The application provides adequate assurance that the discharge of fill material into the waters of the Catawba River
Basin in conjunction with the proposed development will not result in a violation of applicable Water Quality
Standards and discharge guidelines. Therefore,the State of North Carolina certifies that this activity will not violate
the applicable portions of Sections 301,302,303,306,307 of PL 92-500 and PL 95-217 if conducted in accordance
with the application and conditions hereinafter set forth.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you submitted in your modified application dated
received November 24,2020. All the authorized activities and conditions of certification associated with the
original Water Quality Certification dated November 19,2019 and January 30,2020 still apply except where
superseded by this certification. Should your project change,you are required to notify the NCDWR 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 any additional wetland impacts,or stream
impacts,for this project(now or in the future)exceed one acre or 150 linear feet,respectively,additional
compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506(h)(6)and(7). For this approval to
remain valid,you are required to comply with all the conditions listed below. In addition,you should obtain all
other federal,state or local permits before proceeding with your project including(but not limited to)Sediment and
Erosion control,Coastal Stormwater,Non-discharge and Water Supply watershed regulations. This Certification
shall expire on the same day as the expiration date of the corresponding Corps of Engineers Permit.
Condition(s)of Certification:
1. Exemption for pipe burial at Permitted Sites 16, 17, 18, 19,21,22,24,25,and 27 are granted as requested
based on the condition of the existing pipe. The existing pipes are perched and meeting burial
requirements will be impossible within current right of way lines. However,the permittee will be
expected to incorporate acceptable stream structures, such as rock ladders,at these sites to restore aquatic
passage to the maximum extent practicable.
2. This modification is applicable only to the additional proposed activities. All of the authorized activities
and conditions of certification associated with the original Water Quality Certification dated November
19,2019 and subsequent modification dated January 30,2020 still apply except where superseded by this
certification.
Violations of any condition herein set forth may result in revocation of this Certification and may result in criminal
and/or civil penalties. This Certification shall become null and void unless the above conditions are made
conditions of the Federal 404 and/or Coastal Area Management Act Permit. This Certification shall expire upon the
DocuSign Envelope ID:4067B170-39BC-48EA-AF2D-F8999E0725DA
expiration of the 404 or CAMA permit.
If you wish to contest any statement in the attached Certification you must file a petition for an administrative
