Subject: Neuse Regional Water Treatment Plant
Action ID 200510642 (Lenoir County); DWQ # 05-0453
CDM Project No. 20669-43948-DN.ODC
Dear Mr. Jones:
The Neuse Regional Water and Sewer Authority (WASA) proposes to construct a new 15-million-
gallons-per-day (mgd) water treatment plant southwest of Kinston in Lenoir County. The project
includes construction of an intake structure in the Neuse River to withdraw water from the river
for treatment. A Department of the Army Permit was issued by your office on April 7, 2005 for
the project (Action ID No. 200510642).
As we discussed on the telephone a couple of months ago, we propose to make two minor
modifications to the design of the intake structure on the Neuse River. As we discussed, our
geotechnical engineer has recommended that we add NCDOT Class 2 rip rap to the river bank
above the intake piping to protect the intake pipes and improve stability. We also propose to
extend the dredging limits approximately 20 feet toward the bank (along the intake pipelines).
The total disturbance to the Neuse River (in stream-length) will not change as a result of these
modifications. During our telephone conversation, you did not object to the described changes
but requested a revised site plan for your files.
Enclosed is a revised site plan showing the additional rip rap and dredging (highlighted in
yellow). Please call me at [phone] if you have questions. Thank you for your assistance.
Very truly yours,
Kelly R. Boone, P.E.

NORTH CAROLINA 401 WATER QUALITY CERTIFICATION AND NEUSE RIVER RIPARIAN
BUFFER PROTECTION RULE
THIS CERTIFICATION is issued in conformity with the requirements of Section 401 Public Laws
92-500 and 95-217 of the United States and subject to the North Carolina Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) Regulations in 15 NCAC 21-1, Section .0500 and 15A NCAC 2B Section .0233 to
Neuse Regional Water and Sewer Authority (WASA) of Kinston, NC to fill 160 feet of streams and
dredge 150 feet of the Neuse River in the Neuse River Basin, associated with the construction of
a water intake structure, pump station, water treatment plant and water lines in Lenoir County,
North Carolina, pursuant to an application filed on the 8th day of March of 2005, and in additional
correspondence received March 11, 2005.
The application and supporting documentation provides adequate assurance that the proposed
work will not result in a violation of applicable Water Quality Standards and discharge
guidelines. Therefore, the State of North Carolina certifies that this activity will not violate the
applicable portions of Sections 301, 302, 303, 306,307 of PL 92-500 and PL 95-217 if
conducted in accordance with the application, the supporting documentation, and conditions
hereinafter set forth.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design submitted in the application materials and
as described in the Public Notice. If the project is changed, prior to notification a new
application for a new Certification is required. If the property is sold, the new owner must be
given a copy of the Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying
with all conditions of this Certification. Any new owner must notify the Division and request the
Certification be issued in their name. Should wetland or stream fill be requested in the future,
additional compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6)
and (7). If any plan revisions from the approved site plan result in a change in stream or
wetland impact or an increase in impervious surfaces, the DWQ shall be notified in writing and a
new application for 401 Certification may be required. For this approval to be valid, compliance
with the conditions listed below is required.
Conditions of Certification:
1. Impacts Approved
The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all of the other specific and
general conditions of this Certification are met. No other impacts are approved including
incidental impacts:

installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the
North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion
control measures must be such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements
specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion
Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow
sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow
pits associated with the project.
c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed,
installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the
North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in
accordance with the requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
3. No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian buffers
beyond the footprint of the impacts depicted in the 404/401 Permit Application. All
construction activities, including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of
sediment and erosion control Best Management Practices, shall be performed so that no
violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur;
4. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands, riparian buffers or
waters to the maximum extent practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control
devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural
grade restored within six months of the date that the Division of Land Resources has
released the project;
Continuing Compliance:
5. Neuse Regional Water and Sewer Authority (WASA) shall conduct construction activities
in a manner consistent with State water quality standards (including any requirements
resulting from compliance with section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act) and any other
appropriate requirements of State law and federal law. If the Division determines that
such standards or laws are not being met (including the failure to sustain a designated or
achieved use) or that State or federal law is being violated, or that further conditions are
necessary to assure compliance, the Division may reevaluate and modify this
Certification to include conditions appropriate to assure compliance with such standards
and requirements in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0507(d). Before modifying the
Certification, the Division shall notify and Neuse Regional Water and Sewer Authority
(WASA) and the US Army Corps of Engineers, provide public notice in accordance with
15A NCAC 21-1.0503 and provide opportunity for public hearing in accordance with 15A
NCAC 2H.0504. Any new or revised conditions shall be provided to and Neuse
Regional Water and Sewer Authority (WASA) in writing, shall be provided to the United
States Army Corps of Engineers for reference in any Permit issued pursuant to Section
404 of the Clean Water Act, and shall also become conditions of the 404 Permit for the
project;

