Dear Mr. Diehl:
You have our approval to place fill material in 4.49 acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose
of constructing a sewer line and WWTP at Terrible Creek sewer line and treatment facility, as you
described in your application dated 3 January 1995. After reviewing your application, we have decided
that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Numbers 2664 and 2732. These
certifications allow you to use Nationwide Permit Numbers 12 and 14 when they are issued by the
Corps of Engineers.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If
you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application.
For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification.
Antiseep collars shall be installed along the sewer line at all locations where the line traverses more
than 150 feet of wetlands. Intervals between collars shall not be more than 150 feet. In addition, you
should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory
hearing. You must act within 30 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing,
send a written petition which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the
Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. This certification and
its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Environmental Management under Section 401
of the Clean Water Act. If you have any questions, please telephone John Domey at 919-733-1786.
Sincerely,

This project proposes to impact 4.49 acres of jurisdictional
wetlands. Much of this project parallels the "toe" of Terrible
Creek's bottom. Further, there is clear evidence that efforts
have been made to avoid certain wetland impacts. However, it is
important to understand that this project will impact high quality
wetlands with significant function.

US Army Corps of Engineers
Attn: Mr. Eric Alsmeyer
6512 Falls of the Neuse Rd, Suite 105
Raleigh, NC 27615-6846
The purpose of this letter is to request Nationwide Permits 12 and 14, and a
Section 401 Water Quality Certification for the project to be known as Terrible
Creek Sewerline and Treatment Facility. The project is located near Fuquay-
Varina, NC (Wake County) and parallels Terrible Creek as shown on the
enclosed plans and Fuquay-Varina, N.C. and Angier, N.C. USGS Topo Quads.
The Corps approved wetland delineation, within the project corridor, is shown
on the attached maps. The delineations of impact areas has been approved by
Mr. Eric Alsmeyer of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Wetlands were revised
(re-delineated) along sections of the sewerline that were realigned (as per
attached maps).
Impacts to wetlands will be required to construct municipal sewerhnes and a
wastewater treatment facility.
It will be necessary to impact a total of 4.49 acres (see maps) of jurisdictional
wetlands: 1.74 acres above headwaters and 2.75 acres below headwaters for
placement of the proposed utility lines and treatment facility. Wetlands below
the dam at Johnson's Pond are below headwaters. Impacts were calculated by
pulling tape the length of the wetland, and multiplying the length by a 40 foot
sewer corridor. Wetlands excavated under Nationwide Permit 12 will be
returned to grade. Endangered species concerns were addressed by the NC
Wildlife Commission staff (see attached letter).
To expedite the permitting process and to make "life easier" on everyone
involved, the following individuals/agencies have been provided with a
complete copy of this entire application package: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
National Marine Fisheries, N.C. Cultural Resources, Danny Smith (DEM) and
David Franklin (Wilmington Corps).

Please call if you have questions or require further information. If you intend to
perform a site visit please call and we will arrange for someone to accompany
you.

Dear Mr. Keith:
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission has
completed a survey for the dwarf wedge mussel (Alasmidonts
heterodon), a federally proposed endangered species possibly
present in Terrible Creek, Wake County, North Carolina. The
following are results of the survey in areas where the dwarf
wedge mussel had a higher probability of occurring:
1. From the Southern Railway bridge on Terrible Creek
up to highway 401, habitat is relatively good for
mussels. A relatively fast flowing current exists over
an essentially sand / gravel / cobble substrate
throughout this segment of Terrible Creek. Three
species were found: eastern elliptio (Elliptio
complansta), variable spike (Elliptio icterina), and
the eastern floater (Anodonta cataracts). All three
species are considered both state and globally secure.
2. From the Southern Railway bridge to an area near
the confluence of Terrible and Middle creeks, the
stream loses much of its velocity and the substrate
becomes dominated by sands and silts. The eastern
elliptio, variable spike, and eastern floater are found
in this stream segment; however, fewer live individuals
are present here.
3. Upstream from highway 401 in Terrible Creek, the
creek appears to be impacted from heavy sediment
loading. No live mussels were found; however, many
shells of recently dead eastern floaters and variable
spikes were present. These species are often found in

Mr. Alan Keith, P. E.
November 7, 1989
Page Two
areas degraded by sedimentation; therefore, the
apparent die-off of these species in this area of
Terrible Creek cannot be explained.
4. In an area immediately below Johnson's Pond in
Terrible Creek, no live mussels, shells, or shell
fragments were found. Habitat was good and consisted
of coarse sands, gravel, and some cobble. At least a
few eastern elliptios could be expected in the pools
and other good habitats in this area.
As a result of this survey, I cbnsider it unlikely that the
dwarf wedge mussel is currently present in Terrible Creek.
However, this species was found by U. S. Fish & Wildlife
Service biologists in the recent past in Middle Creek.
Because Terrible Creek is a tributary of Middle Creek, it is
important that cumulative impacts from the construction and
operation of the Fuquay-Varina WWTP are carefully
controlled. In addition to careful control of
sedimentation, Diehl & Phillips, P.A. should limit chlorine
input into Terrible Creek. Either dechlortnation (with a
backup dechlorinator) or ultraviolet effluent processing
would be helpful. Also, impacts to wetlands should be
carefully controlled. Some of these wetlands are unusually
large relative to Terrible Creek's size.
Please contact the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission if we can be of further assistance. We
appreciate Diehl & Phillips' willingness to cooperate in
this endeavor to conserve North Carolina's native species.

Dear Mr. Alsmeyer and Mr. Dorney:
The purpose of this letter is to advise you of a revised sewermain alignment for
the project known as Terrible Creek Sewerline and Treatment Facility. The
revision results in no change in wetland impacts, the realignment is shown on
the attached map. The project is located near Fuquay-Varina, NC (Wake
County) and parallels Terrible Creek as shown on the enclosed plans and
Fuquay-Varina, N.C. USGS Topo Quad.
The revised alignment is through agricultural lands that are not wetlands. The
proposed alignment will move the sewerline up to 600' from the centerline of
Terrible Creek.
Please contact me if you require additional information or wish to meet and
discuss this matter.
Sincerely,

Kevin C. Martin,
President
