APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Mr. Raymond Allen
City Manager
City Of Albermarle
PO Box 190
Albemarle NC 28002
Dear Mr. Allen:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill material in 165 feet of streams for
the purpose of constructing a road crossing at the Albermarle Solid Waste Landfill Facility, as you described in your
application dated 12 April, 1999. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General
Water Quality Certification Number 3102. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 14 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 send us a new application. 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). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification. This
approval shall expire when the corresponding Nationwide Permit expires or as otherwise provided in the General
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. 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.

Dear Dr. Cassedy:
Division of Archives and History
Jeffrey J. Crow, Director
Thank you for your letter of March 29, 1996, transmitting the archaeological
survey report by Garrow and Associates, Inc., concerning the above project.
For purposes of compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act, we concur that the following property is eligible for the National Register of
Historic Places under the criterion cited:
31 ST162, Criterion D. This early nineteenth century mill site may yield
information concerning the nature, function, and significance of mills to rural
life in Stanly County during the first half of the nineteenth century.
We concur with your recommendation to preserve this site through including it in a
vegetative buffer zone. The buffer zone should be permanently marked and land
disturbing activities prohibited from occurring within it. A sufficient area of space
should be included in the buffer zone to prevent unintentional encroachment within
the protected area during landfill construction. Given the stone foundations and
raceways documented at the site, we strongly recommend measures be taken to
prohibit further damage or destruction of the archaeological elements of this site.
Cooperation with the Stanly County Historical Society or the LandTrust of North
Carolina may also be considered.
The report meets our office's guidelines and those of the Secretary of the Interior.
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations
for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR Part 800.

NATURAL HERITAGE ELEMENTS AND SPECIES STATUS CODES
The attached output from the N.C. Natural Heritage Program database is a listing of
the elements (rare species, geologic features, natural communities, and special
animal habitats) known to occur in your geographic area of interest. The
information on this printout is compiled from a variety of sources, including field
surveys, museums and herbaria, literature, and personal communications. The
database is dynamic, with new records being added and old records being revised as
we receive new information. The enclosed list cannot be considered a definitive
record of natural heritage elements, and it should not be considered a substitute
for field surveys. When this information is used in any document, we request that
the printout date be given and that the Natural Heritage Program be credited.
This cover sheet explains the four columns of status codes that are given on the
right-hand side of the printout.
STATE PROTECTION
CODE STATUS CODE STATUS
Endangered SR Significantly Rare
T Threatened V Vulnerable
SC Special Concern UNK Undetermined
C Candidate EX Extirpated
P_ Proposed (E, T, or C)
Plant statuses are determined by the Plant Conservation Program (N.C. Dept. of
Agriculture) and the Natural Heritage Program (N.C. Dept.. of Environment, Health,
and Natural Resources). E, T, and SC species are protected by state law (the Plant
Protection and Conservation Act, 1979); C and SR designations indicate rarity and
the need for population monitoring and conservation action, as determined by the
Plant Conservation and Natural Heritage Programs.
Animal statuses that indicate state protection (E, T, and SC) are published in
"Endangered Wildlife of North Carolina", March 16, 1992, N.C. Nongame and Endangered
Wildlife Program. The Significantly Rare, Undetermined, Vulnerable and Extirpated
statuses are (for the most part) Natural Heritage Program designations. They
indicate rarity and the need for population monitoring and conservation action.
FEDERAL PROTECTION
The current federal status is listed in "Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and
Plants, July 15, 1991 (50 CFR 17.11 & 17.12, Department of the Interior).
Definitions are taken from the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended through
the 100th Congress (1988), and the Federal Register, Part VIII, November 21, 1991
(50 CFR 17, Department of the Interior).
CODE STATUS DEFINITION
E Endangered A taxon which "is in danger of extinction
throughout all or a significant portion of its
range"
