Approval of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Ms Sikora
You have our approval in accordance with the attached conditions to permanently impact 2 42 acres of 404
wetlands (conversion only) to temporarily impact 179 acres of 404 wetlands and to temporarily impact 85
linear feet of stream to install a new 10 inch natural gas transmission line as described within your
application received by DWQ on April 20 2012 After reviewing your application it has been determined
that the impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3884 (GC3884) This
Certification can be found on line at http //portal ncdenr ore/ web /wq /swp /ws /401 /certsandpeimtts
The Certification(s) allows you to use Nationwide Permit 12 when issued by the US Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) 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 or CAMA Permit
This approval is for the purpose and design that you described in your application 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

temporarily disturbed areas shall be restricted to the the area directly impacted by approved
construction activity All rip rap shall be buried and /or keyed in such that the original stream
