REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Sir or Madam::
On September 25, 2006, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your proposal to place a
conservation easement on 20.0 acres of existing wetlands adjacent to the Meherrin River in order
to mitigate 1.969 acres of permanent wetlands fill at the subject property. The DWQ has
determined that your response to our previous request of March 9, 2006 was inadequate 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
five copies of the additional information requested below, we will have to move toward denial of
your application as required by 15A NCAC 2H.0506 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.
Additional Information Requested:
1. Wetland Mitigation - Please note that your wetland mitigation plan must include a
minimum of a 1:1 restoration and/or creation component for 1.969 acres of impacts in
accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0506(h)(6). If you decide to propose use of the North
Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program in lieu of developing your own wetland
mitigation plan, you will need to acquire written confirmation from the EEP that they will
accept the project. You should note that mitigation requirements proposed to be
mitigated through the EEP must be rounded to the nearest quarter acre increment
according to 15 2r.0503(b).

Re: Mitigation Plan for Impacts of Murfreesboro Wastewater Treatment Facilities
Dear Ms. Wheeler:
Following discussions with your office, the Town of Murfreesboro is proposing to utilize the
Corps' model restrictive covenants to place perpetual protection on an area encompassing 20.0 acres of
forested wetlands adjacent to the Meherrin River on the Wastewater Treatment Plant site. This area has
been shown on the latest survey plat submitted to you by our consultant, Environmental Professionals,
Inc. of Kill Devil Hills, NC. This area is offered for perpetual protection as mitigation for the filling of
1.969 acres of existing wetlands where a new wastewater storage lagoon is proposed.
The Town of Murfreesboro is requesting that the Corps utilize the previously submitted map
and the enclosed additional information for purposes of continuing its permitting review of the project.
We have enclosed a copy of the proposed deed that would be recorded to protect the 20-acre area in
perpetuity.
The Town of Murfreesboro considered alternatives for the location of the storage lagoon before
applying to use the area that includes the 1.969 acres of wetlands. The Town already owns the area
proposed for the location of the storage lagoon. The storage lagoon is proposed to be constructed in an
area approximately 1200 feet by 750 feet or about 21 acres. There is not another 21 acre area on the
lands owned by the Town that is not be utilized for other parts of the treatment facilities (irrigation
areas) or does not also impact wetlands. Purchasing another site for the lagoon would require between
30 and 70 acres of land due to the buffers from property lines and houses required by the NC Division
of Water Quality. At $2000 per acre, this cost would be $60,000 to $140,000 for the additional land
only. Construction of the storage lagoon on another site would require a pump station to pump the
wastewater to that site and a second pump station to pump it back to the existing irrigation pump
station or a second irrigation pump station. Piping to and from the second site would also be required.
At $50,000 each for the pump stations and $20 per foot for 10,000 feet of pipe (5000 feet each way),
the added cost for pumping and piping is $300,000. The total added cost for locating the lagoon on a
second site would be $360,000 to $440,000. This amount is saved by the proposed project.
Ms. Tracey L. Wheeler
September 21, 2006
Page 2
Since April of 2003, the Town has been under a moratorium imposed by the NC Division of
Water Quality prohibiting any additional connections to the Town sewer system until the wastewater
treatment facilities are expanded to accommodate additional flow. The Town has put two previously
permitted subdivisions on hold and has others who want to connect new development to the system.
Any growth in the Town has been stopped until the sewer moratorium is lifted. We feel that the
approval of our plan to construct the storage lagoon is crucial to our wastewater treatment facilities
improvements. The Town has signed a Special Order by Consent (SOC) with the Division of Water
Quality allowing us time to make the improvements before additional fines are levied. A fine of $4000
was paid when the SOC was signed. It is imperative that we move forward with our project as soon as
possible.
We appreciate the Corps' willingness to consider this request. Please contact me if you wish to
discuss the project further or meet with you on site to verify the additional wetlands delineation.
Sincerely,
George FinchBoney and Associates, P.A.

AGENT (if applicable): N/A
Authority
The Corps will evaluate this application and a decide whether to issue, conditionally
issue, or deny the proposed work pursuant to applicable procedures pursuant to Section
404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344).
Location
The project area is a 1.74 acre portion of a 291 acre tract located on the northwest side of
the Meherrin River on the east side of North Carolina Highway 258 north of
Murfreesboro in Hertford County, North Carolina (36.451375 -77.077341)
Existing Site Conditions
The property is the site of the existing wastewater treatment plant for the Town of
Murfreesboro. It currently houses two treatment lagoons, spray fields and a small
mechanical building.

