0.03 acre of associated wetlands for the crossing;

This approval is only valid for the purpose .and design that you described 'in your Pre- Construction Notification (PCN)
application received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) dated April 10, 2002. After reviewing your application, we
have determined that General Water Quality Certification Number 3375 covers this activity. These Certifications can also
be found on line at: h : //h2o.ent. state .nc.us /newetlands /certs.html. These Certifications allows you to use your 404
Permit when the Corps of Engineers issues it. Please keep -in mind that there may be additional Federal, State or Local

wetland fills for this,project (now or in the future) exceed one acre,.compensatory mitigation may be :required as described

and aquatic life; ,
2). The restored stream section needs to be vegetated,to prevent any erosion into the creek and to plant some native
trees (at a 8'x 8 ` spacing);
3). When dredging out the existing culverts, turbidity controls must be maintained throughout construction, so that
turbidity does not exceed 25 NTUs outside the project area. Please contact this Office at the number listed below
if there are any problems with turbidity;

of the site.
