APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Bridle:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions; to permanently impact 24 linear feet of
stream in order to develop a residential lot known as Summerfield Farm in Summerfield NC in Guilford
County, as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality (Division) on October 19,
2012 and additional information submitted on October 29, 2012. After reviewing your application, we have
determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number and 3886, which can be
viewed on our web site at http:// www. ncwat erquality.org/wetlands.html. This Certification allows you to use
Nationwide Permit Number 14 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:
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:
