WQC 401 Project #970251
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill material in 0.28 acres of
wetlands or waters for the purpose of constructing a television cable crossing under the Neuse River, as you
described in your application dated 14 March 1997. After reviewing your application, we have decided that
this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3102. This Certification allows you to
use Nationwide Permit Number 12 when it is issued by the Corps of Engineers.
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 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. 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.
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 Domey at 919 -733 -1786.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Dorney:
On behalf of Tar River Communications, Inc. we are applying for a Nationwide Permit

Bridgeton. The current cable is secured to the Highway 17 bridge. As you are aware, the bridge

The proposed plan is to submerge the new cable parallel to the existing bridge with an
800' offset to the east side. Enclosed with the completed Joint Form are corresponding maps and
cross - sections, and a copy of the DEM general permit application.
If there is any additional information needed for you review please contact this office at
