Dear Mr. Baker:

Reference your February 24, 1988, meeting with Mr. Jeff Richter of my
staff at your property adjacent a tributary of Corapeake Swamp, near Jones'
Millpond, off S.R. 1332, in Corapeake, Gates County, North Carolina.
During this meeting you informed Mr. Richter of your plans to place fill
material to facilitate construction of a house and driveway. Mr. Richter
determined that most of the area which you planned to fill is wetlands subject
to our regulatory jurisdiction pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.
But, from review of USGS maps he has determined that the average annual flow
in the tributary at the crossing of S.R. 1332 is less than five cubic feet per
second; and therefore, your proposed work can be authorized by nationwide
permit.
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.
Your work is authorized by nationwide permit provided it is accomplished
in strict accordance with the enclosed conditions. Please be aware that this
authorization does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain any
required State or local approval.
If you have questions, please contact Mr. Richter, Regulatory Branch,
telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
Charles W. Hollis
Chief, Regulatory Branch
