APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
To Whom It May Concern:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill in 0.01 acre of wetlands on Dare County
property, as described in an application received by the Division of Water Quality on November 5, 1999. After reviewing your
application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3106. This Certification
allows you to use Nationwide Permit 18 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 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 maybe 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. 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 Dorney at 919-733-9646.
prrely,
. Steve

RE: Application for Nationwide Permit #18

HUA No.: DR9810 - Permits
Dear Mr. Dorney:
PAYMENT
RECEIVED

Dare County is planning to build an elevated water storage tank as part of their water system
improvements in the Cape Hatteras, NC area.
The site Dare County wishes to purchase for the tank is on 1.31 acres of land which can be
subdivided in two ways. Option 1 is 0.59 acres and Option 2 is 0.72 acres. Before purchasing one
of these parcels, Dare County needs to be certain the property is permittable. Therefore, please
find enclosed check for $200.00 and 7 copies of the following items:
1) Nationwide Permit # 18 application
2) Location map
3) Site plan of total tract with purchase options 1 and 2
4) Wetland delineation survey certified by Tom Walker of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
As an additional note, Frank Jennings of CAMA had indicated that the proposed site is not an area
of concern for his office.
If you have questions or if additional information is needed, please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
