APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
Richard Fritts
416 Celebration Road
Knoxville, NC 37922
Dear Mr. Fritts:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill material in 140 linear feet
of streams for the purpose of constructing a road crossing at Kanuga Forest as described in your application dated March 31, 2000.
After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3103. 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 Water shed 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. 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) (6) and (7). For this approval to be valid. you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any
additional conditions listed below.
1. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all remaining jurisdictional wetlands and streams to notify the state in
order to assure compliance for future wetland and/or water impact. These mechanisms shall be put in place within 30 days of the
date of this letter or the issuance of the 404 Permit (whichever is later).
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 919-733-9646.

recommend that 401 certification be issu .d for this project that would culvert a stream for less

Relocatoon of the road to a poont that a lesser footage of the creek is impacted is, accorc!Ma to?the_
consultant onvnlved, not possible- I accept this statement based on my evaluation,

RE: "Kanuga Forest" WETI IDS ? GROUP
„y
Henderson County, North Carolina 1--IWATER QUALITY SECTION
Dear Sirs:
On behalf of Mike Whitt, the applicant, I am submitting the enclosed Pre-
Construction Notification Application and supporting documentation for one
proposed stream crossing.
The stream crossing is necessary to access a parcel of land for a proposed
residential subdivision. Our plans are to culvert the stream with a 30" cmp for
140'.
The proposed subdivision is located off Crab Creek Road between Berea
Church Road and Evans Road in Henderson County, which is approximately
6.5 miles southwest of Hendersonville.
Please contact me with any questions or comments you may have, or if you
would like to discuss anything on-site.
Sincerely,
Philip S. Ward Jr., ASLA
