Dear Mr. Partrick:

of Zone 1 buffer and 2635 square feet of Zone 2 buffer and to permanently impact an additional 4 square feet of Zone 1
buffer and 26 square feet of Zone 2 buffer in order to construct Bent #3 for the Hornaday Rd bridge. This approval is
an amendment to the previously issued approval on July 3, 2008 and does not change the conditions of that approval.

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:

2. The pre-formed scour hole that was impacted by the construction of the bridge bent must be inspected quarterly
for one year. If inspections reveal that stormwater flow is re-concentrating through the riparian buffer, the City
shall notify the Division and conduct repairs as necessary.
3. All riparian buffers impacted by the placement of temporary fill or clearing activities shall be restored to the
preconstruction contours and revegetated. Maintained buffers shall be permanently revegetated with non-woody
species by the end of the growing season following completion of construction. For the purpose of this condition,
maintained buffer areas are defined as areas within the transportation corridor that will be subject to regular DOT
maintenance activities including mowing. The area with non-maintained buffers shall be permanently revegetated,
with native woody species before the next growing season following completion of construction.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You
must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition which
conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail
Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for
a hearing.
