Dear Sirs:
Please reference the the site visit of June 29, 1992, conducted by
Mr. John Thomas of my staff at your property located off US 158 adjacent to
Johnson Creek, Clemmons,Forsyth County, North Carolina. The purpose of this
site visit was to review plans provided by the Forsyth County planning
department for the proposed Carriage Brook subdivision, and to inspect-the
site for waters and wetlands subject to Department of the Army permitting
authority.
The site visit revealed that the proposed site is located adjacent to
Johnson Creek. The review of the proposed provided plans indicates that the
construction of the road access for the subdivision will involve a single
crossing of the aforementioned tributary. The site visit of the
aforementioned road alignment also showed that the proposed road crossing
would impact waters of the United States, but would not included any impacts
to special aquatic sites.
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, pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899
and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, was provided for fills for roads
crossing waters of the United States (including wetlands and other special
aquatic sites) provided:
a. The width of the fill is limited to the minimum necessary for the
actual crossing;
b. The fill placed in waters of the United States is limited to a filled
area of no more than one-third acre. Furthermore, no more than a total of 200
linear feet of the fill for the roadway can occur in special aquatic sites,
including wetlands;
c. The crossing is culverted, bridged or otherwise designed to prevent
the restriction of, and to withstand, expected high flows and the movement of
aquatic organisms;

d. The crossing, including all attendant features, both temporary and
permanent, is part of a single and complete project for crossing of a water of
the United States; and
e. For fills in special aquatic sites, including wetlands, the permittee
notifies the District Engineer in accordance with the "Notification" general
condition.
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
required State or local approval.
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], and Mr.- Steve
Benton, North Carolina Division of Coastal Management, telephone:
[phone].
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.
Please be reminded that no excavated or fill materials may be placed in
any waters or wetland areas without prior Federal permit authorization. Please
contact this office for any future proposed expansion that may propose impacts
to any water or wetland areas subject to Department of the Army permitting
authority.
