APPROVAL of Catawba River Buffer Rules with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Ledbetter:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill in 0.02 acre of waters of Lake James in McDowell
County, as you described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality on August 27, 2002. 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.
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 approval. If the property is sold, the new owner must
be given a copy of the 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 of the Catawba Buffer Rules and the additional conditions listed below:
1. No trees greater than 6 inches diameter at the stump may be removed except for those directly within the construction 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. You are required to return the attached Certification of Completion form to notify DWO when all work included in the approval
has been completed.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this approval, 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, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This approval 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.
Questions regarding the Catawba Buffer Rules should be directed to Bob Zarzecki at 919-733-9726.

Comments:
Site inspection conducted on 10/07/02. Rig rap has already been installed, and connects to existing
block wall. Application says no trees will be removed. There are only 15 large trees left between
the house and lake. Also, an access road approximately 200 feet long was constructed to the lake.
There appears to be a violation of the Catawba buffer rules because of tree removal,
