work will not result in a violation of applicable Water Quality Standards and discharge
guidelines. Therefore, the State of North Carolina certifies that this activity will not violate the
applicable portions of Sections 301, 302, 303, 306, 307 of PL 92 -500 and PL 95 -217 if conducted

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. Any new owner must notify the Division and request the Certification be issued in
their name. 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 15A NCAC
