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,

Reference your application dated January 24A 1997, for Department of the
Army authorization to install approximately 41730 linear feet of 8-inch and
10-inch sanitary sewer line from the Meadow Branch_:tnterceptor south along
Spring Branch and crossing SR 1758 to Pearl Street, in Wingate ?nio?ounty,
North Carolina. The project will require several crossings of 9p"ring Branch
and unnamed tributaries to Spring Branch. The purpose for the project is to
relieve existing sewer problems inside the Town limits. As a result of the
project, less than one-tenth of an acre of stream channel and wetlands will be
impacted.
On January 1, 1994, we renewed general permit No. 198100049, (copy
enclosed) that authorizes the maintenance, repair and installation of aerial
and subaqueous utility lines with attendant structures and the discharge of
excavated or fill materials, within construction/access corridors, associated
with utility line maintenance, repair and installation in navigable waters and
waters of the United States in the State of North Carolina.
Your proposed work is authorized if you can comply with all permit
conditions. Please read the enclosed permit to prevent an unintentional
violation of Federal law. As this Department of the Army general permit does
not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain any other required approvals,
you should contact appropriate State and local agencies before beginning work.
If you have questions, please contact Mr. Steve Chapin of the Asheville
Regulatory Field Office at [phone].
Sincerely,

Robert W. Johnson I /
Office Manager
