' RE: EA-Scoping for Proposed Extension of the Persimmon Creek Interceptor
Sanitary Sewer in Cumberland County
Dear Mr. Collie:
Reference your letter of August 14, 1992, concerning the above proposed
i
project. We have the following comments:
1. It appears that some impact will occur to woodland.
2. The EA should contain the following -
a. The total forest land acreage that would be removed as a result
of this project.
II
b. A description of the various timber types that would be
involved within the project.
c. The productivity of the forest soils as indicated by the soil
series that would be involved within the proposed project.
'd. The impact upon existing greenways within the area of. the
proposed project.
e. The provisions that the contractor will take to sell any
merchantable timber that is to be removed. This practice is
encouraged to minimize the need for piling and burning during
construction. If any burning is needed, the contractor should
comply with all laws and regulations pertaining to debris burning.

f. The provisions that the contractor will take during the
construction phase to prevent erosion, sedimentation and
construction damage to forest land outside the right-of-way and
construction limits. Trees outside construction limits should
be protected from construction activities to avoid:
(1) Skinning of tree trunks by machinery.
(2) Soil compaction and root exposure or injury by heavy
equipment.
(3) Adding layers of fill dirt over the root systems of trees,
a practice that impairs root aeration.
(4) Accidental spilling of petroleum products or other
damaging substances over the root systems of trees.
After the project is completed, it is anticipated that development
will increase in the area thus causing a further reduction in
woodland acres. This future impact should be addressed in the EA.

Dear Mr. Collie:
I have received your letter.dated August 14, 1992,
concerning the preparation of an Environmental Assessment on the
extension of the Persimmon Creek Interceptor Sanitary Sewer. It
appears from the information submitted that an erosion and
sedimentation control plan will be required for this project.
Erosion and sedimentation control should be addressed in your
planned Environmental Assessment.
An erosion and sediment control plan for this project must
be submitted to our Fayetteville Regional Office for approval
prior to commencing this project. You may contact our Regional
Engineer, Joe Glass at [phone] to discuss what will be
required in that plan. Mr. Glass may also have specific items
that may need to be addressed in the Environmental Assessment.

Dear Mr. Collie:
Thank you for your letter dated August 14, 1992, concerning the extension
of the Persimmon Creek Interceptor Sanitary Sewer. We here at the health
department are concerned about the absence of sanitary sewer in this area
1 where soils are clay and on site sewage disposal systems have been in the
ground for many years.
t

We realize that extending sanitary sewer into an already developed area is
a very costly venture with profit, if any, being very far away. It can also
be costly for one to connect to sanitary sewer when those along the route are
not experiencing problems with on site disposal systems and, therefore, have
no hard and fast reason to assist financially. The solution . . . who knows?
As protectors of the environmental health and well being of all in Cumberland
County, we do know that we have to keep moving in a positive direction; and
public sewer is a positive direction. There are areas in the county where we
experience constant problems and complaints with on site sewage systems. These
are in need of repair and no where to repair because the systems have had much
repair in the past. Also, when a repair is made, it does not last; the problem
surfaces again in a short time. These systems have over extended their life.
The particular sites that we feel are in dire need of municipal sewer in this
area are:
1. Applewood Village Apartments, Fillyaw Road
2. Summerhill Townhouses, Windy Hill Circle
3. Four Seasons Subdivision, Off Fillyaw Road
4. The businesses located along Yadkin Road
5. Williamsburg Apartments, Yadkin Road
6. Cottonade Square Guest Inn, Yadkin Road
In summary, there is a critical public health need to extend sanitary sewer along
Persimmon Creek, the further the extension, the better the need can be met.
Very truly yours,
Lacy illiams, Jr., R.S.

City of Fayetteville
Cumberland County
Dear Mr. Collie:
The Public Works Commission of the City of Fayetteville wishes
' to construct the Persimmon Creek Sewer Line. to help enhance the
environment through connecting failing septic tanks to a municipal.
treatment plant.- Due to the scope of the project, you have been
informed of the need for an environmental document. It is DEM's
understanding that an Environmental Assessment (EA) will be
submitted for state review. Based on the comments received after
the Department's review of the EA, a decision will be made on
' whether to file a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI)• or to
require the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement.
The. Water Quality Section of DEM would like to see a
comparison of the following alternatives in the EA: 1) a no build
alternative; 2) an alternative with forced mains; 3) the corridor
proposed in the 1970's and; 4) the alternative proposed by the COE
and DEM on September 9, 1992. We are most interested in the
reduction of the loss of valuable wetland resources and surface
water uses, but recommend that the comparison evaluate all of the
following issues:
a) changes in land use
b) wetlands
c) prime or unique agricultural lands
d) public lands such as parks (state, federal or local)
e) scenic and recreational areas
' f) areas of archeological or historical value
g) air quality

P
I have attached the comments received from the Department of
Environment, Health, and Natural Resources on the Persimmon Creek
Sewer Line Environmental Assessment. Prior to submitting the
document to the State Clearinghouse for review, we will need to
address the attached comments from the Wildlife Resources
Commission. It is unfortunate that the Wildlife Resources
Commission (WRC) was not included in the field visit conducted on
September 9, 1992, as I believe most of their concerns could have
been addressed at that time. I will send a copy of the attached
comments to Eric Galamb in our Wetlands and Technical Review Group
and request that he try to resolve the issues with the WRC's
District 4 Fisheries Biologist, Keith W. Ashley.
As we discussed on the telephone, page 14 of the document Will
need to be revised to reflect the Nationwide Permit Number 12
requirement for a 40 foot construction easement in wetland areas.
If a larger construction easement is required in wetland areas, it
will be necessary to apply for an Individual 404 Permit and
Individual Water Quality Certification. Additional questions on
the Water Quality Section's 401 Certification process, should be
directed to our Wetlands and Technical Review Group at (919)733-
1786.

