Taylor and Catts: You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to construct/restore streams and wetlands for the purpose of constructing a mitigation bank, as described within your Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) dated December 21, 2010 and received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Wilmington Regional Office (WiRO) on January 6, 2011. After reviewing your application, we have decided that the impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3689 (GC 3689). The Certification allows you to use the Nationwide 27 (NW 27) permit when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers. 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, Non-discharge, and stormwater 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 Permit. This approval is for the purpose and design that you described in your application and in your approved mitigation Banking instrument (MBI). The approved plans and specifications for this project are incorporated by reference and are an enforceable part of the permit. 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 150 linear 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 on the following pages.
