RE: Proposed fill in wetlands of White Oak Creek, Swift
Creek and Little Creek in Johnston County
DEM Project No. 92293
Dear Mr. Howard:
We have received a copy of your letter dated July 6, 1992,
to Mr. Richard B. Self, Johnston County Manager, concerning
a request for a water quality certification for the
referenced creek crossings. Your letter references only the
crossing of White Oak Creek. The County had requested the
water quality certification for crossings of White Oak,
Swift, and Little Creeks, as well as an unnamed stream
crossing NC42 between Guy Road and Amelia Road. Since that
request, the referenced unnamed stream crossing has been
deleted from the project.
We assume the water quality certification does cover the
White Oak and Little Creek crossings as well. On behalf of
Johnston County, we would kindly appreciate your providing
a revised letter which references the other two streams.

Upon review of your request for Water Quality Certification
to place fill material in 0.50 acres of wetlands for
water and sewer line crossings located at NC 42 in Johnston
County, we have determined that the proposed fill can be covered
by General Water Quality Certification No. 2664 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. 12.

MEMORANDUM
To: John Dorney
Through: Arthur Mouberry, .E.- Regional Supervisor
Donnelly, P.E.- Regional Water Quality
Supervisor
From: Karl Shaffer- Soil Scientist
Subject: 401 Certification Applications
Projects No. 92293, 92315, 92312, and 92322
None of the above projects warranted a site inspection, due
to minimal extent of impacted wetland acreage, area or type of
wetland impacted, or type of project proposed. Each will be
referenced with watershed classifications:
1. Project No. 92293. White Oak Creek Crossing. Johnston County.
(j This consistes of three creek crossings with sanitary sewer
lines. All impacts will be adjacent to the creek channels, and
should not impact water quality, with the exception of some
construction impacts. All three creeks are class C NSW in the
Neuse River Basin. Recommend the 401 be issued with general
certification and conditions.
2. Project No. 92315. Town of Weldon. Halifax County. This
project consists of 0.2 acres of impact by constructing a sewer
line to connect a new co-generation facility with the existing
sewer plant. The sewer line is to be placed in existing
easements, and finish grade to be restored to original contours.
The drainage is to the Roanoke River, class C. Recommend the 401
be issued with general certification and conditions.
3. Project No. 92312. New Hope Road Part III. Wake County. This
project is for roadway re-alignment and will impact 0.5 acres of
wetlands. I expect that the wetlands are relatively of low value.
Erosion and sedimentation concerns have been addressed. The area
drains to an unnamed tributary of Crabtree Creek, class C NSW,
Neuse watershed. Recommend that a 401 be issued with the
conditions to insure that E&S are accounted for.
4. Project No. 92322. NC DOT Bridge Replacement. Johnston County.
This is to be an impact of 0.05 acres for a bridge replacement
over SR 1700. The stream, Cattail Creek, is class C NSW in the
Neuse watershed. Recommend a 401 be issued with general
certification and conditions.

WATER IlAL(? ? „?,.
On behalf of Johnston County, we are submitting herewith seven (7) copies of
the joint application form for nationwide permits that require notification. The
permit covers water and sewer line crossings of Little Creek, White Oak Creek,
Swift Creek and an unnamed stream in Johnston County adjacent to, and
within the rights-of-way of NC 42. We have reviewed each of the crossings
with Mr. Eric Alsmyer of the COE in the field.
Please note that each of the crossings will result in no change in the existing
contours. The crossings, further, are within stream segments previously
disturbed by roadway/bridge construction and which are currently maintained
by DOT.
Please let us know if any additional information is required at this time.

Dear Mr. Self:
Reference the application of June 5, 1992, submitted on your behalf by
McKim & Creed, for Department of the Army authorization to discharge fill
material within waters of the United States, and wetlands adjacent to Little,
White Oak, and Swift creek and tributaries, for backfill and bedding related
to construction of water and sewer lines along N.C. 42 and S.R. 1547,
associated with the I-40/N.C. 42 Interchange (Mebane Packaging) Project, west
of Clayton, Johnston County, North Carolina.
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 outfall 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. This
nationwide permit does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain any
required State or local approval. You should contact Mr. John Dorney of the
North Carolina Division of Environmental Management at [phone]
regarding State Water Quality 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

to Mr. Richard B. Self, Johnston County Manager, concerning
a request for a water quality certification for the
referenced creek crossings. Your letter references only the
crossing of White Oak Creek. The County had requested the

submitted in support of a request for Department of the Army authorization to
discharge fill material within waters of the United States, and wetlands
adjacent to various tributaries of the Neuse River, for backfill, bedding and

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.
