FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT (FNSI)
Article I, Chapter 113A of the North Carolina General Statutes requires an action to be subject to
the requirements of the North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NCEPA) if it involves the
expenditure of public funds and a potential impact is anticipated to the environment. The project
has been evaluated for compliance with the NCEPA and determined to be a major action which
will affect the environment.
Project Applicant: Swansboro, North Carolina
Project Description: The proposed project consists of upgrading and expanding the existing
wastewater treatment plant from 0.3 to 0.6 million gallons per day (mgd),
providing tertiary treatment to achieve reuse standards, and land applying
the effluent.
Project Number: E-SRG-T-00-0105
Project Cost: $5,331,884
Clean Water Management Trust Fund: $1,739,594
High Unit Cost Grant: $2,967,290
Economic Development Administration: $ 625,000
The review process indicated that significant adverse environmental impacts should not occur if
mitigative measures are implemented, and an environmental impact statement (EIS) will not be
required. The decision was based on information in the preliminary engineering report and
reviews by governmental agencies. An environmental assessment supporting this action is
attached. This FNSI completes the environmental review record, which is available for
inspection at the State Clearinghouse.
No administrative action will. be taken on the.proposed project for at least.lhirty days after
notification that the FNSI has been published in the North Carolina Environmental Bulletin.
Sincerely,

ENVIRONME NTAL ASSESSMENT
A. Proposed Facilities and Actions
Figure 1 shows the location of the existing wastewater treatment plant, route of the proposed
force main, and the selected land application site.
Treatment and Transport Facilities. The town of Swansboro will upgrade and expand the
existing 0.3 million gallons per day (mgd) plant to a 0.6 mgd facility to produce tertiary treated
effluent consistent with reuse standards. Improvements to the existing wastewater treatment
plant will consist of paralleling the existing oxidation ditch with a new reactor basin, providing a
new final clarifier to operate in parallel with the existing two clarifiers, constructing dual tertiary
filters to attain reuse standards, developing a five-day detention pond for reuse storage, adding
one aerobic digester and an aerated sludge holding basin for biosolids treatment and detention,
retrofitting the return sludge pump station, installing a reuse effluent transfer pump station,
upgrading the disinfection system, and providing a turbidity monitor. Additional requirements at
the plant site will consist of yard piping, site grading, flow controls, standby power, and electrical
work. After the influent is provided tertiary treatment, the effluent will be transported to the 218-
acre land application site via 34,000 feet of poly vinyl chloride pipe and 650 feet of ductile iron
12-inch force main. The spray irrigation process will include a 45- to 60-day holding pond, an
effluent pumping station, and a solid set irrigation system. Additional requirements at the land
application site will consist of controlling runoff, seeding, fencing, and electrical wiring. The
existing sludge drying beds and the sludge bagging system will be phased out. The proposed
sludge processing equipment will provide adequate digestion to meet the requirements for a
Class B sludge in accordance with 40 CFR, Part 503. Liquid sludge will be land applied at a site
approved by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ).
Reuse standards require the treatment process to produce a tertiary quality effluent in accordance
with the following limitations:
a • Monthly Average TSS s 5 mg/l with a daily,maximum s -10 mg/I
© Monthly Mean Fecal Coliform s 141100 ml with a daily maximum s 25/100 ml
a Monthly Average BODs s 10 mg/1 with a daily maximums 15 mg/1
O Monthly Average NH3 s 4 mg/1 with a daily maximums 6 mg/1
B. Existing Environment
Toopomraphy and Soils. The town of Swansboro is located in eastern Onslow County. The town
has a population of approximately 1,419 persons, and the economy is dominated by employment
in the government, service, and retail sectors. Urban activities are influenced by the town's
proximity to Bogue Sound, Intracoastal Waterway, and the Atlantic Ocean. Most of the area is
fairly flat with wide undissected interstreams. Water movement is slow in the area due to
minimal topographical relief, and the soils are poorly or very poorly drained.

Surface Waters. The town of Swansboro is located in the White Oak River Basin. Water quality
in the area is rated "good." However, temporary closures to shellfish harvesting occur frequently
after heavy rainfall events. This is a result of runoff from farmland and residential developments.
Swansboro currently discharges effluent into "SA" waters of Fosters Creek, which flows into the
Intracoastal Waterway. The Shellfish Sanitation Branch of the Division of Environmental Health
performed a hydrographic study and determined that the existing closure buffer was not adequate
to protect shellfish areas.
Water Supply. The town of Swansboro currently receives potable water through a contract with
Onslow County.
C. Existing Wastewater Facilities
The town of Swansboro owns and operates a 0.3 mgd activated sludge wastewater treatment
plant that was constructed in 1980 with an effluent discharge into Fosters Creek. The existing
wastewater treatment plant consists of an equalization basin, bar screen, grit chamber, oxidation
ditch with two rotor type aerators, dual secondary clarifiers, tertiary filters, gas chlorination,
aerobic digester, and sand drying beds. Current effluent limitations are BOD5=30 mg/l, TSS=30
mg/l, Fecal Colifor11 =141100 ml, and pH=6.8-8.5 SU. Sludge is aerobically digested and either
placed on sand beds or dried by a mechanical bagging technique. Dried sludge from both
processes is land applied. Liquid sludge is also land applied when conditions preclude land
applying dried sludge.
D. Need for Proposed Facilities and Actions
Daily monitoring reports indicate that the existing wastewater treatment plant has an average
flow of 0.264 mgd. This amount of flow indicates the plant is being operated at 88 percent of the
design capacity, and additional growth in the service area will increase the demand for more
wastewater capacity. Accordingly, DWQ requires an evaluation of future flows prior to the
treatment plant exceeding 80 percent of the permitted capacity. The operatodowner of the
facility must also make plans to expand the wastewater treatment plant prior to the permitted v
hydraulic capacity exceeding 90 percent of the design flow: -Although wastewater treatment
capacity needs to be expanded to adequately process the existing and future hydraulic load, the
proximity of the discharge location to the existing shellfish closure line precludes increasing the
amount of effluent that can be discharged into Fosters Creek. Therefore, the proposed
wastewater treatment and disposal facilities need to be provided to protect shellfish areas and
maintain water quality.
2

u- , r
E. Alternatives Analysls

The town of Swansboro needs to make significant improvements to the existing wastewater
treatment facilities to comply with regulatory requirements. The town also needs to eliminate the
existing effluent discharge into surface waters to protect shellfish resources. Accordingly, a
preliminary engineering report was prepared, and two alternatives were evaluated. The "no-
action" alternative is unacceptable because the town needs new wastewater treatment facilities to
accommodate the demand. The "no-action" alternative is also unacceptable because this would
result in continuing the effluent discharge into estuarine waters in which shellfish are located.
Therefore, the choice of action for the town of Swansboro is to upgrade and expand the existing
wastewater treatment facilities to provide tertiary treatment, eliminate the effluent discharge into
Fosters Creek, and install a spray irrigation system for effluent disposal. This is the selected
alternative.
F. Environmental Consequences, Mitigative Measures
The proposed improvements to the existing treatment plant will be implemented on property
owned by the town, and the land has been previously cleared. Installation of the force main will
occur within highway rights-of-way or along easements owned by the town. The proposed 218-
acre land application site has been utilized by the paper industry for timber production, and the
site has been harvested within the past two years. Approximately 134 wetted acres will be
planted with a selected hardwood species. The Corps of Engineers will evaluate the proposed
project to determine if jurisdictional wetlands are involved, and adequate buffers will protect all
wetlands and creeks. A sedimentation and erosion control plan will be implemented to
minimize adverse runoff to surface waters. The Department of Cultural Resources has
determined that the proposed project should have no significant adverse impact to architectural,
historical, or archaeological resources. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service indicated that the
proposed project site appears not to contain suitable habitat for any federally-listed species. The
Division of Coastal Management will further evaluate the proposed project and determine if a
Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) permit is required to construct the proposed facilities.
The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission requested that the town of Swansboro implement a
stormwater management plan to eliminate or minimize runoff to estuarine areas. Accordingly,
the town has agreed to develop a comprehensive stormwater plan prior to the completion of the
wastewater treatment expansion project.
G. Public Participation, Sources Consulted
The town of Swansboro desires to implement improvements to the existing wastewater treatment
facilities and eliminate the effluent discharge to protect shellfish waters. Wastewater treatment
options for the town have been evaluated for several years, and a resolution has been signed to
request state grant assistance. No opposition to the proposed project has been expressed. A
customer living in the town and using 5,000 gallons of water currently pays $22.74 per month for
3

sewer service. The sewer charge for a typical customer residing outside the city is twice that of a
customer living inside the city. No significant increase in user charge is anticipated because the
proposed project will be funded with several grants.

Submitted by: Green Engineering
Date Received: March 22, 2004
New Submittal
Dear Mr. Walker:
This office has reviewed the subject sedimentation and erosion control plan. We find the plan to be acceptable and
hereby Issue this Letter of Approval. The enclosed Certificate of Approval must be posted at the job site. This plan approval
shall expire three (3) years following the date of approval, if no land-disturbing activity has been undertaken, as is required
by Title 15A NCAC 413.0029.
Please be advised that Title 15A, of the North Carolina Administrative Code, 4B.0018(a) requires that a copy of the
approved plan be on file at the job site. Also, you should consider this letter to give the Notice required by GS 113A-61(a)
approved plan. The last page(s) which lists approval comments should be copied and attached to the sedimentation and
erosion control plan that is maintained on site. _
North Carolina's Sedimentation Pollution Control Program is performance oriented, requiring protection of the natural
resources and adjoining properties. If, following the commencement of this project, It is determined that the erosion and
sedimentation control plan Is inadequate to meet the requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (North
Carolina General Statute 113A-51 thru 66), this office may require revisions to the plan and Its Implementation to insure
compliance with the Act.
Acceptance and approval of this plan is conditioned upon your compliance with federal and state water quality laws,
regulations, and rules. In particular, If wetlands are effected by this land disturbing activity, the provisions of the Clean Water
Act as mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency must be adhered to. In addition, local city or county ordinances
or rules may also apply to this land-disturbing activity. This approval does not supersede any other permit or approval.
Please be aware that this project will be covered by the enclosed general storm water permit NCG01000
(Construction Activities). You should first become familiar with. all of the requirements for compliance with the enclosed
general permit.
Please note that this approval Is based In part on the accuracy of the information provided In the Financial
Responsibility Form which you provided. You are requested to file an amended form if there Is any change in the information
included on the form. In addition, it would be helpful If you notify this office of the proposed starting date for this project.
We look forward to working with you on this project. If you have any questions, please contact our office.

APPROVAL COMMENTS AND CONDITIONS
PROJECT NAME: Swansboro WWTP Improvements & Spray Fields
PROJECT NUMBER: Onsio-2004-263
LOCATION: Hammock Beach Road- Onslow County
RIVER BASIN: White Oak
SUBMITTED BY: _ Green Engineering
DATE RECEIVED: March 22, 2004
1. This plan approval shall expire three (3) years following the date of approval, if no land disturbing activity
has been undertaken, as is required by Title 15A NCAC 413.0029.
ti
2. The developer is responsible for the control of sediment on-site. If the approved erosion measures prove
Insufficient, the developer must take those additional steps necessary to stop erosion from leaving this site.
Each sediment storage device must be Inspected after each storm event. Maintenance and/or clean out
is necessary anytime the device is at 50% capacity.
3. Any and all existing ditches on this project site are assumed to be left undisturbed by the proposed
development unless otherwise noted. The removal of vegetation within any existing ditch or channel is
prohibited unless the ditch or channel is to be regraded with side slopes of 2 horizontal to 1 vertical or less
steep. Bank slopes may be mowed, but stripping of vegetation is considered new earth work and is
subject to the same erosion control requirements as new ditches.
4. The developer is responsible for obtaining any and all permits and approvals necessary for the
development of this project prior to the commencement of this land disturbing activity. This could Include
agencies such as the Division of Water Quality's stormwater regulations, their enforcement requirements
within Section 401 of the Clean Water Act, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' jurisdiction of Section 404
of the Clean Water Act, the Division of Coastal Management's CAMA requirements, the Division of Solid
Waste Management's landfill regulations, the Environmental Protection Agency and/or The U. S. Army
Corps of Engineers jurisdiction of the Clean Water Act, local County or Municipalities' ordinances, or
others that may be required. This approval cannot supersede any other permit or approval; however, in
the case of a Cease and Desist Order from the Corp of Engineers, that Order would only apply to wetland
areas. All highland would still have to be in compliance with the N.C. Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
5. If any area on site falls within the jurisdiction of Section 401 or 404 of the Clean Water Act, the developer
is responsible for compliance with the requirements of the Division of.Water Quality, the Corps -of
Engineers and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) respectively. Any erosion control measures
that fall within jurisdictional wetland area must be approved by the aforementioned agencies prior to
installation or our Section must be notified of a relocation of the measures in question to the transition point
between the wetlands and the highlands to assure that the migration of sediment will not occur. If that
relocation presents a problems or contradicts any requirements of DWQ, the Corps or the EPA, it Is the
responsibility of the developer to Inform the Land Quality Section regional office so that an adequate
contingency plan can be made to assure sufficient erosion control remains on site. Failure to do so will be
considered a violation of this approval.
6. Any borrow material brought onto this site must be from a legally operated mine or other approved source.
A single use borrow site or an area to waste material Is only permissible if it Is operated under total control
of the Financially Responsible person or firm who is developing this site, is located on or adjacent to this
site, and has been incorporated as part of this plan.
Page 2 of 2 '
7. This permit allows for a land disturbance, as called for on the application plan, not to exceed 30 acres.
Exceeding that acreage will be a violation of this permit and would require a revised plan and additional
application fee. Any addition in impervious surface, over that already noted on the approved plan, would
also require a revised plan to verify the appropriateness of the erosion control measures and stormwater
retention measures.
8. The construction detail for the proposed silt fence requires reinforcing wire"and posts a maximum of
,10 feet apart. Omission of the reinforcing wire is a construction change that necessitates more posts
needed for support, i.e. the spacing distance needs to be reduced to no greater than
6 feet apart.
9.,. Re ,cause the sediment retention ponds are shown on the plan as the primary sedimentation & erosion
control devices on this project, it is necessary that the ponds and their collection system be installed before
any other grading takes place on site. If that proves to be impractical, a revised plan must be submitted
and approved that addresses erosion and sediment control needs during the interim period until the ponds
are fully functioning.
10. A g raveled c onstruction entrance must b e I orated a t e ach p oint o f a ccess a nd a gress a vailable t o
construction vehicles during the grading and construction phases of this project. Access and egress from
the project site at a point without a graveled entrance will be considered a violation of this approval.
Routine maintenance of the entrances is critical.
11. The North Carolina Sedimentation Pollution Control Act mandates a shortened time frame in which to
reestablish vegetative groundcover. Slopes (including cuts, fills, and ditch banks) left exposed will, within
15 working days or 30 calendar days (whichever is the shorter) after completion of any phase of grading,
be planted or otherwise provided with groundcover sufficient to permanently restrain erosion.

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) is willing to
accept payment for riparian wetlands impacts associated with the subject project. Please note that the decision by the
NCEEP to accept the mitigation requirements of this project does not assure that this payment will be approved by the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the N.C. Division of Water Quality Wetlands/401 Unit. It is the responsibility of the
applicant to contact these agencies to determine if payment to the NCEEP for impacts associated with this project is
appropriate. Further, it is the understanding of the NCEEP that the rules of the NC Coastal Resources Commission, as
implemented by the Division of Coastal Management, allow mitigation for impacts to coastal wetlands only for projects
that will have public benefits, as determined by the DCM, provided that the public benefits clearly outweigh the adverse
effects of the project, and further, that all reasonable means of impact avoidance and minimization have been incorporated
into the project's design.
This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter. If we have not received a copy of the issued 404
Permit/401 Certification within this time frame, this acceptance will expire. It is the applicant's responsibility to

INDIVIDUAL PERMIT APPLICATION
WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT IMPROVEMENTS
TOWN OF SWANSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA
PN: E97472.2
JANUARY 12, 2005
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Town of Swansboro is planning improvements to the existing wastewater treatment
plant just off of Old Hammocks Road (SR 1512). The purpose of this project is to
provide an alternative disposal site for treated effluent from the existing discharge into
Foster's Creek as well as upgrading plant capacity. The scope of this project is the
creation of a new reclaimed water disposal site in conjunction with improvements at the
WWTP to provide reclaimed water transport and disposal. The proposed reclaimed water
sprayfield, located just north of the intersection of SR 1744 and NC Hwy. 24, will utilize
approximately 68,141 LF 2-12" Dia. irrigation piping, one (1) 10.0 acre irrigation storage
pond, one (1) irrigation pumping station and all associated sprinklers, valves, fittings, etc.
to serve the proposed sprayfield. Improvements to the WWTP will include the addition
of a new aeration basin, clarifier, UV Disinfection, sludge holding tank, sludge pumping
station, effluent pumping station, 3.0 acre 5-day holding lagoon, and all associated
piping, valves, fittings, etc. The total project area is approximately 30 acres. A minimum
of 3' depth cover will be maintained throughout all reclaimed water irrigation piping
installation.
PROJECT ALTERNATIVES
The proposed reclaimed water sprayfield and irrigation storage lagoon are the final
products of a thorough site selection process. The selected site was chosen with
environmental impact, accessibility, and system functionality in mind. The purpose of
this project is to completely eliminate the Town's effluent discharge into Foster's Creek,
thereby reducing potential environmental impacts to shellfish closure areas in the area.
One hundred percent of the Town's effluent will be re-routed to the new sprayfield,
where the reclaimed water will be discharged through land application. The proposed
sprayfield and lagoon are located approximately seven (7) miles northwest of the Town
of Swansboro WWTP in an effort to somewhat remove the application site from coastal
influence. Several sites were considered, the one chosen being the farthest from the
Town of Swansboro.
One alternative would be to locate the pond away from the spray irrigation site.
However, this plan would require significant increases in cost and area of impact
associated with the project. Not only would additional land be purchased and disturbed,
but a cost increase due to reclaimed water transport from the lagoon to the sprayfield will
be required. To prevent excessive land disturbance it is most feasible to utilize a single
site for reclaimed water storage and irrigation. The site selected achieves this by utilizing
a high land use efficiency given the project demands. The proposed irrigation storage
VAW097AL•97472.2\Arrny Ind Permit Nu(2005).doo 1 01112/05 2:38 PM

