APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Archie McGrit
2000 Iveydale Road
Wilmington, NC 28405
Dear Sirs:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to fill 0.40 acres of wetlands
in New Hanover County for the purpose of road crossing and subdivision construction, as you described in your application
received by the Division of Water Quality on July 17, 2000. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this
action is covered by General Water Quality Certification Numbers 3103 and 3287. This certification allows you to use
Nationwide Permit Numbers 14 and 39 when issued by the Corps of Engineers. 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 below and those listed in
the attached certification.
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 fora 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.
Sincerely, 5646 10
