Please.reference the the site visit of December 1, 1992, conducted by
Mr. John Thomas of my staff at your property located off of Church Street S.R.
1001 adjacent to an unnamed tributary of North Buffalo Creek (Buffalo Lake),
Greensboro, Guilford County, North Carolina. The purpose of this meeting was
to review plans for construction of a road access adjacent to the
aforementioned tributary, and to inspect the site for waters and wetlands
subject to Department of the Army permitting authority.
The meeting revealed that the proposed site is located adjacent to, and
above the headwaters of, an unnamed tributary to North Buffalo Creek. The.
review of the proposed development plans provided by Mr. Chuck Truby of Borum,
Wade and Associates (engineering consultant for project) indicates that
construction of the road access (Henry Street Extension) will involve adverse
modification to approximate 0.52 acres of wetlands on the aforementioned
tributary.
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.