DATE: January 11, 1993
SUBJECT: Environmental Assessment (EA) Review, Fayetteville
' Public Works Commission Proposed Persimmon Creek
Interceptor Sanitary Sewer Line X, Cumberland County,
North Carolina.
As a staff biologist with the North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission (NCWRC), I have reviewed the subject project
and am familiar with habitat values associated with the proposed
project area. These comments are provided in accordance with
provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat.
401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.), the Clean Water Act of
1977 (as amended), and the North Carolina Environmental Policy
Act (G.S. 113A-1 et seq., as amended; 1 NCAC-25).
The City of Fayetteville Public Works Commission (PWC) is
proposing to construct 12,350 L.F. of gravity fed sewer pipeline
adjacent to Persimmon Creek in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The
proposed sewer-line extension will be located adjacent to an
existing PWC electric trasmission line on a previously disturbed
site. The NCWRC is concerned over impacts to fisheries,
wildlife, and wetland resources within and adjacent to the
and
proposed adverse impacts on fisheries and wetlands resources in concerned
about adv impacts
'
adjacent to Persimmon Creek.
The NCWRC recognizes the need for adequate sewage treatment
for public health benefit and to reduce adverse impacts to
surface water quality. However, gravity drained sewer systems
are typically located adjacent to stream banks because of their
elevational position in the landscape. From a fisheries and
wildlife habitat perspective, such sewer line locations are
hicrhly undesirable. Sewer lines, pump stations, and pipelines

MEMO TO: Melba McGee Page 2 January 11, 1993
' should be located in upland areas and not within wetlands
(streams, canals, or ditches) or the riparian zone. We are
particularly concerned about the proposed interceptor line and
its impacts to forested wetlands associated with the proposed
project. Forested wetlands are especially important due to a
loss of this habitat type on a regional and national basis. We
therefore request that impacts to forested wetlands be reduced by
locating the interceptor line as far from the stream as is
feasible, by minimizing the number of stream crossings and any
filling, and by restricting the corridor width to a maximum of 20
feet. Crossings of wetlands and streams should be located at
narrow areas and made perpendicular to the stream. Plant
communities should be re-established which would result in plant
community succession into habitat of equal or greater value than
that which was destroyed.
As presented, the proposed project should have minor adverse
impacts on fisheries and wildlife resources. However, we do
recommend strict adherence to Best Management Practices for
construction activities on the project area and recommend all
proposed construction activities occur between September 1 and
January 1 unless documentation can be provided indicating
specific construction activities will not release appreciable
amounts of sediment and turbidity into Persimmon Creek. This
recommendation is based on potential negative impacts of
sedimentation and turbidity from construction on spawning
activities of freshwater species (primarily sunfish and
largemouth bass).
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this
EA. If we can provide further assistance, please contact NCWRC
District 4 Fisheries Biologist Keith W. Ashley, at 919-866-4250.

Dear Mr. Collie:
' Subject: Persimmon Creek Interceptor Line X
Cumberland County
MufL,k 3 /93
This 1 ter is a follow up to our telephone conversation
this date. The Corps of Engineers (COE) has a Nationwide Permit
12 for Utility Line Backfill and Bedding. The Division has
' Certification 2664 for the same activity. I have enclosed a copy
of this Certification. Please note that the construction width
is limited to 40 feet wide with a 10 foot permanent corridor.
DEM would be willing to allow you to hand clear an additional 10
feet area on each side of the corridor where materials. could be-
temporarily stored. Stockpiling soil, gravel or any other
similar material is not acceptable in the hand cleared wetland
' area. Stockpiling of any material is acceptable on upland areas.
The Certification has been public noticed and is therefore
rigid and cannot be easily changed. If the conditions for
Certification 2664 are unacceptable to you, an Individual Permit
may be necessary. The applicant would request the amount of
wetland impacts. The COE would then place the application on
Public Notice. Generally, the commenting period is 30 days after
the Public Notice was published in the newspaper. If the COE
determines that there is enough interest in the project, they can
hold a Public Hearing.
Individual Permit applications require that 404(b)(1)
guidelines be followed. This requires the applicant to first
avoid wetlands, then minimize impacts and finally to mitigate for
the wetland impacts. DEM acknowledges that this sewer line has

avoided wetlands as much as possible. DEM issued Certification
2664 because we believe that a sewer line can be installed within
the corridor width and this width has "minimal impact."
Mitigation is required to offset the impacts that are greater
than minimal. Mitigation would mean that the City purchase
restorable wetlands, enhance wetlands or create wetlands with a
2:1 ratio for restored/enhanced/created: wetland lost or
impacted. This can dramatically escalate the costs for a project
and increase the time to obtain a permit.
DEM requests that the EA for the project be updated to
explicate the permit that would be obtained (Nationwide or
Individual), the corridor width, and mitigation if you attempt to
obtain an Individual permit.

Public Works Commission Proposed Persimmon Creek
Interceptor Sanitary Sewer Line X, Cumberland County,
North Carolina.
As per your request, please find enclosed our concerns and
' recommendations for the proposed Persimmon Creek Interceptor
Sanitary Sewer Line X. As you are aware, the City of
Fayetteville Public Works Commission (PWC) is proposing to
construct 12,350 L.F. of gravity fed sewer pipeline adjacent to
Persimmon Creek in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The proposed
sewer line extension will be located adjacent to an existing PWC
electric transmission line on a previously disturbed site. The
' NCWRC is concerned over impacts to fisheries, wildlife, and
wetland resources within and adjacent to the proposed
construction corridor. We are especially concerned about adverse
impacts on fisheries and wetland resources in and adjacent to
Persimmon Creek.
As discussed during our phone conversation of February 10,
1993, the proposed project should have minor adverse impacts on
fisheries and wildlife resources. We would have no objections to
the proposed project provided the contractor strictly adhere to
1 Best Management Practices for construction activities on the
project area and all proposed construction activities occur
between September .1 and January 1. We also request impacts to
forested wetlands be reduced by locating the interceptor line as
far from the stream as is feasible, by minimizing the number of
stream crossings and any filling, and by restricting the corridor
width to a maximum of 20 feet. Crossings of wetlands and. streams
' should be located at narrow areas and made perpendicular to the
stream. Plant communities should be re-established which would

the proposed project should have minor adverse impacts on the
fisheries resources of Persimmon Creek provided all proposed
' construction activities occur between July 15 and March 1. We
initially recommended a construction window of September 1 to
January 1 to minimize potential negative impacts of sedimentation
' and turbidity from construction on spawning activities of
freshwater species (primarily sunfish and largemouth bass).
These impacts are especially damaging during the spring and
summer (during low water) and can also effect the production of
aquatic food organisms and feeding of fish. Turbidity can be
extremely stressful during summer periods of warm water
temperatures and low water levels. Impacts would be greatest

MEMO TO: Monica Swihart Page 2 March 4, 1993
during low water and therefore all work must be conducted during
the specified moratorium, July 15 to March 1, unless
documentation can be provided indicating specific construction
activities will not release appreciable amounts of sediment and
turbidity.

Enclosed is one (1) set of sheets 3 of 12 through 11 of 12
of the plans for the subject project. These sheets have been
revised to show certain modifications to the proposed use of seep-
age barriers.
The July 2, 1993 letter from Mr. A. Preston Howard to the
Public Works Commission contains an additional condition that
anti-seepage collars be installed with a maximum spacing of 150
feet.
Please note that the seepage barriers shown on the enclosed
drawings extend from the bottom of the trench excavation vertically
upward to the original ground surface. The spacing has been de-
signed such that the top of any given barrier is at an elevation
not less than the top of the sewer pipe at the next adjacent up-
stream barrier. A continuous barrier is thereby provided against
the flow of ground water through the stone pipe bedding material.
In contrast, many such anti-seepage collars, or barriers, are
designed to extend to a height of only twelve inches to eighteen
inches above the top of the pipe.
A somewhat widely held misconception is that subsoils in
the Cumberland County area are generally large grained and quite
porous. This, of course, is not the case and much of the soil
to be encountered along the proposed project is_ anticipated to
be fine grained with very low permeability characteristics.
The stone bedding, which extends for a depth of four inches
under the pipe upward to the pipe springline, of course provides
an excellent conduit for subsurface flow. It is believed, however,
that the design and spacing of the seepage barriers, as shown
on the enclosed drawings, provide an effective preventive to such
flows.

