THIS CERTIFICATION is issued in conformity with the requirements of Section 401 Public Laws 92-

Regulations in 15 NCAC 2H, Section .0500 to Mr. Greg Dickerson of the Duck United Methodist Church,

of September of 2007 (received by DWQ on October 25, 2007), and by Public Notice by the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers issued on the 15~' day of October 15 of 2007 (received by DWQ on October 17, 2007).
The application and supporting documentation provides adequate assurance that the proposed work will
not result in a violation of applicable Water Quality Standards and discharge guidelines. Therefore, the
State of North Carolina certifies that this activity will not violate the applicable portions of Sections 301,
302, 303, 306, 307 of PL 92-500 and PL 95-217 if conducted in accordance with the application, the
supporting documentation, and conditions hereinafter set forth.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design submitted in the application materials and as
described in the Public Notice. If the project is changed, prior to notification a new application for a new
Certification is required. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the Certification
and approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions of this Certification. Any
new owner must notify the Division and request the Certification be issued in their name. Should wetland
or stream 611 be requested in the future, additional compensatory mitigation may be required as described
in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). If any plan revisions from the approved site plan result in a
change in stream or wetland impact or an increase in impervious surfaces, the DWQ shall be notified in
writing and a new application for 401 Certification may be required. For this approval to be valid,
compliance with the conditions listed below is required.
Conditions of Certification:

Resources (DLR) or a DLR delegated local erosion and sedimentation control program, an NPDES
General stormwater permit (NCGO10000) administered by DWQ is automatically issued to the
project. This General Permit allows stormwater to be discharged during land disturbing
construction activities as stipulated by conditions in the permit. If your project is covered by this
permit [applicable to construction projects that disturb one (1) or more acres], full compliance with
permit conditions including the sedimentation control plan, self-monitoring, record keeping and
reporting requirements are required. A copy of this permit and monitoring report forms may be
found at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/Forms_Documents.htm.;
