          Inversion Frequencies

          On an annual basis, the low-level inversion frequency in
the Greensboro area is about 37 percent (percentage of total hours)
The highest inversion frequency during the year, 43 percent, occurs
during winter, primarily due to the higher incidence of radiation
inversions created during early morning periods of clear skies and
light transport winds.  Low-level inversion frequencies during sum-
mer, spring, and fall are 33 percent, 32 percent, and 40 percent,
respectively (HO-123).

          Stagnating Anticyclones

          Atmospheric dispersion conditions are especially poor
when the area experiences stagnating anticyclones ("stagnating an-
ticyclones" create stagnation conditions for four or more days).
The Greensboro area experiences, on the average, two stagnating
anticyclones each year (CL-093).

          Mixing Heights and Transport Winds

          Dispersion conditions in the Greensboro area are presen-
ted below.  On a seasonal basis, morning mixing heights are lowest
during the fall due to the greater incidence of clear morning skies
which enhance the formation of radiation inversions.  Throughtout
the year, mixing heights are higher in the afternoon than in the
morning due to diurnal heating and higher wind speeds, both of
which result in mixing through a greater depth of the atmosphere.
On a seasonal basis, afternoon mixing heights are greatest in sum-
mer months, primarily because maximum diurnal heating occurs during
the summer months.

          Annual Stability  Class  Distribution

          The Pasquill  stability  class distributions are shown
below.  The stability classes  are listed in order of increasing
stability.  Classes  "A,"  "B,"  and "C" are unstable, class  "D^'
is neutral  (daytime), class "D2"  is neutral (nighttime), and
class "E+F" is  stable.  The stable class "E+F" has the greatest
frequency of occurrence and is most applicable to the nighttime
atmosphere.  The neutral  classes  "Dj" and "D2" also have high
frequencies of  occurrence.   The unstable classes, particularly
classes "A" and "B," have relatively low frequencies of occurrence

          Sound Levels

          Sound levels are measured in units of dBA (decibels oh
Che A-scale).   The A weighting network approximates the frequency
response of the human ear, so sound levels in dBA units are closely
related to annoyance and hearing damage.  Approximate noise levels
for some common situations are listed below:

          25-35 dBA                    Quiet rural
             40 dBA                    Quiet urban, daytime
             45 dBA                    Bird calls

             35 dBA                    Power motor at 25 feet.

          The Environmental Protection Agency recommends the use
of L,   ("the day-night average sound level") to measure noise levels
in residential communities.  Nighttime sound levels are weighted
by a factor of 10 to account for the greater annoyance of noise
occurring between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.  EPA recommends that L, .be
less than 55 dB in residential areas to control outdoor activity
and interference (EN-108) .  The expected community response to the
day-night average noise level is known:

          L,  = 55-60 dB               Little or no reaction
           dn
                60-65 dB               Sporadic complaints
                65-70 dB               Widespread complaints and
                                         threats of legal action
                  >70 dB               Vigorous community reaction

-------
          The sound level measurements for the Worth Buffalo
sewage treatment plant show that no community reaction to plant
noise is expected.  Tall trees, dense vegetation, and land con-
tours are responsible for effective attenuation of the plant
noise.

          The sound level measurements for the South Buffalo sew-
age treatment plant also indicate that no adverse community re-
sponse to plant noise should occur.  Although houses are located
800 feet to the west and north of the plant,  the quietness of the
plant and dense vegetation which attenuates acoustic waves causes
negligible plant noise levels in the residential areas.   Just 250
feet outside the plant boundary fence, the noise levels  are suf-
ficiently low that no complaints would be expected.

          Topography

          Inasmuch as it is a peneplain surface,  the Piedmont ~
Plateau does not generally reflect the geologic structure of the
substrate.  However, where dissection of the plateau has occurred,
stream orientations are controlled by varying resistance of the
bedrock.  In Guilford County the tributaries of Haw River have
a strong northeast orientation that is apparently caused by the
northeast structural grain of the bedorck,  although the locations
of the streams have not been related to specific geologic features
The drainage system of Deep River appears to cut southeastward
across the geologic grain without being affected by varying ero-
sional resistances in the bedrock.

          Soils

          the general soil map reflects the northeast structural
grain of the geologic substrate in that the two principal associa-
tions of the county (Enon-Mecklenburg and Cecil-Madison) are sep-
arated by a northeast-oriented boundary.  This boundary apparently
does not follow any clearly mappable geologic boundary in the
county, but the northwestern half of the county, which is under-
lain by one type of granodiorite, has chiefly ultisols (Cecil-
Madison and Madison-Cecil),  whereas the southeastern half, which
has another type of granodiorite bedrock, has mostly alfisols (Enon-
Mecklenburg).   The Wilkes-Enon and Appling-Vance-Helena associa-
tions are apparently randomly distributed throughout the county.
Two areas of the Coronaca-Mecklenburg association are in the north-
east and northwest part of the county and may be associated in
part with the bedrock of volcanic origin.  As expected, the Chew-
acla-Wedhadkee-Congaree alluvial association is found along parts
of the major streams of the county, including Haw River, Mears
Fork, the two headwater streams of Reedy Fork Creek, and North
and South Buffalo Creeks.

          Surface-Water Hydrology

          All of Guilford County, with the exception of the ex-
treme northwest and southwest corners, is located within the Cape
Fear River Basin.  The name Cape Fear applies to the stream formed
at the confluence of the Haw and Deep River, both of which origin-
ate near the west boundary of Guilford County.  The Cape Fear
River drains approximately 8,500 square miles of east-central
North Carolina.  The Cape Fear basin has an average width of
about 50 miles and length close to 190 miles.  Basin elevations
range from 1,000 feet above mean sea level (msl) at the river's
headwaters in the hilly Piedmont Province to sea level where the
river empties into the Atlantic Ocean after crossing the flatter
Coastal Plain.  Rainfall in the basin generally increases from
west to east.  The^average annual total near the headwaters is
44 inches, and at the coast it is 52 inches.  The percentage of
this rainfall that goes to runoff also increases from west to
east with minor variations throughout the basin.  If an average
annual value of 48 inches of rainfall is assumed for the entire
basin, then the percentage of rainfall that goes to runoff can
be determined.  Records of the U.S. Geological Survey show that
near its mouth, the Cape Fear River discharges about 31 percent
or 15 inches of the 48-inch long-term yearly average rainfall.

              WATER QUALITY MODELING ON RECEIVING
              STREAMS. FOR ALLOCATING WASTE LOADS

            The State of North Carolina Department of Natural
and Economic Resources (NCDNER) conducted an intensive field
sampling program in 1973 to provide input parameters and cali-
bration data for an instream dissolved oxygen model.  The mathe-
matical model was calibrated to the observed data and then used
to determine waste load allocations for selected point source
discharges. . The level of sophistication used on North Buffalo,
South Buffalo, and Buffalo Creek were different and will be ex-
plained below.

            North Buffalo and Buffalo Creeks were modeled as a
single system, using an EPA version of Qual II, a state-of-the-
art advective-dispersive model for nonconservative parameters.
The NCDNER conducted a time of travel study in 1973 which was
used to estimate the average hydraulic properties for the stream
reaches modeled.  To determine the deoxygenation rate coefficients,
samples from point source discharges and instream samples were
collected and analyzed.

            With the assumption that the system was under steady-
state conditions at the time of sampling, the data from the time
of travel study and the sampling program were plotted on semi-
log paper.  The slope of the line provided an estimate of the
reaction rate coefficients for carbonaceous and nitrogenous.
biochemical oxygen-demanding material.  The reaeration coeffi-
cients used were taken from a reaeration study conducted by EPA
in 1979.  The streamflow in the model was assumed to be the
standard worst case, the 7-day, 10-year low flow.  The U.S.
Geological Survey estimates of these low flows provided the
model input.  Results of the Qual II modeling are given in
Appendix A.

-------
            Only the major point sources discharging to North
Buffalo and Buffalo Creek were modeled.  These discharges were
Cone Mills, North Buffalo wastewater treatment plant, and South
Buffalo Creek (assumed to be a point source).

            South Buffalo Creek did not receive the same level
of modeling effort as North Buffalo Creek.  Sufficient input
data does not presently exist.  The model used considered only
the carbonaceous and nitrogenous BOD from proposed South Buffalo
wastewater treatment plant (WTP).   The creek above the WTP out-
fall was assumed to contain 7.56 mg/fc dissolved oxygen or 90%
of saturated concentration.  The ultimate carbonaceous and
nitrogenous BOD above the outfall were set equal to 4 mg/Jl.
The reaeration coefficient was estimated using Tsivoglou's
method.  The stream velocity was calculated from U.S. Geological
Survey gaging station data on South Buffalo Creek.  The deoxy-
genation rate for CBOD and NBOD were estimated from an inten-
sive sampling program on South Buffalo Creek in 1972.

            The modified Streeter-Phelps equation was exercised
with the above input data to determine wasteload allocation for
the South Buffalo WTP to assure an instream DO of 5 mg/Jl during
the 7-day, 10-year low flow.   The results also provided the in-
put from South Buffalo Creek to the North Buffalo and Buffalo
Creek model.  Appendix B contains  the input and output data from
the programmable calculator used in the analysis.

          Present Vegetation

          the mixed pine-hardwood stands are the most common type
of forest cover in the study area; these are late-successional
stands resulting from regrowth following lo'gging or cultivation.
Species composition varies considerably, and a continuum of stands
occurs between the driest, best-drained sites and the moister,
richer sites in sheltered ravines and lower slopes.  Though bas-
ically dominated throughout by white, red, and black oaks, the
drier end of the continuum is distinguished by scarlet, post,  and
blackjack oaks, with chestnut oak on the most rugged sites.  The
opposite end of the continuum is characterized by the presence of
American beech, sweetgum, green ash, shagbark hickory, and walnut.
Pines may be found on all sites , usually as scattered clusters or
individuals of shortleaf pine.  The upland forests correspond
roughly to ASF Types 52, 78, and 87, but their successional na-
ture makes them very indistinct, and the degree of overlap is so
great as to justify no ecological distinction between them.

