Dear Ms. Girdwood:

Gaston County
DWQ Project # 001334
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to stabilize in 1,448 linear feet of shoreline for
the purpose of constructing the Woodland Bay development at Lake Wylie, as you described in your application dated
October 18, 2000. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality
Certification Number 3288. This Certification allows you to use Regional General Permit Number 030 when the Corps
of Engineers issues it. In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits 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 permit 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 15A 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 Permit 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. 276 1 1-7447. 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 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you
have any questions, please telephone John Domey at 919-733-1786.
Sincerely,
Ketr T. Stevens

Re: Woodland Bay
Lake Wylie
Gaston County
Dear Mr. Dorney:
FAX (704) 382-==29
Please find a master plan dated 9/27/00 which shows 6 boatslips along with shoreline stabilization.
This project, named Woodland Bay is a planned residential community in Gaston County, North
Carolina. It is situated on approximately 106 acres with a total of 10,956 linear feet of shoreline on
Lake Wylie. There will be no dredging associated with the boatslips, as we have placed them in
areas of greatest depth. These 6 boatslips will be assigned to those non-waterfront lots or waterfront
lots that are restricted from building their own private boatslip due to environmental /depth
constraints.
The shoreline stabilization areas are also shown on this map. The shoreline in these areas consist of
vertical banks (see attached photo) eroding into the lake. We plan to stabilize the shoreline from the
lake with the use of barges. The use of barges will eliminate the need to remove trees to gain access
to land. The shoreline will be stabilized with riprap and extend to the elevation of 572, which is 2'
above full pond. No shoreline stabilization is proposed within any wetland, environmental or impact
minimization areas.
Application is being made to Duke Power Company for permission to construct 6 boatslips. The
enclosed plan shows the locations of these boatslips as well as Duke Power's Shoreline Management
Plan shoreline classifications. You will notice that we have planned no boatslips anywhere near the
environmental areas.
We ask that you advise us, by return mail, of any comment that you may have concerning the
boatslips or of any permits your authority may require. Your comments are a requirement of the
permit process. Thank you for your cooperation and prompt response.
Please advise if additional information is required. I can be reached at [phone].
Sincerely,
t-y
