Dear Mr. Williams:
Reference your application of August i0, 1993, whereby you applied for
Department of the Army (DA) authorization to install a 4-inch, subqueous
conduit with optical cable to span Gallant's Channel, Beaufort, Carteret
County, North Carolina.
On April 1, 1988, we renewed general permit No. 198100049, tcopy
enclosed) that authorizes the maintenance, repair and installation of aerial
and.subaqueous utility lines with attendant structures and the discharge of
excavated or fill materials, within construction/access corridors, associated
with utility line maintenance, repair and installation in navigable waters and
waters of the United States in the State of North Carolina.
Your proposed work is authorized if'you can comply with all general
permit conditions. Please read the enclosed permit to prevent an
unintentional violation of Federal law. As this DA general-permit does not
relieve you of the responsibility to obtain any other required approvals, you
should contact appropriate state and local agencies before beginning work.
If you have questions, contact Mr. Scott McLendon, Wilmington Field
Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
G. Wayne Wright
Chief, Regulatory Branch
