Please reference a request of November 12, 1999 to modify the existing CAMA Major
Development Permit to authorize the NCDOT to leave a 600.0 feet long section of the old bridge
in place after construction is complete. Since that time the referenced permit has expired.
Therefore, the Department requests that CAMA Major Development Permit No. 89-96 be
renewed to allow for additional time to complete removal of the old Chowan River Bridge. The
Department expects all aspects of bridge removal to be complete by December 31, 2000.
However, to avoid the potential for additional renewal requests, the Department asks that the
extension run through June 30, 2001.

the additional proposed activities. All the authorized activities and conditions of certification

allow leave 600 feet of the existing bridge in place,as described in the permit application dated March

NORTH CAROLINA 401 WATER QUALITY CERTIFICATION
THIS CERTIFICATION is issued in conformity with the requirements of Section 401 Public Laws 92-
500 and 95-217 of the United States and subject to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality(DWQ)
Regulations in 15 NCAC 2H,Section.0500.This certification authorizes the removal of the old Chowan
River Bridge. The removal of the bridge shall adhere to the Corps of Engineers guidelines for"Bridge
Demolition and Removal in Waters of the United States". It should be noted the modification is applicable
only to the additional proposed activities. All the authorized activities and conditions of certification
associated with the original Water Quality Certification dated May 26, 1996 and all other corresponding
modifications still apply. In addition,the Department of Transportation is authorized to allow leave 600
feet of the existing bridge in place,as described in the permit application dated March 3,2000. All the
authorized activities and conditions of certification associated with the original Water Quality Certification
dated May 26, 1996 still apply.
The application provides adequate assurance that the discharge of fill material into the proposed wetlands in
conjunction with the proposed development will not result in a violation of applicable Water Quality
Standards and discharge guidelines. Therefore,the State of North Carolina certifies that this activity will
not violate the applicable portions of Sections 301,302,303,306,307 of PL 92-500 and PL 95-217 if
conducted in accordance with the application and conditions hereinafter set forth.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you submitted in your application, as described in
the Public Notice. Should your project change,you are required to notify the DWQ and submit a new
application. If the property is sold,the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval
letter,and is thereby responsible for complying with all the 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)(6)and(7). For this approval to remain valid,you are required to comply with all the
conditions listed below. In addition,you should obtain all other federal,state or local permits before
proceeding with your project including(but not limited to)Sediment and Erosion control,Coastal
Stormwater,Non-discharge and Water Supply watershed regulations.
Condition(s)of Certification:
• 1. Appropriate sediment and erosion control practices which equal or exceed those outlined in the
• most recent version of two manuals. Either the "North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control
Planning and Design Manual"or the"North Carolina Surface Mining Manual" (available from the
Division of Land Resources in the DEHNR Regional or Central Offices). The control practices
shall be utilized to prevent exceedances of the appropriate turbidity water quality standard(50
NTUs in all fresh water streams and rivers not designated as trout waters;25 NTUs in all lakes
and reservoirs,and all saltwater classes;and 10 NTUs in trout waters);
2. All sediment and erosion control measures placed in wetlands or waters shall be removed and
the natural grade restored after the Division of Land Resources has released the project;
3. Measures shall be taken to prevent live or fresh concrete from coming into contact with
waters of the state until the concrete has hardened;
4. There shall be no excavation from or waste disposal into jurisdictional wetlands or waters
associated with this permit without appropriate modification of this permit. Should waste or
borrow sites be located in wetlands or stream,compensatory mitigation will be required since it is
a direct impact from road construction activities;
5. No additional compensatory mitigation shall be done in accordance with this modification.
6. All other conditions written into previous Water Quality Certifications for this project still apply.

Violations of any condition herein set forth shall result in revocation of this Certification and may result in
criminal and/or civil penalties. This Certification shall become null and void unless the above conditions
are made conditions of the Federal 404 and/or coastal Area Management Act Permit. This Certification
shall expire upon expiration of the 404 or CAMA permit.
If this Certification is unacceptable to you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request

original Certification,you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing on the modifications upon written
request within sixty(60)days following receipt of the Certification. Unless such demands are made,this
Certification shall be final and binding.
