APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and Catawba River Buffer Rules
Dear Mr. And Ms. Beaty:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill in 0.02 acre of waters in order to
stabilize the shoreline on your property on Mountain Island Lake in Mecklenburg County, as you described in your
application received by the Division of Water Quality on September 4, 2001. After reviewing your application, we have
decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3280, which can be viewed on our web site at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetiands . This Certification allows you to use Regional Permit Number 198200030 when the
Corps of Engineers issues it. This approval is also valid for the Catawba River Mainstem and Lake Buffer Protection Rule
(15A NCAC 2B .0243). 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 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 in writing 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. 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 Pete Colwell in DWQ's Mooresville Regional Office at 704-663-1699 or Cyndi Karoly in
Raleigh at 919-733-9721.

CERTIFIED MAIL-REQUEST RECEIPT REQUESTED
James and Brenda Beaty
2315 Meffert Lane
Charlotte, NC 28214
Dear Mr. & Ms. Beaty:
On September 4, 2001, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) was notified by receipt of you applications
regarding you plans to impact and unspecific length (and area) of shoreline on Mountain Island Lake at 2315
Meffert Lane for the purpose of stabilizing the shoreline of your lot in Mecklenburg County. Approval from DWQ
if required to impact these waters. Please provide seven copies of the following information and refer to the
DWQ number listed above in your reply.
1. The location and areas of the proposed shoreline stabilization measures must be shown on map
2. Also the Catawba River buffer rules became effective on June 30, 2001 and allow shoreline stabilization
measures within the protected buffers along Mountain Island Lake. We are concerned that construction
of these shoreline stabilization measures will result in excessive impact to the protected buffers. Please
provide details on how you plan to install these shoreline stabilization measures, what measures you will
take to minimize impact to the buffers and then how and when you plan to replant the unavoidably
impacted portions of these buffers.
Please telephone Bob Zarzecki [phone], Todd St John [phone] or me at 919-733-9646 if
you have any questions or would require copies of our rules or procedural materials. This project will remain on
hold as incomplete in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0505(c). The processing time for this application will
begin when this information is received. If we do not hear from you by writing within three (3) weeks we will
assume you no longer want to pursue the project and will consider it withdrawn.
Sincerely Yours,
Z?L

VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwettands/strmgide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.

The 1998 North Carolina General Assembly adopted fees for the 401 Water
Quality Certification Program effective January 1, 1999 (see attached)
(Section 143-215.3D(e)]. Fees for "Major Water Quality Certification"
(defined as those with greater than or equal to one acre of wetland or
water fill or equal to 150 feet of stream impact) will have a fee of
$475.00. "Minor Water Quality Certifications" (defined as less than one
acre of wetland or less than 150 feet of stream impact) will have a fee of
$200.00. Any applications received by DWQ after January 1, 1999 must be
accompanied by a check for the required amount. If payment is not included
with a request for a Nationwide Permit, the application will be. returned
to the applicant as incomplete. If the correct payment is not included
with an Individual 404/401 or a CAMA Permit Application. a project file
will be created, but the applicant will receive a letter informing them
that the project will not be processed until the full payment is provided.
Checks should be made out to the N.C. Division of Water Quality.
You should be aware of these additional provisions of this new requirement.
REQUIREMENTS
• Changes to an existing 401 Water Quality Certification require a full
new Certification by DWQ. Additionally, any 401 Certification that is
requested to be renewed, as a result of the work not being completed
prior to the expiration date, also results in a full issuance of a new
Certification. A fee is required with each issuance.
• Due to the requirement for fee payment for each request, applicants are
advised to include as many project details and phases as possible in the
initial application.
• If a project requires a CAIMA permit and its associated fee, a payment
for the 401 Certification request is still required.
• No refunds will be issued for denied, modified or withdrawn
certification requests. If DWQ or the Corps of Engineers retires a
project due to insufficient or inaccurate information, no refunds will '
be issued.
.L A a
• Payment must be made in full.
• Nationwide Permits for minor wetland impacts or those wit4out wetland
stream fill that do not require written approval of the 401 Water ..;
Quality Certification do not require payment of the fee. If an.applicant.,
still chooses to submit an application in order to have written approval,
to file with their project records, then .the- payment is^required if
wetland or stream fill is involved
"?'t?.+?. `s.;?'? ? 1 ? .? t.. - M1"'F :?? ?F; r?f K -r •! ?h '`3???j?S?"??{?$ '?

0 Receipts for fees will only be sent upon written request.
Also please be aware that the Division considers stream impact to be length
rather than area in all cases regardless of Individual versus Nationwide permit
status or significant versus insignificant channel. This has been DWQ's policy
since February 1997 but recently some confusion has developed with some
applicants.
Please call Mr. John Dorney at [phone] if you have any questions
about Certification fees or the stream length versus area.

Quality - North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources. For

RE: DWQ# 011324
Dear Mr. St John;
Thank you for your time today in explaining to me what your
department needs in order to approve our request for stabilization
of our shoreline at the above address.
I spoke with both of the people we have received quotes from
to find out exactly what they do. They both remembered the
property. Duke Power lowers Mountain Island Lake starting in
October so repairs,,etc., can be done on the lake. Neither of
these people expect to actually "be in the water" to perform
the work. They will put up a "buffer" so any muck will not be
able to go back into the lake (retention fabric)if needed.
They will work from the land with a small back hoe to trench
about 8"down and set #51 crushed stone for the gravel footer.
Then they put the first course of block all around the area
and :la.y:.the:..8xl8" blocks up from that base. They back fill
with the same kind of crushed stone up to about 4" from the top
stone and then put in fill in dirt enough for a good,stand of
grass to be grown. Total should be no more than 40" from baseline.
On our property they will go around two trees so they.can be saved.
We don't expect this all to be but 2-3 feet from the shoreline,
all inclusive.
By doing this retainer wall we will.build up the buffer to minimize
any runoff going into the lake. We will plant grass and-this will
allow the rainwater to soak in rather than run into the lake.
We will use only a Duke Power approved contractor for this job to
be sure that the work is performed in compliance with standards set.

Q 002
Todd St John RE : DWQ# 01.i--T24
Following is a copy of our recent survey for this property.
The "wood shed" is no longer there. We have marked approximately
where the two trees are and where the stabilization will be.
If you have any questions about this, please give us a call
at 704/375-9222 (7am-6pm) or home 704/847-1416.
Thanks again for considering our proposal. We can assure
you we only want to IMPROVE this property„ and will do everything
in our power to stay within regulations in doing so.
Sincerkly,
and -renc'l-,T'Beaty
Encls. (Survey)
PS - Our FA-x: at work is 704/375--7534. Please advise also if
you need the "hard copy" of this letter and survey in 7 copies
as stated in Mr. Dorney'.s letter of 9/19/01. Thanks again.
ALSO NOTE: As discussed our property adjoins Request DWQ#011323
for Richard Beaty at 2321 Meffert Lane and the stabilization wall
will be done by the same people and the same way. His survey
was not available today, but we will fax that tomorrow to your
attention.
