Dear Mr. Dorney:
Subsequent to completion of an Environmental Assessment/Finding of No Significant Impact and
receipt of a Section 404 wetlands permit and Section 401 water quality certification for the
construction of a Multi-Purpose Range Complex (MPRC) at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune,
an above-ground power line was identified in the project scope which had not been previously
coordinated with the Wilmington District, USACOE or your office.
The approximately three (3) mile power line will run from the base of the MPRC to the Folkstone
substation off Highway 17 (see attached). A 60 foot right-of-way will be cleared to accommodate
this line. All vegetation will be removed from the right-of-way (using conventional forestry
methods), however, stumps and roots will remain. There will be no grubbing or grading, and soil
will not be significantly disturbed during clearing activities. The only soil disturbing activity will
involve the placement of utility poles at 200 foot intervals along the route and the burying of one
section of the line where it crosses the existing power line right-of-way.
As shown, the proposed route runs parallel to an existing trail (Joe's trail) for approximately two
(2) miles. Wetlands have not been delineated along the proposed power line route, however, based
on a cursory look at soil types, it is anticipated that a majority of the right-of-way contains
wetlands. The right-of-way will not cross any n;attached). able waters.
On June 6, 1996, the Wilmington District,, ' SAauthorized construction of the powerline
under Regional General Permit No. 1981 049 The permit authorization states
that Section 401 water quality certificatio d`coordination with the NC Division of Coastal
Management is required prior to beginning work on the powerline. Accordingly, the enclosed
permit (with attached maps) is forwarded requesting Section 401 water quality certification to
clear the right-of-way and install utility poles at 200 foot intervals as shown on the attached
drawings. Due to the extremely tight construction schedule for this project, we are requesting a
response by August 21, 1996.
Coordination with the NC Division of Coastal Management is being handled under separate
correspondence.

Mr. John Dorney

Dear Mr. Dorney:
Subsequent to completion of an Environmental Assessment/Finding of No Significant Impact and
receipt of a Section 404 wetlands permit and Section 401 water quality certification for the
construction of a Multi-Purpose Range Complex (MPRC) at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune,
an above-ground power line was identified in the project scope which had not been previously
coordinated with the Wilmington District, USACOE or your office.
The approximately three (3) mile power line will run from the base of the MPRC to the Folkstone
substation off Highway 17 (see attached). A 60 foot right-of-way will be cleared to accommodate
this line. All vegetation will be removed from the right-of-way (using conventional forestry
methods), however, stumps and roots will remain. There will be no grubbing or grading, and soil
will not be significantly disturbed during clearing activities. The only soil disturbing activity will
involve the placement of utility poles at 200 foot intervals along the route and the burying of one
section of the line where it crosses the existing power line right-of-way.
As shown, the proposed route runs parallel to an existing trail (Joe's trail) for approximately two
(2) miles. Wetlands have not been delineated along the proposed power line route, however, based
on a cursory look at soil types, it is anticipated that a majority of the right-of-way contains
wetlands. The right-of-way will not cross any navigable waters.
On June 6, 1996, the Wilmington District, USACOE authorized construction of the powerline
under Regional General Permit No. 198100049 (see attached). The permit authorization states
that Section 401 water quality certification and coordination with the NC Division of Coastal
Management is required prior to beginning work on the powerline. Accordingly, the enclosed
permit (with attached maps) is forwarded requesting Section 401 water quality certification to
clear the right-of-way and install utility poles at 200 foot intervals as shown on the attached
drawings. Due to the extremely tight construction schedule for this project, we are requesting a
response by August 21, 1996.
Coordination with the NC Division of Coastal Management is being handled under separate
correspondence.

3 0 MAY 1996
As discussed in our phone conversation of May 28, 1996, subsequent to completion of an
Environmental Assessuient/Finding of No Significant Impact and receipt of a Section 404 wetlands
permit for the construction of a Multi-Purpose Range Complex (MPRC) at Marine Corps Base
Camp Lejeune, an above-ground power line was identified in the project scope which has not beets
previously coordinated with your office.
The approximately three (3) mile power line will run from the base of the MPRC to the Folkstone
substation off Highway 17 (see attached design drawings). A 60 foot right-of-way will be cleared
to accommodate this line. All vegetation will be removed from the right-of-way (using
conveutioual forestry methods), however, stumps and toots will remain. There will be no grubbing
or grading, and soil will not be significantly disturbed'during cleating activities. The only soil
disturbing activity will involve the placement of utility poles at 200 foot intervals along the route
and the burying of one section of the lino where it crosses the existing power line right-of--way.
As shown, the proposed route runs parrallel to an existing trail (Joe's trail) for approximately two
(2) miles. Wetlands have not been delineated along tlp proposed power line route, however, based
an a cursory lank at soil types, it is anticipated that a majority of the right-of--way contains
wetlands. The right-of-way will not cross any navigable waters.
Per our discussion, we hereby request authorization to clear the right-of-way and install utility
poles at 200 foot intervals as shown on the attached design drawings.
If you have any questions or are in need of additional information, please do not hesitate to contact
Mr. Dan Cecchini at [phone],
Sincerely,
Y
