The project shall be constructed in accordance with your application dated received February 22, 2011 and
modifications received March 10, 2011 and September 7, 2011. After reviewing your application, we have decided
that these impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3701. This certification corresponds

state or local permits before you proceed with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion

404 permit.
This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified below).

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 2B.0242(9). For this approval to remain valid, you must adhere to the conditions listed
