release Withdrawals must be reduced by 10 percent when the minimum release
changes from Tier 1 to Tier 2, and by another 10 percent when the release changes
from Tier 2 to Tier 3 The amount of reduction in withdrawal is determined as a
percentage of the average daily withdrawal for the 60 days immediately preceding
the reduction, and must be achieved within two weeks (15A NCAC 2K

I am enclosing a copy of a cost certification form and an explanation of the final
processing fee calculation An additional fee will be required when the engineer's
certification is submitted if the construction cost exceeds $10,001 00 In any event, the
cost certification must be completed and returned with the engineer's certification before
an approval to impound can be processed
The Dam Safety Law of 1967 requires that project construction commence within
one year from the date of this approval, or the approval is void
