A copy of the General Certification is attached. This Certification may be used in qualifying for coverage under Corps of Engineers' Nationwide Permit No. 14.

Karl Shaffer- Soil Scientist Subject: 401 Certification Applications Projects No. 92293, 92315, 92312, and 92322 None of the above projects warranted a site inspection, due to minimal extent of impacted wetland acreage, area or type of wetland impacted, or type of project proposed. Each will be referenced with watershed classifications: 1. Project No. 92293. White Oak Creek Crossing. Johnston County. This consistes of three creek crossings with sanitary sewer lines. All impacts will be adjacent to the creek channels, and should not impact water quality, with the exception of some construction impacts. All three creeks are class C NSW in the Neuse River Basin. Recommend the 401 be issued with general certification and conditions. 2. Project No. 92315. Town of Weldon. Halifax County. This project consists of 0.2 acres of impact by constructing a sewer line to connect a new co-generation facility with the existing sewer plant. The sewer line is to be placed in existing easements, and finish grade to be restored to original contours. The drainage is to the Roanoke River, class C. Recommend the 401 be issued with general certification and conditions. 3. Project No. 92312. New Hope Road Part III. Wake County. This project is for roadway re-alignment and will impact 0.5 acres of wetlands. I expect that the wetlands are relatively of low value. Erosion and sedimentation concerns have been addressed. The area drains to an unnamed tributary of Crabtree Creek, class C NSW, Neuse watershed. Recommend that a 401 be issued with the conditions to insure that E&S are accounted for. 4. Project No. 92322. NC DOT Bridge Replacement. Johnston County. This is to be an impact of 0.05 acres for a bridge replacement over SR 1700. The stream, Cattail Creek, is class C NSW in the Neuse watershed. Recommend a 401 be issued with general certification and conditions. r ^ 4- N. C. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION DATE TRANSMITTAL SLIP C?-?8?a TO: REF. NO. OR ROOM, BLDG.

DIVISION OF WIGHWAYS' v WILLIAM G. MARL "-_V., P.E.c9 STATE HIGHWAY ADMI (STRATO?? SUBJECT: Johnston County - Replacement of Bridge No. 166 on SR 1700 near Jordan The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes to replace the above-referenced structure on existing alignment, along with associated approach improvements. The existing bridge will be replaced with three 12' x 8' box culverts. Stream relocation will not be necessary. The proposed work will involve fill of 0.05 acre of wetlands in less than 200 linear feet. The bridge is located on a stream with an average daily flow of 5.2 c.f.s. It is anticipated that the proposed project may be authorized under Nationwide Permit X14 for Minor Road Crossings, 33 CFR 330.5(3). Application is hereby made for a Department of the Army permit as required for such activities. A site map is enclosed for your records. By copy of this letter, we are also requesting 401 Water Quality Certification by the Division of Environmental Management.

J. Ward, Manager Planning and Environmental Branch Post Office Box 25201 Raleigh, North Carolina 28201-1010 Dear Mr. Ward: Reference your letter of June 16, 1992, requesting Department of the Army permit authorization to discharge fill material into 0.05 acre of wetlands adjacent to Cattail Creek to effect the replacement of Bridge No. 166 on S.R. 1700 near Jordan, Johnston County, North Carolina. The bridge is to be replaced with three 12-foot by 8-foot box culverts. For the purposes of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program, Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330.6, published in the Federal Register on November 22, 1991, lists nationwide permits (NWP). Authorization, pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, was provided for fills for roads crossing waters of the United States (including wetlands and other special aquatic sites) provided: a. The width of the fill is limited to the minimum necessary for the actual crossing; b. The fill placed in waters of the United States is limited to a filled area of no more than 1/3 acre. Furthermore, no more than a total of 200 linear feet of the fill for the roadway can occur in special aquatic sites, including wetlands; C. The crossing is culverted, bridged or otherwise designed to prevent the restriction of, and to withstand, expected highflows and the movement of aquatic organisms; d. The crossing, including all attendant features, both temporary and permanent, is part of a single and complete project for crossing of a water of the United States; and r -2- e. For fills in special aquatic sites, including wetlands, the permittee notifies the District Engineer in accordance with the "Notification" general condition. Your work, involving the discharge of fill material into 0.05 acre of wetlands adjacent to Cattail creek, is authorized by this NWP provided it is accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed conditions. This NWP does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain any required local or State approval, including a Section 401 Water Quality Certification. Questions concerning Water Quality Certification should be addressed to Mr. John Dorney, North Carolina Division of Environmental Management, at telephone (919) 733-1786. This verification will be valid for 2 years from the date of this letter unless the NWP authorization is modified, reissued, or revoked. Also, this verification will remain valid for the 2 years if, during that period, the NWP authorization is reissued without modification or the activity complies with any subsequent modification of the NWP authorization. If during the 2 years, the NWP authorization expires or is suspended or revoked, or is modified, such that the activity would no longer comply with the terms and conditions of the NWP, activities which have commenced (i.e., are under construction) or are under contract to commence in reliance upon the NWP will remain authorized provided the activity is completed within 12 months of the date of the NWP's expiration, modification or revocation, unless discretionary authority has been exercised on a case-by-case basis to modify, suspend, or revoke the authorization. Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Eric Alsmeyer, Raleigh Field Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone (919) 876-8441. Sincerely, G.
