BOX 1890 WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA 28402-1890 September 21, 1994 Regulatory Branch Action ID No. 199400311 and Nationwide Permit No. 26 (Headwaters and Isolated waters) Mr. Horace Willson P P/? V Martin Marietta Aggregates Post Office Box 30013 Raleigh, North Carolina 27622-0013 W ?( Dear Mr. Willson: Reference is made to my letter to you dated December 9, 1993. This letter provided confirmation of authorization for 0.79 acre of fill impacts to the jurisdictional waters of an unnamed / above-headwaters tributary of Wolf Island Creek. The proposed impacts were in association with the planning for future stone quarry pit expansion of the Reidsville Quarry located off N.C. 87, west of Reidsville, Rockingham County, North Carolina. Reference is also made to your written request of September 2, 1994, which included a modified plan for the aforementioned project. In response to that request, on June 28, 1994, Mr. John Thomas of the Raleigh Regulatory Field office conducted an inspection to review the property for the presence of waters and wetlands subject to Department of the Army permitting authority with reference to your modified plans. The site inspection of June 28, 1994, and review of the modified site plan for the proposed Reidsville Quarry expansions revealed a complete change in the location and acreage of proposed impacts to jurisdictional wetlands and waters located above the headwaters of the referenced, unnamed tributary of Wolf Island Creek. These impacts associated with the modified plan are located up-stream of the original plan and would result in a total of 0.67 acre (instead of 0.79 acre) of impacts to water and wetlands on this stream. For the purposes of the Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program, Title 33, Code of Federal Regulations (CPR), Part 330.6, published in the Federal Register on November 22, 1991, lists nationwide permits. Authorization was provided, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, for discharges of dredged or fill material into headwaters and isolated waters. Your proposed impacts to 0.67 acre of waters of the United States is authorized by this nationwide permit provided it is accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed conditions and provided you receive a Section 401 water quality certification from the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM.) You should contact Mr. John Dorney, telephone (919) 733- 1786, regarding water quality certification. This nationwide permit does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain other required State or local approval. This verification will be valid for two years from the date of this letter unless the nationwide authorization is modified, reissued or revoked. This verification will remain valid for the two years if, during that period, the nationwide permit authorization is reissued without modification or the activity complies with any subsequent modification. If during the two years, the nationwide permit authorization expires or is suspended or revoked, or is -2- modified, such that the activity would no longer comply with the terms and conditions of the nationwide permit, activities which have commenced or are under contract to commence, in reliance upon the nationwide permit, will remain authorized. This is provided the activity is completed within twelve months of the date of the nationwide permit's expiration, modification or revocation. Questions or comments may be addressed to Mr. Thomas, Raleigh Regulatory Field Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone (919) 876-8441.
