You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill material in 0.5 acres of
wetlands or waters for the purpose of constructing a road at CP&L's Lee Steam Plant, as you described in
your application dated 5 May 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. 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. 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). 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.

Subject: Requested Approval of Road Crossing of Canal at CP&L's Lee Steam Plant
Dear Messrs. Biddlecome and Dorney:
Carolina Power & Light Company (CP&L) is planning to construct an internal combustion
turbine generating facility (CT site) adjacent to its Lee Steam Electric Plant in Wayne County
(Enclosure 1, Figures 1-2A). To facilitate access between the Lee Plant and the CT site, as well
as access to an existing substation, CP&L intends to construct a road across an existing manmade
canal (the "bypass canal", Enclosure 1, Figure 3), and is requesting Corps' and NCDWQ's
approval of the project.
The proposed road will cross from high ground to high ground, spanning the approximately 65-
foot wide bypass canal. The roadbed will be earthen-filled, with the side slopes stabilized using
filter fabric covered with riprap. Two 48-inch reinforced concrete pipes will be installed to
ensure free movement of water through the bypass canal. The total project "footprint" within the
canal and adjacent previously-delineated wetlands is estimated to be between 0.4 and 0.5 acre
(Enclosure 1, Figure 3). The construction will be confined to the bypass canal and will not
impact wetlands or impede the free movement of fish in the adjacent Neuse River.

Messrs. Biddlecome and Dorney 2
May 5, 1997
Enclosure 2 contains CP&L's application for the Corps permit. We would appreciate your
agencies' review and approval of this proposed project. If you have any questions, please contact
Mr. Buzz Bryson in the Environmental Services Section at [phone].
Very truly yours,
Joel Y. mya
