Dear Mr. Moul:
On April 1, 1988, we received your request on behalf of the
Vista Shores Development, Inc., plans to develop the Vista Point
subdivision within the headwaters of Topsail Creek, north of
Hampstead, in Pender County, North Carolina. Your client plans to
place fill material on 0.97 acre of wetlands (headwaters) and to
construct a 74-foot-long, 20-foot-wide fill access roadway (minor
road crossing) within the Vista Point subdivision.
For the purposes of the Corps of Engineers' Regulatory
Program, Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330,
published in the Federal Register on November 13, 1986, lists
nationwide permits. Authorization was provided for minor road
crossing fills including all attendant features, both temporary
and permanent, that are part of a single and complete project for
crossing of a non-tidal waterbody, provided that the crossing is
culverted, bridged or otherwise designed to prevent the
restriction of, and to withstand expected high flows and provided
further that discharges into any wetlands adjacent to the
waterbody do not extend beyond 100 feet on either side of the
ordinary high water mark of that waterbody. Authorization was
provided for discharges of dredged or fill material into non-tidal
rivers, streams, and their lakes and impoundments, including
adjacent wetlands, that are located above the headwaters and other
non-tidal waters of the United States, including adjacent
wetlands, that are not a part of a surface tributary system to
interstate waters or navigable waters of the United States.

CONDITIONS
a. Any discharge of dredged or fill material will not occur in the
proximity of a public water supply.
b. The activity will not jeopardize a threatened or endangered species as
identified under the Endangered Species Act, or destroy or adversely modify
the cultural habitat of such species.
c. Any discharge of dredged or fill material will consist of suitable
material free from toxic pollutants.
d. Any structure or fill will be properly maintained.
e. An individual State water quality certification must be obtained or
waived. Conditions of certification will be considered to be special
conditions of the Federal nationwide permit.
f. The following management practices will be followed to the maximum
practical extent:
(1) Discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United
States will be avoided or minimized through the use of other practical
alternatives.
(2) Discharges in spawning areas during spawning seasons will be
avoided.
(3) Discharges will not restrict or impede the movement of aquatic
species indigenous to the waters or the passage of normal or expected high
flows or cause the relocation of the waters (unless the primary purpose of the
fill is to impound water).
(4) If the discharge creates an impoundment of water, adverse impacts
on the aquatic system caused by the accelerated passage of water and/or the
restriction of its flow will be minimized.
(5) Discharge in wetland areas will be avoided.
(6) Heavy equipment working in wetlands will be placed on mats.
(7) Discharges into breeding areas for migratory waterfowl will be
avoided.
(8) All temporary fills will be removed in their entirety.