Applicant's Stated Purpose
The purpose of the project is to provide wastewater treatment capacity to meet
requirements and regulations of the North Carolina Division of Water Quality. The
existing facility is permitted as a nondischarge facility and existing storage lagoons and
irrigation fields are not adequate to process the Town's wastewater.
Project Description
The applicant proposes to place fill in 1.969 acres of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
jurisdictional wetlands to construct an additional 15 acre storage lagoon.
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
receipt of the application and this public notice in the NCDWQ Central Office in Raleigh
serves as application to the NCDWQ for certification. A waiver will be deemed to occur
if the NCDWQ fails to act on this request for certification within sixty days of the date of
the receipt of this notice in the NCDWQ Central Office. Additional information
regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be reviewed at the NCDWQ Central
Office, 401 Oversight and Express Permits Unit (for NCDOT projects, the Transportation
Permitting Unit), 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 delivered to the North
Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ), 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh,
North Carolina 27699-1650 Attention: Mr. John Hennessy (NC Department of
Transportation projects) or Ms Cyndi Karoly (all other projects) by February 23, 2006.
The applicant has not provided to the Corps, a certification statement that his/her
proposed activity complies with and will be conducted in a manner that is consistent with
the approved North Carolina Coastal Zone Management Program. Pursuant to 33 CFR
325.2(b)(2), the Corps can not issue a permit for the proposed work until the applicant
submits such a certification to the Corps and the North Carolina Division of Coastal
Management (NCDCM), and the NCDCM notifies the Corps that it concurs with the
applicant's consistency certification.

Essential Fish Habitat
This notice initiates the Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) consultation requirements of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. The Corps' initial
determination is that the proposed project will not adversely impact EFH or associated
fisheries managed by the South Atlantic or Mid Atlantic Fishery Management Councils
or the National Marine Fisheries Service.
Cultural Resources
The Corps has consulted the latest published version of the National Register of Historic
Places and is not aware that any registered properties, or properties listed as being
eligible for inclusion therein are located within the project area or will be affected by the
proposed work. Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistoric, or historical
data may be located within the project area and/or could be affected by the proposed
work.
Endangered Species
The Corps has reviewed the project area, examined all information provided by the
applicant and consulted the latest North Carolina Natural Heritage Database. Based on
available information, the Corps has determined pursuant to the Endangered Species Act
of 1973, that the proposed project will have no effect on federally listed endangered or
threatened species or their formally designated critical habitat.
Evaluation
The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of the probable
impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity on the public interest.
That decision will reflect the national concern for both protection and utilization of
important resources. The benefit which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the
proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. All factors
which may be relevant to the proposal will be considered including the cumulative effects
thereof; among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general environmental
concerns, wetlands, historic properties, fish and wildlife values, flood hazards, flood plain
values (in accordance with Executive Order 11988), land use, navigation, shoreline
erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy
needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of property
ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. For activities involving
the discharge of dredged or fill materials in waters of the United States, the evaluation of
the impact of the activity on the public interest will include application of the
Environmental Protection Agency's 404(b)(1) guidelines.
Commenting Information
The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; Federal, State and local

