Jeff A Attached is the citation that I spoke of to Rep Moore yesterday. It is Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The relevant
language is highlighted on the first page of the attachment. If I was writing the bill language, I would keep it very simple and
to the point. Something like:
In accordance with Section 401(a)(1) of the federal Clean Water Act, it is hereby recognized that the State of North Carolina
has waived its right to issue a Section 401 Certification for the proposed Cleveland County Water Reservoir on the First Broad
River in Cleveland County, NC. Therefore, no Section 401 Certification shall be required or issued with respect to the federal
application for this project.
I hope that is helpful. Just let me know if you need anything else. Thanks.

Tom,
I talked with Rep Tim Moore today and he mentioned his meeting with you and Mitch yesterday. I would like to get
either a summary or some draft language based to clarify the 401 permit issue and would like to prepare a bill ASAP (Sen
Daniel would be our sponsor over here). Thanks!
