Floodplain Impact The cU.striet will adopt a "NO TAP" policy in floodway areas and in floodplain areas where flood insurance is not available at raasonable rate.. I B. Impact on Transportation Waterline construction along rural paved and unpaved roads will create minor local traffic problems within the immediate construction Disruption . traffic, area. 1.n however, will be minimized by the effective use of barriers and flagman and by filling all open trenches at the end of each day. North Carolina Department of Transportation (DOT) safety regulations wil~ be strictly observed. DOT personnel will be included in the preconstruct ion conference and construction progress meetings. C. Impact on Air Quality Burning will be performed in accordance with requirement of permitting agencies. Burning will be kept to a minimum by hauling debris to the landfill when possible. Emission control devices will be required for all construction equipment, as necessary. Specifications will allow the project engineer to require dust control measures if needed. D. Impact on Noise Level Construction equipment will be properly muffled and operated outside of normal sleeping hours to reduce the noise and impact of noise associated with construction. E. Impact on Erosion Sediment and eros.ion control measures will be strictly I adhered to at stream crossings. specifications and permits will require the topography of the area to be restored to pre-project conditions. No fill or excavation (other than required to install the water line) will be allowed. Vegetation will be restored as quickly as site conditions allow. state personnel from the NC Department of Natural Resources typically monitor construction activities on a regular basis and strictly enforce floodplain/wetland erosion control measures. NC State law requires that a sediment and erosion control plan be developed and implemented on the project. F. Impact Wetlands To eliminate the possibility of the water system accommodating future development within designated wetlands, the following future service restrictions will be adopted and enforced by the district: The oistrict will not install a new water service or will not agree to otherwise provide water service to any structure, dwelling, building or other improvements, which is located in whole or in part with designated wetlands, and which is not already existing, established and completed on or before the final completion date and placement in operation of the proposed improvements. Designated wetlands for the district's services area are identified on National Wetlands Inventory Maps prepared by the U.s. Department of Interior, Fish , wildlife Service. These maps in their most updated form are to be maintained I on permanent file at the central office of the district. This restriction shall be adopted by resolution of the district's governing body and shall be binding upon the district, its representatives, successors, and . assigns. This resolution shall in no manner be altered, amended, rescinded or modified without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Farmers Home Administration, USDA an agency of the United States Government. G. Farmland Impact To minimize the project's potential impacts on important farmland, the following mitigation measure will be adopted and enforced by the district: 660 The District will adopted and enforce a resolution stating that the sanitary district will not install future water service taps, larger than normal residential size, to non- agricultural development on important farmland in any of the following waterline corridors with written concurrence of the Farmers Horne Administration: SR 1705 from NC27 to SR 1704 SR 1542 from SR 1543 to SR 1510 I SR 1510 from SR 1542 to SR 1403 ~ SR 1403 from SR 1510 to SR ~;5 The district further agrees to select future well and tank sites, pump stations, etc. to avoid conversion of prime or " important farmland. - The district must agree to design and construct the proposed project to limit capacities to those required to meet minimal needs of the district and to - comply with state Requlatory Agency requirements and sound engineering practices.
