Dear Mr. Eilskov:
D
Reference your application of May 29, 1992, for Department of the Army
authorization to place fill material into a-acre forested wetland area to
facilitate expansion of the Sou-Tex Plant at Mt. Holly, d6ton County, North
Carolina. This wetland area lies adjacent to an unnamed, headwaters tributary
of the Catawba River and was inspected by Mr. Steven Lund of my Asheville
staff during an onsite meeting with you and your consultants, Mr. Bob Lyons
and Mr. Richard Alsop, on May 20, 1992.
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.
Authorization was provided, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act,
for discharges of dredged or fill material into headwaters and isolated waters
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.
Your work is authorized by this nationwide permit provided it is
accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed conditions. This
- nationwide permit does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain any
required State or local approval. Please contact Mr. John Dorney, North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management, telephone [phone], to
obtain a waiver or water quality certification for the proposed work. This
permit is effective upon receipt of the waiver or certification.

This verification will be valid for 2 years from the date of this letter
unless the nationwide authorization is modified, reissued, or revoked. Also,
this verification will remain valid for the 2 years if, during that period,
the nationwide permit authorization is reissued without modification or the
activity complies with any subsequent modification of the nationwide permit
authorization. If during the 2 years, the nationwide permit 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 nationwide permit,
activities which have commenced (i.e., are under construction) or are under
contract to commence in reliance upon the nationwide permit will remain
authorized provided the activity is completed within 12 months of the date of
the nationwide permit's expiration, modification or revocation, unless
discretionary authority has been exercised on a case-by-case basis to modify,
suspend, or revoke the authorization.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Steven Lund, Asheville Field
Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone [phone].
