Dear Mr. Fisher:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill within or
otherwise impact approximately 0.0011 acres of waters and 280 square feet (fe) of protected riparian buffers for the
purpose of constructing a retaining wall to stabilize approximately 140 feet of shoreline, as described within your
application dated September 20, 2004. After reviewing your application, we have decided that the impacts are
covered by the N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) General Wate Quality Certification Number(s) 3373
(GC3373). The Certification(s) allows you to use Regional General hermit No. 198200030 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 .0243. 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 Duke Power regulations and permits. 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.
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:
Amount Approved (Units) Plan Location or Reference

2. Diffuse Flow
An additional condition is that all stormwater shall be directed as diffuse flow at non-erosive velocities
through the protected stream buffers and will not re-concentrate before discharging into the stream as
identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0243(5).
3. 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 Quality, 1650 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650.
4. Catawba Buffer Tree Protection
No trees shall be removed from Zone 1 of the Catawba Buffer unless they are directly within the
construction access corridor. If trees are removed, at least two species of native forested vegetation shall be
re-established within the construction access or other temporary impact area occurring in the protected
buffer zone within the next growing season following construction of the project.
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 as authorized by this Certification shall expire upon expiration of the 404 or CAMA
Permit.
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 the North Carolina General
Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This
certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
Any disputes over determinations regarding this Authorization Certificate (associated with the approved buffer
impacts) shall be referred in writing to the Director for a decision. The Director's decision is subject to review as
provided in Articles 3 and 4 of G.S. 150B.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act and the
Catawba riparian buffer protection rule as described within 15A NCAC 2B .0243. If you have any questions, please
