Subject: Town Creek Slope
Stabilization Project
Dear Mr. Chapin:
On February 14, 1995, a meeting was held at the proposed project site for the purpose of
reviewing plans for stabilizing the north bank of Town Creek. We appreciate the opportunity to
review these plans with you.
Over a period of years since the plant was constructed, the City has maintained the slope of the
creek bank. The bank is eroding and roots of trees are exposed. The bank has periodically
slipped into the creek due to erosion. We are of the opinion that clearing the bank and stabilizing
it with rip-rap, as proposed and indicated on the drawings, is in the best interest of the City of
Salisbury and offers the best possibility of long term stabilization of the creek bank.
Sincerely,
A e, - /0?

FROM: Owen Anderson, Piedmont Region Coordinator
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: May 3, 1994
SUBJECT: Environmental Assessment, Town Creek Interceptor Sewer
Influent Pump Station, Salisbury, North Carolina,
Project # 617.
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) has
reviewed the subject document, and our comments are provided in
accordance with provisions of the North Carolina Environmental
Policy Act (G.S. 113A-1 et. seq., as amended; 1 NCAC 25), the
Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16
U.S.C. 661-667d), and Section 201 of the Clean Water Act of 1977
(as amended).
The proposed project involves replacing a 24 inch RCP
interceptor sewer from East Innis Street to the Town Creek
Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) with a 42 inch concrete line.
The new interceptor will parallel the existing line most of the
length. A new influent pump station will be built at Town Creek
WWTP. The document states that around 30 acres of land will be
disturbed which includes approximately 15.5 acres of bottomland
forest, 1.6 acres of upland forest, and 4.79 acres of wetlands.
NCWRC appreciates that the existing pipeline route is being
used where possible, to avoid impacts to undisturbed areas. We
support the use of strict erosion control measures as stated in
the EA. Although direct construction impacts on fish and
wildlife resources are likely to be minimal, NCWRC recommends the
following document revisions to protect the resource:
1. Provide a mitigation plan with specific commitments
to mitigate aquatic habitat impacts at stream
crossings and wetlands. Measures such as corridor
width minimization, perpendicular crossing of
:LU•RC,HCP,FALLS LAKE TEL:[phone]s6y Mdy uJ J4 i JO 111U
Town Creek page 2 May 3, 1994
streams, erosion and sedimentation control, and
restoration of ground cover and wetland/flcodplain
function should be discussed. We recommend a
corridor width of no more than 40 feet. Efforts
should be made to avoid cutting mast producing trees
and den trees. The District 6 Wildlife Biologist
(Ken Knight 704-982-1600) can be contacted for
identification of plant species important to
wildlife.
2. Provide specific information on construction
activities as they relate to possible wetland
impacts. This discussion should include information
on the proposed width of construction and permanent
easements.
3. The 4.79 acres of disturbed wetlands should be
sloped, graded, and restored to original contour and
seeded to an annual small grain such as wheat,
millet, and/or rye. We do not recommend mowing in
wetlands but allow the areas to revert back to a
natural vegetative condition following this initial
stabilization.
4. If concrete encasement is used, wet concrete should
be prevented from entering the streamflow. WeL
concrete is toxic to numerous aquatic organisms and
should be contained until sufficiently cured to
prevent downstream travel.
5. Man-holes located within the 100 year flood plain
should be sealed and vented to prevent floodwater
intrusion and to eliminate sewage escape.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment in the early stages
of this project. If I can further assist your office, please
contact me at [phone].

Erosion and Sedimentation Control
No comment
This project will require approval of an erosion and sedimentation
control plan prior to beginning any land-disturbing activity if more
than one (1) acre will be disturbed.
If an environmental document is required to satisfy Environmental
Policy Act (SEPA) requirements, the document must be submitted as part
of the erosion and sedimentation control plan.
If any portion of the project is located within a High Quality Water
Zone (HQW), as classified by the Division of Environmental Management,
increased design standards for sediment and erosion control will apply.
The erosion and sedimentation control plan required for this project
should be prepared by the Department of Transportation under the
erosion control program delegation to the Division of Highways from the
North Carolina Sedimentation Control Commission.

MEMORANDUM
To: Monica Swihart
Through: John Dorne
From: Eric Galamb-
Subject: EA for Town Creek Interceptor & Influent Pump Station
City of Salisbury
Rowan County
The subject document has been reviewed by this office. The Division of
Environmental Management is responsible for the issuance of the Section 401 Water
Quality Certification for activities which impact 4.79 acres of waters of the state
including wetlands.
Anti-seep collars should be placed at the following station locations to prevent draining
wetlands: 63+75, 94+25, 95+75, 97+25, 100+50, 103+50, 105+00, 106+50, 113+50,
and 116+50.
DEM recommends that annuals be planted within jurisdictional wetlands for soil and
erosion control. The annuals will allow a competitive advantage for wetland species
re-establishment.
The 401 Water Quality Certification could be denied if impacts to wetlands have not
been avoided and minimized to the maximum extent practicable. Questions regarding
the 401 Certification should be directed to Eric Galamb in DEM's Water Quality
Planning Branch.

