Dear Mr. Pryor:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill within or
otherwise impact 0.0137 acres (600 sq. ft.) of open water (Lake Tillery) below the normal pool lake level for the
purpose of placing rip-rap as described in your application dated August 21, 2007, and received by the Division
of Water Quality on August 31, 2007. After reviewing your application, we have decided that the impacts are
covered by General Water Quality Certification No. 3639 (GC3639). This Certification allows you to use
General Permit Number 198200030 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
proceed with your project including (but not limited to) Erosion and Sediment Control and Non-discharge
regulations. Also, this approval to proceed with your proposed project or to conduct impacts to waters as
depicted in your application shall expire upon expiration of the 404 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 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 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.
Additional Conditions
1. The following impacts are hereby approved, as indicated in your application, as long as all of the other
specific and general conditions of this certification are met. No other impacts are approved, including
incidental impacts.
