APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Mr. Robert Charlton

PO Box 1805
Cashiers, NC 28717
Dear Mr. Charlton:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to dredge spoil material from 0.7acres of waters
for the purpose of deepening parts of an existing lake at Cedar Creek Racquet Club, as you described in your application
dated November 12 1997. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water
Quality Certification Number 3108. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 26 when it is issued
by the Corps of Engineers. 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 you may be required to send us a new application. 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.
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 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you
have any questions, please telephone John Dorney at 919-733-1786.
Sincgrely,
U "

executed application for this project and a drawing depicting the proposed activities.
Also enclosed is a copy of the project completed in 1994 plus a drawing.

of track equipment. We will be using the same contractor who completed this project in
1994. The rtion of the lake re uirin silt removal ' a roxim%ely.5 res in area. The
lake level will be drawn down prior to any material being removed from the lake bed. Silt
will be removed in the affected area to an average depth of 3.5 to 4 feet. We are
proposing to place the silt material taken from the lake bed on the shore near the point of
removal. This material will then be spread and seeded. The area where the material is
placed will be encircled with silt fencing, silt fence material to be MIRAF I 100K, or
equal.
