FILE COPY
Dear Mr. Martin:
You have our approval to place fill material in less than 0.267 acres of wetlands or waters for the
purpose of residential fill at Lochmere Village (Phase II) near Piney Plains, North Carolina, as you
described in your application dated 6 February 1995. After reviewing your application, we have
decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 2671. This certification
allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 26 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 Domey at 919-733-1786.
Sincerely,
.

The purpose of this letter is to request Nationwide Permit 26 and Section 401
Water Quality Certification for the project to be known as Lochmere Village II.
S&EC has been authorized as the wetland agent for this phase (phase II only) of
the entire project. The project is located near Piney Plains, NC (Wake County)
and is bounded by N.C. S.R. 1423 (Piney Plains Rd.) to the east; as shown on the
enclosed plans and vicinity map.
Wetland impacts will be required for the placement of residential building lots
and municipal sewer. Wetlands on the property total 11663.61 sq. ft. (0.267
acres). Impacts to wetlands will total less than 0.267 acres.
The small amount of impacts, less than 0.33 acres, make it presumably not
necessary to notify N.C. Dept. of Cultural Resources, National Marine Fisheries,
or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. However, it is customary for S&EC to notify
the Corps and DEM of our intent to utilize a Nationwide Permit as a
professional courtesy.
A complete copy of this entire application package has been sent to David
Franklin (Wilmington Corps).
Sincerely,

Indic a Which of the following apply:
• There are wetlands on the above described property which we strongly suggest should be delineated and
surveyed. The surveyed wetland lines must be verified by our staff before the Corps will make a final
jurisdictional determination on your property.
' Because of the size of your property and our present workload, our identification and delineation of your
wetlands cannot be accomplished in a timely manner. You may wish to employ a consultant to obtain a
more timely delineation of the wetlands. Once your consultant has flagged a wetland line on the property,
Corps staff will review it, and, if it is accurate, we strongly recommend that you have the line surveyed for
final approval by the Corps. The Corps will not make a final jurisdictional determination on your property
without an approved survey.
The wetlands on your lot have been delineated, and the limits of Corps jurisdiction have been explained
to you. Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied
upon for a period not to exceed t years from the date of this notification.
• There are no wetlands present on the above described property which are subject to the permit
requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in the law
or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed three years
from the date of this notification.
• The project is located in one of the 20 Coastal Counties. You should contact the nearest State Office of
Coastal Management to determine their requirements.
Placement of dredged or fill material in wetlands on this property without a Department of the Army
permit is in most cases a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1311). A permit is
not required for work on the property restricted entirely to existing high ground. If you have any
questions regarding the Corps of Engineers regulatory program, please contact
at