Mr. Eric Galamb -2- August 9, 1993
Please review the proposed design, which includes three ad-
ditional barrier structures, and reconsider your prior requirement
for the spacing of these devices.
Yours very truly,
John S. Collie

Dear Mr. Collie:

This 1 ter is a follow up to our telephone conversation
this date. The Corps of Engineers (COE) has a Nationwide Permit
12 for Utility Line Backfill and Bedding. The Division has
Certification 2664 for the same activity. I have enclosed a copy
of this Certification. Please note that the construction width
is limited to 40 feet wide with a 10 foot permanent corridor.
DEM would be willing to allow you to hand clear an additional 10
feet area on each side of the corridor where materials-could be.
temporarily stored. Stockpiling soil, gravel or any other
similar material is not acceptable in the hand cleared wetland
area. Stockpiling of any material is acceptable on upland areas.
The Certification has been public noticed and is therefore
rigid and cannot be easily changed. If the conditions for
Certification 2664 are unacceptable to you, an Individual Permit
may be necessary. The applicant would request the amount of
wetland impacts. The COE would.then place the application on
Public Notice. Generally, the commenting period is 30 days after
the Public Notice was published in the newspaper. If the COE
determines that there is enough interest in the project, they can
hold a Public Hearing.
Individual Permit applications require that 404(b)(1)
guidelines be followed. This requires the applicant to first
avoid wetlands, then minimize impacts and finally to mitigate for
the wetland impacts. DEM acknowledges that this sewer line has

avoided wetlands as much as possible. DEM issued Certification
2664 because we believe that a sewer line can be installed within
the corridor width and this width has "minimal impact."
Mitigation is required to offset the impacts that are greater
than minimal. Mitigation would mean that the City purchase
restorable wetlands, enhance wetlands or create wetlands with a
2:1 ratio for restored/enhanced/created: wetland lost or
impacted. This can dramatically escalate the costs for a project
and increase the time to obtain a permit.
DEM requests that the EA for the project be updated to
explicate the permit that would be obtained (Nationwide or
Individual), the corridor width, and mitigation if you attempt to
obtain an Individual permit.

Dear Mr. Collie:
I have attached the comments received from the Department of
Environment, Health, and Natural Resources on the Persimmon Creek
Sewer Line Environmental Assessment. Prior to submitting the
document to the State Clearinghouse for review, we will need to
address the attached comments from the Wildlife Resources
Commission. It is unfortunate that the Wildlife Resources
Commission (WRC) was not included in the field visit conducted on
September 9, 1992, as I believe most of their concerns could have
been addressed at that time. I will send a copy of the attached
comments to Eric Galamb in our Wetlands and Technical Review Group
and request that he try to resolve the issues with the WRC's
District 4 Fisheries Biologist, Keith W. Ashley.
As we discussed on the telephone, page 14 of the document will
need to be revised to reflect the Nationwide Permit Number 12
requirement for a 40 foot construction easement in wetland areas.
If a larger construction easement is required in wetland areas, it
will be necessary to apply for an Individual 404 Permit and
Individual Water Quality Certification. Additional questions on
the Water Quality Section's 401 Certification process, should be
directed to our Wetlands and Technical Review Group at (919)733-
1786.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at
[phone].
Sincerely,
-Ilftam, kaA?-

TO: Melba McGee, Planning and Assessment
Dept. of Environment, Health & Natural Resources
FROM: Keith W. Ashley, District 4 Fisheries Biologist
NC Wildlife Resources Commission
DATE: January 11, 1993
SUBJECT: Environmental Assessment (EA) Review, Fayetteville
Public Works Commission Proposed Persimmon Creek
Interceptor Sanitary Sewer Line X, Cumberland County,
North Carolina.
As a staff biologist with the North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission (NCWRC), I have reviewed the subject project
and am familiar with habitat values associated with the proposed
project area. These comments are provided in accordance with
provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat.
401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.), the Clean Water Act of
1977 (as amended), and the North Carolina Environmental Policy
Act (G.S. 113A-1 et seq., as amended; 1 NCAC-25).
The City of Fayetteville Public Works Commission (PWC) is
proposing to construct 12,350 L.F. of gravity fed sewer pipeline
adjacent to Persimmon Creek in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The
proposed sewer line extension will be located adjacent to an
existing PWC electric trasmission line on a previously disturbed
site. The NCWRC is concerned over impacts to fisheries,,
wildlife, and wetland resources within and adjacent to the
proposed construction corridor. We are especially concerned
about adverse impacts on fisheries and wetland resources in and
adjacent to Persimmon Creek.
The NCWRC recognizes the need for adequate sewage treatment
for public health benefit and to reduce adverse impacts to
surface water quality. However, gravity drained sewer systems
are typically located adjacent to stream banks because of their
elevational position in the landscape. From a fisheries and
wildlife habitat perspective, such sewer line locations are
highly undesirable. Sewer lines, pump stations, and pipelines

MEMO TO: Melba McGee Page 2 January 11, 1993
should be located in upland areas and not within wetlands
(streams, canals, or ditches) or the riparian zone. We are
particularly concerned about the proposed interceptor line and
its impacts to forested wetlands associated with the proposed
project. Forested wetlands are especially important due to a
loss of this habitat type on a regional and national basis. We
therefore request that impacts to forested wetlands be reduced by
locating the interceptor line as far from the stream as is
feasible, by minimizing the number of stream crossings and any
filling, and by restricting the corridor width to a maximum of 20
feet. Crossings of wetlands and streams should be located at
narrow areas and made perpendicular to the stream. Plant
communities should be re-established which would result in plant
community succession into habitat of equal or greater value than
that which was destroyed.
As presented, the proposed project should have minor adverse
impacts on fisheries and wildlife resources. However, we do
recommend strict adherence to Best Management Practices for
construction activities on the project area and recommend all
proposed construction activities occur between September 1 and
January 1 unless documentation can be provided indicating
specific construction activities will not release appreciable
amounts of sediment and turbidity into Persimmon Creek. This
recommendation is based on potential negative impacts of
sedimentation and turbidity from construction on spawning
activities of freshwater species (primarily sunfish and
largemouth bass).
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this
EA. If we can provide further assistance, please contact NCWRC
District 4 Fisheries Biologist Keith W. Ashley, at 919-866-4250.

