Dear Mr. Irwin:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill within or
otherwise impact approximately 0.006 acres (244 sq. feet) of open water (Badin Lake) below the normal pool
lake level for the purpose of placing rip-rap as described in your application dated October 13, 2010, received
by the Division of Water Quality on October 19, 2010. We have determined that that these impacts are covered
by General Water Quality Certification No. 3693 (GC3693). This Certification allows you to use General
Permit Number 198200030 when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). In addition, you should
obtain or otherwise comply with any other required federal, state or local permits before you proceed with your
project including (but not limited to) Erosion and Sediment Control and Non-discharge regulations. Also, this
approval to proceed with your proposed project or to conduct impacts to waters as depicted in your
application shall expire upon expiration of the 404 Permit.
This approval is for the purpose and design that you described in your application. 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 fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre of wetland or 150 linear feet of
stream, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506(h). This approval
requires you to follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional conditions listed
below.

stormwater routing and treatment shall be on site at all times.
4. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum extent
