APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Mr. David Robinson
NC DOT
PO Box 25201
Raleigh, NC 27611-5201
Dear Mr. David Robinson:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact 0.06
acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose of replacing bridge numbers 22 and 24, as you described in your
application dated May 14, 1998. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this impact is covered
by General Water Quality Certification Number 3101. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit
Number 12 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 for a new certification. 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) (6) and (7). 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 conforming 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 Domey at 919.733-1786.

Dear Sir:

E. NORRIS TOLSON
SECRETARY
101 \SSL'D
Subject: Duplin County, Replacement of Bridge Nos. 22 and 34 over Goshen
Swamp on NC 403, Federal Aid Project No. BRSTP-403(1), State Projcct
No. 8.1241501, T.I.P. No. B-2826.
On December 1997 the Corps of Engineers authorized the subject project using
NWP 23 (Corps of Engineers Action I.D. 199704078). Bridge Nos. 22 and 34 will be
replaced on new location approximately 21 meters (70 feet) downstream of the existing
structures. Bridge No. 22 will be replaced with a bridge 40 meters (130 feet) long and 9.2
meters (30 feet) wide. Bridge No. 34 will be replaced with a two-barrel
3.7 x 2.4-meter (12 x 8-foot) reinforced concrete box culvert. Traffic will be maintained
on the existing structures during construction.
Project design now requires the relocation of an existing utility (sewer) line under
the creek. The utility line will be placed under the creek and in the shoulder of the new
right-of-way. The entire length of line to be replaced will be approximately 185 meters
(606.8 feet), as shown on Sheet 2 of 4. The length of line under the creek will be
approximately 30 meters (98.4 feet) and the length buried in the shoulder will be 155
meters (508.4 feet). The wetland impact associated with the construction of the shoulder
was described in the Categorical Exclusion (CE) document and permitted under the
NW 23 permit (Action I. D. 199704078). Therefore, there will be no additional impact to
wetlands as a result of the utility line relocation. The installation of the line will result in
approximately 0.06 acres of temporary impact to the surface waters of Goshen Swamp.
Preconstruction contours will be restored in the stream bed. All material resulting from
0
2
excavation in the stream will be placed so that it is not dispersed by currents or other
forces. Any excess material will be removed to upland areas and exposed stream banks
stabilized immediately upon completion.
Enclosed are drawings of the structures, project site map and Preconstruction
Notification Form for the utility line replacement. The DOT requests that the COE
authorize this activity in Duplin County under a Section 404 Nationwide Permit 12.
Issuance of 401 Water Quality Certification by the Division of Water Quality is also
requested.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please call
Ms. Alice N. Gordon at 733-7844 Ext. 307.
Sincerely,
David C. Robinson
