Spartanburg, NC 29305
Dear Mr. Smith:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill
material in 0.031 acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose of constructing road crossings at Lake Adger
Development as you described in your application dated November 25 1997. After reviewing your application, we
have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3103. This certification
allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 14 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
opplication. 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.
1. Deed notifications, conservation easements or similar mechanisms shall be placed in all lots with remaining
jurisdictional wetlands and waters to prevent future wetland and/or water impact. These mechanisms shall be put
in place before fill of wetlands or waters occurs. Two copies of this easement shall be sent to DWQ Central
office below.
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 Domey at 919-733-1786.

SUBJECT: Pre-construction Notification - Nationwide Permit 14
Lake Adger Development - Polk County, NC
Dear Mr. Chapin, Mr. Davis, and Mr. Dorney:
35
We recently submitted a Pre-construction Notification (PCN), dated November 12, 1997, to
construct road crossings under Nationwide Permit No. 14. During an on-site inter-agency
meeting on Novem 7, several revisions to the submittal were suggested. Please
find attached the r vised PC to impact 0.031 acres of waters of the U.S. for minor road
crossings associated e Lake Adger Development, located along the south side of Lake
Adger, near Columbus, Polk County, North Carolina. The following information is
contained in the PCN:
1) Completed PCN form
2) Project location maps
3) Location of crossings on 7.5 minute quadrangle map (Mill Spring)
4) Plan view of Phase D showing crossings, with cross-sections & erosion control
detail
1

The project consists of constructing five individual road crossings within the proposed Lake
Adger development. The purpose of the work is to provide access for single family
residential development. The five crossings will occur in Phase D of the proposed
development -- the first three phases of the development (Phases A, B, and C) have been
approved previously. The project area is approximately 250 acres. The impacts to waters
for the individual crossings and their dimensions are listed in Table 1 below.
Table 1. Road crossing data for Phase D of Lake Adger Development.
ROAD CROSSING/TYPE DEUENSIONS (Feet) ACREAGE (Square Feet)
D1 - Waters 40 x 20 - New crossing 800
D2 - Waters 7 x 6 - Replaced/extended 42
D3 - Waters 40 x 4 - New crossing 160
D4 - Waters Replaced, not extended 0
D5 - Waters 40 x 2 - Replaced/extended 80
Total 127 linear feet 1,082 - (0.024 acres)
All the road crossings cross only waters of the U.S., commonly known as bed-and-bank
streams. These stream crossings are generally well incised, small tributary streams ranging
from two to six feet wide. Road crossing D1 crosses Ostin Creek, a moderate stream,
averaging 20 feet wide and one foot deep.
All road crossings are single crossings of separate waterbodys. Three of the five road
crossings are located at the site of smaller, existing crossings. Only two of the three existing
crossings will require additional impact. The only significant crossing is the crossing of
Ostin Creek (D1). This crossing has been designed for the 100-year flood and will use two
10 ft. x 10 ft. box culverts. The culverts will be buried in the stream bed approximately one
foot to allow natural stream bottom materials to become established in the culverts and to
allow unrestricted passage of fish and invertebrates.
We believe that the subject crossings are candidates for authorization under NWP 14 since
they meet the following conditions:
1) The width of the fill is limited to the minimum necessary for the actual
crossing...
2) The fill is limited to an area of no more than one-third of an acre, and no
more than 200 linear feet of the fill will occur in a special aquatic site...
2
f
3) The crossings are culverted to prevent the restriction of, and to withstand,
expected high flows, and to prevent the restriction of low flows and the
movement of aquatic organisms...
4) The crossings and attendant features are part of a single and complete project
for crossing a water of the U.S.
Accordingly, we are seeking authorization for five individual road crossings under NWP 14.
Please provide your response to this notification at your earliest convenience. Please call
Mr. Nick Roark at [phone], or Mr. Jim Smith at [phone] if you have any
questions, or if you wish to conduct a site visit. We appreciate your consideration in this
matter.
Sincerely,
D. Nick Roark

SUBJECT: Pre-construction Notification - Nationwide Permit 14
Lake Adger Development - Polk County, NC
Dear Mr. Chapin, Mr. Davis, and Mr. Dorney:
Please find attached a Pre-construction Notification (PCN) to impact 0.092 acres of
waters/wetlands for minor road crossings associated with the Lake Adger Development,
located along the south side of Lake Adger, near Columbus, Polk County, North Carolina.
The following information is contained in the PCN:
1) Completed PCN form
2) Project location maps
3) Location of crossings on 7.5 minute quadrangle map (Mill Spring)
4) Location of road crossings on 1:400 scale topographic map
5) Plan view of Phase D showing crossings, with cross-sections & erosion control
detail
The project consists of constructing eight individual road crossings within the proposed Lake
Adger development. The purpose of the work is to provide access for single family
residential development. The eight crossings will occur in Phase D of the proposed
devejpment -- the first three phases of the development (Phases A, B, and C) have been
approved previously. The project area is approximately 250 acres. The impacts to
waters/wetlands for the individual crossings and their dimensions are listed in Table 1 below.
Table 1. Road crossing data for Phase D of Lake Adger Development.
ROAD CROSSING/TYPE DMENSIONS (Feet) ACREAGE (Square Feet)
Dla - Waters 60 x 25 1,500
D lb - Wetlands •60 x 15 900
D2 - Waters 45 x 6 270
D3 - Waters 45 x 8 360
D4 - Waters 60 x 4 270
D5 - Waters 45 x 6 270
D6 - Waters 45 x 4 180
D7 - Waters 45 x 2 90
D8 - Waters 60 x 2 90
Total 405 linear feet 4,020 - (0.092 acres)
All the road crossings except D1 cross only waters of the U.S., commonly known as bed-
and-bank streams. These stream crossings are generally well incised, small tributary streams
ranging from two to six feet wide. Road crossing Dl crosses Ostin Creek, a moderate
stream with a small wetland fringe along one side. Dimensions of the wetland (Dlb) and
waters (Dla) impacts have been shown separately for this crossing.
All road crossings are single crossings of separate waterbodys. Six of the eight road
crossings are expansions of existing road crossings. The only significant crossing is the
crossing of Ostin Creek (DI). This crossing has been designed for the 100-year flood and
will use two 10 ft. x 10 ft. box culverts. The culverts will be buried in the stream bed
approximately one foot to allow natural stream bottom materials to become established in the
culverts and to allow unrestricted passage of fish and invertebrates.
We believe that the subject crossings are candidates for authorization under NWP 14 since
they meet the following conditions:
1) The width of the fill is limited to the minimum necessary for the actual
