APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
Wanchese Fish Co.
Attn: Joey Daniels
P.O. Box 319
Wanchese, NC 27981
Dear Mr. Daniels:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill material
in 0.1 acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose of constructing a parking lot at Wanchese Fish Co. on SR 1142,
as you described in your application dated 29 April 1997. After reviewing your application, we have decided that
this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3106. This certification allows you to use
Nationwide Permit Number 18 when it is issued by the Corps of Engineers. In addition, you should get any other
federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and
Erosion Control, Coastal Stormwater, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This approval will
expire when the accompanying 404 or CAMA permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General
Certification.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application except as
modified below. If you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new
application. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation
may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to be valid, you must
follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional conditions listed below. Deed
restrictions, conservation easements or similar mechanisms shall be placed in all lots with remaining jurisdictional
wetlands and waters to prevent future fill. These mechanisms shall be put in place within 30 days of the date of this
letter. An additional condition is that all solid waste must be removed from the site and placed in an approved
landfill before clean fill is installed The applicant is required to contact the Washington Regional Office of the
N.C. Division of Coastal Management before the wetland or water impact occurs to determine whether a CAMA
Permit is needed for this project.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You
must act within 60 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 Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act.
If you have any questions, please telephone John Dorney at 919-733-1786.
Sincerely,
A. Presto Howard, Jr. P.E.

Coastal Management to determine their requirements.
Placement of dredged or fill material in wetlands on this property without a Department of the Army
permit is in most cases a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1311). A permit is
not required for work on the property restricted entirely to existing high ground. If you have any
