We appreciate your timely review and approval of our submittal. In the approval letter, a single condition was added that states The sewer system shall comply with the Non-Discharge Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0200), ... " The project does not include proposed construction of any sewer (sanitary) system and therefore it is our understanding that the Non-Discharge Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0200) do not apply and this condition is invalid.

After reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) General Water Quality Certification Number 3374. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit No. 12 when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).

Several directional bores are proposed at major creek crossings including Buffalo Creek and Little River. The majority of the water line will be routed within road right-of-way approximately five feet from the edge of the roadway pavement. We have applied for a Nationwide Permit 12 from the US Army Corps of Engineers for the proposed temporary impacts to wetlands and waters of the US. The construction of the water line will be handled in strict accordance with the Nationwide Permit 12 and will meet all requirements of the Water Quality General Certification. All stream crossings will be perpendicular non-electric utility crossings within construction corridors less than 40 feet. Therefore, we are not requesting a 401 Water Quality Certification. However, we are proposing temporary impact to a Riparian Buffer (Zone 2) along an intermittent unnamed tributary to the Neuse River. The proposed alignment places the water line in this buffer zone only to avoid disturbing a significant area of wetlands that border the outer limits of the riparian buffer. We have attached for your review, an 8-1/2" x 11" sheet that was included in the application to the USACE representing the channel crossing where the proposed temporary impact occurs. We have also provided a USGS Quadrangle map and SCS Soil Survey map showing the location of the impact. Under the North Carolina Administrative Code Section 15A NCAC 2B 0.0200, the proposed impact is allowable without mitigation but requires notification and buffer rule approval. We hereby request on behalf of the Buffalo Water District, Buffer Rule Approval for the referenced project. Sincerely, MycKIIMM & CREED, P.A. Chris L. Windley, El Project Engineer cc: Timothy G.
