NO WRITTEN CONCURRENCE NEEDED
Dear Mr. Livingston:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to temporarily impact
wetlands and stream for the expansion of the apron and improvement of the stormwater system,
as you described in your courtesy notification dated September 2012 and received by the
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Wilmington Regional Office (WiRO) on October 9, 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 (GC 3884) are met. This Certification allows you to use the Nationwide permit 12 (NW
12) when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers. 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.
This approval is only valid 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
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 on the following pages.
