APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Mr. John L. Parsons
Asst. Division Superintendent
NC Natural Gas Corp.
Post Office box 1206
Rockingham, NC 28379-1206
Dear Mr. Parsons:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place temporary fill in 0.50 acres
of wetlands or waters for the purpose of constructing a gas pipeline within an existing 50 foot cleaned
easement in Richmond County as you described in your application dated August 14, 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. H 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.
Sincerely,
ton How Jr. P.E.