         . Floodplain forests are very restricted in distribution
owing both to the fact that the study area lies at the headwaters
of a drainage basin and to the encroachment of agriculture and in-
dustry.  Several successional phases of this forest type are evi-
dent, but the most common appears to be dominated by American elm
and/or green ash, and corresponds roughly to ASF Type 93.  Ripar-
ian woodlands are a subtype of this flpodplain forest type, forming
a narrow strip on either side of stream courses.  Sycamore is
clearly the most characteristic tree of streambank situations,
together with American elm and green ash.  Black willow is found
on disturbed sites.  Japanese honeysuckle frequently forms an al-
most continuous carpet over the forest floor, and other vines,
including poison ivy, Virginia creeper, and grape are common.

-------
          The pine woodlands in the study area are almost always
nearly pure stands of Virginia pine grown very close together and
forming a dense canopy.  Occasional plantations of shortleaf pine
are found.  Virginia redcedar is frequently encountered as an un-
derstory species in successional stands of pine.  Elsewhere, red-
cedar is a typical early-succession dominant on abandoned fields;.
in the study area, one heavily grazed field was observed in which
redcedar had established itself in the absence of pine.

          Old field revegetation varies according to time elapsed
since abandonment, with broomsedge becoming dominant, together
with various tall, weedy forbs.   Pine seedlings may invade as early
as the third year.  Cultivated fields make up a sizeable percen-
tage of the study area, occupying a fourth to a third of the total
non-urban land.  Corn, tabacco,  cotton, and feed grains are the
most frequently grown crops.

          Aside from the influence of clearing and succession, the
distribution of vegetation types appears to be most closely re-
lated to topography, as this factor affects soil characteristics.
Working in Moore County, Glazier (GL-068) found that clay content
and soil acidity increased from "better" to "poorer" sites, and
that the "poorer," more exposed sites were generally more highly
weathered and lower in nutrients.  A smiliar pattern was observed
by Nemeth (NE-166) in Durham County.  Poorer sites are generally
drier, owing to their clayey subsoil layers which enhance runoff
and retard percolation; soil moisture therefore becomes a key
factor differentiating sites.  Seedlings of the many oak species
found in the area exhibit a range of physiological drought toler-
ance which has been found to correlate with their distribution
brtween good and poor sites.  Although upland soils are structur-
ally quite similar over the study area, local differences of slope
and exposure affect weathering and soil formation rates to a degree
which results in vegetational differences.

-------
          A distince soil type forms in the major valleys, includ-
ing North and South Buffalo Creeks and Horsepen Creek; this moder-
ately to poorly drained soil type, low in natural fertility and
organic content (US-562) and subject to intermittent flooding,
supports the typical floodplain and riparian forest cover.  Water
tables may be seasonally high, ranging from two feet to the sur-
face of the soil;  this factor more than any other probably deter-
mines the species  composition of the forest stands found there.

          Relationship to Habitat

          Generally speaking, the more open upland and floodplain
forests provide the best habitat for most wildlife species.  Both
cover and food are abundant, and the large proportion of edge be-
tween woodlots and fields adds to their value.  Mammals typical
of these forests include the chipmunk, gray squirrel, and fox
squirrel.  Opossum, white-footed mouse, meadow jumping mouse, and
striped skunk are common ubiquitous species often found in open
woodlands.  Deep-woods species which may have been more widely
distributed in the past include least shrew and southern flying
squirrel.  Virginia white-tailed deer are infrequently found in
the area, often feeding in fields and clearings adjacent to wood-
lots.  Red fox and gray fox are also resident in woodlands but
are likewise uncommon.  A large number of small birds are char-
acteristically associated with woodlands; these include the wood-
.peckers, eastern phoebe, eastern wood pewee, blue jay, Carolina
chickadee, brown thrasher, cardinal, rufoud-sided towhee, and a
variety of.nesting and migrating warblers.  The pileated wood-
pecker, rare now in the area, is a typical deep-woods species de-
clining under the pressure of habitat loss.  Forest raptors include
Cooper's, broad-winged, and red-shouldered hawks, as well as the
great horned and barn owls.  Several reptiles, including the eas-
tern fence lizard and eastern garter snake, found in woodlands
as well as other habitats; the five-lined skink and southeastern
copperhead tend to prefer wooded areas.

          Riparian and bottomland habitats are characterized by
a group of species which tend to be most abundant in such situa-
tions.  These include muskrat, belted kingfisher, tufted titmouse,
nuthatches, Carolina wren, blue-gray gnatcatcher, kinglets, and
several of the vireos and warblers.  Most amphibians are restricted

-------
to moise areas near water, and several of the snakes, Including
the eastern ribbon snake and rough green snake, are also found
mainly near streams.  Raccoons are almost always found near water.

          The dense pine thickets afford habitat to many of the
small bird and mammal species including a few, such as red cross-
bill, pine siskin, pine warbler, and pine vole, that are more
characteristic of conifers than other vegetation types.  However,
the uniformity of physical structure of pine stands and their
dense shade which reduces the growth of understory vegetation
tends to make them generally less valuable habitats than the
older hardwood stands.                      •

          Old fields, including young pine stands before the
canopy closes, tend to have a distinct faunal assemblage which
includes many of the widespread species of broad tolerance men-
tioned above.  The white-footed mouse is expecially common in
old fields.  In addition, the eastern cottontail, hispid cotton
rat, and house mouse prefer the dense growth of tall weeds and
grasses (MC-255).   Birds commonly associated with old fields and
clearings include sparrow hawk, marsh hawk, bobwhite, killdeer,
common nighthawk,  mockingbird, robin, eastern meadowlark, Ameri-
can goldfinch and most species of sparrows.

          Status of Game Animal Populations

          During brief field investigations conducted in November,
1976 by Radian Corporation biologists, deer tracks were seen near
Lake Brandt.  Hendrickson (HE-214) reported deer signs in the
South Buffalo Creek drainage.  Deer probably utilize the relatively
continuous woods and thickets following the area's major stream-
courses as routes  of movement to and from the larger areas of wood-
lands.   The best woodland habitat is found in the northern part
of the county, in the Reedy Fork watershed.  Although habitat

-------
for deer is greatly fragmented in Guilford Comity, the combina-
tion of woody and old-field herbaceous cover could probably sup-
port a much larger population than is now found there.

          Gray and fox squirrels are generally hunted in wooded
riparian habitats; good hunting is localized in these areas in
Guilford County.  Nests were commonly observed along all of the
streamcourses surveyed in November, 1976 by Radian biologists.
Availability of food—primarily acorns—seems to be the major
factor determining the year-to-year variations in size of the
squireel population, although its overall limits are set by the
availability of woodland habitat (NO-115).

          Waterfowl of various kinds utilize the lakes, streams,
and ponds in Guilford County, primarily in winter and during mi-
gration.  Canada geese are common winter migrants, and mallards
are common winter residents.  Other species observed regularly,
but not commonly, include pintail, gadwall, blue-winged and green-
winged teal.  Only the wood duck is listed as a permanent resi-
dent (DA-227).   Hunting for waterfowl is limited in Guilford
County.  Lake Brandt and possibly other lakes were hunted as. re-
cently as 1967  (VA-157).

          Red fox, gray fox, and raccoon are popular quarries,
hunted with dogs and/or from horseback.  Extreme pressure resulted
in population declines and unsupervised introductions during the
1950's by private sporting interests.  Raccoon sign was found
nearly everywhere along North and South Buffalo Creeks and Reedy
Fork by Radian biologists, corroborating Hendrickson's earlier
observations (HE-214).  Both also observed some raccoon sign
along Horsepen Creek.

          In addition to the above species, muskrat and opossum
are trapped for fur.  Muskrat is the most important furbearer in

-------
Guilford County.  Muskrat sign or road kills were noted on or near
South Buffalo Creek, Buffalo Creek,  and the Haw River by Radian
biologists, and along South Buffalo and Horsepen Creeks by Hendrick-
son (HE-214).  Muskrat abundance is probably controlled mainly by
habitat availability.  Adequate combinations of food, cover,  and
permanent, relatively deep water are found naturally only along
the main streamcourses and their tributaries.  Farm ponds were
not examined in the field, but it is probable that they supply
additional habitat.  Muskrat are probably also found along the
shorelines of Lakes Brandt, Townsend, Richland, and other large
impoundments where cattail and other emergent vegetation offers
a combination of food and cover.

Section II.B.I.  Demography and Economics

            Current and projected population and economic data were required
in this section.  The methodology and detailed breakdowns of data are presented
herein.

            a.   Demography

            To calculate the 1970 population within the Study Area and dis-
aggregate the population to subbasins, census tract and block information
were used.  For each of the ten subbasins, census tracts were listed.  (See
Figure     for census tracts.)  Boundaries often severed tracts.  Where this
occurred and where possible, block data were used.  In outerlying areas of
the county, however, both tracts and blocks become large.  In these areas,
to calculate population, land use maps and aerials were used and the number
of structures multiplied by the average number of persons per household. •

            After the 1970 population was calculated for each of the subbasins,
the  percentage of population of each census tract within a particular sub-
basin was calculated.  These percentages were then applied to 1975 census
tract data.

            The 1975 breakdown by census tracts was prepared for the City of
Greensboro Planning Department by National Planning Data Corporation.  The
methodology they used to update the 1970 census to 1975 may be obtained from
the Greensboro Planning Department, but generally includes regression analyses,
use of building permit data, and the like.

