Dear Mr. Norris:

Columbus County
DWQ Project # 960664
You have our approval to place fill material in wetlands or waters for the purpose of constructing fish
ponds at SR 1324 and Hwy 410, as you described in your application dated 10 July 1996. 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 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. 276 1 1-7447. 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. If you have any questions, please telephone John Dorney at 919-733-1786.
Sincerely,
1