Subject: Persimmon Creek Interceptor Line X
Fayetteville, N. C.
Dear Ms. Swihart:
It is my understanding from our telephone conversation on Feb-
ruary 22, 1993, that only two items remain unresolved with respect
to the Environmental Assessment for the subject project, specifi-
cally as follows:
1. Restriction of the right of way width allowed for
construction to a maximum of forty (40) feet.
2. The condition imposed by the N. C. Wildlife Resources
Commission that the time of construction be limited
to four months (September 1 to January 1).
The proposed construction easement as described under para-
graph M. of the Environmental Consequences Section of the E/A
Document is for a 30 foot wide permanent easement with an addi-
tional 15 foot wide temporary construction easement on each side,
for a total construction right of way width of 60 feet.
The use of equipment of sufficient size and type to effec-
tively and efficiently perform the work involved incompliance with
safety requirements for personnel, the necessary removal of timber
and other vegetative debris, and the delivery of material over con-
siderable distances with limited lateral access are considerations
that entered into our judgement that a 60 foot right of way is a
minimum requirement.
It is pointed out, as stated in the E/A, that excavation and
all other ground disturbing activities will be limited to the cen-
ter 30 foot width and that only the clearing of vegetation will be
allowed in the outer 15 feet on each side. This portion of right
of way would be used for the temporary storage of pipe and other
material to be incorporated in the work, for the passage of equip-
ment, and, where necessary, the temporary deposition of trench ex-

cavation. It is not intended for uses that would be destructive to
the natural state of the underlying soil.
Further, for obvious reasons, the necessary width required for
construction increases with the depth of the pipe to be installed.
The relocations made in compliance with recommendations resulting
from the on-site inspection of September 9, 1992, had the consid-
erable effect of increasing the pipe depth in the areas of relo-
cation.
With respect to the time allowed for construction, it is our
carefully considered judgement that imposition of a completion
time of four months does not reflect a reasonable assessment of the
size and relative difficulty of this project, and the other con-
straints associated with it. We believe that to require that very
restrictive time schedule would undoubtedly reflect on the quality
of the total project, including not only the pipeline itself, but
the care and protection of the native environment as well. It would
almost certainly result in the reluctance of many very qualified
contractors to submit a bid and in a markedly higher total project
cost.
Any person, group or agency that has had an opportunity to
visit this location would agree that this sewer line is urgently
needed. State and Federal Agencies are strongly encouraged to
recognize that the presence of.a severely polluted creek and adja-
cent landscape is not a desirable objective. Failure to construct
an adequately sized sanitary sewer interceptor in this area will in-
evitably lead to further pollution of Persimmon Creek, encourage
further development on septic tanks, and jeopardize the health and
well being of literally thousands of area residents.
We recommend and strongly urge that reconsideration be made to
allow a construction corridor width of 60 feet and that a comple-
tion time of seven months be established. Your help in this regard
will be most appreciated.
Yours very truly,

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND NEED:
,. This proposed project will provide for an approximately
12,350 L.F. extension of the Persimmon Creek Interceptor Sanitary
Sewer, designated on the 201 Facilities Plan for Cumberland County
as Line X.
The Persimmon Creek drainage basin is located approximately
one mile west of the present City Limits of the City of Fayette-
ville. It extends from the confluence of Persimmon Creek with
Beaver Creek in McFadyen Lake on the south, approximately north-
ward, crossing Morganton Road, to a point inside the Fort Bragg
Military Reservation. The total drainage basin area comprises
approximately 2,318 acres. It is situated within the service area
of the Public Works Commission of the City of Fayetteville.
Persimmon Creek flows into Beaver Creek which is tributary
to Little Rockfish Creek and thence to Rockfish Creek which termi-
nates at its entrance into the Cape Fear River. The Public Works
Commission owns two wastewater treatment plants, the Cross Creek
Plant and the Rockfish Plant, the latter being located at the con-
fluence of Rockfish Creek and the Cape Fear River.
Initial studies were made and field surveys and construction
drawings were completed for a system of interceptor sewers for all
of the Rockfish Creek basin, including its tributaries, situated
in Cumberland County during the period of 1970 to 1973. The Per-
simmon Creek Interceptor, Line X, is a portion of that system.
The lower portion of Persimmon Creek Interceptor, from Beaver
Creek upstream for a distance of approximately 5,150 L.F., was
constructed in 1983. The portion included in this proposed pro-
ject begins at the upper end of the existing pipe and extends for
a distance of approximately 12,350 L.F. Both the existing por-
tion and all of this proposed extension is 18 inch diameter pipe.
The entire area which would be served by this proposed con-
struction is at present totally dependent upon septic tanks for
sewage disposal. As detailed in subsequent sections of this .
document, an extremely large portion of the soils receiving ef-
fluent from these septic tank systems are saturated and the re-
sulting conditions are in direct contravention of the laws and
rules as defined by the Division Of Environmental Health. This
project is urgently needed to provide a feasible solution to
these potentially dangerous conditions.

IV
EXISTING ENVIRONMENT
The project area from the end of the existing sewer upstream
to Morganton Road is fully developed. Persimmon Creek and the
low, swampy area on each side, comprising an elongated area ap-
proximately 80 feet to 200 feet in width is owned in fee by the
Public Works Commission. This strip of land adjoins the rear
property lines of Devonwood on the west and Murray Fork on the
east, both residential subdivisions. This strip of land averages
approximately 150 feet in width and is traversed longitudinally
by an existing Public Works Commission 69 KV electric trans-
mission line with a 69 KV substation supplying four 25 KV feeder
lines, being located approximately 1,200 feet south of Morganton
Road. The new sanitary sewer is to be constructed between the
electric power line and the rear lot line of Murray Fork Subdivi-
sion. The total right-of-way width requirement for the sewer line
is anticipated to be 15 feet on each side of the pipe centerline
for permanent easement with an additional 15 feet on each side
- for temporary construction use for a total width of 60 feet.
l? LJ
Although in some instances, because of the location of the power
line and the meandering of the Creek run, it will be necessary
to obtain right-of-way across the rear of some lots in Murray
Fork, such additional right-of-way will in no case be wider than
15 feet of permanent easement plus an additional 15 feet of tempo-
rary construction easement, or half of the total requirement.
North of the Morganton Road, the Hubbard property, lying
generally to the west side of Persimmon Creek, but extending in
large part also to the east side, is undeveloped for the entire
length of the proposed project. The tract adjoining the north
side of Morganton Road, the west side of Bonanza Drive, the south-
ern line of the Cumberland County Board of Education Property,
and extending also to the west of Persimmon Creek, is owned by
the Bowles family heirs. This tract is also undeveloped, but is
presently for sale.
The Ponderosa Subdivision, comprised entirely of single family
residential lots, conforms to conventional practice in that all
of the usable land to the east of Persimmon Creek was included in
the subdivided lots. All the remaining area between the rear lot
-2-
1+
lines and the Creek has been sold to the Hubbard family. The
Summer Hill Subdivision, which extends to Fillyaw Road, is also a
single family residential development.
Since the Board of Education property (Westover Senior High
School) does not extend westwardly to Persimmon Creek, all of the
proposed sewer line construction location, which is along the east
side of the Creek, north of Morganton Road crosses only the pro-
perty of the Hubbard Family and the Bowles Family Heirs.
The zoning of Murray Fork, south of Morganton Road is R10.
The Hubbard property is zoned RR and the Bowles property is zoned
PND. The Board of Education property is zoned PND and the Pon-
derosa adjacent to the proposed project is PND and R10. Summer
Hill is zoned R10. The Hubbard family has indicated its intention
to continue to use all of this large tract as family residences
and agricultural purposes. It is believed that the Bowles tract
will be developed for commercial uses.
Elevations at this proposed project site range from 158 MSL
at the lower end to 244 MSL at the upper. The slope of the ground
M
surface along the route of the sewer line is almost uniformly
constant at 0.32% upstream to Horseshoe Branch, above which it
steepens to approximately 0.7%. The pipe gradient is designed to
very nearly reflect the existing ground surface throughout its
entire length. The lateral topography along the proposed route
is.such that medium to steep slopes predominate to the east of
the pipe centerline which lies to the east of Persimmon Creek up-
stream to the confluence of Horseshoe Branch. Because of the
close proximity of the Creek to the rear lines of lots in Summer
Hill, it was necessary to cross to the west side from Horseshoe
Branch to Freeport Road.
The soil series along the corridor of Persimmon Creek is
Johnston. This series consists of poorly drained soils that
formed in loamy, stratified fluvial sediment on flood plains along
streams. Slopes are less than 2%. Typically, the surface layer
is very dark gray loam about 42 inches thick. The potential pro-
ductivity site index for loblolly pine for Johnston soils is 96.
The creekbottom overstory includes sweetgum, water oak, pine,
blackgum, dogwood, and willow. Understory vegetation is often
quite dense and is typically composed of shrubs and vines in-
-3-
cluding hedge, honeysuckle, posion ivy, wild grapes, and briar,
Areas bordering and ascending from the creekbottom band fall
into the classification of upland hardwood or pine and pine-hardwood.
Overstory species include white oak, black oak, southern red
oak, water oak, hickory, maple, poplar, black gum and sweet gum,
and pine.
The understory of the upland hardwood habitat, while often
more open than that of the creekbottom, generally includes the
species found in the creekbottom plus wild cherry and regener-
ation of the overstory forest.

ALTERNATIVE ANALYSIS:
Four alternatives to providing sanitary sewer service in the
Persimmon Creek basin are:
1. No action, leaving existing and future development dependent
upon individual septic tanks.
2. A system of pumping facilities.
3. Construction of the gravity pipelines along Persimmon Creek
in the location proposed in 1972.
4. Construction of the gravity pipeline along Persimmon Creek
incorporating the location modifications proposed in 1992.
A comparative analysis of the foregoing alternatives follows:
Alternative 1. No Action
All of the present development within the Persimmon Creek
drainage basin through which this proposed pipeline would extend
is served by septic tank disposal systems. Soils in this area
tend toward clay types that in many instances are minimally suit-
able for on-site sewage disposal. Most existing septic tank
systems have been in use for many years and, in a great number of
instances, flagrant evidences of failure are apparent.
Attachment No. 1 is a compilation from the records of the
Director of Environmental Health for Cumberland County of recent
septic tank repairs and complaints from single family residences,
together with a listing of group housing developments with the
design daily flow from each, and an inventory of food handling
establishments and day care facilities, all of which are served
by septic tank disposal systems.
Attachment No. 2 is a partial listing of observed typical
septic tank failures and unlawful practices along the corridor
immediately adjacent to the proposed project route noted by sur-
veying personnel while engaged in project location work. It is
reasonable to assume that the frequency and type of failures and
violations rioted are representative of such conditions throughout
the entire developed areas.
The foregoing documentation of the present total dependence
on septic tank systems for wastewater disposal within the proposed
project drainage basin, together with the evidence and nature of
failures and unlawful modifications of such systems, shows that
-5-
Persimmon Creek is already literally serving as an open sewer.
- The situation will only deteriorate with the passage of time and
will eventually become intolerable.
A No Action alternative is therefor considered not acceptable.
Alternative 2. A System Of Pumping Facilities
The total proposed system under this alternative would in-
clude the following components:
1. An 18 inch diameter gravity sewer identical in all respects
to that proposed under Alternatives 3. and 4. extending
from the upper end of the existing pipe to the proposed
manhole located just north of Morganton Road. The length
of this proposed segment is approximately 3,328 linear
feet.
2. A primary pumping station which would be located approxi-
mately 300 feet south of Freeport Road. The total extent
of the proposed project along Persimmon Creek under this
alternative is therefore, also identical in length to that
under Alternatives 3. and 4.
3. Three smaller, or secondary, pumping stations which would
be constructed in order to make service available to the
existing Ponderosa and Summer Hill Subdivisions. One
would be located near the end of Santa Fe Drive, one near
the end of Lonestar Road, and one at the confluence of
Persimmon Creek and Horseshoe Branch.
4. Approximately 7,460 L.F. of force main which is required
to connect the primary pumping station to the manhole
near the north side of Morganton Road.
5. Approximately 3,400 L.F. of 8 inch diameter gravity sewer
pipe to provide suitable means for conducting wastewater
from the Ponderosa and Summer Hill Subdivisions to the
pumping stations.
The total estimated construction cost for this alternative
is $1,075,000.00. The estimated annual cost for electric power
to operate the four pumping installations is $32,000.00, and the
yearly budgeted maintenance cost for personnel and equipment is
estimated to be $25,200.00. The cost of electrical operation and
budgeted maintenance cost capitalized at 5% for a 20 year period
assuming a 5% rate of inflation is $1,985,941.00.
-6-

