APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr Davis:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill or otherwise impact 45 linear feet of
stream in order repair and improve three existing fords along Pilot Mountain State Park River Access in Surry County,
as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality (Division) on November 5, 2009. After
reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number
3687, which can be viewed on our web site at hLtp://www.ncwaterqualiiy.ora/wetlands.html. This Certification allows
you to use Nationwide Permit Number 3 when it is issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In addition, you
should secure any other applicable federal, state or local permits before you proceed with your project, including (but
not limited to) those required by Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge, and Water Supply Watershed
regulations. Also, this approval will expire when the accompanying 404 permits expire unless otherwise specified in
the General Certification.
This approval is valid only for the purpose and design that you have described in your application. If you change your
project, you must notify us in writing, and you may be required to send us a new application for a new certification. If
the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the Certification and approval letter and is thereby
responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland fill for this project (now or in the future) exceeds one
acre, or total fill to perennial streams equals or exceeds 150 linear feet, additional 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, as well as the additional conditions listed below:
1. The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all other specific and general conditions of this
Certification are met. No other impacts, including incidental impacts, are approved:

Identifier Stream Impact length (feet)
Site 1 UT1 to Yadkin River 15 linear feet permanent impact
Site 2 UT1 to Yadkin River 15 linear feet permanent impact
Site 3 UT1 to Yadkin River 15 linear feet permanent impact
