The city's proposal at that time was to place the pipe a maximum of 350' into the river beyond the NWL. Recently, the DCM received the attached plats from the city indicating that they now plan to extend the pipe a maximum of 900' into the river beyond the NWL at the same location. It is my understanding that the construction method will remain the same, that is, the pipe will be placed by a hydraulic jet trencher. The DCM would appreciate your comments on this latest proposal.- If you could forward a memorandum to John Parker by 26 June 1992 it would be appreciated so that your comments can be used by the Division in the permit decision making process.

My clients have shown to me a copy of the easement deed dated September 23, 1991 from Charlie F. Harris and wife to the City of Washington that is recorded in Book 946, at Page 23. I trust you are aware that Mr. Harris' deed was made subject to certain easement rights previously existing of record. This letter is to put you on notice that most of the lot owners at Shady Banks have in their deeds a right of ingress and egress to the Pamlico River over the identical lot in which the City of Washington proposes to locate your discharge pipe. These easements originate from Charles Meekins who acquired the property in 1928, caused it to be subdivided and sold off lots. I understand a map of the subdivision partially appears in Map Book 2, at Page 10. My clients have continually used this easement area for both pedestrian and vehicular traffic, to launch boats and generally to enjoy the use of the Pamlico River. They feel that they have a property right in this easement area which Mr. Harris did not have authority to convey to the City of Washington. This letter is to put you on notice of my clients' right and request that the City not do anything that would interfere with their rights of ingress and egress over this property. I would also like to raise the issue with the City regarding the safety of discharging these chemicals into the Pamlico River where a residential beach area exists. It would appear to me that there is some danger in excavating a dragline ditch in the river at this point as well as discharging the concentration of chemicals in a residential area. Mr. Ed Burchins April 27, 1992 Page 2 At any rate, I did wish to put you on notice of these objections. I would appreciate it if you would advise me as to whether the City intends to proceed with the installation of the discharge line over my clients' objections. Very truly yours, ZreT.

Processing of your application is nearing completion and the statutory deadline for such completion or action is near. However, at this writing, not all of the necessary easements for the project alignment have been made a part of this record. This factor alone makes -tbe application "incomplete" and for this, a - "hold" position is necessary. It goes without saying, it is also necessary to protect the review period so as to allow time for staff assessment of the total project. This action is taken under section 74.0204(d) of the Rules of the Coastal Resources Commission. _ In addition to the statutorily required easements, we are also following closely the progress of the NPDES permit.

PROJECT SUMMARY: The applicant is proposing to construct a.water treatment facility with raw water force mains and i user discharge o was ewa er o e Pamlico River. Environmental setting The City of Washington is in the process of upgrading its existing potable water system. The process will include the construction of a 3.0 million gallon per day water treatment facility on a 10.34 acre tract of land east of Washington adjacent to SR 1325. The project will also include the construction of six raw water wells and 6.25 miles of raw water force mains. These force mains will be located within public road right-of-way or on property owned by the city. Also to be constructed are 9.7 miles of potable water distribution mains within public road right-of-ways. The last segment of the project will involve the construction of 3.4 miles of discharge force main which will extend from the treatment facility to the Pamlico River. This segment of the project will also be located on public road right-of-ways or on land owned by the city. In the construction of this water system, development will occur at the following locations which have been determined areas of permit jurisdiction by the N.C. Division of Coastal Management.

Project proposal As previously stated, the project will involve the construction of raw water lines, potable water lines and a discharge line to the Pamlico River. The following will be conducted at each of the above stated sites. Cherry Run - At Cherry Run a 12 inch potable water line will be placed across the creek on the west side of US 17. To place the pipe, a 2' wide by 3' deep by 3.3' long trench will be excavated by a backhoe, or by a clamshell bucket on a dragline. Once the pipe is in place, the trench will be allowed to be filled naturally. Also once the pipe is in place, the disturbed banks will be stabilized with riprap. Herring Run - At Herring Run a 12 inch potable waterline will be placed across the creek, on the north side of SR 1501. To place the pipe, a 5' wide by 3' deep by 35, long trench will be excavated by using a trench jetting method. Once the pipe is in place, the trench will be allowed to be filled naturally. Also once the pipe is in place the disturbed banks will be stabilized with riprap. Broad Creek - At Broad Creek a 12 inch filter wash and softener regeneration discharge line will be placed across the creek on the east side of NC 32. To place the pipe, a 5' wide by 3' deep by 125' long trench will be excavated by using a trench jetting method. Once the pipe is in place, the trench will be allowed to be filled naturally. Also once the pipe is placed the disturbed banks will be stabilized with riprap. Canal to Pamlico River - At the canal to the Pamlico River, a 12 inch filter wash and softener regeneration discharge line will be placed across the canal. To place the pipe, a 5' wide by 3' deep by 45' long trench will be excavated by using'a trench jetting method. Once the pipe is in place, the trench will be allowed to be filled naturally. Also once the pipe is in place the disturbed banks will be stabilized with riprap. The pipe will cross the canal on the east side of SR 1320 within the highway right-of-way. Pamlico River - At the end of SR 1321 an 8 inch filter wash and softener regeneration discharge line will enter the Pamlico River. From the end of SR 1321 a ± 6' wide by ± 2' deep by ± 200' long trench will be excavated on land by either a dragline or a backhoe. This trench may extend as far as ± 10' beyond the NWL of the Pamlico River. From this point the trench will extend another 340' into the Pamlico River. This section of trench will be excavated by a hydraulic jet trencher. Once the pipe is in place the trench will be allowed to be filled naturally. The last 250' of the pipe will be weighted with concrete ballasts. The diffuser portion of the pipe will be the last 1501. This section of pipe will lay on the river bottom in approximately 516" of water. At the end of the pipe a buoy will be placed for recognition. Environmental impact The project as proposed should have a minimal environmental impact. Short term turbidity will occur at all of the crossings during pipe placement. The only wetland vegetation which will be excavated is at the Broad Creek crossing. At this location ± 40 sq.ft. of wetlands will be excavated and then returned to original contour once the pipe is in place. - voGo AS ov? e?e4?`sia to ?e :sa44??car°r `CP?P? .?c.

