APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Mr. Stephen Moore
N.C. Dept. of Transportation
Routel, Box 169C
Marion, NC 28752
Dear Mr. Moore:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill material in 0.02 acres of
wetlands or waters for the purpose of improving SR 1330, as you described in your application dated 17
March 1997. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water
Quality Certification Number 3100. 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 including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control,
Coastal Stormwater, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. 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 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 Domey at 919-733-1786.
Sincerely,
r

1996-1997 Paving Project

/% NOVI
I am attaching a straight line diagram with erosion control plan, an
application form for a nationwide permit, and a county map section relative to the
paving of a portion of SR 1330, Hughes Gap Road in Mitchell County.
Hughes Gap Road is presently 14-16 feet wide. We plan to pave the road 18
feet wide and increase the typical section. The typical section is also attached.
Grading will be light to moderate. The project begins at the end of pavement, 1.79
miles north of SR 1332, and continues in a easterly direction for 0.62 mile.
We propose to replace/extend three (3) pipes which carry a live stream at
survey stations 0+15, 12+34, and 21+72.
By copy of this letter, we request Stephanie Goudreau, North Carolina
Wildlife Commission Mountain Region Coordinator, to comment directly to you
concerning the nationwide permit request. A request to work within the twenty-
five foot buffer zone will be made to the Department of Environment, Health and
Natural Resources at a later date.
