You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill
within or otherwise impact 1212 square feet (0.028 acres) of open waters below normal pool lake level,
and 1212 square feet (0.028 acres) above normal pool lake level for the purpose of constructing a rip rap
bulkhead to stabilize 202 linear feet of shoreline at the subject property, as described within your
application dated September 25, 2008 and received by the N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on
October 14, 2008. After reviewing your application, we have decided that the impacts are covered by
General Water Quality Certification Number(s) 3693 (GC3693). The Certification(s) allows you to use
Nationwide Permit(s) 30 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. Also, this approval to proceed with your proposed impacts or to conduct impacts
to waters as depicted in your application shall expire upon expiration of the 404 or CAMA Permit.
This approval is 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 fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre of
wetland or 150 linear feet of stream, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A
NCAC 2H .0506 (h). This approval requires you to follow the conditions listed in the attached
certification and any additional conditions listed below.
The Additional Conditions of the Certification are:
