APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. MacFarland:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to excavate and place fill in 0.10 acre of waters in order to
stabilize the shoreline on your property on Lake Glenville in Jackson County, as you described in your application received by the Division
of Water Quality on February 15, 2002. 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. 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. This project is for the installation of a rip rap bulkhead to prevent further erosion of the property due to wave action. The use of
mechanical equipment on the beach must be minimized;
2. 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 Mike Parker in DWQ's Asheville Regional Office at 828-251-6208 or Cyndi Karoly at 919-733-9721.

Re: Richard B. MacFarland - Lake Glenville Project Section 404 Permit and
Section 401 Water Quality Certification
Gentlemen:
I enclose an application for an Army Corp of Engineers Permit and a Section 401
Certification from the State of North Carolina, Department of Environmental and Natural
Resources, Division of Water Quality. I enclose with my application a general vicinity map,
detailed instructions on locating my property and a site plan showing the layout of my residence
and the proposed improvements. The proposed improvements consist of a set of steps constructed
as part of a rip rap retaining wall approximately 100 feet in width along the shoreline of Lake
Glenville, Jackson County, North Carolina. The rip rap retaining wall is planned to be constructed
to control substantial shore erosion that has existed for the past many years. Several trees have
been lost in the area of the shoreline and the proposed construction will stabilize the shoreline and
prevent further bank erosion.
I enclose seven copies of the application to the State of North Carolina Division of Water
Quality and my check in the amount of $200 in payment of the applicable fee due for this
application.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any _ uestions. Thank
B. MacFarland

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.
Page 9 of 12
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/ncwetlands/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.
N/A
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at hqp://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/M/index.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): N/A
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet):
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
