IN REPLY REFER TO December 1, 1992
Regulatory Branch
Action ID. 199300256 and Nationwide Permit No. 26 (Headwaters and Isolated
Waters)
Orange Community Housing Corporation
Attn.: Mr. Keith E. Aldridge
Chair, Board of Directors
Post Office Box 307
Carrboro, North Carolina 2727510
p NM N9d?
Dear Mr. Aldridge:
Reference.your application of October 19, 1992, for Department of the Army
authorization to discharge fill material within waters of the United States,
causing the loss of approximately 0.8 acre of waters of the United States and
wetlands adjacent to, and above the headwaters of, an unnamed tributary to
Booker Creek, for construction of residential housing, at the end of MacGregor
Drive, northeast of Chapel Hill, Orange 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 (NWP).
Authorization was provided, pursuant to section 404 of the Clean Water Act,
for discharges of dredged or fill material into 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.
Your work is authorized by this NWP provided it is accomplished in strict
accordance with the enclosed conditions. This NWP does not relieve you of the
responsibility to obtain any required State or local approval. Information
regarding issuance of a Section 401 Water Quality Certification may be
obtained through Mr. John Dorney, Division of Environmental Management, at
[phone].
This verification will be valid for 2 years from the date of this letter
unless the NWP authorization is modified, reissued, or revoked. Also, this

-2-
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 conditions of the
NWP, 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. Eric Alsmeyer, Raleigh
Regulatory Field Office, at telephone [phone], extension 23.
Sincerely,
G. Wayne Wright
