Dear Ms. Karoly
DENR -WATER QUALITY
WETLANDS AND STORM WATER BRANCH
Please find attached a permit application package (PCN Form) for North Carolina Division of
Water Quality 401 Certification and a check for the associated processing fee for a flight line
access road project at Seymour Johnson AFB. We have also applied for US Army Corps of
Engineers Nationwide Permit 14 for this project. The access road will cross two sections of an
unnamed tributary of Stoney Creek on the grounds of a closed Federal Prison Camp.
This project will use culverts to allow for the construction of a 28 foot wide road. The project
will impact the buffer zone according to Neuse Buffer Rules; however road crossings are
allowable according to NC DENR Division of Water Quality "Redbook" Surface Waters and
Wetland Standards.
If you have any questions on this matter please contact Mr. Donald Abrams at 919-722-5168.
Sincerely .
&1/1)
DENNIS G. GOODSON, P.E.
