APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
G E Lighting Systems
3010 Spartanburg Highway
Hendersonville, NC 28792
Dear Sirs:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill material in 0.50 acres of wetlands or
waters for the purpose of a landfill excavation, as you described in your application dated May 18, 1999. After reviewing
your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3108. This
Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 26 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 Dorsey at 919-733-1786.

Sincerely,

Reference: Pre-Construction Notification Application
Dear Mr. Baker:

Enclosed please find 2 copies of a Pre-Construction Notification Application for a
wetland located on the GE Lighting Systems property in Hendersonville, North Carolina. Seven
copies have also been sent to the N.C. Division of Environmental Management.
As part of an EPA Superfund mandated remedial action at the GE facility, we will be
excavating a small landfill near a wetland. This wetland has been delineated and surveyed, and
was recognized by the Army Corps of Engineers in a correspondence with HSI GeoTrans. A
copy of the signed surveyor drawing is included. We do not anticipate excavating or backfilling
in this wetland. However, if the contaminated soil extends into the wetland area, we will need to
continue excavating as required by the Record of Decision (EPA, 1996). Figure 1 shows the
location of the affected wetland in relation to Spartanburg Highway and the GE facility. Figure 2
shows the estimated extent of the landfill to be excavated in relation to the wetland.
We are requesting this permit so that the remedial action will not be delayed if the
excavation area has to be extended.
