Dear Mr. Griffith:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those
listed below, to impact 250 linear feet (If) of unnamed stream to Mallard Creek in order
to construct the development in Mecklenburg County, as described in your application
received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on October 30, 2007 and subsequent
information September 2, 2008. After reviewing your application, we have determined
that this project is covered by Water Quality General Certification Number 3705, which
can be viewed on our web site at http://h2o.enr.state. nc us/ncwetlands. The General
Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 29 once it is issued to you by
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Please note that you should get any other federal,
state or local permits before proceeding with your project, including those required by
(but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge, and Water Supply
Watershed regulations.
The above noted Certification will expire when the associated 404 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. 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.
In addition to the requirements of the certification, you must also comply with the
following conditions:
1. The Mooresville Regional Office shall be notified in writing once construction at the
approved impact areas has commenced.
