BOX 1890 WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA 28402-1890 IN REPLY REFER TO April 28, 1993 Regulatory Branch Action ID. 199301667 and Nationwide Permit Numbers 12 (Utility Line Backfill and Bedding) and 26 (Headwaters and Isolated Waters) Mr. Kevin Martin Soil and Environmental Consultants, Inc. 3818 Bland Road Raleigh, North Carolina 27609 Dear Mr. Martin: Reference your application of March 18, 1993, on behalf of Capital Associates, and your subsequent letter of March 30, 1993, for Department of the Army authorization to discharge fill material within waters of the United States, impacting waters and wetlands, adjacent to, and above the headwaters of, an unnamed tributary to Stirrup Iron Creek. The discharge is for the proposed construction, including backfill and bedding, and riprap for pipe protection, of the Concourse Sewer Line, west of I-40, north of Morrisville, Wake County, North Carolina. Approximately 1,800 square feet (less than 0.1 acre) of waters would be permanently impacted by the riprap. 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 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. Authorization, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, was also 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. =..f 1 .. -2- Your work is authorized by these nationwide permits provided it _JS accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed conditions. These nationwide permits do not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain any required State or local approval. You should contact Mr. John Dorney of the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management at (919) 733-1786 regarding a State Water Quality Certification. 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. Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Eric Alsmeyer, Raleigh Regulatory Field office, at telephone (919) 876-8441, extension 23. Sincerely, G.

We would still like for you to process the Nationwide 12 as originally submitted but request that you authorized the additional impacts under Nationwide 26 rather than 18. We are requesting this change because we have discovered the impacts will exceed 25yd3 but the site is above headwaters. Impacts in addition to those to be covered by Nationwide 12 are as follows: (Station locations are shown on blueprints originally submitted) (1) Station 44 + 85 = 1000ft2 (2) Station 10' x 20' = 200ft2 (3) Station 25 + 08 (Manhole 14) = 600ft2 Impacts 1, 2, and 3 should now be covered by Nationwide 26. Please disregard our previous request for Nationwide 18 coverage. Call if you have questions or require further information. Sincerely, Kevin C.

Box 166 Morrisville N.C., 27560 Mr. Kevin Martin Soil and Environmental Consultants, Inc. 3818 Bland Road Raleigh, North Carolina 27609 In Re: Concourse Sewer Interceptor Dear Kevin, 919-469-1426 This is to advise you that the Town of Morrisville will require that rip-rap fill be placed in locations having approximate stations of 44+85 and 47+60 on the attached sheets, as prepared by Withers & Ravenel. The fill is required to be placed to raise the bed of the draws above the top of the pipe to prevent the pipe from becoming a structural feature creating a dam of water borne debris thereby adversely effecting the integrity of the main itself. A third area adjacent to the west side of Airport Boulevard will be required to be stabilized rip-rap to prevent erosion of the disturbed area within the existing swale. If you need further explanation, please advise. Sincerely, Jame R. Butler, PE Engineer for Town cc: Loftee Smith, PE Withers and Ravenel n? ? ?A????
