Dear Mr. Styers:

DWQ Project # 12 -0726

You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to temporarily
impact 20 linear feet of stream to install a new larger diameter water transmission main as described within your
application received by the DWQ on July 30, 2012. After reviewing your application, we have decided these
impacts are below the threshold for written authorization as long as all conditions of General Water Quality
Certification Number 3884 (GC3884) are met. This certification may also be viewed on our website at
http: / /portal.ncdenr.org/web /wq /swp /ws /401 /certsandpermits. This Certification allows you to use the
Nationwide 12 Permit when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that is 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 wetland fills for this project (now or in the future)
exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6)
and (7). This approval shall expire when the corresponding Nationwide Permit expires or as otherwise
provided in the General Certification. For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed
in the attached certification and any additional conditions listed below.
Conditions of Certification:
1. Upon completion of all work approved within the 401 Water Quality Certification or applicable
Buffer Rules, and any subsequent modifications, the applicant is required to return the attached

hearing.
Violations of any condition herein set forth may result in revocation of this Certification and may result in
