November 1, 1993
IN REPLY REFER TO
Regulatory Branch
R?
Action ID. 199303006 Nationwide Permit No. 26 (Headwaters and Isolated Waters)
Mr. Ephraigm Smith
Route 2, Box 398
Greenville, North Carolina 27858
Dear Mr. Smith:
Please reference your meeting on June 16, 1993, with Mrs. Laura Fogo of my
staff on your property located off S.R. 1753, approximately one mile north of
the community of Chicod, adjacent Indian Well Swamp, in Pitt County, North
Carolina. The purpose of this meeting was to inspect 2 acres of the total
50-acre site for waters and wetlands subject to Department of the Army
permitting authority for your proposed hog operation.
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
provided:
a. the discharge does not cause the loss of more than 10 acres of waters
of the United States;
b. the permittee notifies the District Engineer if the discharge would
cause the loss of waters of the United States greater than one acre in
accordance with the "Notification" general condition. For discharges in
special aquatic sites, including wetlands, the notification must also include
a delineation of affected specific aquatic sites, including wetlands; and
c. the discharge, including all attendant features, both temporary and
permanent, is part of a single and complete project.
You propose to place fill material on approximately 18,295 square feet
(0.42 acre) of wetlands located above headwaters for the purpose of
constructing a hog lagoon. Your work is authorized by this NWP provided it is
accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed conditions. This
NWP does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain any 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,
j
NOV - 91993

-2-
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
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.
As discussed, you should contact the following State agency to obtain the
required State authorizations prior to starting work: Mr. John Dorney, North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management, telephone [phone].
Thank you for your time and cooperation. If you have any questions,
please contact Mr. Henry Wicker, at the Washington Regulatory Field Office,
telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
G. Wayne Wright
