Dear Mr. Herbert:
.icp Fay
You have our approval to place fill material in 1.193 acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose
of constructing private residences, roads and utility lines at Cardinal Grove, as you described in your
application dated 8 August 1995. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is
covered by General Water Quality Certification Numbers 2664, 2732 and 2671. These certifications
allow you to use Nationwide Permit Numbers 12, 14 and 26 when they are 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- Anti-
seep collars shall be located at no more than 150 foot intervals as the sewer line passes through
wetlands. Deed restrictions shall be added to the deed which includes the wetlands and streams in the
dedicated open space to prevent future fill. 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
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.

of the Clean Water Act. If you have any questions, please telephone John Domey at 919-733-1786.
Sincere,
P ston Howard, J . P.

6512 Falls of the Neuse Rd, Suite 105
Raleigh, NC 27615-6846
The purpose of this letter is to request Nationwide Permits 12,14 and 26, and a
Section 401 Water Quality Certification for the project known as Cardinal Grove.
The project, owned by Pulte Homes Corp. Inc., is located near Raleigh, NC
(Wake County). The site is east of Kyle Road (NCSR 2231) and south of US
HWY 401 as shown on the enclosed plans, and Raleigh East, N.C., USGS Topo
Quad vicinity map.
The wetland delineation has been approved by Mr. Alsmeyer of the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, a copy of the signed delineation map is available upon
request.
Fill in wetlands will be required to construct private residences, roads and utility
lines as part of the infrastructure of a residential development.
It will be necessary to impact 1.193 acres (see map) of jurisdictional wetlands
above headwaters for placement of some of the proposed roadways and utility
lines. A total of 0.073 acres will be impacted for the placement of lots under
Nationwide 26. A total of 0.04 acres (see map) will be filled for road crossings
under Nationwide Permit 14. The road crossing is perpendicular to wetland
alignments, in order to minimize impacts. Utility line construction will impact
1.08 acres of wetlands. Utility construction easements are 40 foot wide, with a
permanent maintained easement 20 foot wide.
To expedite the permitting process the following individuals/ agencies have
been provided with a complete copy of this entire application package: U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service, National Marine Fisheries, N.C. Cultural Resources, Danny
Smith (DEM) and Wilmington Corps (Chief of Regulatory Branch).
