Town of Southern Pines
Attn: Bobby Teague
140 Memorial Park Court
Southern Pines, NC 28387
Dear Mr. Teague:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to impact 100 square feet of
waters for the purpose of constructing the Town of Southern Pines temporary weir on Drowning Creek
as you described in your application dated October 31, 2002. After reviewing your application, we
have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3362, which may
be viewed on our website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. This certification allows you to use
General Permit Number 18 when the Corps of Engineers issues it. 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 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 conditions. 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). This approval shall expire when the
corresponding Nationwide Permit expires or as otherwise provided in the General Certification. For
this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any
additional conditions listed below.
1. Upon completion of the project, the applicant shall complete and return the enclosed
"Certification of Completion Form" to notify DWQ that all the work included in the 401
Certification has been completed. The responsible party shall complete the attached form and
return it to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the Division of Water Quality.
2. The 30 inch pipe through the dam shall remain open at all times in order to provide
downstream flow unless approved otherwise in writing by DWQ.
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
