BOX 1890 WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA 28402-1890 IN REPLY REFER TO July 16, 1992 Regulatory Branch Action ID. 199202833 Mr. L. J. Ward Planning & Environmental Branch N.C. Department of Transportation Post Office Box 25201 Raleigh, North Carolina 27611 Dear Mr. Ward: Reference is made to your letter of June 4, 1992, regarding your plans to discharge dredged/fill material into the waters/wetlands of Grassy Creek, associated with the r 'ik!+etnent of Bridge JJ140, S.R. 2061, located south of Pilot Mountain, y County, North Carolina. Plans included with your letter showed that you propose to replace the aforementioned bridge with a 2 barrel 12' X 8' reinforced concrete box culvert. Reference is also made to Mr. Dennis Stewart's letter of June 23, 1992, in which the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission expressed no objections to the planned road improvements provided that: a. No heavy equipment is operated in the live streams in order to minimize sedimentation and prevent introduction of other pollutants, and b. Erosion control measures should be implemented where soil is disturbed and maintained until project completion. For the purposes of the U.S. Army 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. Authorization was provided, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, for discharges of dredged or fill material into headwaters and isolated waters provided: a. the discharge does not cause the loss of more than 10 acres of waters of the United States; b. the permittee notifies the District Engineer if the discharge would cause the loss of waters of the United States greater than one acre in accordance with the "Notification" general condition. For discharges in special aquatic sites, including wetlands, the notification must also include a delineation of affected specific aquatic sites, including wetlands; and W -2- c. the discharge, including all attendant features, both temporary and permanent, is part of a single and complete project. Special conditions of this permit state that before discharging dredged or fill material into waters of the United States occurring within the 25 mountain counties of North Carolina that contain trout waters, the applicant will obtain a letter of approval from the North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission. Review of the information you have provided, and the comments submitted by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, reveals that your proposed work, involving adverse modification to less than an acre (0.01 acre) of waters of the United States located above the headwaters of the aforementioned tributary, is authorized by nationwide permit provided it is accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed conditions and the recommendations set forth by the Wildlife Resources Commission. This nationwide permit does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain any required State or local approval. This verification will be valid for 2 years from the date of this letter unless the nationwide authorization is modified, reissued, or revoked. Also, this verification will remain valid for the 2 years if, during that period, the nationwide permit authorization is reissued without modification or the activity complies with any subsequent modification of the nationwide permit authorization. If during the 2 years, the nationwide permit 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 nationwide permit, activities which have commenced (i.e., are under construction) or are under contract to commence in reliance upon the nationwide permit will remain authorized provided the activity is completed within 12 months of the date of the nationwide permit's expiration, modification or revocation, unless discretionary authority has been exercised on a case-by-case basis to modify, suspend, or revoke the authorization. As is discussed, you should contact the following State agencies to obtain the required State authorizations prior to starting work: Mr. John Dorney, North Carolina Division of Environmental Management, telephone (919) 733-1786, and Mr. Steve Benton, North Carolina Division of Coastal Management, telephone: (919) 733-2293.
