Dear Mr. Blackley:
Reference your application of February 20, 1992, and subsequent modified
request of March 12, 1992, submitted by Little and Little, for Department of
the Army authorization to discharge fill material within waters of the United
States, causing the loss of an additional 0.53 acre of wetlands adjacent to,
and above the headwaters of, Basal Creek, for additional constructiona,fWake
Sandy Springs Planned Development (Phases 2A and 3A), in Fuquay-
County, North Carolina. Reference is also made to our letter of May 21, 1987
(SAWC087-N-092-0333), authorizing the loss of approximately 0.30 acre for the
initial work at Sandy Springs.
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
c. The discharge, including all attendant features, both temporary and
permanent, is part of a single and complete project.
Your work is authorized by this nationwide permit provided it is
accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed conditions. This
nationwide permit does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain any

-2-
required State or local approval. You should contact Mr. John Dorney of the
North Carolina Division of Environmental Management, telephone [phone],
regarding the need for State Water Quality Certification.
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. Eric Alsmeyer, Raleigh
Regulatory Field office, at telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
G. Wayne Wright
