Dear Mr. Cooke:
Upon review of your request for Water Quality
Certification to place fill material in wetland areas
tributary to Mill Creek, we have determined that the
proposed fill can be covered by General Water Quality
Certification No. 2176 issued November 4, 1987. A copy of
the General Certification is attached. This Certification
may be used in qualifying for coverage under Corps of
Engineers' Nationwide Permit No. 26.
If you have any questions, please contact Bill Mills at
919/733-5083.
Sincerely,

Re: Starland Farms - Section 401
Water Quality Certification
Our File No. 8.312.002
Dear Mr. Mills:
R

Oil:
We represent General Investment and Development Company
(GID). GID is developing the Starland Farms Horse Ranch
north of North Carolina Route #2, near Pinehurst in Moore
County, North Carolina. The project includes two wetland
areas as depicted on the attached Exhibit A. The
development design contemplates two road crossings in the
wetlands. As a consequence, GID is required to comply with
Sections 401 and 404 of the Clean Water Act.
The wetlands in issue are located above headwaters and
not part of a surface tributary system leading to
inter-state or navigable waters of the United States (i.e.,
isolated waters). The current stream crossings plans show
that less than one (1) acre of wetlands will be lost or
substantially modified by the dredge and fill activities.
Therefore, GID intends to proceed under nationwide permit
number 26, as codified in 33 C.F.R. §330.5(a)(26), to
satisfy Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Although this
particular permit does not require predischarge notification
where less than one (1) acre is involved, GID has consulted
with the Army Corps of Engineers and intends to proceed
under their guidance. Both the Corps and the regulations
inform us that as a specific condition to compliance with
nationwide permit 26, state Water Quality Certification
under Section 401 must be obtained or waived. 33 C.F.R.
§330.5 (a) (26) (b) (11) .
GID's proposed activities appear to fall under the
general water quality certification issued by your
department on November 5, 1987. (Exhibit B) This
certification relates directly to section 26 nationwide
permits under section 404 and, therefore, would appear to
R
Mr. M. C. Mills, P.E.
March 18, 1988
Page 2,
apply if section 26 applies. our concern is the exclusion
in the general certification of public water supplies.
The attached locator map, Exhibit C, shows that in the
northeast corner of the property, where the wetland areas
are located, there is a series of small lakes leading to a
lake which was formerly designated as a town reservoir. GID
representatives have spoken with Mr. Richard Lazenby,
Director of Public Works for the Town of Southern Pines.
Mr. Lazenby has advised that this lake is not used for
a water supply and that the old water plant has been
disassembled. Although Mr. Lazenby is not sure whether the
water body retains a WS (formerly A-1) designation, he
appears certain that it is not intended for use as a public
water supply in the future. For these reasons we believe
the general certification applies. In any event, the
proposed dredge and fill activities will not substantially
affect the designated reservoir.
The photograph attached as Exhibit D, shows how the
former water supply lake relates to the project. The first
of the proposed wetland crossings is located to the far west
of the small lake appearing in the center of the photo.
This lake is bounded on the east by a dam structure followed
by a second lake with yet another dam structure on its
easterly end. The old reservoir follows to the far east of
these obstacles running off the edge of the photograph. The
two filtration ponds and dams between the proposed crossing
and reservoir, combined with the limited discharge involved
as evidenced by attached Engineering Exhibits E and F, we
believe, adequately protects the reservoir from the proposed
dredge and fill activities. The second stream crossing is
in a wetland area with little or no relation to the
reservoir and, we believe, falls clearly with the general
certification.
Based on the foregoing, we request a determination that
the general certification is applicable to this project.
Alternatively, we request that certification be considered
and issued on the merits of the project.
We thank you for your cooperation and assistance and
look forward to working on this project with you. If you
have any questions, please call me.
Sincerely,
ohn C. Cooke

Exhibit B
GENERAL CERTIFICATION
THIS GENERAL CERTIFICATION is issued in conformity with
the requirements of Section 401, Public Laws 92-500 and
95-217 of the United States and subject to the North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management Regulations in
15NCAC2H, Section .0500 for the discharge of fill material
to navigable waters or adjacent wetlands areas which are
above the headwaters or to wetland areas that are.not a part
of the surface tributary system to interstate waters or
navigable waters of the United States (i.e. isolated
wetlands) as 'described in 33 CFR 330.5(a)(26) of the Corps
of Engineers' regulations. The category of activities shall
include any fill activity in these'headwaters and isolated
wetlands areas where the activity does not result in the
loss or substantial modification of 10 acres or more of
waters of the United States, including wetlands.
The State of North Carolina certifies that the
specified category of activity will not violate Sections
301, 302, 303, 306 and 307 of the Public Laws 92-500 and
95-217 if conducted in accordance with the conditions
hereinafter set forth.
Conditions of Certification:
1. Proposed fill or substantial modification of 1 to
10 acres of such waters,including wetlands,
requires a written concurrence from the Division
of Environmental Management. Activities involving
less than one acre do not require written
concurrence.
2. Excluded from this General Certification are
discharges of fill in waters classified WS I, II,
or III (public water supplies) and SA (shellfish
waters). This exclusion also applies to fill in
wetlands adjacent to these waters. Discharge
proposed fdr-these waters;or wetlands must be
-= considered for certification on a case-by-case
---
_ basis

-.. 2 -
3.- That the discharge will consist of suitable
material free from toxic.pollutants in other than
trace quantities;
4. That established erosion control practices are
_ utilized to prevent excessive increases in
turbidity and settleable solids concentrations in
the water body as a result of the discharge;
5. That the.discharge of fill material shall be in
accordance with the conditions and management
practices specified by the Corps of Engineers in
.33 CFR-330:5 and 330.6 for.:nationwide permit
number 26. Non-compliance with or violation of the conditions
herein set forth by a specific fill project shall result in
revocation of this Certification for the project.
The Director of the North.Carglina-Division of
Environmental Management.may require submission of a formal
application for certification for any project in this
category of activity, if it-is determined that the project
is likely to have-a significant adverse effect upon water--
quality or degrade the waters so that existing uses are
precluded.
Public Hearings may be held fotr specific applications
or group of applications prior to Certification if deemed in
the public's best interest by--the Director of the-North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management.
