SUBJECT: Approval of 401 Water Quality and Additional
Conditions
7181 Carolina Beach Road
DWQ Project # 020535
New Hanover County
Dear Dr. Chase:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions (WQC # 3375) to conduct the following activity on
your 10.5 acre tract located at 7181 Carolina Beach Road in New Hanover County. This approval allows you to:
1). Fill 0.15 acre of wetland for an access road into your property off Carolina Beach Road;
2). Fill 34 square feet of wetland for an access road into your property from Inlet Watch.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your Pre-Construction Notification (PCN)
application received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) dated April 3, 2002 and the additional information letter
dated May 13, 2002. After reviewing your application, we have determined that General Water Quality Certification
Number 3375 covers this activity. These Certifications can also be found on line at:
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/certs.html. These Certifications allows you to use your 404 Permit (NW 14) when
the Corps of Engineers issues it. Please keep in mind that there may be additional Federal, State or Local regulations
applicable to your project, such as (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge and Water Supply
Watershed regulations and Coastal Stormwater. In addition, this approval will expire when the accompanying 404 Permit
expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
Please understand that if you change or modify your project, you must notify the Division (DWQ) 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 Certifications 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
certifications and the additional conditions listed below:
1). Placement of at least 4 culverts must be located in the 0.15 acre crossing site.. The culverts must be placed
below the elevation of the streambed to allow low flow passage of water and aquatic life:
2). The remaining wetlands need to be placed in a deed notification or conservation easement of some type. A
sample deed notification is located on our website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/download.html.
Please provide this Office with a copy of these documents after they have been recorded.
3). The attached Certificate of Completion (COC) must be submitted to the Division upon final construction
of the site.

Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This certification and its conditions are final and binding
unless you ask for a hearing.

wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. The applicant must also
provide justification for these impacts in Section VII below. All proposed impacts, permanent
and temporary, must be listed herein, and must be clearly identifiable on an accompanying site
plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) must be shown on a
delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems. Wetland and stream
evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate. Photographs may be
included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for wetland or stream

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.

required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above: All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ

Dear Dr. Chase:
This Office has reviewed your application and has conducted a site visit and is placing your project on hold until
we receive the following additional information:
1) An overall site plan that shows avoidance and minimization for wetland impacts for the
second road crossing into Inlet Watch. (Why is the second crossing necessary with respect to
impacts to wetlands?)
2) Restrictive covenants are to be placed on remaining wetlands. A sample deed notification is
located on our website at http:Hh2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwet]ands/download.htmi.
es and within three weeks of the date of this letter by sending a copy of the information to myself and to
eigh Wetlands Unit [phone]. If we do not hear from you within three weeks, we will assume
;er want to pursue this project and we will consider the project as withdrawn. If you have any questions,
to call me at [phone].
