Dear Mr. Atkins:

iVER 011 iL IT'S F" -"
Reference is made to your letter of May 20, 1993, regarding your plans to
discharge dredged/fill material into the waters/wetlands of an unnamed
tributary of Elk Creek, associated with the extending of an existing pipe
culvert with the correction of a hazardous shoulder area on S.R. 1317, east of
Piney Creek, 3'leghany County,` North Carolina. Reference is also made to
Mr. Joe Mickey's letter of May 27, 1993, in which the North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission expressed no objections to the planned road improvements
provided that:
a. No heavy equipment is operated in the live streams in order to
minimize sedimentation and prevent introduction of other pollutants.
b. Erosion control measures should be implemented where soil is disturbed
and maintained until project completion.
For the purposes of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program,
Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330.6, published in the
Federal Register on November 22, 1991, lists nationwide permits.
Authorization, pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899
and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, was provided for the repair,
rehabilitation, or replacement of any previously authorized, currently
serviceable structure or fill; or of any currently serviceable structure or
fill constructed prior to the requirement for authorization, provided that the
structure or fill is not to be put to uses differing from those uses specified
or contemplated for it in the original permit or the most recently authorized
modification.
Special conditions of this permit state that before discharging dredged or
fill material into waters of the United States occurring within the 25
mountain counties of North Carolina that contain trout waters, the applicant
will obtain a letter of approval from the North Carolina Wildlife Resource
ti .
-2-
Commission. Review of the information you have provided, and the comments
submitted by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, reveals that
your proposed work of the extension of an existing culvert for the purpose of
upgrading to meet current safety standards, is authorized by nationwide permit
provided it is accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed conditions
and the recommendations set forth by the Wildlife Resources Commission. This
nationwide permit does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain any
required State or local approval.
This verification will be valid for 2 ,years from the date of this
letter unless the nationwide authorization is modified, reissued, or revoked.
Also, this verification will remain valid for the 2 years if, during that
period, the nationwide permit authorization is reissued without modification
or the activity complies with any subsequent modification of the nationwide
permit authorization. If during the 2 years, the nationwide permit
authorization expires or is suspended or revoked, or is modified, such that
the activity would no longer comply with the terms and conditions of the
nationwide permit, activities which have commenced (i.e., are under
construction) or are under contract to commence in reliance upon the
nationwide permit will remain authorized provided the activity is completed
within 12 months of the date of the nationwide permit's expiration,
modification or revocation, unless discretionary authority has been exercised
on a case-by-case basis to modify, suspend, or revoke the authorization.
Thank you for your time and cooperation. If you have any questions,
please contact Mr. John Thomas, Raleigh Regulatory Field Office, telephone
[phone].
Sincerely,
G. Wayne Wright
