APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
Rev. Alan Greene, Pastor
New Hope Church of God
P.O. Box 635
Waynesville, NC 28786
Dear Rev. Greene:
You have our approval to place fill material in 0.5 acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose of
constructing a road crossing at your church on SR 1204, as you described in your application dated 3
December 1996. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water
Quality Certification Number 2732. This certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 14
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 except as
modified below. If you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new
application. 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 and any additional conditions listed
below. A deed restriction or conservation easement shall be added to all remaining streams and wetlands on
this property to prevent future fill. 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-Dischazge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This approval will expire when the
accompanying 404 or CAMA permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General 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 Cazolina General Statutes to the Office of
Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27 6 1 1-7447. This certification and its conditions
aze 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.
Sincerely,
Attachment
