IN REPLY REFER TO September 14, 1993
Regulatory Branch
Action ID. 199303911 and Nationwide Permit No. 12 (Utility Line Backfill and
Bedding)
Mr. Glenn Berry
102 Laurelwood Drive
Morganton, North Carolina 28655
Dear Mr. Berry:
Reference your July 27, 1993 application for Department of the Army (DA)
authorization to install 2 sewer line connectors through wetlands adjacent to
Howard Creek, near Drexel, in Burke County, North Carolina. Approximately
0.31 acres of wetlands will be temporarily impacted by the project. The
purpose for the proposed work is to provide sewer access to a future
residential development located on adjacent high ground. This project has
been coordinated with the NC Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC).

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 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 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 water quality certification. 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,
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.

Dear Steve:
Enclosed please find an application and maps showing my propos-
ed project. As we discussed, Location 1 has already been com-
pleted and Location 2 will be done within the next year. I
apologize for not obtaining a permit for Location 1; however,
as I mentioned I was not aware a permit was necessary for the
crossing of a wet area with a sanitary sewer line. Please note
that I have taken the most direct route to cross both areas.
The sewer line ditches will be excavated, backfilled and the
land returned to its original contour almost within the same
day of construction.
1 do not plan to install any mobile homes within this low area
*or doany filling.
Thank you for your attention in this matter and if I can pro-
vide any additional information, please feel free to contact
me.
Sincerely,
Glenn Berry