Attachment 3a, continued on next page. The Broad Creek, Herring Run, and Shady Banks Canal Crossings and the Pamlico River Encroachment will be installed using a hydraulic jet trencher. This type of trenching operation uses a high pressure water jet. A qualified diver uses the water jet to temporarily displace the stream bottom to the required trench depth. The subaqueous pipe is then placed in the stream trench and is covered by the natural siltation and sediment transport processes in the stream. The Cherry Run Crossing will be installed using a clamshell bucket on a dragline or backhoe to excavate the trench. ATTACHMENT 4h There is no zoning in Beaufort County.

ATTACHMENT 6a The purpose of the proposed excavation at the Cherry Run Crossing, identified by CAMA's Washington regional office as a public trust water crossing, is to install below ground 12-inch potable water system piping. All other public trust water piping system crossings or encroachments will be installed using trench jetting methods which temporarily trench the stream bottom to a depth adequate for pipe installation (see profiles on enclosed plan sheets for details). All of the stream trenches, including the excavated Cherry Run Crossing, will be returned to original grade by naturally occurring siltation and sediment transport processes within the streams. Excavated stream banks not below the water surface will be returned to original grade using clean fill material (free of organics). The disturbed banks will be stabilized using rip rap and geo-textile filter fabric.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will survey the site for 404 wetlands prior to any spoil disposal activities. ATTACHMENT 6k - FILL The CHERRY RUN CROSSING (trenched by backhoe excavation) will be returned to original grade by natural siltation and sediment transport processes. The SHORE AT THE PAMLICO RIVER will be trenched using a dragline or backhoe. Excavated material from the trenching activities will be stored temporarily in a local construction easement. The perimeter of the storage area will be surrounded by silt fence. The clean excavated material will be returned to the shore as backfill material once the discharge piping is installed. The remaining 340-feet of discharge piping will be installed under the River bed using a hydraulic jet trencher. The trench will be returned to original grade by the naturally occurring sediment transport processes in the Pamlico River. ATTACHMENT 6q Compliance with the North Carolina erosion and sedimentation control requirements is being ensured through a permit application with the North Carolina Division of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources. Mr. Floyd Williams, NCDEH&NR, Washington, N.C., will coordinate the permit review. ATTACHMENT 7 A minimum amount of excelsior matting and rip rap will be employed for erosion control purposes to stabilize disturbed stream banks. An effort will be made to return the shoreline back to original grade. In no case will the rip rap be installed to extend greater than 2-feet into the stream bed. ?p '.. •?s w' .: ,?„ t?

According to said application, the City proposes to construct a water treatment Facility with raw water force mains and a diffuser discharge of wastewater to the Pamlico River. The five sites are located in Beaufort County. A copy of the entire application and additional information may be examined (or copies furnished upon request and payment of reproduction costs) during nor- mal business hours of the Division of Coastal Management, 1424 Carolina Av- enue, Washington, N.C. and/or the Division of Environmental Management,. 1424 Carolina Avenue, Washington, N.C. The Division of Environmental Management proposes to take final action on this , water quality certification on or before 8 May 1992. The issuance of the CAMA Major Development permit and the Section 401 Certification may deviate from s phis projected date depending upon the nature of the comments submitted and subsequent hearings that may result. All persons desiring to make comments should do so in writing to Mr. Roger Schecter, Director, Division of Coastal Management, P.O.

