After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3289. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 12 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 Watershed regulations. Also 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 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). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification. This approval shall expire when the corresponding Nationwide Permit expires or as otherwise provided in the General 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 Domey at 919-733-1786.

The Pump Station No. 44 project includes an intercepting sewer, regional pump station, and force main to serve the Wilmington Industrial Park and other facilities on Division Drive and rn accommodate the City's long range planning for the Division Drive area. The C-3 -.c project consists of a 600 GPM duplex suction lift wastewater pumping station m with associated site work, approximately 2,550 LF of sanitary sewer, and ^C rn Z approximately 1,968 LF of 10-inch force main. C:7 ---I We have made attempts to minimize and avoid impacts where possible by rotating our site plan and crossing wetlands where necessary at close to 90- degree angles. The encroachment area, as delineated on our plans, totals about 2,040 SF or 1/201h of an acre. Temporary dewatering will be required for construction. Attached please find seven (7) copies of drawings for the areas of the project that involve a wetlands encroachment. The wetland encroachments are delineated with a hatch pattern. The encroachment areas are as follows: • At the pump station site (sheet C3), we will need to clear approximately .02 acres of wetlands and will fill possibly a few inches over an area of approximately 1 1 sf. This area is located where the 8 contour line crosses the hatched pattern representing the wetlands. Based on the standard precision of both delineation and construction, there may actually be no fill at all. We do not see that permitting a few inches of fill in 1/40001h of an acre is necessary but will proceed based on your ruling. The areas to be cleared will be returned to pre-construction conditions. • Approximately 110 linear feet of gravity sewer will encroach on ¦ TEL 910 792 1040 FAX 910 792 0277 C' Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc, J 26%nm!

Of the 110 linear feet, approximately 30 feet will be for the creek crossing and will be encased in concrete. The width of the clearing will be approximately 15-20 at the creek crossing and 8-10 feet along the shoulder of Division Drive. No permanent fill will be placed in this area and they will be returned to pre-construction conditions. Approximately 60 linear feet of force main sewer will encroach on approximately 0.014 acres of wetlands as denoted on sheet C6. The width of the encroachment is approximated to be 10 feet. The areas to be cleared will be returned to pre-construction conditions.
