Dear Mr. Cahoon:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions to impact 0.5 acres of waters in order
to conduct maintenance dredging as described in your application dated June 29, 2017 and received by
the Division of Water Resources (Division) on July 19, 2017. After reviewing your application, we have
decided that the impacts are below the threshold for written authorization as long as the conditions of
General Water Quality Certification Number 4085 (GC 4085) are met. This certification allows you to use
the Nationwide 3 when issued by the US 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.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application except as
modified below. 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 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:
The applicant and/or authorized agent shall provide a completed Certificate of Completion form to
the Division within thirty (30) days of project completion (available at
http://Portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/swp/ws/401/certsandpermits/apply/forms). [15A NCAC 02H
