Subject: Guilford County, Widening of Wendover Avenue,
placement of 16" water line underneath East Fork
Deep River, State Project No. 8.2491703, TIP No.
U-2413 B.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes
to construct a 16" DI water main under the East Fork Deep
River. The water main trench will be constructed to the
elevation shown on the enclosed drawings utilizing a backhoe.
The excavated material will be stockpiled on site in an
upland area. After completion of the excavation and
placement of the water line, the stockpiled material will be
used to backfill the trench. Please note that the final
bottom elevation will be approximately one foot lower than
the existing bottom elevation. This change in bottom
elevation, as well as the widening and rip rapping of the
river banks, is necessary for the proper construction and
maintenance of the culvert crossing of Wendover Avenue. This
culvert crossing, including channel widening, rip rapping and
changing the bottom elevation, has previously been determined
to be authorized under Nationwide Permit 14 (Road Crossing), cv`
and did not require environmental agency notification. )-,V
It is expected that the utility line construction,
including the backfilling, will take approximately one to two
weeks.
It is anticipated that this construction activity
qualifies for Federal authorization pursuant to the pre-
discharge notification provisions set forth in Nationwide
PHONE [phone] FAX[phone]

Permit 33 CFR 330.5(a)(12). Application is hereby made for
Department of Army permits as required for such activities.
Enclosed please find a pre-discharge notification form and
permit drawings for this project. We are also requesting a
401 Water Quality Certification from the Division of
Environmental Management.
By copy of this letter we are also requesting comments
from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine
Fisheries Service regarding the presence of any federally
listed or proposed threatened or endangered species or
critical habitat, and from the State Historic Preservation
Office regarding the presence of any historic properties in
the area. Any comments from these agencies should be provided
directly to the Corp of Engineers.
If you have any questions, or if we may provide any
further information, please contact Mr. Doug Huggett of
NCDOT's Environmental Unit at [phone].

Dear Mr. Vick:
Referenced is made to your application dated November 24, 1993, for the
proposed water main improvement project located off Wendover Avenue adjacent
East Fork Deep, Greensboro, Guilford County, North Carolina. Reference is
also made to the site visit conducted on December 1, 1993, by Mr. John Thomas
of my staff at the site of the proposed water main project. The purpose of
the site visit was to review plans for the aforementioned water main project,
and to inspect the site for waters and wetlands subject to Department of the
Army permitting authority.
The site visit revealed and the plans/profiles for the aforementioned
project provided with a notification application form showed that you propose
construction for the aforementioned water main below natural grade within a
40-foot construction easement adjacent East Fork Deep River. Also your plans
and profiles show other sections of the proposed water main either located on
high ground or elevated over waters of the United States without discharge of
fill into regulated areas.
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 (NWP).
Authorization, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, was provided
for the discharge of material for backfill or bedding for utility lines,
including outfall and intake structures, provided there is no change in pre-
construction contours.
Your work is authorized by this NWP provided it is accomplished in strict
accordance with the enclosed conditions. Please be aware that this
authorization does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain any other
required or local approval. You should contact Mr. John Dorney, North
.d 1.
-2-
Carolina Division of Environmental Management, [phone], to obtain the
necessary Section 401, Water Quality Certification prior to starting work.
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 NWP authorization is reissued without modification or the activity
complies with any subsequent modification of the NWP authorization. If during
the 2 years, the NWP 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 NWP, activities which have commenced (i.e., are under
construction) or are under contract to commence in reliance upon the NWP will
remain authorized provided the activity is completed within 12 months of the
date of the NWP's expiration, modification or revocation, unless discretionary
authority has been exercised on a case-by-case base to modify, suspend or
revoke the authorization.
Thank you for your time and cooperation. If you have any questions,
please contact Mr. Thomas, Raleigh Regulatory Field office, telephone (919)
876-8441.
Sincerely,
G. Wayne Wright
