You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill material in 1.0 acres of
wetlands or waters for the purpose of constructing sewer line at Meadow Branch and Spring Branch
Interceptors, as you described in your application dated 27 January 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.
This Certification is valid effective 11 February 1997.
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. 276 1 1-7447. This certification and its conditions
are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.

Act. If you have any questions, please telephone John Dorsey at 919-733-1786.
Sincerely,

You have provided the 401 Water Quality Certification (DEM Project #960511) for the Meadow
Branch Interceptor which parallels the Corps of Engineers General Permit Verification (Action Id.
199604187). The Corps' Verification has expired and we have added approximately 4,730 linear
feet of line along Spring Branch (shown as Halfway Branch on some maps) to the project.
Seven copies of the appropriate form are enclosed. Please issue a 401 Water Quality Certification
for the Spring Branch Interceptor (or add it to the one for Meadow Branch, if you prefer). The intent
is to bid and construct both interceptors as one project. If you would like to have a guide to walk
the line with, please advise.
Thank you for your assistance. Should you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact this office.
Very truly yours,