All constructed stormwater conveyance outlets from the project site including the water
treatment plant shall be directed and maintained as diffuse flow at non-erosive velocities
through the protected stream buffers such that it will not re-concentrate before
discharging into a stream as identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233 (5). If this is not
possible, it may be necessary to provide stormwater facilities that are considered to
remove nitrogen. This may require additional approval from this Office.
Also, this approval to proceed with your proposed impacts or to conduct impacts to
waters as depicted in your application shall expire upon expiration of the 404 or CAMA
Permit.
If this Certification is unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon
written request within sixty (60) days following receipt of this Certification. This request must be
in the form of a written petition conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General
Statutes and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh,
N.C. 27699-6714. If modifications are made to an original Certification, you have the right to an
adjudicatory hearing on the modifications upon written request within sixty (60) days following
receipt of the Certification. Unless such demands are made, this Certification shall be final and
binding.

RE: Payment for cost of Public Notice

The cost of this Public Notice was $96.84 (see attached copies). According to 15A NCAC 2H

so we can properly track this payment.
If you have any questions, please call me at 919-733-9646. Thank you for your help in
resolving this matter.

Dear Ms. Lashley:
William G. Ross, Jr., Secretary
Alan W. Klimek, P.E., Director
I recently received your letter dated June 8, 2005 concerning the cost of a public
notice for the Division of Water Quality of $96.84 (customer number 07102227). The
Public Notice apparently ran on March 24, 2005 in your paper. Unfortunately your letter
did not provide any information to allow me to determine which project the Public Notice
was made for and therefore I cannot determine whether the bill has been paid. Please
provide a copy of the Public Notice so I can be sure that payment has been made.
I can be reached at 919-733-9646 if you have any questions.
Sincere

Re: Neuse River Regional Water Treatment Plan (DWQ Project # 05-0453)
Dear Ms. Karoly,
Please accept this letter to offer my public comment in reference to the request for
a Water Quality Certification being sought to construct a water treatment plant,
water lines and water intake in the Neuse River near Pot Neck, 7.6 miles SW of
Kinston in Lenoir County.
It has been my pleasure to work with the Neuse Regional Water and Sewer
Authority (WASA) during their efforts to develop this project. Having spent time
reviewing the plans and attending meetings involving members of WASA, and in
one-on-one meetings with the principles of the organization, I feel confident in
their efforts to make the facility a viable operation. They have spent almost seven
(7) years developing and planning for this facility, and I feel they have done an
excellent job in their planning and with their involvement of the communities they
will serve.
Richard Dove At this time, I would like to offer my recommendation that their application for a
RichardGood%in Water Quality Certification be approved by the Division of Water Quality. I look
Mary Ann Harrison forward to my continued relationship with WASA and will be available to assist
David McCracken them in any way possible.

Preconstruction Notification

William G. Ross, Jr., Secretary
Alan W. Klimek, P.E., Director
On March 11, 2005, the Division received seven (7) copies of the Preconstruction
Notification form for the abovementioned project. You propose to use Nationwide Permit 7 and
12 for this project as well as approval under the Neuse River Buffer rules (15A NCAC 213 .0233).
You should be aware that during discussions with the Neuse River Foundation over litigation
concerning the Global TransPark 401 Water Quality Certification, the Division agreed to require
an Individual 401 Certification for any new water withdrawals from the Neuse River. The
proposed project appears to fit that definition. Therefore as allowed in the General Certifications
for Nationwide Permits 7 and 12, DWQ will need to publish a Public Notice for this project once
in a local paper. I will begin this process immediately in order not to further delay this important
project.
Please call me at 733-9646 if you have any questions.

