SUBJECT: CESAW-0090-N-020-0233 Revision
Larry B. Holder_
Cherokee County

The revised request for this project indicates an off stream pond
with no discharge will be substituted for the run of the stream pond
previously proposed as pond number two. The dam proposed for pond
number one is to have facilities to allow fish passage. Construction
of these as they are now proposed should not have significant impact on
the streams. Construction. of the non-discharging pond should result in
a net increase of wetlands area.
Issuance of water quality certification for this project as revised is
recommended.
I discussed the above with the applicant Larry Holder. He will submit
a set of revised plans to you immediately.
If you have any questions, please let me know.

size dam and po following
alterations to after construc-
tion and to min erature and
flow rate downstream after construction:
At the downstream margin of the proposed dam site the creek valley
is traversed by a wide vein of granite. The creek channel enters
the upper valley on its western side. It continues down the far
west side of the valley until 'it reaches a .short projection of
granite from the west bank approximately 120 feet upstream from'
the wide transverse vein of graqte mentioned above. At this point
the creek channel moves into.the middle of the valley and then
crosses the main transverse granite structure to the east of the
midpoint. After cascading over the transverse granite vein, the
stream runs sharply to the west, behind the granite wall where
it then continues down the far west side of the valley.
continued on page 2
Page 2
We propose to dig a trench 120 feet long between the upstream and
downstream side of the west bank with a backhoe and place an 18
inch conduit pipe to divert the water away from the original channel
during dam construction. Three anti-seep collars will be utilized.
We will secure the intake end of the conduit pipe to the granite
floor with concrete using sandbags to prevent any contamination
of the water with fresh concrete. After construction of the dam
the conduit will be closed, to be opened again only if maintenance
work on the dam becomes necessary in the future.
Once the creek water has been safely diverted into the conduit
pipe, then we will proceed with the dam construction. First, we
shall excavate the topsoil and debris from the creek valley floor
beneath the dam site down to solid granite or clay. This material
will be loaded on a dump truck with a front-end loader and will
be transported out of the vacinity. We will then start construction
of an 8 inch vertical concrete wall on the upstream side of the
dam to prevent erosion and silting from the earthen dam during
and after construction. Simultaneously we will start a concrete
and stone wall on the downstream side of the dam beginning at the
main transverse vein of granite. The downstream wall will be at
least 12 inches thick with a slope of 1:2. We will then start
forming the earthen dam with fill material from the east bank of
the valley being careful to keep the concrete retaining walls at
a higher elevation than the rising earthen dam; again, to prevent
siltation.
We will then construct a concrete spillway over the top of,.the
dam 5 feet wide and 3 feet deep with walls 8 inches thick. We
plan to construct a bottom release inlet 5 feet x 3 feet with a
release 4 feet from the bottom of the dam. We will then construct
a trout ladder on the downstream side of the dam with no step to
be greater than 18 inches in height. Finally, we will construct
an emergency earthen spillway to the east of the dam as originally
proposed.
Our plans include construction of a home at the site of excavated
fill material on the east bank of the valley. Since this side
is greater than 4 miles from the nearest electrical power source,
we plan to construct an overshot waterwheel to power a 12 volt
DC generator. We plan to store this electrical energy with a bank
of batteries to feed a residential basic 12 volt system but with
a converter to alternating current for major appliances. We plan
to not use more than 50% flow rate of the stream during spawning
season, so as not to'impede the migration of trout upstream.
During the initial site survey several members of the various agencies
did not inspect the site of pond #1 because they misunderstood
it to be located in the pasture area downstream adjacent to the
proposed site of pond #2. This upper pond #1 site is totally located
in the hardwood forest which should provide shade from sunlight
and minimize heating of the surface water. Upon completion of
the dam we will plant trees along the top of the dam and along
any edges of the pond disturbed during construction.
continued on page 3
Page 3
We submit that this bottom release overdam spillway will conserve
habitat for existing teri-estial and acquatic species and will
ensure the normal flushing action of the creek during flooding
season. As water cascades over the concrete dam, the water should
be well oxygenated when it reaches the downstream creek bed to
assure high oxygenation for the trout.
To place our proposals into perspective-we have enclosed copies
of the Schuler Creek system. On the enclosed map the watershed
area of the Shuler Creek system is outlined in red, the Shuler
Creek and its tributaries are outlined in blue, and the watershed
area of our proposed dam site is outlined in green.
There is a total stream footage of 205,050 feet. Our proposed
construction of dam 41 will impact only about 350 feet of this
system, which is less than 0.1% of the total footage. The total
watershed area of the Shuler system, by my measurements, are estimated
to be about 13,244 acres, while the watershed area of our small
tributary is 250 acres. This makes up 1.89% of the total Shuler
Creek watershed system. We feel our proposal will not significantly
impact the Shuler system downstream.
It is our intent to manage these ponds only for private-recreational
purposes and never for commercial uses. No type of fertilizer
or growth enhancer will be introduced into the system. We also
plan to construct the dam during the Summer of 1991 when the creek
flow rate is low to minimize interfering with downstream habitat
during construction. We will then plan to fill the pond during
a time of high flow rate.
In making these alterations we have tried to comply with all of
the criticisms offered by the various review agencies. If this
new proposal does not meet everyone's satisfaction, we again will
be very happy to try to make adjustments accordingly. We plan
to be in the Asheville area on business from July 30th to August
2nd, and then plan to be at the Cherokee County, property August
2nd through the 4th. We will be most happy to meet with personnel
from any of the review agencies either at their Asheville office
or at the property site. If there are further questions or
suggestions, please feel free to call me. (Home phone [phone])

