This permit correction is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute

decision shall be final and binding.

modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect the legal requirements
to obtain other permits which may be required by any other Federal, State, or Local governmental
regulation. If you have any questions concerning these changes,please contact Charles H.Weaver at(919)
