APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Mr. Harold Yopp
PO Box 1036
Sneads Ferry, NC 28460
Dear Mr. Yopp:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, for the
purpose of constructing a boat house, as you described in your application dated May 22, 1998. After
reviewing your application, we have decided that this impact is covered by General Water Quality
Certification Number 3112. 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. 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 except as
modified below. If you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new
application for a new certification. 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) (6) and (7). 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 conforming 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 Dorney at 919-733-1786.

Creek to the New River in Onslow County. The basin has several commercial fishing operations located
around its' perimeter. The project is accessed byroad from SR 1541(Fulcher's' Landing Road) from which

Hurricane Fran in 1996 there are also two building on the applicant's high ground [(40'x 20') and (16'x 13')]
as well as an existing pier (3'x 20') which is need of repair. The applicants delayed repair on their property

limit that can be authorized by the general permit process. The applicants are proposing to replace the roof
and repair or rebuild the damaged boat shed. The dimensions of the finished structure will be
approximately 44'x 20'. Covered dockage for four boats will be provided. The applicants also propose
to construct a 10'x 16' shelter addition to the existing 40'x 20' high ground building. Finally the applicants
propose to repair or replace the existing pier. The waters of Wheeler Creek are designated as a primary
nursery area by the NC Division of Marine Fisheries are classified as SA waters by the Division of Water
Quality and are closed to the taking of shellfish by the NC Shellfish Sanitation Section.

area which was damaged by Hurricane Fran in 1996. The applicant uses these facilities to engage in a
