APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification

Water and Sewer Authority of Cabarrus County
Post Office Box 428
Concord, North Carolina 28026-0428

Dear Sir or Madam:

You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place temporary fill material in 2.5 acres of
wetlands for the purpose of constructing a sewer line along Bach Creek from Rocky River to Hickory Ridge Road as you
described in your application dated December 14,01999. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is
covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3101. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Pennit
Number 12 when the Corps of Engineers issues it. In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local pennits
before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Coastal Stormwater,
Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also this approval will expire when the accompanying 404 or
CAMA pennit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
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 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 l5A NCAC
2H .0506 (h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification. This
approval shall expire when the corresponding Nationwide Pennit expires or as otherwise provided in the General
Certification.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must
act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition which conforms to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh,
N.C. 27611-7447. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 40 1 of the Clean Water Act. If you
have-any questions, please telephone John Dorney at 919-733-9646.