Subject: Neuse Regional Water Treatment Plant
Pre-Construction Notification - Nationwide Permits 7 (GC 3376) & 12 (GC 3374)
CDM Project No. 20669-43948-DN.ODC
Dear Mr. Dorney:
The Neuse Regional Water and Sewer Authority (WASA) proposes to construct a new 15-
million-gallons-per-day (mgd) surface water treatment plant southwest of Kinston in Lenoir
County. Enclosed please find five copies of the Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) form for a
401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) for the project. Coverage under Nationwide (NW)
Permit 7 (GC 3376) is requested for the dredging associated with installing the raw water intake
in the Neuse River, and coverage under NW Permit 12 (GC 3374) is requested for installation of
the intake piping and stream/wetland crossings by the raw water main.
The conditions of the NW permits and DWQ General Certifications will be met, except that pre-
construction contours will not be reestablished at the raw water intake due to the dredging
required. Buffer impacts are considered "exempt" under the Neuse River Buffer Rules. No
more than 40 feet of buffer will be removed for construction of the pipeline crossings.
A check for the application fee is enclosed. Please call me at [phone] if you have questions
related to the project. Thank you for your assistance.
Very truly yours,

Kelly R. Boone, P.E.

III. Project Information
Attach a vicinity map clearly showing the location of the property with respect to local
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.
1. Name of project: Neuse Regional Water Treatment Plant (WTP)
2. T.I.P. Project Number or State Project Number (NCDOT Only):
N/A
3. Property Identification Number (Tax PIN): 3584-50-0536 (raw water intake/pump station
site); 3584-48-2649 (WTP site)
4. Location
County: Lenoir Nearest Town: Pot Neck, 7.6 mi. SW of Kinston
Subdivision name (include phase/lot number): N/A
Directions to site (include road numbers, landmarks, etc.): From Kinston, take US 70 west
toward Falling Creek. Turn left onto SR 1324 (Kennedy Home Road). WTP site is at
southwest corner of Barrus Rd and Kennedy Home Rd. Raw water main follows Kennedy
Home Rd from WTP site approximately 2.5 miles to raw water intake/pump station site just
past Sutton Home Rd (mobile home park).
5. Site coordinates, if available (UTM or Lat/Long): See Attachment B
(Note - If project is linear, such as a road or utility line, attach a sheet that separately lists the
coordinates for each crossing of a distinct waterbody.)
6. Property size (acres): Raw water intake and pump station site is approximately 5 acres;
WTP site is approximately 100 acres
7. Nearest body of water (stream/river/sound/ocean/lake): Neuse River
8. River Basin: Neuse River Basin
(Note - this must be one of North Carolina's seventeen designated major river basins. The
River Basin map is available at http://li2o.enr.statc.ne.us/admin/maps/.)
Page 6 of 13
9. Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project
at the time of this application: The raw water intake/pump station and water treatment plant
sites are currently farmland. The site and the land in the vicinity is within Lenoir County's
Rural zoning district.
10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The project includes construction of a 30-million-gallons-per-day (mgd) raw water
intake structure and raw water pump station at the Neuse River and a 15-mgd conventional
water treatment plant (expandable to 30 mgd in the future) on an upland site. A 42-inch raw
water main will be constricted along Kennedy Home Road to convey water from the raw
water intake site to the water treatment plant.
The raw water pump station will be located on the upland side of the floodway boundary
and 50-foot Neuse River buffer. Two parallel 36-inch ductile iron or steel pipes will extend
from the raw water pump station approximately 85 feet into the Neuse River. Four sets of
wedge-wire screens will be installed at the ends of the pipes. The screen mesh openings will
be 1.0 millimeter, and the screen area will be sized for a maximum flow-through velocity of
0.5 feet per second.
Equipment to be used during construction will include excavators trackhoes dump
tricks, barges, cofferdams, pile-driving equipment and cranes. As recommended by the US
Fish and Wildlife Service during the NEPA review, an in-stream silt curtain weighted at the
bottom will be used during constriction of the raw water intake structure in the Neuse River.
The pipes may be installed by excavation and trenching on the bank or Jack-and=bore or
similar technique. Installation of the intake screens on the ends of the pipes will require
dredging of the river sediment.
11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work:. The project is needed to provide a regional
drinking water supply to Lenoir County. Currently the five water supply systems serving
Lenoir County and several systems in Pitt County use groundwater as their source of
drinking water. The State of NC has adopted regulations (Central Coastal Plan Capacity Use
Area, or CCPCUA, rules) to limit future withdrawals from the Black Creek and Upper Cape
Fear aquifers. Therefore, the Lenoir County and some Pitt County water supply systems
formed the Neuse River Water and Sewer Authority to develop a regional water supply
solution. The new Neuse Regional Water Treatment Plant will treat water withdrawn from
the Neuse River through the new raw water intake structure.
IV. Prior Project History
If jurisdictional determinations and/or permits have been requested and/or obtained for this
project (including all prior phases of the same subdivision) in the past, please explain. Include
the USACE Action ID Number, DWQ Project Number, application date, and date permits and
certifications were issued or withdrawn. Provide photocopies of previously issued permits,
certifications or other useful information. Describe previously approved wetland, stream and
buffer impacts, along with associated mitigation (where applicable). If this is a NCDOT project,
list and describe permits issued for prior segments of the same T.I.P. project, along with
construction schedules.
N/A
Page 7 of 13
V. Future Project Plans
Are any future permit requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work,
and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application.
Future permits will likely be needed for maintenance dredging of the river in front of the raw
water intake structure as is typical with water intakes Coverage may be sought under
Nationwide 3 for maintenance work in the future.
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.
1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: For construction of raw water
intake site, impacts consist of construction of a raw water intake structure and related piping
in the Neuse River. Two 36-inch ductile iron or steel pipes will extend from the north bank
approximately 85 feet into the river. Screens will be attached to the ends of the pipes
Installation of the pipes and screens will require dredging of approximately 635 cubic yards
of river sediment., which will be disposed of off site. For construction of the 42-inch raw
water main along Kennedy Home Road, impacts include 4 subaqueous stream crossings and
one wetland crossing. At one of the stream crossings a culvert will be placed in the stream
to accommodate a 10-ft wide maintenance access road. (This stream is normally dry and
already has a dirt road crossing it without a culvert.) For construction of the water treatment
plant, one wetland area will be crossed with two 12-inch pipes. The stream on site has been
determined to be non-jurisdictional by DWQ (see documentation in Attachment A)

