APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and Authorization Certificate per the Catawba River
Buffer Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B.0243) with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Wagner:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill in
or to otherwise impact approximately 0.01 acre of waters and 0.005 acre of protected riparian buffers for the
purpose of constructing a seawall along approximately 100 linear feet of shoreline on Lake Wylie, as described
in your application received on January 27, 2004. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this
project is covered by Water Quality General Certification Number 3373, which can be viewed on our web site at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. The General Certification allows you to use the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACOE) Regional Permit No. 198200030 when issued. 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.
This Certification will expire when the associated 404 permit issued by the USACOE 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, as well as
the additional conditions listed below:
1. All stormwater shall be directed as diffuse flow at non-erosive velocities through the protected stream buffers
so as not to re-concentrate before discharging into the stream (as identified in 15A NCAC 2B .0243 (5)).
2. No trees are to be removed (unless approved) from the buffer, and impacts to the ground cover shall be kept
to a minimum during the construction of the seawall.
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.
