APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Ms. Sally Browning
USDA Forest Service
Wayah Ranger District
Nantahala National Forest
90 Sloan Road
Franklin, NC 28734
Dear Ms. Browning:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact
0.02 acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose of cleaning a launch pool in the Nantahala National Forest at
US Highway 19(74 and SR 1310, as you described in your application dated April 15, 1998. After reviewing
your application, we have decided that this impact 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 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 211 .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. 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 Domey at 919-733-1786.
