Dear Mr. Bouchard:
Attached hereto is a copy of Certification No.004866 issued to Claude "CJ" Bouchard dated May 13,
2022. This approval is for the purpose and design described in your application. The plans and
specifications for this project are incorporated by reference as part of this Water Quality Certification.
If you change your project, you must notify the Division and you may be required to submit a new
application package with the appropriate fee. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a
copy of this Certification and is responsible for complying with all conditions. [15A NCAC 02H
.0507(d)(2)].
This Water Quality Certification does not relieve the permittee of the responsibility to obtain all
other required Federal, State, or Local approvals before proceeding with the project, including
those required by, but not limited to, Sediment and Erosion Control, Non -Discharge, Water Supply
Watershed, and Trout Buffer regulations.
This Water Quality Certification neither grants nor affirms any property right, license, or privilege
in any lands or waters, or any right of use in any waters. This Water Quality Certification does not
authorize any person to interfere with the riparian rights, littoral rights, or water use rights of any
other person and does not create any prescriptive right or any right of priority regarding any usage
of water. This Water Quality Certification shall not be interposed as a defense in any action
respecting the determination of riparian or littoral rights or other rights to water use. No
consumptive user is deemed by virtue of this Water Quality Certification to possess any
prescriptive or other right of priority with respect to any other consumptive user regardless of the
quantity of the withdrawal or the date on which the withdrawal was initiated or expanded.
Upon the presentation of proper credentials, the Division may inspect the property.
This Water Quality Certification shall expire on the same day as the expiration date of the
corresponding Section 404 Permit. The conditions shall remain in effect for the life of the project,
regardless of the expiration date of this Water Quality Certification.
