After reviewing your application, we have determined that this project is covered by Water Quality General Certification Number 3631, which can be viewed on our web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.uslncwetlands. The General Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 39 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: The Mooresville Regional Office shall be notified in writing once construction at the approved impact areas has commenced. 2. The work shall be conducted "in the dry". 3. Storm water discharge structures at this site shall be constructed in a manner such that the potential receiving streams (of the discharge) will not be impacted due to sediment accumulations, scouring or erosion of the stream banks. 4 A final, written storm water management plan (including a signed and notarized Operation and Maintenance Agreement) shall be submitted to the 401 Oversight and Express Permitting Unit (2321 Crabtree Blvd., Suite 250, Raleigh, NC, 27604) within 60 days of the issuance of the 401 Water Quality Certification. The storm water management plans shall be approved in writing by the central office before the impacts specified in this Certification occur. You have the option of using the Express Review Program for expedited approval of these plans. If you propose to use the Express Review Program, remember to include the appropriate fee with the plan. The storm water management plan must include construction plans, specifications, storm water BMP worksheets, and supporting calculations.
