Approval of 401 Water Quality Certification and Authorization Certificate per the Neuse River
Buffer Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233) with Additional Conditions
Dear Sir or Madam:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill
within or otherwise impact 0.24 acres of wetland to perform a wetland restoration at the site as described
within your application dated August 14, 2006, which was received by the N.C. Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) on August 17, 2006. After reviewing your application, we have decided that the impacts
are covered by General Water Quality Certification Number(s) 3495 (GC3495). The Certification(s)
allows you to use Nationwide Permit(s) NW27 when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers
(LTSACE). This letter shall also act as your approved Authorization Certificate for impacts to the
protected riparian buffers per 15A NCAC 2B .0233. In addition, you should obtain or otherwise comply
with any other required federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project including
(but not limited to) Erosion and Sediment Control, and Non-discharge regulations. Also, this approval
to proceed with your proposed impacts or to conduct impacts to waters as depicted in your
application shall expire upon expiration of the 404 or CAMA Permit.
This approval is for the purpose and design that you described in your application. 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 fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre of
wetland or 1501inear feet of stream, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A
NCAC 2H .0506 (h). This approval requires you to follow the conditions listed in the attached
certification and any additional conditions listed below.
The Additional Conditions of the Certification are:
1. Impacts Approved
The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all of the other specific and general
conditions of this Certification (or Isolated Wetland Permit) are met. No other impacts are
approved including incidental impacts:
