APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification

Dear Mr. Moore:
E:)EHNF1

Burke County
WQC 401 Project #9 8
q,-) 0 ZI
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to fill in 0.02 acres of wetlands or
waters Tor the purpose of paving SR 1969, as you described in your application dated 28 May 1997. After
reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification
Number 3100. This Certification allows you to use General Permit Number 031 when it is issued by the
Corps of Engineers. In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead
with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Coastal Stormwater, Non-
Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also this approval will expire when the accompanying
404 or CAMA permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you
change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application. If total
wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required
as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions
listed in the attached certification.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing.
You must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written
petition which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of
Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. This certification and its conditions
are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water
Act. If you have any questions, please telephone John Dorney at 919-733-1786.

Subject: Nationwide Permit Request

1996-1997 Rural Paving Project

FiyV?RoNM??? ? ?99J
I am attaching a straight line diagram with erosi6n control plan, an
application form for a nationwide permit, and a county map section relative to the
paving of SR 1969, Roper Hollow Road in Burke County.
Roper Hollow Road is presently 14-16 feet wide. We plan to pave the road
18 feet wide and increase the typical section. The typical section is also attached.
Grading will be light to moderate. The project begins at US 64 and continues in a
southerly direction for a distance of 1.41 miles.
We propose to replace/extend three (3) pipes in unnamed tributaries at survey
stations 6+89, 24+95 and 73+55.
By copy of this letter, we request Stephanie Goudreau, North Carolina
Wildlife Commission Mountain Region Coordinator, 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.
