WQC 401 Project #970336
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill material in 0.356 acres
of wetlands or waters for the purpose of constructing an apartment complex at Carpenter's Grove, as you
described in your application dated 11 April 1997. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this
fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Numbers 3101 and 3108. These Certifications allow
you to use Nationwide Permit Numbers 12 and 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 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.
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,

Dear Mr. Dorney and Mr. Alsmeyer:
The purpose of this letter is to request Nationwide Permits 12 and 26 for a total of 0.356 acres of
permanent wetland impacts resulting from construction of Carpenter's Grove. The project which

Morrisville-Carpenter Road (see vicinity map).
The wetland delineation has been reviewed in the field by Ms. Amy Ohlberg formerly of the U. S.
Army Corps of Engineers.
The construction of sewer lines will result. in permanent impacts totaling 0.039 acres; temporary
impacts resulting from utility line installation totals 0.078 (see site plan). No impacts to channels
are proposed. Grading for lot and road placement totals 0.326 acres. Impacts to the large
floodplain associated with the property have been minimized.
Please call if you have questions or require further information. If you decide to perform a site
visit, please contact us so we can arrange for someone to accompany you.