The construction, maintenance, and operational expense of
this alternative is inordinately high in comparison to a gravity
flow system. Additionally, a system that is dependent upon pump-
ing connot be made completely immune to the inherent and un-
avoidable subjectivity to failure and breakdown of mechanical
equipment. For these reasons, the Public Works Commission does
riot recommend this plan nor consider it a viable alternative.
Alternative 3. Construct Gravity Pipeline Along Persimmon Creek
In Location Proposed In 1972
Initial field location surveys and construction drawings for
the Persimmon Creek Interceptor were completed in 1972.
The primary objective, at that time,in establishing the pro-
posed pipeline n erline was to parallel as nearly as practi.ca e
the location of the Creek streambed at a lateral distance of
approximately 30 to 35 feet therefrom. This location procedure
was followed for a number of reasons which were, at that time,
generally accepted to be, on balance, more compelling than other
options, and included the following:
1. Almost without exception, locating the sewer pipe in
close proximity to the stream would result in the mini-
mum depth of cut required for installation. A lesser
cut depth, of course, tends to d•?crease construction
cost, and reduces the required right of way width con-
sistent with both adherence to safe working practices arid.
efficiency of operations. Also, a lesser construction
width obviously equates to less destruction of vegetation
and disturbance of soil surfaces.
2. Since, in all cases, only one pipeline will be constructed
longitudinally through the drainage basin, it must serve
the higher reaches in both lateral directions. Conse-
quently, a location nearer the stream would tend to equal-
ize the burden of extending connecting pipelines to the.
interceptor line from adjacent property from both direc-
tions. This also tends to lessen the d•apth of instal-
L.at_ion required for the longitudinal pipe, or interceptor.
3. A pipe location as near to the creek as feasible, consis-
tent with protection of the natural stability of the
-7-
channel, obviously maximizes the use of the adjacent higher
elevation property for development purposes or other use.
The total length of pipeline which would be constructed under
this alternative is 12,350 L.F. The estimated total construction
cost is $925,000.00.
Because of current environmental requirements that are not
fully satisfied under this plan, it is not the alternative rec-
ommended by the Public Works Commission.
Alternative 4. Construct Gravity Pipeline Along Persimmon
Creek In Location Revised To Reflect 1992
Environmental Requirements.
A meeting was held at the City of Fayetteville Public Works
Commission Office on September 9, 1992 for the purpose of a pre-
liminary evaluation of the construction of the portion of the
Persimmon Creek Interceptor, Line X, under this proposed project
with particular reference to satisfactorily meeting the require-
merits of current environmental law. Persons in attendance included:
Ken Farifoni Public Works Commission
Henry Powers Public Works Commission
Tom McNeill Public Works Commission
Robert Stanger Cumberland County Engineer
Scott McLendon U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Eric Galamb N.C. Div. of Environmental Management
Ken Averett N.C. Div. of Environmental Management
Jane Stevens Cumberland County Health Dept.
Craig Collie Consulting Engineers
John Collie Consulting Engineers
The meeting concluded with an on-site inspection of the site
of the proposed project.
The principal revision recommended by both Mr. McLendon and
Mr. Galamb was that the proposed pipe centerline be relocated as
far as feasible to the east, that is, away from the Persimmon.
Creek streambed. The purpose of this recommended relocation being,
of course, to avoid or to mitigate to the maximum extent possible
significant adverse impacts to the Creek and its adjacent wetlands.
The primary limiting factors in the feasibility and extent
-8-
of eastward relocation are (1), the pronounced upward.slopes
rising from the creekbottom plain, and (2), the existing resi-
dential development which, in many instances, occupies all of the
upper level terrain.
The foregoing limitations notwithstanding, however, a sig-
nificant portion of the pipeline north of Morganton Road has,
under this alternative, been relocated as reflected on the ac-
companying project plans. For information and comparison pur-
poses, the plans also indicate the original (1972) centerline
location.
Cross sections based on actual field elevations were obtained
at each manhole north of Morganton Road to assist in determining
the extent to which relocation was considered feasible. Every
effort was made to achieve a proper balance between the objective
of moving as far as possible from the streambed on the one hand
and avoiding an excessive depth of cut and disturbance of steep
side-hill slopes with attendant difficulty in restabilization, on
the other. Copies of the cross sections are included with the re-
vised plans. In areas adjacent to existing development, minimum
separation of twenty feet_ was maintained _betweem_ the pipe center-
line and resider gal lot I ines.
Within the portion of the project south of Morganton Road,
due in large part to the presence of the existing electric trans-
mission line, the pipe centerline was originally (in 1972) lo-
cated very near to, or in some instances encroaching upon, the
westernmost lots of Murray Fork Subdivision. Hence the option of
an additional eastward relocation is not available.
The total length of pipeline which would be constructed under
this alternative is 12,350 I, F Th?est;mated total construction
-------------
cost is $945,000.00.
Because of the relative economy of constructing this gravity
system, its high reliability characteristic, extremely low mainte-
nance and operational cost, and the incorporation of current en-
vironmental concerns into its design, the Public Works Commission
strongly recommends its approval.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES:
A. Changes In Land Use
In addition to the present land uses enumerated and described
hereinbefore under EXISTING ENVIRONMENT, it should be noted that
the Horseshoe Road area has developed in large part without prior
planning and is essentially residential but with some small busi-
ness uses particularly in the proximity of Yadkin Road. The por-
tion of Yadkin Road tributary to the Persimmon Creek basin is
almost entirely devoted to business uses with a large number of
food handling establishments. The Summerhill Subdivision, which
extends generally from Horseshoe Road northwardly to Fillyaw
Road is a single family residential development. The preponderance
of land use along Fillyaw Road and northwardly to Reilly Road is
primarily medium to large multi-family residential developments.
Most of the included portion of Reilly Road has developed commer-
cially or with multi-family uses. Most of the Persimmon Creek
area lying north of the Yadkin Road corridor is within the Fort
Bragg Reservation.
There is presently no public sanitary sewer service available
to any portion of.the drainage area to be served by this proposed
project. All sewage disposal is by on-site septic tanks, many of
which, as has already been pointed out, have failed to the point
that they no longer function at all. Sewage is being piped di-
rectly into Persimmon Creek. The construction of this project
will enable the extension of street collection mains and public
sewer connections to all property. It is the first essential
step in the elimination of existing health hazards and the pre-
vention of others certain to occur as the result of failed septic
tanks.
Although the general pattern and type of development is not
expected to change as a result of the construction of this pro-
posed project, it is expe-cted.that public sewerage facilities
will promote proceeding with building construction that has here-
tofore been denied because of unsuitability for septic tank dis-
posal. The zoning classification of all property within the pro-
ject service area is controlled by the County of Cumberland, and
therefore no deterioration in its use or character can be ex-
pected to result from its completion.
-10-
B. Wetlands
Although portions of this proposed project fall within wet-
land areas subject to permit authorization under Section 404 of
the Clean Water Act, the nature and scope of any such intrusion
can and will be controlled such that authorization could be made
under nationwide permit procedure.
Under Alternative 4., which is a construction alternative
incorporating location revisions reflecting present environmental
requirements and which is recommended by the Public Works Com-
mission, the pipe centerline has been relocated away from the
Creek to the maximum extent feasible, in view of opposing con-
straints. The Public Works Commission will hold construction
personnel to strict compliance with the contract documents and
the terms and conditions of the permit authorization as issued.
The Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan for the project will
be approved by the Land Quality Section of the N.C. Department of
Health, Environment and Natural Resources.
C. Agricultural, Forest, and Public Lands and Recreational
Areas
The location of the proposed project does not lie within any
agricultural or public lands, or recreational areas; therefore,
the construction will, by or in itself, have no direct impact on
such lands. There are no existing greenways within the area of
this proposed project. The Cumberland County Joint Planning
Department has performed some preliminary studies of areas for
possible future greenway development, one of which included the
Persimmon Creek corridor north of Morganton Road. If this develop-
ment were to materialize at some future date, the existence of
this proposed pipeline would in no way diminish the potential for
the greenway.
It is recognized, however, that some secondary impact may
be made if and when agricultural and forest land located inside
the drainage basin is developed as commercial or residential pro-
perty as.a result of the availability of the sanitary sewer. The
two major tracts that might fall into this category are the
Bowles and Hubbard tracts.
' -11-
As previously noted, the Bowles property is zoned.so as to
permit a combination of residential, office, and commercial uses
and is currently advertised for sale. It has major highway access
and very likely will be developed with or without this proposed
project. The overall result would be much more desirable with
the availability of the sanitary sewer which this project will
provide. The same is probably true for the Hubbard property in
the long run although the owners are adamant in their stated re-
solve to maintain it in its present state.
D. Areas of Archeological or Historical,Value
Official advice has been received from the N.C. Department
of Cultural Resources, Division of Archives and History that there
are no known sites of architectural, historic, or archeological
significance which would be affected by this project.
E. Air Quality
It is not expected that the construction of this project will
result in any significant long term effects on air quality. Some
short term effects resulting from dust and equipment engine ex-
hausts will occur during the construction period. Restoration and
production of a permanent ground cover which will be required un-
der the Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan should very quickly
eliminate any occurrence of dust after construction is accomplished.
F. Groundwater Quality
Construction of the proposed project will not only provide a
public sanitary sewer collection system for future development
within the Persimmon Creek drainage basin, but equally important,
if not more so, it will enable the replacement of existing septic
tanks, especially those that are already in a failed condition,
with connection to a sanitary sewer. In time, all of the exist-
ing septic tanks will be phased out. The result will be an enor-
mous beneficial impact on the quality of groundwater in the area.
No adverse impact will occur as a result of this project.
G. Noise Level
There obviously will be some noise generated by construction
equipment and activity, but only during the time of construction
of the project. This equipment noise will be mitigated by the
buffering effect of the line of forest that will remain undis-
turbed between the construction right-of-way and most of the ex-
-12-
isting dwellings along the project route. Any adverse impact
caused by noise from the construction work will be quite minimal
and of temporary duration.
H. Water Supplies
This proposed project will have no effect on water supplies
either during construction nor after completion. Water is cur-
rently furnished to Murray Fork, Ponderosa, and Summerhill Sub-
divisions by the City of Fayetteville Public Works Commission.
Main distribution lines have been installed along both Morganton
Road and Yadkin Road designed to provide service to an area that
includes the entire Persimmon.Creek Basin.
I. Aquatic Life
Persimmon Creek is of such small size that it is of litter
or no significance as a habitat for fish. Approved sedimentation
and erosion control measures will be enforced to afford effective
protection from siltation throughout the construction process
and the habitat for aquatic life as it exists will be preserved.
J. Wildlife And Their Habitats
The predominate plant and vegetation species encountered
along the route of the proposed project has been previously de-
scribed in this document. No inventory of animal species or pop-
ulation has been made, however, it may be assumed that species
ordinarily found in similar habitats within this region also are
present here. Information has been received from the N.C. De-
partment of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division
of Parks and Recreation that there are no known records of rare,
threatened, or endangered species in the vicinity of the pro-
posed project.
Land clearing necessary for the construction of the pipe-
line will obviously result in temporary loss of some understory
habitat and the permanent loss of a small portion of the larger
tree habitats. After the-permanent revegetation matures,, it is
anticipated that any reduction of wildlife population will be„
quite minimal and temporary.
K. Introduction Of Toxic Substances
As appears in detail elsewhere in this document, the existing
overflow of raw sewage from non-functioning septic tanks is a
-13-
real and ever present threat to the Persimmon Creek wetland
corridor. Also, the potential will exist during the construction
period for fuel overflows from construction equipment.
This proposed pipeline, when completed, will provide the
means to permanently eliminate the hazard of sewage flow into the
Creek system. The potential danger from construction activities
is, of course, temporary and will be minimized by the inclusion
in the construction documents of specific language to define pro-
cedures to prevent spillage from equipment fueling and servicing
operations within the project boundaries.
L. Eutrophication Of Receiving Waters
As previously described herein, raw domestic wastewater,
flowing through failed septic tanks, or by-passing them altogether,
is being discharged directly into the Persimmon Creek wetland
fringe. The construction of this proposed sewer pipeline will
provide a permanent means for the proper collection and disposal
of sewage generated within this watershed, and will eliminate
health threatening situations that are now commonplace.
M. Stream Relocations
In order to serve the entire drainage basin, this proposed
sanitary sewer pipeline must, in some instances, be located in ®? 'k
generally close proximity to Persimmon Creek. A 30 foot wide.
permanent easement with an additional 15 foot wide temporary con-
struction easement on each side, for a total construction right- L
of-way width of 60 feet, will be provided. At completion, the OV3
ground surface will be restored as nearly as practicable to its
original contour and a permanent vegetative ground cover will be
provided.
Removal of trees and other vegetation above the ground sur-
face will occur over the entire 60 foot construction right-of-way.
Grubbing and excavation will not be permitted beyond 20 feet on
either side of the pipe centerline. The total area subject to
clearing will be approximately 11 acres. The total area subject
to grubbing and excavation will be approximately 7.5 acres.
No permanent relocations of Persimmon Creek will be made under
this proposed project. Every effort has been made to locate the
pipe centerline as far as feasible from the Creek. Limiting fac-
-14-
tors to the available :separ_at1oxx include the steep slopes that
border the creekbottom plain and the proximity of existing resi-
dential development. Additionally, Persimmon Creek, in certain
locations, meanders severely and obviously changes course over
time. In certain instances, the combined effects of the several
constraining factors make it necessary to cross the streambed.
All such crossings will be performed as temporary measures and
in compliance with the approved Sedimentation and Erosion Control
Plan. The stream flowline will be returned to its original location.

