MEMORANDUM
JAN ? 2 ?g92
TO: John Dorney, Division of Environmental Management
Department of EH&NR
FROM: Richard B. Hamilton
Assistant Director
DATE: June 9, 1992
SUBJECT: 401 Water Quality Certification for Robert A. and
Joan A. Bell, wetland associated with a tributary
of Brices Creek, Craven County, North Carolina.
The Wildlife Resources Commission has reviewed the subject
document and professional biologists from our staff are familiar
with the habitat values of the project area. our comments are
provided in accordance with certain provisions of the Fish and
Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C.
661 et seq.), the North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (G.S.
113A-1 et seq., as amended; 1 NCAC 25), and the Coastal Area
Management Act ( G.S. 113 A-100 through 113A-128).
The applicants, Robert A. & Joan A. Bell are requesting 401
water quality certification to fill .9 acres of 1404' wetlands
under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The
purpose of this work is to clear and fill lots for residential
construction. The wetlands in question are located in a
residential area. These wetlands support a variety of` wildlife
resources and serve as important water filtration and recharging
areas. Although the acreage impacted is to be small, the
Wildlife Resources Commission cannot support the destruction of
wetlands for residential development and ask that the
certification be denied. The cumulative effect on overall
wetland resources from numerous small projects cannot be
discounted.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this project.
If we can be of further assistance, please contact us„

IN REPLY REFER TO October 15, 1992
Regulatory Branch
Action ID. 199200289 and Nationwide Permit No. 26 (Headwaters and :Isolated
Waters)
Mr. Robert Bell
3900 Hwy 17 South, Educational Square
New Bern, North Carolina 28563 ut? uVT 6 1992
Dear Mr. Bell:
I am writing you regarding a recent telephone conversation with
Mr. Norm Sanders of our Washington Regulatory Field office regarding your
property, a 1.17-acre tract located on Audrey Lane, between U.S. Highway 70
and S.R. 1113, east of New Bern, Craven County, North Carolina. By letter
dated November 18, 1991, we informed you that the property remains a wetland
pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) 33 U.S.C. 1344.
On June 16, 1992, you submitted a pre-discharge notification :form for
Nationwide Permit No. 26 (NWP26)on this property. Your application was for
filling and grading of 0.9 acre of the 1.2-acre lot. As Mr. Sanders
explained to you, NWP26 would still apply for less than one acre of fill
within the property boundary provided it is accomplished in strict
accordance with the enclosed conditions. Please be aware that this
authorization does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain any
required State or local approval.
For the purposes of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Regulatory
Program, Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330.6, published
in the Federal Register on November 22, 1991, lists nationwide permits
(NWP). Authorization was provided, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act, for discharges of dredged or fill material into headwaters
provided:
a. The discharge does not cause the loss of more than 10,acres of
waters of the United States;
b. The permittee notifies the District Engineer if the discharge would
cause the loss of waters of the United States greater than one acre in
accordance with the "Notification" general condition. For discharges in
special aquatic sites, including wetlands, the notification must also
include a delineation of affected specific aquatic sites, including
wetlands; and
c. The discharge, including all attendant features, both temporary and
permanent, is part of a single and complete project.
r?
-2-
Your work is authorized by this NWP provided it is accomplished in
strict accordance with the enclosed conditions. This NWP does not relieve
you of the responsibility to obtain any required State or local approval.
As discussed, you should contact the following State agencies to obtain the
required State authorizations prior to starting work: Mr. John Dorney, North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management, telephone [phone], and
Mr. Steve Benton, North Carolina Division of Coastal Management, telephone
[phone].
This verification will be valid for 2 years from the date of this letter
unless the NWP authorization is modified, reissued, or revoked. Also, this
verification will remain valid for the 2 years if, during that period, the NWP
authorization is reissued without modification or the activity complies with
any subsequent modification of the NWP authorization. If during the 2 years,
the NWP authorization expires or is suspended or revoked, or is modified, such
that the activity would no longer comply with the terms and conditions of the
NWP, activities which have commenced (i.e., are under construction) or are
under contract to commence in reliance upon the NWP will remain authorized
provided the activity is completed within 12 months of the date of the NWP's
expiration, modification or revocation, unless discretionary authority has
been exercised on a case-by-case basis to modify, suspend, or revoke the
authorization.
Thank you for your time and cooperation. Questions or comments may be
addressed to Mr. Sanders at telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
G. Wayne Wright
