Dear Mr. Midgett:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill material within
or otherwise impact 0.024 acres of waters to construct a boat ramp and pier as described in your
application received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) 401 Oversight/Express Review

the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) General Water Quality Certification Number 3642 covers
these water impacts. This Certification allows you to General Permit No. 198000291 when

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. 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 21-1.0506 (h). This approval requires you to follow the
