MEMORANDUM
FROM: Michael Wolfe
DATE: July 26, 1994
SUBJECT: Hanes Mill Landfill
Standard Environmental Review
Project No. 00162-080-018
Forsyth County, North Carolina is proposing an expansion of their Hanes Mill Landfill
operations. In consideration of the potential for environmental impact due to such expansion,
you and I discussed the project and scheduled a field review of the site. Prior to our visit to the
landfill I contacted the Natural Heritage Program (NHP) of the North Carolina Department of
Environment, Health and Natural Resources to obtain records of rare, threatened or endangered
species in the vicinity of the project. The NHP had no such records of occurrence near the
landfill, but they did provide a list of threatened and endangered (T&E) species known to occur
in Forsyth County. The species listed were: bog turtle (Clemmys muhlenbergia), bog rose
(Arethusa bulbosa), small-anthered bittercress (Cardamine micranthera), yellow fringeless orchid
(Platanthera Integra), Small's portulaca (Portulaca smallii), and white irisette (Sisyrinchium
dichotomum). Following is a summary of our findings at the proposed expansion area, and a
review of the relevant considerations for each of the above species.
The northern boundary of the project area is cut through by a small, intermittent stream which
would be affected by construction activity. This stream averages 3 to 5 feet in width, has a bed
of silt, sand and gravel, and has a nearly perpendicular bank of about 3 feet. Length of the
stream through the project area is about 1800 feet. There is no distinctive floodplain associated
with this stream and the only wetlands area is about 200 square feet and evidenced by a patch
of arrowhead (Sagittaria latifolia). Total area of impact to waters of the United States, including
wetland areas, at this project site would be less than 1/3 of an acre and, thus, qualifies this
project under both the Nationwide Permit #26 and the North Carolina Department of
Environmental Management (NCDEM) General Certification #2671 (see attached).
The tree canopy along the south side of the stream is dominated by red maple, sycamore, tulip
poplar and white oak. The understory includes green ash, black cherry, redbud, black gum,
winged elm, American holly, sweet-gum, sourwood and possumhaw. The herbaceous
component is primarily Microstegium, but beyond the areas of dominance by this species there
is also Solomon's seal, cranesbill, beggar's tick, Michaux's lily, black cohosh, windflower and
mock strawberry and other herbs. Upslope and further south of the stream the forest was
apparently cut about 12 years ago and is now strongly dominated by small-diameter sweet-gum,
green ash, tulip poplar, red oak and dogwood. The north side of the stream has less forest cover
and is more strongly impacted by Microstegium.
The conditions described above generally do not offer supportive habitat for the T&E species
of concern. The bog turtle prefers boggy/marshy areas which this site does not hold, nor was
the species observed. Similarly, the bog rose of sphagnum bogs and wet meadows was not
observed in this area and would not be expected in the conditions at this site.
The small-anthered bittercress was not found in the area. The dense growth of microstegium
along the stream banks would restrict the growth of this species and the general physical
conditions of the streambank area are not those preferred by Cardamine micranthera. The
yellow fringeless orchid is associated with pine barrens and swamps, Small's portulaca with
granite outcrops, and white irisette is associated with a basic soil variant of the oak-hickory type
forest. None of these conditions are represented at the project site and none of these species
were found there.
In summary, because the project impacts less than 1/3 acre of wetlands it qualifies for
construction under Nationwide Permit #26 and the NCDEM General Certification #2671. My
survey of the area revealed no T&E species, and conditions at the proposed project site are such
that none of the species of concern would likely be there. From the perspective of
environmental permitting concerns, it is my finding that this project may proceed without further
review. The remaining issue to be resolved is review and approval by the North Carolina
Department of Cultural Resources, pursuant to North Carolina Solid Waste Management Rules
and Law (Administrative Code Title 15A, Chapter 13, Subchapter 13B, Section .1622). Cultural
Resources generally takes about three (3) weeks to respond to a request for review of a proposed
project. Their determination may be that the project has the Department's approval to proceed,
or they may require an archeological survey or some other stipulation prior to approval. I will
appropriately notify Cultural Resources of this project and keep you apprised of their findings.

Re: Hanes Mill Landfill Expansion,
Forsyth County, GS 95-0013
Dear Mr, Wolfe:
Division of Archives and History
William S. Price, Jr., Director
Thank you for your letter of August 8, 1994, concerning the above project.
We have conducted a search of our maps and files and have located the following
structures of historical or architectural importance within the general area of the
project:
Paul's House, located 0.6 mile southwest of SR 1669, junction of US 52.
Ziglar House, southwest corner, junction of US 52 and SR 1669.
House, south side of SR 1669, 0.4 mile southwest of US 52
We evaluated these structures and determined none of them retain the historical or
architectural detailing necessary for listing in the National Register of Historic
Places.
There are no known archaeological sites within the proposed project area. Based
on our present knowledge of the area, it is unlikely that any archaeological
resources which may be eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic
Places will be affected by the project construction. We, therefore, recommend
that no archaeological investigation be conducted in connection with this project.
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act of 1966 and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's
Regulations for Compliance with Section 106, codified at 36 CFR Part 800.

concerning the above comment, please contact Renee Gledhill-Earley,
environmental review coordinator, at 919/733-4763.
