APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
Ira Spencer
120 Fearing Place
Manteo N.C. 27954
Dear Mr. Spencer.
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill material in0.05 acres
of wetlands or waters for the purpose of constructing a road crossing at your lot at US 64/264 near SR 1180, as you described in
your application dated April 15, 1999. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General
Water Quality Certification Number3102. This certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 14 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 Water shed
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). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the
attached certification and any additional conditions listed below.
1. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all lots with remaining jurisdictional wetlands and waters to notify the
state in order to assure compliance for future wetland and/or water impact. These mechanisms shall be put in place within 30 days
of the date of this letter or the issuance of the 404 Permit (whichever is later).
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 Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. This
certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you have
any questions, please telephone John Domey at 919-733-1786.
