Re: Pre-Construction Notification Modification (DWQ Project #11-60771)
Written Approval - 401 Water Quality Certification
Transco - Bank Stabilization and Maintenance of Exposed 36-inch Pipeline
in Abernethy Creek
Gaston County, Bessemer City, North Carolina
Submar Job #SB2998
On behalf of Transco, Submar, Inc. is submitting this request for Section 401 Water Quality
Certification Written Approval to conduct bank stabilization activities and restore cover to
natural gas pipelines within waters of the United States.
The attached letter and check was returned to us indicating the subject application had the
"Incorrect Permitting Fee." I had a phone conversation with Mr. Ian McMillan on July 22, 2011
to discuss the Incorrect Permitting Fee Letter. Mr. McMillan advised me to adjust the Stream
Impacts (3a)(S1/S2) on Page 5 of the Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) to accurately identify
total impacts of the proposed project - which is 146 linear feet. Please refer to the enclosed
modified Page 5 of the PCN (5 copies provided) which has the corrections and the enclosed
check for $240.00 for permit fees associated with minor water quality application.
Your prompt attention and approval of this permit request will be appreciated. If you have any
questions, or if I may be of further service, please call me at [phone]. Thank you in
advance for your assistance in this matter.
Sincerely,
SUBMAR
