Dear Ms. Telis:

1 ?

This report formalizes the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's
(Service) preliminary recommendations provided during our on-site
investigation on March 22, 1994, for the proposed Johnston County
Water Treatment Plant near Wilsons Mills, Johnston County, North
Carolina. These comments are provided in accordance with the
provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401
as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.) and Section 7 of the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543).
The March 22 site visit included Mr. Tim Broome and yourself from
McKim and Creed, Mr. David Yow from the North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission (WRC), Mr. Charley Musser of Sungate Design
Group, Mr. Haywood Phthisic from the Johnston County Department of
Public Utilities, and Service biologist Ms. Kate Looney. The
entire length of the water treatment project was walked starting
from the proposed raw water intake and pump station site adjacent
to the Neuse River, to the surface water and raw water retainment
areas, and concluding at the proposed water treatment plant site.
The site visit also included the proposed transmission main from
the Jones Brothers water tank around the Channel Master plant to
State Road 2301 in Selma.
Because the majority of the proposed site for the water treatment
plant and the water retainment areas have been previously
disturbed, the Service believes that these portions of the project
will have minimal adverse impacts. At the time of the visit,
wetland delineation had not yet been complete. We request that the
Environmental Assessment include the acreage of all wetland
impacts, as well as maps of their location, and the proposed plans
to mitigate any unavoidable wetland losses. Wetland mitigation
should be on a habitat value basis.
During the on-site investigation, the placement of the pump station
and water intake structures were discussed. The Service recommends
that the water intake structure be placed in the Neuse River as
opposed to within the intermittent drainage to the Neuse River. We
believe that the original proposal of constructing a dike along the
a
river bank for water collection would be more destructive than
placing -the intake structure instream. We recommend the pump
station be placed on either of the upland areas adjacent to the
intermittent drainage. We believe that the proposed water intake
structure and pump station can be constructed with few impacts to
riparian habitat and the Neuse River by using proper erosion
control techniques and maintaining a vegetative buffer between the
pump station and the Neuse River. During construction of these
structures, we recommend that all equipment and machinery be kept
out of the vegetative buffer area.
We understand that the actual sites for the pump station,
maintenance road and water pipe line have not yet been determined.
Therefore, we believe that potential environmental impacts can be
reduced by placing these portions of the project appropriately as
to preserve large, mature trees.
The Service believes that the proposed transmission main which is
to begin at the Jones Brothers water tank, cross Interstate 95 and
ultimately follow State Road 2301 can be installed with little
adverse environmental impacts. Additional disturbance in the area
could be reduced by utilizing the existing power line right-of-way
or the area surrounding the Channel Master parking lot; however we
do not anticipate having any major concerns regarding this portion
of the project. We would like to reiterate that all wetland
impacts as well as proposed mitigation should be included in the
Environmental Assessment. Further, the Service reserves the right
to provide more detailed comments on the need, if any, for wetland
mitigation dependent upon the results of the wetland jurisdictional
determination.
Based on the site visit, and our own additional information, the
Service believes that the proposed project is not likely to
adversely affect any Federally-listed endangered or threatened
species. Therefore, the requirements of Section 7 of the Act have
been satisfied. However, obligations under Section 7 of the Act
must be reconsidered if: (1) new information reveals impacts of
this identified action that may affect listed species or critical
habitat in a manner not previously considered; (2) this action is
subsequently modified in a manner which was not considered in the
document; or, (3) a new species is listed or critical habitat
determined that may be affected by the identified action.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide comments on the proposed
project and we look forward to reviewing the Final Environmental
Assessment. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Kate
Looney of this office.
Sincerely,
LX

