APPROVAL OF 401Quality Certification with
ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS and Catawba River Buffer Rules
Lanny L McNeely
111 Riverbend Club Pointe
Granite Falls, NC 28630
Dear Mr. McNeely:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place riprap along the
shoreline at 111 Riverbend Club Pointe in .032 acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose of shoreline
stabilization as you described in your application dated April 1, 2002. After reviewing your
application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number
3376, which may be viewed on our website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. This certification
allows you to use General Permit Number 30 when the Corps of Engineers issues it. This approval is
also valid for the Catawba River buffer rules (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. This approval will expire when the accompanying 404 or CAMA 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
except as modified below. If you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to
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) (6) and (7). This approval shall expire when the
corresponding Nationwide Permit expires or as otherwise provided in the General Certification. For this
approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any
additional conditions listed below.
1. Stormwater shall be directed to flow at non-erosive velocities across the entire protected stream
buffers;
2. 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, at least two species of native 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;

3. This project is for the installation of a bulkhead to prevent further erosion of the property due
to wave action. The use of mechanical equipment on the beach must be minimized;
4. 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;
5. Any disturbance within 50 feet of the shoreline must be done in compliance with the Catawba
River buffer rules;
6. Upon completion of the project, the applicant shall complete and return the enclosed
"Certification of Completion Form" to notify DWQ that all the work included in the 401
Certification has been completed. The responsible party shall complete the attached form and
return it to the 40lfWetlands Unit of the Division of Water Quality.
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.

Water Act. If you have any questions, please telephone John Dorney at 919-733-1786 or Mike Parker at