APPLICATION FOR DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY PERMIT
TOWN OF MURFREESBORO NC
WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITIES EXPANSION
SUPPLEMENT TO PERMIT APPLICATION
BLOCK 18. Nature of Activity
The activity proposed by the Town of Murfreesboro is to expand their wastewater
treatment facilities. The improvements include a 15 acre storage lagoon and some 56
acres of additional irrigation fields. The storage lagoon will be constructed adjacent to the
existing treatment lagoons, which were constructed in 1962. Construction of the new
storage lagoon will require the discharge of fill material into 85,767 square feet (1.969
acres) of jurisdictional channels and wetlands. The new irrigation areas will be
constructed with no impacts to wetlands.
BLOCKI9. Project Purpose
The purpose of the project is to provide additional wastewater treatment capacity-
for the Town in order to meet the requirements and regulations of the N.C. Division of
Water Quality. The Town's existing wastewater treatment facility is permitted by the
Division of Water Quality as a non-discharge facility. The existing irrigation fields no
longer have the capacity to process the wastewater load from the Town, and the Town
has been fined and ordered to upgrade their facilities to accommodate the increased
flows.
BLOCK 20. Reason(s) for discharge
The purpose of the fill material to be placed in wetlands is for the construction of
the new wastewater storage lagoon. The lagoon is being located as it is in order to
minimize the cost of construction and to allow it to operate with the existing facilities
efficiently. One side of the new lagoon will be a common dike with the second treatment
lagoon, saving the cost of some 500 linear feet of lagoon dike. The new lagoon will be
deeper than the existing lagoons, requiring a pump station to pump the stored wastewater
back into the existing second lagoon prior to irrigation through the existing irrigation
pump station. Without the new pump station, the bottom elevation would have had to be
raised to elevation 12.0 to match the existing lagoons. This would have required 5 more
feet of fill over the entire 13 acre bottom area of new lagoon. Constructed this way, the
new lagoon would have been much larger and required even more wetland fill area.
Relocation of the lagoon would have been more costly. A common dike would
not have been available on any other side, so more fill would have been required. It
would have had to be located away from the existing lagoons, so pumping and piping
costs would have been higher as well. All costs associated with the project will be borne
by the users of the Murfreesboro sewer system through user charges.
. r
BLOCK 22. Surface Area in Acres of Wetlands or Other Waters Filled
Impact Area 1- Wetland "D" -1.467 acres - This area is all of wetland "D" as
shown on the attached maps. This area is entirely within the perimeter of the new
proposed storage lagoon and is surrounded by upland areas. It is hydrologically
connected to wetland "B" (Impact Area 3) by an existing dug channel (Impact Area 2).
The organic soil within the wetland will be excavated and stockpiled on an upland area of
the site and dried for use in the final layer of fill for the lagoon dikes. Silt fence will be
used to contain the material within the stockpile area. Fill material from upland areas will
be hauled to the excavated area and pushed into the excavation with bulldozers and/or
motor graders. Material will be added to raise the entire area to elevation 7.0, the bottom
elevation of the proposed storage lagoon.
Impact Area 2 - Channel "D-E" - 0.028 acres (top of bank to top of bank - This
channel is 111 linear feet and is entirely within the perimeter of the new proposed storage
lagoon. It is entirely surrounded by upland areas. It is the hydrologic connection between
wetlands "D" and "E". The organic soil within the channel will be excavated and
stockpiled on an upland area of the site and dried for use in the final layer of fill for the
lagoon dikes. Silt fence will be used to contain the material within the stockpile area. Fill
material from upland areas will be hauled to the excavated area and pushed into the
excavation with bulldozers and/or motor graders. Material will be added to raise the
entire area to elevation 7.0, the bottom elevation of the proposed storage lagoon.
Impact Area 3 - Wetland "B" - 0.474 acres - This area is the western portion of
wetland "E" as shown on the attached maps. This area is partly within the perimeter of
the new proposed storage lagoon, partly under the dike and the remainder is outside the
dike perimeter. The filled area outside the dike is necessary for the construction of an
access driveway to the south side of the lagoon and to insure a stable base for the lagoon
dike. It is hydrologically connected to wetland "F" along the Meherrin River by an
existing dug channel to the east. The organic soil within the wetland will be excavated
and stockpiled on an upland area of the site and dried for use in the final layer of fill for
the lagoon dikes. Silt fence will be used to contain the material within the stockpile area.
Fill material from upland areas will be hauled to the excavated area and pushed into the
excavation with bulldozers and/or motor graders. Material will be added to raise the
entire area to elevation 7.0, the bottom elevation of the proposed storage lagoon. In the
area where the new dike will be constructed, additional fill material will be added to
construct the dike up to elevation 20.0.

APPLICATION FOR DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY PERMIT
TOWN OF MURFREESBORO NC
WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITIES EXPANSION
SUPPLEMENT TO PERMIT APPLICATION
BLOCK 18. Nature of Activity
The activity proposed by the Town of Murfreesboro is to expand their wastewater
treatment facilities. The improvements include a 15 acre storage lagoon and some 56
acres of additional irrigation fields. The storage lagoon will be constructed adjacent to the
existing treatment lagoons, which were constructed in 1962. Construction of the new
storage lagoon will require the discharge of fill material into 85,767 square feet (1.969
acres) of jurisdictional channels and wetlands. The new irrigation areas will be
constructed with no impacts to wetlands.
BLOCKI9. Project Purpose
The purpose of the project is to provide additional wastewater treatment capacity
for the Town in order to meet the requirements and regulations of the N.C. Division of
Water Quality. The Town's existing wastewater treatment facility is permitted by the
Division of Water Quality as a non-discharge facility. The existing irrigation fields no
longer have the capacity to process the wastewater load from the Town, and the Town
has been fined and ordered to upgrade their facilities to accommodate the increased
flows.
BLOCK 20. Reason(s) for discharge
The purpose of the fill material to be placed in wetlands is for the construction of
the new wastewater storage lagoon. The lagoon is being located as it is in order to
minimize the cost of construction and to allow it to operate with the existing facilities
efficiently. One side of the new lagoon will be a common dike with the second treatment
lagoon, saving the cost of some 500 linear feet of lagoon dike. The new lagoon will be
deeper than the existing lagoons, requiring a pump station to pump the stored wastewater
back into the existing second lagoon prior to irrigation through the existing irrigation
pump station. Without the new pump station, the bottom elevation would have had to be
raised to elevation 12.0 to match the existing lagoons. This would have required 5 more
feet of fill over the entire 13 acre bottom area of new lagoon. Constructed this way, the
new lagoon would have been much larger and required even more wetland fill area.
Relocation of the lagoon would have been more costly. A common dike would
not have been available on any other side, so more fill would have been required. It
would have had to be located away from the existing lagoons, so pumping and piping
costs would have been higher as well. All costs associated with the project will be borne
by the users of the Murfreesboro sewer system through user charges.
BLOCK 22. Surface Area in Acres of Wetlands or Other Waters Filled
Impact Area 1 - Wetland "D" -1.467 acres - This area is all of wetland "D" as
shown on the attached maps. This area is entirely within the perimeter of the new
proposed storage lagoon and is surrounded by upland areas. It is hydrologically
connected to wetland "E" (Impact Area 3) by an existing dug channel (Impact Area 2).
The organic soil within the wetland will be excavated and stockpiled on an upland area of
the site and dried for use in the final layer of fill for the lagoon dikes. Silt fence will be
used to contain the material within the stockpile area. Fill material from upland areas will
be hauled to the excavated area and pushed into the excavation with bulldozers and/or
motor graders. Material will be added to raise the entire area to elevation 7.0, the bottom
elevation of the proposed storage lagoon.
Impact Area 2 - Channel "D-E" - 0.028 acres (top of bank to top of bank - This
channel is 111 linear feet and is entirely within the perimeter of the new proposed storage
lagoon. It is entirely surrounded by upland areas. It is the hydrologic connection between
wetlands "D" and "E". The organic soil within the channel will be excavated and
stockpiled on an upland area of the site and dried for use in the final layer of fill for the
lagoon dikes. Silt fence will b6 used to contain the material within the stockpile area. Fill
material from upland areas will be hauled to the excavated area and pushed into the
excavation with bulldozers and/or motor graders. Material will be added to raise the
entire area to elevation 7.0, the bottom elevation of the proposed storage lagoon.
Impact Area 3 - Wetland "E" - 0.474 acres - This area is the western portion of
wetland "E" as shown on the attached maps. This area is partly within the perimeter of
the new proposed storage lagoon, partly under the dike and the remainder is outside the
dike perimeter. The filled area outside the dike is necessary for the construction of an
access driveway to the south side of the lagoon and to insure a stable base for the lagoon
dike. It is hydrologically connected to wetland "F" along the Meherrin River by an
existing dug channel to the east. The organic soil within the wetland will be excavated
and stockpiled on an upland area of the site and dried for use in the final layer of fill for
the lagoon dikes. Silt fence will be used to contain the material within the stockpile area.
Fill material from upland areas will be hauled to the excavated area and pushed into the
excavation with bulldozers and/or motor graders. Material will be added to raise the
entire area to elevation 7.0, the bottom elevation of the proposed storage lagoon. In the
area where the new dike will be constructed, additional fill material will be added to
construct the dike up to elevation 20.0.