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 10 of 13
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.tic.us/ncwetIands/strmgide.htm1.
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

fficial: girls' school burned down by extremists
He said authorities were
still investigating the. incident
but blamed unnamed extrem-
ists in nearby villages. .
Luddin said that another
tented girls' school was
burned down in aneighboring
district two.weeks ago.
The Abu Sofian school,
which has about 250 students,
will reopen as planned on Sat-
urday. Schools across the
country have been closed
because of hot weather,
The former Taliban regime
prohibited girls from attend-
ing school as part of its drive
to establish a "pure" Islamic
state, before it was ousted by
a U.S.-led military force in
late 2001. There is still opposi-
tion.among some in
Afghanistan's Pashtun ethnic
majority to education for girls.
Taliban remnants and their
allies have recently stepped
up attacks on government tar-
gets -particularly in eastern
and southern Afghanistan -
in an apparent drive to under-
mine the administration of
President Harmid Karzai.
Luddin said that in the past
week, authorities in Logar.
have found 30 fliers - some-
times distributed by different
extremist groups - threaten-
ing anyone who cooperates
with his government.
One letter, claiming to be
from the Taliban, said that the
group was active all over the.
country and did not want
girls'schools. It threatened to
kill anyone who worked with
the government.
Another letter from a group
calling itself Mujahedeen
Message said: "Nobody
should work with the Ameri-
cans: It is an infidel govern- .
ment, whose workings should
die."

