Subject: Shoreline Stabilization, Moss Lake
APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and with Additional Conditions
Dear Ms. Falls:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill in
or to otherwise impact approximately 0.02acre of waters for the purpose of stabilizing approximately 95 linear
feet of shoreline on Moss Lake, as described in your application received on September 11, 2007. After
reviewing your application, we have determined that this project is covered by Water Quality General
Certification Number 3626, which can be viewed on our web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. The
General Certification allows you to use Regional Permit 197800080 once it is issued to you by the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers (USACOE). Please note that you should get any other federal, state or local permits
before proceeding with your project, including those required by (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion
Control, Non-Discharge, and Water Supply Watershed regulations.
The above noted Certification will expire when the associated USACOE's 404 permit expires unless
otherwise specified in the General Certification. This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you
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.
In addition to the requirements of the certification, you must also comply with the following conditions:
1. No impacts shall occur in the buffer, including the removal of trees, except along the immediate shoreline.
2. Mulch or pine needles (6" deep) shall be used to help reestablish the buffer upon completion of the project.
3. Upon completion of the project, the applicant/responsible party shall complete and return the enclosed
"Certificate of Completion" form to the Division of Water Quality's 401/Wetlands Unit.
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 (that
conforms to Chapter 1508 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.