            Table II-B-l(TR)  shows the breakdown of the population within
the area by subbasin and census tract.  Tables II-B-2(TR) and II-B-3(TR)  show
breakdowns of certain characteristics of the population using the methodology
discussed above.

Source: Data provided by Greensboro Planning Department with update by National Planning Data
        Corporation. Census tract data was allocated to subbasins by Eric Hill Associates, Inc.

-------
            Population density (1975) was determined by measuring the
acreage within each census tract and calculating the people per acre and
per square mile using Table II-B-1 (TR).  However, in the outerlying area*
of the county where the census tracts are large, a different methodology
was used to better reflect the density.  In these areas, aerials and
buiIding permit data were used and the structures counted.  The number
of structures were then converted to people using the 1970 census figure
of 3.16 persons per household in Guiiford County.

            For population projections, the methodology used is clearly
explained in Chapter II.  Projections by OBERS for the Standard Metropolitan
Statistical Area  (SMSA), as disaggregated by the North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management (NCDEM), projections by the Greensboro Planning
Department for the "701" Study Area  (which closely coincides with the EIS
Study Area, and projections in the Hazen and Sawyer Environmental Assessment,
were carefully analyzed.  Of most importance was the directive by the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that base projections be made assuming
that sewer is not a constraint to development.  Therefore, projections were
made assuming that sewer services would be available throughout the Study
Area.

            Existing land use data, building permits over the last five
years (1970-1975), and environmentally sensitive lands were other critical
ingredients in the projections.  The first step undertaken was to determine
population projections and land use projections for the entire Study Area.
For land use, population was converted to number of dwellings, single-family
and multi-family components, and acres of residential land needed.  Finally,
population and land use were allocated to the subbasins.

-------
            Several assumptions were made in the projections:
            (1)  In the Environmental Assessment/ population was converted
to dwelling units by dividing by an average household size:  2.2 for multi-
family units and 3.0 for single-family units.  Based on discussions with the
Greensboro Planning Department (Mr. Ken Brown), the factor for multi-family  .
units was lowered to 2.0, based on a survey-the department had recently com-
pleted.

            (2)  As in the Environmental Assessment/ dwelling unit require-
ments were converted to residential acreage by using an average gross density
of ten dwelling units per acre for multi-family housing units and two dwelling
units per acre for single-family housing.  These figures are consistent with
those now being used by the Greensboro Planning Department.

            (3)  The breakdown of population into multi-family and single-
family components — by five year intervals^— was prepared and coordinated
with the Greensboro Planning Department and is similar to those figures used
in the Environmental Assessment.  (See Table II-B-4(TR).)  The city data were
used in the disaggregations since the greatest portion of the Study Area lies
within the city.

            (4)  To reiterate, sewer services is assumed where growth is
projected.  Available capacities and constraints on the system were not
assumed as deterrents to growth.

ASSUMPTIONS;

  1.  The multi-family rate in 1980 will increase because of:  decreased family formations
      resulting from more divorce and femaleheads of households; increased cost of single-
      family housing; and uncertain economic conditions from worker mobility.  However, the
      increase is not anticipated to be as great as 1970-75 (30.3%).  It is assumed the re-
      covery rate in the slumping M-F market will be 1/3 of the 1970-75 increase or 10.09
      percent.

  2.  For 1980-85 it was assumed that the multi-family market will increase an additional
      10.09 percent.

  3.  For 1985-1990, another third of the 1970-75 increase was assumed because of a continued
      increase in the primary age of M-F dwellers.

  4.  During 1990-1995 and 1995-2000, although the percentage multi-family decreases, the net
      total units remain the same.

            b.   Economics

            Ihe methodology used to calculate current economic conditions
within each of the subbasins is similar to the methodology used for population.
Census tract data for 1969 and 1974 were used.  For each subbasin, the per
capita income within census tracts was added and the average per capita in-
come calculated.

            Other data developed required the mapping and summing of retail
opening and closings and new manufacturers.  Data was provided by the
Greensboro Planning Department.

            Projected per capita earning data is based on OBERS (Series E)
projections.  Employment projections were provided by the Greensboro Planning
Department.

-------
Section II.B.2.    Land Use

            Current land use was prepared from aerials and naps provided by
the Environmental Protection Agency.  However, the entire ECS Study Area
was not covered by the aerials.  Therefore, no land use data was available.
To determine land use acreage for these areas, land use acreage within the
reminder of the subbasin was measured and the proportions of land use were
assumed to be the same.

            For future general land use, population.projections and potential
growth were closely coordinated.  Additional residential acreage required was
calculated from population projections.  These calculations were made using
Table II.B.4(TR)  and II.B.12.

            Net developable land was determined by subtracting environmentally
sensitive lands from the vacant land within each subbasin.  Environmentally
sensitive lands were defined as lands having at least one of the following
characteristics:  slopes exceeding 15 per cent; erosive soils, flood plains
or wetlands, areas with existing and proposed noise problems from the airport
reservoir buffer zones, sanitary landfill areas, and quarrys.

            The acreage for other land uses (ccmmercial, industrial, and parks)
was calculated assuming that the ratio of developed acreage for each use to
current developed land will remain the same in the year 2000.  Therefore,.
cormercial will be 10.5 per cent; industrial 8 per cent; and recreational 8.5
per cent of the developed acreage.

            The location of future land uses were mainly determined using
data supplied by the Greensboro Planning Department.  Location of uses will
certainly be affected by decisions made about sewer service.  The land use
map in Chapter II reflects potential growth area assuming that sewer service
will be available east and south of the Study Area.

                        USE OF PEERS

          The basis for determination of wastewater treatment"
plant design capacities which must be used in EPA Region IV
was issued on July 18, 1975 and is provided in the following
pages.  This release specifies that "OBERS" economic projections
can be used to project future industrial flows but does not
specify an acceptable methodology for the use of such economic
projections.  Therefore, an additional memorandum which outlines
an acceptable use of "OBERS" economic projections for projecting
future industrial flows was issued on August 14, 1976 and is
also included herein for review.

-------
                  Basis for Determination of Design Capacities
    Tno question as to what basis should be used 1n determining the design
capacities for wustowater treatment facilities has been a problem to municipalities
consul tini.l ewiim.'ors, r.tato agencies, and CPA.  The purpose of this document
1s to establish n consistent basis for the determination of wastewater needs
in an area.

    J'or residential or domestic population projections 1n SMSA's, the "OBERS"*
population figures should be used.  For non-SMSA areas, the population figures
contained 1n the July, 1972, publication entitled "Population by County -
tU.ltPilcJJJMO-1970) and Projected (1960*2020) - Region IV'should be used.
These county"population figures slfotncTbe used until new county wide projections
are available.  Disaggre'gation of these population totals within an area Is the
responsibility of the local governmental entities Involved.

    For determination of the Industrial wastewater needs for an area, one of
two methods can be used.  In SMSA's, the "OBEUS" economic projections can be used
to project future Industrial flows.  This involves converting projected earnings
increases for the Standard Industrial Classifications (SIC) to projected.
industrial flows for the area.  In non-SMSA areas or 1n SMSA's that chose not
to use "ONERS" economic projections, Industrial wastewater needs can be estimated
from four possible sources.  They are:

    1.  Present Industrial flow In the system.

    ?..  Reserved capacity for expansion of present industries already in the
        system, I.e., present flow from the industry would Increase due to
        expansion of the industrial plant.  A letter from the Industry stating
        how much flow they would need would be required.                 .

    3.  Reserved capacity for future Industries that would use the municipal  •
        wastewator treatment system.  Future Industries that, desire capacity  .
        must be specifically named, their anticipated wastewater needs given,
        and n letter from the industry stating their wastewater needs.

    4   I'nr rinn-SMSA areas or for SMSA's that chose not to use "OBERS" economic
        pro.jot-Lion-;, an extra Ion percent of the total calculated wastewater
        need', (domestic' and industrial) for tho area will be allowed for non-
        specified industrial I low.  Tho ton percent does not apply to SMSA's that •

      Region-al  guidance, dated July 18, 1975, setting out the basis
 for Determine fieri of Design Capacities, deals with industrial w?.ste-
 waters by saying th.2 "03ER5" economic projections can.be ussd._ to.

"way or accorapl fshir.g this.                _        ^    .   ."

 1.   Group the  S MSA's pr'essnt industry into the correct two dicjH  ..
     Standard Industrial Classification. •.      '

 2.   Estimate ths present v/astewater flov/ for each two digit SIC
     group! ing, this should be based on the actual flows  fro,:t
     present industries.for each SIC.    .                              .  •

 3.   Establish  total present employment (average annual for example) for
     groupings  in 2, above.        .     .                     . •
                                         .   •
 4.   Divide flows (in 2.) by employment (in 3.)» deriving a par'
  "   unit flow, for example MGDs/100 employees for each 2 digit
•   '  sic.      •                     -                   ••--..•

 5.   Using the  total earnings, project the changes by decade.
     For example,, if a 2-digit SIC is  projected to increase
     total earnings by 15%, wastawater flow projections should,
     as a first'estimate, be increased by approximately 15/i.

'6.   All  industry .i'n the SMS.A should be'examined in this .manner
     over the time horizon selected and total  flows projected.
        ".   •                         ••..•••.
 7.   The total  flov;s projected in  Step 6 above should be  critically  "   "
    'examined by local  governmental units,  engineering consultants
     and planning bodies to determine  their acceptability.  Two
     factors should be kept in mind:

     a.  Knovin  or expected additions to or subtractions frotn the
         SMSA's present industrial nix.

     b.  The natur'e of the present industry mix.  For example,  '
         there  is less  likeliness  of large  changes in projected
         flows  for capital intensive facilities vn'th long economic
         lives  and a high capital  employment ratio (e.g.  - petroleum
         refining) than for low capital, labor intensive  industries
        'such as apuarel.              .     '   .

      There are dangers in using this  technique uncritically sines
 there are implicit assunptions, to.mention three^ of fixed 'technology,
 constant relationships betv.'een earnings,  employ^ant and  v;a.stewater  "   .
 generation and consistency in relative wage rates among  SIC groupings.

-------
      It should ba added tint disaggrogation* of industrial  v:3Ste./ater

 sibility of the grantee.

 Statistical Area or if he is in  one and does not choose to use the

..fro." industry .indicating  their future treatment capacity needs.  These
 letters v.-ill t ^  'ssd to establish the flows consid°red in  facilities
 planning.         "

      Viheu  the  facilities  plan, Step 1, is complete ancf tha applicant
 proceeds to Step II, future_.industrial' flov/s established by letters
 from industries  must be substantiated before design begins.   The
 substantiation will  consist of a letter, from the* industry  stating
 they need  the  capacity ar.d v/ill  comply vnth all user charge and cost
 recovery requirements  associated v/ith that flow.  If an industry has
 said in the facilities plan they v/ill  need a definite capacity and
 then decides,  before tha  Step II work-'begins, they do not, the Step
 II  plans and specifications will be prepared .-excluding tha reserve

As requested by your counsel, this method is compatible with the method
utilized on other projects in the Region based on the additional infor-
mation presented at the meeting.  Our computations based on that infor-
mation:

This  1s based on  the area experiencing a population increase of 64% and
an  Industrial expansion of 50".  The City should be prepared to discuss
at  the public hearing their plans and progra-ns for insuring that this
growth occurs in  an orderly and environmentally sound nanner.

If  the City desires to proceed with design, a deviation from 40 CFfl 35.925
-13(a)(3) must be requested.  The January 23 menorandurn on this subject
1s  attached.  I would forward any request received for approval since your
situation is similar but not identical to those described 1n the memo.

Thank you for your assistance in our joint endeavor to clean up the waters.

                                        Sincerely yours,

                             BASIS FOR SCREENING ALTERNATIVES


 I.   Alternatives which require that facilities be constructed or upgraded and
     then abandoned were deleted.   These include alternatives:  45, 71, 73, 74,
     75,  78,  79,  81, 82, 84,  86-103, and 105-119.

 2.   Three (3) plant configurations appear to be too costly as compared to two
     (2)  plant configurations;  therefore, alternatives 43, 44» 47-66 and 104 were
     eliminated.   Alternative 46 has been included as a possible alternative and
     will be  evaluated according to cost in order tc test this criteria.

 3.   Alternatives which called for an inefficient use of existing facilities, such
     as 2.0 or 2.4 mgd in facilities designed for 21 or 11 mgd, were eliminated.
     These include alternatives:  6, 7, 20, 21, 22, 33, 34 and 35.

 4.   Alternatives which include small new treatment plants in combination with
     large transportation requirements are too costly when compared with alternatives
     that better  make use of  existing facilities.  Alternatives 17, IS, and 19 were
     eliminated using this criteria.

 5.   Several  alternatives include upgrading and expansion of the South Buffalo
     treatment facilities. Alternative 4 appears to accomplish this at the least
     cost; therefore, it was  selected as the alternative for further analysis and
     alternatives 1, 2, 5, 8-13, 27-32, 36-39, 41, 68, 69, 72, 77, and 80 were
     eliminated.

 6.   Alternatives 121 and 122 were eliminated because they don't efficiently use
     N. Buffalo facilities.

 7.   Alternatives 23, 24, 25  and 120 a.re the same except for flow configurations.,
     Alternative  23 appears to be the least cost of these alternatives and was
     included in  the 201 plan;  therefore, it is included in the list of alternatives
     for  further  analysis and alternatives 24, 25 and 120 are eliminated.

 8.   Alternatives 67, 70, 83, and 124 are the same except for the flow configuration
     and  time schedule.  Alternative 67 was deleted because the 1982 time schedule
     for  upgrading and expanding the N. Buffalo plant follows too closely the 1980
     date.  Alternative 70 was deleted because its expansion date is 1986 whereas,
     Alternative  83's expansion date of 1989 is closer to a 10 year phasing schedule
     and  should have a lower  present worth cost.  Tims, Alternative 83 and 124 are
     to remain for further analysis.

 9.   Alternatives 76 and 123  are the same except for the time schedule.  The time
     schedule for Alternative 76. is short; therefore, it is eliminated.

1C.   Alternative  14, 15, 16,  and 26 are similar in that they involve upgrading the
     N. Buffalo Plant and construction of a new treatment facility but with different
     flow configurations.  Alternative 15 was chosen as being the best representative
     of this  group because plant capacities would match the projected flows that can
     be accepted  with the least amount of puaping.

11.   Alternative  3 was eliminated because of inefficient use of the existing South
     Buffalo  Treatment Plant.

-------
     The following list of alternatives have been reviewed and evaluated
by the EPA-EIS Branch, and NCDNER, 201 Task Force.

     Alternatives recommended by NCDNER to be priced out are located in the
far right hand column.

*Reasons for elimination
     1.  23a and 23 b were eliminated because of the similarity with 15a and
         15b.  Also, 15a was the selected alternative in the 201 Flan.

     2.  42b was eliminated because a 36 MGD plant at the confluences of
         North and South Buffalo Creeks (42a) would be cheaper than a 36 MGD
         plant located between South Buffalo and the confluence:  (42b).

     3.  #83 and #124 were eliminated because of their similarity with #85 and
         #123 which will be priced out; also it was felt that #85 and #123
         would be respectively cheaper than #83 and #124.

     4.  Reedy Fork was eliminated because the effluent limits at Reedy Fork
         will require advanced treatment (36 MGD  14,4:  20 MGD 18,6) instead
         of secondary treatment as was previously assumed.

                                                      Impact Statement (EIS)
Dear Mr.  Wilson:
     The following  comments were generated as a result of  the May 3rd meeting
with Mr. Everett  Knight, Mr. Page Benton,  Mr. Coy Batten,  Mr. Vernon Harris, and
Mr. Berry Williams.

A.   Alternative  Screening:

     The EPA,  State, City of Greensboro,  Guilford County,  and Padian representa-
     tives departed the May 3rd morning meeting in Greensboro with the following
     alternatives (numbers refer to Radian's Master List of Eleven (11)).

     Alt.  #1      N.B. 16 MGD -
                  S.B. 20 MGD

    *Alt.  #2      N.B. 16 MGD
                  S.B. 20 MGD (S.B.- 70 Metro Site)

   **Alt.  #3      N.B. 16 MGD
                  Metro (Confluence) 20 MGD

     Alt.  #4      N.B. 36 MGD

     Alt.  #6      N.B. 36 MGD
                  S.B. 6 MGD
                  Metro (Confluence)  I4 MGD

     Alt.  #7      N.B. 18 - 25 MGD (1989)
*  EPA wanted  to discuss Alternatives 2 and  10 before arriving at a decision to
   eliminate one or both or none of them.

** Selected  Alternative in the 201 Plan.

     Alt. #10      N.B. 16 MGD
                   Reedy Fork 20 HCD

     Alt. #11      "No Action"

     The State eliminated alternatives 1, 4, and 6 for the following reasons:

(1)  Alt. //I:  In order to expand the South Buffalo Treatment Plant to a twenty
     (20) KGD plant, land would have to be purchased from North Carolina A&T.
     As of this writing, it was felt that A&T land would not be available for
     purchase.  The. determination as to A£T land availability must originate
     from the Council of State.  Radian Corporation has the responsibility to
   r  request a ruling from the Council of State on this matter.

(2)  Alt. #4:  The environmental effects of discharging 1500 Lbs. of BOD/day
     into a stream with a 7 day - 10 year low flow of 1.0 CFS would be
     biologically harmful to the stream.

(3)  Alt. //6:  The three (3) plant configurations were eliminated because O&M
     costs would be extremely high.  .

     The State has requested Radian Corporation to perform an investigation
     on alternatives #3, #7, and #11 (No-Action).  EPA has requested that Radian
     also investigate alternatives #1, #2, and #10.  The analysis will follow
     the Task Order (NA76-B445) and the Costing Criteria letter (dated April 20,
     1977).

B .  Conditions

     Radian Corporation requested certain conditions from both the EPA and the
     State in order to have a minimum amount of downtime when the EIS is reviewed.
     The conditions are:

     (1)  The State will receive the EIS documents no later than the -morning of
          the 17th of May.   The State will have the required personnel standing
          by (or on call) in order to perform a review on this document.*

     (2)  Review time will be three working days from the time the document is
          submitted.  The State requests twenty-seven (27) copies of the first
          submittal.*

     (3)  An errata sheet on costs will cot be provided by the State.
*  See attachment:  Personnel Who Will Review the Greensboro EIS.

     (4)  the State has reserved the conference room at 210 North Dnwson Street,
          Raleigh, and the Board Room afe 217 West Jones Street, Raleigh, in caee
          Radian or EPA personnel request a meeting or need conference space.

     (5)  Effluent limits will not change from those previously listed on April
          19, 1977 .(see attachment).

     (6)  The State will review information that is submitted on a piecemeal
          basis (particularly costs) but only if the submittal is complete and
          before the 17th of May.

    ' (7)  State personnel will review the document in Raleigh, N.C.

     (8)  Mr. Everett Knight, Director of DEM will meet with Mr. John Ravan,
          EPA - Region IV Director on May the 20th on or about 10:00 a.m. in
          Atlanta.  The purpose of this meeting will be to. select an alternative
          from the final list of six (6).

