Dear Mr. Campbell:
RECEIVED

Reference your meeting on June 29, 1988, with Mr. David
Lekson, of my staff, and Mr. Jim Hicks, Street Department, at the
end of Stafford Annex Road, adjacent to an unnamed tributary to
Smith Creek, in Kernersville, Forsyth County, North Carolina. The
purpose of this meeting was to discuss the construction of an
access road, and to inspect the site for wetlands subject to
Department of the Army permitting authority.
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.
The meeting revealed that you propose to construct an access
road through wetlands approximately 350 feet long by 10 feet wide.
This road will be constructed along an existing sewerline to
facilitate maintenance of the sewerline and right-of-way. This
work, involving less than an acre of wetlands located above the
headwaters of the aforementioned tributary to Smith Creek, is
authorized by nationwide permit provided it is accomplished in
strict accordance with the enclosed conditions. As discussed, you
should contact Mr. William Mills, N.C. Division of Environmental

-2-
Management, [phone], to obtain the necessary Section 401,
Water Quality Certification. Please be aware that this
authorization does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain
any other required State or local approval.
If you have questions, please contact Mr. Lekson, Raleigh
Field Office, telephone [phone].
Sincerely,
Charles W. Hollis
