APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and Neuse River Buffer Rules
Mr. David Robinson
NC DOT
PO Box 25201
Raleigh NC 27611-5201
Dear Mr. Robinson:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill material in 2.6 acres of wetlands
for the purpose of constructing a building the Lengyel and sawmill Mitigation sites, as you described in your
application dated January 15, 1998. After reviewing your application, we have, decided that this fill is covered by
General Water Quality Certification Number 3109. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 27
when the Corps of Engineers issues it. This approval is also valid for the Neuse River buffer rules (15A NCAC 2B
.0233). 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 send us a new application. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy
of this Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. 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.

The attached project has been sent to you for review for the following reasons. Please consider whether a
site visit is needed to determine the impacts. Particular attention should focus on the below checked items.
Please feel free to call the central office staff member assigned to your region if you need assistance.
- Stream length impacted.
- Stream determination (i.e. intermittent or perennial, or any channel present).
- Wetland impact and distance to blue-line surface waters on USGS topo map.
Min imization/avoidance options.
NW 14. (is access to highgound or wetlands)?
i
Z!', Neuse buffer rules.
Pond (water) fill (i.e. is the pond drained or holding water)?
Pond creation (i.e. in uplands, in a drained channel, or in wetlands). Please locate streams and
channels (if any) so that the central office can determine.
Mitigation ratios.
Stormwater pond placed in wetlands.
Ditching in wetlands.
Is the applicant's proposed stream/wedand mitigation site available and viable?
Applicant/consultant has a history of non-compliance (check drawings and application for
accuracy).
Has project been split from previous work to avoid mitigation requirements?
- Consistent with pre-application meetings?
- Cumulative impact concerns.

Dear Sir:

SEC UTAR)
Subject: Craven County, Replacement of Bridge No. 28 on US 17 over the Neuse River
in New Bern, Federal Aid No. BR-OOOS(33), State Project No. 8.1 170801,
T.1.P. B-2531, Action ID No. 199401568.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation is constructing the subject project as permitted
by LAMA Major Development Permit No. 81-95, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Section
404 Permit (Action 1D No. 199401568 and State 81-95), and the DEM Section 401 Water
Quality Certification. We are proposing to construct the Lengyel and Sawmill Mitigation Sites to
offset the impacts from the project. The review agencies have approved the plans for
construction of the mitigation sites and have requested that we obtain permits prior to
implementation. The purpose of this letter is to transmit a Nationwide 27 Permit Application for
Wetland and Riparian Restoration and Creation Activities.
1. Lengyel Site: This will involve the removal of fill and grading for the purpose of
wetland restoration on 1.8 acres (0.9 acres of palustrine forested (PFO) and 0.9 acres of
scrub/shrub wetlands) that fall under Section 404 jurisdiction. There will also be 0.017 acres of
at, excavation in coastal marsh (CAMA Wetlands) to create a tidal creek as requested by the
' resource agencies. Activities associated with these actions are depicted on the attached drawings.
2. Sawmill Site: This will involve the removal of fill and grading in a coastal shrub
ecosystem for the purpose of wetland restoration and creation of 0.8 acres of wetland. Activities
associated with these actions are depicted on the attached drawings.
9
It is anticipated that the above mentioned activities will be authorized with a Section 404
Nationwide Permit 27 (Wetland Restoration and Creation). Please find enclosed a copy of the
PCN applications, site maps, and drawings for the projects. We are, therefore, requesting the
issuance of a the Nationwide Permit 27 authorizing construction of the Lengyel and Sawmill
Mitigation Sites. We also anticipate a 401 General Certification will apply to this project. We
are providing one copy of these documents to the North Carolina Department of Environment,
Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality, for their review and written
concurrence.
If you have any questions regarding this information, please call Alice Gordon at 919-733-7844
ext. 307.
