APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
Mr. K. A. Wilson
P.O. Box 3279
Asheville, NC 28802
Dear Mr. Wilson:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to fill
and excavate in 0.03 acres of waters for the purpose of paving SR 1515 at Mars Hill, as you described
in your application dated 21 August 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. 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. Sediment and erosion control measures shall adhere to the
design standards for sensitive watersheds (T 15A:04B .0024).
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; S.R. 1515, Madison Co.
Dear Mr. Baker:
r2 n?G
We are providing a package of design sketches concerning wetlands that
will be impacted by this project. We have enclosed a completed N.C D.E.M.
application for your use.
We are planning on replacing or extending several pipes in an unnamed
tributary flowing along project and draining into California Creek. This is not a
trout stream nor a tributary to any.
If you have any questions or comments concerning this matter, please
feel free to contact J.N. Jarrett or myself of this office at 704-298-2741.
Thank you for your cooperation and assistance in this matter.
Sincerely yours,

K.A. Wilson
District Engineer
