Dear Mr. O'Quinn:
The North Carolina Division of Coastal Management has reviewed the above
referenced application for a Nationwide Permit dated 22 February 1993 pursuant
to Section 307 of the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 as amended. Based upon
our review, we have determined that the proposed activity is consistent with the
North Carolina Coastal Management Program provided the following conditions are
met.
1. The activity described in the above application qualifies to receive
one of the Nationwide Permits described in 33 CRF Part 330 with the
exception of numbers 17, 21, 24, and 34 which were found
inconsistent with the North Carolina Coastal Management Program.
2. A 401 Water Quality Certification is received, where required, from
the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management.
This letter does not relieve you of the responsibility to insure that all
other State authorization and/or permit requirements are met prior to
implementation of the project. Please feel free to contact Mr. Steve Benton at

Dear Mr. Ward:
Please reference your application received February 24, 1993, for
Department of the Army authorization to place fill material on approximately
0.03 acres of 404 wetlands, in conjunction with replacing existing bridge No.
30 with three, 95-inch by 67-inch corrugated steel pipe arches, located off
S.R. 1314, adjacent to Cypress Swamp, east of Rosemead, in Bertie County,
North Carolina.
For the purposes of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program,
Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330.6, published in the
Federal Register on November 22, 1991, lists nationwide permits.
Authorization, pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899
and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, was provided for fills for roads
crossing waters of the United States (including wetlands and other special
aquatic sites) provided:
a. The width of the fill is limited to the minimum necessary for the
actual crossing;
b. The fill placed in waters of the United States is limited to a filled
area of no more than one-third acre. Furthermore, no more than a total of 200
linear feet of the fill for the roadway can occur in special aquatic sites,
including wetlands;
C. The crossing is culverted, bridged or otherwise designed to prevent
the restriction of, and to withstand, expected highflows and the movement of
aquatic organisms;
d. The crossing, including all attendant features, both temporary and
permanent, is part of a single and complete project for crossing of a water of
the United States; and
e. For fills in special aquatic sites, including wetlands, the permittee
notifies the District Engineer in accordance with the "Notification" general
condition.

Your work is authorized by this nationwide permit provided it is
accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed conditions. This
nationwide permit does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain any
required State or local approval.

nationwide permit will remain authorized provided the activity is completed
within 12 months of the date of the nationwide permit's expiration,
modification or revocation, unless discretionary authority has been exercised
on a case-by-case basis to modify, suspend, or revoke the authorization.
