APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Lindsey Riddick
North Carolina Department of Transportation
P.O. Box 850
Edenton, NC, 27932
Dear Mr. Riddick:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to replace Bridge No. 40 over
Buckhom Creek in Gates County, as you described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality on November
16, 1999. 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 198200031 when the Corps of Engineers issues it. 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 Water shed regulations. This approval
will expire when the accompanying 404 or CAMA permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
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 the property is sold, the new owner must be given a
copy of this Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. 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.
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 919-733-9646.
Sincerely,
11?•-t?

. . SUBJECT: Gates County, Replace Bridge No. 40 over Buckhom Creek on SR 1200
Mr. Michael F. Bell, P. W. S. `

Regulatory Field Office
P. O. Box 1000
Washington, North Carolina 27889-1000
Dear Mr. Bell:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation proposes to replace the existing bridge over
Buckhom Creek. Bridge No. 40 will be replaced with two 112.0 inch x 75.0 inch corrugated
aluminum pipe arches. Each pipe will be 60.0 feet in length. Additionally, a small amount of
rip-rap will be placed at each pipe end for stabilization.
Enclosed please find a project site map, a drawing of the proposed work, and a pre-construction
notification form. This project will impact approximately 70.0 linear feet of jurisdictional
surface waters. Please be advised that there wilt'be no work within the channel of Buckhorn
Creek other than what is specifically shown on the attached drawings. This project will not
impact jurisdictional wetlands. Buckhorn Creek is a bank to bank stream at the project site.

It is anticipated that construction of this project will be authorized under a Department of the
Army Nationwide Permit No. 14. By copy of this letter, we are also requesting a 401 General
Water Quality Certification # 3103 (for NWP 14) from the NC Division of Water Quality. The
Department's is preparing to pave SR 1200 and would like to replace bridge #40 before
initializing the resurfacing. Therefore, your help in expediting the review process will be greatly
appreciated. Thank you for your help with this important matter. If you have any questions or
need any additional information, please contact me at 252-482-7977.
