APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Mr. Stephen Moore
NC DOT
PO Box 169C
Marion, NC 28752
Dear Mr. Moore:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, for the purpose of widening SR 1128, as you
described in your application dated November 19, 1998. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill
is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3127. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit
Number 3 when the Corps of Engineers issues it. 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. Also 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. 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 the 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). 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 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 Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you
have any questions, please telephone John Dorney at 919-733-1786.

Subject: S R I 128, Humpback Mountain Road
1998-1999 Paving Project
Mitchell County
Dear Mr. Chapin:
I am attaching a straight line diagram with erosion control plan, a completed
DEM application form, and a county map section relative to the paving of SR
1128, Humpback Mountain Road in Mitchell County.
Humpback Mountain Road is presently 12-14 feet wide. We plan to pave the
road 18 feet wide and increase the typical section. The typical section is also
attached. Grading will be light to moderate. The project begins at SR 1126 and
continues in a easterly direction for a distance of 0.13 mile.
We propose to replace/extend the 18" culvert a length of twenty (20) feet on
the outlet end at survey station 15+05 and replace/extend the 36" culvert a length
of twenty feet on the outlet end at survey station 16+60.
By copy of this letter, we request Joe Mickey, North Carolina Wildlife
Commission Mountain Region Coordinator, to comment directly to you
concerning the nationwide permit request.
