described in an application received by the Division of Water Quality (Division) on July 31, 2012 and additional
information received October 10, 2012. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered
by General Water Quality Certification Number and 3884, which can be viewed on our web site at
biip://www.ncwateroualitv.org/wetlands.html. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 12
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, Non - Discharge, 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:
