APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS

Suite 190
Raleigh, NC 27607
Dear Mr. Stephens:
You have our approval to place fill material in 0.531 acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose of
constructing a residential subdivision at Parkside off of Hwy 86, as you described in your application dated
19 August 1996. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General
Water Quality Certification Numbers 3022, 2732 ad 2671. These certifications allow you to use
Nationwide Permit Number 12, 14 and 26 when they are issued by the Corps of Engineers.
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 may be required to send us a new application. For this
approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification. Deed restrictions
shall be added to all lots with remaining wetlands to prevent future fill. In addition, you should get any
other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project.
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 919-733-1786.
Sincerely,
PtoPren Howard, Jr. P.E.

Dear Mrs. Manuele and Mr. Dorney:
August 19, 1996
US Army Corps of Engineers
Attn: Mrs. Jean Manuele
6512 Falls of the Neuse Rd, Suite 105
Raleigh, NC 27615-6846
The purpose of this letter is to request Nationwide Permits 12, 14 and 26, and a
Section 401 Water Quality Certification for the project to be known as Parkside in
Orange County, N.C. The project is located approximately 3 miles north of
Chapel Hill off Highway 86; as shown on the enclosed plans and Chapel Hill,
N.C., USGS Topo Quad vicinity map.
The Corps approved wetland delineation is shown on the attached map. The
delineation of impact areas have been approved by Mrs. Jean Manuele of the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Impacts to wetlands will be required to construct roadways, utility lines and lot
fills.
It will be necessary to impact 0.531 acres (see map) of jurisdictional wetlands
above headwaters for placement of some of the proposed road crossings, utility
lines, and filling of lots utilizing Nationwide Permits 12, 14 and 26. A total of
0.134 acres (see map) will be filled for a road crossing under Nationwide Permit
14. The road crossing is perpendicular to wetland alignment, in order to
minimize impact. Utility line impacts total 0.064 acres of wetlands under
Nationwide Permit 12; excavated areas will be returned to grade. A total of
0.333 acres will be impacted under Nationwide 26 for the filling of proposed
residential lots.

Indicate Which of the following apply:
' There are wetlands on the above described property which we strongly suggest should be delineated and
surveyed. The surveyed wetland lines must be verified by our staff before the Corps will make a final
jurisdictional determination on your property.
• Because of the size of your property and our present workload, our identification and delineation of your
wetlands cannot be accomplished in a timely manner. You may wish to employ a consultant to obtain a
more timely delineation of the wetlands. Once your consultant has flagged a wetland line on the property,
Corps staff will review it, and, if it is accurate, we strongly recommend that you have the line surveyed for
final approval by the Corps. The Corps will not make a final jurisdictional determination on your property
without an approved survey.
The wetlands on your lot have been delineated, and the limits of Corps jurisdiction have been explained
to you. Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied
upon for a period not to exceed three years from the date of this notification.
• There are no wetlands present on the above described property which are subject to the permit
requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in the law
or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed three years
from the date of this notification.
• The project is located in one of the 20 Coastal Counties. You should contact the nearest State Office of
Coastal Management to determine their requirements.
Placement of dredged or fill material in wetlands on this property without a Department of the Army
permit is in most cases a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1311). A permit is
not required for work on the property restricted entirely to existing high ground. If you have any
questions regarding the Corps of Engineers regulatory program, please contact
