Dear Mr. Wilkins:
Subject: Proposed Fill in Headwaters or Isolated Wetlands
Green's Crossing Plaza Associates
Guilford County
Upon review of your request for Water Quality Certification
to place fill material in a wetland area adjacent to a tributary
to Horsepen Creek, we have determined that the proposed fill can
be covered by General Water Quality Certification No. 2176 issued
November 4, 1987. A copy of the General Certification is
attached. This Certification may be used in qualifying for
coverage under Corps of Engineers' Nationwide Permit No. 26.
If you have any questions, please contact Bill Mills at
919/733-5083.
Sincerely,
R. Paul Wilms

Dear Mr. Mills:
Mr. F. Kent Wilkins has requested that I write to you on
behalf of Green's Crossing Plaza Associates to request that your
office approve an exemption for the proposed fill activity which
he proposes to include under the General Certification for
Headwater Area on his property located off U.S. 220 North on an
unnamed tributary to Horsepen Creek in North Greensboro, Guilford
County, North Carolina. This property is located at the
southeast corner of the intersection of 220 North and Cotswald
Terrace about one hundred yards south of the northern most
Greensboro city limit on U.S. 220 North. It is immediately on
your right past the new Battleground Plaza Shopping Center.
I enclose a copy of the permit recently received by Mr.
V Wilkins from the Department of the Army releasing this property
?pa
? 'from Federal Wetland Regulatory Jurisdiction since it involves
discharging of fill material into less than one acre (+ or -
3,400 square feet) of waters of the United States s located above
?y??jn??neaav?? of the ?e?m??<<??a located above
.I?? the headwaters of the aforementioned tributary.
?
I would appreciate your expeditious consideration of this
K
request since several matters of rather pressing importance
depend upon an expeditious response from your office. If we can
be of any help to you, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Very t y , urs,

a. Any discharge of dredged or fill material will not occur in the
proximity of a public water supply.
b. The activity will not jeopardize a threatened or endangered species as
identified under the Endangered Species Act, or destroy or adversely modify
the critical habitat of such species.
c. The activity will not significantly disrupt the movement of those
species of aquatic life indigenous to the waterbody (unless the primary
purpose of the fill is to impound water).
d. Any discharge of dredged or fill material will consist of suitable
material free from toxic pollutants.
e. Any structure or fill will be properly maintained.
f. If the activity may adversely affect historic properties which the
National Park Service has listed on, or determined eligible for listing on,
the National Register of Historic Places, or if significant historic
properties are encountered before or during work, the permittee will notify
the District Engineer.
g. An individual state water quality certification must be obtained or
waived. Conditions of certification will be considered to be special
conditions of the Federal nationwide permit.
h. The following management practices will be followed to the maximum
extent:
(1) Discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United
States will be avoided or minimized through the use of other practical
alternatives.
(2) Discharges in spawning areas during spawning seasons will be
avoided.
(3) Discharges will not restrict or impede the movement of aquatic
species indigenous to the waters or the passage of normal or expected high
flows or cause the relocation of the waters (unless the primary purpose of the
fill is to impound water).
(4) If the discharge creates an impoundment of water, adverse impacts
on the aquatic system caused by the accelerated passage of water and/or the
restriction of its flow will be minimized.

(5) Discharge in wetland areas will be avoided.
(6) Heavy equipment working in wetlands will be placed on mats.
(7) Discharges into breeding areas for migratory waterfowl will be
avoided.
