Subject Property: NCWRC Sneads Ferry Boating Access Area
312 Fulchers Landing Loop Rd., Sneads Ferry
Approval of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Ms. Sherman:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below to construct a
public boating access area, mark the adjacent channels with red and green buoys and construct the
associated amenities of the boat ramp, as described in your CAMA application dated August 29, 2011
and received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) in the Wilmington Regional Office (WiRO) on
August 29, 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.

months of the date that the Division of Land Resources or locally delegated program has released

6. Construction Stormwater Permit NCGO10000
Upon the approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan issued by the Division of Land
Resources (DLR) or a DLR delegated local erosion and sedimentation control program, an
NPDES General stormwater permit (NCGO10000) administered by DWQ is automatically issued
to the project. This General Permit allows stormwater to be discharged during land disturbing
construction activities as stipulated by conditions in the permit. If your project is covered by
this permit [applicable to construction projects that disturb one (1) or more acres], full
compliance with permit conditions including the sedimentation control plan, self-monitoring,
record keeping and reporting requirements are required.
7. SAVs
Please note that the area surrounding the proposed boat ramp contains submerged aquatic
vegetation (SAVs). No impacts to SAVs are authorized by this certification outside the
maintenance of the proposed access channel in the project area.
