Dear Mr. Wilson:
Reference is made to the meeting of July 21, 1992, with Mr. John Thomas
of my staff and Mr. Joe Humble of Davis - Martin - Powell & Associates, Inc.
(engineering consultant for site), at your property located off of Central
Avenue, adjacent to an unnamed tributary to Richland Creek, High Point,
Q,-tktford County, North Carolina. The purpose of this meeting was to discuss
plans for an access road for the proposed White Horse Canyon subdivision, and
to inspect the site for wetlands subject to Department of the Army permitting
authority.
The meeting revealed that the site is located adjacent to an unnamed,
above headwaters tributary of Richland Creek. Site plans provided by Mr.
Humble showed proposed impacts of,,,O..52 acres of jurisdictional wetlands in
association with the construction of an access road for the aforementioned
housing development.
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

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.
As is discussed, you should contact the following State agencies to obtain
the required State authorizations prior to starting work: Mr. John Dorney,
