APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
Mr. Robert P. Wellons
2004 Cumberland Street
Dunn, NC 28335
Dear Mr. Wellons:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill material
in 0.08 acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose of constructing a road crossing at Ivyburne, as you described in
your application dated 29 May 1997. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by
General Water Quality Certification Number 3106. This certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number
18 when it is issued by the Corps of Engineers. 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. 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 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. Deed restrictions, conservation
easements or similar mechanisms shall be placed in all lots with remaining jurisdictional wetlands to prevent future
fill within 30 days of the date of this letter.
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 Dorney at 919-733-1786.

Enclosed is a NWP 18 application by Robert Wellons for a road crossing permit for the
R.P. Wellons farm "lvyburne." The crossing area is 180'X 20'. The impacted area totals 0.08
