Subject Property: Jones Island Oyster and Marsh Habitat Restoration Phase 111, Swansboro
Approval of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Donnelly:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below to construct a series of
sills/oyster reefs, as described in your CAMA application dated July 6, 2011 and received by the Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) in the Wilmington Regional Office (WiRO) on July 26, 2011. After reviewing your
application, we have decided that the impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3642
(GC 3642). This Certification allows you to use the 404 permit when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers
and the CAMA Major Permit when issued by the Division of Coastal Management. In addition, you should
obtain or otherwise comply with any other required federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your
project including (but not limited to) Erosion and Sediment Control, Non-discharge, and stormwater regulations.
Also, this approval to proceed with your proposed impacts or to conduct impacts to waters as depicted in
your application shall expire upon expiration of the 404 or CAMA Permit.
This approval is for the purpose and design that you described in your application. The approved plans and
specifications for this project are incorporated by reference and are an enforceable part of the permit. 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 on the following pages.
The Additional Conditions of the Certification are:
1. Impacts Approved
The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all of the other specific and general conditions of
this Certification (or Isolated Wetland Permit) are met. No other impacts are approved including
incidental impacts:

remedial action plan, at a minimum, must describe the failure, the source or reason for the failure, a
concise description of the corrective measures that are proposed, and a timeframe for the implementation
of the corrective measures.
6. At the end of the 5th year of monitoring, the permitee shall notify the DWQ in writing. If it is determined
that the project is failing, the permitee shall be given the opportunity to express their intensions in writing
regarding the future of the project. Should the permitee no longer wish to maintain the project pursuant to
the oyster reef restoration plan, at the permitee's expense, all materials shall be removed for placement
on approved upland disposal site. Pre-project elevations and contours shall be restored to the effected
area(s).
7. A monitoring report will be required to be provided to the DWQ by December 31" of each monitoring
year and will be required for a minimum of five (5) years. The reports will be sent to the Wilmington
Regional Office at the address of this letter and to the NCDENR Wetlands Stormwater Branch 1650 Mail
