APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
Mr. Larry Sessons
P.O. Box 5636
Jacksonville, NC 28540
Dear Mr. Sessons and Mr. Dickie:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill
material in a total of 0.027 acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose of constructing a home at Lots 70 & 71 in
Hickory Bluffs subdivision near Swansboro, as you described in your application dated 18 March 1997. After
reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification
Number 3106. This certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 18 when it is issued by the
Corps of Engineers.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application except as
modified below. If you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new
application. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation
may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to be valid, you must
follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional conditions listed below. A
conservation easement or deed restriction shall be added to the remaining wetlands on this lot to prevent future
fill. In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project
including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Coastal Stormwater, Non-Discharge and Water
Supply Watershed regulations. This approval will expire when the accompanying 404 or CAMA permit expires
unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
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. This certification and its conditions are final and
binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water
Act. If you have any questions, please telephone John Dorey at 919-733-1786.