     (9)  The State recommends that the location of the Metro Plant in alternative
          #2 be downstream of the existing site and upstream of S.R. 70 (The
          Citizen's Committee has mentioned one (1) to two (2) miles downstream
    .      of the existing South Buffalo Site).  Aerial photographs and aerial
          reconnaisance (helicopters) can be used in site selection.

     The attachments are included for consolidation of pertinent information
concerning the screening of alternatives.

     If you have any questions please contact me.
                                       Sincerely,

SUMMARY OF ALTERNATIVES ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION

-------
I.        SUMMARY OF ALTERNATIVES ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
              Establishment of Relative  Importance  of
              Specific Environmental Categories
          The Public  Review Group  will  be requested to assist in
the "calibration of the  evaluation scheme to the Greensboro study
area.  Each of these  representatives  will contribute equally to
the evaluation process.  They will have reviewed a prior, advance-
information version of Chapter  II,  Existing Environment, and each
will be made aware of the categories  that he or she would be asked
to rank.  The group will be  provided  an opportunity to resolve
problems or questions about  their  task.

          Each representative will rank each of the environmental
categories, to be designated, in accordance with his judgment of
their relative importance in his environment.   A one to five scale
will be used:

           1.  Relatively least important,
           2. • Relatively less  important,
           3.  Relatively average in importance
           4.  Relatively more  important, and
           5.  Relatively most  important.
          It will be  explained  to  the representatives that their
responses, as shown by "X's," ideally should be more or less cen-
tered about the median value of "3,"  and that it is not essential
that they respond to  each category, but failure to do so is tanta-
mount to abdicating their position on that category to the other
representatives.

          To obtain a "mean importance  unit" for each citizen,
the responses for an  individual will  be summed and divided by the
number of categories  to  which he or she responded.   Then, each

-------
response value given by a member for a category will be divided
by his or her-mean importance unit to determine the "normalized
importance value" for that category and that individual.   This
will be repeated for all categories and all individuals.   This
normalization step is necessary to insure that values reflect
relative importance (i.e., marking all categories "5" would only
result in a neutral position for all categories).

          To calculate the relative importance of each environ-
mental category as viewed by the citizens'  group (and presumably
the larger community embodied therein),  the individual normalized
importance values for that category will be summed and divided
by the number of citizens responding to that category.  The result-
ing average number, generally ranging' from 0.5 to 1.5, will then
be squared and the squared number will be used as a weighting
factor applicable to that environmental category and its  corres-
ponding criterion. .This process will be iterated for all environ-
mental categories.  The squaring of the numbers performs  two func-
tions:  (a) it provides a wider spread in the ultimate Figures of
Merit which facilitates comparison, and (b) it emphasizes the two  . .
extreme positions, i.e., those categories for which the most defin-
ite, least ambivalent judgments are made and which are most central
to the citizen-aided calibration procedure.

          B.  Ranking of Environmental Criteria

          An objective enumeration of adverse impacts of compon-
ents will be performed by an unbiased professional group  using
environmental criteria with a one-to-one correspondence to the
citizens'  environmental categories.

          The viable alternatives will be broken into their separate
workable components.   Environmental criteria corresponding to the
citizens'  environmental categories will then be evaluated for each

-------
of the components, as applicable.  The evaluation  of  adverse  im-
pacts associated with each of these components  and systems will
be performed by a multi-disciplinary jury using a  systematic
rating system.  The rating system is as follows:

                      0 - No impact,
                      1 - Very small impact,
                      2 - Small impact,
                      3 - Moderate impact,
                      4 - Large impact, and
                      5 - Very large impact.

Fractions will be used as necessary, except in  the domain between
0 and 1, where any impact will be assigned 1.

          In order to provide consistency during the  evaluation
procedure and concurrently to focus on just one component at  a
time f.or interdisciplinary discussion and interaction, a rationale
for assessing each criterion will be developed  during the evalua-
tion period.  The number assigned to a particular  criterion for a
particular component or system generally represents a professional
judgment of the aggregate impact of a number of associated factors.
In the final analysis, their consistent application among the com-
ponents or systems is more important than relatively  small devia-
tions from the "real" impact value.

          C.  Final Environmental Ranking

          All values of the environmental criteria assigned by the
mult.idisciplinary jury will be squared.  This will be done to empha-
size large impacts and to avoid  offsetting a large impact by  an
insignificant one in the computation of the Figure of Merit (FOM).
Then, for every criterion that is aggregated in assembling the
system alternative from its individually rated  components and in
the rating of the system per se, the squared value for the criterion

-------
is multiplied by the weighting function of its corresponding cate-
gory, which will be derived from citizen input.  The product of
these values ({criterion} x {weighting function}) may be referred
to as an "environmental impact value."  The sum of these values
for all criteria for all components of a system and for the sys-
tem per gje is then divided by the number of environmental impact
values which were summed to obtain an "average environmental impact
value" for that system alternative, with the larger numbers denot-
ing larger adverse impacts.  The average environmental impact
value is similarly compiled for all alternative systems.  Each of
these values is then subtracted from the same arbitrary positive
number to yield a FOM for each system, with the higher numbers
designating the environmentally more acceptable system alternative.

          An inherent danger in such summary representations is
the inability to designate implicitly in the final FOM the exis-
tence of a value that in itself may be more important than the
aggregated FOM.  For example, the imminent destruction of a very
important archaeological resource may be "lost" in the final re-
sult if there are many other less detrimental factors; neverthe-
less, its existence has important implications for the implemen-
tation of the proposed action and must be delineated.  This will
be done using Red Flags/ Green Flags, corresponding to adverse/
beneficial impacts.

  PROCESS FOR RANKING
EACH SYSTEM ALTERNATIVE
   21 December 1976

-------
           PROCESS FOR RANKING EACH SYSTEM ALTERNATIVE

          The environmental assessment system being exercised to
assist in selection of the Greensboro 201 Wastewater Treatment
System was designed to incorporate independently two sources of
evaluation:

          (1)  Evaluation of the relative importance of pertinent
               categories of the environment as judged by each
               individual of the citizens' committee,  and

          (2)  A quantitative assessment of the impact of each
               alternative upon each pertinent element of the
               environment as analyzed by unbiased professional
               environmental group.

          These two measures will then be combined to  form a
prioritized ranking of each alternative being considered.  This
ranking will serve as an important factor in selection of the
recommended system.  The process is summarized below;
          Step 1 - Each citizen will rank each environmental
          category in accordance to his judgment about what is
          important in his/her environment.   This value (ranging
          from 1 to 5) is designated "I."  Each environmental
          element will receive a value "I."

          Step 2 - To obtain a "mean importance value" for each
          citizen, the values for I will be  summed and divided
          by the total number of environmental categories, "z."
          This yields the mean importance value,  "U."

-------
Step 3 - After completing Step 2, it is necessary to
determine the "normalized importance unit" for each
environmental category to reflect one category's
relative importance to the environment as a total.
This is done by dividing each value, I, by the
mean importance unit,  tJ,  and yields the "normalized
importance unit, "N."

Step 4 - To calculate the relative importance of each
environmental category as viewed by the citizens'
groups as a total, the individual normalized impor-
tance units, N, are summed and divided by the total
number of citizens, x, filling out a response form.
This provides a weighting factor, W, for each environ-
mental category.

Step 5 - For each system alternative component (inter-
ceptor, force main, etc.), a technical evaluation will
be performed to determine the degree of environmental
impact.  Through analysis, each environmental criterion
will reflect the degree of impact with an impact value
of from 0 to 5.  This is  designated "M."
Step 6 - A Figure of Merit (FOM) or a relative degree
of impact for each alternative component is then deter-
mined by multiplying the technical impact value, M2
(Step 5),  by the citizens' weighting, W (Step 4),  and
dividing by the total number of technical environmental
criteria.

Step 7 - A FOM for the combined alternative components,
e.g., an alternative system,  is determined by summing
the FOM's for each component.

-------
Step 8 - Step 7 provides the basis for computing the
condition to the overall FOM of a system alternative
as described by individual components.  Some impacts ;
such as taxes, capital budgeting, etc;, cannot be
determined without considering a total system.  Con-
sequently, these additional items will be analyzed
and quantified as in Steps 5, 6, and 7 above.
                                       /
Step 9 - The overall FOM for a system alternative is
then determined by combining the above steps and
dividing by one (for the system) plus the sum of the
alternative components.   This final value is subtracted
from a "to be determined" number, A, to provide a range
of numbers that most poeple are accustomed to dealing
with (e.g., 1-10, 10-100, etc.).

    SUMMARY OF RATIONALE




USED IN EVALUATING COMPONENTS

-------
AIR QUALITY

-------
                         AIR QUALITY  '

COMPONENT EVALUATION

          Construction activities will generate fugitive dust.
This will have a small adverse impact on air quality.  The study
area is part of the Guilford County Air Quality Maintenance Area
(AQMA) for total suspended particulates (TSP).   The AQMA -regula-
tions require that the impact of all new sources of TSP emissions,
e.g. construction, be considered.  Dust from construction acti-
vities in or near the urban area will have the severest impact.

SYSTEM EVALUATION

          The basic alternative to be evaluated here is unplanned
growth versus planned growth.  From an air pollution standpoint,
some degree of growth can be accommodated in the study area.
Currently, the only sensitive pollutant is TSP.  AQMA regulations
should prevent future TSP problems.  Growth in the study area
should generally increase ambient levels of other pollutants.
It can be expected that automotive-intensive pollutants such as
nitrogen' oxides, hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide will be directly
related to population growth.  It is assumed that unplanned growth
results in a population more "spread out" than with planned growth.
Therefore, automobile trips would be longer and more frequent
resulting in higher emissions.  This may cause violations of am-
bient standards especially photochemical oxidant.  The "no action"
alternative therefore rates the severest impact.

                dential areas.  System components  13, 14, 15,
                16, and 17 will allow air quality to degrade
                to  some degree, but no air quality violations
                are predicted.

