APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
Mr. James D. Sawyer
233 -H Western Blvd.
Jacksonville, NC 28546
Dear Mr. Sawyer:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to
fill in 0.032 acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose of road construction at Indian Beach, as
you described in your application dated November 21, 1997. After reviewing your application,
we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3103.
This certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 14 when it is issued by the Corps
of Engineers. 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.
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.
1. Deed notices, conservation easements or similar mechanisms shall be placed in all lots with
remaining jurisdictional wetlands and waters to restrict future wetland and/or water impact. These
mechanisms shall be put in place within 30 days of the date of this letter or the issuance of the 404
Permit (whichever is later).
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 Dorney at 919- 733 -1786.
