You have our approval to place fill material in 7.0 acres of wetlands or waters for the
purpose of catfish pond construction at SR 1514, as you described in your application
dated 25 April 1994. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is
covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 2671. This certification allows
you to use Nationwide Permit Number 26 when it is issued by the Corps of Engineers.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your
application. If you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to
send us a new application. For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions
listed in the attached certification. In addition, you should get any other federal, state or
local permits before you go ahead with your project.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an
adjudicatory hearing. You must act within 30 days of the date that you receive this letter.
To ask for a hearing, send a written petition which conforms to Chapter 150B of the
North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box
27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. This certification and its conditions are final and
binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Environmental Management under
Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you have any questions, please telephone John
Dorney at 919-733-1786.

Dear Mr. Dorney:
lJ,
1
In response to your letter of June 21, 1994, please be
advised of the following:
1) The PC fields shown on the ASCS aerial photograph are
my source of farm income. I cannot take these fields
out of production.
2) I desire to go into the catfish business to diversify
my farming interest and for additional farm income.
3) The acreage of wetland fill is closer to 7 acres
instead of the 10 acres noted in your letter.
I contacted the SCS District Conservationist and requested
he make a field visit for an on-site wetland determination
as the first wetland determination was made from maps in the
office. I am attaching a copy of his findings.
I hope this information will assist you in approving my
permit for catfish farming.
ncerely,
Donnie Long

Dear Mr. Long
The Division of Environmental I
Section has reviewed your plans fo
wetlands at SR 1514 in Bladen Coun

ponds. Based on this review, we blyiiiii.cant uses
which would be removed by this project. These uses are water
storage, pollutant removal and wildlife habitat. Furthermore,
insufficient evidence is present in our files to conclude that
your project must be built as planned in wetlands. Therefore, we
are moving toward denial of your 401 Certification. Until we
receive additional information, we are requesting (by copy of
this letter) that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers place your
project on administrative hold.
Please provide us with information supporting your position
that your project must be constructed as planned and that you
have no practicable alternative to fill of these wetlands.
Specifically can you construct your catfish on nearby uplands or
prior converted farmland either partially or entirely? Any
documentation such as maps and narrative which you can supply to
address upland alternatives may be helpful in our review of your
401 Certification. Please respond within two weeks of the date
of this letter by sending a copy of this information to me and
one copy to our Mr. Ken Averitte at the Fayetteville Regional
Office at Wachovia Bldg., Suite 714, Fayetteville, N.C. 28301.
