APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
Mr. James Krauss
Bayboro Sewer District
101 North Fourth Street
Bayboro, NC 28515
Dear Mr. Krauss:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to excavate 0.05
acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose of sewer installation at NC 55, as you described in your application dated
3 June 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. 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. The stream crossing degree
requirements in condition #2 of the Certification is hereby not required at station 209+00.
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.
