For the purposes of the Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program, Title 33,
Code of Federal Regulations (CF?,), Part 330, published in the Federal Register
on November 13, 1986, lists. nationwide permits. Authorization was provided
for the discharge of concrete into tightly sealed forms or cells where the
concrete is used as a structural member which would not otherwise be subject
to Clean Water Act jurisdiction.
Your work, involving the installation of concrete pilings within Abbotts
Creek to support the aforementioned foot bridge, is authorized by nationwide
permit provided it is accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed
.::conditions. You should contact Mr. William Mills, N. C. Division of
Environmental Management, [phone], to obtain the necessary Section 401,
Water Quality Certification prior to starting work. Please be aware that this
correspondence does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain any other
required State or local approval.
This verification will be valid until the nationwide permit is modified,
reissued or revoked. All nationwide permits are scheduled to be modified,
reissued or revoked prior to January 13, 1992. It is incumbent upon you to
remain informed of changes to the nationwide permits. We will issue a public
notice announcing changes when they occur.. Furthermore, if you commence or
are under contact to commence this activity before the date the nationwide
permit is modified or revoked, you will have twelve months form the date of
the modification or revocation to complete the activity under the present
terms and conditions of this nationwide permit.
