216 Shell Drive PERMIT
Sneads Ferry, NC 28460 y Subject Property: 216 Shell Drive, Sneads Ferry
Approval of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Silance:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below to install six
(6) single piling jet ski lifts, as described in your CAMA application dated July 6, 2011 and received by
the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) in the Wilmington Regional Office (WiRO) on July 6, 2011.
After reviewing your application, we have decided that the impacts are covered by General Water
Quality Certification Number 3642 (GC 3642). This Certification allows you to use the 404 permit
when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers and the CAMA Major Permit when issued by the
Division of Coastal Management. 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. The approved plans
and specifications for this project are incorporated by reference and are an enforceable part of the
permit. 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 on the following pages.

The Additional Conditions of the Certification are:
1. Impacts Approved
The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all of the other specific and general
conditions of this Certification (or Isolated Wetland Permit) are met. No other impacts are
approved including incidental impacts:
Amount Approved (Units) Plan Location or Reference
Open Waters
Incorporated
168 s ft
Sheet 1 of 3
Coastal wetlands N/A)
404/401 wetlands N/A
2. No Waste, Spoil, Solids, or Fill of Any Kind
No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas
beyond the footprint of the impacts depicted in the application. All construction activities,
including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion control

standards, statutes, or rules occur.
3. Turbidity Standard
The turbidity standard of 25 NTUs (Nephelometric Turbidity Units) shall not be exceeded as
described in 15 A NCAC 2B..0200. Appropriate sediment and erosion control practices must be
used to meet this standard. Turbidity curtains s hall be used as appropriate. Please notify this
Office if any turbidity issues arise at 910.796.7215
4. Closure of Shellfish Waters
The jet ski lifts may not be converted to boat slips without a modification of this permit and may
not be allowed to exceed the number of slips that would cause a closure of shellfishing waters.
The closure would be considered a Water Quality a violation of 15A NCAC 0213.0201(f) a
degradation of water quality standards and 15 NCAC 02B.0221(1) which is a loss of use of water
quality standards.
5. Primary Nursery Areas
Please understand that the waters around your project area have been identified by the Division
of Marine Fisheries as Primary Nursery Area (PNA). Should the need for dredging within the
proposed project area arise in the future, please be aware that new dredging within a PNA is not
allowed under 15A NCAC 02B .0221 and is a degradation of water quality standards and
therefore considered a water quality violation.
