The project shall be constructed in accordance with yotir application dated received October 4, 2010. All the
authorized activities and conditions associated with the original Water Quality Certification dated April 25, 2008
and all subsequent modifications still apply except where superceded by this certification. After reviewing your,,.
application, we have decided that these impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification Numbers 3701,
3699 and 3688. These certifications correspond to the Nationwide Pemiits D, 12 and 33, respectively, issued by,the
Corps of Engineers. This approval is also valid for the Tar-Parritlico Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 213 .0259).
In addition, you should acquire any other federal, state or local permits before you proceed with your project
including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed
regulations. This approval will expire with the accompanying,404 permit. -
This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified below).
Should your project change, you must notify the DWQ and submit a new application. If the property is sold, the
new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter, and is thereby responsible for complying
with all the conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, or of total
impacts to streams (now or in the future) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as
described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to remain valid, you must adhere to the
conditions listed in the attached certification.

1. This modification is applicable only to the additional proposed activities. All of the authorized activities and
conditions associated with the original Water Quality Certification dated April 25, 2008 and subsequent
modifications still apply except where superceded by this certification.

2. The permittee and its authorized agents shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with State water
quality standards (including any requirements resulting from compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act)
and any other appropriate requirements of State and Federal law. If DWQ determines that such standards or
laws are not being met (including the failure to sustain a designated or achieved use) or that State or federal law
is being violated, or that further conditions are necessary to assure compliance, DWQ may reevaluate and
modify this certification.
3. Upon completion of the project (including any impacts at associated borrow or waste site), the NCDOT
Division Engineer shall complete and return the enclosed "Certification of Completion Form" to notify DWQ
when all work included in the 401 Certification has been completed. •

addition, the Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the
Division Engineer and the on-site project manager. ,
