You have our approval to place fill material in waters for the purpose of replacing Bridge # 89,
SR 1333 over Buckwheat Branch, as you described in your application dated 9 August 1995. After
reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality
Certification Number 2735. This certification allows you to use General Permit Number 031 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 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 Environmental Management under Section 401

STREAM: Buckwheat Branch - Tributary to Shawneehaw Creek
DESCRIPTION:Replacement of existing Bridge #89 with 1 line of
128"x83" CMPA. Realign approaches to accommodate
