Dear Mr. Wright:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill
within or otherwise impact approximately 0.004 acres of waters and 0.01 acres of protected riparian
buffers on Lake Hickory for the purpose of installing rip rap to stabilize approximately 102 feet of
shoreline, as described within your application dated August 28, 2003. After reviewing your application,
we have decided that the impacts are covered by the N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) General
Water Quality Certification Number(s) 3373 (GC3373). The Certification(s) allows you to use Regional
General Permit No. 198200030 when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE). This letter
shall also act as your approved Authorization Certificate for impacts to the protected riparian buffers per
15A NCAC 2B .0243. 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 and Duke Power regulations and permits. Also, this approval will expire
when the accompanying 404 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 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. For this approval to be valid, you must follow the
conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional conditions listed below.
