APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Masters:
You have our approval, in accordance the general certification and those conditions listed below, to
impact 140 linear feet (If) of unnamed stream to Irish Buffalo Creek in order to construct the facility in Cabarrus
County, as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on February 6,
2008. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this project is covered by Water Quality
General Certification Number 3705, which can be viewed on our web site at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/index.html). The General Certification allows you to use Nationwide
Permit Number 39 once it is issued to you by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. 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. 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 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.
In addition to the requirements of the certification, you must also comply with the following conditions:
The Mooresville Regional Office shall be notified in writing once construction at the approved impact areas
has commenced.
2. The headwater/water source to the impacted stream shall be maintained to ensure water flow downstream
of the impact.
3. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all retained jurisdictional wetlands, waters and
protective buffers in order to assure compliance for future wetland, water and buffer impact. These
mechanisms shall be put in place at the time of recording of the property, or of individual lots, whichever is
appropriate. A sample deed notification can be downloaded from the 401/Wetlands Unit web site at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. The text of the sample deed notification may be modified as
appropriate to suit to this project.
