The project shall be constructed in aecordanee with your applice�iun received July� I I, 3013. Alier revizwing your
application. we have decicied Ihat these impacts are cuvered by Generzl Water Quality Certitication Nmnber 413>.
lhis cenification corresponds lo the Nation.ridr Pznnit Id issuzd by the Corps of Fngineers. This approval is also
valid for the Neuse Riparian Bufter Rules ( I SA NCAC 38.03=3). In addition. ��ou should acyuire an�� other federal,
srate or local permit�s betore you pruceed with yow' project including (bui not limired to) Sediment and �rosion
Control. Non-Dischar,e and Water Supplq Watershed re�,ulations. This approval will e�pire with the accompanying
�10�1 permit.
i his approval is valid solel}� for lhe purpose and design describzd in your applica[ion (unless moditied beloµ�).
Should }�our project chan_�e. you mus[ nolifi� [he NCDWR and submi� a new applic�[ion. If the property is sold, the
new uwner inust be given a copy of this Certitica�ion and approval letter, and is diereby responsible lor comply�ing
with all the conditions. If iotal we�land lills for this project (now or in the tuwre) exceed onc acre, or oY rotal
impacts to streams Inow or in the I�uture) esceed I50 linear feet, cumpensatory miti�ation may be required as
described in I>A NCAC'_1�1 .0506 (h) l6) and (7). Additional buFfer impacu mny require compensamry mitieation
as described in I�A NCAC 36.03= 3. 1=or this approval to remain valid, you must adhere io th� conditions listed in

July 18.2U18.
Conditions o(Certification:
L Compensatory miti,���ion for impacis to �3� square feet of protected riparian buffers in Zune I shell be
required. We unders�and tha� �rou have chosen to perform compensatory� initieation for impacts io protected buffers
through use of the North Carolina Division of Mitigation Sercice, 1 DMS) ( lurmerh NCI;GP). Miti�ation for
un�voidable impacts to Neuse Riparian Buffers shall be providetl in the Neuse River Basin and done in accordance
witl� I SA NCAC 26.039�. The DMS has indicatcd in a letter dated Jul� �. �018 that they ��ill ussume respunsibility
for satisti--ing the compensatory miiigation requiremenls for the above-referenced projec�. in accordance wi�h DMS's

wedands or streambeds or banks. acljacznt to or upstrcam and down strcam of �he above structures. -I�he applicant is
required tu provide evidznce Ihat the equilibrium is beine maintained if requested in writing b�� the NCDW R. If this
condition is unable to be met due to bedrock or odier limiting fea[ures encountered during constniction, please
contact the NCDWR for kuidance on how to proceed and to determine whether or nut a permit modiheation will be
required. �I?.A NCAC 03H.O�OGIb�(3)�
3. If multiple pipes or barrels are required, the�� shall be desi!,ned to mimic natural stream cross section as closely as
possible includine pipes or barrels at Flood �lein elevation and%or sills where appropriate. W idening the stream
channel should be avoided. S�reain channel widening at Ihe inlet or outlet end of s[ructures t}�pically decreases
water velocit} causing sediment deposition that rzquires incrca,ed muintenance and disrupts aquatic life passa,e.
[ I SA NCAC 02H.0�06(b)(_'1]
