Dear Ms. Girdwood:
RE: Camp Lake James
Burke/McDowell County
DWQ # 20060201
Thank you for your letter dated August 4, 2005 (received on January 31, 2006)
concerning questions for DWQ approval for the Camp Lake James project at the
Burke/McDowell County line. According to the Catawba Buffer rules (15A NCAC 2B .0243),
water dependent structures that disturb the riparian buffer need written approval from the
Division while water dependent structures that do not disturb the buffer do not need written
approval. From your description, I believe that your project's plan for day use slips will likely
disturb the buffer and thereby require written approval from DWQ. If this is the case, please
apply to us for written approval using the Preconstruction Notification form (PCN). As long as
there is no fill or dredging of water, this approval does not require a fee. If you apply for written
approval, please use the DWQ project number listed above.
I can be reached at 919-733-9646 if
have any questions.
