Dear Mr. Weil:

otherwise impact 570 feet of stream and 41,839 square feet (ft2) of protected riparian buffers for the purpose of
redeveloping the existing commercial site into a gas station /convenience store and fast food restaurant, as described
Within your Major Variance Request presented to the Water Quality Committee (WQC) of the Environmental
Management Commission (EMC) on February 12, 2003 and the Pre-construction Notification Application (PCN) dated
March 3, 2003. After reviewing your application, we have decided that the impacts are covered by the N.C. Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) General Water Quality Certification Number(s) 3362 (GC3362). The Certification(s) allows you to
use Nationwide Permit 18 when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE). This letter shall, also, act as your
Major Variance approval as decided by the WQC on February 12, 2003 and described within 15A NCAC 26 .0233(9)(c).
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 Neuse
Stormwater regulations. Also, this approval will expire when the accompanying 404 permit expires unless otherwise
specified in GC3362.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your Major Variance Request and PCN
Application. If you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application and
request a new Major Variance approval through the WQC. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of
this Certification and approval and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. For this approval to be valid,
you must follow the conditions listed in GC3362 and any other conditions listed below.
Conditions:
1. Stormwater Management
A final, written stormwater management plan shall be approved in writing by this Office before the impacts specified in
this Certification and Major Variance Approval occur. The stormwater management plan must include plans and
specifications for stormwater management facilities designed to remove 85% TSS according to the most recent
version of the NC DENR Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual. The stormwater management plan must
include the extended detention wetland to remove nitrogen as required by the WQC. These facilities must be
designed to treat the runoff from the entire project, unless otherwise explicitly approved by the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ). Also, before any permanent building is occupied at the subject site, the facilities (as approved by this
Office) shall be constructed and operational, and the stormwater management plan (as approved by this Office) shall
be implemented. The structural stormwater practices as approved by this Office as well as drainage patterns must be
maintained in perpetuity. No changes to the structural stormwater practices shall be made without written authorization
from the Division of Water Quality.
