After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3108. This certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 26 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 except as modified below. 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 and any additional conditions listed below. An adequately sized fore bay shall be constructed and maintained inside the berm to filter particulates. A twenty five foot buffer of natural vegetation shall be maintained along the perennial stream adjacent to the berm on your property. 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. 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.

Project G -1427 Dear Mr. Dorsey: March 25, 1997 o -v p �• cn u> Enclosed please find seven copies of the Pre - Construction Notification for the above referenced site. The boundaries of the jurisdictional waters were delineated at the site in July 1995. The boundaries were verified by Ms. Jean Manuele of the United States Army Corps of Engineers on August 15, 1995 and are depicted on the attached drawings. Luck Stone is planning to construct a berm using overburden material generated by their quarry operation. The proposed construction will impact approximately 400 feet of a tributary of Boyd's Creek. The proposed development is shown on the attached drawing. We have contacted the USFWS regarding the presence of endangered and threatened species in the vicinity of the site. We were informed in a telephone conversation with a representative of the USFWS that there are no endangered or threatened species in the site area. We have also contacted the SHPO regarding the presence of historic properties in the vicinity of the site. The SHPO was not aware of properties having historic significance in the site area. The SHPO response is attached. We are requesting a Section 401 Certification for the proposed impact to approximately 400 linear feet of a tributary of Boyd's Creek. Please feel free to contact me at (910) 856 -7150 if you have any questions concerning this request or if additional information is required.
