listed in the attached certification. In addition, you should get any other federal, state or
local permits before you go ahead with your project.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an
adjudicatory hearing. You must act within 30 days of the date that you receive this letter.

Dear Mr. Tolar:
Reference your application for Department of
to relocate two segments of an unnamed headwater
conjunction with the upgrading of SR 1151B near H
North Carolina. The project will impact less tha
United States. The proposal has been reviewed by
Resources Commission (WRC).
t e Armyl(DA) authorization
ibutry o Big Pine Creek in
t Sprin , Madison County,
1/3 ac a of Waters of the
the No th Carolina Wildlife
For the purposes of the Corps of Engineers' `g(latory 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, and those
outlined in the attached January 4, 1995 WRC letter. This nationwide permit
does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain other required State or
local approval.
This verification will be valid for two years from the date of this
letter unless the nationwide authorization is modified, reissued or revoked.
This verification will remain valid for the two years if, during that period,
the nationwide permit authorization is reissued without modification or the
activity complies with any subsequent modification. If during the two 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 or are
under contract to commence, in reliance upon the nationwide permit, will
remain authorized. This is provided the activity is completed within twelve
months of the date of the nationwide permit's expiration, modification or
revocation.
Questions or comments may be addressed to David Baker in our Asheville
Regulatory office at [phone].
Sincerely,
G. Wayne Wright
