DWQ Project #: 02-1140
Approval Of 401 Quality Certification with
Additional Conditions and Catawba River Buffer Rules
Richard D. Whitney
1200 Ridgefield Boulevard, Suite 160
Asheville, NC 28806
Dear Mr. Whitney:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place rock in 0.005 acres of
waters for the purpose of bank stabilization at The Arbor, Phase II, Lot# 36 as you described in your
application dated July 16, 2002. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is
covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3373, which may be viewed on our website at
http•//h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. This certification allows you to use General Permit Number
198200030 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.
Michael F. Easley, Governor
William G. Ross Jr., Secretary
North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
Alan W. Klimek, P.E., Director
Division of Water Quality
1. Stormwater shall be directed as diffuse 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 rock to prevent further erosion of the property due to wave
action. The use of mechanical equipment on the beach must be minimized;

Certification has been completed. The responsible party shall complete the attached form and
return it to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the Division of Water Quality.