NOTICE OF FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT and Final Notice of
Potential Conversion of Important Farmland
The USDA, Rural Utilities Service has received an application for financial assistance from the NEUSE REGIONAL
WATER AND SEWER AUTHORITY.
The proposed project consists of-.
The construction of a new raw water intake (RWI) on the Neuse River upstream of Kinston in western Lenoir County, a
new 22 million gallons per day regional water treatment plant (WTP), and approximately 93 miles of new water transmis-
sion lines throughout Lenoir County, Greene County, and western Pitt County. The project will link 16 existing public
water systems in the three county areas all of which presently rely on groundwater from the Cretaceous aquifers.
Because these aquifers are becoming depleted, the N.C. Environmental Management Commission.adopted the Central
Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area (CCPCUA) plan which requires major users to. gradually reduce their purpping rates by
75 percent over the next 15 years. The proposed project will allow these communities to comply with the CCPCUA plan
by providing an alternative public water supply, and will, support a reasonable level of economic growth.
• The proposed (RWI) structure and pump station site is on the north bank of the Neuse River at Pot Neck, 7.6 miles
southwest of downtown Kinston. It is being designed in consultation.with the N. C. Wildlife Resources Commission
,and U.S. Fish R Wildlife Service to minimize entrainment and impingement of fish, including anadromous fish eggs
and larvae. Anew transmission main will convey raw water to theriew WTP, to be built on a 100 acre tract 1.5 miles
.north of the RWI, locally known as West Parrott Farm. A40 million gallon upland reservoir-adjacent to the WTP will
provide two days of raw water storage for the initial WTP capacity, and space will be reserved for a second 40 million
gallon reservoir to be built when needed.
• Two new potable water transmission mains will connect the WTP to existing local water distribution systems; one.run-
ningenorth and eastward along roadsides from the WTP to serve. Kinston, Global TransPark (GTP), and other:commu-
nities in northem Lenoir County, Greene County and Pitt County, .and the second line will run southeastward along a
power, line right-of=way to serve Pink Hill, Deep Run, and other communities in southern Lenoir County.
• Assuring reliable flows, pressure, and water quality throughout the three-county water systems will require seven new
-elevated water tanks and ten booster pump stations. All 93 miles of new transmission lines within and between the .
participating communities are intended to connect existing systems only. The majority of new waterlines (87 miles)
will be installed along roadsides, generally within the maintained road right-of-way, and the remaining 6 miles Will be
off-road in new right-of-way. All off-road transmission lines were designed to parallel existing utility rights-of-way or
private roads, minimizing the need for new land disturbance. The elevated tanks and booster pump stations are also
sited on previously disturbed land along roadside whereverpossible.
Rural Development has assessed the environmental impacts of this proposed project and determined that if imple-
mented, the proposed project will permanently convert approximately 100 acres of important farmlands to public utility
industrial use. There is no practicable alternative to the conversion of some important farmland at the Water Treatment
Plant site and possibly the elevated tanks and booster pumps sites.
As required by the National Environmental Policy Act, the Rural Utilities Service has assessed the potential environ-
mental effects of the. proposed project and has determined that the:proposal will not have a significant effect on the
human environment and for which an Environment Impact Statement will not be prepared. The basis of this determina-
tion is a thorough review and analysis of the environmental Information reported in the environmental assessment-pre-
pared on April 3, 2003, amended on May 6, 2003 and June 24, 2003 and public and regulatory agencies' comments
regarding the proposed project. This review also included a supplement to the Environmental Report in Section 4.2 and
responses to questions from the N.C. Clearinghouse. In order to avoid or minimize any adverse environmental impacts
the Rural Utilities Service will require the applicant to incorporate the following mitigation measures into the proposed
project's design: Mitigation measures have been carefully considered. The potential impacts to wetlands will be miti-
gated through design and construction of the project in accordance with the provisions of Nationwide Permit 12 and
through the US Army Corps of Engineers' Section 404 (Clean Water Act) permitting process and North Carolina General
Certification 3374 and through the NC Division of Water Quality's Section 401 permitting process. Local governments'
regulatory policies already in use will adequately serve to protect many other environmental resources from potential
indirect impacts that could otherwise arise from this project. A summary of these measure include:

indirect impacts that could otherwise arise from this project Asummary of these measure include:
1. Mitigation of adverse direct impacts by avoidance and minimization are achieved through project design, construc-
tion and operation methods. The majority of new construction will be in previously disturbed areas (fields), along
roadsides or parallel to existing utility lines. Many potential impacts have thus been reduced to minimal levels.
USDA will require that all necessary State and Federal permits be obtained prior to bidding the project
2. Potential entrainment and impingement of fishes at the water intake will be minimized by. following USFWS &
NCWRC guidelines for anadromous fishes: the intake screen mesh will be 1.0 mm and flow velocity at the screens
will not exceed.5 feet per second at full pumping capacity.
3. The potential for impact to cultural resources has been minimized by routing water lines and other facilities along
roadsides and.on previously disturbed land. An archaeological survey will be completed prior to construction as
requested by the State Historical Preservation Office. Any needed mitigation will be approved by SHPO before the
project is bid.
4. Regarding directional drilling, the applicant and their consulting engineer will coordinate with the appropriate State
and Federal agencies, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and N.C.-DWQ prior to bidding to determine which crossing
will truly benefit from directional drilling and which ones have negligible Habitat Value and could be crossed by open
trenching without significant ecological risk.

