Dear Mr. Pebbles:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill within or
otherwise impact approximately 0.011 acres (480 sq. feet) of open water (Lake Tillery) below the normal pool
lake level for the purpose of placement of rip rap for shoreline stabilization as described in your application
received by the Division of Water Quality on October 21, 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

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.
