Dear Mr. Johnson:
You have our approval, in accordance with the conditions listed below, to, hand clear and additional 160 square feet of wetlands for
the purpose of replacing Bridge Number 176 over Slocum Creek on SR 1763 (Church St.) in Craven County. Temporary hand
clearing impacts to wetlands remain at 0.13 acres, and overall wetland impacts for the project remain at 0.93 acres. This modification
also delays the start of the in -water work moratorium per the condition listed below.
The project shall be constructed in accordance with your application dated received February 6, 2013. All the authorized activities
and conditions associated with the original Water Quality Certification dated July 31, 2012 still apply except where superseded
by this certification. After reviewing your application, we have decided that these impacts are covered by General Water Quality
Certification Number 3891. This certification corresponds to the Nationwide Permit 23 issued by the Corps of Engineers. This
approval is also valid for the Neuse Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233). In addition, you should acquire any other federal,
state or local permits before you proceed with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non -
Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This approval will expire with the accompanying 404 permit.
This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified below). Should your project
change, you must notify the DWQ and submit 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 the conditions. If total wetland fills for this project
(now or in the future) exceed one acre, or of total impacts to streams (now or in the future) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory
mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to remain valid, you must adhere to
the conditions listed in the attached certification.
Conditions of Certification
1. This modification is applicable only to the additional proposed activities. All of the authorized activities and conditions
associated with the original Water Quality Certification dated July 31, 2012 and subsequent modifications still apply except
where superseded by this certification.
