covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 2732. This certification allows you to use
Nationwide Permit Number 14 when it is issued by the Corps of Engineers. This action supplements a
Certification under Nationwide Permit 26 issued on 13 January 1995.
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 60 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

Dear John:

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES
"P kW1u
In November, 1994, Uwharrie Environmental, Inc. submitted a Pre-discharge Notification (PDN)
request for impacts associated with proposed expansion of the existing Montgomery County landfill.
The site is located southwest of the town of Troy bordering SR 1137 (Figure 1). Approximately 0.85
acre of headwater wetland was affected by expansion. The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers provided
authorization for this action under Nationwide Permit #26 on January 13, 1995 (see attached permit;
Action ID No. 199500806)). In addition, 401 Water Quality Certification was approved for the
project on January 25, 1995 (see attached Certification; DEM #941045). Environmental Services,
Inc. (ESI) performed the initial evaluation of the site in 1992 and 1993, and ESI assisted with
preparation of the initial PDN application.
As part of the implementation phase of the project, it has been determined that access to borrow areas
in existing portions of the landfill site south of SR 1137 will be required.. A proposed access road
to the borrow site will cross a small, intermittent tributary approximately 4 feet in width (Figure 2).
This system is a bank-to-bank headwater tributary with no adjacent wetlands. A culvert will be
placed in the channel to allow for continued, intermittent flow. Approximately 0.01 acre of surface
waters may be affected by access road construction. Project impacts associated with previously
permitted wetland encroachment, in addition to the current requested roadway, total 0.86 acre.
Therefore, we request that the existing 401 Water Quality Certification for the landfill project be
modified to accommodate this additional impact. A revised PDN application and accompanying
information is being submitted for your review. By copy of this letter and PDN application, we are
requesting review by COE for continued compliance under Nationwide Permit #26 (we realize there
is no notification required to COE for less than 1 acre under Nationwide Permit #26, however, a
courtesy copy is being provided for review).

As part of our initial evaluation for this project, the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service was contacted for
comment regarding impacts to federal protected endangered or threatened species. The Service
agreed that no impacts were anticipated. In addition, the N.C. Natural Heritage Program indicated
that the proposed project would not likely cause adverse impacts to any state parks, state recreation
or scenic areas, or state natural or historic preserves. The project was coordinated with the N.C.
State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and no impacts to cultural resources were found to exist.
Based on these initial evaluations, we do not anticipate impacts to protected species, state priority
areas, or cultural resources as a result of proposed access road improvements.
Review of this revised PDN application and accompanying information is appreciated. If we can
provide additional information to assist with your evaluation of the project, please do not hesitate to
call me.

Dear Mr. Hodges:
Please reference your application dated October 31, 1994, for Department
of the Army (DA) authorization to discharge fill material into 0.85 acre of
jurisdictional wetlands located above the headwaters of Rocky Creek. The site
is located off State Road 1137, near Troy, Montgomery County, North Carolina.
For the purposes of the Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program, Title 33,
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 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 work 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 [phone], 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
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. Jeff Richter, Wilmington
Field Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone [phone].
