you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application.
For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification. In
addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your
project.

New Submittal. Revision
Dear Mr. Lowder:
This office has reviewed the subject erosion and
sedimentation control plan and hereby issues this letter of
approval with modifications. A list of the modifications
required is attached. This approval is conditioned upon the
incorporation or addition of these modifications to the plan. If
these modifications are not included in the plan and implemented
on the construction site, the site will be in violation of the
Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973. (G.S. 113A-61(d).
P7?9se be advised that Title 15 NCAC 4B .0017(a) requires
that a copy of the approved erosion control plan be on file at
the job site. Also, you ccnsidcr this letter to give the
Notice required by G.S. 113A-61(d) of our right of periodic
inspection to insure compliance with the approved plan.
"The land-disturbing activity described in this
plan may be subject to the approval of other
Local, State or Federal agencies. This could
include the Division of Environmental Management
under storm water or water quality regulations,
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers under Article
404 jurisdiction, county, city or town agencies
under local ordinances, or other approvals that
may be required. This approval cannot supersede
any other permit or approval."

North Carolina's Sedimentation Pollution Control Program is
performance oriented, requiring protection of the natural
resources and adjoining properties. If following the
commencement of this project it is determined that the erosion
and sedimentation control plan is inadequate to meet the Page Two
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973
(North Carolina General Statute 113A-51 thru 66), this office may
require revisions to the plan and implementation of the revisions
to insure compliance with the Act.
Please note that this approval is based in part on the
accuracy of the information provided in the Financial
Responsibility Form which you have provided. You are requested
to file an amended form if there is any change in the information
included on the form. In addition, it would be helpful if you
notify this office of the proposed starting date for this
project.
Your cooperation is appreciated, and we look forward to
working with you on this project.
Sincerely,
Jerry W. Cook, P.E.
Regional Engineer

MODIFICATIONS
1. Additional measures may be required along the sewer line if
the proposed measures can not function as intended.
2. The following locations (by station numbers) need additional
sediment control devices/measures: sta. 1+00 to 3+00 on
Stough Road Extension.

3. Erosion and Siltation Controls. Appropriate erosion and siltation controls must be used and maintained in effective
operating condition during construction, and all exposed soil and other fills must be permanently stabilized at the earliest
practicable date.
4. Aquatic Life Movements. No activity may substantially disrupt the movement of those species of aquatic life indigenous
to the waterbody, including those species which normally migrate through the area, unless the activity's primary purpose is to
impound water.
5. Equipment. Heavy equipment working in wetlands must be placed on mats or other measures must be taken to minimize
soil disturbance.
6. Regional and Case-by-case Conditions. The activity must comply with any regional conditions which may have been
added by the Division Engineer and any case specific conditions added by the Corps.
7. Wild and Scenic Rivers. No activity may occur in a component of the National Wild and Scenic River System; or in a
river officially designated by Congress as a "study river" for possible inclusion in the system, while the river is in an official
study status. Information on Wild and Scenic Rivers may be obtained from the National Park Service and the U.S. Forest
Service.
8. Tribal Rights. No activity or its operation may impair reserved tribal rights, including, but not limited to, reserved water
rights and treaty fishing and hunting rights.
9. Water Quality Certification. In certain states, an individual state water quality certification must be obtained or waived.
10. Coastal Zone Management. In certain states, an individual state coastal zone management consistency concurrence
must be obtained or waived.
11. Endangered Species. No activity is authorized under any NWP which is likely to jeopardize the continued existence of
a threatened or endangered species or a species proposed for such designation, as identified under the Federal Endangered
Species Act, or which is likely to destroy or adversely modify the critical habitat of such species. Non-Federal permittees shall
notify the District Engineer if any listed species or critical habitat might be affected or is in the vicinity of the project and shall
not begin work on the activity until notified by the District Engineer that the requirements of the Endangered Species Act have
been satisfied and that the activity is authorized. Information on the location of threatened and endangered species can be
obtained from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service.
