Dear Mr. Korenek:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to excavate or
otherwise temporarily impact 14.5 acres of wetlands for the purpose of removing ordnances at the subject
property, as described within your 401 application dated June 21, 2007 and received by the N.C. Division
of Water Quality (DWQ) Wilmington Regional Office (WiRO) on June 25, 2007. After reviewing your
application, we have decided that the impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification Number
3637 (GC 3637). This Certification can also be found on line at:
http:/,lh2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/certs.html. The Certification allows you to use the Nationwide 38
when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). 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 permits.
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.
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 15A NCAC
2H .0506 (h). This approval requires you to follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and
any additional conditions listed below.
The Additional Conditions of the Certification are:
1. Impacts Approved
The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all of the other specific and general
conditions of this Certification (or Isolated Wetland Permit) are met. No other impacts are
approved including incidental impacts:
