Total Buffer Impact for Project: 771 square feet.
The project shall be constructed in accordance with your application received December 18, 2013 and modification
received May 8, 2014. After reviewing your application, we have decided that these impacts are covered by General
Water Quality Certification Number 3886. This certification corresponds to the Nationwide Permit 14 issued by the
Corps of Engineers. This approval is also valid for the Neuse Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B.0233). In
addition, you should acquire any other federal, state or local permits before you proceed with your project including
(but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non - Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This
approval will expire with the accompanying 404 permit.
This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified below).
Should your project change, you must notify the NCDWR and submit 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 the conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, or of total
impacts to streams (now or in the future) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as
described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). Additional buffer impacts may require compensatory mitigation
as described in 15A NCAC 2B.0242(9). For this approval to remain valid, you must adhere to the conditions listed
in the attached certification and any additional conditions listed below.
