below, to place fill material in 0.99acres of wetlands for the purpose of constructing a pond
near NC 35 and SR 1545 as described in your application dated February 25, 2001. After
reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality
Certification Number 3287. This certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 39
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 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. The control structure shall be designed to maintain low flow in the downstream channel.
2. Upon completion of the project, the applicant shall complete and return the enclosed
"Certification of Completion Form" to notify DWQ that all the work included in the 401
Certification has been completed. The responsible party shall complete the attached
form and return it to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the Division of Water Quality.
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

Dear Mr. Short:
On February 1, 2001, your application for 401 Water Quality Certification on

Mr_ Howell_
am forwardinc to Mr_ Dorney your check- I have talked to the folks
a-L the Corps cf Engineers. They tell me that the pond should not
have a dike in the wetland area. The excavated material can be
placed as spoil on non-wetland or placed in the permitted area in
spoil piles but nct as a dam or dike. This change appears to have
occurred lest summer-
S+ncerely,
