Dacula, GA 30019
Dear Sirs:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill material in 91 linear feet of
streams for the purpose of constructing road crossing for the sylvan Habitat subdivision and camp lots as described in your application dated
32. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3259. This
certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 14 when the Corps of Engineers issues it. In addition, you should set ally 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 CA_NL4
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 remaining jurisdictional wetlands and streams 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. 276 1 1-7447. This certification and its conditions are
final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.

The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has reviewed your submittal for a 401 Certification for Transylvania County.
This application has been put on administrative hold until the DWQ receives additional information that is outlined
below. This information is needed by DWQ in order for us to decide whether this project is approvable. It is advised
that you review the specifications outlined for application submittal and approval on the DWQ website
(http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/).
Please provide our office with specifications for the water withdrawal structures and indicate how much
water will be diverted. Will the release of water maintain minimum flow requirements of the receiving
stream?
Please provide this office with detailed designs for the dam.
Please provide us with a complete site plan including the two crossings requested in this application and
where the dam is located in this plan.
Please respond within three weeks of the date of this letter by sending us the appropriate information. If we do not
hear from you in three weeks, we will assume that you no longer want to pursue this project and we will consider the
project as withdrawn.
I can be reached at 919-733-1786 if you have any questions. Until this information is received, I will request (by
copy of this letter) that the Corps of Engineers place this project on hold. Also, the project will be placed on hold for
our processing due to incomplete information (15A NCAC 2H.0507(a)(4)). Your processing time will begin once
