This approval is for the purpose and design described in your application. The plans and
specifications for this project are incorporated by reference as part of the Certification. If you
change your project, you must notify the Division and you may be required to submit a new
application package with the appropriate fee. If the property is sold, the new owner must be
given a copy of this approval letter and General Certification(s)/Permit/Authorization and is
responsible for complying with all conditions. [15A NCAC 02H .0507(d)(2)]
3. This authorization exempts the Permittee from meeting Condition #5 in the attached general
certification for the repair of three fords crossing Horne Creek. The Permittee shall take all
reasonable measures to keep heavy equipment out of the stream channel. All reasonable steps
must be taken to limit the amount of disturbance in the channel and to therefore reduce
downstream turbidity during construction. This exemption does not relieve the Permittee of
meeting stream standards as indicated in 15A NCAC 02B. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(f)]
This approval and its conditions are final and binding unless contested. [G.S. 143-215.5]
