(Minor Discharges)
Mr. Otha Herring
Post Office Box 688
Wrightsville Beach,
Dear Mr. Herring:
North Carolina 28480
Reference your application of June 25, 1992, for Department of the Army
authorization to construct two road crossings, resulting in combined impacts
to 0.17 acre of wetland adjacent to the Cape Fear Rive, off River Road in
Wilmington, New Hanover County, North Carolina. You have requested that one
road, which is about 180 feet long and will impact 0.08 acre of wetland, be
authorized by our Nationwide Permit No. 14 and the other road, which is
upgrading and widening an existing road and will result in impacts to 0.09 ace
of wetland, be authorized by our Nationwide Permit No. 18.
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, pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899
and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, was provided for fills for roads
crossing waters of the United States (including wetlands and other special
aquatic sites) provided:
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 1/3 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
b?
y
-2-
e. For fills in special aquatic sites, including wetlands, the permittee
notifies the District Engineer in accordance with the "Notification" general
condition.
Authorization, pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act and
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, was provided for minor discharges of
dredged or fill material into all waters of the United States provided:
a. The discharge does not exceed 25 cubic yards;
b. The discharge will not cause the loss of more than 1/10 acre of a
special aquatic site, including wetlands. For the purposes of this nationwide
permit, the acreage limitation includes the filled area plus special aquatic
sites that are adversely affected by flooding and special aquatic sites that
are drained so that they would no longer be a water of the United States as a
result of the project;
C. If the discharge exceeds 10 cubic yards or the discharge is in a
special aquatic site, including wetlands, the permittee notifies the District
Engineer in accordance with the "Notification" general condition. For
discharges in special aquatic sites, including wetlands, the notification must
also include a delineation of affected special aquatic sites, including
wetlands' and;
d. The discharge, including all attendant features, both temporary and
permanent, is part of a single and complete project and is not placed for the
purpose of stream diversion.
Your work is authorized by this NWP provided it is accomplished in strict
accordance with the enclosed conditions and provided you receive a Section 401
water quality certification from the North Carolina Division of Environmental
Management and, in the coastal area, a consistency determination from the
North Carolina Division of coastal Management. You should contact Mr. John
Dorney, telephone [phone], regarding water quality certification, and
Mr. Steve Benton, telephone [phone], regarding consistency
determination. This NWP does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain
other required State or local approval.
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
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,
? .
-3-
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. Jeff Richter, Wilmington

DATE: August 6, 1992

SUBJECT: 401 Water Quality Certification for Otha Herring,
wetlands associated with Cape Fear River, New
Hanover County, North Carolina.
The Wildlife Resources Commission has reviewed the subject
document and professional biologists from our staff are familiar with
the habitat values of the project area. Our comments are provided in
accordance with certain provisions of the Fish and Wildlife
Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.),
the North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (G.S. 113A-1 et seq., as
amended; 1 NCAC 25), and the Coastal Area Management Act ( G.S. 113
A-100 through 113A-128).
The applicant, Otha Herring, is requesting 401 water quality
certification to build roadways across wetlands to reach high ground
property. The high ground consists of sand islands along the Cape
Fear River which are separated from the "mainland" by wetlands.
As proposed, we cannot support the destruction of wetlands for
roadbed construction. Wetlands provide valuable wildlife habitat and
water purification and filtering properties. We ask that the
wetlands be bridged or that suitable mitigation be submitted.
Thank your for opportunity to comment on this project. If we
can be of further assistance, please contact us.

Dear Mr. Herring:
Reference your application of July 23, 1993, for Department of the Army
(DA) authorization to modify your existing Nationwide Permit No. 18 to fill an
additional 228 square feet of wetlands of the Cape Fear River at your property
located on the west side of SR 1100 approximately 1.5 miles north of Snows Cut
in New Hanover County, North Carolina. The work involves the construction of
fated sidecast of spoil material. This will bring the
cumulative total of wetland fill authorized by this permit to 4068 square feet
(0.92 acres).
For the purposes of the 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 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act and Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act, was provided for discharges of dredged or fill material into
all waters of the United States provided:
a. The discharge does not exceed 25 cubic yards;
b. The discharge will not cause the loss of more than 1/10 acre of a
special aquatic site, including wetlands. For the purposes of this nationwide
permit, the acreage limitation includes the filled area plus special aquatic
sites that are adversely affected by flooding and special aquatic sites that
are drained so that they would no longer be a water of the United States as a
result of the project;
Your work is authorized by this nationwide permit provided it is
accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed conditions and provided
you receive a Section 401 water quality certification from the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM). You should contact Mr. John
Dorney, telephone [phone], regarding this water quality certification,
In the coastal area, you should obtain a consistency determination from the
North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM). Please contact Mr.
Steve Benton, telephone [phone], regarding your consistency
determination. This nationwide permit does not relieve you of the
responsibility to obtain other 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 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,

-2-
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.
