The subject project involves the installation of a wastewater discharge
line from the proposed Smithfield Foods (Carolina Food Processors) Wastewater
Treatment Plant to the Cape Fear River. According to information submitted by
Barrett Kays & Associates, a small section of wetlands will be crossed during
installation of this line. Total wetland impacts excluding the submerged
outfall are expected to be less than 1,000 sq. ft. A corridor approximately
10 feet wide will be disturbed during the course of the project but will be
restored to original contours at completion.
Due to the insignificant size of the wetland disturbance, and the
anticipation of no long term adverse impacts, it is the recommendation of this
office that the appropriate certification be granted.
If additional information or clarification is required, please advise.

Bladen County, NC
Dear Mr. Dorney:
This letter is written in response to your telephone conversation with
Mr. James Spangler, Project Manager of our firm on October 15 and 16,
1991. As you indicated, this letter and associated attachments can
serve as the official 401 Certification application.
Barrett Kays and Associates, P.A., as agents for Smithfield Foods, Inc.
and Carolina Food Processors, requests that your office proceed
immediately with the 401 Certification process for the project consisting
of the following:
Installation of a process wastewater discharge pipe crossing a small
wetland area located in the wastewater utility line easement, and
construction of submerged outfall structure in the Cape Fear River.
The project will consist of 18" pipe, installed approximately 3 feet
beneath ground surface. The pipeline will be carrying approximately
60 psi. Clearing and other temporary construction impacts will be
minimal and will include only the width necessary for machinery to

excluding the submerged outfall, are anticipated to be less than 1000
square feet. The surface will be restored to original contours and
grassed. Bid documents are available by writing to Mr. Michael King,
Carolina Food Processors, P.O. Box 99, Tarheel, NC 28395.
As you know, this project has already received an NPDES permit and
authorization to construct from your Department, as well as all required
authorizations from the Corps of Engineers. We understand that your
office will be moving ahead with the certification process as required in
15 NCAC 21-1.0500, including Public Notification.
We also understand that failure to obtain 401 Certification from your
office will in no way invalidate any permits or authorizations already
received by Smithfield Foods, Inc., Carolina Food Processors, their
representatives and/or their agents.
Please contact our office by close of business today should you require
additional information. As you have indicated that the Public Notice
will be published on October 17, 1991 in the local Bladen County

Gentlemen:
Reference your letter of September 17, 1991, whereby Barrett Kays and
Associates, on your behalf, informed us of your plans to install an outfall
structure and place a wastewater utility line through wetlands and on the Cape
Fear River, Smithfield Foods Site, Tarheel, Bladen County, North Carolina.
For the purposes of the Corps of Engineers, Regulatory Program, Title 33,
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330, published in the Federal Register
on November 13, 1986, lists nationwide permits. Authorization was provided
for outfall structures and associated intake structures where the effluent
from that outfall has been permitted under the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) program. Also, authorization was provided for the
discharge of material for backfill or bedding for utility lines, including
outfall and intake structures, provided there is no change in pre-construction
bottom contours and all excess material is removed to an upland disposal area.
Your work is authorized by nationwide permit provided it is accomplished
in strict accordance with the enclosed conditions. The nationwide permit does
not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain any 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 contract to commence this activity before the date the nationwide
permit is modified or revoked, you will have 12 months from the date of the
modification or revocation to complete the activity under the present terms
and conditions of this nationwide permit.
