Dear Mr. Laughton:

and 7,980 sq. ft. of waters by shading for the purpose of boardwalk construction as you described in
your application dated February 7, 2008. After reviewing your application, we have decided that the
proposed impacts are for shading only and do not require written authorization as long as all conditions
of General Water Quality Certification Number 3641 are met, which may be viewed on our website at

This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application except as
modified below. If you change your project, you must notify us and you maybe required to send us a

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