MITIGATIVE MEASURES
There are certain minor adverse environmental consequences
associated with pipeline construction that cannot be completely
avoided. These inherent nuisances include increased traffic
necessary for the delivery of construction equipment and material
and the daily commuting of personnel to the project site, equip-
ment engine noise and exhausts, slight dust pollution from equip-
ment operation, and some minor erosion and siltation. Although
unpleasant, these conditions are temporary and can be controlled
to a degree by careful design and the specification of, and insist-
ence upon, good construction practices. Further, by the com-
pletion of this proposed project, these temporary adverse effects
will be compensated for many times over by the elimination of the
existing pollution of Persimmon Creek by sewage from ineffective
septic tank systems. Even more importantly the potential for
such pollution in the future will also be eliminated.
A. Wetlands
In order to achieve a satisfactorily stable foundation on
which to support the installed pipeline a bed of crushed stone
aggregate of uniform depth as specified will be constructed. The
use of additional s-t authorized in instances in which
more extensive and potentially more disruptive excavation may
thereby be avoided.._, This practice has proven highly effective as
a mitigative measure under such.conditions.
17 T reas of abundance of subterranean moisture, there can de-
velop an underground flow pattern, downslope, through the newly
excavated and backfilled trench area. As a preventive to this
phenomenon anti-seepage devices, constructed of concrete or-se-
lected native soil with highly impervious characteristics will be
constructed across the trench cross section. The stone pipe bed
is omitted for a specified distance on each side of the barrier.
Such anti-seepage collars or barriers will be spaced at specified
intervals dependent upon site conditions.
Offsite disposal of down timber and other construction debris
will be required.

-16-
B. Air Quality
The single potential impact on Air Quality is the short term
effect of dust from construction equipment. Since, over most of
the project route, the construction activity will occur in or ad-
jacent to the flood plain in soils with an abundance of moisture,
dust problems will tend to be naturally diminished. If dust
generation should become a significant nuisance during construc-
tion, periodic watering can be conducted.
C. Groundwater Quality
The proposed pipeline will be constructed with pipe having
compression gasketed joints. Passage of water either way through
the joints will be practically non-existent. The completed pro-
ject will enhance the quality of both surface and subsurface
water by the elimination of septic tanks.
D. Sedimentation And Erosion Control
A Sedimentation and Erosion Control plan will be submitted
to and approved by the Land Quality Section. The approved plan
will be made a part of the Contract Documents and its implemen-
tation will be strictly enforced during the entire construction
process.
E. Introduction Of Toxic Substances
The imposition of strict material handling and safety pro-
cedures, with particular reference to fueling and lubricating
operations, will minimize the likelihood of introduction of
these toxic substances into the project area. Transfer points
will be located sufficiently distant from the Creek and its trib-
utaries in order to facilitate the containment of an accidental
spill. Leaking equipment will be removed and repaired to proper
condition prior to reuse. Emergency spill and clean-up equipment
will be readily available during construction. Contaminated soils
will.be removed and disposed of properly.
No spillage of sewage will occur during construction of the
proposed project since no connection of influent sewers is in-
cluded in this project.
F. Vegetation And Ground Surfaces
The disposition of all trees and other vegetation removed
from the right-of-way will be the responsibility of the Contractor.
-17-
He will be encouraged to sell all mechantable timber. Offsite
disposal of brush, laps, stumps, roots, and other such items must
be made in an approved disposal facility. Burying vegetation on-
site will not be permitted. Burning must comply with all appli-
cable laws and regulations.
Existing trees and other vegetation beyond the authorized
construction limits will be clearly marked by flagging or appro-
priate barricades to afford protection during construction.
All disturbed areas will be restored to their original grade
and contours and a permanent ground cover will be provided.

RE: EA-Scoping for Proposed Extension of the Persimmon Creek Interceptor
Sanitary Sewer in Cumberland County
Dear Mr. Collie:
Reference your letter of August 14, 1992, concerning the above proposed
project. We have the following comments:
1. It appears that some impact will occur to woodland.
2. The EA should contain the following -
a. The total forest land acreage that would be removed as a result
of this project.
=b. A description of the various timber types that would be
involved within the project.
C. The productivity of the forest soils as indicated by the soil
series that would be involved within the proposed project.
mod. The impact upon existing greenways within the area of....the
proposed project. _..
e. The provisions that the contractor will take to sell any
merchantable timber that is to be removed. This practice is
encouraged to minimize the need for piling and burning during
construction. If any burning is needed, the contractor should
comply with all laws and regulations pertaining to debris burning.

f. The provisions that the contractor will take during the
construction phase to prevent erosion, sedimentation and
construction damage to forest land outside the right-of-way and
construction limits. Trees outside construction limits should
be protected from construction activities to avoid:
(1) Skinning of tree trunks by machinery.
(2) Soil compaction and root exposure or injury by heavy
equipment.
(3) Adding layers of fill dirt over the root systems of trees,
a practice that impairs root aeration.
(4) Accidental spilling of petroleum products or other
damaging substances over the root systems of trees.
3. After the project is completed, it is anticipated that development
will increase in the area thus causing a further reduction in
r woodland acres. This future impact should be addressed in the EA.

Dear Mr. Collie:
I have received your letter.dated August 14, 1992,
concerning the preparation of an Environmental Assessment on the
extension of the Persimmon Creek Interceptor Sanitary Sewer. It
appears from the information submitted that an erosion and
sedimentation control plan will be required for this project.
Erosion and sedimentation control should be addressed in your
planned Environmental Assessment.
An erosion and sediment control plan for this project must
be submitted to our Fayetteville Regional Office for approval
prior to commencing this project. You may contact our Regional
Engineer, Joe Glass at [phone] to discuss what will be
required in that plan. Mr. Glass may also have specific items
that may need to be addressed in the Environmental Assessment.
If we can be of additional assistance, feel free to contact
us.

Subject: Persimmon Creek Sewer Line Environmental Document
City of Fayetteville
Cumberland County
Dear Mr. Collie:

r'
r'
The Public Works Commission of the City of Fayetteville wishes
to construct the Persimmon Creek Sewer Line. to help enhance the
environment through connecting failing septic tanks to a municipal.
treatment plant. Due to the scope of the project, you have been
informed of the need for an environmental document. It is DEM's
understanding that an Environmental Assessment (EA) will be
submitted for state review. Based on the comments received after
the Department's review of the EA, a decision will be made on
whether to file a Finding of No'Significant Impact (FONSI,)• or to
require the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement.
The, Water Quality Section of DEM would like to see a
comparison of the following alternatives in the EA: 1) a no build
alternative; 2) an alternative with forced mains; 3) the corridor
proposed in the 1970's and; 4) the alternative proposed by the COE
and DEM on September 9, 1992. We are most interested in the
reduction of the loss of valuable wetland reso>>rces and surface
water uses, but recommend that the comparison evaluate all of.the
following issues:'
a) changes in land use
b) wetlands
c) prime or unique agricultural lands
d) public lands such as parks (state, federal or local)
e) scenic and recreational areas
f) areas of archeological or historical value
g) . air quality .

In addition, the document should describe the methods to mitigate
or avoid significant adverse impacts. Wetland mitigation should
follow Section 404(b)(1) guidelines of the C1ean'Water Act. One
possible wetland mitigation measure for the sewer line within the
wetlands may be the use of anti-seep collars.
We recognize that the costs of the various alternatives are an
important factor to consider in reviewing the EA and recommend the
inclusion of that information in the document. If you have any
questions, please feel free to contact me at [phone] or Mr.
