Approval of 401 Water Quality Certification and Authorization Certificate per the Catawba River
Buffer Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0243) with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Broderdorp:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill
within or otherwise impact 0.0138 acres of open waters below the normal pool lake level, 0.0092 acres of
open waters above the normal pool lake level, and impact 400 square feet of Zone 1 Catawba River basin
protected riparian buffer and 0:00 square feet of Zone 2 River basin protected riparian buffer for the
purpose of constructing a bulkhead along 200 feet of shoreline as described within your application dated
April 8, 2008, and received by the N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on April 10, 2008. After
reviewing your application, we have decided that the impacts are covered by General Water Quality
Certification Number(s) 3693 (GC3693). The Certification(s) allows you to use General Permit Number
30 when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). This letter shall also act as your
approved Authorization Certificate for impacts to the protected riparian buffers per 15A NCAC 213 .0243.
In addition, you should obtain or otherwise comply with any other required federal, state or local permits
before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Erosion and Sediment Control, and
Non-discharge regulations. Also, this approval to proceed with your proposed impacts or to conduct
impacts to waters as depicted in your application shall expire upon expiration of the 404 or CAMA
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 150 linear 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.
The Additional Conditions of the .Certification are:
1. Impacts Approved
The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all of the other specific and general
conditions of this Certification (or Isolated Wetland Permit) are met. No other impacts are
approved including incidental impacts:

Zone 1 Catawba River Basin Protected Riparian Buffer 400 (square feet Application
Zone 2 Catawba River Basin Protected Riparian Buffer 0.00 (square feet Application
2. No Waste, Spoil, Solids, or Fill of Any Kind
No waste, spoil; solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond
the footprint of the impacts depicted in the Pre-Construction Notification. All construction
activities, including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion
control Best Management Practices, shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality
standards, statutes, or rules occur.
3. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing
the proper design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in
order to protect surface waters standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed,
operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina
Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control
measures must be such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most
recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices
shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects,
including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the project.
C. Sufficient materials required for stabilization and/or repair of erosion control measures and
stormwater routing and treatment shall be on site at all times.
4. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum extent
practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is
unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored within six months of the date that the
Division of Land Resources has released the project;
5. Diffuse Flow
All constructed stormwater conveyance outlets shall be directed and maintained as diffuse flow at
non-erosive velocities through the protected stream buffers such that it will not re-concentrate
before discharging into a stream as identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0243 (5). If this is not
possible, it may be necessary to provide stormwater facilities that are considered to remove
nitrogen. This may require additional approval from this Office.
6. Certificate of Completion
Upon completion of all work approved within the 401 Water Quality Certification or applicable
Buffer Rules, and any subsequent modifications, the applicant is required to return the attached
certificate of completion to the 401 Oversight/Express Review Permitting Unit, North Carolina
Division of Water Quality, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650.
Violations of any condition herein set forth may result in revocation of this Certification and may result in
criminal and/or civil penalties. The authorization to proceed with your proposed impacts or to conduct

stream impacts), you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that
