Approval of 401 Water Quality Certification and Authorization Certificate per the Tar-Pamlico
River Buffer Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B.0259) with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Frederick:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill
within or otherwise impact 0.00585 acres of open waters below the normal pool lake level, 0.00195 acres
of open waters above the normal pool lake level, and 168 square feet (ft) of Zone 1 Tar-Pamlico River
basin protected riparian buffers and 0.00 square feet (ft) of Zone 2 Tar-Pamlico River basin protected
riparian buffers to construct n 85' bulkhead, 10' x 16' dock, and 12' x 24' boathouse, at the subject
property as described within your undated application which was received by the N.C. Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) on August 18, 2008. 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 General Permit Number 30 when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).
This letter shall also act as your approved Authorization Certificate for impacts to the protected riparian
buffers per 15A NCAC 213 .0259. 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, and Non-discharge 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. 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.
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:

Shoreline-bulkhead above the normal pool lake level -
0.00195 acres Application
Zone I TPBR Buffer Impacts 168 (square feet Application
Zone 2 TPBR Buffer Impacts 0.00 (square feet Application
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 Pre-Construction Notification. All construction
activities, including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion
control Best Management Practices, shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality
standards, statutes, or rules occur.
3. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing
the proper design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in
order to protect surface waters standards:
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. Sufficient materials required for stabilization and/or repair of erosion control measures and
stormwater routing and treatment shall be on site at all times.
Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters without prior approval
from the Division. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is
unavoidable, design and placement of temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a
manner that may result in dis-equilibrium of wetlands or stream beds or banks, adjacent to or upstream
and down stream of the above structures. All sediment and erosion control devices shall be removed
and the natural grade restored within two (2) months of the date that the Division of Land Resources or
locally delegated program has released the project;
5. Diffuse Flow (No Review)
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 discharging into a stream as identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (5). 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.
6. 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 Oversight/Express Review Permitting Unit, North Carolina
Division of Water Quality, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650.

If you do not accept any of the conditions of this Certification (associated with the approved wetland or
stream impacts), 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, which conforms to Chapter 150B of
