IN REPLY REFER TO July 22, 1992

Action ID. 199202660, Nationwide Permit No. 26 (Headwaters and Isolated
Waters)
Mr. Robert L. Strickland
Post Office Box 321
Salemburg, North Carolina 28385
Dear Mr. Strickland:
On June 24, 1992, you met with Ms. Jean Benton of my staff on your
property located off a private farm road, off S.R. 1322, approximately 100 to
200 yards north of S.R. 1233, above the headwaters of an unnamed tributary to
Rye Swamp, near Salemburg, Sampson County, North Carolina to determine our
regulatory jurisdiction pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.
Your primary application submitted to this office by the Soil Conservation
Service indicated that approximately 8 acres of wetlands would be impacted by
your proposed construction of turkey houses. Further examination by
Ms. Benton revealed that no more than 2.5 acres would be impacted by your
project. This activity may be permitted by Nationwide Permit No. 26 through
submission and approval of a Pre-Discharge. Notification application.
During this meeting, you indicated to Ms. Benton that you were responsible
for the mechanized land clearing that had already occurred. Ms. Benton
informed you that this activity within a wetland without a permit constitutes
a violation of our regulations. Therefore, she advised you to refrain from
any further activities until proper authorization from State agencies and our
office was obtained.
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 greater than 1 but not more than 10,
acres into headwaters and isolated waters of the United States. Your work is
authorized by this nationwide permit provided it is accomplished in strict
accordance with the enclosed conditions.
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

-2-
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.
As is discussed, you should contact the following State agency to obtain
the required State authorizations prior to starting work: Mr. John Dorney,
North Carolina Division of Environmental Management, telephone [phone].
Questions or comments may be addressed to Ms. Benton, Wilmington Field
Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone [phone].

Proposed Turkey Houses
Near Salemburg, Sampson County
The purpose of this project is to clear and fill an area totalling
approximately 8 acres and construct a series of turkey houses. Of this
acreage, an estimated 2.5 acres has been designated as wetlands by the COE.
Due to tornado damage several years ago (around 1984), most of the usable
timber on this site has been removed. Extensive field ditches separate the
subject area from adjacent row crop lands. These same ditches have
successfully removed most of the moisture from the site. As a result, most of
the vegetation observed was of the upland variety.
Due to the very low wetland values associated with this site, and the
absence of any significant uses, it is the recommendation of this office that
the requested certification be granted.
If additional information or clarification is required, please advise.
