WQC 401 Project #970158
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill material in 0.28 acres of
wetlands or waters for the purpose of constructing a communication cable at U.S. 17 bridge near New Bem
and Bridgeton, as you described in your application dated 18 February 1997. After reviewing your application,
we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3101. This
Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 12 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. 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. In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local
permits before you go ahead with your project. Also 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 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 Domey at 919 - 733 -1786.
Sincerely,
� ston Howard,

Please find enclosed one (1) copy of the Nationwide Permit No. 12 package that we have prepared
on behalf of the Carolina Telephone and Telegraph Company.
As you may or may not be aware, the present U. S. Highway 17 bridge between New Bern and
bridgeton will be removed once the new high rise bridge is completed. Since the existing communication
cables are attached to this U. S. Highway 17 bridge, we have no alternative but to request a permit to install
a submerged cable crossing beneath the Neuse River.
If additional information is required for your review, we trust that you will contact our office at your
earliest convenience.

Dear Mr. Tyndall:
BUSINESS: 919-637-4702
NIGHTS: 919 - 638 -2346
FAX: 919. 637 -3100
On behalf of Carolina Telephone & Telegraph Company we are applying for a general permit to
relocate the telephone cable which now crosses the Neuse River from New Bern to Bridgeton. The current
cable is secured to the Highway 17 bridge. As you are aware, the bridge now connecting New Bern to
Bridgeton will be removed.
The proposed plan is to submerge the new cable parallel to the existing bridge with an 800' offset
to the east side. Enclosed with the completed general permit application are corresponding maps and cross -
sections, the $50.00 fee, copies of the adjacent riparian landowner notifications, and a copy of the Nationwide
Permit 12 Application.
If there is any additional information needed for your review, please contact this office at your earliest
convenience.
