Dear Mr. and Mrs. Hughes:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to dredge around dock and
access channel, relocate a boatlift and add an finger pier, as described in your CAMA Major
application dated January 23, 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 Numbers 3687 and 3698 are met. These certifications may also be
viewed on our website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. These Certifications allows you
to use the Regional General # 198700056 and 198200277 Permits when issued by the US Army
Corps of Engineers and the CAMA Major Permit when issued by the Division of Coastal
Management.
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 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 wetland fills
for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be 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) 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
Certification has been completed. The responsible party shall complete the attached form
and return it to the 401 /Wetlands Unit of the Division of Water Quality.
Violations of any condition herein set forth may result in revocation of this Certification and may
result in criminal and/or civil penalties.
