Box 130 Murphy, NC 28906 Dear Ms. Moore: You have our approval to place fill material in wetlands or waters for the purpose of constructing sewer lines and pump stations at Hiwassee River Trunk Sewer/Ice Plant Pump Station, as you described in your application dated 7 November 1996. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3022. 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 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. This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act.

A check in the amount of $500.00 is included. This project involves the replacement of approximately 6,000 L. F. of 8-inch gravity sewer line and one (1) sewer pump station. The existing 8-inch sewer line will be replaced with 3735± L. F. 18-inch, 1290± L. F. 12-inch, 405± L. F. 10-inch and 600± L. F. 8-inch sewer line. This portion of the Town of Murphy sanitary sewer system has been plagued with problems during in recent years resulting from an increase in flow from development within the service area and ground and surface water infiltration due to deteriorating lines. Several manholes have repeatedly overflowed causing concerns for public health and the environment, as well as unpleasant odors. The project will begin at the Number One Pump Station located near the confluence of the Valley and Hiwassee Rivers and end near the U. S. Forest Service offices at 201 Woodland Drive. A major portion of this project will located on Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) controlled property. Due to existing topographical conditions and the grade of the existing sewer line, the proposed sewer must be located on the down stream side of the existing line. As with the existing line, this will place the majority of the proposed sewer line below the top of gate (1526.50') and the maximum surface contour (MSC - 1532.00') for Lake Hiwassee. Pipe material for the proposed sewer line will be PVC SDR-35 pipe except for those sections which will have less than 3'-0" of cover. Ductile iron pipe will be used in these sections. All manholes will be precast concrete with water tight lids and top elevations of 1527.50' (one (1) foot above Lake Hiwasse top of gate elevation). Vented manholes will be installed not less than one thousand feet apart, with vent elevations of 1533.00' (one (1) foot above the MSC for Lake Hiwassee).

It is vital to the Town of Murphy's economic development that this project begin as soon as possible. Due to the relationship between the proposed sewer line location and the water elevation of Lake Hiwassee, there is a five to six month window (November - April) during which this project may be constructed. We propose to begin construction no later than January 1, 1997 and complete those portions below the normal high water elevation by April 30, 1997.
