Smithfield, NC 27577
Dear Mr. Self:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to permanently fill in 0S3 and
temporary impact 0.26 acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose of water and sewer installation at This End
Up as you described in your application dated September 26, 1997. After reviewing your application, we have
decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3101 This Certification allows
you to use Nationwide Permit Number 12 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. Also 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. 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). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed
in the attached certification.
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.

14. STATE REASONS WHY IT IS BELIEVED THAT THIS ACTIVITY MUST BE CARRIED OUT IN
WETLANDS. (INCLUDE ANY MEASURES TAKEN TO MINIMIZE WETLAND IMPACTS):
The proposed sewer improvements are to provide public sewer to the This End Up Warehouse site.
The proiect is needed to improve the economy in Johnston County and more specifically the Benson
area. The warehouse site does not impact any wetland areas. The alignment of the gravity sewer by
selecting the south side of the creek, minimized the impact on the wetlands. This alignment avoids
having to cross the creek area. The alignment has been pulled away from the creek as much as
possible to avoid the wetlands. A second alignment of constructing a pump station with a force main
was reviewed. Based on the cost of the station and generator and the limited area of benefited use, this
alternative was not selected.