PUBLIC NOTICE
JOHNSTON COUNTY, •C/O MR. RICHARD B. SELF, COUNTY MANAGER, POST OFFICE BOX
1049, SMITHFIELD, NORTH CAROLINA 27577, has applied for a Department of the
Army (DA) permit TO AUTHORIZE THE EXCAVATION AND DISCHARGE OF FILL MATERIAL
ASSOCIATED WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF A 93-FOOT-LONG, 12-FOOT HIGH RETAINING
WALL WITH FOUR TEE-TYPE INTAKE SCREENS TO EFFECT THE INSTALLATION OF A RAW
WATER INTAKE STRUCTURE, WITHIN THE NEUSE RIVER, FOR THE NEW JOHNSTON COUNTY
WATER TREATMENT FACILITY, ON THE NORTHEAST SIDE' OF S.R. 1912, APPROXIMATELY
0.9 MILE EAST OF WILSON MILLS, Johnston County, North Carolina.
The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the
applicant and from observations made during a site visit by a representative
of the Corps of Engineers. Plans submitted with the application show that
0.04 acre of jurisdictional waters of the United States will be impacted by
the proposed project. An area 95 feet long by 21 feet wide, extending 14 feet
waterward of the existing bank, will be excavated to a depth of 2 feet below
the river bottom for the construction of the 93-foot-long, 12 foot high
retaining wall. Approximately 37 cubic yards of material will be removed for
the installation of the retaining wall, tee screen and pipes, and steel
deflectors. Approximately 53 cubic yards of concrete will be discharged below
the plane of ordinary high water to construct the retaining wall and casing
for the steel pipes that support the floating debris deflectors. The
retaining wall will be constructed along the edge of the existing riverbank,
extending out 16 inches into the river. The proposed tee screens will extend
out another 3 feet (maximum) beyond the wall. Eight 15-foot long steel pipes
will be buried a minimum of 3 feet deep, approximately 9 1/2 feet from the
river bank, for the construction of the floating debris deflectors. The
retaining wall will be constructed with four tee-type intake screens mounted
to sliding rails along the outside face of the wall and connected to a 20-inch
diameter pipe that leads to the water treatment facility. All excavated
materials will be transported to a high ground spoil disposal site on the
property approved by the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and
Natural Resources, Division of Environmental Management, Land Quality Section.
Seventy-five cubic yards of Class II Rip-Rip will be utilized to stabilize the
river bank for a distance of 50 linear feet on either side of the retaining
wall.
The site consists of a typical upper coastal plain riverine system,
characterized by a central stream channel with adjacent floodplains on either
side of the-river. The site of the proposed retaining wall is currently
4
I
red along the bluff of the river bank with the majority of the work to
r within the river. The average depth of the river at the proposed intake
7-ture is 5 feet. The area adjacent to the proposed.retaining wall is
scterized as high ground vegetated with loblolly pine (Pinus taeda),
gum (Liquidambar styraciflua), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera),
maple (Acer rubrum), white oak (Quercus alba), flowering dogwood (Cornus
ida), black cherry (Prunus serotina), American holly (Ilex opaca),
Lean elm (Ulmus Americana), bitternut hickory (Carya cordiformis), wild
s (Vitas rotundifolia), honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), and greenbrier
Lax rotundifolia)I.
The purpose of the work is to provide facilities for the extraction of
cater from the Neuse River to be treated and used as the potable water
Ly for Johnston County. Plans showing the work are included with this
is notice.
The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine
teed for the applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No DA
it will be issued until the coordinated State viewpoint on the proposal
)een received and reviewed by this agency, nor will 'a DA permit be issued
the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM) has
:mined the applicabilitv of a water Quality Certificate as required by PL
)0.
This application,, is be..ng considered pursuant to Section 10 of the River
iarbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 403) and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act
J.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within the comment
>d specified in this notice, that a public hearing be held to consider
application. Requests for public hearing shall state, with
_cularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing.
The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the
>nal Register of Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered
!rties, or properties listed as being eligible for inclusion therein, and
site is not registered property or property listed as being eligible for
:sion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register constitutes
-xtent of cultural resource investigations by the District Engineer, and
; otherwise unaware of the presence of such resources. Presently, unknown
-ological, scientific, prehistorical, or historical data may be lost or
-oyed by work under the requested permit.
The District Engineer, based on available information, is not aware that
roposed activity will affect species, or their critical habitat,
nated as endangered or threatened pursuant to the Endangered Species Act
73.
The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of
robable impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity
is intended use on the public interest. Evaluation of the probable
is which the proposed activity may have on the public interest requires a
2
careful weighing of all those factors which become relevant in each particular
case. The benefits which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the
proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The
decision whether to authorize a proposal, and if so the conditions under which
it will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the outcome of the
general balancing process. That decision should reflect the national concern
for both protection and utilization of important resources. All factors which
may be relevant to the proposal must be considered including the cumulative
effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general
environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values,
flood hazards and flood plain values (in accordance with Executive Order
11988), land use, navigation, shore erosion and accretion, recreation, water
supply and conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber
production, mineral needs, considerations of property ownership, and, in
general, the needs and welfare of the people. For activities involving the
placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of the United States, a
permit will be denied if the discharge that would be authorized by such permit
would not comply with the Environmental Protection Agencies' 404(b)(1)
guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any other applicable
guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless the District Engineer
determines that it would be contrary to the public interest.
The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; Federal,
State and local agencies and officials; Indian Tribes and other interested
parties in order to consider and evaluate the impacts of this proposed
activity. Any comments received will be considered by the Corps of Engineers
to determine whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this
proposal. To make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on
endangered species, historic properties, water quality, general environmental
effects and the other public interest factors listed above. Comments are used
in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment (EA) and/or an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA). Comments are also used to determine the need for a public hearing and
to determine the overall public interest of the proposed activity.
Generally, the decision whether to issue this DA permit will not be made
until the NCDEM issues, denies, or waives State certification required by
Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The NCDEM considers whether or not the
proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the
Clean Water Act. The application and this public notice for the DA permit
serves as application to the NCDEM for certification.
Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be
reviewed at the offices of the Environmental Operations Section, NCDEM,
Salisbury Street, Archdale Building, Raleigh, North Carolina. Copies of such
materials will be furnished to any person requesting copies upon payment of
reproduction costs.
The NCDEM plans to take final action in the issuance of the clean Water
Act certification on or after April 20, 1995.

All persons desiring to make comments regarding the application for Clean
Water Act certification should do so in writing delivered to the North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM), Post Office Box 27687,
Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7687, on or before March 24, 1995), Attention:

Action ID No. 199403971
Mr. John Dorney
Division of Environmental Management
North Carolina Department of
Environment, Health and
Natural Resources
Post Office Box 29535
Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535
Dear Mr. Dorney:
Enclosed is the application of Johnston County for Department of the Army
authorization and a State Water Quality Certification to impact 0.04 acre of
jurisdictional waters of the United States associated with the construction of
the proposed raw water intake structure for the Johnston County's new water
treatment facility on the N.euse River, in Wilson Mills, Johnston County, North
Carolina. Your receipt of this letter verifies your acceptance of a valid
request for certification in accordance with Section 325.2(b)(ii) of our
administrative regulations.
We are considering authorizing the proposed activity pursuant to Section
404 of the Clean Water Act, and we have determined that a water quality
certification is required under the provisions of Section 401 of the same law.
A Department of the Army permit will not be granted until the certification
has been obtained or waived.
In accordance with our administrative regulations, in most cases, 60 days
after receipt of a request for certification is a reasonable time for State
action. Therefore, if you have not acted on the request, or asked for an
extension of time, by May 1, 1995, the District Engineer will deem that waiver
has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mrs. Jean B. Manuele, Raleigh
Field office, telephone [phone], Extension 24.
Sincerely,
Enclosure