FONSI - Neuse Regional Water and Sewer Authority, Lenoir Countv
September 5, 2003
This letter is in response to the above EA/FONSI and the attached comments from our
review agencies. This could become a complex project due to the number of state and
federal permits being required and the coordination needed among the 17 units of local
government that will be supplied with surface water by the new intake. A project of this
importance raises issues that may hold the permitting process up at some point, due to the
fact that concerns still exist. The ability to deal effectively with the concerns raised is a
very important part of the decision-making process. The commitments put forth by the
Authority in implementing measures that will further protect the resources in this area
and to continue to consult with agencies enhances the success of this project.
At this point, the department has no objections to the funding of this project. We
reiterate the importance of avoidance and minimization and encourage working with
State and Federal agencies in implementing any additional measures that may be required
to offset project impacts.
Thank you for the opportunity to review.

Improvements; Lenoir, Greene, and Pitt Counties, North Carolina. Project
Number 04-0046.
We appreciate the quality of responses to our comments, especially the commitments in
the Draft Statement of intent to Facilitate Water Resource Protection and Environmental
Planning, but we do request clarification of a couple items:
1) Regarding our request for support for a minirrn,m flow of 500 to 600 cfs at Clayton, if
Dr. Wilson Laney of the US Fish & Wildlife Service is being consulted a$ the authority
on this issue, what is his recommendation?
2) The responses clarify that NRWASA and its participating water systems are planning
to use groundwater and of stream storage to mitigate excessive river withdrawals
during droughts. We think this a good and necessary strategy. In this context, a
definition of drought is needed and we recommended that flows below 300 efs at
Kinston be aged. Will flows below 300 efs at Kinston be used as the threshold for
switching to groundwater and off stream storage?
Provided these last concerns are adequately addressed, we will concur with the EA.
Thank you for the opportunity to further comment. If you have questiow, please call Bennett

John N. Morris, Director
The Division of Water Resources has reviewed the Environmental Assessment for the Neuse River
intake, water treatment plant, and water transmission mains proposed by the Neuse River Water and
Sewer Authority (NRW&SA) and submits the following comments:
1. The following comments refer to the scoping comments previously provided by DWR:
a. Scoping Comment #2 - Pages 64 to 72 of the EA deal with water conservation ordinances
for Griffon and Ayden. What is the status of water conservation ordinances for the other 15
systems?
b. Scoping comment #3 - We recommended that the applicant consult with DWQ regarding
potential concerns about reduced flows for assimilative capacity. This topic is briefly
mentioned on page 38 of the EA, but there is no reference to any consultation with DWQ or
conclusions one way or the other about reduced 7Q10 flows and assimilative capacity. The
EA does mention that Falls Reservoir might have to operate differently in the future to
accommodate downstream withdrawals and discharges. The EA should indicate that this
change in operating policy would likely require a Section 216 study by the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers and approval by the United States Congress.
c. Scoping comment 94 - We had asked that the EA describe how the portion of water
withdrawn from the Neuse that would be returned as treated wastewater would change over
time. This is only briefly mentioned on page 37 and no quantities over time are given.
d. Scoping comment #5 - We had requested that the EA itemize how much of the new surface
water withdrawal would be to offset mandated reductions in groundwater withdrawals and
how much would be to accommodate new demands. This is discussed in general terms on
pages 10 and 11. However, it would be much clearer to provide a table listing the various

users of water, their existing groundwater use, their future allowed groundwater use, the
shortfall to be made up from the Neuse, and the additional portion of the Neuse withdrawal
to accommodate new growth - with separate itemized quantities for each connected system.
2. The transfer of surface water from one river basin to another is subject to North Carolina General
Statute 143-215.22I, Regulation of Surface Water Transfers. The EA should include a table and
an accompaning figure that show projected interbasin transfers of surface water over time from
the Neuse River Basin to other river basins and recognized sub-basins. The text should indicate
when the interbasin transfer threshold of 2 million gallons per day is projected to be equaled or
exceeded into any one basin or sub-basin. Whoever owns the transmission lines that cross over
the river basin or sub-basin boundaries will be required to obtain IBT certificates from the
Environmental Management Commission prior to the time that the amount of the transfers to any
one basin or sub-basin equal or exceed 2 million gallons per day. Please contact Tom Fransen at
919-715-0381 if you have questions about this matter.
3. Please note that the 17 units of local government that will be supplied with surface water by this
new Neuse River intake should reflect this new source of water in their local water supply plans
prior to their obtaining water from this new source. Please contact Linwood Peele at 919-715-

