Dear Ms. Donnelly:
You have our approval to place fill material in 0.1 acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose of
sewer line construction for the Rutherford College Project, as you described in your application dated
16 December 1994. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by
General Water Quality Certification Number 2664. This certification allows you to use Nationwide
Permit Number 12 when it is issued by the Corps of Engineers.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If
you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application.
For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification. In
addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your
project.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory
hearing. You must act within 30 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing,
send a written petition which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the
Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. This certification and
its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Environmental Management under Section 401
of the Clean Water Act. If you have any questions, please telephone John Dorney at 919-733-1786.

Dear Mr. Chapin:
On behalf of the Town of Rutherford College, we would
like to request a nationwide permit for the Rutherford
college sewer Project.
As you recall from your field visit to the Town in
August, you found a small area with 1/10 acre of wetlands. At
that time you stated the Town would need to submit an
application for a nationwide permit. I have enclosed an
application along with a map showing the 22 outfall areas
that will be constructed along with the area highlighted
where the 1/10 acre of wetlands exist. This total project
will involve 82,000 LF of 8" sewer line along with 5 pump
stations.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to
contact me.
Sincerely,
?'
