Dear Mr. McMillan:

Please reference the application of Plantation Harbor Homeowners Association, Attention:
James Oppenheim and Rich Tobin for Department of the Army authorization and a State Water
Quality Certification to reconstruct and expand the existing boat ramp located in Clubfoot Creek
adjacent to the community property at 300 Augusta Court in the Plantation Harbor Subdivision
southeast of Havelock in Craven County, North Carolina. Your receipt of this letter verifies your
acceptance of a valid request for certification in accordance with Section 325.2(b)(ii) of our
administrative regulations.
We are considering authorizing the proposed activity pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act, and we have determined that a water quality certification is required under the
provisions of Section 401 of the same law. A Department of the Army permit will not be granted
until the certification has been obtained or waived.
In accordance with our administrative regulations, in most cases, 60 days after receipt of a
request for certification is a reasonable time for State action. Therefore, if you have not acted on
the request, or asked for an extension of time, by July 1, 2011, the District Engineer will deem
that waiver has occurred.
Questions or comments may be addressed to Tracey Wheeler, Washington Regulatory
Field Office, Regulatory Branch, telephone [phone].
Sincerely,

Tracey Wheeler
Regulatory Project Manager
