APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Kotis:
June 4, 2010
DWQ# 09-1112
Guilford County
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill and impact 0.097 acres of wetlands and
388 linear feet of stream to install fill for the Church Crossing Commercial Subdivision located in Greensboro, NC in
Guilford County, as described in your application received by the Division on October 19, 2009, and additional
information received on January 19, 2010, March 4, 2010 and April 28, 2010. After reviewing your application, we
have determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Numbers 3821, which can be viewed on
our web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/rd_wetlands_ certifcations.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:
