APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS

Raleigh, NC 27611-5201
Dear Mr. Vick:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to permanently fill
in 0.01 acres and temporarily impact 0.05 acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose of relocating SR 2007 in
Madison, 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 3114. This certification allows you
to use Nationwide Permit Number 33 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. 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 except as modified
below. 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) (6) and (7). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions
listed in the attached certification and any additional conditions listed below. DOT shall follow guidance provided by
DWQ in our 27 May 1997 letter for minimizing damage to aquatic resources until a final policy is developed in
conjunction with DOT.
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.

Dear Sir:
SUBJECT: APPLICATION FOR A NATIONWIDE PERMIT 33. TEMPORARY
CROSSING OVER MAIDEN CREEK, SR 2007, CATAWBA COUNTY.
TIP R-2623.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is upgrading and
relocating a portion of SR 2007 (West Maiden Road) from SR 1005 (Startown Road) to
North "D" Street. This project, scheduled for completion in October 1998, has wetland
impacts less than 0.01 acres and was authorized on 14 June 1995 by a Nationwide Permit
26 with no notification required to the Army Corps of Engineers or Division of Water
Quality. It was subsequently determined by the contractor that a temporary causeway
would be required for the construction of the bridge over Maiden Creek.
Construction of the causeways will require a total of 0.05 acres of temporary fill in
surface waters. No wetlands will be impacted. The fill material will consist of Class B rip
rap from the Martin Marietta Quarry in Hickory, NC, and total approximately 392 y3.
Prior to construction, reference elevations will be taken in both temporary fill areas. The
causeway will be in place for approximately 6 months, 01 June 1997 to 01 December
1997. Following construction, all temporary fill will be removed. The area will then be
restored to its original contour and rough surface texture based on the reference
elevations. The area is expected to recover naturally, since the topsoil and seed source
will not be removed. No additional planting is proposed. Construction of this causeway is
detailed in the attached drawings.

GARLAND B. GARRETi' JP-
SECRETARY

It is anticipated that the above mentioned activities will be authorized under
Section 404 Nationwide Permit 33 (Temporary Construction Access and Dewatering).
We are, therefore, requesting the issuance of a nationwide permit authorizing construction
of the causeway. By copy of this letter, it is also requested that the appropriate General
Water Quality Certification be issued by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality.
If you have any questions or need any additional information, please contact
Mr. Michael Wood at [phone] extension 306.
