Dear Mr. Vick:
You have our approval to place fill material in less than 0.02 acres of wetlands or waters for the
purpose of replacing Bridge # 170 on SR 1524 over Colly Creek, as you described in your application
dated 14 March 1995. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by
General Water Quality Certification Number 2732. This certification allows you to use Nationwide
Permit Number 14 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. If
you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application.
For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification. In
addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your
project.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory
hearing. You must act within 30 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 Environmental Management under Section 401
of the Clean Water Act. If you have any questions, please telephone John Domey at 919-733-1786.
Sincerely,

Dear Sir:

SECRETARY
SUBJECT: Bladen County, Replacement of Bridge No. 170 on SR 1524 over Colly
Creek.
The N.C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT) intends to replace Bridge
No. 170 on SR 1524 over Colly Creek in Bladen County as part of our bridge
maintenance program. The existing bridge will be replaced with a three
barrel 103 x 71 corrugated steel pipe arch at the same location as the
existing bridge. Traffic will be diverted onto other roads during
construction so that a temporary detour structure will not be necessary. The
environmental impacts of this project are expected to be minimal. The
project will require the placement of fill in less than 0.01 acres of
wetlands and less than 0.01 acres of surface water. This bridge is located
above the headwaters of Colly Creek (estimated flow is 5.8 cfs).
It is expected that this project can be authorized under Nationwide
Permit No. 14 for road crossings. Enclosed you will find the completed
pre-discharge notification form and drawings of the proposed work. Please
review this application for authorization under the Clean Water Act. We
anticipate that 401 General Water Quality Certification No. 2732 will apply
to this project, and are providing this information to the N.C. Department of
Environment, Health and Natural Resources, Division of Environmental
Management, for their review. If you have any questions or need any
additional information, please contact Mr. Gordon Cashin at [phone].
Sincerely,
