APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
5 Aprils S/D
c/o Robert Holmes
PO Box 594
Swansboro, NC 28584
Dear Mr. Holmes:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to fill 0.09 acre of wetland for
the purpose of residential construction in Carteret County as you described in your application received by the Division of
Water Quality on December 29,1999. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this action is covered by
General Water Quality Certification Number 3103. 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. 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.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. Yon 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 Dorney at 919-733-9646.
