Dear Mr. Hooks:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to install a boatlift within an
existing boat slip, as described in your CAMA Major application dated April 14, 2008. 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 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 214.0506 (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.
