Mike:
Sorry for the delay.
Here are my comments.
020179 - Deck shown in sketch must be water dependent in order to be
constructed within the specified water supply watershed setback (buffer
requirement). From the sketch it is difficult to determine whether the deck is
within the minimum setback. The sketch indicates a deck at 100 sf. A deck is
not a water dependent structure by definition, therefore we ask that the deck
be placed outside of the minimum water supply watershed setback as defined in
the local ordinance for the lake. If the deck serves as access to the walkway,
we request that the deck be sized to no larger than needed to provide this
accessibility, and the deck must remain uncovered.
020157 - No comment
020168 - No comment - Lake James is not a WS Watershed, however, the county has
established ordinances to better protect the lake. The 8' foot pathway is
larger than would be allowed in WS watersheds, and the applicant should check
with the local government to determine if the pathway plans are consistent with
local ordinances.
011492 - Please notify us when final plans come in.
020129 - Road crossings do not appear to have been avoided or minimized. These
are public roads, I presume, therefore they should reduce all avoidable impacts
to the buffer areas and stream features. In addition, the NC DOT allows for
road widths to be reduced when the TND road guidelines are utilized. If the
roads have not been designed using these standards, then the applicant should
consider utilizing these guidelines to help reduce stream crossing impacts.
Additionally, I am interested in whether bottomless culverts could be utilized
on the stream crossing to minimized disturbance of channels. (See Designing
Highway Culverts That Do Not Impede the Movements of Resident Fish Species
http://www.usroads.com/journals/p/rej/9711/re971102.htm for more information.)
020221 - No comment - I guess now is the time to dredge, although he may need
to dredge deeper, as it looks like it will be a dry summer.
020222 - The site doesn't appear to have a stabilzation need, therefore we
question whether a stabilization of the stream (lake) bank is necessary. We
recommend, as this shoreline illustrates a very gradual slope utilizing a lower
impact stabilization technique, perhaps incorporating a sandy beach style
shoreline, as opposed to the harder structure "seawall with backfill" as
proposed. In addition, the pictures attached to the application indicate that
gravel (rock) has been deposited within the water supply watershed protection
buffer setback zone associated with Lake Norman. The rules state that no new
impervious surfaces are allowed within this zone, and specifically mentions
gravel being an impervious surface. The material illustrated in the pictures
should be relocated outside of the minimum water supply setback zone so as to
be consistent with the state rules regarding water supply watershed protection.
020240 an 0202 2 - DOT project (and DOT projects in general. The roads
appear to be er than is necessary. The DOT should explore the use of their
own TND Road Guidelines to determine if the reduction in street width proposed
in the TND guideline manual could be utilized in these locations. Reducing
I of 2 2/25/02 1:01 PM
401 s for February

impervious surfaces is a goal of the water supply watershed protection program
and in all the DOT project submitted for review, there appear to be
opportunities for reducing the water quality impacts associated with roads that
are too wide and have more covered surfaces than is necessary.
I have no comments on the other projects.
Thanks for the chance to review the projects.
Sincerely,
Milt Rhodes

APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and Catawba River Buffer Rules with Additional Condition
Dear Mr. Pratt:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill in 0.01 acre of waters in order to
stabilize the shoreline on your property on Lake Norman in Catawba County, as you described in your application received
by the Division of Water Quality on February 11, 2002, except as modified below. 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
htto://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands . 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 and the additional conditions listed below:
1. 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, 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;
2. This project is for the installation of a stone bulkhead to prevent further erosion of the property due to wave action.
The use of mechanical equipment on the beach must be minimized;
3. Equipment and materials may be offloaded to the beach at the bulkhead site, but steps must be taken to keep all
equipment out of the reservoir.
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 at
919-733-9721.
