Justification: A project that affects waters shall not be permitted unless the existing uses, and the water
quality to protect such uses, are protected. In determining that the proposed activity will comply with
state water quality standards (including designated uses, numeric criteria, narrative criteria and the
state's antidegradation policy), the project must provide for replacement of existing uses through
compensatory mitigation.
This approval is for the purpose and design described in your application. The plans and specifications for

responsible for complying with all conditions. [15A NCAC 02B .0611(b)(2)]
If you are unable to comply with any of the conditions below, you must notify the Raleigh Regional
Office within 24 hours (or the next business day if a weekend or holiday) from the time the permittee
becomes aware of the circumstances.
The permittee shall report to the Raleigh Regional Office any noncompliance with the conditions of this
Authorization Certificate and/or any violation of state regulated riparian buffer rules [15A NCAC
02B .0714]. Information shall be provided orally within 24 hours (or the next business day if a weekend
or holiday) from the time the applicant became aware of the circumstances.
This approval and its conditions are final and binding unless contested. [G.S. 143-215.5] Upon the
presentation of proper credentials, the Division may inspect the property.
This Authorization Certificate can be contested as provided in Chapter 150B of the North Carolina
