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

Watauga County is proposing to build a drop inlet/junction box in
conjunction with a proposed N.C.D.O.T. connector road between US 321/421
and SR 1102 Popular Grove Road in Watauga County when the necessary permits
are obtained. This project will require building a drop inlet/junction box
at the inlet end of an existing 60" C.M.P. which will carry Boone Creek.
Boone Creek has the DEM classification, C Tr. Due to the proposed work, we
are requesting a 404 Nationwide Permit.
I am sending a joint application form, a portion of a plan sheet with
proposed erosion control, and a marked county map.
By copy of this letter, I am requesting Ms. Stephanie Goudreau, Mt.
Region Biologist Coordinator to comment directly to you concerning the 404
Nationwide Permit request.
Also, by copy of this letter, I am requesting a 401 Certification from the
Division of Environmental Management for this project.
We would like to begin construction when the necessary permits are
obtained. If additional information is required, please let me know. Your
early review and consideration will be greatly appreciated.
