After reviewing your application, we have determined,that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification

In addition, you should secure any other applicable federal, state or local permits before you proceed with your project,
including (but not limited to) those required by Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge, and Water Supply
Watershed regulations. Also, this approval will expire when the accompanying 404 permits expire unless otherwise
specified in the General Certification.
This approval is valid only for the purpose and design that you have described in your application. If you change your
project, you must notify us in writing, and you may be required to send us a new application for a new certification. If

responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland fill for this project (now or in the future) exceeds one
acre, or total fill to perennial streams equals or exceeds 150 linear feet, additional compensatory mitigation may be
required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions
