APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Mr. and Mrs. Jeffrey Buchanan
6419 Harburn Forest Drive
Charlotte, NC 28269
Dear Mr. Buchanan:
You have our approval to place fill material in 0.05 acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose of
developing a residential lot at your lot in Highland Creek subdivision, as you described in your application
dated 26 December 1996. 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. 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. In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local
permits before you go ahead with your project. Also this approval will expire when the accompanying 404 or
CAMA permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General 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.
Sincerely,
Pon, HowardJr. P.E.

Proposed Work Plan
To all it may concern regarding lot 6419 Harburn Forest:
The yards of 6419 and 6415 on Harburn Forest Drive do not have positive
drainageto the designed grass lined channel on the rear property line.
Therefore, these lots are not draining properly, which causes water to stand on
these lots.
To correct the problem, we propose to fill lot 6419 with dirt to adjust the slope
toward the grass lined channel using a front end loader. By diverting water
toward the grass lined channel, this will reduce the water standing in both lots.
Please see the attached diagram to explain further how this proposed work will
benefit lots 6419 and 6423.
The fill dirt will be grassed.
