After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Numbers 3022, 2732 and 2671. These certifications allow you to use Nationwide Permit Numbers 12, 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 remaining jurisdictional wetlands to prevent future fill. 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. 27611-7447.

The purpose of this letter is to inform you of the intent to utilize Nationw' , Permits 12,14, and 26 to cover proposed wetland impacts from the residal development of the Olive Chapel Road Subdivision (a.k.a. Hollands Park). The project is located in the southwest quadrant of the intersection of Olive Chapel (SR 1160) and Apex-Barbecue(SR1162) Roads; as shown on the enclosed vicinity map. The wetland delineation has been reviewed in the field and approved by Mr. Brandon DeRosa of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It will be necessary to impact 0.047 acres (see map) of wetlands and "waters of the US" for placement of the proposed utilities under Nationwide 12, 0.020 acres for proposed road crossings under Nationwide 14, and 0.451 acres for lots and other fill under Nationwide 26. In order to reduce impacts, disturbance within the floodplain of Beaver Creek was minimized, and impacts to the pond and its associated wetlands were avoided completely. Please call if you have questions or require further information. If you intend to perform a site visit please call and we will arrange for someone to accompany you.
