July 9, 1997
Buncombe County
WQC 401 Project #970546
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to excavate in 0.4 acres of wetlands or
waters for the purpose of replacing Sulphur Spring sewer lines at Asheville, as you described in your application
dated 23 June 1997. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water
Quality Certification Number 3101. This Certification allows you to use General Permit Number 049 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.