lagoon is situated in the center of the sprayfield site, offering an efficient pumping
location as well as requiring minimal wetland disturbance in the process.
A second alternative would be to decrease the surface area of the reclaimed water storage
lagoon by allowing a deeper storage pool. This concept may approach limits set on dike
height by the Dam Safety Act as well as negate the use of a protective liner due to
complications with groundwater pressures and liner flotation. The North Carolina
Division of Water Quality has already deemed lining the lagoon a requirement and the
current lagoon surface area by design is set to the minimum which is required for storage.
The current design of the reclaimed water storage lagoon is a best fit alternative because
it makes efficient use of existing topography, achieves minimal land disturbance within
the sprayfield site, and provides minimal disturbance to existing riparian wetlands.
Impacts are limited to the far outer banks of Pasture Branch and the unnamed tributary to
Pasture Branch.
IMPACT MINIMIZATION
All required buffers have been considered in the design of the proposed reclaimed water
sprayfield. Twenty-five (25) ft. buffers are provided along the edge of wetlands existing
on the unknown tributary to Pasture Branch and one hundred (100) ft. buffers are
provided along the edge of wetlands existing on Pasture Branch. These buffers will
remain intact throughout the life of the irrigation system.
All proposed stream crossings will be made by directional bore to eliminate impacts to
existing streams.
Appropriate Sedimentation and Erosion Control measures will be implemented
throughout the project. These will include the use of silt fence, rock check dams, and
bank stabilization blankets or excelsior matting where necessary to prevent erosion and
promote growth of vegetation.
Special care will be exercised so as not to allow disturbance of wetlands except for those
absolutely required by the location of the proposed dike for the reclaimed water storage
lagoon.
The entire project will be held in strict accordance with recommendations from State and
Federal agencies as stated in permits approved for this project.
MITIGATION
It is the intention of the Town of Swansboro to provide payment into the State's
Ecosystem Enhancement Program as a means of mitigation for wetlands disturbance on
this project. The Town of Swansboro has already contacted the State on this matter and
an approval letter has been issued subject to quantities and details of the payment to be
defined by the Division of Water Quality upon that agency's approval.

On behalf of the Town of Swansboro, we offer the following responses to comments
received from your office on April 4, 2004:
Comment No. l: According to Mr. Ken Pohlig of DWQ's Construction Grants and
Loans Section, the Town will be required to grade and install a
liner in the footprint of the storage lagoon. Therefore this activity
will result in a discharge of fill material to the isolated wetlands
PAYMENT within the footprint of the lagoon and an isolated wetland permit
will be required for this fill. Since the total impact for the lagoon
RECEIVED exceeds one acre, compensatory mitigation at a 2:1 ratio will be
required in this permit. Please provide a mitigation plan that meets
the requirements of 15A NCAC 2H.1305(g). In addition, DWQ
will need to prepare a Public Notice for this project once the
mitigation and monitoring plans (see below) are prepared.
Response No. 1: The appropriate ?vellands permits have been filed with NCDENR-
DIVQ and the USACOE. The Town of Swansboro intends to bury
into the Ecosystem Enhancement Prot-ram (EEP) ill lien of
providing a mitigation plait. A request allowing the Town of
Swansboro to bity into the EEP has been made by the Toivut.

Comment No. 2: As discussed with Mr. Green, discharge of treated wastewater into
a portion of the remaining isolated wetlands on the site is exempt
from the isolated wetland rules. However as discussed, we may
recommend that monitoring be included in DWQ's non-discharge
permit for these areas in order to be sure that wetland impacts are
minimal. I believe that a site visit will be needed to determine the
need for monitoring and am in the process of scheduling a site visit
with Kim Colson (Non-Discharge Unit), Ken Pohlig (Construction
Grants and Loans Section), Ed Schwartzman of the Wetlands Unit
and Noelle Lutheran (DWQ's Wilmington Regional Office) as
well as yourself. Once we have a tentative date for the meeting, I
will call you to confirm.
Response No. 2: A visit to the site has been made to view the subject isolated
wetlands and there will be some minor irrigation discharges into
isolated wetlands as the rule allows.
Comment No. 3: According to Mr. Colson, the location of spray fields near wetlands
may require additional setbacks or a variance from the setback
rules. Please call Mr. Colson at 919-733-5083, ext. 540 to clarify
and discuss this issue.
Response No. 3: In accordance with NC Administrative Code Section ISA NCAC
02H 0.0219 (k)(1)(c)6)(IV) the following have been maintained:
100 foot buffer from edge of spray influence to surface
ivaters classified SA.
23 foot buffer from edge of spray influence and non-SA
classified waters and wetlands.
Also, in accordance with NC Administrative Code Section I5A
NCAC 02H 0.1301(e)(3) the following is exempt from the rule:
Discharges of treated effluent into isolated wetlands and isolated
classified surface waters resulting front activities which receive
NI-IDES Permits.
Please find enclosed check in the amount of $275.00 to cover the additional
application/processing fees.

The Division of Water Quality received your revised application on September 9, 2004 (dated September
8, 2004). Unfortunately, the application did not address any of the issues raised in our April 4, 2004
letter. In additional, since total wetland impact now exceeds one acre, a total 401 Certification fee of
$475.00 (an additional $275.00 is required. Finally, it is not clear whether the Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (previously named the Wetland Restoration Program) is willing to accept the mitigation
responsibility for this project.
Please address these issues in the next submittal. If these issues are not addressed in your next submittal,
then the Division will have to return the incomplete application and require a resubmittal with a new fee.

Subject: Action ID #200401197, Town of Swansboro, Reclaimed Water Sprayfield, Onslow County, NC''
Dear Mr. Shaver:
This letter provides the comments of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) on the information
provided to this office by letter dated February 23, 2005, from Green Engineering on the subject PN,
dated December 20, 2004. The information. addresses the preliminary site selection process for the
reclaimed water irrigation sprayfield proposed by the Town of Swansboro. The information is in
response to Service comments to you, dated January 25, 2005, on the proposed work. These comments as
well as our earlier letter are submitted in accordance with the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act
(FWCA) (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d). Comments related to the FWCA are to be used
in your determination of compliance with 404(b)(1) guidelines (40 CFR 230) and in your public interest
review (33 CFR 320.4) in relation to the protection of fish and wildlife resources.
The Town of Swansboro applied for a Department of the Army (DA) permit to impact 1.01 acres of
jurisdictional wetlands and 1.65 acres of isolated, non jurisdictional wetlands to construct water
sprayfield for treated effluent. The proposed site is located off Parkertown Road and contains a portion of
Pasture Branch which is tributary to Queen Creek. The proposed work would impact headwater wetlands
of Pasture Branch. The wetland impacts are associated with the construction of a 10-acre water holding
pond. Sprinklers and the pumping station would be constructed in non-wetlands.
The Service expressed concern that a reclaimed water holding pond is not a water-dependent structure.
Such a diked, holding pond could be constructed in uplands. Your letter of December 17, 2004, informed
the applicant that permits for work within wetlands or other aquatic sites are available only if the
proposed work is the least environmentally damaging, practicable alternative. You requested information
regarding any other alternatives, including upland alternatives, for the proposed disposal site and
sprayfield. The Service supported your efforts to ensure the consideration of upland sites for this work.
In regard to the avoidance and minimization of wetland impacts, the Service considered two aspects of
the project. These aspects are: (1) the selection of the site; and, (2) the placement of facilities within the
selected site. The letter from Green Engineering addresses the first aspect. Our review of this
information indicates that the Parkertown Road Site, the third of three sites considered and the one
preferred by the applicant, appears to be the least environmental damaging location. We support the
efforts to locate the sprayfield as far as possible from surface waters which flow into Queen Creek.
2
Regarding the placement of facilities within the 218-acre site, the Service is pleased that encroachment on
the surface waterways appears to have been minimized. Similarly, the placement of the sprayfields
appears to have avoided wetlands. The impacts to wetlands, both jurisdictional and isolated, are
associated with the 10-acre water holding pond. A reduction in the size of the storage pond and/or
changes in the shape of the dike could reduce wetland impacts. However, the Service does not have the
engineering expertise or knowledge of any design constraints necessary to made specific
recommendations on the size, shape, or location of the holding pond.
The Service continues to recommend that compensatory wetland mitigation should consist of in-kind
restoration in the immediate vicinity of the unavoidable wetland losses. Compensation by payment to the
North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) does not allow an evaluation of the type or
location of the mitigation wetlands. The Service continues to encourage the applicant to look for
restoration or enhancement opportunities along Queen Creek or some of the tributaries to this creek.
After adequate restoration or enhancement, preservation could be considered as part of the overall
mitigation effort.
Based on the information provided by Green Engineering, we find that the applicant has demonstrated
that alternative sites were evaluated and that the Parkertown Road Site, selected by the applicant, is the
least damaging site. Regarding the placement of facilities within this site, project plans indicate
avoidance and minimization in the siting of the sprayfield zones and pumping station. Based on this
information and a presumed desire to reduce the cost of compensatory mitigation, we have no reason to
conclude that the size or design of the water holding pond could be changed to reduce wetland impacts.
Therefore, we would concur that the wetland impacts specified in the PN are unavoidable.

