Dear Mr. Baker:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to
place fill within or otherwise permanently impact 210 square feet of open water below the
normal pool lake level and 1,800 square feet above the normal pool lake level, as described
within your application, received by the N.C. Division of Water Quality (Division) on November
2, 2012. After reviewing your application, we have decided that the impacts are covered by
General Water Quality Certification Number(s) 3898 (GC3898), which allows you to use
Regional Permit 198200030 (GP30), which in this case is automatically 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 go ahead with your project including (but not
limited to) Erosion and Sediment Control, Non - discharge, and other regulations. This approval
to proceed with your proposed impacts or to conduct impacts to waters as depicted in your
application shall expire on the same day as the expiration date of the corresponding Regional
Permit 198200030.
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 02H .0506 (h). This approval requires
you to follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional conditions
