Do not click links or open attachments unless you verify. Send all suspicious email as an attachment to Report Spam. Mitchell, I’m not great at drawing but I’ve done my best. Attached is a photo that shows the areas where the riprap is missing/deficient. Generally I need to add 1 foot of rip rap along 100 feet of shoreline. It seems like an easy repair and the shoreline will be stabilized adequately for many years to come. Please let me know if you need a better drawing. :) Mark 2 On Dec 1, 2021, at 9:16 AM, Anderson, Mitchell L <mitchell.anderson@ncdenr.gov> wrote: Hello Mr. Kleive, Thank you for your email. Please submit updated plans with dimensions that distinguish areas of existing riprap, areas of additional riprap to be placed over existing riprap, as well as areas proposed for new riprap placement. Thank you for providing a copy of McDowell County’s authorization. Please note, pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0614, the 10 ft wide temporary impacts proposed through to the Catawba buffer need to be restored to pre‐construction topographic and hydrologic conditions and replanted with comparable vegetation (trees, shrubs, and grasses) within two months of when construction is complete. Tree planting may occur during the dormant season. 3 I can also meet on site to discuss this information and observe the current conditions of the buffer and shoreline if desired. Please let me know if you would like to setup a meeting.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you verify. Send all suspicious email as an attachment to Report Spam. Mr. Anderson, Thanks for reaching out via email. Regarding 1. below: I’ll try to clarify the impact calculation because I’m doing stabilization repair only and not initial placement. Most of existing riprap is in place 4 feet above and 3 feet below the normal lake level and yet some areas above the normal lake level are deficient. The total amount of disturbance below the normal lake level: temporary = 0 sq/ft permanent = 0 sq/ft The total amount of disturbance above the normal lake level: temporary = 1000 sq/ft permanent = 100 sq/ft Regarding 2. below: I’ve attached the permission from McDowell County for the stabilization access and repair. I might be misunderstanding your request so please let me know if I’m supposed to furnish something different. 4 Thanks, Mark On Nov 30, 2021, at 4:58 PM, Anderson, Mitchell L <mitchell.anderson@ncdenr.gov> wrote: Hello Mr. Kleive, On November 07, 2021, the Division of Water Resources (Division) received your application requesting a 401 Water Quality Certification from the Division for the subject project, with the appropriate fee received on November 09, 2021.

[15A NCAC 02H .0502(a)(4)] Plans received on November 07, 2021 indicate 100 linear feet of rock shoreline stabilization installed 4 feet above and 3 feet below the normal lake level. This would calculate to 400 square feet of impact above and 300 square feet below the normal lake level. The aforementioned plans also include an additional temporary impact of 1,000 square feet upland of the proposed riprap. The shoreline stabilization application received on November 07, 2021 proposes impacts of 1,000 square feet above and 100 square feet below normal lake level. Please provide the total amount of disturbance below the normal pool lake level:  Temporary: Include all clearing for construction corridors, etc. expressed in square feet.  Permanent: Include all clearing, back fill, excavation, rip rap, retaining walls, and the like expressed in square feet.
