APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Mr. Robert Bowling, Jr.
Post Office Box 15462
Chesapeake, VA 23328-5462
Dear Mr. Bowling:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill material in 0.06
acres of wetlands for the purpose of constructing a road crossing to a building site at the Cashie River, as
you described in your revised application dated January 30, 2001. After reviewing your application, we
have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3289. This
Certification allows you to use Regional General 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.

4401 Reedy Creek Road PAYMENT
Raleigh, NC 27607 RECEIVED
Dear Ms Karoly:
1 received your letter today saying that a $200 fee was needed with the 401 application.
Enclosed is a check for $200. If there are any other fees/payments needed, please let me know
since this is the first time that I have been made aware of any fees required. I will gladly drive
down to Raleigh and answer any questions, make whatever additional payments are needed, etc.
so that the application will not be further delayed.
I have been actively trying to get this permit since December 11, 2000 and have only succeeded
so far in getting it rejected because there were no instructions with the form about a required fee.
I have undergone extreme frustration dealing with the Corp of Engineers so far in this matter and
find it refreshing to finally deal with someone who does respond ... even if it is to reject my
applicationl
I really do appreciate how quickly you have processed and responded to this matter and wish that
everyone was as efficient in doing their jobs. I will greatly appreciate your prompt attention to
processing this form. If there are any questions, please feel free to call me collect at the phone
numbers on the form.
Sinter ly y urs,
Robert L. Bowling, Jr.
