Dear Mrs. Lawrence:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed

for the purpose of stabilization at the subject property, as described within your
application received by the N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on September 28,
2007 and additional information received October 22, 2007. After reviewing your
application, we have decided that the impacts are covered by General Water Quality
Certification Number(s) 3687 (GC3687). The Certification(s) allows you to use
Permit(s) GP30 when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE). 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 buffer regulations. 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 or CAMA Permit.
This approval is for the purpose 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:
