Dear Mr. Meier:
Reference the November 2, 1992, meeting between your father, Mr. F. L.
Meier and Mr. Jeff Richter of my staff concerning your proposed placement of
fill material in wetlands adjacent to a tributary of Howe Creek, on your
property on Spanish Wells Drive in the Landfall subdivision in Wilmington, New
Hanover County, North Carolina.
The wetlands subject to our regulatory jurisdiction, pursuant to Section
404 of the Clean Water Act have been previously delineated on your property.
Mr. Richter has determined that your work will impact less than one acre of
wetlands, and the location of the wetlands is in the headwaters of the
tributary. Therefore, your work is authorized by our Nationwide Permit No.
26.
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.
Your work is authorized by this nationwide permit provided it is
accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed conditions and provided
you receive a Section 401 water quality certification from the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management and, in the coastal area, a consistency
determination from the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management. You
should contact Mr. John Dorney, telephone [phone], regarding water
quality certification, and Mr. Steve Benton, telephone [phone],
regarding consistency determination. This nationwide permit does not relieve
you of the responsibility to obtain other required State or local approval.
iii w
-2-
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.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Richter, Wilmington Field
Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone [phone].
