TO: John Dorney

Division of Environmental Management
FROM: Dennis L. Stewart, Manager 47- li4p 1'c 4L'-?
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: April 1, 1993
SUBJECT: Division of Environmental Management 401 Water Quality
Certification Review (193195) for the Town of Angier,
Harnett County, North Carolina.
Biologists on the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC) staff have completed a review of the proposed
project and evaluated possible impacts on fisheries, wildlife,
and wetland resources in the project area. Our 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.), Section 401-b of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (as amended)
and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.).
The applicant, the Town of Angier, is requesting 401
certification to excavate 6.3 ac of 404 wooded wetlands adjacent
to West Buies Creek, Black River, and the Cape Fear River in
Harnett County near Angier. The purpose of the project is
installation of force mains and sanitary sewer line interceptors
associated with construction of a new 0.5 MGD advanced secondary
wastewater treatment facility. 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 from sedimentation and
turbidity on fisheries and wetland resources in and adjacent to
all receiving waters.
We have determined that the proposed work is inconsistent
with our Policies and Guidelines for Conservation of Wetlands and
Aquatic Habitat. As noted during previous correspondence (see EA
attachment), we initially recommended a construction window of
September 1 to January 1 to minimize potential negative impacts
Af MEMO TO: John Dorney Page 2 April 1, 1993
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 affect 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 during low water and therefore all work should be
suspended from March 1 to July 15, unless documentation can be
provided indicating specific construction activities will not
release appreciable amounts of sediment and turbidity. We would
have no objections to the proposed project provided the
contractor strictly adheres to Best Management Practices for
construction activities on the project area and all proposed
construction activities occur during the period of July 15 to
March 1.
We do not necessarily concur with that component of the
proposed mitigation in the Environmental Assessment concerned
with tree plantings. Our comments stated that a plant community
successional stage should be reestablished on disturbed areas
that would lead to habitat of equal or greater value over time
than habitat prior to disturbance. Apparently, someone has
determined that 22 mast producing trees per acre is adequate.
However, we have not seen documentation regarding habitat
quality, nor have we seen a mitigation plan providing the level
of detail that would be required. Consequently, we can neither
refute nor confirm the adequacy of the proposed mitigation.
Since development of an acceptable mitigation plan can be done
concurrently with construction and should not result in project
delays, we believe that it is necessary to formalize such a plan.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this
application. If we can provide further assistance, please
contact NCWRC Habitat Conservation Program Manager Dennis L.
Stewart at 919-528-9886 or 919-752-3270.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY
Joint Application for Nationwide Permit #12
Attachment A
The force main from the existing wastewater treatment facility (WWTF) to the gravity
interceptor sewer is located adjacent to an existing sewer line and roads. The force main from
the proposed WWTF to the Cape Fear River is located in wetlands for approximately 1,000
FT to avoid a closed out landfill and then is located adjacent to roads for approximately 5.5
miles. The force main is located in wetlands for approximately 300 feet prior to the Cape
Fear River as shown on Sheet C5. The wetlands shown on Sheet C5 appear to have been
created by an access road crossing and could not be avoided due to the width of the
wetlands.
The gravity interceptor sewer is mainly located within the wetlands. The gravity sewer is
required to be located near the low point in the watershed in order to serve the area by
gravity. The wetlands are wide as shown on the enclosed plans and stated in the
environmental assessment and the ground rises considerably outside the wetland area.
Locating the gravity interceptor sewer outside the wetlands would have been cost prohibitive
due to the increase in depth of the sewer. The interceptor sewer was determined to be the
most cost effective means of serving the area in the future.
Mitigation measures will be taken to minimize impacts to the wetlands during construction
and in the future. The mitigation measures during construction will be the following:
o Installation of sediment and erosion control measures;
o Location of the interceptor sewer from the stream;
o Minimum stream crossings;
o Minimum clearing and grubbing; and
o Compliance with conditions of the Nationwide Permit #12.
The sediment and erosion control measures were located to minimize the amount of
sediment which may enter the stream during construction. The interceptor sewer was located
at least fifty (50) feet from the stream where possible. The interceptor sewer crosses the
stream three (3) times. Two (2) of the crossings are due to a farm pond and adjacent farm
land which prohibited the interceptor sewer from being located on the east side of West
Buies Creek. The third crossing is required to move the interceptor sewer to the west side of
the stream in order to connect with an existing road. The plans require the contractor to
clear and grub only twenty (20) feet to install the interceptor sewer and up to forty (40) feet
if needed. The Contractor is required to obtain approval from the Owner prior to clearing
outside the initial twenty (20) feet. Additional mitigation measures are included in the
Nationwide Permit #12, such as the placement of 6 to 12 inches of parent material at the top
of the trench and to existing grades.
The mitigation measures in the future include the planting of 17 trees per acre of swamp
tupelo and 5 trees per acre of waste oak within the construction easement. The Town of
Angier will also be including a "No Tap" policy in the sewer ordinance which will prohibit
developments which construct within the floodplain to use the WWTF. In addition, the Town
of Angier will maintain only ten (10) feet of the twenty (20) feet easement within the wetland
areas for access.