Mr. Colson,
Our office is responding to comments received from Mr. John Dorney of the DWQ-Wetlands Unit
regarding the subject project. We have been directed to ask your opinion on an issue regarding buffer
setbacks. It is the understanding of our office, after reviewing NC Admin. Code Section 15A NCAC
02H 0.0219 that the following can be applicable to reclaimed water sprayfields. (100 ft. buffers from
edge of spray influence to surface waters classified SA; 25 ft. buffers front edge of spray influence and
non-SA classified waters and wetlands.) On this project Pasture Branch has been provided 100 ft.
buffers and all other wetlands and tributaries have been provided 25 ft. buffers. Please provide your
insight on the matter as it relates to the Town of Swansboro's proposed sprayfield location. I will be
happy to provide you with any information you need. Thank you for your assistance.

PRELIMINARY SITE SELECTION
RECLAIMED WATER IRRIGATION SPRAYFIELD
TOWN OF SWANSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA
PN: E97-472.2
FEBRUARY 23, 2005
PROJECT PURPOSE AND NEED
The Town of Swansboro is planning improvements to the existing wastewater treatment plant just
off of Old Hammocks Road (SR 1512). The purpose of this project is to provide an alterative
disposal site for treated effluent from the existing discharge into Foster's Creek. The need for
relocation of the disposal site is due to increasing risk to current shellfish closure areas within
waterways surrounding the Town. The most immediate area, Foster's Creek happens to also be
the location of the Town's current effluent discharge location. Recent plant discharge levels and
the threat to the immediate vicinity deemed necessary the search for an alternative effluent
discharge location. If the discharge point remains unchanged additional closure areas may be
implemented, thus dramatically affecting one of the areas most valuable resources, commercial
fishing and shellfish harvesting.
SITE ANALYSIS AND SELECTION
In the initial stages of this project the Town of Swansboro located three (3) unique areas as
possibilities for a future reclaimed water spray irrigation site. These areas, all unique in size,
location, and soil compatibility were analyzed for a best fit solution to the local environment's
needs.
Site No. 1: Existing Wastewater Treatment Plant
The first site analyzed consists of an area enveloped by SR 1512 - Old Hammock Road,
SR 1511 - Hammocks Beach Road, and Foster's Creek adjacent to the existing
Wastewater Treatment Plant site. This area encompassing approximately 80 acres of
highlands is a best fit scenario given proximity to the wastewater treatment plant. The
predominant soil type in the area is Baymeade (BaB), having a loamy sandy composition
and being well-drained. This is ideal for sprayfields due to the minimal likelihood of
producing runoff during application. However, given the plant's proposed capacity of
0.60 MGD, somewhere in the realm of approximately 110 acres is the minimum required
area for land application. Also, the site's close proximity to Foster's Creek, the location
of the Town's current discharge point leaves other locations more desirable. An increase
in residential growth in recent years further hinders the location's desirability as a
sprayfield location. Other areas, perhaps outside of the Town of Swansboro's ETJ would
be more easily accepted. In summary, this site was rejected due to size restriction and
proximity to high residential areas of the Town of Swansboro.

01!13105 236 Pot
Site No. 2: Halls Creek and SR 1511 Hammocks Bench Road
The second site analyzed consists of an area bounded by SR 1511 - Hammocks Beach
Road and Halls Creek which is tributary to Queens Crock to the West of the Town of
Swansboro. This area encompassing approximately 141 acres of highlands is a suitable
fit given size and location. The predominant soil types in the area are Onslow (On),
Norfolk (NoB), Leon (Ln), and Baymcadc (BaB). These soils range in composition from
loamy to fine sand and range from well-drained to poorly drained. The soil conditions
are ideal for sprayfield application and the location in the immediate vicinity of the
wastewater treatment plant. However, the sprayfield's immediate vicinity to Halls Creek
which is a direct tributary to Queens Crock leaves the proximity of the site to SA waters
and shellfish closure lines a subject of primary concern. Although runoff prevention is a
strict component in the design of irrigation systems, this location's immediate proximity
to Halls Creek and Queens Creek leaves competing locations more preferred. An
increase in residential growth in recent years further hinders the location's desirability as
a sprayfield location. Other areas, perhaps outside of the Town of Swansboro's EM
would be more easily accepted. In summary, this site was rejected due to its proximity to
high residential areas of the Town of Swansboro as well as its close proximity to Halls
Creek, a direct tributary to Queens Creek and shellfish closure areas.
Site No. 3: SR 1432 Parkertown Road
The third site analyzed consists of an area adjacent to SR 1432 - Parkertown Road and
just north of N.C. Highway 24 approximately 5 miles west of the Town of Swansboro.
This area encompassing approximately 218 acres of land is a suitable fit given size and
soil compatibility. The predominant soil types in the area are Goldsboro (GoA),
Baymcade (BaB), and Torhunta (To). These soils range in composition from fine sand to
fine sandy loam and range from well- drained to very poorly drained. The soil conditions
are suitable for sprayfield application and the location provides a good buffer from
shellfish closure lines in Queens Creek much further downstream. This site, which the
Town purchased from Weyerhaeuser Corporation, is ideal for irrigation. In fad, the
Corporation had just recently put the property up for sale due to its inability to effectively
harvest trees. Apparently, the site maintained such a low moisture level, it presented
complications with maintaining a tree farm. This quality makes the site ideal for
reclaimed water spray irrigation. There is no concentration of residential area
surrounding the site, with residences located only on the west and south of the sprayfield
property. The site is well outside of the Town of Swansboro's ETJ, so there is a low
probability of significant population growth in surrounding areas in the future.
Of the three (3) sites considered, Site No. 3 proves the most practical, given all design objectives
and current modern design constraints applicable to sprayficlds. The location provides a superior
buffer for shellfish closure lines in the SA waters of Queens Creek while maintaining
transmission capability approximately 7 miles from the existing Wastewater Treatment Plant. All
things considered, Site No. 3 is an ideal spray application site for the Town of Swansboro.

Dear Mr. Faison:
RE: 401 Certification and Isolated Wetland Permit
Swansboro Wastewater Treatment Improvements
Onslow County
DWQ # 04-0385, COE Action ID #: 200401,197
William G. Ross, Jr., Secretary
Alan W. Klimek, P.E., Director
On February 8, 2005, the Division of Water Quality received a copy of the Public Notice
that was issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers for this project. We are also in receipt of a
letter sent by Mr. Landon Younce dated September 28, 2004 which was written in response to
our April 4, 2004 letter.
In order for DWQ to complete our review and permitting for this project, we will need to
have the following questions addressed. These questions were raised in our April letter but not
adequately addressed in your September response. Please address the following questions so
we can issue the required permits for this project.
1. Mitigation: Please provide a copy of the letter from the NC Ecosystem Enhancement
Program which agrees to provide compensatory mitigation for the 404 wetlands and
the isolated wetlands that are proposed to be impacted for this site (total of 2.66
acres of wetland impact).
2. Monitoring plan: Please provide a monitoring plan for the isolated wetlands in order
to ensure that wetland standards are being protected in these wetlands. Monitoring
for vegetation and aquatic macrobenthos would be appropriate for these wetlands
both before disturbance and post-disturbance.
3. Non-discharge rules: Our April letter asked your consultant to contact Mr. Kim
Colson of DWQ to be certain that additional setbacks from the non-discharge rules
are not required. Your September response did not indicate whether Mr. Colson had
been contacted. Please provide written confirmation of Mr. Colson's review of this
issue.

