D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Dredging disturbance area has been established to minimize the area to be affected. Limits of disturbance on land have also been established on the
site plan to minimize Impacts. No in -river work will be allowed between February 15 and June 30 to avoid impacts to fish spawning.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Proper sediment and erosion control devices will be used to minimize sediment from land -side operations from reaching the river. Sediment removed
from the river will be disposed in an upland location. No clearing of vegetation will be allowed on the river bank or in the Neuse River Riparian Buffer.
Disturbance within the riparian buffer will be limited to 40 feet in width, and the disturbance area will be limited to a portion of bank that is already
stabilized with rip rap.

Re: Neuse Regional Water and Sewer Authority (Lenoir County) Archaeological Survey Draft Report,
CH01-0724.
Dear Ms. Boone:
Thank you for your letter of November 1, 2004, transmitting the archaeological survey report by New South
Associates, Inc., for the above project.
For purposes of compliance with Section 106 of the National "Historic Preservation Act, we concur that the
`ollowing properties are determined not eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places:
31LR355&355**, 31LR356**, 31LR357**, 31LR358&358**, 31LR359&359**, 31LR360&360**,
31LR361&361 **, 31LR362, and 31LR363**. These properties do not retain the level of integrity nor do they
possess the potential to yield significant new information pertaining to the prehistory of North Carolina.
When submitting future archaeological reports, please do not make site forms an appendix or part of die
report (see our survey report guidelines at www.arch.dcr.statc.nc.us/crmg�de.htm).
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR
Part 800.
Thank you for your cooperation and considerations. If you have any questions concerning the above
comment, please contact Renee Gledhill -Earley, environmental review coordinator, at 919.733.4763. In all
future communication conceming this project, please cite the above referenced tracking number.

Dear Ms. Boone:
Thank you for your September 28, 2004 letter regarding the proposed Neuse Regional Water and
Sewer Authority's (NRWASA) proposed new raw water intake to be located on the Neuse River
13 miles upstream from Kinston in Lenoir County, North Carolina. The proposed water
treatment plant and 93 miles of new water transmission lines will be located in Lenoir and Pitt
counties. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) provides the following comments
pursuant to, and in accordance with, provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) (Act).
According to the Environmental Assessment (EA) completed for this project on June 24, 2003,
protected species surveys were conducted during 2000 and 2001 at the proposed construction site
in Lenoir County. The results of the surveys conducted indicate that no federally protected
species are likely to be impacted by project construction. Subsequent surveys along water
transmission corridors (added to the project in 2002) .were conducted in May 2003 and no
federally protected species were discovered. In addition, the Service has reviewed the
NRWASA's Draft Statement of Intent to Facilitate Water Resource Protection and
Environmental Planning and is encouraged by NRWASA's position on environmental protection
within the service area. For those portions of the project that will cross streams and wetlands in
Fitt County, the Scrntice understands that NRWASA has committed to either cross those areas by
directional bore or conduct surveys for the Tar spinymussel (Elliptio steinstansana) and will
notify us if specimens are found. Please note that surveys for federally protected mussel surveys
should be conducted by a qualified biologist with the appropriate state and federal permits to
identify and handle endangered species. Given the results of previous protected species surveys
and NRWASA's commitment to address our Tar spinymussel concerns with surveys or by using
the directional bore method, the Service concurs that this project is not likely to adversely affect
all federally protected species.
We remind you that obligations under section 7 consultation must be reconsidered if: (I) new
information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect listed species or critical
habitat in a manner not previously considered; (2) this action is subsequently modified in a
manner that was not considered in this review; or, (3) a new species is listed or critical habitat

determined that maybe affected by the identified action.
Thank you for updating our office on the status of this project. If you have any questions or
comments regarding our response, please contact Dale Suiter at [phone], extension 18, or
via email at [e-mail].

Section 404/10 and 401 (including buffer authorization) permits were obtained for construction
of raw water intake, pump station, and treatment plant. Other permits have been issued for site in
2012 for dredging work (SAW -2012-01977) issued Dec. 10, 2012 and (DWR #05-0453) ver.2
issued Dec. 31, 2012. That will just expedite the reviewers being able to refer back to their files.
