Dear Mr. Chapin:
The Department of Transportation is proposing to replace existing two lines of 24 inch
pipe with two lines of 48 inch pipe on SR 1600 Hampton Road in Watauga County.
During high water flow the stream leaves its channel causing damage to property owners

classification C Tr. We are requesting a 404 Nationwide Permit for this work to be done
by the .
I am sending a joint application form, a sketch with the proposed erosion control, notes
on pipe installation, and a marked county map.
By copy of this letter, I am requesting Ms. Stephanie Goudreau, Mt. Region Biologist
Coordinator to comment directly to you concerning the 404 Nationwide Permit request.
Also, by copy of this letter, I am requesting a 401 Water Quality Certification from the

Waters)
Mr. Roger Cates

Boone, North Carolina 28607
Dear Mr. Cates:
Reference your April 4, 1995 application for Department of the Army (DA)
authorization to replace 2 lines of 24-inch culvert with 2 lines of 48-inch
culvert in an unnamed tributary to Laurel Branch, on S.R. 1600 (Hampton Road),
near Bamboo, in Watauga Cou o Carolina. In addition, class II riprap
will be installed at both ds of th culverts to provide for bank
stabilization. Less tha one-tent of an acre of headwater stream channel
will be impacted by the construc on and no wetlands will be impacted. This
project has been coordin ted h the NC Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC).
For the purposes of the 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. Authorization was
provided, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, for discharges of
dredged or fill material into headwaters and isolated waters.
Your work is authorized by this nationwide permit provided it is
accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed conditions. This
nationwide permit does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain other
required State or local approval.
This verification will be valid for two years from the date of this
letter unless the nationwide authorization is modified, reissued or revoked.
Also, this verification will remain valid for the two 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 two 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 or are under contract to
commence, in reliance upon the nationwide permit, will remain authorized.
This is provided the activity is completed within twelve months of the date of
the nationwide permit's expiration, modification or revocation.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Steve Chapin, Asheville
Field Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
G. Wayne Wright
