APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Mr. Martin Bolick
NC DOT
PO Box 1460
Boone, NC 28607
Dear Mr. Bolick:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, for the purpose of paving SR 1132, as you
described in your application dated September 29, 1998. 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 the Corps of Engineers issues it. 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 for a new certification. If the property is
sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the 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.

Dear Mr. Baker:
The Department of Transportation is prop osing'a pipe replacement project on SR
1132, Roaring Creek Road, in Avery County when the necessary permits are obtained.
This project will require replacing one (1) double line 30' of 48" CMP with a double line
40' of 66" x 51" CMPA which carries Sandbank Creek. Sandbank Creek has the DEM
classification, WS-III. Due to the proposed work, we are requesting a 404 Nationwide
Permit.
I am sending a joint application form, straight line sketch with the proposed erosion
control, and a marked county map.
By copy of this letter, I am requesting Mr. Joe Mickey, Western Piedmont Region
Coordinator to comment directly to you concerning the 404 Nationwide Permit request.
Also, by copy of this letter, I am requesting a 401 Certification from the Division of
Water Quality for this project.
We would like to begin construction when the necessary permits are obtained. If
additional information is required, please let me know. Your early review and
consideration will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Martin L. Bolick
District Engineer
