Total Stream Impact for Project: 1571inear feet.
The project shall be constructed in accordance with your application dated received February 11, 2008. After
reviewing your application, we have decided that these impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification
Number 3704. This certification corresponds to the Nationwide 14 issued by the Corps of Engineers. In addition,
you should acquire any other federal, state or local permits before you proceed with your project including (but not
limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This approval
will expire with the accompanying 404 permit.
This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified below).
Should your project change, you must notify the DWQ and submit a new application. 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 may be required as
described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to remain valid, you must adhere to the
conditions listed in the attached certification as well as those listed below.
Conditions of Certification:
1. For any streams being impacted due to site dewatering activties, the site shall be graded to its preconstruction
contours and revegetated with appropriate native species.