C. 278$9 April 16, 1992 Dr. George Everette, Director Department of Environmental Management Box 27687 Raleigh, N. C. 27611 Res City of Washington- water quality certification Dear Dr. Everettes It is with a great deal of concern that I write to you about the enlarged copy of the notice which appeared in our local paper. The data submitted for water quality certification was taken from a site very different from the current plans to locate the diffuser discharge of wastewater. The 40 feet of property at Shady Banks used as a public access to the river and the only public beach for body contact water in the area is NOT a good location. This is a highly developed swimming area and the only sandy beach for young swimmers. Four hundred thousand gallons of ANY material is bound to change the water quality 800 feet away. The placement of tie outfa.ll pipe is of utmost concern to a large portion of the population. I urge you to support a State level public meeting so that the views of all may be heard before any permits are granted. As indicated by the map enclosed, the better location and the one selected by the engineers where all the testing .was.done is 2.2 miles East along US 264 to SR 1332 and 2.7 miles due South to the river. This route is within road right of ways with minimal, if any, infringement on public properties.. This would place the `point= of discharge in a. 'larger body of water with Blount's Bay depth offering improved dilution. Also please note the South shore Hills Point and the North Shore Broad Creek Point. These two jutd of land are a strong dividing mark between the slower moving waters of the upper river and the deeper more turbulant waters below. If you feel you must take final action before a state meeting, please, please limit the certification to discharge where tested. j? cc to Bill M lls Sincerely, 9.14twj?v Z441v, 441t./ OVER Sc?h% c dot t v¢. w (r aG?S Iv C z? g QZ-- w< 2a - rzf r a" Lit rF H J? 7°00' K L M 5 : .142 06 5 r '.

Everette, Director of Environmental Management C. 27611 Re: City of Washington- water quality certification Dear Dr. Everette: C. 27859 It is with a great deal of concern that I write to you about the enlarged copy of the notice which appeared in our local paper. The data submitted for water quality certification was taken from a site very different from the current plans to locate the diffuser discharge of wastewater. The 40 feet of property at Shady Banks used as a public access to the river and the only public beach for body contact water in the area is NOT a good location. This is a highly developed. swimming area and the only sandy beach for young swimmers. Four hundred thousand gallons of ANY material is bound to change the water quality 800 feet away. The placement of t'-_e outfall pipe is of utmost concern to a large portion of the population. I urge you to support a State level public meeting so that the views of all may be heard before any permits are granted. As indicated by the map enclosed, the better location and the one selected by the engineers where all the testing was done is 2.2 miles East along US 264 to SR 1332 and 2.7 miles due South to the river. This route is within road right of ways with minimal, if any, infringement on public properties. This would place the point of discharge in a larger body of water with Blou.nt's Bay depth offering improved dilution. Also please note the South shore Hills Point and the North Shore Broad Creek Point. These two jutd of land are a strong dividing mark between the slower moving waters of the upper river and the deeper more turbulant waters below. If you feel you must take final action before a state meeting, please, please limit the certification to discharge where tested. cc to Bill M lls Sincerely, `mow Z661VW414-1 OVER x -It ,4zloz?F?.

Division of Environmental Management North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources Post Office Box 27687 Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687 Dear Mr. Dorney: Enclosed is the application of the City of Washington for Department of the Army authorization and a State Water Quality Certification to construct a water treatment facility with raw water force mains and a wastewater diffuser discharge on Cherry Run, Herring Run, Broad Creek and the Pamlico River, Washington, Beaufort County, North Carolina. Your receipt of this letter verifies your acceptance of a valid request for certification in accordance with Section 325.2(b)(ii) of our administrative regulations. We are considering authorizing the proposed activity pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and we have determined that a water quality certification may be required under the provisions of Section 401 of the same law. A Department of the Army permit will not be granted until the certification has been obtained or waived. In accordance with our administrative regulations, 60 days after receipt of a request for certification is a reasonable time for State action. Therefore, if you have not acted on the request by March 16, 1992, the District Engineer will deem that waiver has occurred. Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Norm Sanders, Washington Field Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone (919) 975-3025.

Action ID. 199200846 Mr. Russell Waters City of Washington Post Office Box 1988 Washington, North Carolina 27889 Dear Mr. Waters: MAY 1 31992 I am responding to Mr. Hood Richardson's letter to Mr. Norm Sanders of our Washington Regulatory Field Office, dated March 10, 1992, regarding the plant- site and access road. 1gton's proposed % ter area - ent .: the proposed site is located off S.R. 1328, near Washington, aart ; County, North Carolina. Mr. Richardson submitted documentation from the U.S. Soil Conservation Service (SCS), verifying the soil conditions at the proposed plant and access road sites. Based upon Mr. Sanders' onsite inspection, as well as information supplied by SCS, the soil conditions did not meet the requirement to be classified as hydric soils, a parameter that must be met to be classified as wetlands. Therefore, no Department of the Army permit is required for the discharge of dredged or fill material onto these sites. This authorization does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain any other required State or local approval. Should you have any additional questions, please contact Mr. Sanders in our Washington Regulatory Field Office,,Post Office Box 1000, Washington, North Carolina 27889, or telephone (919) 975-3025.
