Nationwide Permit No. 26 (Headwaters and Isolated Waters)
Beaufort-Morehead Airport Authority
Attn: Mr. John Betts
P.O. Box 875.
Beaufort, North Carolina 28516
Dear Mr. Betts:
JAN -?'?
g 'J
Reference the November 13, 1992 letter from our office, concerning the
jurisdictional wetlands on Beaufort-Morehead Airport Authority's property
located at the south end of Runway 32, off Highway 101, adjacent to an unnamed
tributary to Gallant Channel, Beaufort, Carteret County, North Carolina.
Your proposed plans are to mechanize landclear and seed the entire 2.44
acre tract of land, impacting approximately 0.5 Acres of regulated wetlands.
Mr. Sugg has determined that the parcel of wetland is isolated and that the
activity may be authorized by a Department of the Army Nationwide Permit #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
provided:
a. the discharge does not cause the loss of more than 1 acre of waters of
the United States; or
b. the permittee notifies the District Engineer if the discharge would
cause the loss of waters of the United States greater than one but less than
10 acres 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 under paragraph a. above 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 required State or local approval. If you have not already done so, you
should contact the following State agencies to obtain the required State
authorizations prior to starting work: Mr. John Dorney, North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management, telephone [phone], for a Section
401 Water Quality Certification, and Mr. Steve Benton, North Carolina Divison
of Coastal Management, telephone [phone], regarding a consistency
determination.
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. Sugg, Wilmington Field
Office, Regulatory Branch, at telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
G. Wayne Wright
