APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear. Mr. Loflin,
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place temporarily fill in 30 linear feet of stream,
in order construct a temporary sewer line crossing for the Steeplegate North residential subdivision located near Trinity,
NC in Randolph County, as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality (Division) on April
4, 2008 and additional information received May 21, 2008. After reviewing your application, we have determined that
this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3699, which can be viewed on our web site at
http•//www.ncwatelqualiiy.org/wetlands.html. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 12
when it is issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In addition, you should secure any other applicable federal,
state or local permits before you proceed with your project, including (but not limited to) those required by Sediment
and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge, and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also, this approval will expire when
the accompanying 404 permits expire unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
This approval is valid only for the purpose and design that you have 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. If total wetland fill for this project (now or in the future) exceeds one
acre, or total fill to perennial streams equals or exceeds 150 linear feet, additional compensatory mitigation may be
required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions
listed in the attached certification, as well as the additional conditions listed below:
1. The following additional impacts are hereby approved as long as all other specific and general conditions of this
Certification are met. No other impacts, including incidental impacts, are approved:
Identifier Impact length
Little Uwharrie River - temporaryimpact 30 linear feet
2. Upon finishing the project, the Applicant shall fill out and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been
completed. This certificate should be returned to the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the NC
Division of Water Quality at the address listed on the form. Along with the Certificate of
Completion, please send photographs showing the restored stream reach.
