APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Dear Mr. Caccia:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions. to construct the Little Creek Access Area upgrade on Lake Norman
in Lincoln County, as you described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality on January 25, 2001. After reviewing,
your application, we have decided that this till is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3280. This Certification allows you
to use Regional Permit Number 198200030 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 Stotmwater, Non-
Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also this approval will expire when the accompanying 404 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 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 the 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.
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. 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 Dorney at 919-733-9646.

LITTLE CREEK ACCESS AREA
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
January 15, 2001
Duke Power proposes to construct a new boat launching area at the
Little Creek Access Area provided for the general public at the
Lake Norman Hydro Project. The project is located in Lincoln
County, North Carolina on Burton Lane.
CURRENT CONDITION OF SITE
The site currently has a small paved parking lot and one boat
ramp. The existing ramp is located on the end of the point. The
site includes 8.133 acres.
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
Remove existing ramp, install 2 new boat ramps, 1 loading pier,
and expand paved parking lot to 59 parking spaces with lights.
Construction activities are not planned to start in spring of
2001.
The scope of this project will include:
- Installation and removal of erosion control devices
- Removal of existing boat ramp.
- Clearing and removal of debris as necessary to accommodate
project layout.
- Expand parking lot to a total of 59 parking spaces. Existing
area will be repaved and expanded parking area will be graded,
graveled and paved to sustain light duty traffic. Asphalt
curbing shall be.placed along the turnaround and the parking
lot edge.
- Preparation of ramp bed for (2) 100 foot long boat ramps with
class B riprap (five inch to 15 inch diameter stone).
- Installation of (2) 100-foot concrete boat ramps. Ramps
expected to be constructed of 7-inch thick reinforced concrete
mat with curbing to specified dimensions.
- Installation of 30 foot long by six inch thick concrete apron
to adjoin boat ramps with concrete curb extending from ramp to
edge of concrete apron.
- Installation of (1) 100 foot long loading pier and concrete
pier abutment for access. Pier shall be located between the
concrete ramps.
- Finish grading and grassing and/or rocking of edges along
entrance road and parking lot, shoreline and other structural
components to establish natural erosion control.
