Dear Mr. Cabe:
We have completed our review of your Department of the Army permit application (Action
ID: SAW-2004-20055) to stabilize the dock located just below the lower falls of the Roanoke
River (HUC 03010107), immediately upstream of the existing Weldon Boating Access Area boat
ramp, at 1090 Rockfish Drive, east of its intersection with US Highways 158/301, in Weldon,
Halifax County, North Carolina. The proposed project involves the discharge of 70 cubic yards
of clean fill (Class B rip rap) into 1,584 square feet (0.036 acre) of the Roanoke River.
Please be advised that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is prepared to take final
action on the application; however, by Federal law we can take no final action until the North
Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) issues a Section 401 Water Quality
Certification (WQC). As of the date of this letter, we have no written indication that NCDWR
has issued a certification for the work.
Once NCDWR has issued or waived the required authorization, you must provide us with a
copy. Upon receipt, final action on the Department of the Army permit application will be taken
providing there have been no significant changes in the Corps' evaluation policies during that
period or any significant project modifications. Conditions of NCDWR's WQC will become
conditions to any final Department of the Army permit, Should their action on the required
certification approve a project different from that shown on the current application, a
modification to the application will be required. Please notify us when you submit copies of the
NCDWR WQC of any such changes. Substantial changes may require a new permit evaluation
process, including issuance of a new public notice.
Please be advised that if NCDWR denies the required WQC, then the federal permit will be
denied without prejudice. If you should subsequently obtain the NCDWR WQC, you should
contact this office to determine how to proceed with your permit application.
You are cautioned that this is NOT a final action. Commencement of the work prior to
Department of the Armv final authorization would constitute a violation of Federal laws,
and subiect vou to further enforcement action. In addition, receipt of NCDWR's WOC
does not obviate the requirement for obtaining a final Department of the-Armv permit
prior to commencing the work.
Any questions concerning the application should be directed to Craig Brown, Regulatory
Specialist, 919-554-4884 ext 35.
Sincerely,
1pean B. Gibby
