You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place permanent fill in 0.59 acres
of isolated wetlands as indicated on your revised PCN received on January 2, 2008,order to construct a
subdivision in Dare County. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered
by the State General Permit for Impacts to Isolated Wetlands and Isolated Waters (IWGP100000). In

including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge and Water Supply
Watershed regulations. Also, this Permit will expire upon the expiration date of IWGP100000
(September 30, 2008) or unless otherwise rescinded by the Director of the Division of Water

This approval is for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you change your
project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application. If the property is sold,
the new owner must be given a copy of this Permit and approval letter and is thereby responsible for
complying with all conditions. If total fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre of
wetland or 150 linear feet of stream, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A
NCAC 2H .0506 (h). This approval requires you to follow the conditions listed in the attached Permit
and any additional conditions listed below.
