APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Swanner:
November 8, 2012
DWQ# 12 -1012
Wilkes County
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill within, or otherwise impact
85 linear feet of lake shoreline for the purpose of stabilizing an eroding shoreline on Kerr Scott Reservoir at
your property on Wyndham Lane, new Wilkesboro NC in Wilkes County, as described in your application
received by the Division of Water Quality on November 6, 2012. After reviewing your application, we have
determined that this activity is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3898, which can be
viewed on our web site at httv://www.ncwateEguality.orgtncwetlands/rd wetlands certifications htm. This
Certification allows you to use Regional General Permit Number 198200080 when it is issued by the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers. In addition, you should secure any other applicable federal, state or local permits
before you proceed with your project, including (but not limited to) those required by Sediment and Erosion
Control, Non - Discharge, and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also, this approval will expire when the
accompanying 404 permit (Regional General Permit) expires unless otherwise specified in the General
Certification.
This approval is valid only for the purpose and design that you have described in your application. If you
change your project, you must notify us in writing, and you may be required to send us a new application for a
new certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the Certification and
approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total fill for this project (now
or in the future) exceeds one acre of wetland or 150 linear feet of stream, compensatory mitigation may be
required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the
conditions listed in the attached certification, as well as the additional conditions listed below:
1. The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all other specific and general conditions of the
Certification are met. No other impacts, including incidental impacts, are approved:

2. Appropriate sediment and erosion control measures which equal or exceed those outlined in the most
recent version of the North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual or the
North Carolina Surface Mining Manual (available from the Division of Land Resources at NCDENR
regional offices or the central office), whichever is more appropriate, shall be designed, installed and
maintained properly to assure compliance with the North Carolina water quality standards that are
applicable to lakes and reservoirs. These measures must be maintained on all construction sites, borrow
sites, and waste pile (spoil) sites, including contractor owned and leased borrow pits, which are
associated with the project. _
3. 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 measures in wetlands or waters is
unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored within six months of the date that the
project is completed or, if applicable, within six months of the date that the project is released by the
North Carolina Division of Land Resources.
4. No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the
footprint of the impacts depicted in the Pre - Construction Notification. All construction activities,
including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion control "Best
Management Practices" shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality standards,
statutes, or rules occur.
5. Upon finishing the project, the Applicant shall fill out and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been completed.
This certificate should be returned to the Winston -Salem Regional Office of the NC Division of Water
Quality at the address listed on the form.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You
must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition
which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative
Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699 -6714. This certification and its conditions are final
and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act.
