The project shall be constructed in accordance with your application dated received December 15, 2014 including
the revised information received on December 16, 2014. After reviewing your application, we have decided that the
"after the fact" impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3891. This certification
corresponds to the Nationwide Permit 23 issued by the Corps of Engineers. 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
