Subject: Regional Office Review and Recommendations
Application for Permit for Excavation and/or Fill
Eddie and Johnsie Locke
Central Office Permit #91891
Columbus County
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant has cleared approximately 2.5
acres of headwater wetlands for the construction of a house. Two
ditches have also been excavated with the spoil material being
placed on the property.
ADJACENT WATER BODY: Welch Creek
CLASSIFICATION: CSw
The project has been reviewed to determine impacts to water
quality. The following comments have been provided.
1. The project will require a 401 Water Quality Certification.
2. The project complies with the General 401 Water Quality
Certification No. 2176 for Headwater Wetlands.
3. It is recommended the certification be issued only for the
area that the house, septic tank and drive are constructed
on, i.e., less than one acre. Per conversations with the
Corps of Engineers the ditch on the south side of the lot is
to be filled in. It is recommended that existing spoil
material be used to fill the ditch and that once the ditch
is filled no further mechanical land disturbance take place
on the property.

Dear Mr. and Ms. Locke:
A recent inspection of your property located off N.C. Hwy. 1001, above. the
headwaters of Welch Creek, about 7-8 miles north of Hallsboro, Columbus
County, North Carolina, has revealed that approximately 2.5 acres of land has
been mechanically cleared. In addition to the land clearing activities, two
ditches have also been excavated with the sidecast fill material being placed
either in spoil piles or being spread on the property. The total area of
wetlands impacted is approximately 4 acres. This activity in a wetland area`
without authorization by a Department of the Army permit is a violation of
Section 301 of the Clean Water Act.
You are directed to cease and desist from any further work in the wetland
area and to submit a detailed written explanation of your activities to this
office within 10 days of your receipt of this letter. We will then determine
further appropriate administrative or legal action.
Failure to comply with this directive may result in referral to the United
States Attorney with a recommendation for civil prosecution.
Your proposed placement of this fill material may qualify for Federal
authorization pursuant to nationwide permit (33 CFR 330.5(a) (26)). Please
complete the enclosed pre-discharge notification (PDN) form and submit it with
a copy of your Section 401 Water Quality Certification from the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management. The Section 401 Certification is
required to validate Nationwide Permit No. 26 in the State of North Carolina;
therefore, it must be submitted with the PDN application.
We cannot proceed with the processing of your application until after we
have received your completed PDN form and the 401 Certification.!

Dear Mr. Locke:
Reference the pie :dw -gb!argerigtification application that you submitted to
this office on February 11, 1992 for permission to impact approximatel h
acres of wetlands regulated by this office pursuant to Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act.
For the purposes of the Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program, Title 33,
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330.6, published in the Federal
Register on November 22, 1991, lists nationwide permits. Authorization was
provided, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, for discharges of
dredged or fill material greater than 1 but not more than 10 acres into
headwaters and isolated waters of the United States. Your work is authorized
by this nationwide permit provided it is accomplished in strict accordance
with the enclosed conditions.
This verification will be valid for 2 years from the date of this letter
unless the nationwide authorization is modified, reissued, or revoked. Also,
this verification will remain valid for the 2 years if, during that period,
the NWP authorization is reissued without modification or the activity
complies with any subsequent modification of the NWP authorization. If during
the 2 years, the NWP authorization expires or is suspended or revoked, or is
modified, such that the activity would no longer comply with the terms and
conditions of the NWP authorization, activities which have commenced (i.e.,
are under construction) or are under contract to commence in reliance upon the
NWP will remain authorized provided the activity is completed within 12 months
of the date of the NWP's expiration, modification or revocation, unless
discretionary authority has been exercised on a case-by-case basis to modify,
suspend, or revoke the authorization.
This permit also resolves the issue of a violation of our regulations on
your property. We would like to thank you for your voluntary restoration of a
requested area (ditch on south side of the property).
