Dear Mr. Ponder:
Reference your application of June 21, 1993, for Department of the Army
(DA) authorization to extend the existing Dutchman's Creek and Catawba River
Sewer Outfalls across Dutchman's Creek at three separate locations within the
City of Mt. Holly, Gaston County, North Carolina. The Dutchman's Creek
Outfall would require two additional creek crossings, one northeast of
Woodlawn Avenue and one at the Deertrack Subdivision. The Catawba River
Outfall would require one additional creek crossing east of North Lee Street.
..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.

If this Certification is unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon
