Dear Ms. Kelly:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to
,place fill within or otherwise impact 0.11 acres of wetland, to construct the proposed residence at
the subject property, as described within your revised application dated January 5, 2007 and
received by the N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on January 16, 2007. After reviewing
your application, we have decided that the impacts are covered by General Water Quality
Certification Number(s) 3404 and 3402 (GC3404 and GC3402). The Certification(s) allows you
to use Nationwide Permit(s) 14 and 18, respectively, when issued by the US Army Corps of
Engineers (USAGE). In addition, you should obtain or otherwise comply with any other
required federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not
limited to) Erosion and Sediment Control, and Non-discharge regulations. Also, this approval
to proceed with your proposed impacts or to conduct impacts to waters as depicted in your
application shall expire upon expiration of the 404 or LAMA Permit.
This approval is for the purpose and design that you described in your application. 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 fills for this project (now or in
the future) exceed one acre of wetland or 150 linear feet of stream, compensatory mitigation may
be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h). This approval requires you to follow the