Authority
The Corps will evaluate this application and a decide whether to issue, conditionally
issue, or deny the proposed work pursuant to applicable procedures Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344).
Location
The proposed work is adjacent to Pasture Branch and Queen Creek, off Parkertown Road
northeast of Hubert, Onslow County, North Carolina. The project can be located at 34
43.85 N 77 12.59 W.
Existing Site Conditions
The proposed disposal site, which is located 5 miles west of the wastewater plant,
currently is vegetated by 5-7 year old pine trees on a fairly consistent topography.. The
wetland areas, proposed to be impacted, are headwater wetlands of Pasture Branch and
are currently surrounded by the aforementioned young growth pine forest. The
depression wetlands are inhabited by a mixture of wetland species including but not
limited to Liquidambar Styraciua, Acer Rubrum, Lyonia Lucida, and Cyrilla

Applicant's Stated Purpose wpTERCIONOvAyr,N
DES p??D SSOf?F+?yPt?'?
The stated purpose of the project is to provide an alternative disposal site for treated
effluent from the existing discharge into Foster's Creek as well as upgrading plant
capacity. The change in effluent disposal from point source discharge to a non-discharge
alternative is expected to improve water quality to Queen Creek.
Project Description
The proposed reclaimed water sprayfield, to be located just north of the intersection of
SR 1744 and NC Hwy 24, will be comprised of approximately 68,141 LF (2-12"
diameter) irrigation piping, one 10.0 acre irrigation storage pond, one irrigation pumping
station and associated sprinklers, valves, fittings, etc. to serve the proposed sprayfield.
The project expansion would impact 1.01 acres of jurisdictional wetlands for the creation
of the storage pond, which is estimated to require 9000 cubic yards of sandy fill material. / LJ \
The pond's construction would also impact 1.65 acres of isolated wetlands, which does ( b 1
not require Department of the Army authorization. The positioning of the sprinklers and
pumping station would be in non-wetland areas. The balance of the project would
include improvements to the existing wastewater treatment plant to accomplish the
reclaimed water quality. These improvements of the plant would include the addition of a
new aeration basin, clarifier, UV Disinfection, sludge holding tank, sludge pumping
station, effluent pumping station, 3.0 acre 5-day holding lagoon, and associated
plumbing.
The applicant has proposed to compensate for the stated unavoidable impacts to the 1.01-
acre jurisdictional area associated with this proposed project through payment to the
North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP). The NCEEP has notified
the applicant that they are willing to accept payment for the project if deemed
appropriate.
Other Required Authorizations
This notice and all applicable application materials are being forwarded to the appropriate
State agencies for review. The Corps will generally not make a final permit decision
until the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) issues, denies, or waives
State certification required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (PL 92-500). The
application and this public notice serves as application to the NCDWQ for certification.
Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be reviewed at
the offices of the Wetlands/401 Unit, NCDWQ, 2321 Crabtree Boulevard, Raleigh, North
Carolina 27604-2260. All persons desiring to make comments regarding the application
for certification under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act should do so in writing

Dear Ms. Lutheran:
On behalf of the Town of Swansboro, we offer the following responses to comments
received from your office on May 13, 2005:
Comment No. 1: It appears that the total wetland impacts proposed at the project site
are now 2.73 acres including 1.01 acres of jurisdictional wetlands
and 1.72 acres of isolated wetlands. The isolated wetland impacts
are not included in the Individual Permit application. Please verify
the total amount of wetland impacts proposed.
Response No. 1: The above statement is accurate. 1.72 acres of isolated wetlands
disturbance is proposed as well as 1.01 acres of jurisdictional
wellands for a total of 2.73 acres of wetlands impact.

Comment No. 2: The additional information letter received by DWQ on March 21,
2005, included an acceptance letter from EEP for a maximum of
2.02 acres of riparian wetland mitigation. This is not cover the
amount of mitigation required for the project as proposed. Impacts
to 1.00 acre or greater of isolated wetlands requires mitigation at a
minimum of 2:1. Impacts to jurisdictional wetlands that equal or
exceed 1.00 acre, require mitigation at a minimum of a 1:1 ratio in
the form of restoration or creation. If the proposed impacts to
riparian wetlands are between 150 and 1000 feet from a stream,
mitigation at a 2:1 ratio will be required. This appears to be the
case. Please provide a mitigation plan including a new acceptance
letter from EEP if that is the form of mitigation you propose to use.
In addition, please propose to place the remaining wetlands on the
site in preservation and include a copy of the necessary legal
language (for example deed restrictions or a conservation
easement). Please note that preservation can be used for a part of
the proposed mitigation at a 5:1 ratio (not including the minimum
1:1 restoration/creation requirement).
Response No. 2: Per our conversation and correspondence with the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers the mitigation plan is proposed as follows:
A. The Town of Swansboro will preserve all remaining
wetlands oil the sprayfield site into a permanent wetlands
preserve by executing deed restrictions oil those areas of
the site (Reference attached "Draft" Conservation
Declaration and Wetlands Boundary Survey -
correspondence with Mr. Brad Shaver). This plan was
suggested by the Corps of Engineers even before discussion
with the Division of Water Quality began. The Town of
Swansboro understands that by preserving all wetlands on
site it will be able to "Buy down" all remaining
restoration/creation requirements on isolated wetlands and
riparian jurisdictional wetlands to a 1:1 ratio.

Comment No. 3: The response to Comment No. 2 of the additional information
letter received by DWQ on March 21, 2005, states that there are
only "4" isolated wetland pockets on the project site but there
appears to be "5". In addition, you state that the one pocket south
of the proposed irrigated. There is also another isolated wetland in
"zone 10" that you did not mention. Monitoring of these two areas
have been previously required. Please submit a monitoring plan
that includes monitoring for vegetation and aquatic macrobenthos
for the two remaining isolated wetlands both before disturbance
and post disturbance (prior to irrigating and after). If you have any
questions conceong the monitoring plan, please call John Dorney
at [phone].
Response No. 3: As per our conversation, only three (3) isolated wetlands pockets
will be disturbed by this project. The remaining isolated wetlands
pockets will not be impacted in any way.
NC Administrative Code Section ISA NCAC 02H 0.1301(e) (3)
exempts discharge of treated effluent into isolated wetlands.
Therefore, no monitoring plan of these remaining isolated wetland
areas is required.

DWQ Project # 040385
Onslow County
To Whom It May Concern:
On March 21, 2005, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received requested additional information
for the proposed impacts to jurisdictional wetlands and isolated wetlands associated with the proposed
wastewater treatment plant improvements for the Town of Swansboro. After reviewing the permit
application and the additional information received, the DWQ has determined that your application is
incomplete and/or provided inaccurate information as discussed below. The DWQ will require additional
information in order to process your application to impact protected wetlands on the subject property.
Therefore, unless we receive the additional information requested below, we will have to move toward
denial of your application as required by 15A NCAC 211.0506 and 213 .0223(8) and will place this
project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional information. Please provide the following
information so that we may continue to review your project.
1. It appears that the total wetland impacts proposed at the project site are now 2.73 acres including
1.01 acres of jurisdictional wetlands and 1.72 acres of isolated wetlands. The isolated wetland
impacts are not included in the Individual Permit application. Please verify the total amount of
wetland impacts proposed.
2. The additional information letter received by DWQ on March 21, 2005, included an acceptance
letter from EEP for a maximum of 2.02 acres of riparian wetland mitigation. This is not cover the
amount of mitigation required for the project as proposed. Impacts to 1.00 acre or greater of
isolated wetlands requires mitigation at a minimum of 2:1. Impacts to jurisdictional wetlands that
equal or exceed 1.00 acre, require mitigation at a minimum of a 1:1 ratio in the form of
restoration or creation. If the proposed impacts to riparian wetlands are between 150 and 1000
feet from a stream, mitigation at a 2:1 ratio will be required. This appears to be the case. Please
provide a mitigation plan including a new acceptance letter from EEP if that is the form of
mitigation you propose to use. In addition, please propose to place the remaining wetlands on the
site in preservation and include a copy of the necessary legal language (for example deed
restrictions or a conservation easement). Please note that preservation can be used for a part of

The response to Comment No. 2 of the additional information letter received by DWQ on March
21, 2005, states that there are only "4" isolated wetland pockets on the project site but there
appears to be "5". In addition, you state that the one pocket south of the proposed irrigated.
There is also another isolated wetland in "zone 10" that you did not mention. Monitoring of these
two areas has been previously required. Please submit a monitoring plan that includes monitoring
for vegetation and aquatic macrobenthos for the two remaining isolated wetlands both before
disturbance and post disturbance (prior to irrigating and after). If you have any questions
concerning the monitoring plan, please call John Domey at [phone].