Thank you for your assistance.

Water Quality Certification
Your application for a Water Quality Certification under
Section 401 of the Federal Clean Water Act was received by the
Division on March 28, 1990. The activity for which the
Certification is sought is the placement of fill material into
the waters and adjacent wetlands of Elbow Creek. The purpose of
the proposed project is the creation of two "run of the stream"
ponds on the stream. A Water Quality Certification is a
determination by this Division that the activity for which the
Federal Permit or license is sought is not expected to result in
a violation of State Water Quality Standards for waters of the
State.
Our staff has reviewed your application and has identified
specific concerns for impacts of this project on the Water
Quality Standards. The significant existing uses of the Waters of
the State are to be protected as required in the Antidegradation
Policy of the Water Quality Standards (15A NCAC 2B .0201b.). The
construction of the dam will interfere with fish migration in
this stream which is classified as "C-Trout Waters." It is also
expected that temperature in these waters as a result of
impounding them will increase. Because of these concerns for
potential violation of the Standards, I have determined that your
application shall be denied.

This is a request for construction. of two "run of the stream" ponds
to be stocked with fish. The construction of two dams across an
unnamed tributary to Elbow Creek is proposed. Elbow Creek is
classified "C-Trout" and is located in the Hiwassee River Basin.
Construction of these ponds will result in increased water temperature
and interfere with fish migration. It is therefore recommended that
water quality certification for this project be denied. Modification
of the request to an off stream pond construction would be a desirable
and very practicable for this site. Loss of wetlands did not appear to
be a significant factor sincE! construction of the second pond would
yield a net increase in wetland area.
I discussed the above with the appli-ant Larry Holder. He prefers the
project as proposed.

