APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Mr. Nick Emanuel, VP
Piedmont Natural Gas Co.
PO Box 33068
Charlotte, NC 28233
Dear Mr. Emanuel:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill material in 0.02 acres of wetlands or
waters for the purpose of relocating a gas line at Hwy. 62, as you described in your application dated August 26, 1998.
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 the Corps of Engineers issues it. 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.
Also 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. 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 the 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). 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 which conforms to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh,
N.C. 276 1 1-7447. 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. .

Subject: Hwy. 62 Distribution Main Relocation - 401 Permit
Dear Mr. Dorney:
" A
Piedmont Natural Gas is applying for a 401 general certification concurrence with the relocation
of a natural gas distribution main along Hwy. 62 in Alamance County. The distribution line
currently runs beneath Alamance Creek adjacent to the Hwy. 62 bridge over Alamance Creek.
However, the state is building a new bridge adjacent to the existing bridge, making it necessary
for us to relocate our pipeline beneath Alamance Creek. Construction is planned to start later
this month.
I have attached to this letter a copy of the application, and maps showing the pipe layout
proposed construction corridor.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, or need any additional information, please feel
free to contact me at (704)364 -3120, ext. 462.
Sincerely,