SUBJECT: Clearinghouse Review
Project No. 01-0724
Neuse River Water and Sewer Authority, Lenoir County
The Division of Water Resources has reviewed the Clearinghouse Scoping Document for the Neuse River
intake, water treatment plant, and water transmission mains proposed by the Neuse River Water and Sewer
Authority (NRW&SA) and submits the following comments:
(1) The water systems in the NRW&SA are facing reductions in their existing ground water supply of up to
75 percent under the Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area rules recently adopted by the
Environmental Management Commission. This regional Neuse River intake is a viable alternative
water supply that is capable of offsetting these reductions in their existing ground water supply and
providing for future economic growth.
(2) Conservation will be a mandatory requirement of the capacity use withdrawal permits to ensure the most
efficient use of water resources in the area. The EA should address planned water conservation
activities to ensure efficient water use and also reuse opportunities for reclaimed water.
(3) The Division of Water Resources' "20 percent of 7Q 10 low-flow" screening tool for instream flow
studies only addresses physical aquatic habitat-it is not intended to address potential water quality
impacts. The applicant needs to consult with the Division of Water Quality for a decision regarding the
need for any additional water quality modeling.
(4) The EA should estimate (over time) what portion of the river withdrawals will be returned to the Neuse
River as treated wastewater.
(5) The EA needs to identify that portion of the project needed to offset required reductions in ground water
pumping versus that portion intended to provide for future economic development. Secondary and
cumulative impacts will need to be addressed for that portion of the project intended to provide for
future growth. In particular, the EA should describe what land use planning measures are in place to
mitigate the impacts of growth and land use changes, such as local plans and ordinances to preserve
open space, stream buffers, high quality farm land, natural areas, wildlife corridors, etc.
If you have questions regarding these continents, please call Tony Young at [phone].

REFERENCE #: 04-0003
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NHP) has reviewed the responses of the Neuse
Regional Water and Sewer Authority (NRWASA) to the questions/issues raised by state agencies
in review of the submitted EA. NHP is impressed with the commitment of NRWASA to
facilitate water resource protection and environmental planning.
Upon review of the responses to agency comments. NHP would like to emphasize how important
adequate in-stream flow is for aquatic species of concern in the project area, especially during
low flow and drought conditions. In addition, we would like to reiterate that it is crucial that~
cumulative and secondary impacts be addressed at the outset of the project. As long as
NRWASA upholds actions proposed in its "Draft Statement of Intent," NHP concurs with a
finding of no significant impact (FONSI) for this project.
Please let me know if I can provide more information as the project evolves. The North Carolina
Natural Heritage Program looks forward to a collaborative effort to help protect the State's

Derr Mr. Hopper:
We recommend drat a comprehensive survey be conducted by an experienced archaeologist to
identi>4,, and evaluate the significance of archaeological remains that may be damaged or
destroyed by the proposed project. Potential effects on unknown resources must be assessed
prior to the initiation of construction activities. All undeveloped areas of the projecr should be
surveyed. Supply lines within established Department of Transportation right-of-ways may be
eliminated from consideration. We wish to note that the CD format of your submission
considerably complicated our review process. While this format obviously minirrizes your
costs, our computers are not powerful enough to properly handle the data. These tecLical
problems delayed our review.
Two copies of the resulting archaeological survey report, as well as ene copy of --he
appropriate site forms, should be forwarded to us for review and comr_lent as soon as they are
available and well in advance of any construction activities.
A list of archaeological consultants who have conducted or expressed an interest in contract
work in North Carolina is available at ,v-ww.arch.dcr.scare. nc.us /consults. The archaeologists
listed, or anv other experienced archaeologist, may be contacted to conduct the recommended
survey.
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with
Section 106 codified at 36 CFR Pan 800.
