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.

PROJECT NARRATIVE
WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT IMPROVEMENTS
TOWN OF SWANSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA
PN: E97-472.5
MAY 30, 2006
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 project was originally planned and permitted as a reclaimed water land application
site. However, at the request of the Town of Swansboro and Green Engineering a
revision to the project design now includes reclaimed water low rate infiltration as the
disposal option. The modified design is in its final review stage by the Division of Water
Quality, Construction Grants and Loans Section and approval of the modified permit will
be issued soon. The proposed design includes four (4) reclaimed water low rate
infiltration basins (at the original project area) encompassing a total of 15.0 acres for all
four basins, located just north of the intersection of SR 1744 and NC Hwy. 24, and all
associated valves, fittings, etc. to serve the proposed site. None of the four (4) proposed
basins will impact existing wetlands.
A new access road is being extended to serve the proposed basins and one (1) stream and
wetland crossing by that road is the subject of this application. No other impacts to
existing streams or wetlands are proposed. 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
transmission piping installation.

landmarks such as towns, rivers, and roads. Also provide a detailed site plan showing property
boundaries and development plans in relation to surrounding properties. Both the vicinity map
and site plan must include a scale and north arrow. The specific footprints of all buildings,
impervious surfaces, or other facilities must be included. If possible, the maps and plans should
include the appropriate USGS Topographic Quad Map and NRCS Soil Survey with the property
boundaries outlined. Plan drawings, or other maps may be included at the applicant's discretion,
so long as the property is clearly defined. For administrative and distribution purposes, the
USACE requires information to be submitted on sheets no larger than 11 by 17-inch format;
however, DWQ may accept paperwork of any size. DWQ prefers full-size construction
drawings rather than a sequential sheet version of the full-size plans. If full-size plans are
reduced to a small scale such that the final version is illegible, the applicant will be informed that
the project has been placed on hold until decipherable maps are provided.

VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. The applicant must also
provide justification for these impacts in Section VII below. All proposed impacts, permanent
and temporary, must be listed herein, and must be clearly identifiable on an accompanying site
plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) must be shown on a
delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems. Wetland and stream
evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate. Photographs may be
included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for wetland or stream
mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional space is needed for
listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.

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.
The existhw access path alreadv utilizes a 12" dia. culvert at the stream crossin,y. The
prevent
access road is being widened and the capacity of the crossin is s being enlarged to
flooding or overtopping of the gravel roadbed. No other stream or wetlands on site are heing _
Impacted by this project. 7be access road is being constructed within a SO ft. width corridor.
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.
Page 9 of 12
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://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
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

coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No ?
If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a
copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter.
Yes ? No ?
X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 213 .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 213 .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 213 .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify N/A )?
Yes ? No ® If you answered "yes", provide the following information:
Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer
mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer
multipliers.

PROJECT NARRATIVE
WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT IMPROVEMENTS
TOWN OF SWANSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA
PN: E97-472.5
MAY 30, 2006
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 project was originally planned and permitted as a reclaimed water land application
site. However, at the request of the Town of Swansboro and Green Engineering a
revision to the project design now includes reclaimed water low rate infiltration as the
disposal option. The modified design is in its final review stage by the Division of Water
Quality, Construction Grants and Loans Section and approval of the modified permit will
be issued soon. The proposed design includes four (4) reclaimed water low rate
infiltration basins (at the original project area) encompassing a total of 15.0 acres for all
four basins, located just north of the intersection of SR 1744 and NC Hwy. 24, and all
associated valves, fittings, etc. to serve the proposed site. None of the four (4) proposed
basins will impact existing wetlands.
A new access road is being extended to serve the proposed basins and one (1) stream and
wetland crossing by that road is the subject of this application. No other impacts to
existing streams or wetlands are proposed. 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
transmission piping installation.

The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) is willing to
accept payment for impacts associated with the above referenced project. Please note that this decision does not assure that
the payment will be approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation for project impacts. It is the responsibility of the
applicant to contact these agencies to determine if payment to the NCEEP will be approved.
This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter and is not transferable. If we have not received a copy of
the issued 404 Permit/401 Certification/CAAIA permit within this time frame, this acceptance will expire. It is the
applicant's responsibility to send copies of the permits to NCEEP. Once NCEEP receives a copy of the permit(s) an invoice
will be issued based on the required mitigation in that permit and payment must be made prior to conducting the authorized
work. The amount of the In Lieu Fee to be paid to NCEEP by an applicant is calculated based upon the Fee Schedule and
policies listed at www.nceep.net.

Upon receipt of payment, EEP will take responsibility for providing the compensatory mitigation. If the regulatory agencies
require mitigation credits greater than indicated above, and the applicant wants NCEEP to be responsible for the additional
mitigation, the applicant will need to submit a mitigation request to NCEEP for approval prior to permit issuance. The
mitigation will be performed in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding between the N. C. Department of
Environment and Natural Resources and the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers dated November 4, 1998.

Dear Mr. Faison:
The Wilmington Regional Office received your application for a Nationwide 39 Permit from the US Army Corps
of Engineers (USACE) and a General 401 Water Quality Certification on June 14, 2006. The wetland impacts
proposed are for the purpose of constructing a road crossing to access high ground for a reclaimed water
application site. You are authorized to permanently impact 0.20 acres of Section 404 Wetlands and 50 feet of a
UT to Pasture Branch under General Water Quality Certification (WQC) #3402 (enclosed). This Certification can
also be found on line at: littp://li2o.eiir.state.nc.us/ticwetlands/certs.html. This Certification allows you to use the
Nationwide 39 Pen-nit when the USACE issues it. Written concurrence from the Division of Water Quality
(DWQ) is not required provided that you can meet all of the conditions of the General 401 Water Quality
Certification.
If at anytime during construction of your project you determine that you cannot meet these conditions or if there
are any additional impacts to wetlands or water quality not described in your application, you must contact
this office immediately.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to call me at (910)-796-7215.
Enclosure: WQC #3402

Dear Mr. Mancoff:

The Town of Swansboro has been issued a Nationwide Permit to grade and fill into
wetlands to widen an existing access path into a permanent access road on their Proposed
Reclaimed Water Disposal Site. This modification was necessary given the Towns design
revision from reclaimed water sprayfield to reclaimed water low rate infiltration disposal.
Riparian Wetlands and an additional length of 24 ft. of existing streambed will be piped/filled as
a result of the access road construction. This project was submitted to NCDENR - Division of
Water Quality and the US Army Corps of Engineers on May 30, 2006. Approximately 0.20
acres of riparian wetlands will be impacted (see attached Nationwide Permit conditions).
Please find attached 11" x 1T' Construction Drawing of the subject project area. I trust
this information is sufficient for your review and acceptance of this project revision • into the
Enhancement Program.
If you should have any questions or require additional information, please cio not hesit&6'
to call.
Respectfully,

Comments: As per our discussion regarding revision of the triage and delegation processes,
please review the attached file. Note that you are the first reviewer, so this file will need to be
reviewed for administrative as well as technical details. If you elect to place this project on hold,
please ask the applicant to provide your requested information to both the Central Office in
Raleigh as well as the Asheville Regional Office. As we discussed, this is an experimental, interim
procedure as we slowly transition to electronic applications. Please apprise me of any
complications you encounter, whether related to workload, processing times, or lack of a "second
reviewer" as the triage process in Central had previously provided. Also, if you think of ways to
improve this process, especially so that we can plan for the electronic applications, let me know.
Thanks!
