Dear Mr. Bolick:

WQC 401 Project #970684
COE ID #199707215
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to drain in 0.01 acres of wetlands or
waters for the purpose of paving SR 1728 at Lenoir, as you described in your application dated 30 July 1997.
After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality
Certification Number 3103. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 14 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.
Sincerely,

".,U
The N. C. Department of Transportation is proposing to replace two cross-line pipes
and construct a catch basin on SR 1728, Draco Road, in Caldwell County when the
necessary permits are obtained. Theses pipes carry unnamed tributaries to Ginger
Creek. Ginger Creek has the DEM classification, C. Due to the proposed work, we are
requesting a 404 Nationwide Permit.
. I am sending a joint application form, straight line sketch with proposed erosion
control, general notes on erosion control, notes on pipe installation, a marked county
map.
By copy of this letter, I am requesting Mr. Joe Mickey, Eastern Mt. Region
Coordinator, to comment directly to you concerning the 404 Nationwide Permit request.
Also, by copy of this letter, I am requesting a 401 Water Quality Certification from
the Division of Environmental Management for this project.
We would like to perform this work when the necessary permits are obtained. If
addition information is required, please let me know. Your early review and
consideration will be greatly appreciated.
Yours truly,
Martin L. Bolick
District Engineer

PIPE INSTALLATION NOTES
1) Install erosion control devices. In streams, where necessary, rock
silt screens will be used.
2) Remove material and existing pipe while limiting, as much as
possible, material and sediment from entering the stream and/or
escaping from project.
3) Prepare pipe foundation while again taking care to limit, as much
as possible, material and sediment from entering the stream and/or
escaping from project. Where possible, new grade will be below
existing streambed. If needed, bedding material will be clean
i stone.
4) Place the new pipe and compact backfill.
5) Install slope protection on outlet and inlet ends of pipe. Also
complete installation of erosion control measures and perform
maintenance as needed on existing measures.
6) Establish permanent vegetation as soon as possible.