APPLICATION FOR DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY PERMIT
TOWN OF MURFREESBORO NC
WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITIES EXPANSION
SUPPLEMENT TO PERMIT APPLICATION
BLOCK 18. Nature of Activity
The activity proposed by the Town of Murfreesboro is to expand their wastewater
treatment facilities. The improvements include a 15 acre storage lagoon and some 56
acres of additional irrigation fields. The storage lagoon will be constructed adjacent to the
existing treatment lagoons, which were constructed in 1962. Construction of the new
storage lagoon will require the discharge of fill material into 85,767 square feet (1.969
acres) of jurisdictional channels and wetlands. The new irrigation areas will be
constructed with no impacts to wetlands.
BLOCKI9. Project Purpose
The purpose of the project is to provide additional wastewater treatment capacity
for the Town in order to meet the requirements and regulations of the N.C. Division of
Water Quality. The Town's existing wastewater treatment facility is permitted by the
Division of Water Quality as a non-discharge facility. The existing irrigation fields no
longer have the capacity to process the wastewater load from the Town, and the Town
has been fined and ordered to upgrade their facilities to accommodate the increased
flows.
BLOCK 20. Reason(s) for discharge
The purpose of the fill material to be placed in wetlands is for the construction of
the new wastewater storage lagoon. The lagoon is being located as it is in order to
minimize the cost of construction and to allow it to operate with the existing facilities
efficiently. One side of the new lagoon will be a common dike with the second treatment
lagoon, saving the cost of some 500 linear feet of lagoon dike. The new lagoon will be
deeper than the existing lagoons, requiring a pump station to pump the stored wastewater
back into the existing second lagoon prior to irrigation through the existing irrigation
pump station. Without the new pump station, the bottom elevation would have had to be
raised to elevation 12.0 to match the existing lagoons. This would have required 5 more
feet of fill over the entire 13 acre bottom area of new lagoon. Constructed this way, the
new lagoon would have been much larger and required even more wetland fill area.
Relocation of the lagoon would have been more costly. A common dike would
not have been available on any other side, so more fill would have been required. It
would have had to be located away from the existing lagoons, so pumping and piping
costs would have been higher as well. All costs associated with the project will be borne
by the users of the Murfreesboro sewer system through user charges.
I?
BLOCK 22. Surface Area in Acres of Wetlands or Other Waters Filled
Impact Area 1 - Wetland "D" -1.467 acres - This area is all of wetland "D" as
shown on the attached maps. This area is entirely within the perimeter of the new
proposed storage lagoon and is surrounded by upland areas. It is hydrologically
connected to wetland "E" (Impact Area 3) by an existing dug channel (Impact Area 2).
The organic soil within the wetland will be excavated and stockpiled on an upland area of
the site and dried for use in the final layer of fill for the lagoon dikes. Silt fence will be
used to contain the material within the stockpile area. Fill material from upland areas will
be hauled to the excavated area and pushed into the excavation with bulldozers and/or
motor graders. Material will be added to raise the entire area to elevation 7.0, the bottom
elevation of the proposed storage lagoon. _
Impact Area 2 - Channel "D-E" - 0.028 acres (top of bank to top of bank - This
channel is 111 linear feet and is entirely within the perimeter of the new proposed storage
lagoon. It is entirely surrounded by upland areas. It is the hydrologic connection between
wetlands "D" and "E". The organic soil within the channel will be excavated and
stockpiled on an upland area of the site and dried for use in the final layer of fill for the
lagoon dikes. Silt fence will be used to contain the material within the stockpile area. Fill
material from upland areas will be hauled to the excavated area and pushed into the
excavation with bulldozers and/or motor graders. Material will be added to raise the
entire area to elevation 7.0, the bottom elevation of the proposed storage lagoon.
Impact Area 3 - Wetland "E" - 0.474 acres - This area is the western portion of
wetland "E" as shown on the attached maps. This area is partly within the perimeter of
the new proposed storage lagoon, partly under the dike and the remainder is outside the
dike perimeter. The filled area outside the dike is necessary for the construction of an
access driveway to the south side of the lagoon and to insure a stable base for the lagoon
dike. It is hydrologically connected to wetland "F" along the Meherrin River by an
existing dug channel to the east. The organic soil within the wetland will be excavated
and stockpiled on an upland area of the site and dried for use in the final layer of fill for
the lagoon dikes. Silt fence will be used to contain the material within the stockpile area.
Fill material from upland areas will be hauled to the excavated area and pushed into the
excavation with bulldozers and/or motor graders. Material will be added to raise the
entire area to elevation 7.0, the bottom elevation of the proposed storage lagoon. In the
area where the new dike will be constructed, additional fill material will be added to
construct the dike up to elevation 20.0.

Item 1. Mitigation - A copy of a letter to Tracey L. Wheeler of the Corps of Engineers is
enclosed, outlining our mitigation plan.
Item 2. Groundwater - The new storage pond is designed with a 60 mil thick HDPE plastic
liner. This liner is approved by the Division of Water Quality for lining wastewater treatment

know.
Sincerely,