This is the report of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) and the
Department of the Interior on the permit application by Mr. Larry B. Holder
to place fill material in waters and wetlands of Elbow Creek in order to
construct two ponds on Elbow Creek off SR 1325 near Violet, Cherokee County,
North Carolina (CESAW-0090-N-020-0233). This report is submitted in
accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, as
amended (16 U.S.C. 661-667e), and Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of
1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543). It is to be used in your
determination of 404(b)(1) compliance (40 CFR 230) and your public interest
review (33 CFR 320.4) as it relates to protection of fish and wildlife
resources.
According to information provided in Public Notice, the applicant is
proposing to construct two ponds, approximately 1,000 feet apart, on Elbow
Creek. The ponds will be located approximately 6,000 feet above Elbow
Creek's confluence with Shuler Creek. Shuler Creek is designated by the
North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (Commission) as General Trout
Waters. The first pond is proposed to have a surface area of 1.15 acres and
is to be stocked with trout. The second pond, located downstream of the
first pond, is proposed to have a surface area of 2.0 acres and is to be
stocked with bass and bluegill. According to the Public Notice the purpose
of the ponds is for: soil and water conservation; fish and wildlife values;
flood and fire protection; recreation; and aesthetics.
A Service biologist conducted an inspection of the project site on April 24,
1990. Elbow Creek is a small upper perennial trout stream with a substrate
comprised primarily of rock slab, cobble, and gravel. The ponds are
proposed for location on a section of the stream that runs adjacent to a
pasture area. Remaining riparian vegetation adjacent to the creek includes
such species as alder (Alnus serrulata), yellow poplar (Liriodendron
tulipifera), Eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis), red maple (Acer rubrum),
white pine (Pins strobus), rhododendron (Rhododendron maximum), black
willow (Salix ni ra), and dog-hobble (Leucothoe sp.). In addition to
providing spawning and nursery habitat for trout, streams such as Elbow
Creek typically provide important spawning, nesting, nursery, foraging,
and/or cover habitat for a wide variety of other aquatic and terrestrial
species. They generally perform an important function in maintaining

aquatic resources of their receiving waters by transporting food and
nutrient items to downstream flora and fauna.
Adverse impacts associated with the proposed project include: (1) the loss
of approximately 755 linear feet of high-quality mountain stream and wetland
habitat as a result of excavation and filling associated with construction
of the dams and inundation by the ponds; (2) increased turbidity and
sedimentation of Elbow Creek and Shuler creek below the project site during
construction of the proposed dams, resulting in degradation of water quality
and aquatic habitats in the two streams; (3) disruption of recruitment and
nutrient cycles of Elbow Creek and Shuler Creek since the 'dams and lakes
will act as barriers to stream life and the downstream flow of nutrients;
(4) degradation of aquatic habitats of Elbow Creek at and above the project
site since the ponds will act as sediment traps ; (5) likely alteration of
downstream water depth and velocity within Elbow Creek; and, (6) likely
increase in water temperature in Elbow Creek due to an increase in surface
area and the possible loss of overstory vegetation adjacent to the permanent
pool areas.
The Service considers waters and wetlands such as those within the project
area as habitat of high value that is scarce or becoming scarce on a
national basis or in this ecoregion. The Service's Mitigation Policy
(Federal Register 46(15):7644-7663, January 23, 1981) for such habitat calls
for no net loss of in-kind habitat value. After minimizing losses of such
habitat, the unavoidable losses should be replaced with similar habitat
values so that the population of the species associated with the habitat
will remain relatively stable in the area over time.
In view of the Service's Mitigation Policy and the value of the project area
to fish and wildlife resources, we believe that authorization of this
activity would result in significant adverse alteration and elimination of
important public trust resources. Accordingly, in order to effect fish and
wildlife conservation and to fulfill the public trust in this matter, the
Service recommends that a Department of the Army permit not be issued for
this project.
Based on our records, there are no federally listed or proposed endangered
or threatened plant or animal species in the impact area of the project. In
view of this, we believe the requirements of Section 7(c) of the Endangered
Species Act (Act) are fulfilled. However, obligations under Section 7 of
the Act must be reconsidered if: (1) new information reveals impacts of
this identified action that may affect listed species or critical habitat in
a manner not previously considered, (2) this action is subsequently modified
in a manner which was not considered in this review, or (3) a new species is
listed or critical habitat determined that may be affected by the identified
action.
Although we do not have records of federally listed or proposed species
within the project vicinity, there are two species that are currently under
status review by the Service [the hellbender (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis)

