Dear Mr. Mack:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to install approximately
110,000 linear feet of a 12-inch water line adjacent to US Highway 17, temporarily impact
0.0277 acres of wetlands and directionally bore under areas of a UT to Futch Creek and most
wetlands as you described in your application dated May 12, 2009 and additional information
received on June 2, 2009. After reviewing your application, we have decided this fill is below
the threshold for written authorization as long as all conditions of General Water Quality
Certification Number 3699 are met, which may be viewed on our website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit
12 when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). In addition, you should obtain
or otherwise comply with any other required federal, state or local permits before you go ahead
with your project including (but not limited to) Erosion and Sediment Control, Non-discharge,
and stormwater regulations.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your
application. 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 on the following page.
