Dear Dr. Thorpe:
This letter is a correction to the Water Quality Certification issued for the referenced project. This letter
should be attached to the existing WQC for the referenced project and is valid solely for the correction of
Condition 22 of the WQC. Condition 22 is corrected as follows:
22. Two copies of the final construction drawings shall be furnished to NCDWQ prior to the pre-
construction meeting.. Written verification shall be provided that the final construction drawings
comply with the attached permit drawings contained in the application dated February 23, 2006.
All the authorized activities and conditions of the certification associated with the original Water Quality
Certification dated March 31, 2006 and all other corresponding modifications still apply except where
superceded by this certification.
Should your project change, you must notify the DWQ and submit a new application for a WQC
modification. 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 1501inear feet, compensatory mitigation maybe required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506
(h) (6) and (7).
