Gastonia, NC 28054
Subject: Lot #9, Highland Ridge, Shoreline Stabilization, Moss Lake
APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. James:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill in
or to otherwise impact approximately 0.013 acre of waters for the purpose of stabilizing approximately 90 linear
feet of shoreline on Moss Lake, as described in your application received on March 17, 2009. After reviewing
your application, we have determined that this project is covered by Water Quality General Certification
Number 3693, which can be viewed on our web site at http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/ws. The General
Certification allows you to use Regional Permit 198200030 once it is issued to you by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACOE). Please note that you should get any other federal, state or local permits before
proceeding with your project, including those required by (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control,
Non-Discharge, and Water Supply Watershed regulations.
The above noted Certification will expire when the associated USACOE's 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.
In addition to the requirements of the certification, you must also comply with the following conditions:
1. All storm water shall be directed as diffuse flow at non-erosive velocities through and will not re-concentrate
before discharging into the lake/stream as identified.
2. Impacts along the shoreline shall be kept to a minimum and the natural habitat preserved to the maximum
extent practicable. The removal of trees reduce uptake of pollutants entering the waters of the state.
3. Upon completion of the project, the applicant/responsible party shall complete and return the enclosed
"Certificate of Completion" form to the Division of Water Quality's 401/Wetlands Unit.
