APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Mr. Jack Duncan
City of Raleigh
PO Box 590
Suite 608
Raleigh, NC 27602
Dear Mr. Duncan:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, for the
purpose of constructing a boat launch at Buffaloe Road, as you described in your application dated June 10,
1998. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this impact is covered by General Water Quality
Certification Number 3127. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 36 when it is
issued by the Corps of Engineers. In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before
you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Coastal
Stormwater, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This approval will expire when the
accompanying 404 or CAMA permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application except as
modified below. If you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new
application for a new certification. 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 wetland
fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as
described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the
conditions listed in the attached certification.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, 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 conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative
Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 276 1 1-7447. This certification and its conditions are final and
binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water
Act. If you have any questions, please telephone John Domey at 919-733-1786.

Attn: John Dorney

Raleigh, NC 27607
Dear Mr. Dorney:
Enclosed is permit application for a canoe launch on the Neuse River at Buffaloe Road.
We are interested in constructing this facility as quickly as possible. Please give it your
consideration.
In a conversation with Eric Allsmeyer of the US Army Corps of Engineers I suggested that
Nationwide Permit No. 36 - Boat Ramps - appears to be most appropriate for this gravel
foot path. This facility is intended for the launching and take out of canoes and kayaks. It
will not support trailered boats. Mr. Allsmeyer suggested that his office determine the
most appropriate permit.
If you have questions, please call me at [phone]
Sincerely,
David M. Shouse

The CONLOCK SYSTEMS are comprised of Conloch
Grids, Filter Fabric and an optional Internal Cable
Network (CONLOCK II is a non-cabled system). When
installed, CONLOCK becomes a stable, flexible and
permeable erosion control system with specific physical
and hydraulic characteristics.
CONLOCK is produced with multifunctional open areas
which can be backfilled with soil and vegetated. Solid
units, without open cells, can be used for deep tmderwa-
ter protection of pipelines, communication cables, or
when conditions are not conducive to establishing vege-
tation.
In and regions, open cell CONLOCK I blocks, can be
"drip irrigated" by utilizing the internal cable holes as
ducts for a plastic piping system. The open cells also pro-
vide for hydrostatic pressure relief and in special applica-
tions, can provide a stable planting bed for aquatic plant
life to help maintain the water oxygen levels much need-
ed for the support of our natural food chain as well as
water purity.
FLEXIBILITY VERSATILITY
CONLOCK's High System Articulation is achieved by
unique (vertical side wall) interlocking ears and socket
joints. CONLOCK I utilizes radiused Dovetail Joints while
CONLOCK II utilizes patented Slidabie type interlock
joints.
CONLOCK systems can be installed around shorelines to
form a continuous revetment mat without numerous cut
joints at changes in grade or turns. Even straight High
Angle Folds can be achieved with a quick, infield, modifi-
cation of the CONLOCK ear/socket joint without jeopar-
dizing system stability.

CABLED MATTRESS
CONLOCK I can be individually hand placed on
slopes with a permissible incline of up to 1:1; pre-
strung with cables and placed with a spreader bar
by crane; or hand placed and reinforced with re-bar
or cable after installation. Optional helix anchors
can be attached to the CONLOCK I cable network
for further protection against severe wave action.
ACCESS/SAFETY
I
Unlike rip-rap, the CONLOCK systems are free of
dangerous projections thus providing safe access for
maintenance or mowing equipment, pedestrians,
animals and vehicles.