Environmental Assessment Response
Dear Ms. Sullins:
I appreciate the opportunity to have attended the meeting
with the interested parties involving the Town of Angier's
plans for a resolution to their wastewater treatment
problems. The meeting was very informative for me both in
regards to the issues for the Town of Angier, but also as
related to future processing preapplications for financial
assistance and the State Review Process.
I have attached herewith a copy of the engineer's response
to the comments from the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission and the Division of Environmental Management who
were respondents to the EA. All of the issues raised by the
respondents with the exception of the alternative for
treatment selected are addressed in the engineer's letter.
The issue regarding the mitigation measures to be employed
to restore disturbed wetlands, mast producing trees, does
pose a difference in apparent views as to what is necessary
and reasonable as related to restoration. Farmers Home
Administration's view is that restoration of disturbed
wetland areas should be in conformance with the Corps of
Engineer's mitigation requirements under the GC 12, the EA
mitigation measures for restoration as noted in REPORT TO
N.C. DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT (prepared as a
part of the Harnett County Regional Wastewater Treatment
Facility plan), dated April 9, 1991, prepared by Robert J.
Goldstien & Associates, and a part of the FmHA EA, and the
mitigation measures noted in the FmHA EA. The point of
difference in the comments expressed by the Division of
Environmental Management and the mitigation measures in the
EA relate to number to tree plantings. The planting scale
indicated in the FmHA EA appear in conformance with the COE
mitigation of disturbed areas, and were apparently
acceptable as included in the mitigation measures in the
Goldstien EA. FmHA would hold with the mitigation measures
for mast producing tree plantings within the scale noted in
the EA.

is the issue relative to the alternative selected and
whether any other alternative is feasible that would result
in a non-discharge.

Dear Mr. McLamb:
The following is a response to the comments from various North Carolina state
agencies during the North Carolina State Clearinghouse Review concerning the
Environmental Assessment for the Town of Angier Wastewater Treatment Facility.
1. Agency - North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission
a. The sewer line has been located approximately 50-feet from the
stream bank where possible and the number of stream crossings have
been minimized.
b. The plans require the Contractor to clear and grub only 20-feet for
the construction of the sewer. However, if the sewer can not be
built within- the 20-feet, the Contractor can clear- up to 40-feet.
This policy is consistent with the COE General Permit No. 12.
C. The chlorination and dechlorination will have a back up system.
The Town of Angier is considering ultra violet light disinfection
instead of chlorine. However, a decision has not been made at this
time.
d. Proposed construction will not be able to be limited between
September 1 and January 1. The construction schedule currently
anticipated is as follows:
Gravity Sewer and Force Main: 7-25-93 to 7-25-94
Wastewater Treatment Plant: 7-25-93 to 7-25-94
The project will incorporate appropriate erosion sediment and
erosion controls and is required to have a sediment and erosion
control permit prior to construction. The sediment and erosion
controls will minimize the amount of sediment into the receiving
waters.
7. Agency - Division of Environmental Management,
a. The Town of Angier has submitted an Amendment to the existing SOC
to include the option of constructing a new Wastewater Treatment
Facility.

