The project shall be constructed in accordance with your modification dated January 26, 2018. After reviewing your
application, we have decided that these.impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 4088.
This certification corresponds to General Permit 198200031 issued by the Corps of Engineers. In addition, you
should acquire any other federal, state or local permits before you proceed with your project including (but not
limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This approval
will expire with the accompanying 404 permit.
This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application. All the authorized activities
and conditions of certification associated with the original Water Quality Certification dated July 10, 2017 and
subsequently revised and dated July 13, 2017, still apply except where superseded by this certification. Should your
project change, you must notify the NCDWR and submit 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 the
conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, or of total impacts to streams
(now or in the future) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC

satisfying the.federal Clean Water Act compensatory mitigation requirements for the above-referenced project,
in accordance with the DMS Mitigation Banking Instrument signed July 28, 2010.
2. All the authorized activities and conditions of certification associated with the original Water Quality
Certification dated July 10, 2017 and subsequently revised and dated July 13, 2017, still apply except where