ODOR

-------
                            ODOR

COMPONENT EVALUATION

          At the component level odor impacts were evaluated
according to the following criteria.  First, all components
which included upgrading and/or expanding existing facilities
were rated as zero (0).   This acknowledges the fact that -exist-
ing and new equipment will be designed to reduce odors.  But the
improvements will not be substantial.  Therefore, a green flag
was not given.  Expansion of North Buffalo plant (Component 2)
is rated with a small adverse impact because the expansion will
be across the creek towards the shopping center.  For new plant
sites an adverse impact is indicated.  This is due to a new odor
source being superimposed on the area surrounding the plant site.
Odors from new, well-designed facilities will be small, but still
detectable.  It is not currently possible to further quantify
odor impacts of new plant sites.

          New outfalls will have a minor adverse effect due to
the additional odors created by septic raw sewage.  The longer
the lines the more opportunity for septicity.      •            .

SYSTEMS EVALUATION

          On the systems level each alternative which results
in a shutdown of an existing plant is assigned a green flag.
At the same time, operations at new plant sites are rated
moderately adverse (3) for the same rationale as described for
the component level.  Alternatives which include no new plant
site are rated as no change since conditions are bad now, but
no substantial benefit is indicated.  The "no action" alternative
is rated to have a small adverse impact due to the possibility
of odors from increased septic tank use and failures.

Rating          	   Component Criteria	;	'
  0             Assigned to Components 1, 3, 4, 12, 13,  and 16.
                This rating was assigned to all treatment plant
                expansions and improvements.  It is acknowledged
                that Components 1, 3, 4, 13, and 16 will result.
                in better plant operations.  The benefits, how-
                ever, are not estimated to be substantial.
                Component 12 (outfall from plant near confluence
                to Reedy Fork carrying treated effluent) will
                have no adverse impact.

                Assigned to Components 8 and 11.  The outfall in
                Component 8 will carry raw sewage an additional
                distance downstream.   This will allow more time
                for the sewage to turn septic.   The force main
                in Component 11 will be a closed system, but
                the possibility of leaks rates  a minor adverse
                impact.

  2.             Assigned to Components 2, 9,  10, and 18.  Ex-
                pansion of North Buffalo STP across the  creek
                will enplace a new odor source  nearer the shop-
                ping center.  Outfalls from South Buffalo STP
                downstream to new plant sites will cause more
                odors due to increase septicity.  "No Action"
                alternatives will result in more septic  use
                and failures.

  3.             Assigned to Components 5, 6,  7,  14,  15,  and 17.
                The new plant sites rate at moderate adverse
                impacts.   This is due to the impact of a new
                odor source on the areas surrounding the sites.
                The impacts will not  be extreme due to the plants
                being well-designed.

WATER QUALITY OF STREAMS

-------
                  WATER QUALITY OF STREAMS

COMPONENT EVALUATION               .

Component 1:

          Component 1 was given a zero CO) with no green flag.
Based on the existing water quality data and professional
judgement, the North Buffalo plant is not a major pollution
source compared to other sources of pollution in North Buffalo
Creek.

Component 2,4, 5, 6, and 7:

          These components were given a one (1) which were based
on the impact of a short-term construction during plant expansion
or construction.  The primary pollutant is sediment, with the
possibility that sediment will carry other pollutants, organics,
oil and grease, construction chemicals, etc.

Component 3:

          Component 3 was given a zero (0) with a green flag.
South Buffalo Creek is. presently overloaded with industrial wastes
and domestic sewage.   The plant was judged to be the major point
source of pollution on South Buffalo Creek.  When viewing the
other components from this point alone, any alternative that up-
grades the South Buffalo plant or removes the South Buffalo
plant, should get a zero (0) and a green flag.

Componets 8, 9, 10, and 12:

          These components are the gravity sewers to be constructed
along, in, and or crossing South Buffalo Creek,  Components 8 and
12 were give a two (2) while Components 9 and 10 were given a four
(4).   The adverse impacts will be due to construction in the stream

-------
boccom and floodplatn.  The major pollutant will be sedlmant,
however, oil and grease and construction chemicals will be present.
The increase in ranking is due to the increase in the length of
sewer and the time period of constuction'.

Component 11:

          Component 11 was given a 2 because the force main will
not follow a stream channel.  However, increases in sediment
loads can be expected due to construction activities.

SYSTEM EVALUATION

          All systems were assigned a rank of three (3).   This
ranking is based on secondary impacts common to all systems.
The degrading of stream quality will be caused by continued urban-
ization of the watersheds.  This impact cannot be completely
avoided and present control technology is limited primarily to
public awareness and public participation in keeping their city
clean (no littering, street sweeping, etc.).
                                                           v •
NO ACTION

          No action was given a three (5) with a red flag.  The
rank of five (5) is based on the large increase in the use of
septic tanks that would occur under the "no action" alternative.
In general, the soils in the Greensboro area are not suitable
for a large scale development with septic tanks.

-------
WATER QUALITY OF LAKES

-------
                   WATER QUALITY OF LAKES

COMPONENT EVALUATION

          Primary impacts were considered during the evaluation
of the components.  All components were assigned a value of zero
(0).  Presently, there are no lakes man-made or natural down-
stream of the components or systems.

SYSTEM EVALUATION

Systems 1, 2, 3, 7, and 10;

          These systems were given a rank of three (3).  A rank
of three  (3) was assigned to each of the systems following the
same reasoning used in assigning a three (3) to stream water
quality.  The reasoning is that increased urbanization in the
water supply reserovirs watershed (Reedy Fork system) will de-
grade lake water quality.  This impact was considered common to
all systems.

NO ACTION

          No action was given a five (5) with a red flag.  The
same reasoning used in stream water quality also applies to lake
water quality.  In general the soils surrounding Greensboro and
the lake system are not suitable for a large scale development
with septic tanks.

-------
STREAM FLOW AND SURFACE WATER QUANTITY

-------
           STREAM FLOW AND SURFACE WATER QUANTITY

COMPONENT EVALUATION
Component 1;

          Low flow in the North Buffalo will increase; however,
no adverse effects are expected.  Therefore, a zero  (0) was
assigned.

Component 2:

          Low flow in the North Buffalo will be further increased
by 9 mgd.  A rank of one (1) was assigned based on professional
judgement that minor errosion of the stream channel will occur.

Component 3:

          Component 3 was given a zero (0).  No significant in-
crease in stream flow will result from this component.

Component 4:

          Component 4 was given a two (2).   The low flow rate
                 *
in South Buffalo Creek will be increased by 10 mgd or 5,5 cfs.
Due to the steeper stream slopes in South Buffalo Creek versus
North Buffal Creek a larger impact from channel errosion is ex-
pected.

Component 5„ 6,  and 7;

          These components were given a rank of three (3),  four
(4), and four (4) respectively.  The adverse impact will be from
significantly reducing the low flow in the South Buffalo Creek.
The average stream flow will be reduced by 15 cfs.   The stream

-------
will become an intermittent stream.  The increase adverse ranking
between components were assigned to reflect the increase stream
length affected.

Components 8, 9, 10, 11. and 12:

          The construction and operation of the sewer collectors
will not significantly effect the stream flow rates or quantity
of water.  If ground water is encountered during construction,
this water will be discharged to the streams, however, the volume
of water will not be significnat.

SYSTEM EVALUATION

Systems 1, 2, 3, 7. 10, and No Action:

          The systems were assigned an adverse rank of three  (3).
The secondary adverse effects of increased urbanization will
significantly increase the volume of storm runoff and peak flow
rates.   Additional land will become a flood prone area removing
this land from the suitability for development or require flood
protection measures.

                      GROUND-WATER QUALITY

1.  Score of 1 to Component(s):
    - 1 and 3 because of some increased hazard form leaching

     NATURAL VEGETATION

        AQUATIC BIOTA



BIOLOGICALLY SENSITIVE AREAS

-------
                           BIOLOGY

          All ranks assigned to impacts associated with both
components and alternatives were given after comparison of the
proposed action with existing conditions, in the Greensboro.study
area.  A rank of zero (0) indicates that no adverse impact on the
existing environment is anticipated.  A rank of one (1) means
that a very slight impact is anticipated or that an impact of
unknown severity could occur.  A rank of five (5) was the highest
assigned and was reserved for the most severe of impacts.  A
"red flag" was automatically given all ranks of five (5) and
could be given any lesser rank in order to call attention to
severe impacts which might not rank as high as five (5).  A
"green flag" was used to point out especially beneficial impacts.
A rank of three (3) was assigned impacts forecasted to be of
"average" severity.

          The categories evaluated in assessing impacts on biptic
components of the natural environment were natural vegetation,
terrestrial fauna, aquatic biota, and biologically sensitive
areas.   Evaluations of impacts on natural vegetation included
considerations of the quantity, present quality, and value to
wildlife of vegetation in affected areas.  Impacts on terrestrial
fauna were assessed with regard to loss of habitat for, or out-
right destruction of wildlife.  Aquatic biota such as food chain
invertebrates, plants, and fish or waterfowl of recreational value
were considered in the evaluation of impacts on aquatic habitats.
Biologically sensitive areas considered in this assessment in-
cluded habitats of threatened/endangered species or expansive
habitats considered to provide good food and cover for wildlife
in an otherwise fragmented setting.