and the olive darter (Percina sguamata)l which may occur in the impact area
of the project. Status review species are not legally protected under the
Endangered Species Act and are not subject to any of its provisions,
including Section 7, until they are formally proposed or listed as
endangered/threatened. We are including these species in our response for
the purpose of giving you advance notification. These species may be listed
in the future, at which time they will be protected under the Endangered
Species Act. In the meantime, we would appreciate anything you might do to
avoid impacting these species.
The Service appreciates the opportunity to provide conservation
recommendations on this project. We would be pleased to meet with you, your
staff, or the applicant to discuss our concerns. Please advise us of any
action taken by your office in this matter. The Service has assigned
Asheville Field Office Log Number 4-2-90-050 to this project. Please refer
to this number in all future correspondence directed to us concerning this
matter.

Enclosed is the application of Mr. Larry Holder for a Department of the
Army permit and a State Water Quality Certification to place excavated/fill
material in Elbow Creek, a tributary to Shuler Creek, in conjunction with the
construction of two ponds in Northwest Violet Community, Cherokee County,
North Carolina. Your receipt of this letter verifies your acceptance of a

administrative regulations.
We are considering authorization of the proposed activity pursuant to
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and we have determined that a water
quality certification may be required under the provisions of Section 401 of
the same law. A Department of the Army permit will not be granted until the
certification has been obtained or waived.
In accordance with our administrative regulations, 60 days after receipt
of a request for certification is considered a reasonable time for State
action. Therefore, if your office has not acted on the request by May 23,
1990, the District Engineer will deem that waiver has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. David Baker, telephone
[phone].

PUBLIC NOTICE
MR. LARRY B. HOLDER, 801 Osceola Street, Stuart, Flordia 34994, has
applied for a Department of the Army permit TO PLACE EXCAVATED MATERIAL IN THE
WATERS AND WETLANDS OF ELBOW CREEK, A TRIBUTARY TO SHULER CREEK, ASSOCIATED
WITH CONSTRUCTION OF TWO PONDS, OFF S.R. 1325, Violet, Cherokee County, North
Carolina.
The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the
applicant. Plans submitted with the application show the proposed
construction of 2 ponds approximately 1,000 feet apart and 6,000 feet upstream
of Shuler Creek. Pond No. 1 is to have a surface area of 1.15 acres.measuring
250-foot-long by 200-foot-wide. Pond No. 2 is to have a pool area of 2 acres
measuring 320-foot-long by 270-foot-wide. Quantities of fill material for the
dam and pond construction are 5,900 and 3,300 cubic yards respectively. Pond
No. 1 will have a top width of 16 feet and Pond No. 2 will have a top width of
12 feet. Sideslopes vary between 2:1 and 3:1. Emergency spillways will be
excavated adjacent to the proposed dams on both ponds. Pond No. 1 is to be
stocked with trout and Pond No. 2 bass and bluegill. Approximately 755 feet
of stream channel will be impacted by the projects. Shuler Creek is
designated as General Trout Waters by the NC Wildlife Resources Commission.
The purpose of the ponds is for soil and water conservation; fish and wildlife
values; flood and fire protection; recreation; aesthetics and general
environmental concerns. Plans showing the proposed construction are included
with this public notice.
The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine
the need for the applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No
Department of the Army permit will.be issued until the coordinated State
viewpoint on the proposal has been received and reviewed by this agency, nor
will a Department of the Army permit be issued until the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management has determined the applicability of a
Water Quality Certificate as required by PL 92-500.
This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within the
comment period specified in the notice, that a public hearing be held to
consider this application. Requests for public hearing shall state, with
particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing.
The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the
National Register of Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered
properties, or properties listed as being eligible for inclusion therein, and
this worksite is not registered property or property listed as being eligible
for inclusion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register

