APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
Mr. Stephen Smith

Raleigh, NC 27613
Dear Mr. Smith:
You have our approval to place fill material in 0.64 acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose of
constructing a commercial development (White Oak West tract) at SR 1255 and US 70, as you
described in your application dated 14 February 1996. After reviewing your application, we have
decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Numbers 2732 and 2671. These
certifications allow you to use Nationwide Permit Numbers 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. Deed
restrictions shall be added to all lots with jurisdictional wetlands to prevent future fill. Additional
written DEM approval for stormwater management must be obtained before construction begins. This
Certification replaces a Certification issued on 26 February 1996. 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 adjudicator),
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 Environmental Management under Section 401
of the Clean Water Act. If you have any questions, please telephone John Dorney at 919-733-1786.
Sincerely,
Pr ston Howard, Jr. P.E.

Indicate 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 exceed4hfee years from the date of this notification.
ere 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.
e 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
