APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
NC Department of Transportation, Div. of Highways 7
c/o Lenwood E. Smith
4261 Camp Burton Road
McLeansville, NC 27301
Dear Sirs:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact 40 feet of
stream channel in Guilford County, for the purpose of road crossing construction as you described in your application
received by the Division of Water Quality on October 16, 2000. After reviewing your application, we have decided
that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3289. 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 Water shed 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. If you change
your project, you must notify us and you may be required to 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) (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, 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 919-733-9646.
Sincerely,
Kerr T. Stevens

Dear Mrs Manuele:
DAVID MCCOY
SECRETARY
SUBJECT: Guilford County, Replacement of one 48-inch Corrugated Metal Pipe (CMP) under
Abb Road (SR 2718)
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) proposes to replace one (1) line of 28-
feet long 48-inch CM pipe with one (1) lines of 54-inch CM pipe 40-feet long as part of a project to
convert Abb Road from a gravel surface to a paved surface road. Replacement is necessary due to
damage of the existing pipe and the necessary upgrade or the roadside shoulder to current safety
standards. No Wetlands, High Quality Waters, or Outstanding Resource Waters occur in the project
area. A protected species survey conducted on August 18, 2000 also indicated that no protected
species or habitats were present.
The NCDOT anticipates that this activity will be authorized under General Permit 19820031.
Enclosed please find the project site map and the pre-construction notification form for the above
referenced projects. By copy of this letter we are also requesting a General Water Quality
Certification #3289 from the NC Division of Water Quality. Construction is anticipated to begin in
November.
If you have any questions or need any additional information, please contact Len Smith at (336) 375-
5589. Thank you for your time and assistance.
