Dear Mr. Pittman:
Reference your May 13, 1992 application for Department of the Army
authorization to install a 1.5-inch diameter cathodic protection cable in
Rowan County, North Carolina. The cable will be installed in a trench 4
to 8 inches wide and a minimum of 36 inches deep for 2.29 miles starting at
U.S. 601 and running northeast to the South Yadkin River. It will be
necessary to cross several unnamed tributaries of Second Creek and the South
Yadkin River. Material excavated from the trench will be returned and
contours restored to original condition. Disturbed areas will be seeded,
fertilized, and mulched.
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.
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 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
f..-n' y
-2-
conditions of the NWP authorization, 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.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Steve Chapin, Asheville
Field Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
G. Wayne Wright

Re: Proposed Cathodic Protection Cable Installation in Rowan County, North Carolina,
W.O. 5083.64
Dear Mr. Dorney:
On May 27, 1992, I submitted a request to your office for a water quality certification or waiver
for the referenced project. Since then, I have received the Corps of Engineers determination that
the project falls under Nationwide Permit 12 for which the State of North Carolina has denied
water quality certification. Therefore, please find enclosed seven copies of an application for
401 certification concurrence.
As I described in my aforementioned letter, the actual disturbances associated with this type of
work are minimal since the trench is only 6" wide. Therefore, I respectfully request that you
review this information and issue the necessary approval as soon as possible. Should you have
any questions, please feel free to contact me at the above address or phone [phone].
Sincerely,
arles G. Pittman
