Dear Mr. Cliff: /
On March 31, 1987, Mr. Ken.Joly of my staff met with Mr. Alex
Meeks and you concerning your proposed construction of an earthen
dAm and excavation of small ponds in a wetland drain (unnamed) off
the Northeast Cape Fear River on.Shaw Highway (S.R. 1520) near
Rocky Point, Pender County, North Carolina.
The meeting revealed that you propose to construct an earthen
dam across the subject stream, creating an approximately 0.75-acre
pond. The worksite is located above the headwaters of the project
creek. You also plan to excavate areas within the wetlands along
the creek, transportating all excavated materials to high ground
fields on your property.
Your proposed excavation of small ponds within the wetlands,
transporting all excavated materials to high ground, will not
require Department of the Army permit authorization. Please be
reminded that no excavated or fill material can be placed in these
wetlands, at any time, without prior Federal permit approval.
In regards to your proposed dam construction, 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, strms, and their lakes and
impoundments, including adjacent wet-,ands, that are located above
the headwaters and other non-tidal ters of the United States,
including adjacent wetlands, that are not a part of a surface
tributary system to interstate water8 or navigable waters of the
United States.

of those species of aquatic life indigenous to the waterbody
(unless the primary purpose of_the fill is to impound water).
C. Any discharge of dredged or fill material will consist of
suitable material free from toxic pollutantso