b. The Town of-Angier will adopt the-"no tap" policy. This is part of
the Farmers Home Administration letter of conditions which has been
agreed to by the Town of Angier.
c. The 320 tree plantings per acre is the DEM Policy for creating new
wetlands. The 22 tree plantings per acre in the FmHA EA were
recommended to minimize impacts to existing wetlands, not create
wetlands. The 22 tree plantings per acre along with the conditions
set forth in the COE General Permit No. 12 should minimize the
impacts to wetlands without creating unreasonable hardship to the
project.
The Town of Angier and Dewberry & Davis appreciate the opportunity to respond to
the North Carolina State Clearinghouse comments. The comments from the various
state agencies are generally reasonable and the current project incorporates
most of the concerns raised. The Town of Angier encourages FmHA to maintain the
current project mitigation plans recommended by FmHA.
If you have any questions or require additional information please do not
hesitate to call.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY
Joint Application for Nationwide Permit #12
Attachment A
The force main from the existing wastewater treatment facility (WWTF) to the gravity
interceptor sewer is located adjacent to an existing sewer line and roads. The force main from
the proposed WWTF to the Cape Fear River is located in wetlands for approximately 1,000
FT to avoid a closed out landfill and then is located adjacent to roads for approximately 5.5
miles. The force main is located in wetlands for approximately 300 feet prior to the Cape
Fear River as shown on Sheet C5. The wetlands shown on Sheet C5 appear to have been
created by an access road crossing and could not be avoided due to the width of the
wetlands.
The gravity interceptor sewer is mainly located within the wetlands. The gravity sewer is
required to be located near the low point in the watershed in order to serve the area by
gravity. The wetlands are wide as shown on the enclosed plans and stated in the
environmental assessment and the ground rises considerably outside the wetland area.
Locating the gravity interceptor sewer outside the wetlands would have been cost prohibitive
due to the increase in depth of the sewer. The interceptor sewer was determined to be the
most cost effective means of serving the area in the future.
Mitigation measures will be taken to minimize impacts to the wetlands during construction
and in the future. The mitigation measures during construction will be the following:
o Installation of sediment and erosion control measures;
o Location of the interceptor sewer from the stream;
o Minimum stream crossings;
o Minimum clearing and grubbing; and
o Compliance with conditions of the Nationwide Permit #12.
The sediment and erosion control measures were located to minimize the amount of
sediment which may enter the stream during construction. The interceptor sewer was located
at least fifty (50) feet from the stream where possible. The interceptor sewer crosses the
stream three (3) times. Two (2) of the crossings are due to a farm pond and adjacent farm
land which prohibited the interceptor sewer from being located on the east side of West
Buies Creek. The third crossing is required to move the interceptor sewer to the west side of
the stream in order to connect with an existing road. The plans require the contractor to
clear and grub only twenty (20) feet to install the interceptor sewer and up to forty (40) feet
if needed. The Contractor is required to obtain approval from the Owner prior to clearing
outside the initial twenty (20) feet. Additional mitigation measures are included in the
Nationwide Permit # 12, such as the placement of 6 to 12 inches of parent material at the top
of the trench and to existing grades.
The mitigation measures in the future include the planting of 17 trees per acre of swamp
tupelo and 5 trees per acre of waste oak within the construction easement. The Town of
Angier will also be including a "No Tap" policy in the sewer ordinance which will prohibit
developments which construct within the floodplain to use the WWTF. In addition, the Town
of Angier will maintain only ten (10) feet of the twenty (20) feet easement within the wetland
areas for access.
