APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Mr. Bill Gillmore
NC DOT
PO Box 25201
Raleigh, NC 27611-5201
Dear Mr. Gillmore:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact 0.02
acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose of replacing bridge 30 on SR 1345 in Greene County, as you
described in your application dated July 14, 1998. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this
impact is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3103. This Certification allows you to use
Nationwide Permit Number 14 when it is issued by the Corps of Engineers. In addition, you should get any
other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to)
Sediment and Erosion Control, Coastal Stormwater, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations.
This approval will expire when the accompanying 404 or CAMA permit expires unless otherwise specified in
the General Certification.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application except as
modified below. If you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new
application for a new certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this
Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland
fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as
described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the
conditions listed in the attached certification.
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 conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative
Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 276 1 1-7447. This certification and its conditions are final and
binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water
Act. If you have any questions, please telephone John Dorney at 919-733-1786.

ATTEN'T'ION: Mr. Mike Bell
NCDOT Coordinator
Dear Sir:
Subject: Green County, Replacement of Bridge No. 30 on SR 1345 over Sandy Run Creel:.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes to replace bridge No. 30 on SR 1345 over
Sandy Run Creek in Green County. The existing structure will be replaced with a new bridge at its
existing location. Traffic will be detoured onto existing roads during construction. Construction of the
proposed project will result in less than 0.02 acres of impacts to jurisdictional wetlands. Bridge No. 30
has been determined to need immediate replacement by NCDOT bridge inspectors. Therefore,
construction will begin as soon as the necessary permits are issued and will last approximately 4 months.
We have determined that this activity will be authorized under a Department of the Army Nationwide
Permit No. 14.
Enclosed please find the project site map and drawings for the above referenced project. It is anticipated
that construction of this project will be authorized under a Department of the Army Nationwide Permit
No. 14. By copy of this letter, we are also requesting a 401 General Water Quality Certification # 3103
(for NWP 14) from the N. C. Division of Water Quality. If you have any questions or need any
additional information, please contact Mr. Lindsey Riddick at [phone] extension 315.
Sincerely,
William D. Gilmore, . E., Manager
