Dear Mr. Holderman:

Reference is made to your letter of March 29, 1993, regarding your plans
to discharge dredged/fill material into the waters/wetlands of Sugar Tree
Branch, associated with the replacement of existing Bridge NO. 103 with a 200
linear feet line of 95"x67" CMPA pipe culvert on S.R. 1341, north of Dresden,
Ashe County, North Carolina. Reference is also made to Mr. Joe Mickey's
letter of April 6, 1993, in which the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission expressed no objections to the planned road improvements provided
that:
a. No heavy equipment is operated in the live streams in order to
minimize sedimentation and prevent introduction of other pollutants.
b. Erosion control measures should be implemented where soil is disturbed
and maintained until project completion.
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 was provided, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act,
for discharges of dredged or fill material into headwaters and isolated waters
provided:
a. the discharge does not cause the loss of more than 10 acres of waters
of the United States;
b. the permittee notifies the District Engineer if the discharge would
cause the loss of waters of the United States greater than one acre in
accordance with the "Notification" general condition. For discharges in
special aquatic sites, including wetlands, the notification must also include
a delineation of affected specific aquatic sites, including wetlands; and

v?A

-2-
c. the discharge, including all attendant features, both tempora= anc
permanent, is part of a single and complete project.
Special conditions of this regional general permit state that before
discharging dredged or fill material into waters of the United States
occurring within the 25 mountain counties of North Carolina that contain trout
waters, the applicant will obtain a letter of approval from the North Carolina
Wildlife Resource Commission. Review of the information you have provided,
and the comments submitted by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission, reveals that your proposed work, involving adverse modification to
less than an acre (0.05 acre) of waters of the United States located above the
headwaters of the aforementioned tributary, is authorized by nationwide permit
provided it is accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed conditions
and the recommendations set forth by the Wildlife Resources Commission. This
nationwide permit does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain any
required State or local approval.
This verification will be valid.for 2 years from the date of this letter
unless the nationwide authorization is modified, reissued, or revoked. Also,
this verification will remain valid for the 2 years if, during that period,
the nationwide permit authorization is reissued without modification or the
activity complies with any subsequent modification of the nationwide permit
authorization. If during the 2 years, the nationwide permit authorization
expires or is suspended or revoked, or is modified, such that the activity
would no longer comply with the terms and conditions of the nationwide permit,
activities which have commenced (i.e., are under construction) or are under
contract to commence in reliance upon the 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.
Thank you for your time and cooperation. If you have any questions,
please contact Mr: Thomas, Raleigh Regulatory Field Office, telephone (919)
876-8441.
Sincerely,
G. Wayne Wright
