Stevens Division of Water Quality March 15, 2001 DW Q# 01-0331 Wilkes County Heath Slaughter NC Department of Transportation P.O. Box 250 North Wilkesboro, NC, 28659 APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification Dear Mr. Slaughter: You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill in 40 linear feet of an unnamed tributary to Stony Fork Creek in order to replace a bridge on SR 1167 with a culvert in Wilkes County, as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality on March 8, 2001. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3289. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 14 when it is issued by the U.S. Army 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, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also this approval will expire when the accompanying 404 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 919-733-9646.
