Permit for Impacts to Isolated and Other Non -404 Jurisdictional Wetlands and Waters Permit No. IWGP100000.
In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project

regulations. Also, this Permit will expire upon the expiration date of IWGP100000 (March 19, 2012) or unless
otherwise rescinded by the Director of the Division of Water Quality.
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 Permit 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 NCAC 2H .0506 (h). This approval
requires you to follow the conditions listed in the attached Permit and any additional conditions listed below.
