Dear Mr. Rawl,
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions to permanently impact 0.4252
acres of 404 jurisdictional wetlands and to temporarily impact 0.237 acres of 404 jurisdictional
wetlands to construct the proposed residential subdivision as described in your application received
by the N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on June 27, 2013. After reviewing your application,
we have decided that the impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification Numbers 3890
(GC 3890) & 3893 (GC3893). These Certifications can also be found on line at:
http: / /portal.ncdenr.org/web /m cg/swp /ws /401 /certsandpermits. This Certification allows you to use
the 404 Permit when issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. 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, Non - discharge, and
stormwater 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
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 anew 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 15A NCAC 211.0506 (h). This
approval requires you to follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any
additional conditions listed below.