October 7, 2004
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) is willing to
accept payment for riparian wetlands impacts associated with the subject project. Please note that the decision by the
NCEEP to accept the mitigation requirements of this project does not assure that this payment will be approved by the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the N.C. Division of Water Quality Wetlands/401 Unit. It is the responsibility of the
applicant to contact these agencies to determine if payment to the NCEEP for impacts associated with this project is
appropriate. Further, it is the understanding of the NCEEP that the rules of the NC Coastal Resources Commission, as
implemented by the Division of Coastal Management, allow mitigation for impacts to coastal wetlands only for projects
that will have public benefits, as determined by the DCM, provided that the public benefits clearly outweigh the adverse
effects of the project, and further, that all reasonable means of impact avoidance and minimization have been incorporated
into the project's design.
This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter. If we have not received a copy of the issued 404
Permit/401 Certification within this time frame, this acceptance will expire. It is the applicant's responsibility to
forward copies of the 404 Permit/401 Certification to Ecosystem Enhancement Program in order for an invoice to be
generated
Based on the information supplied by you in a letter dated September 30, 2004, the wetlands restoration that is necessary
to satisfy the compensatory mitigation requirements for this project is summarized in the following table. The maximum
amount of mitigation that the NCEEP will accept for this project is also indicated in this table.

Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://l12o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.litmi.
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.

PROJECT NARRATIVE
WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT IMPROVEMENTS
TOWN OF SWANSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA
PN: E97-472.2
Protect Description
The Town of Swansboro is planning improvements to the existing wastewater treatment
plant just off of Old Hammocks Road (SR 1512). The purpose of this project is to
provide an alternative disposal site for treated effluent from the existing discharge into
Foster's Creek as well as upgrading plant capacity. The scope of this project is the
creation of a new reclaimed water disposal site in conjunction with improvements at the
WWTP to provide reclaimed water transport and disposal. The proposed reclaimed water
sprayfield, located just north of the intersection of SR 1744 and NC Hwy. 24, will utilize
approximately 68,141 LF 2-12" Dia. irrigation piping, one (1) 10.0 acre irrigation storage
pond, one (1) irrigation pumping station and all associated sprinklers, valves, fittings, etc.
to serve the proposed sprayfield. Improvements to the WWTP will include the addition
of a new aeration basin, clarifier, UV Disinfection, sludge holding tank, sludge pumping
station, effluent pumping station, 3.0 acre 5-day holding lagoon, and all associated
piping, valves, fittings, etc. The reclaimed water transmission main from the WWTP to
the proposed spray disposal site was previously permitted under "Swansboro Wastewater
Improvements - Project No. ON-03249" issued on May 19, 2003. The total project area
is approximately 30 acres. A minimum of 3' depth cover will be maintained throughout
all reclaimed water irrigation piping installation.
Site Description
The topography in the project area consists of mild slopes and coastal wetlands with
slopes ranging from flat to 10 %. An 8.0 ft. wide construction corridor was used in
estimation of area to be disturbed by installation of reclaimed water irrigation piping
within the sprayfield. Typical soil types throughout the project area are BaB (Baymeade
fine sand), To (Torhunta fine sandy loam), and GoA (Goldsboro fine sandy loam).
Constniction Sequence
Due to the nature of spray irrigation facility construction, construction of specific
irrigation zones will be staged. Typically, a crew will install irrigation mains first and
then follow with the installation of laterals, risers and sprinkler heads to complete the
field. Given the high number of irrigation piping required it is doubtful a contractor will
install all zones simultaneously. Most likely, the contractor will install the sprayfield in
stages beginning in one zone, continuing to the next, and completing construction in the
last zone. This process should result in minimal land disturbance at a given point in time,
thus contributing minimal threat to local waterways.

Planned Erosion and Sedimentation Control Measures
1. Silt Fencing - Silt Fence will be installed as shown on the construction plans
or as deemed necessary by visual inspection. This will be done by the
contractor and inspected by the engineer to ensure all sediment is properly
contained.
2. Rock Check Dams - Rock Check Dams will be installed as a temporary
measure throughout the project to restrict the velocity within the disturbed
roadside ditches or channels affected thereby reducing the potential of
erosion. These check dams will also serve as temporary sediment traps and
will be placed wherever necessary as shown on the construction plans.
3. Temporary Inlet Protection - Inlet protection will be provided on all existing
drainage pipes and inlets on the project to ensure proper sediment
containment.
4. Excelsior (curled wood) Temporary Matting - Roadside Ditch stabilization
will be provided by the use of curled wood matting in required areas either
as shown on construction plans or as deemed necessary by visual observation
of the construction site.

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
No intermediate or nerennial streams will be imnacted by the construction of this nroiect. The
pond is designed with a combination of minimal disturbance to wetlands, economical layout and
operation a f' iciency in mind. The pond mirface area is dependent on storage required and

VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
littp://li2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetIands/strmf;ide.litm1.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.

PROJECT NARRATIVE
WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT IMPROVEMENTS
TOWN OF SWANSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA
PN: E97-472.2
Project Description
The Town of Swansboro is planning improvements to the existing wastewater treatment
plant just off of Old Hammocks Road (SR 1512). The purpose of this project is to
provide an alternative disposal site for treated effluent from the existing discharge into
Foster's Creek as well as upgrading plant capacity. The scope of this project is the
creation of a new reclaimed water disposal site in conjunction with improvements at the
WWTP to provide reclaimed water transport and disposal. The proposed reclaimed water
sprayfield, located just north of the intersection of SR 1744 and NC Hwy. 24, will utilize
approximately 68,141 LF 2-12" Dia. irrigation piping, one (1) 10.0 acre irrigation storage
pond, one (1) irrigation pumping station and all associated sprinklers, valves, fittings, etc.
to serve the proposed sprayfield. Improvements to the WWTP will include the addition
of a new aeration basin, clarifier, UV Disinfection, sludge holding tank, sludge pumping
station, effluent pumping station, 3.0 acre 5-day holding lagoon, and all associated
piping, valves, fittings, etc. The reclaimed water transmission main from the WWTP to
the proposed spray disposal site was previously permitted under "Swansboro Wastewater
Improvements - Project No. ON-03249" issued on May 19, 2003. The total project area
is approximately 30 acres. A minimum of 3' depth cover will be maintained throughout
all reclaimed water irrigation piping installation.
Site Description
The topography in the project area consists of mild slopes and coastal wetlands with
slopes ranging from flat to 10 %. An 8.0 ft. wide construction corridor was used in
estimation of area to be disturbed by installation of reclaimed water irrigation piping
within the sprayfield. Typical soil types throughout the project area are BaB (Baymeade
fine sand), To (Torhunta fine sandy loam), and GoA (Goldsboro fine sandy loam).
Construction Sequence
Due to the nature of spray irrigation facility construction, construction of specific
irrigation zones will be staged. Typically, a crew will install irrigation mains first and
then follow with the installation of laterals, risers and sprinkler heads to complete the
field. Given the high number of irrigation piping required it is doubtful a contractor will
install all zones simultaneously. Most likely, the contractor will install the sprayfield in
stages beginning in one zone, continuing to the next, and completing construction in the
last zone. This process should result in minimal land disturbance at a given point in time,
thus contributing minimal threat to local waterways.

Planned Erosion and Sedimentation Control Measures
Silt Fencing - Silt Fence will be installed as shown on the construction plans
or as deemed necessary by visual inspection. This will be done by the
contractor and inspected by the engineer to ensure all sediment is properly
contained.
2. Rock Check Dams - Rock Check Dams will be installed as a temporary
measure throughout the project to restrict the velocity within the disturbed
roadside ditches or channels affected thereby reducing the potential of
erosion. These check dams will also serve as temporary sediment traps and
will be placed wherever necessary as shown on the construction plans.
3. Temporary, Inlet Protection - Inlet protection will be provided on all existing
drainage pipes and inlets on the project to ensure proper sediment
containment.
4. Excelsior curled wood) Temporary Matting - Roadside Ditch stabilization
will be provided by the use of curled wood matting in required areas either
as shown on construction plans or as deemed necessary by visual observation
of the construction site.

PROJECT NARRATIVE
WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT IMPROVEMENTS
TOWN OF SWANSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA
PN: E97-472.2
Proiect Description
The Town of Swansboro is planning improvements to the existing wastewater treatment
plant just off of Old Hammocks Road (SR 1512). The purpose of this project is to
provide an alternative disposal site for treated effluent from the existing discharge into
Foster's Creek as well as upgrading plant capacity. The scope of this project is the
creation of a new reclaimed water disposal site in conjunction with improvements at the
WWTP to provide reclaimed water transport and disposal. The proposed reclaimed water
sprayfield, located just north of the intersection of SR 1744 and NC Hwy. 24, will utilize
approximately 68,141 LF 2-12" Dia. irrigation piping, one (1) 10.0 acre irrigation storage
pond, one (1) irrigation pumping station and all associated sprinklers, valves, fittings, etc.
to serve the proposed sprayfield. Improvements to the WWTP will include the addition
of a new aeration basin, clarifier, UV Disinfection, sludge holding tank, sludge pumping
station, effluent pumping station, 3.0 acre 5-day holding lagoon, and all associated
piping, valves, fittings, etc. The reclaimed water transmission main from the WWTP to
the proposed spray disposal site was previously permitted under "Swansboro Wastewater
Improvements - Project No. ON-03249" issued on May 19, 2003. The total project area
is approximately 30 acres. A minimum of 3' depth cover will be maintained throughout
all reclaimed water irrigation piping installation.
Site Description
The topography in the project area consists of mild slopes and coastal wetlands with
slopes ranging from flat to 10 %. An 8.0 ft. wide construction corridor was used in
estimation of area to be disturbed by installation of reclaimed water irrigation piping
within the sprayfield. Typical soil types throughout the project area are BaB (Baymeade
fine sand), To (Torhunta fine sandy loam), and GoA (Goldsboro fine sandy loam).
Construction Sequence
Due to the nature of spray irrigation facility construction, construction of specific
irrigation zones will be staged. Typically, a crew will install irrigation mains first and
then follow with the installation of laterals, risers and sprinkler heads to complete the
field. Given the high number of irrigation piping required it is doubtful a contractor will
install all zones simultaneously. Most likely, the contractor will install the sprayfield in
stages beginning in one zone, continuing to the next, and completing construction in the
last zone. This process should result in minimal land disturbance at a given point in time,
thus contributing minimal threat to local waterways.

Planned Erosion and Sedimentation Control Measures
1. Silt Fencing - Silt Fence will be installed as shown on the construction plans
or as deemed necessary by visual inspection. This will be done by the
contractor and inspected by the engineer to ensure all sediment is properly
contained.
2. Rock Check Dams - Rock Check Dams will be installed as a temporary
measure throughout the project to restrict the velocity within the disturbed
roadside ditches or channels affected thereby reducing the potential of
erosion. These check dams will also serve as temporary sediment traps and
will be placed wherever necessary as shown on the construction plans.
3. Temporary Inlet Protection - Inlet protection will be provided on all existing
drainage pipes and inlets on the project to ensure proper sediment
containment.
4. Excelsior (curled wood) Temporary Matting - Roadside Ditch stabilization
will be provided by the use of curled wood matting in required areas either
as shown on construction plans or as deemed necessary by visual observation
of the construction site.

okay just talked to noelle and we tentatively set a date for field visit for monday
april 19th starting at 10 am on site. can everyone else (or most of everyone
else!) make that date? noelle will coordinate WiRO staff attendance. if we cannot
make the 19th, then it will be mid to late may before noelle and i are available.
please advise. if we have a majority, then i'll call the consultant to get them
there too. we'll have a vehicle leaving from raleigh that morning but will
probably need to leave around 7 am to get there on time. thankx

John and Kim,
Cecil Madden (my boss) asked me to send an e-mail to you both regarding the
Swansboro Isolated wetlands issues, and to let you know that I'd be happy to go
along with you all to visit the Swansboro proposed spray + storage pond site, if
you all decide to visit the site. I've already visited the site, along with
Wilmington Regional Office staff (Bruce Parris, Groundwater Section - now in the
Mooresville Reg. Office, and Jim Bushardt, WQ Section). My schedule is generally
open any day, with the exception of April 7th (when I would not be able to go).
I thought I'd take this opportunity to provide some background on the proposed
project. As you well may know, currently the Swansboro WWTP discharges into
Fosters Creek in the White Oak River Basin. They were told by the WQ Section
years ago that the entire discharge into the White Oak Basin had to be eliminated;
hence the driving force behind this totally non-discharging project. The WWTP
currently is rated at 0.3 MGD, but will be increased to 0.6 MGD. The WWTP will
use oxidation ditch technology with denitrification capability, with tertiary
filters (rotating cloth filters, already installed) with W disinfection to
generate Reclaimed Water.
The proposed site is several miles west of the Swnasboro WWTP, off Rt. 24. It is
roughly a 200+ acre tract of land purchased by the Town just for this spray
irrigation project, of which about 109 acres is useable irrigation land, after you
carve out the required buffers. (Note: The 109 spray acres supplies about 0.485
MGD of spray disposal, not the full 0.6 MGD. Therefore this is how we intend to
write the permit.] Two small streams dissect the site: one is classified as SA,
the other is not.
The proposed reclaimed water holding pond originally was not to be lined, but now
will be lined with a 60-mil HDPE synthetic liner. This was based mainly on our
comment to the Engineer (Leo Green of Green Engineering) about preventing seepage
on the outside berm walls. The holding pond will hold roughly 18 MG of water, and
is roughly 6 acres at a maximum water depth of 10 feet in the holding pond. There
are two isolated wetlands in question that will be completely covered by the pond
1 of 2 4/12/04 8:35 AM
imap://john.dorney%40dwq.denr.ncmaii.net @cros.ncmail.net:143/fe...
footprint: one about 1 acre in size, and the other about 0.06 acres. The exising
ground elevation across the proposed footprint varries from about 30.x to 40'
MSL, with the proposed pond bottom being at 30' MSL. This implies obviously that
the footprint will need to be excavated and the surface prepared for the
installation of the 60 mil HDPE liner. The larger isolated wetland ground
elevation is about at 31' MSL, and the smaller one at about 32' MSL. Several
subsurface drainpipes are proposed to be placed under the liner to ensure that
groundwater hydrostatic pressure will not cause liner installation problems, in
addition to operational problems with the liner in the future.
With this current pond design, the berm walls are at a maximum of about 10 feet
tall. If the pond bottom were not placed at 30' MSL but rather the bottom were
placed at a higher elevation, then this obviously shoves up the berm walls
higher. At some point, Dam Safety will get involved (at the 15' mark) which
obviously they would like to avoid. The other problem, however, is that this land
is not flat, and in order to practically install a liner, a flat bottom is
required. Therefore, either cutting and leveling is required, or filling and
leveling is required. They obviously prefer to cut and level, and we here at CG&L
would agree with them.
There are several other isolated wetlands dotted throughout the site, which are
buffered out from the spray irrigation wetted area.
Hopes this gives you some useful background information.

Dear Mr. Younce:
On March 12, 2004, 2002, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) was notified by receipt of your
application (dated March 11, 2004) regarding your plan to fill isolated wetlands for the purpose of
construction of the Town of Swansboro `s forested reclaimed water spray application site at SR 1744
And NC 24 in Onslow County. Approval from DWQ is required to disturb these wetlands. Please
provide 7 copies of the following information and refer to the DWQ # listed above in your reply so we
can begin to determine your projects' compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .1300.
1. According to Mr. Ken Polig of DWQ's Construction Grants and Loans Section, the Town will
be required to grade and install a liner in the footprint of the storage lagoon. Therefore this
activity will result in a discharge of fill material to the isolated wetlands within the footprint
of the lagoon and an isolated wetland permit will be required for this fill. Since the total
impact for the lagoon exceeds one acre, compensatory mitigation at a 2:1 ratio will be
required in this permit. Please provide a mitigation plan that meets the requirements of 15A
NCAC 2H.1305(g). In addition, DWQ will need to prepare a Public Notice for this project
once the mitigation and monitoring plans (see below) are prepared.
2. As discussed with Mr. Green, discharge of treated wastewater into a portion of the remaining
isolated wetlands on the site is exempt from the isolated wetland rules. However as
discussed, we may recommend that monitoring be included in DWQ's non-discharge permit
for these areas in order to be sure that wetland impacts are minimal. I believe that a site visit
will be needed to determine the need for monitoring and am in the process of scheduling a
site visit with Kim Colson (Non-Discharge Unit), Ken Polig (Construction Grants and Loans
Section), Ed Schwartzman of the Wetlands Unit and Noelle Lutheran (DWQ's Wilmington
Regional Office) as well as yourself. Once we have a tentative date for the meeting, I will
call you to confirm.
3. According to Mr. Colson, the location of spray fields near wetlands may require additional
setbacks or a variance from the setback rules. Please call Mr. Colson at 919-733-5083, ext.
540 to clarify and discuss this issue.
Please telephone me at 919-733-9646 if you have any questions or would require copies of our rules
or procedural materials. This project will remain on hold as incomplete in accordance with 15A
NCAC 2H .1300. The processing time for this application will begin when this information is
received. If we do not hear from you by writing within three (3) weeks we will assume you no longer
want to pursue the project and will consider it withdrawn.

The proposed site is several miles west of the Swnasboro WWTP, off Rt. 24. It is
roughly a 200+ acre tract of land purchased by the Town just for this spray
irrigation project, of which about 109 acres is useable irrigation land, after you
carve out the required buffers. [Note: The 109 spray acres supplies about 0.485 MGD
of spray disposal, not the full 0.6 MGD. Therefore this is how we intend to write
the permit.] Two small streams dissect the site: one is class' 'ed as SA, the other
is not. it
C" ?eN'e.
The proposed reclaimed water holding pond originally was not to be line but now
will be lined with a 60-mil HDPE synthetic liner. This was based mainly on our
comment to the Engineer (Leo Green of Green Engineering) about preventing seepage on
the outside berm walls. The holding pond will hold roughly 18 MG of water, and is
roughly 6 acres at a maximum water depth of 10 feet in the holding pond. There are
two isolated wetlands in question that will be completely covered by the pond
footprint: one about 1 acre in size, and the other about 0.06 acres. The exising
ground elevation across the proposed footprint varries from about 30.x to 40' MSL,
with the proposed pond bottom being at 30' MSL. This implies obviously that the
footprint will need to be excavated and the surface prepared for the installation of
the 60 mil HDPE liner. The larger isolated wetland ground elevation is about at 31'
MSL, and the smaller one at about 32' MSL. Several subsurface drainpipes are
proposed to be placed under the liner to ensure that groundwater hydrostatic pressure
will not cause liner installation problems, in addition to operational problems with
the liner in the future.
With this current pond design, the berm walls are at a maximum of about 10 feet
tall. If the pond bottom were not placed at 30' MSL but rather the bottom were
placed at a higher elevation, then this obviously shoves up the berm walls higher.
At some point, Dam Safety will get involved (at the 15' mark) which obviously they
would like to avoid. The other problem, however, is that this land is not flat, and
in order to practically install a liner, a flat bottom is required. Therefore,
either cutting and leveling is required, or filling and leveling is required. They
obviously prefer to cut and level, and we here at CG&L would agree with them.
There are several other isolated wetlands dotted throughout the site, which are
buffered out from the spray irrigation wetted area.
Hopes this gives you some useful background information.

RE: Town of Swansboro Land Application Permit
DWQ # 04-0385
Onslow County
Attached for your information and review is a recently-received application from the Town
of Swansboro for a land application project. We have sent the project to the Wilmington
Regional Office for their review. There are isolated wetlands on the site that are proposed to be
impacted by spray of treated wastewater, fill and excavation. The proposed spray and fill are
either exempt from the isolated wetland permitting process and the excavation may be exempt. I
plan to meet with Coleen to discuss the isolated wetland rules in this regard and think it may be
useful to have a representative of your program present as well since this is the first application
we have seen proposing spray irrigation to isolated wetlands. Please call me (733-9646) or
email me if you are interested in meeting with us and I will set up a time in early April. I also
expect that a site visit with Noelle Lutheran, Wilmington Regional Office would be warranted so
please let me know if you or your staff are interested in that as well. Thankx

VHL Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://l12o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strniL ide.litml.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism. (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation. easement, etc.), . and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach

PROJECT NARRATIVE
WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT IMPROVEMENTS
TOWN OF SWANSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA
PN: E97-472.2
Project Description
The Town of Swansboro is planning improvements to the existing wastewater treatment plant just
off of Old Hammocks Road (SR 1512). The purpose of this project is to provide an alternative
disposal site for treated effluent from the existing discharge into Fostcr's Creek as well as
upgrading plant capacity. The scope of this project is the creation of a new reclaimed water
disposal site in conjunction with improvements at the WWTP to provide reclaimed water
transport and disposal. The proposed reclaimed water sprayfield, located just north of the
intersection of SR 1744 and NC Hwy. 24, will utilize approximately 68,141 LF 2-12" Dia.
irrigation piping, one (1) 10.0 acre irrigation storage pond, one (1) irrigation pumping station and
all associated sprinklers, valves, fittings, etc. to serve the proposed sprayficld. Improvements to
the WWTP will include the addition of a new aeration basin, clarifier, W Disinfection, sludge
holding tank, sludge pumping station, effluent pumping station, 3.0 acre 5-day holding lagoon,
and all associated piping, valves, fittings, etc. The reclaimed water transmission main from the
WWTP to the proposed spray disposal site was previously permitted under "Swansboro
Wastewater Improvements - Project No. ON-03249" issued on May 19, 2003. The total project
area is approximately 30 acres. A minimum of 3' depth cover will be maintained throughout all
reclaimed water irrigation piping installation.
Site Description
The topography in the project area consists of mild slopes and coastal wetlands with slopes
ranging from flat to 10 %. An 8.0 ft. wide construction corridor was used in estimation of area to
be disturbed by installation of reclaimed water irrigation piping within the sprayfield. Typical
soil types throughout the project area are BaB (Baymeade fine sand), To (Torhunta fine sandy
loam), and GoA (Goldsboro fine sandy loam).
Planned Erosion and Sedimentation Control Measures
1. Silt Fencing - Silt Fence will be installed as shown on the construction plans or as
deemed necessary by visual inspection. This will be done by the contractor and
inspected by the engineer to ensure all sediment is properly contained.
2. Rock Check Dams - Rock Check Dams will be installed as a temporary measure
throughout the project to restrict the velocity within the disturbed roadside ditches or
channels affected thereby reducing the potential of erosion. These check dams will
also serve as temporary sediment traps and will be placed wherever necessary as
shown on the construction plans.
3. Temporary Inlct Protection - Inlct protection will be provided on all existing
drainage pipes and inlets on the project to ensure proper sediment containment.
4. Excelsior (curled wood) Temporary Matting - Roadside Ditch stabilization
will be provided by the use of curled wood matting in required areas either
as shown on construction plans or as deemed necessary by visual observation
of the construction site.

PROJECT NARRATIVE
WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT IMPROVEMENTS
TOWN OF SWANSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA
PN: E97-472.2
Project Description
The Town of Swansboro is planning improvements to the existing wastewater treatment plant just
off of Old Hammocks Road (SR 1512). The purpose of this project is to provide an alternative
disposal site for treated effluent from the existing discharge into Foster's Creek as well as
upgrading plant capacity. The scope of this project is the creation of a new reclaimed water
disposal site in conjunction with improvements at the WWTP to provide reclaimed water
transport and disposal. The proposed reclaimed water sprayfield, located just north of the
intersection of SR 1744 and NC Hwy. 24, will utilize approximately 68,141 LF 2-12" Dia.
irrigation piping, one (1) 10.0 acre irrigation storage pond, one (1) irrigation pumping station and
all associated sprinklers, valves, fittings, etc. to serve the proposed sprayfield. Improvements to
the WWTP will include the addition of a new aeration basin, clarifier, W Disinfection, sludge
holding tank, sludge pumping station, effluent pumping station, 3.0 acre 5-day holding lagoon,
and all associated piping, valves, fittings, etc. The reclaimed water transmission main from the
WWTP to the proposed spray disposal site was previously permitted under "Swansboro
Wastewater Improvements - Project No. ON-03249" issued on May 19, 2003. The total project
area is approximately 30 acres. A minimum of 3' depth cover will be maintained throughout all
reclaimed water irrigation piping installation.
Site Description
The topography in the project area consists of mild slopes and coastal wetlands with slopes
ranging from flat to 10 %. An 8.0 ft. wide construction corridor was used in estimation of area to
be disturbed by installation of reclaimed water irrigation piping within the sprayfield. Typical
soil types throughout the project area are BaB (Baymeade fine sand), To (Torhunta fine sandy
loam), and GoA (Goldsboro fine sandy loam).
Planned Erosion and Sedimentation Control Measures
1. Silt Fencing - Silt Fence will be installed as shown on the construction plans or as
deemed necessary by visual inspection. This will be done by the contractor and
inspected by the engineer to ensure all sediment is properly contained.
2. Rock Check Dams - Rock Check Dams will be installed as a temporary measure
throughout the project to restrict the velocity within the disturbed roadside ditches or
channels affected thereby reducing the potential of erosion. These check dams will
also serve as temporary sediment traps and will be placed wherever necessary as
shown on the construction plans.
3. Temporary Inlet Protection -Inlet protection will be provided on all existing
drainage pipes and inlets on the project to ensure proper sediment containment.
4. Excelsior (curled wood) Temporary Matting - Roadside Ditch stabilization
will be provided by the use of curled wood matting in required areas either
as shown on construction plans or as deemed necessary by visual observation
of the construction site.
