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 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. Authorization, pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, was also provided for fills for roads crossing waters of the United States (including wetlands and other special aquatic sites) provided: w. ? • -2- a. The width of the fill is limited to the minimum necessary for the actual crossing; b. The fill placed in waters of the United States is limited to a filled area of no more than one-third acre. Furthermore, no more than a total of 200 linear feet of the fill for the roadway can occur in special aquatic sites, including wetlands; C. The crossing is culverted, bridged or otherwise designed to prevent the restriction of, and to withstand, expected highflows and the movement of aquatic organisms; d. The crossing, including all attendant features, both temporary and permanent, is part of a single and complete project for crossing of a water of the United States; and e. For fills in special aquatic sites, including wetlands, the permittee notifies the District Engineer in accordance with the "Notification" general condition. Your work is authorized by these nationwide permits provided it is accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed conditions. These nationwide permits do 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 (919) 733-1786 regarding a 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 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. *..k, ,* 4 -3- Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Eric Alsmeyer, Raleigh Regulatory Field Office, at telephone (919) 876-8441, extension 23.

Mr. Karl Shaffer received the project plans on October 13, 1992 and has tried numerous times to contact you concerning the project. With most of these attempted contacts, a message was left for a return call. No response has been received from your office. Mr. Shaffer performed a site visit on November 18, 1992. The wetlands in question have significant value, especially in light of the proposed plans for the site and especially with respect to water storage and pollutant removal functions of the wetlands. In addition, there are potentially several areas of jurisdictional wetlands on the north side of the property which have not been delineated, but which have proposals for building lots. These are questions that could have been answered at the time of the site visit, but Mr. Shaffer, as mentioned before, did not receive any response from your office. In order to continue the review of this application, you should contact Mr. Shaffer at (919) 571-4700. The additional information needed includes: 1. An Army Corps of Engineers Certified Wetlands Map showing the entire extent of jurisdictional wetlands on the site. 2. Plans for stormwater routing over the entire tract. 3. Plans to minimize the wetlands impacts on the tract. 3800 Barrett Drive, Suite 101 • Raleigh, N.C. 27609 Telephone (919) 571-4700 • FAX Number (919) 571-4718 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer N Mr. Randy Miller November 20, 1992 Page -2- If this office has not been contacted by December 18, 1992, it will make recommendation for denial of the project.

First, I would like to clarify the misunderstanding that occurred between you and our office. It appears that in trying to contact myself, you were reaching the number of Barnes Builders. This is the reason why our office did not respond to your attempts to contact us. Since we were not actually reached, we were not aware of your comments on this project. As stated in our telephone conversation, Thompson and Associates logs in and records all phone messages and does return all phone calls promptly regarding projects we are working on. We pride ourselves on our professionalism and respectfully request that a copy of this letter be placed in the file with the letter from your office dated November 20, 1992. Lastly, I will be forwarding to you at a later time, copies of the proposed improvements to be placed in the areas of the project you have raised comments over. Thank you for your time in this matter. to working with you on this project. Sin erely, ?j Randy L. Miller. Thompson & Associates, P.A.
