Moffitt Hill Road is presently 12 to 16 feet wide. We plan to pave the road 18 feet wide and increase the typical section. The proposed typical section is also attached. Grading will be moderate to heavy. We propose to replace/extend two (2) pipes that carry live streams at survey station 9 + 70 (we propose to upgrade the existing 24" pipe with a 36" pipe) and survey station 17 + 10. We also propose to channel change from survey station 8 + 40 to survey station 9 + 45 on the right. By a copy of this letter, we are asking Chris Goudreau, North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission District Fisheries Biologist, to comment directly to you concerning the nationwide permit request. A request to work within the twenty-five foot buffer zone will be made to the Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources at a later date. By a copy of this letter, we are also asking Mr. E. L. Ingle, Area Roadside Environmental Engineer, to comment on the above project.

WILMINGTON DISTRICT, CORPS OF ENGINEERS P.O. BOX 1890 NUV - 9 Am WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA 28402-1890 IN REPLY REFER TO November 1, 1993 Regulatory Branch Action ID No. 199400363 and Nationwide Permit No. 26 (Headwaters and Isolated Waters) Mr. Stephen A. Moore State of North Carolina Department of Transportation Route 1, Box 169-C Marion, North Carolina 28752 Dear Mr. Moore: Reference your October 13, 1993 application for Department of the Army (DA) authorization to replace/extend 2 culverts and relocate approximately 105 linear feet of Guthrie Branch as part of the paving and widening of SR 1110 (Moffitt Hill Road), near old Fort, in McDowell County, North Carolina. Less than 1/10 of an acre of headwater stream channel will be impacted by the work and no wetlands will be impacted. This project has been coordinated with the NC Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC). For the purposes of the 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 was provided, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, for discharges of dredged or fill material into headwaters and isolated waters. Your work is authorized by this nationwide permit provided it is accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed conditions. This nationwide permit does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain other 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. -2- Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Steve Chapin, Asheville Field Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone (704) 271-4014.
