WQC 401 Project #961140
You have our approval to place fill material in 0.1 acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose of
constructing a sewer line at Pisgah Yarn Sewer Line, as you described in your application dated 11
December 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. If total
wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be
required as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506 (h) (6) and (7). 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. Also this approval will expire when the
accompanying 404 or CAMA permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
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. If you have any questions, please telephone John Dorney at 919-733-1786.

RE: Request for Nationwide Permit
Pisgah Yarn Sewer Line
Town of Old Fort
McDowell County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Capin:
Please find enclosed one (1) copy of a completed and executed application entitled
"Joint Form for Nationwide Permits" for the above project. This project consists of
installation of a new 10" sewer line to replace an aging 8" sewer line, and will involve the
crossing of Mill Creek in the Town of Old Fort. The installation of the sewer line at Mill
Creek will be done by an aerial crossing due to the elevation of the existing sewer line, with
the sewer line installed on piers in the creek and with riprap stone placed on each creek bank
for stabilization after completion of the sewer line. This submittal also includes a vicinity map
and copies of the construction plans and details for this crossing.
By copy of this letter, we are transmitting copies of this submittal to the following
agencies for their review:
