APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and Tar-Pamlico Buffer Rules
Beaufort County Water District - Washington Township
c/o Frank T. Bonner
PO Box 1027
Washington, NC 27889-1027
Dear Sirs:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to excavate up to 1 acre of wetlands and impact the
associated riparian buffers in Beaufort County for the purpose of constructing water line crossings, as you described in your
application received by the Division of Water Quality on June 21, 2000. After reviewing your application, we have
determined that this action is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3288. This Certification allows you to
use Nationwide Permit Number 12 when issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This approval is also valid for the Tar-
Pamlico River buffer rules (15A NCAC 2B .0259). 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, Non-Discharge and Water Supply
Watershed regulations. Also this approval will expire when the accompanying 404 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). This approval shall expire when the corresponding
Nationwide Permit expires or as otherwise provided in the General Certification. For this approval to be valid, you must
follow the conditions listed below and 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 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.
Sin rely,
Stevens
