APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Kirby:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill and impact 0.041 acres of wetlands and
10 linear feet of jurisdictional streams to install the Village Point Lake Greenway in Clemmons, NC in Forsyth County,
as described in your application received by the Division on July 7, 2012 and additional information received August
22, 2012. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality
Certification Number 3890, which can be viewed on our web site at
http: //h2o.enr. state. nc. us/ ncwetlands/ rd_wetlands_certifications.htm. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide
Permit Number 42 when it is issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In addition, you should secure any other
applicable federal, state or local permits before you proceed with your project, including (but not limited to) those
required by Sediment and Erosion Control (including trout buffer waivers as necessary), Non - Discharge, State
Stormwater, and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also, this approval will expire when the accompanying 404
permits expire unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
This approval is valid only for the purpose and design that you have described in your application. If you change your
project, you must notify us in writing, and you may be required to send us a new application for a new certification. If
the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the Certification and approval letter and is thereby
responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland fill for this project (now or in the future) exceeds one
acre, or total fill to perennial streams equals or exceeds 150 linear feet, additional compensatory mitigation may be
required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions
listed in the attached certification, as well as the additional conditions listed below:
1. The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all other specific and general conditions of this
Certification are met. No other impacts, including incidental impacts, are approved:
