Dear Mr. Cook:
Subject: Proposed Fill in Water
Proposed renovation of existing dam and canal
Davie County
DEM Project,#92403
Upon review of your request for Water Quality Certification
to conduct maintenance dredging of an existing canal for
Coolemee Hydro project on South Yadkin River at
Coolemee, N. C. in Davie County, we have determined that the
proposed fill can be covered by General Water Quality
Certification No. 2745 issued January 21, 1992. A copy of.the
General Certification is attached. This Certification may be
used in qualifying for coverage under Corps of Engineers'
Nationwide Permit No. 3. An additional condition is that
dredging must be done after the canal is drained and that all
dredge spoil must be disposed of in an upland site and properly
stabilized to prevent offsite erosion.
If you have any questions, please contact John Dorney
at 919/733-1786.
Sincerely,
n Pre ton Howard, Jr. P.E.
