Dear Mr. Folsom:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to construct a pier, gazebo
and boatlifts, as described in your CAMA EXPRESS Major application dated November 8, 2007.
After reviewing your application, we have decided these impacts are below the threshold for
written authorization as long as all conditions of General Water Quality Certification Number
3687 (GC3687) is met. This certification may also be viewed on our website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. This Certification allows you to use the Regional General
# 198700056 Permit when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that is described in your application. If
you change your project, you must notify us and you maybe 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 wetland fills
for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation maybe required
as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). This approval shall expire when the
corresponding Nationwide Permit expires or as otherwise provided in the General Certification.
For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification
and any additional conditions listed below.
Conditions of Certification:
1) You will be required to place "stops" on the two boat lifts at approximately one foot
above the substrate as described in you e-mail to Jason Dail of DCM dated Tuesday
December 4, 2007 in order to somewhat alleviate the churning of the bottom substrate
with boat motor/propeller into the water column and causing turbidity over 25 NTUs
(which is a violation of DWQ's SA water Quality Standards. These stops are to be
maintained and remain on the boatlifts at the site.
2) Upon completion of the project, the applicant shall complete and return the enclosed
"Certification of Completion Form" to notify DWQ that all the work included in the 401
