Subject: Shoreline Stabilization/Buffer Impact, Long Island Marina
APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and Authorization Certificate per the Catawba River Buffer
Protection Rules (15A NCAC 26 .0243) with Additional Conditions
Dear Sir or Madam:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill in
or to otherwise impact approximately 0.003 acre of waters and 0.03 acre of riparian buffer for the purpose of
impacting and stabilizing approximately 40 linear feet of shoreline on Lake Norman, as described in your After-
The-Fact preconstruction notification received on November 14, 2005. After reviewing your application, we
have determined that this project is covered by Water Quality General Certification Number 3492, which can
be viewed on our web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. The General Certification allows you to use
Regional Permit No. 198200030 once it is issued to you by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE).
This letter also serves as your approved Authorization Certificate for impacts to the protected riparian buffers
per 15A NCAC 2B .0243. 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. This approval, however, should not be construed as authorization to impact any part of the 50-foot
riparian buffer that currently exists on the main stem of the Catawba River under the Catawba River Buffer
Protection Rule (15A NCAC 26 .0243). If the total wetland fill for this project (now or in the future) exceeds
one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h).
In addition to the requirements of the certification, you must also comply with the following conditions:
1. During use and at the end of each working day, silt fence shall be installed to prevent sediment and other
particulate from entering the lake. Silt fence shall be maintained during use if at all possible.
2. Mulch or pine needles (6" deep) shall be placed in Zone 1 of the buffer when the site is to be shut down for
periods exceeding 10 working days.
3. Fuel containers and other potential contaminants shall be maintained at least 50 ft. from the shoreline.
