DWQ Project # 001516
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill material in 0.33 acres of waters for the purpose
of removing sediment and stabilizing a shoreline at Lot 16, Anchor Davis subdivision, as you described in your application dated
December 6, 2000. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification
Number 3280. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 030 when the Corps of Engineers issues it. 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. Also this approval will
expire when the accompanying 404 or CAJLa 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. If you change your project, you
must notify us and 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 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). For this approval to be valid. you
must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification. This approval shall expire when the corresponding Nationwide Permit
expires or as otherwise provided in the General 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 which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North
Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. 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.

PAYMENT
RECEIVED
As required by Yadkin, Inc. I am forwarding for your review a request for minor
reservoir and shoreline modification. I am including seven sets of information as
required, the US Corps of Engineers approval which was based on this identical
package of information, and the $200 application fee. I believe I have included all
requested information per the permit request form, copy attached. Please notify
me should you require additional information.
The request for dredging permit does not impact any wetland area, no area of
cultural significance, and is intended solely to maintain access to existing docks
where sedimentation buildup is currently threatening accessibility.
Alcoa has requested we provide them with written concurrence from your
department. Please return your written concurrence to the address below.
Thank you in advance,
Charles K. Hutchens

Resource Impact Accessment
No negative impact will be created for the High Rock Lake Basin. All excavation
will occur within winter months during low water periods. All excavation will be
performed in dry conditions, eliminating sedimentation runoff. The area for
proposed excavation consists totally of sedimentatious deposits which have built
up within the past 90 year period. No vegetation of any kind exists within the
limits of the proposed excavation. No fish habitat of any kind including physical
structure or topographic relief exists within the proposed excavation limits.
Plans and Schedule for Conductinq the Proposed Excavation
Proposed excavation is tentatively scheduled for commencement in January
pending receipt of permit. All excavation is scheduled for completion within a two-
week period after commencement based on discussions with the contractor.
Target date for construction is January 95, 2009
Communications:
All communications regarding the enclosed permit application should be

Description of Proposed Excavation for Charles K. Hutchens
Overview
The proposed excavation is a result of sedimentation buildup along the frontage
of and in the access channel to a lot owned and inhabited by Charles K.
Hutchens. Said property is described as lot 16, Anchor Downs Subdivision,
Providence Township, Rowan County, North Carolina.
Sedimentation buildup has resulted in a decreased water depth approaching the
main channel of High Rock Lake restricting access to a number of docks within
the cove. The buildup does not permit adequate drainage of the cove, and is
causing sedimentation deposits at an accelerated rate by modifying currents and
eddy's within the cove.
1 propose to excavate the sedimentatious buildup to allow proper drainage of the
cove and to restore boating access to existing dockage within the cove.
Material Removal
The total length of the proposed excavation is approximately 320 linear feet. At
the tie in point to the existing lake bed, the width of excavation will be
approximately 50 feet in width. The tie in point will be graded to match existing
contours, and to eliminate any dramatic grade variations, creating a smooth tie
in. The depth of sediment removal ranges from 0' at the beginning and ending
points of excavation to a maximum depth of approximately 2' at the point to
maximum sediment buildup. The estimated volume of spoils removal will be
approximately 160 Cubic Yards.

parcel of property he owns on Leonard Rd. off Longs Ferry Road, Rowan
County.
