Preston Howard, Jr., P.E., Director 1 • • NCDENR NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NArupAL RESOURCES March 20, 1998 Martin County DWQ Project 980218 APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification Mr. Joseph Key Edgecombe Martin County Electric Membership Corporation PO Box 188 Tarboro NC 27886-0188 Dear Mr. Joseph Key: You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact 1.15 acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose of cutting trees and installing poles at Collie Swamp crossing at US Highway 64, as you described in your application dated March 17, 1998. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this impact 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 for a new certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. 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. 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 conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box27447, 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. Sinter ' -7 /' re Howard, Jr. .E.

Box 1000 Washington, NC 27889-1000 Dear Henry: Enclosed is the original and one copy of a Pre-Construction Notification Application for Regional Permit 198100049. Per our discussion, Edgecombe- Martin County Electric Membership Corporation (EMC), a rural electric cooperative based in Tarboro, North Carolina, intends to upgrade an existing electric distribution line to 12.5 kV in Martin County. This upgrade will allow the EMC to serve the Martin County Industrial Park. The total project entails approximately 2.1 miles of which 1.14 miles will involve pole relocation. Approximately .32 miles will involve pole replacement and tree trimming/ removal within wetlands. The EMC plans to use the project as an opportunity to relocate 4-5 single wood poles, located in Collie Swamp, closer to or within an existing highway right-of- way. The EMC's intent is to relocate the line poles such that maintenance and access can be performed from the road right-of-way, without impacting wetlands. For this section of the project, the existing 4-5 poles will be cut at the water level with a chainsaw and removed with a winch. Trees will be trimmed/removed in a 30' right-of-way adjacent to the road right-of-way using a chainsaw and winch. The setting of the new poles will be done from the road, outside of the wetlands, using a line truck to augur holes and set the poles. There will be no access road in the swamp. Future maintenance of the line is to be conducted from the road right- of-way. Thank you for the time you spent with Joseph Key and me in the field, regarding this project, on September 30, 1997. We appreciate the time you spent assessing the site and discussing the application process. P.O. Box 27306. Raleigh. North Carolina 276 1 1-7306 • 3400 Sumner Boulevard. Raleigh.
