WQC 401 Project #970465
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill material in 0.1 acres of
wetlands or waters for the purpose of constructing the base of a communications tower at SR 1232 near
Sligo, as you described in your application dated 27 May 1997. After reviewing your application, we have
decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3106. This Certification
allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 18 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. 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. 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.
