Dear Mr. Cooper:
Reference your request of April 17, 1995, for Department of the Army (DA)
authorization to place three utility lines through wetlands adjacent to Howe
Creek, off of Marshland Drive, in the Landfall development, in Wilmington, New
Hanover 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,
pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, was provided for the discharge
of material for backf ill or bedding for utility lines, including outf all and
intake structures, provided there is no change in pre-construction contours.
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) and, in the coastal area, a
consistency determination from the North Carolina Division of Coastal
Management (NCDCM). You should contact Mr. John Dorney, telephone (919) 733-
1786, regarding water quality certification, and Mr. Steve Benton, telephone
[phone], regarding consistency determination. 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.
Landfall Associates also proposes the placement of fill material in
wetlands for the construction of road crossings. These crossings may be
authorized by our Nationwide Permit No. (NWP) 14. You should complete the
enclosed Pre-discharge Notification form and return one copy to this office
and 7 copies to the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management.
Please include a location map. Upon our receipt of the necessary information,
we will determine whether the proposed work can be authorized by NWP 14.

If NWP 14 does not authorize the proposal, you may submit an application for
individual permit authorization. A copy of this application is enclosed in
the orange pamphlet.
