Subject: Proposed fill in Wetlands or Waters
Pond constuction
Duplin County
DEM Project # 93590
Upon review of your request for 401 Water Quality Certification
to place fill material in 1.5 acres of wetlands or waters which are
tributary to Doctors Creek for pond construction located at SR 1158 in
Duplin County as described in your submittal dated 7 July 1993, we
have determined that the proposed fill can be covered by General Water
Quality Certification No. 2671 issued January 21, 1992. A copy of the

for an NPDES permit. This letter replaces a concurrence letter issued
19 August 1993.
If this Certification is unacceptable to you, you have the right
to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30)
days following receipt of this Certification. This request must be in
the form of a written petition conforming to Chapter 150B of the North

Enclosed is your copy of a wetland determination for tract 3 7 r on which you indicated
your intent to clear some land. The attached map has been delineated to show the area(s) in
question. Each area to be cleared has been identified with a symbol to denote its classification.
Below is an explanation of the various symbols that may pertain to your map.
VV - Wetland - Area is a wetland and should not be cleared for any reason if you
w Ir o remain eligible for USDA programs, receive SCS technical assistance, or avoid
violating US Army Corp of Engineers' and Division of Environmental Management
(DEM) regulations. Any exceptions to this statement should be in writing from the Soil
Conservation Service prior to clearing land.
NW- Non wetland - Area is non wetland and can be cleared and utilized without
violating Farm Bill. This determination of non wetland is only for Fann Bill purposes.
You may still need US Army Corp of Engineers and Division of Environmental
Management determinatioc)ts before clearing. The Soil Conservation Service does not
have the authority to make wetland detenninations for these other two agencies.
NW- Non wetland Area has hydric soils but for Fann Bill purposes only, area is
non wetland due to hydrology modification prior to 12/23/85. You still need to check
Nvith the US Anriy Corp of Engineers or the NC DEM to determine if additional pennits
are necessary prior to clearing.
CW - Converted Wetland after 11/28/90 - Area was cleared after 11/28/90 and is
a converted wetland. Clearing constitutes a violation of the 1990 Fann Bill. In order to
regain eligibility for USDA programs, area must be restored. Consult with the SCS
about an approved restoration plan before beginning any restoration.
If you need to clear the delineated wetlands for roads, buildings, hog lagoons or similar
activities, you can request a converted wetland for non agricultural use (CWNA) exemption.
If granted, this exemption would be for Farm Bill purposes only; therefore, you would still
need to contact the Army Corp of Engineers and the Division of Environmental Management.
To request a CWNA exemption, you should complete a request form at the SCS office. It will
take approximately 40 days to get this exemption approved once you give this office the
request. Do not start any clearing of wetland prior to receiving written notification from
this office that your CWNA request has been approved. Also you should not start clearing
until you have received approval from the Army Corp and DEM. All three permits must be
received and approved prior to clearing any wetlands.
I have tried to make this determination as fairly as possible. However if you believe this
determination is incorrect, you have the right to appeal. To appeal send me a brief letter
explaining why you believe this determination is incorrect. Send the letter to the address on
the letterhead. This letter should be received within 15 days of your receipt of this letter.

Ms. Clara W. Highsmith

Willard, North Carolina 28478
Dear Ms. Highsmith:
Reference your application of July 7, 1993, for Department of the Army
(DA) authorization to place fill material impacting 1.5 acres of wetlands
above the headwaters of Doctors Creek to construct catfish ponds on your
property located off SR 1158 approximately 495 feet from NC Highway 41 near
Harrells, Duplin County, North Carolina.
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 was provided, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act,
for discharges of dredged or fill material into headwaters and isolated
waters.
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 this 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 NWP 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 NWP,
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.
