Dear Mr. Goosman:
Alan W. Klimek, P.E. Director
Division of Water Quality
DWQ Project # 07-0787

You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill
within or otherwise impact 0.0114 acres of open waters below the normal pool lake level and 0.0114
acres of open waters above the normal pool lake level, and impact 0.00 square feet of Zone 1 of the
Catawba River basin protected riparian buffer and 0.00 square feet of Zone 2 of the Catawba River basin
protected riparian buffer for the purpose of constructing rip-rap bulkhead along 140 feet of shoreline as
described within your application dated Apri123, 2007, and received by the N.C. Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) on May 7, 2007. After reviewing your application, we have decided that the impacts are
covered by General Water Quality Certification Number(s) 3639 (GC3639). The Certification(s) allows
you to use General Permit Number 30 when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE). 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, and
Non-discharge 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. If you change your
project, you must notify us and you maybe 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 1501inear 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.
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:

operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina
Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control
measures must be such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most
recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices
shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects,
including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the project.
c. Sufficient materials required for stabilization and/or repair of erosion control measures and
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
practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is
unavoidable, 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;
5. Certificate of Completion
Upon completion of all work approved within the 401 Water Quality Certification or applicable
Buffer Rules, and any subsequent modifications, the applicant is required to return the attached

stream impacts), you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that
