Dear Dr. Goode:
George T. Everett, Ph.D.
Director
Subject: Proposed Fill in Headwaters or Isolated Wetlands
Road Widening
Duplin County
Upon review of your request for Water Quality Certification
to place fill material in 1.2 acres of wetlands for road widening
of NC 24 from SR 1723 to Beulaville, we have determined that the
proposed fill can be covered by General Water Quality
Certification No. 2176 issued November 4, 1987. A copy of the
General Certification is attached. This Certification may be
used in qualifying for coverage under Corps of Engineers'
Nationwide Permit No. 26. The box culvert invert should be
placed at or below the bottom of the streambed to prevent flow
restriction.
If you have any questions, please contact John Dorney
at 919/733-5083.
Sincerely,
41 George T. Everett

or III (public water supplies) and SA (shellfish
waters). This exclusion also applies to fill in

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The North Carolina Department of
Transportation proposes to construct an additional two lanes with
divided median on NC HWY 24 from east of SR 1723 to Beulaville.
The project will require the filling of approximately 1.2 acres
of wetlands.
ADJACENT WATER BODY: Limestone Creek
CLASSIFICATION: C Swamp waters
The project has been reviewed to determine impacts to water
quality. The following comments have been provided.
1. The project will require a 401 Water Quality Certification.
2. The project complies with the General 401 Water Quality
Certification No. 2176 for the placement of fill material in
headwaters or isolated wetlands.
3. The proposed project should be done in such a way as to not
cause the turbidity outside the immediate construction area
to exceed 50 NTU.
4. That the box culvert invert be placed at or below the bottom
of the stream. The existing culvert at this site
restricts flow during dry conditions.
This office has no objection to the project as proposed.