-2-
constitutes the extent of cultural resource investigations by the District
Engineer, and he is otherwise unaware of the presence of such resources.
Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistorical, or historical
data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit.
The District Engineer has determined, based on a review of data furnished
by the applicant and onsite observations, that the activity will not affect
species, or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened
pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973.
The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of
the probable impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity
and its intended use on the public interest. Evaluation of the probable
impacts which the proposed activity may have on the public interest requires a
careful weighing of all those factors which become relevant in each particular
case. The benefits which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the
proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The
decision whether to authorize a proposal, and if so the conditions under which
it will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the outcome of the
general balancing process. That decision should reflect the national concern
for both protection and utilization of important resources. All factors which
may be relevant to the proposal must be considered including the cumulative
effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general
environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values,
flood hazards, flood plain values, land use, navigation, shore erosion and
accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy
needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of
property ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. For
activities involving the placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of
the United States, a permit will be denied if the discharge that would be
authorized by such permit would not comply with the Environmental Protection
Agencies' 404(b)(1) guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any
other applicable guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless the
District Engineer determines that it would be contrary to the public interest.
The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public;' Federal,
State and local agencies and officials; Indian Tribes and other interested
parties in order to consider and evaluate the impacts of this proposed
activity. Any comments received will be considered by the Corps of Engineers
to determine whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this
proposal. To make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on
endangered species, historic properties, water quality, general environmental
effects and the other public interest factors listed above. Comments are used
in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment and/or an Environmental
Impact Statement pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act'. Comments
are also used to determine the need for a public hearing and to determine the
overall public interest of the proposed activity.
-3-
Generally, the decision whether to issue this Department of the Army
permit will not be made until the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management (DEM) issues, denies, or waives State certification required by
Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The DEM considers whether or not the
proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the
Clean Water Act. The application and this public notice for the Department of
the Army permit serves as application to the DEM for certification.
Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be
reviewed at the offices of the Environmental Operations Section, North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management, Salisbury Street, Archdale
Building, Raleigh, North Carolina. Copies of such materials will be furnished
to any person requesting copies upon payment of reproduction costs.
The North Carolina Division of Environmental Management plans to take
final action in the issuance of the Clean Water Act certification on or after
May 23, 1990.
All persons desiring to make comments regarding the application for Clean
Water Act certification should do so in writing delivered to the North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management, Post Office Box 27687, Raleigh,
North Carolina 27611-7687, on or before May 18, 1990, Attention: Mr. William
Mills.
Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will
be received in this office, Attention: Mr. David Baker, until 4:15 p.m.,
April 30, 1990, or telephone [phone].

DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY
Wilmington District, Corps of Engineers
Post Office Box 1890
Wilmington, North Carolina 28402-1890
CESAW-C090-N-020-0233 March 29, 1990
PUBLIC NOTICE
MR. LARRY B. HOLDER, 801 Osceola Street, Stuart, Flordia 34994, has
applied for a Department of the Army permit TO PLACE EXCAVATED MATERIAL IN THE
WATERS AND WETLANDS OF ELBOW CREEK, A TRIBUTARY TO SHULER CREEK, ASSOCIATED
WITH CONSTRUCTION OF TWO PONDS, OFF S.R. 1325, Violet, Cherokee County, North
Carolina.
The following description of the work is taken from data provided by the
applicant. Plans submitted with the application show the proposed
construction of 2 ponds approximately 1,000 feet apart and 6,000 feet upstream
of Shuler Creek. Pond No. 1 is to have a surface area of 1.15 acres measuring
250-foot-long by 200-foot-wide. Pond No. 2 is to have a pool area of 2 acres
measuring 320-foot-long by 270-foot-wide. Quantities of fill material for the
dam and pond construction are 5,900 and 3,300 cubic yards respectively. Pond
No. 1 will have a top width of 16 feet and Pond No. 2 will have a top width of
12 feet. Sideslopes vary between 2:1 and 3:1. Emergency spillways will be
excavated adjacent to the proposed dams on both ponds. Pond No. 1 is to be
stocked with trout and Pond No. 2 bass and bluegill. Approximately 755 feet
of stream channel will be impacted by the projects. Shuler Creek is
designated as General Trout Waters by the NC Wildlife Resources Commission.
The purpose of the ponds is for soil and water conservation; fish and wildlife
values; flood and fire protection; recreation; aesthetics and general
environmental concerns. Plans showing the proposed construction are included
with this public notice.
The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine
the need for the applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No
Department of the Army permit will be issued until the coordinated State
viewpoint on the proposal has been received and reviewed by this agency, nor
will a Department of the Army permit be issued until the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management has determined the applicability of a
Water Quality Certificate as required by PL 92-500.
This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). Any person may request, in writing within the
comment period specified in the notice, that a public hearing be held to
consider this application. Requests for public hearing shall state, with
particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing.
The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the
National Register of Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered
properties, or properties listed as being eligible for inclusion therein, and
this worksite is not registered property or property listed as being eligible
for inclusion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register
t
a
-2-
constitutes the extent of cultural resource investigations by the District
Engineer, and he is otherwise unaware of the presence of such resources.
Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistorical, or historical
data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit.
The District Engineer has determined, based on a review of data furnished
by the applicant and onsite observations, that the activity will not affect
species, or their critical habitat, designated as endangered or threatened
pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973.
The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of
the probable impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity
and its intended use on the public interest. Evaluation of the probable
impacts which the proposed activity may have on the public interest requires a
careful weighing of all those factors which become relevant in each particular
case. The benefits which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the
proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The
decision whether to authorize a proposal, and if so the conditions under which
it will be allowed to occur, are therefore determined by the outcome of the
general balancing process. That decision should reflect the national concern
for both protection and utilization of important resources. All factors which
may be relevant to the proposal must be considered including the cumulative
effects thereof. Among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general
environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural values, fish and wildlife values,
flood hazards, flood plain values, land use, navigation, shore erosion and
accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy
needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of
property ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people. For
activities involving the placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of
the United States, a permit will be denied if the discharge that would be
authorized by such permit would not comply with the Environmental Protection
Agencies' 404(b)(1) guidelines. Subject to the preceding sentence and any
other applicable guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless the
District Engineer determines that it would be contrary to the public interest.
The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; Federal,
State and local agencies and officials; Indian Tribes and other interested
parties in order to consider and evaluate the impacts of this proposed
activity. Any comments received will be considered by the Corps of Engineers
to determine whether to issue, modify, condition or deny a permit for this
proposal. To make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on
endangered species, historic properties, water quality, general environmental
effects and the other public interest factors listed above. Comments are used
in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment and/or an Environmental
Impact Statement pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act. Comments
are also used to determine the need for a public hearing and to determine the
overall public interest of the proposed activity.

-3-
Generally, the decision whether to issue this Department of the Army
permit will not be made until the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management (DEM) issues, denies, or waives State certification required by
Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The DEM considers whether or not the
proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307 of the
Clean Water Act. The application and this public notice for the Department of
the Army permit serves as application to the DEM for certification.
Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be
reviewed at the offices of the Environmental Operations Section, North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management, Salisbury Street, Archdale
Building, Raleigh, North Carolina. Copies of such materials will be furnished
to any person requesting copies upon payment of reproduction costs.
The North Carolina Division of Environmental Management plans to take
final action in the issuance of the Clean Water Act certification on or after
May 23, 1990.
All persons desiring to make comments regarding the application for Clean
Water Act certification should do so in writing delivered to the North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management, Post Office Box 27687, Raleigh,
North Carolina 27611-7687, on or before May 18, 1990, Attention: Mr. William
Mills.
Written comments pertinent to the proposed work, as outlined above, will
be received in this office, Attention: Mr. David Baker, until 4:15 p.m.,
April 30, 1990, or telephone [phone].
