After reviewing your modification application, we have determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Numbers 3705, which can be viewed on our web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/rd_wetlands_certifications.htm. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 39 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 (including trout buffer waivers as necessary), Non-Discharge, State Stormwater, 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.
