need to be
expanded or upgraded. Equipment anticipated to be used during the proposed upgrades to the WRF
include backhoes, front-end loaders, bulldozers, dump trucks, and cranes.
Ma. Avoidance of all impacts is possible only with a no -build alternative. The no -build alternative does
not meet the need of the project. As many components of the project as is feasible have been sited
away from jurisdictional areas.
The jurisdictional wetland impacted by the proposed project is located within a wooded area that
extends from the southern fence line to the location of Secondary Clarifier 1 near the center of the
Terrible Creek WWTP. Secondary Clarifier 1, a small portion of the return activated sludge/waste
activated sludge (RAS/WAS) pump station, and a necessary access road impact the northern portion of
this wetland. Additionally, the portion of the wetland between the access road and the fence line
requires a conversion from forested to herbaceous wetland type in order to maintain safety sightlines
and security at the plant site.
The locations of the secondary clarifiers were dictated primarily by plant hydraulics/gravity flow from
system to system throughout the treatment process. The existing Terrible Creek WWTP must remain in
operation during the construction of the new plant in order to continue to provide wastewater
treatment service for Town of Fuquay-Varina. The newly constructed plant will use the same plant
influent and effluent locations in order to better facilitate the transition of operation between the two
plants, which dictates the hydraulics of the new plant. Additionally, by maintaining the existing final
effluent piping and outfall structure impacts to Terrible Creek and adjoining stream buffer area are
limited.
The conversion of a small portion of the wetland from a forested to an herbaceous type is required in
order to ensure the safety of plant operations staff and security within the plant fence line. The
potential of trees falling within the plant fence line poses a threat to the safety of plant personnel in
addition to a danger of damaging treatment plant equipment, which could lead to a disruption of
treatment or wastewater spill. Additionally, a clear line of site is needed within the fence line of the
plant in order for plant operations staff to easily assess safety and security concerns.
D.1b. Impacts to jurisdictional areas during construction will be limited to the extent feasible by
performing as much work as is possible from upland areas. In areas of impact, silt fencing will be placed
above the upland boundary of the jurisdictional areas and all construction activity will be performed
upgradient of the silt fencing. All disturbed areas will be seeded with a native seed mix within 90 days of
completion of the project.

Wetlands
URFAN-TDHJB-HQ7CB-AIABS-FDS7RA
Impacts to NWI wetlands and other aquatic habitats from your project may be subject to
regulation under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, or other State/Federal Statutes.
Project proponents should discuss the relationship of these requirements to their project
with the Regulatory Program of the appropriate U.S. Armv COrDS of Engineers District.
DATA LIMITATIONS
The Service's objective of mapping wetlands and deepwater habitats is to produce reconnaissance level information
on the location, type and size of these resources The maps are prepared from the analysis of high altitude imagery
Wetlands are identified based on vegetation, visible hydrology and geography A margin of error is inherent in the use
of imagery, thus, detailed on -the -ground inspection of any particular site may result in revision of the wetland
boundaries or classification established through image analysis
The accuracy of image interpretation depends on the quality of the imagery, the experience of the image analysts,
the amount and quality of the collateral data and the amount of ground truth verification work conducted Metadata
should be consulted to determine the date of the source imagery used and any mapping problems
Wetlands or other mapped features may have changed since the date of the imagery or field work There may be
occasional differences in polygon boundaries or classifications between the information depicted on the map and the
actual conditions on site
DATA EXCLUSIONS
Certain wetland habitats are excluded from the National mapping program because of the limitations of aerial
imagery as the primary data source used to detect wetlands These habitats include seagrasses or submerged
aquatic vegetation that are found in the intertidal and subtidal zones of estuaries and nearshore coastal waters
Some deepwater reef communities (coral or tuberfiad worm reefs) have also been excluded from the inventory
These habitats, because of their depth, go undetected by aerial imagery
DATA PRECAUTIONS
Federal, state, and local regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over wetlands may define and describe wetlands in a
different manner than that used in this inventory There is no attempt, in either the design or products of this
inventory, to define the limits of proprietary jurisdiction of any Federal, state, or local government or to establish the
geographical scope of the regulatory programs of government agencies Persons intending to engage in activities
involving modifications within or adjacent to wetland areas should seek the advice of appropriate federal, state, or
local agencies concerning specified agency regulatory programs and proprietary jurisdictions that may affect such
activities
Wetland data is unavailable at this time.
