Jackson County
Approval of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Messers White and Vizzini:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed
below, to place fill within or otherwise impact 55 linear feet of shoreline of lake Glenville
for the purpose of shoreline stabilization at the subject property, as described within
your application received by the N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on December 3,
2007. After reviewing your application, we have decided that the impacts are covered
by General Water Quality Certification Number(s) 3693 (GC3693). The Certification(s)
allows you to use Permit(s) GP30 when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers
(USAGE). 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, Water Supply Water Shed
Buffers, and trout buffer 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 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. 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 below.

a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be
designed, installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with the most
recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning
and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and
erosion control measures must be such that they equal, or exceed, the
requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina
Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on
all construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including
contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the project.
c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be
designed, installed, operated, .and maintained in accordance with the most
recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.

4. No Sediment & Erosion Control Measures w/n Wetlands or Waters
Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters
to the maximum extent practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control
devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall be removed and the
natural grade restored within six months of the date that the Division of Land
Resources has released the project.
5. Certificate of Completion
Upon completion of all work approved within the 401 Water Quality Certification
or applicable Buffer Rules, and any subsequent modifications, the applicant is
required to return the attached certificate of completion to the 401/Wetlands Unit,
North Carolina Division of Water Ouality, 1650 Mail Service Center, FZaleigh, NC,
27699-1650.
6. Drystack wall and Riprap Installation
The Dry Stack wall shall be placed landward of the existing shoreline and riprap
applied at the water /land interface (at full pool). Riprap shall be placed as a
linear protective measure upon the regraded slopes: Stone used in stabilization
shall be a random size, varying from Class B riprap up to 6 feet in diameter to
provide additional wildlife habitat. All exposed soils above the Riprap stabilized
area shall be replanted in accordance with the attached Guidelines for Riparian
Buffer Restoration.
7. Heavy Equipment
Heavy equipment should be operated from the bank whenever possible. All
mechanized equipment operated near surface waters should be inspected and
maintained regularly to prevent contamination of stream waters from fuels,
lubricants, hydraulic fluids or other toxic materials. Equipment used in stream
channel must be clean, new or low hour equipment.
8. Diffuse Flow
All constructed stormwater conveyance outlets shall be directed and maintained
as diffuse flow at non-erosive velocities through the protected stream buffers
such that it will not re-concentrate before being discharged. If this is not possible,
it may be necessary to provide stormwater facilities that are considered to
remove nitrogen. This may require additional approval from this Office.

Disturbed banks and a 30-foot vegetated zone, must be restored along the
shoreline to natural riparian conditions with native trees and shrubs (e.g., silky
dogwood, rhododendron, dog hobble, red maple, silky willow, tag alder, black
willow, sycamore) to provide long-term bank stability and stream shading. Note,
silky dogwood, silky willow and black willow can be planted as live stakes
collected during the dormant growing season. Cuttings should be randomly
planted on four (4) foot centers from the waters edge to the top of the bank.
Trees should be planted on ten (10) to twelve (12) foot centers. Stream banks in
these areas should also be seeded with a native annual and perennial seed mix
with a temporary nursery crop of wheat, millet or other grain.
9. No Impacts Beyond those in Application
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 Pre-
construction Notification. All construction activities, including the design,
installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion control E3est
Management Practices, shall be performed so that no violations of state water
quality standards, statutes, or rules occur.
10. Deed Notifications
Deed Notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all retained
jurisdictional wetlands, waters and protective buffers in order to assure
compliance for future wetland, water and buffer impact. These mechanisms shall
be put in place prior to impacting any wetlands, waters and/or buffers approved
for impact under this Certification Approval and Authorization Certificate. A
sample deed notification can be downloaded from the 401/Wetlands Unit web
site at htt~://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. The test of the sample deed notification
may be modified as appropriate to suit this project.
11. Concrete
All Concrete used in this project shall be pre-cast and cured on land prior to
placing on the lake bottom as to prevent the leaching of caustic materials in to
the water.
Violations of any condition herein set forth may result in revocation of this Certification
and may result in criminal and/or civil penalties. The authorization to proceed with your
proposed impacts or to conduct impacts to waters as depicted in your application and
