Waters)

State of North Carolina
Department of Transportation

Boone, North Carolina 28607
Dear Mr. Cates:
Reference your April 29, 1993 application for Department of the Army
authorization to do emergency repairs for flood damage at 4 locations in the
channel of an unnamed tributary to Grassy Creek, along S.R. 1351, near Sands,
in Watauga County, North Carolina. The road shoulder flood damage repair will
be done with riprap at the 4 locations. Less than 0.1 acres of headwater
wetlands and stream channel will be impacted by the work. This project has
been coordinated with the NC Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC).
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 was provided, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act,
for discharges of dredged or fill material into headwaters and isolated waters
provided:
a. the discharge does not cause the loss of more than 1 acre of waters of
the United States;
b. the permittee notifies the District Engineer if the discharge would
cause the loss of waters of the United States greater than one acre in
accordance with the "Notification" general condition. For discharges in
special aquatic sites, including wetlands, the notification must also include
a delineation of affected specific aquatic sites, including wetlands; and
c. the discharge, including all attendant features, both temporary and
permanent, is part of a single and complete project.
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 any
required State or local approval. It is recommmeded that you contact Mr. John
Dorney with the State of North Carolina, at telephone [phone],
to insure that you have complied with state water quality certification
requirements.

-2-
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.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Steve Chapin, Asheville
Field Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
G. Wayne Wright

Dear Mr. Chapin:
The Department of Transportation is requesting
permission to do emergency repairs for flood damage in four
locations along SR 1351 Tom Jackson Road in Watauga County.
To help prevent future damage at Washout (1A), we are also
requesting approval to extend the existing 36 inch pipe four
feet on the outlet end. In addition on SR 1351 0.3 mile from
SR 1334 there is an 18 inch crossline pipe with a hole in the
top. This hole is located in the travel way. Information
for the emergency replacing of this pipe is also included.
By copy of this letter, I am requesting Mr. Joseph H.
Mickey, Jr., N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission District
Fisheries Biologist to comment directly to you concerning the
404 Nationwide Permit request.
Also, by copy of this letter, I am requesting emergency
authorization from the Division of Environmental Management.
We would like to begin repairs as soon as possible. If
further information is required, please let me know. Your
early review and consideration will be greatly appreciated.
Yours truly,
G? 9MA
