Dear Mr. Adkins:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions; to temporarily impact 30 linear feet of stream order
install the Archdale Regulator Access Drive in Archdale, NC, as described in an application received by the Division of
Water Quality (Division) on July 13, 2012 and additional information received August 13, 2012 and August 14, 2012.
After reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification
Number and 3884, which can be viewed on our web site at http://www.newaterquality.org/wetlands.html. This
Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 12 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:
