APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Lindnsey Riddick
NC DOT
PO Box 25201
Raleigh, NC 27611-5201
Dear Mr. Riddick:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill material in 0.003 acres of wetlands
or waters for the purpose of a bridge replacement, as you described in your application dated July 8, 1999. After
reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3103.
This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 14 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. 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 Domey at 919-733-1786.
Sin erely,

Dear Mr. Bell:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes to replace the existing bridge
over Coniott Creek. Bridge No. 108 will be replaced with two 112.0 inch x 75.0 inch
corrugated aluminum pipe arches. Each pipe will be 60.0 feet in length. Additionally, a
small amount of rip-rap will be placed along the edges of each pipe end. Approximately
0.003 acres of jurisdictional wetlands will be impacted by this project.
Enclosed please find a project site map, a drawing of the proposed work, and a pre-
construction notification form. This project will impact approximately 65.0 linear feet of
jurisdictional surface waters and approximately 0.003 acre of jurisdictional wetlands. 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 NC Division of Water
Quality. If you have any questions or need any additional information, please contact me
at 252-482-7977.
