* n/a = Total for Site is less than 1/3 acre and 150 linear feet of impact, no mitigation required
Total Additional Buffer Impact for Project: 3,271 square feet.
The project shall be constructed in accordance with your application dated received February 17, 2011 and
modification request received August 25, 2011. After reviewing your application, we have decided that these
impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification Numbers 3820, 3689, and 3688. This certification
corresponds to the Nationwide Permits 14, 13 and 33 issued by the Corps of Engineers. This approval is also valid
for the Tar-Pamlico Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B.0259). In addition, you should acquire any other federal,
state or local permits before you proceed with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion
Control, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This approval will expire with the accompanying
404 permit.
This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application and modification request.
Should your project change, you must notify the NCDWQ and submit 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 the conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, or of total
impacts to streams (now or in the future) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as
described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506 (h) (6) and (7). Additional buffer impacts may require compensatory mitigation
as described in 15A NCAC.0260(9). For this approval to remain valid, you must adhere to the conditions listed in
the certification and any additional conditions listed below.
