and 3073 square feet (ft2) of protected riparian buffers (1844 ft2 of Zone 1 and 1229 ft2 of
Zone 2) for the purpose of installing a 10" sanitary sewer main at the subject property,
as described within your application dated October 31, 2012 and received by the N.C.
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on November 19, 2012. The impacts described in your
application are covered by General Water Quality Certification Number(s) 3884
(GC3884). The Certification(s) allows you to use Nationwide Permit(s) 12 when issued by

Authorization Certificate for impacts to the protected riparian buffers per 15A NCAC 213
.0259, 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, and Non - discharge regulations. Also, this
approval to proceed with your proposed impacts or to conduct impacts to waters as
depicted in your application shall expire upon expiration of the 404 or CAMA Permit.
This approval is 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 fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre of wetland
or 150 linear feet of stream, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in
