Finding of No Significant Impact Rehabilitation of Water and Wastewater Systems at Balsam Mountain Campground and Heintooga Picnic Area

The Regional Director, Interior Region 2, South Atlantic - Gulf signed a Finding of No Significant Impact for Rehabilitation of Water and Wastewater Systems at Balsam Mountain Campground and Heintooga Picnic Area on October 13, 2022. Alternative 2, the preferred alternative, was selected. Under the selected alternative, the water and wastewater systems serving the campground and picnic area will be rehabilitated. The improvements will support visitor services in this remote location by continuing to provide safe drinking water and proper wastewater treatment and disposal, while reducing system maintenance requirements.

Located on the North Carolina side of the park at about 5,300 feet in elevation, the campground and picnic area are open seasonally, typically mid-May through mid-October. To minimize inconvenience to visitors and campers, most construction would be scheduled while the campground and picnic area are seasonally closed.
