NO WRITTEN CONCURRENCE NEEDED
Dear Mr. Bauer:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to abandon an existing
10" sanitary sewer line and replacement of existing sanitary sewer line with new 10"
sanitary sewer line and connecting existing 8" sanitary sewer line to the new sewer main and
in doing this impacting 0.112 acres of forested wetlands to access the line and 20 linear feet
of stream for stabilization purposes you described in your application dated December 18,
2008. After reviewing your application, we have decided this fill is below the threshold for
written authorization as long as all conditions of General Water Quality Certification
Number 3699 are met, which may be viewed on our website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/newetlands. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide
Permit 12 when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). 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 stormwater regulations.
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 and you maybe required to send
us 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
conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre,
compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506 (h) (6) and
(7). This approval shall expire when the corresponding Nationwide Permit expires or as
otherwise provided in the General Certification. For this approval to be valid, you must
follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional conditions listed
on the following page.
