RE: 24" SANITARY SEWER EXTENSION TO SERVE SOUTHEASTERN FARMERS MARKET
LUMBERTON, NORTH CAROLINA
Gentlemen:
An application for a Section 404/401 Certification from the North Carolina Divi-
sion of Water Quality and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been filed for the
above-referenced project. As part of that application, we are required to contact
you regarding the presence of any federally listed endangered or threatened
species or critical habitat in the area that may be affected by the proposed
project.
According to our research, only two known endangered species could potentially
occur in this area, the red-cockaded woodpecker and the American alligator. The
proposed project area consists mainly of a bottomland hardwood type of cover with
predominant tree species being red maple, sweet gum, black gum and water oak.
This effectively eliminates the woodpecker as it requires large, contiguous,
mature pine forests to live and reproduce. The project area is also well drained
by the Little Jacob Swamp Canal which prohibits the alligator from having enough
aquatic habitat. In addition, the proposed sewer mains will be installed in an
existing easement that has been cleared and maintained for quite some time.
Therefore, the temporary impact due to construction on the terrestrial habitat in
the area may be considered minimal.
Please review the attached maps of the project area and provide your assessment of
any potential impacts this job may have on federally protected species.
Thank you for your attention in this matter and if you have any questions, please
contact our office.
Sincerely,
KOONCE? , NOBLE AND /AS/SJOOCIATES, INC.

RE: 24" SANITARY SEWER EXTENSION TO SERVE SOUTHEASTERN FARMERS MARKET
LUMBERTON, NORTH CAROLINA
Dear Mr. Brook:
An application for a Section 404/401 Certification from the North Carolina Divi-
sion of Water Quality and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been filed for the
above-referenced project. As part of that application, we are required to contact
you regarding.the presence of any historic properties in the permit area which may
be affected by the proposed project.
The area in question is a wooded region bounded by agricultural property just
south of the City of Lumberton. The sewer mains will be installed in an existing
drainage easement parallel to the Little Jacob Swamp Canal that was cleared years
ago.
There are no existing structures on or adjacent to the proposed project area.
Also, because of the location and topographic nature of this particular region, it
is unlikely that any archaeological sites of any significance will be affected by
this construction.
Please review the area shown on the attached maps and provide your assessment of
any potential impacts this job may have.
Thank you for your attention in this matter and if you have any questions, please
contact our office.
Sincerely,
KOONCE, NOBLE (AN?D? ASSOCIATES, INC.
