Dear Mr. Cartrette:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions; to impact 0.006 acres of wetlands
for construction of a residential subdivision on the subject property described in your application
received by DWQ on October 22, 2007. 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 3631 are met. This certification may also be viewed on our website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. This Certification allows you to use the Nationwide 18 Permit
when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers.
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 anew 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 below.
Conditions of Certification:
1. Upon completion of the project, the applicant shall complete and return the enclosed
"Certification of Completion Form" to notify DWQ that all the work included in the 401
Certification has been completed. The responsible party shall complete the attached form
and return it to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the Division of Water Quality.
Violations of any condition herein set forth may result in revocation of this Certification and may
result in criminal and/or civil penalties. This Certification shall become null and void unless the
above conditions and the General Certifications are made conditions of the Federal 404 and/or coastal
Area Management Act Permit.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory
hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing,
send a written petition, which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to
the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This
certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
