You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill within, or otherwise impact
by excavation, 0.07 acre of waters for the purpose of constructing a pier on High Rock Lake at 788 Joe Cecil
Road, Southmont, Davidson County, as described in your application received by the Division of Water
Quality on November 22, 2004. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this activity is
covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3373, which can be viewed on our web site at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. This Certification allows you to use Regional General Permit Number
198200030 when it is issued, by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In addition, you should secure any other
applicable federal, state or local permits before you proceed with your project, including (but not limited to)
those required by Sediment and Erosion Control, Non -Discharge, and Water Supply Watershed regulations.
Also, this approval will expire when the accompanying 404 permit (Regional General Permit) expires unless
otherwise specified in the General Certification.
This approval is valid only for the purpose and design that you have described in your application. If you
change your project, you must notify us in writing, and you may be required to send us a new application for a
new certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the Certification and
approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total fill for this project (now
or in the future) exceeds one acre of wetland or 150 linear feet of stream, compensatory mitigation may be
required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the
conditions listed in the attached certification, as well as the additional conditions listed below:
1. The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all other specific and general conditions of the
Certification are met. No other impacts, including incidental impacts, are approved:

North Carolina Division of Land Resources.
4. 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

statutes, or rules occur.
