Action ID. 199302660 and Nationwide Permit No. 14 (Road Crossing)
Mr. Rufus McAden
3303 Clarendon Boulevard
New Bern, North Carolina 28561
Dear Mr. McAden:
Reference your application of May 19, 1993, for Department of the Army
authorization to place fill material in 0.05 acre of wetlands adjacent to the
Neuse River, at the end of North Rivershore Drive, in New Bern, Craven County,
North Carolina. The proposed project is to construct a 12-f9ot wide,
100-foot-long road, along the edge of the wetlands, to access the rear high
ground portions of your property.
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, 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 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 this nationwide permit provided it is
accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed conditions. This
nationwide permit does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain any
required State or local approval.
-2-
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.
As discussed, you should contact the following State agencies to obtain
the required State authorizations prior to starting work : Mr. John Dorney,-
North Carolina Division of Environmental Management, telephone [phone],
and Mr. Steve Benton, North Carolina Division of Coastal Management, telephone
[phone].
Thank you for your time and cooperation. Questions or comments may be
addressed to Mr. Norm Sanders of our Washington Regulatory Field office,
telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
G. Wayne Wright

a Nationwide Permit dated April 18, 1993 pursuant to Section 307 of the Coastal Zone Management Act
of 1972 as amended. Based upon our review, we have determined that the proposed activity is consistent

1, The activity described in the above referenced application qualifies to receive one of the
Nationwide Permits described in 33 CFR Part 330 with the exception of Numbers 17,
21, 24, and 34 which were found inconsistent with the North Carolina Coastal
Management Program.
2. A 401 Water Quality Certification is received, where required, from the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management.
This letter does not relieve you of the responsibility to insure that all other State authorization and/or
permit requirements are met prior to implementation of the project. Please feel free to contact me at
[phone], Ext. 263, if you have any questions or need further assistance.
Sincerely,
