Dear Mr. Hipp:
Reference your June 16, 1993 application, submitted on your behalf by
McGill Associates, for Department of the Army (DA) authorization to install a
16-inch diameter Ductile Iron waterline with concrete encasement under Lower
Creek, next to SR 1711, approximately 500 feet from NC 18, near Lenoir, in
Ca we&I Cbunty, North Carolina. The purpose for the project is to expand and
improve water service to Lenoir water customers. No wetlands will be impacted
by the work. This project has been coordinated with the NC Wildlife Resources
Commission (WRC).
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
FederalRegister on November 22,1991, lists nationwide permits (NWP).
Authorization, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, was provided
-for the discharge of material for Backfill or bedding for utility lines,
including outfall and intake structures, provided there is no change in
pre-construction contours. -
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 (NCDEM). You should contact Mr. John Dorney, telephone (919)
733-1786, regarding water quality certification. 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 nationwide 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, 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

-2-
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. Steve Chapin, Asheville

G. Wayne Wright
