Dear Mr. Hillard:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to impact 0.034 acres of waters
for the purpose of excavation for boat ramp at River Country on High Rock Lake as you described in
your application dated August 27, 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 htti):Hh2o.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.
1. 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 401/Wetlands Unit of the Division of Water Quality.
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
