Subject: Correction to 401 Water Quality Certifications for NCDWQ Project No. 20100823.
Dear Dr. Thorpe:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
This letter is in regards to the General 401 Water Quality Certification issued for R-5185 authorizing stream
and wetland impacts associated with the widening of US 401 from the intersection of NC 210 to just north of
SR 1426 in Harnett County. Condition 2 of the certification, shall be replaced with the following revised
condition language:
Compensatory mitigation for 154 linear feet of impact to streams is required. We understand that you
have chosen to perform compensatory mitigation for impacts to streams through the North Carolina
Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP), and that the EEP has agreed to implement the mitigation for the
project. CEP has indicated in a letter dated December 13, 2011 that they will assume responsibility for
satisfying the federal Clean Water Act compensatory mitigation requirements for the above-referenced
project, in accordance with the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources'
Ecosystem Enhancement Program In-Lieu Fee Instrument signed July 28, 2010.
Please attach a copy of this letter with any copies of the original Water Quality Certifications and any
subsequent modifications. All other conditions written into the previous Water Quality Certification for this
project still applies, except where superseded by this correction. If you have any questions, please contact
Mason Herndon at [phone].
Sincerely,
