APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Clifton:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to conduct bank stabilization measures on 300
linear feet of the Linville River associated with the Island Stackwall Project in Avery County, as described in your modified
application received by the Division of Water Quality on November 21, 2003. After reviewing your application, we have
determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3399 which can be downloaded from our
web site at httr)://h2o.enr.state.nc.us. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 13 when issued by the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. 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, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed
regulations. You should send an application to the Division of Land Resources for their review of your project under dam
safety rules as well as erosion and sediment control. Also this approval will expire when the accompanying 404 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. 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 certification. If the
property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the 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). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the
conditions listed in the attached certification and the additional conditions listed below:
1. Equipment used in the streams shall be in good working order and be free of oil leaks and drips. Equipment
shall be checked daily for leaks and drips;
2. You are required to return the attached Certification of Completion form to notify DWQ when all work included in
the 401 Certification has been completed;
3. Throughout construction, upstream and downstream visual observation of stream conditions (for loss of sediment
to waters) shall be conducted during rainfall events equal to or greater than 0.5 inches. If turbidity exceeds those
required in 15 A NCAC 2B .0200, measure must be used to bring the project into compliance with this standard;
4. The stone wall shall not extend further into the lake than the existing timber retaining wall or ground surface. The
stone wall shall not be constructed to an elevation higher than the existing timber retaining wall;
5. The drawdown on the lake shall not result in a discharge of sediment to downstream receiving waters;
6. No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the footprint of
the impacts depicted in the Pre-construction Notice Application. All construction activities, including the design,
installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion control Best Management Practices, shall be
performed so that no violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur;

7. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper
design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect
surface waters standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control
Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures must be
such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina
Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow
sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the
project.
c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
8. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum extent
practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they
shall be removed and the natural grade restored within six months of the date that the Division of Land Resources
has released the project.
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, 6714 Mail Service Center,

STATEMENT OF FACT
1. How we draw down the lake - We have a 36" pipe placed through the
darn several feet from the lake bottom. We open the pipe value and
allow water to escape through the pipe and when we have the lake
lowered to the proper level, we reduce the out flow to equal the incoming
water to maintain the constant low water level.
2. Should we receive a 1/2-rain storm in a 24-hour period During January
we do not experience many if any rain ^ only snow. However, if it does
warm up enough and we do receive a rain storm, the lake will fll l up and
overflow over the spillway and during this process, all sediment and silk
will be caught in the lake and. will not be allowed to flow down stream.
Also, we will be constant vigil to insure no sediment escapes during this
process.

CERTIFIED MAIL
RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
Mr. Norris Clifton
Grandfather Golf & Country Club
Post Office Box 368

Subject: Additional Information Request
401 Water Quality Certification
Application Number: 03-1233
Status of Application: On Hold
Grandfather Golf & Country Club - Island Stackwall
Avery County
Dear Mr. Clifton:
The Division of Water Quality's Asheville Regional Office performed a site visit on November 4, 2003. At
the time of this site visit, it was determined that the proposed purpose of the work is not suitable. (Application
Item III, 11.) as no active erosion was observed at the site, this is not a suitable reason for a stabilization effort
on an otherwise stabile shoreline. Additionally, as the existing timber retaining walls are mostly of a sound
nature, it may be appropriate to apply to the Asheville Regulatory Office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
office for a "maintenance" permit for the replacement of the few decomposed timbers.
Should you wish to pursue this project, a revised application must be submitted, including an approvable
impact, a thoughtful discussion in regards to the impacts from the desired work (including habitat, land gain
/ losses, future instability due to a change in water velocity vectors, etc...), a thoughtful impact justification
(including the impacts / gains from not performing the work, from the addition of woody vegetation to the
stream banks, etc...), an approvable mitigation plan as the proposed impacts are greater than 300 linear feet.
Also, a discussion of stormwater management and treatment for the development should be included, as to how
stormwater will be managed during and after the desired construction activity.
As the submitted application is incomplete, you must submit seven copies of an updated application, along with
an approvable stormwater control plan, an approvable mitigation to my attention within 10 business days.
Failure to provide the requested information will result in the application package being returned as incomplete.

Permits, published in the Federal Register on Mardi 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to (he aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including sire and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptahdity of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
bill are not limited to: reducing the size of tic project; establishing and maultaumng wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as slrcams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
