The purpose of this meeting was to inspect the property for the presence of waters or wetlands subject to Department of the Army authority and to discuss a placement of fill material into the stream channel associated with the relocation of approximately 200 feet of an unnamed tributary to Black Creek. For the purposes of the Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program, Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330, published in the Federal Register on November 13, 1986, lists nationwide permits. Authorization was provided for discharges of dredged or fill material into non-tidal rivers, streams, and their lakes and impoundments, including adjacent wetlands, that are located above the headwaters and other non-tidal waters of the United States, including adjacent wetlands, that are not a part of a surface tributary system to interstate waters or navigable waters of the United States. This general authorization is valid only for work that causes the loss or substantial adverse modification of less than one acre of wetlands. Your work, as described in your letter dated July 28, 1988, is authorized by the above nationwide permit provided it is accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed conditions. Please be aware that this authorization will not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain any required State or local approval, including a State Water Quality Certification. You should contact r _ a -2- Mr. Bill Mills pf the N.C. Division of Environmental Management, telephone (919) 733-5083, concerning this required certification.

Any discharge of dredged or fill material will not occur in the proximity of a public water supply. . b. The activity will not jeopardize a threatened or endangered species as identified under the Endangered Species Act, or destroy or adversely modify the critical habitat of such species. c. The activity will not significantly disrupt the movement of those species of aquatic life indigenous to the waterbody (unless the primary purpose of the fill is to impound water). d. Any discharge of dredged or fill material will consist of suitable material free from toxic pollutants. e. Any structure or fill will be properly maintained. f. The activity will not occur in a component of the National Wild and Scenic River System nor in a river offically designated by Congress as a "study river" for possible inclusion in the system. g. If the activity may adversely affect historic properties which the National Park Service has listed on, or determined eligible for listing on, the National Register of Historic Places, or if significant historic properties are encountered before or during work, the permittee will notify the District Engineer. h. An individual state water quality certification must be obtained or waived. Conditions of certification will be considered to be special conditions of the Federal nationwide pemit. I. The following management practices will be followed to the maximum extent: (1) Discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States will be avoided or minimized through the use of other practical alternatives. (2) Discharges in spawning areas during spawning seasons will be avoided. (3) Discharges will not restrict or impede the movement of aquatic species indigenous to the waters or the passage of normal or expected high flows or cause the relocation of the waters (unless the primary purpose of the fill is to impound water). U -2- (4) If the discharge creates an impoundment of water, adverse impacts on the aquatic system caused by the accelerated passage of water and/or the restriction of its flow will be minimized. (5) Discharge in wetland areas will be avoided. (6) Heavy equipment working in wetlands will be placed on mats. (7) Discharges into breeding areas for migratory waterfowl will be avoided. (8) All temporary fills will be removed in their entirety.
