Action ID. 199202711 Olympic Products Company of Cone Mills Corporation C/O Mr . Randy Mize 4100 Pleasant Garden Road Y
Greensboro, North Carolina 27406
Dear Mr. Mize:
Through coordination with Mr. Steve Coleman of Borum and Associates
(engineering consultants for the site), we have learned of your plans to
construct proposed water and sewer improvements for the Olympic Products
Facility located off of Pleasant Garden Road adjacent to an unnamed tributary
of South Buffalo Creek, Greensboro, Guilford County, North Carolina.
Reference is also made to the site visit of June 23, 1992, conducted by
Mr. John Thomas of my staff at the aforementioned project site. Also in
attendance was Mr. Coleman. The purpose of the site visit was to review
provided plans for the aforementioned project, and to inspect the site for
waters and wetlands subject to Department of the Army permitting authority.
The site visit revealed and the provided plans / profiles for the
aforementioned project showed that you propose construction of water and sewer
utility lines below natural grade within a 20' construction easement adjacent
to an unnamed tributary of South Buffalo Creek. Also your plans and profiles
show other sections of proposed utility outfall either located on high ground
or elevated over waters of the United States without discharge of fill into
regulated areas.
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, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, was provided
for the discharge of material for backfill or bedding for utility lines,
including outfa11 and intake structures, provided there is no change in pre-
construction contours.
Your work is authorized by this nationwide permit 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 other required or local approval. You should contact Mr. John
Dorney, North Carolina Division of Environmental Management, [phone],
to obtain the necessary Section 401, Water Quality Certification prior to
starting work.

-2-
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.
Thank you for your time and cooperation. If you have any questions,
please contact Mr. Thomas, Raleigh Regulatory Field Office, telephone
[phone].
Sincerely,
G. Wayne Wright
Chief, Regulatory Branch
