MSTORY OF CARTHAGE WATER SUPPLY PROJECT
Prior to our October 23, 2003 meeting on' the above referenced project and on behalf of
the Town of Carthage, I would like to offer a brief history of this project in order for all
parties to understand the issues that the Town has faced as they worked diligently to
provide a safe water supply for their customers during the 2002 Drought event.
Carthage currently operates a new 1.0 mgd microfiltration water treatment facility to
provide water for its citizens. The facility is supplied by surface waxer from Nicks Creek
and a Town reservoir pond at the treatment plant site. The pond has a limited drainage
basin and is primarily a pre-settling basin. The Nicks Creek withdrawal is comprised of
an intake and pumping structure, which is located offstream at the NC Highway 22
crossing, just below the dam. The structure design requires water to be routed to the
intake by means of an open piping system, connected to the outlet structure in the area
behind the reservoir dam. This system had previously failed many years prior to the
drought.
The Nicks Creek Reservoir Dam was constructed over 50 years ago to supply waxer for
Carthage. The outlet structure was critical to the system as it provided the means of
supplying water to the intake, to be pumped to the Town's treatment facility.
Unfortunately, the dam has experienced numerous breach stages throughout its history.
While we are uncertain of the exact dates, the dam was noticeably breached in several
oreas apparently at different times. Due to partially flooded areas that remained, due to
the breach conditions, beaver dams, and/or high flow conditions, the system was able to
operate - predominately by water being reverse fed through the intake exit channel from
Nicks Creek. Due to the capacity of the Town Reservoir at the WTP site, the Town never
experienced a severe outage until the 2002 Drought.
During the 2002 Drought, the intake and pumping system could not access enough water
through this reverse feed condition to adequately supply water to its residents. The
situation became so critical that the Town of Carthage obtained permission to utilize a
t sewer force main to feed the intake with raw water from the Southern Pines Reservoir.
This situation would have certainly been less critical, and perhaps never occurred, had
!Carthage's intake structure been receiving its supply of water as it was designed to
operate over 50 years ago.
During the prolonged drought conditions, the Town continued working with the various
;agencies to receive permission to impound a limited amount of water behind the dam to
i 'feed the raw water intake structure as intended in its design. Mr. John Dorney,
NCDENR-DWQ and Mr. Henry Wicker, US Army COE, met with Town officials and
I staff and approved the "temporary" dam structure. Other agencies involved during this
period include Mr. Jim Simons, NCDENR Land Quality Section and Mr. Steve Cook,
NCDENR Fayetteville Regional Office. All associated parties were very cooperative
a
during that period and were a major reason we recovered from the critical phase of the
drought in a timely manner.
As you may now understand, this problem is of greater concern to the Town of Carthage
as a result of last year's drought; however, it is more critical to the future operation of the
water supply system that we find a means of allowing the intake structure to function as it
was originally designed to operate.
It, has not been the Town of Carthage's intent to neglect these issues. As noted, our
consultants have been in contact with several agencies attempting to resolve all questions
- from both the Town and all agencies. The Town has secured $243,620.00 from the NC
Rural Center to address these issues as it relates to providing a safe supply and avoid
firture water shortages. The Town has been committed to resolving this issue and utilizing
these funds to complete the necessary work to better prepare our water system for future
emergencies.
Sincerely,
Carol Cleetwood, Town Manager

During the 2002 Drought the iataloe and pumping system could sot aces ewugh water through
this reverse feed condition to adequately supply water to its residents. The situation beam= so
critical that we obtained permission to trtilim a sewer farce main to feed the intake with raw
water from the Southem Pines Reservoir scvrral ndics south of the intake. This situation would
have certainly been less critical, and parbaps never occurred, had the mtalw stru ,t um been
reaciving its supply as it was designed to operate over 50 years ago.
During the prolonged drought conditions, the Vows continued working with the various agencies
to receive permission to impound a limited amount of water behind the dam to feed the raw water
intake structure as intended in its denX Mir. John Domc?, NODE R DWQ and Ms. Henry
Wicker, US Army COE, met with Tows, officials and staff and approved the "tftnporaW" dam
structure. Other agencies involved during this period include Mr. Jim Simons, NCDFNR Land
Quality Section and Mr. Steve Cook, NCDE lrTlt Fayetteville Regional Office, All associated
parties were very cooperative during that period and were a tuajor reason we recovered from the
c;sitical phase of the draught in a timely maxoner,
As you may now understand this problem is of greater concern to the Town of Carthage as a
roult of last year's drought, however, it is mare critical to the future operation of the ureter
supply system, flat we fmd a nemne of allowing the mtslz structure to fumtion as it was
originally designed to opmft. As such, we offer the following responses to yo r specific
concerns, and request your consideration of a subsequent meeting to establish the lorig t+crm
solution to our most dire need - water supply.
1) Water Quattty Certification - Certificate of Completiow This docunne= bas not
been stubm tted to date. As noted m your letter, some work remains to be done. Our
eonsulunts have been worl=g to arrange a meeting with various agencies, including
D'C+ Q, to assist the Town i a die mamer m which we should proceed to address all of
these concerts. Mr, John Bosse bas been attempting to meet with Mr. John Dorney's
office, sad while no meeting date has been set, the inspection noted in your letter
resulted from his inquiries.
2) As-Built Plans: Due to the dire situation we were facing and the need to proceed
with meetuug the drougiut related needs, the as4n ih plans were actually the submittal
j plans that were forwarded to each m&vub al agency- A copy of these plans is
?ttached3) Mitiateasnee, Plan: A draft copy of a Mainbmw= Phase is attached for your review.
The development of this plan is also a ma ft which we have wwted to discuss with
necessary agencies.
4) Removal and Restatratima Plan: We are atxachuW a draft copy of a general Removal
and Restoration Plan. Again, as it would be our latent to factor &c long-term issues
into this response, we were hoping to gam a meeting to discuss this matter also.
It ?as not been th ei Town of Cauthage's intM to neglect these issues. As notcd, our co=Wtants
have been, is contact wit several agencies aging to resolve all questions - from both the
Town and all agencies. The Town bas secured, $2A3,620.00 from the NC Rix-a1 Cenwr to adddress

VIM 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
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
Per John Dorsey, NCDENR DWQ, no mitigation required at this time due to the temporary
nature of the project
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.udwrp/index.htm. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the
following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): N/A
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/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 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/stringide.html.
