MERCER, FIELD REPRESENTATIVE DIVISION OF COASTAL MANAGEMENT RE: CITY OF JACKSONVILLE: NORTHWEST SEWER FACILITY SUBJECT: APPLICATION MODIFICATION FORCE MAIN/MILL CREEK DATE: AUGUST 1, 1988 The City of Jacksonville has submitted a request to modify their current application now in process. Their request includes adding another 8,100 linear feet of force main sewer pipe to the gravity intercepter project crossing Little and Royal Creek as discussed in the DCM Field Report dated March 15, 1988. The new pipeline will extend from Brookville sub-station across an unnamed canal off the New River, as well as, Socoe Creek and Mill Creek. The remaining pipeline will be located on the highground and connect to the Sherwood pump station near Highway 17, the Marine Boulevard. The Socoe Creek crossing will be located within the Maple Street right-of-way and in an area of the creek that-is not navigable. The surface waters of the unnamed canal are navigable, and therefore, represent a Public Trust Area of Environmental Concern. Little to no impact on wooded wetlands are anticipated at this site where the canal was excavated for drainage purposes several years ago. The aerial pipeline will be supported by wooden piling every 20' as it crosses the canal. The Mill Creek crossing, located at the east end of Maple Street, will measure approximately 225' from bank to bank. Here again, little to now wetlands disturbance will be expected since the pipeline will be supported on wooden pilings as it makes an aerial crossing of Mill Creek. Local navigation of these water- ways should be unaffected by the proposed creek crossings since the bottom elevation of the force main will be at least 8' to 10' above the NWL. The review agencies are asked to combine the applicant's latest request with their original application proposal so that a unified review can be given and a comprehensive permit considered.

CANA X (ONLY) 6-15-88 ESTUARINE SHORELINE PUBLIC TRUST WATERS X OTHER COMMERCIAL FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT - CITY OF JACKSONVILLE SEWER FACILITY PAGE #2 9. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: The City of Jacksonville, in Onslow County, began about four years ago upgrading and expanding. their sewer service throughout the northwestern part of the City, west of U.S. Highway 17, and south of Gum Branch Road. The last State and Federal permit action took place about three years ago with several pipeline crossings of Mill Creek beginning at Henderson Drive. The installation of that project was successful and in compliance with permit conditions. Today, the City proposes to install an additional 11,250 linear-feet of -.intercept pipeline. The vic.i-nity map..-.- - submitted with the application packet shows clearly the relationship for the proposed pipeline to the three stream crossings on Royal and Little Creeks. These two creeks are tributaries of the New River which has been designated Inland Waters of the State above the Highway 17 Bridge. Although each of the three stream crossings are located far up these tributaries, the "SC" surface waters are considered navigable, and therefore, the Public Trust Area of Environmental Concern keys the requirement for a Coastal Area Management Act Permit. There are no coastal wetlands, however, involved with the project proposal. As with the Mill Creek project in 1985, the current proposal involves pipeline activities in wooded swamp wetlands characterized as 404 type vegetation. Of primary concern is the upper drainage pattern of Royal Creek between Stream Crossing #1 and Gum Branch Road. A 30' to 60' wide utility easement and construction corridor will be cleared along the proposed project alignment. As the project plans indicate, the major crossing of Royal Creek will involve the installation of a 24" pipe in the-creek bed approximately 50' long x 2' wide x 2' deep. The spoil materials, some 8 cu. yds. of sandy Oud will be temporarily stockpiled on the receiving bank and later used as backfill to the pipeline. Before the pipeline reaches the Brookview Pump Station (noted on the vicinity map) it will make two crossings of Little Creek. Each of these crossings will measure approximately 25' long x 3' wide. At this point in the project, the diameter of the pipeline will increase from 24" to 27" and from 27" to 30". In order to maintain the gravity flow design of the intercept system, this section of pipeline must be excavated some 8' into the creek bed. The spoil material from these two stream crossings '(some 44 cu. yds.) will be temporarily placed on the adjacent highground property and a small area of wooded swamp cleared for the construction project. The spoil material will later be used as backfill to the stream crossings. FIELD INVESTIGATION REPORT - CITY OF JACKSONVILLE SEWER FACILITY PAGE #3 10. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS: Royal and Little Creeks are important tributaries to the upper New River and may provide significant habitat to anadromous fishes and other fishery resources. The instream excavation and pipeline installation will temporarily interrupt the movements of any local finfish populations. This can be minimized by reducing the actual time involved with completing the creek crossings. The potential for significant adverse impacts can come, or may come, from upland runoff associated with the construction corridor along Royal Creek. Here again, construction techniques and the strict use of sediment control measures will help reduce the potential problem. Once the project has been completed, and the alignment stabilized, the proposed project should have little to no impact on estuarine resources of the New River. PREPARED BY: JAMES L.

Sutton Division of Environmental Management North Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Community Development 512 North Salisbury Street Raleigh, North Carolina 27611 Dear Mr. Sutton: RECEIVED LIAR 3 0 19$7 WATER QUALITY SLCTION OPERATIONS 13RANt`N Reference your letter of March 23, 1987, regarding the City of Jacksonville's proposed completion of the Mill Creek Interceptor, Phase II. For the purposes of the Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program, Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330, published in the Federal Register on November 13, 1986, lists nationwide permits. Authorization was provided for the discharge of material for backfill or bedding for utility lines, including outfall and intake structures, provided there is no change in pre- construction bottom contours and all excess material is removed to an upland disposal area. For this nationwide permit to be valid, the City of Jacksonville must comply with the following conditions: a. Any discharge of dredged or fill material will not occur in the proximity of a public water supply. b. Any discharge of dredged or fill material will not occur in areas of concentrated shellfish production. c. The activity will not jeopardize a threatened or endangered species as identified under the Endangered Species Act, or destroy or adversely modify the cultural habitat of such species. a- i . -2- d. The activity will not significantly disrupt the movement of those species of aquatic life indigenous to the waterbody. e. Any discharge of dredged or fill material will consist of suitable material free from toxic pollutants. f. Any structure or fill will be properly maintained. g. State water quality certification must be obtained or waived. h. State coastal zone management consistency concurrence must be obtained or waived. i. The following management practices will be followed to the maximum practical extent: (1) Discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States will be avoided or minimized through the use of other practical alternatives. (2) Discharges in spawning areas during spawning seasons will be avoided. (3) Discharges will not restrict or impede the movement of aquatic species indigenous to the waters or the passage of normal or expected high flows or cause the relocation of the waters (unless the primary purpose of the fill is to impound water).
