Dear Mr. DeLozier:

conditions listed below, for the purpose proposed in your application dated March 4, 2016, and
received by the Division of Water Resources (the Division) on March 7, 2016 and subsequent
information received on April 11, 2016. After reviewing your application, we have determined
that this project is covered by Water Quality General Certification Number 3890 which can be
viewed on our web site at https:Hdeg.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/water-resources-
permits/wastewater-branch/401-wetlands-buffer-permits/401-general-certifications. The
General Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 42 once it is issued to you by
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE). Please note that you should get any other federal,
state or local permits before proceeding with your project, including those required by (but not
limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non -Discharge, and Water Supply Watershed
regulations.
The above noted Certification will expire when the associated 404 permit expires unless
otherwise specified in the General Certification. It is advised that all conditions of the
Certification are reviewed prior to initiation of the project. In addition to the requirements of the
Certification, you must also comply with the following conditions:
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your
application. If you change your project, you must notify us in writing, and you may be
required to send us a new application for a new Certification. 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 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be 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. 15A NCAC 02H
