Dear Mr. Dreyfuss:
January 16, 2018
Please reference our letter to you, dated August 7, 2017, regarding non-compliance with the
Nationwide Permit 29 verified for use on April 7, 2016, on property (Linville Ridge residential
development) located on the east side of Linville Road, approximately 0.2 mile north of its
crossing of the Haw River, in Oak Ridge, Guilford County, North Carolina. Based on a stream and
wetland restoration plan and follow-up post -construction photographs submitted by Pilot
Environmental, Inc. via email on November 1, 2017, and December 8, 2017, respectively, the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Raleigh Regulatory Field Office (Corps) has determined that you
have resolved the violations of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 13 11) by
satisfactorily completing the following measures: 1) removing unauthorized rip rap discharged
upstream and downstream of Crossing 2; 2) restoring original grade and contour of the stream
and wetland areas using natural channel design principles (i.e. cross vanes); and 3) planting of
appropriate wetland/riparian vegetation including wetland seed mix and black willow (Salix
nigra) live stakes.
Accordingly the Corps will take no further action in this matter and close our file as of the
date of this letter. Note that you must continue to comply with all terms and conditions and
special conditions of the Nationwide Permit 29, verified for use on April 7, 2016, for all phases
of the Linville Ridge residential development. As part of these responsibilities, please continue
to monitor the site through the winter and spring to ensure vegetative growth and channel
stability. Please be cautioned that the Corps may consider any future unauthorized work of
similar nature in waters of the U.S. a willful and intentional violation of Federal law and may
result in immediate referral of the matter to the U.S. Attorney or the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency with recommendation for civil and/or criminal prosecution.
