Dear Mr. Nelson:
January 15, 1997
Alamance County
WQC 401 Project #970003
You have our approval to place fill material in waters for the purpose of replacing a bridge at SR 1759
over Branch Creek (Bridge #55), as you described in your application dated 30 December 1996. After
reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification
Number 2735. This certification allows you to use General Permit Number 031 when it is 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. If total
wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be
required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to be valid, you must
follow the conditions listed in the attached certification. In addition, you should get any other federal, state
or local permits before you go ahead with your project. Also this approval will expire when the
accompanying 404 or CAMA permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
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 fora 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.