Comments from Owen Anderson are addressed below:
II. Responses to Comments from Owen Anderson:
1. The mitigative plan is included in the main document
beginning on page 18. Additionally, creeks will be crossed
perpendicularly at all locations possible. A sedimentation and
erosion control plan has been prepared and its approval requested
and received. Ground cover will be restored utilizing a wildlife
seed mixture or other suitable small grain seed. We will utilize
a 40 foot easement (20' permanent and 20' construction) through
all wetland areas. A 50 foot easement (30' permanent and 20'
construction) will be used in all other areas. All trees will be
removed within permanent easement to prevent root intrusion into
sewers. Contractor will be instructed to remove as few trees as
possible in construction easement.
2. Construction in wetlands will be limited to 40 foot
easements as noted above. Sedimentation basins will not be
constructed in wetlands but rather upstream of wetlands in order
to prevent siltation into wetlands. Silt fences can be utilized
to delineate wetlands from areas being disturbed to provide
additional protection.
3. All disturbed land will be sloped, graded and returned
to original contours. Wetlands can be seeded in small annual
grains. Owner will be notified to refrain from mowing in
wetlands.
4. Contractors will be instructed to divert small streams
where sewer crosses and concrete encasements are being proposed.
For large streams, contractors will be instructed to install
concrete encasement across half of stream at a time, allowing free
flowing stream across the other half away from fresh concrete.
5. All manholes within 100-year flood plan have been
designed as sealed and vented.
III. Responses to Division of Land Resources Comments:
A sedimentation and erosion control plan has been prepared.
Approval of said plan has been received. See attached letter in
Appendix I. No portion of the project is located in a High
Quality Water Zone.
IV. Responses to EHNR Checklist Comments:
An NPDES permit is not required because the project is not
changing the permitted capacity of the Town Creek WWTP. A
construction permit will be required. All open burning will be
performed in accordance with 15A NCAC 21 H.0600. The
sedimentation and erosion control plan has been approved. See
Appendix I.
V. Responses to Comments from Eric Galamb:
Anti-seep collars have been designed and noted on the
construction drawings at the requested stations. As noted under
Item 11.3. above, annual small grains will be planted within
jurisdictional wetlands.

RE: LETTER OF APPROVAL
Project Name: Town Creek Interceptor Relocation
Location: East Innes Street - Rowan County
Submitted By: Peirson & Whitman
Date Received: February 7, 1994
New Submittal: X? Revision
Dear Mr. Treme:
This office has reviewed the subject erosion and
sedimentation control plan. We find the plan to be acceptable
and hereby issue this letter of approval.
Please be advised that Title 15 NCAC 4B .0017(a) requires
that a copy of the approved erosion control plan be on file at
the job site. Also, you should consider this letter to give the
Notice required by G.S. 113A-61(d) of our right of periodic
inspection to insure compliance with the approved plan.
North Carolina's Sedimentation Pollution Control Program is
performance oriented, requiring protection of the natural
resources and adjoining properties. If following the
commencement of this project it is determined that the erosion
and sedimentation control plan is inadequate to meet the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973
(North Carolina General Statute 113A-51 thru 66), this office may
require revisions to the plan and implementation of the revisions
to insure compliance with the Act.

Dear Mr. Acquesta:

. i :l. i 1994
, & WHITV.
I am enclosing a memorandum received from the Wildlife
Resources Commission regarding the Environmental Assessment (EA)
for the Town Creek Interceptor Sewer and Influent Pump Station.
The revised EA adequately addresses the previous concerns raised
by the Wildlife Resources Commission during the Department of
Environment, Health, and Natural Resources review of the EA. In
addition, the revisions incorporate the mitigation measures
recommended by our Water Quality Section regarding placement of
anti-seep collars and the planting of annuals for soil and
erosion control.
The document is, therefore, ready to be forwarded to the
State Clearinghouse for review. This letter and attached
memorandum will need to be included in an appendix of the
document we forward to the State Clearinghouse. For your
information the next Clearinghouse submittal deadlines are on
June 17 and July 1. Please submit ten copies of the EA to my
attention and I will prepare a Finding of No Significant Impact
(FONSI) to attach to the documents we send to the State
Clearinghouse for review.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding
this letter.
Sincerely,