          At the component level, both short and long term direct
impacts were evaluated.   Generally, these are impacts associated
with construction and include direct removal of vegetation or

-------
or wildlife, erosion and subsequent siltation of streams, pol-
putant discharge into streams, death of wildlife-and loss of
                a  t
wildlife habitat around construction sites.  Indirect impacts
evaluated at the alternative level were generally the same as
those mentioned above, except that they occur as a result of
population increases after construction.

          Components which required little or no new land for
construction or that would occur in areas already heavily urban-
ized received low ranks.  When a component required removal of
large amounts of streamside (riparian) vegetation, such as the
proposed outfalls along and in South Buffalo Creek, all categories
received high ranks.  These high ranks,  and in some cases red
flags, were assigned because of loss of high quality riparian
habitat, loss of streambank stability and subsequent runoff and
siltation of associated streams, and degradation of aquatic habi-
tat quality downstream.  As the length of outfall pipelines in-
creased, higher ranks and more red flags were given based on
loss of increasing amounts of streamside vegetation, wildlife
habitat, and increased sediment levels..  The existing quality
and quantity of terrestrial and aquatic habitats increases, with
distance from the city, thereby increasing the severity of their
loss.

          All alternatives received the same relatively low ranks
because they encourage more orderly growth in areas already urban
in character.  The "no project" alternative received comparatively
higher ranks because urban growth on septic tanks is more diffused
and will affect a larger area.  The quantity of urban runoff to
area streams will increase as a result.   Ground-water quality will
be lowered as a result of septic tank discharge.  This ground
water will degrade aquatic habitat quality when it reaches streams.
For these reasons, impacts of aquatic biota associated with the
no project alternative were ranked high and red flagged.

EXISTING LAND USE

-------
                     EXISTING LAND USE

COMPONENT EVALUATION

          For each of the twelve components, direct impacts on
existing land use were examined.  Ranking was based on what the
proposed construction would do to existing land uses immediately
surrounding the proposed site.  A zero (0) was given when land
uses surrounding the site were not expected to change as a result
of the project and no acquisition of property or relocation of
families and structures would be required.  A five (5) was given
when additional property was needed in our urban area, relocation
of structures was necessary, and/or existing plans of current
uses immediately surrounding the site would be altered signifi-
cantly or aborted.

Components 1 and 3:

          Each of the upgradings are on land presently owned by
the city and used for sewage treatment.  Minimal activity is
required for construction of improvements and no adverse impacts
on existing land uses are anticipated.

Component 2:

          An apartment complex is within 3000 feet of the proposed
site as well as a shopping center.   Land would be acquired from
the shopping center for construction.   Adverse impacts are ex-
pected because shopping center expansion is planned and truck
traffic for construction and operation would be required between
the apartment complex and the shopping center.

-------
Component 4:

          Expansion will require the acquisition of land from
the experiment station of A&T and will severely impact adjacent
residential land and commercially-zoned lands.  To the north
and west of the site are residences and community facilities
which will be severely impacted.  Because access to the site is
along a residential street and the expansion activity will in-
crease the use of this access road, the cluster of houses im-
mediately north of the site might change over the planning period
to nohresidential uses.

Component 5:

          Within the immediate vicinity of this proposed site
(less than one mile),  over fifty new houses have been built with-
in the last six years.  However, no relocation of structures or
families would be required and land use for the site is presently
in open space.  Because land is being removed from its present
use and residential development is north of the site and in the
immediate vicinity, a three (3) was given to this component..

Components 6 and 7:

          The plant sites are in rural areas with little develop-
ment surrounding them.  Minimal direct impact is expected.

Components 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12:

          Adverse impacts on existing land use are expected -for
each of these components during the construction phase.  However,
long-term adverse impacts are not anticipated since lines will
be buried, vegetation can re-establish itself, and buildings can
be placed over these lines.  For the force main (Component 1),

-------
a zero (0) was assigned since this will be located along existing
rights-of-way.

SYSTEM EVALUATION:

Systems 1, 2, 3,  7, and 10:

          The adverse impacts considered under the components
cover anticipated adverse impacts at the system level.

NO ACTION:

          Severe adverse impacts are anticipated if no action
is taken because:  (1) development will continue to occur to
the northwest of the city limits and on environmentally sensitive
lands, (2) development outside the city will continue to be on
septic tanks, (3) development in Reedy Fork and Alamance will
reach a level where the water supply system is threatened, and
(4) unplanned, scattered development in outlying portions of
the county will occur resulting in areas difficult to service
with public facilities and services.

-------
FUTURE INDUSTRIAL/COMMERCIAL LAND USE

-------
            FUTURE INDUSTRIAL/COMMERICAL LAND USE

COMPONENT EVALUATION

          Fourteen-hundred additional acres of industrial land
are proposed for the study area in the year 2000.  These indus-
tries would be scattered throughout the study area with a con-
centration around the airport and in the North and South -Buffalo
basins.  By definition, for each component and each system, these
industries would be provided sewer service.

          This category also includes commercial uses.  Eighteen-
hundred additional acres are proposed for commercial uses.   As
with industries, all commercial uses would be provided sewer
service.

          For the evaluation of components and systems, adverse
impacts are anticiapted only where the location of sewage treat-
ment plant is such that industries would have difficulty and ex-
tremely high costs associated with their proposed location.  Ad-
verse impacts were likewise assigned when expansion plans of
commercial uses would be aborted.

Components 1 and 3
          Since the project activity is on existing property
being used for sewage treatment, no adverse impacts are antic
__ — .!_ _ J                  •                  '        '
                                                             now
                                                    are antici-
pated.
Components 5, 6, and 7

          Little if any industrial/commercial land uses would
be anticipated in the immediate vicinity of these sites in the
year 2000 based on the future land use plan.  Therefore, no ad-
verse impact is anticipated.

-------
Components 2 and 4

          Both of these components involve the upgrading of plants
in existing urban areas.  Component 2 has commercially zone land
within 3000 feet of the proposed action.  Also, plans to develop
this land may be dropped because of the proposed action.  Like-
wise, for Component 4, acquisition of commerical land would be
required and the shopping center's plans for expansion would be
revised or dropped.  These are greater than average adverse im-
pacts .

Components 8, 9, 10, 11. and 12

          No adverse impact is anticipated except for short
periods of time during construction.  Since development of future
industrial use could follow construction, a zero was assigned to
each of these components.                         .

SYSTEM EVALUATION

Systems 1, 2, 3. 7, and 10;

          By definition all proposed industrial/commericaluses
would be provided sewer service.  Therefore,  no additional ad-
verse impacts than those at the component level are anticipated.
          With the no action alternative, extreme adverse impacts
will occur and should be red flagged.  Plans for new industrial
development or expansion would have to be curtailed and new
industries discouraged from locating within Guilford County.
Commercial development would be similarly hampered.

-------
FUTURE RESIDENTIAL LAND USE

-------
                 FUTURE RESIDENTIAL LAND USE

          In evaluating each of the components, an assumption
is made (in accordance with the Environmental Protection Agency
Task Order and North Carolina Guidelines) that sewer service will
be provided to 95 percent of projected future residential land
uses.  For the evaluation, the transition areas, as shown on
the future land use map in Chapter II, were the baseline .for
future growth areas.

Components 1, 3, 6, and 7:

          Components 1 and 3 are the upgrading of existing plants.
No direct adverse impacts are anticipated from these projects
since the land surrounding the sites is already developed.  For
components 6 and 7, no direct adverse impacts are anticipated
because these sites are further east than residential growth is
expected.

Component 2:

          Only minor adverse impact is expected from this proposed
action.since land adjacent to the site is projected to be non-
residential.

Component 4;

          This component was given a 4 because any new residential
uses planned for the area immediately surrounding the site would
most likely be abandoned.

Component 5;

          Component 5 was considered to have an substantial ad-
verse impact on future residential land use since this is a

-------
growth area.  Subdivisions and houses have been built in the
last six years.  However, the impact was not rated as high as
Component 4 because the development around 4 is now urban with
higher densities than can be anticipated in Component 5.

Components 8. 9, 10, 11. and 12:

          The components are anticipated to have no adverse im-
pact over the long-term.  Construction activity may cause tem-
porary adverse impacts.  However, after construction building
will be permitted over the outfalls.  For the force main, no
adverse impacts are anticipated since the line will be located
in existing rights-of-way.

SYSTEM EVALUATION:                                            '

Systems 1, 2. 3, 7, and 10:

          By.definition, projected residential land uses will  .
be provided with sewer service and,  therefore, no adverse im-
pacts are anticipated.

NO ACTION:

          With no action, future residential land uses will be
adversely affected because sprawl will be encouraged.   Develop-
ment will occur with septic tanks which may threaten the water
supply of the area.  Also, residential development will continue
in the northwest portion of the study area and encroach on en-
vironmentally sensitive areas.

-------
FUTURE AGRICULTURAL LAND USE

-------
               FUTURE AGRICULTURAL LAND USE

COMPONENT EVALUATION

          Although agriculture continues to decline within the
study area, it will have a role in the future of Guilford County.
Therefore, in the component and system evaluation, it has been
assumed that existing agricultural land use in areas outs-ide of
the transition areas will remain agricultural.  The evaluation
was based on the impacts to this agricultural land.  In addition,
the land northeastward of the South Buffalo .plant was considered
to be agricultural since this belongs to A&T University and is
used as an agricultural experiment station.  Any component which
would involve the removal of this university land from agricul-
tural use was considered to have a significant adverse impact
and rates as a five (5) with a red flag.

Component 1,2. and 3:

          Components 1 and 2 are assigned a zero (0) because
future land use within the vicinity of the site would not be
future agricultural land.  Component 3 is assigned a zero (0)
because the project is not an expansion but an upgrading of the
present plant on the present site.

Component 4:

          This component was give a five (5) with a red flag
because land belonging to the experiment station would have to
be acquired and any agricultural use of the land stopped.

Components 5, 6,  and 7;

          Each of these components were assigned, a four (4)  be-
cause they remove existing and potential future agricultural lands

-------
Components 8, 9. and 10:

          Each of these components were assigned a one (1)
cause construction activity for the outfalls from South Buffalo
may disrupt experiments on A&T property.  However, when con-
struction is completed, and since outfall lines will be buried,
minimal long-term adverse impacts are anticipated.

Components 11 and 12:

          The force main from South Buffalo to North Buffalo is
through an urban area with little if any agricultural land uses.
Therefore, a zero (0) was assigned.  Component 12 will be in the
creek bed of Buffalo Creek and there, except during construc-
tion and at selected points along the creek, is not expected to
have an adverse impact on future agricultural land uses.

SYSTEMS EVALUATION;

          No additional adverse impact.

NO ACTION:

          With no action, individuals will continue to purchase
small parcels of agricultural land throughout the study area for
the development of residences.  This represents a very severe
adverse impact.

-------
OTHER FUTURE LAND USE

-------
                    OTHER FUTURE LAND USE

COMPONENT EVALUATION

          No adverse impact on other future land use can be
attributed to upgrading at existing sites (1 and 3) and to out-
falls which will be covered over allowing unlimited future
development (8 through 12).  An unknown minor adverse impact
("1") may be associated at new or expanded sites.

SYSTEM EVALUATION

          No adverse impact beyond those attributed to the
components can be attributed to the system.   No action may have
an undetermined minor adverse impact ("1").

-------
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM

-------
                    TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM

COMPONENT EVALUATION
          The direct adverse impacts on the existing transporta-
tion system would normally be on either the traffic flow or the
physical location of the components of the system or both.  Traf-
fic flow on nearby highways during the construction of new plants
or outfalls would be disrupted for nearly all components being
evaluated.  In this evaluation, none of the components will re-
quire the relocation of transportation facilities.

         . Zero impact was assigned to those components which
would have no expansion of existing acreages.  No major earth
moving equipment would be required and little concrete would
be required.  Very few workers will have to travel to the
sites to install the new equipment.  Components 1 and 3 should
have no adverse impact.

          A slight adverse impact  (1) should be associated with -
the construction of outfalls.  Causing this slight adverse im-
pact will be the movement of equipment and materials to the
construction sites.  Some disruption will occur where highways
must be crossed by pipes.  These problems are minimal since the
time of disruption is brief and because predominately rural areas
are involved.  Components 8, 9, 10, and 12 will cause minimal
adverse impacts.

          A somewhat more adverse impact (2) will be associated
with the construction of new plants or the expansion of existing
plants.  The time of disruption will be longer.  In the case of
rural sites, the roads map not be physically able to accommodate
the heavy trucks.  Components 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7 will cause this
level of adverse impact.

-------
          An extremely severe impact (5) will be experienced
with the construction of an outfall in the urbanized area (Com-
ponent 11).  More streets will have to be crossed and more
traffic will be subject to disruption.

SYSTEM EVALUATION

          All the proposed systems will have an undetermined
effect on the total system.  No obvious adverse impacts have
been recognized.  Hence, a slight adverse impact (1) is all
that can be expected.

          However, in the case of "No Action", an extremely
adverse impact will occur.  The pattern of future population
growth will feature development on septic tanks.  This will
mean low density, scattered growth.  It follows that the
transportation system will have to be expanded significantly
to serve this pattern of growth.

-------
COMMUNITY SERVICES AND FACILITIES  '

-------
              COMMUNITY SERVICES AND FACILITIES

COMPONENT EVALUATION

          To adversely affect a community service or facility,
a component would have to cause a structure to be moved or dis-
rupt the provision of a service.  Only Component 12 should cause
any problems.   Since it involves much traffic disruption -in an
urbanized area, vehicular services such as police, fire, and
ambulance may be made less efficient.

SYSTEM EVALUATION
          The aggregate effects of the respective systems are
unknown.  No substantial adverse impacts have been detected.
However, no action alternative will have a severe impact related
to residential sprawl in rural areas and the added cost of pro-
viding services to those areas.  -

-------
ONGOING PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS

-------
                ONGOING PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS

COMPONENT EVALUATION

          Programs such as U.S. Army Corps of Engineer water pro-
jects, major construction activities, highway construction, and
the like have been considered in section.  A slight adverse im-
pact on other programs may be associated with any activity.  For
this reason most components were scored "1".  However, component
"4" will cause the termination of activities underway or scheduled
at North .Carolina A&T University.  This is a major adverse impact.

SYSTEM EVALUATION

          All systems may have a slight adverse impact on other
projects and program in a manner similar to the components.  No
action will have a severe adverse mpact on all proposed activi-
ties, public and private, since sewage treatment will be a con-
straint on development.

-------
CULTURAL RESOURCES

-------
                     CULTURAL RESOURCES

COMPONENT EVALUATION
          The primary cultural resources which could be affected
are archaeological and are probably located along the streams
of the area.  A project on previously disturbed land will have
no adverse impact.  Construction at a particular site has a low
probability of effecting archaeological artifacts and may, there-
fore, have a slight adverse impact (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7).  Outfalls
along streams will have an increasing probability of adverse im-
pact as the length of the outfall increases (8, 9, 10, 12).  Com-
ponent 12 is an outfall in an urban area and should have little
possible adverse impact.

          With respect to other cultural resources such as churches,
historical sites,  recreational facilities,  and the like, none of
the components are close enough to cause adverse effects.

SYSTEM EVALUATION                                            .

          All systems will have an unknown effect .on cultural
resources.  No action will probably be more severe since rural
areas will have to be utilized for residential land and the
probability of archaeological loss increases.

-------
RESOURCE USE PATTERNS

-------
                    RESOURCE USE PATTERNS

COMPONENT EVALUATION

          The pattern of urban growth was determined before the
components were selected.  Hence, the components are to serve
that pattern and will not change it.  This pattern should be
held as the norm and assumed to be efficient with respect to
resource allocation and utilization in the Greensboro area.  No
adverse impacts have been identified.

SYSTEM EVALUATION                    .

          As a system, a set of components (zero impact on each)
may have some adverse impact on resource allocation and utiliza-
tion.  Since this impact is unknown, it must be scored as minimal
("1").  However, no action will have an extremely adverse effect
on the cost effective utilization of resources.   Rural sprawl
will be very expensive in terms of labor and materials (especially
energy).

Evaluation of Title VI of

Recommendations by U.S. EPA's

   DATE:


SUBJECT:




   FROM:



     TO:
          UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

July 12, 1977

Greensboro, N.C. Project

Matthew J. Robbins    _    	, ,.  y
Regional Director, Officyfi of Civil Rights, fiftlrban Affairs


John Hagan
           This memorandum is to provide information regarding Title VI
           considerations on subject project.

           Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 USC 2000d to d-4,
           prohibits discrimination on the grounds of race, color,  or
           national origin in programs and activities receiving federal
           financial assistance.  Title VI provides that,  "No person in
           the United States shall be excluded from participation f.n, be
           denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrmination in
           such programs or activities.  Title VI applies  to any program
           authorized under a statue administered by the agency, including
           all EPA grant programs or activities (including, but not limited
           to those listed in 40 CFR 30.301-4), and assistance under the
           Uniform Relocation Assistance and Land Acquisition Policies
           Act of 1970 (42 U.S.C. 4621 et. seq.).  Accordingly, Title VI
           of the Act applies to any and all parts of the wastewater
           treatment system.

                Based upon meetings attended by me and my staff, and upon
           on-site review and information provided this Office by the
           National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and
           the Greensboro Citizens Association, I present the following
           Title VI evaluation:  If EPA provides financial assistance for
           the upgrading of the South Buffalo Wastewater Treatment Plant
           located adjacent to a predominantly minority community,  the
           agency will in effect be supporting an existing discriminatory
           situation.  Present effects of past patterns of discrimination
           have been challenged successfully in the courts.

                Historical background indicates that prior to open housing,
           in Greensboro, racial discrimination in housing practices
           restricted minorities to Southeast Greensboro.   Until the 1960's,
           Blacks had only one area within which to purchase homes.  Blacks
           were not permitted to purchase real estate in other neighborhoods
EPA Form 13206 (Rev. 3 76)

-------
until long after the enactment of the Federal Fair Housing Law
Title VIII of the 1968 Civil Rights Act.  During the early 1970's
an additional area known as the Kings Forest Subdivision was
opened to Blacks.  This community is now predominantly Black.
As is evident in many municipalities, practices in housing dis-
crimination allowed wastewater treatment facilities construction
adjacent to minority communities less able to fight site
selection.

     According to the Greensboro, N.C. Chapter of the NAACP and
the Greensboro Citizens Association, the minority residents of
Greensboro have suffered grossly by the existing plant in question.
These organizations are prepared to move legally to protect their
civil rights.

     It is the opinion of this Office that the funding for the
upgrading of the Southeast Buffalo Wastewater Treatment System
will in effect perpetuate discrimination and cause direct conflict
with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.  From a civil rights
perspective, alternate proposal 2-A possesses the most feasible location.
Not only will 2-A satisfy environmental concerns, it will comply  with
the provisions of Title VI of the Civil Rights of 1964.

     Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you move forward
with site alternative 2-A as proposed.  It is recognized that costs
will be significantly higher utilizing this alternative, in comparison
with upgrading the South Buffalo Creek Plant.  However, it is
incumbent upon the City of Greensboro to take the more stringent
action to redress the plight of their citizens, and it is important
that EPA assist in this significant program through Agency civil
rights accountability and financial assistance.
