Dear Mr. Greenwood:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to impact 338 square ft. of wetlands
or waters for the purpose of installing a boat ramp and floating dock as you described in your
application dated July 23, 2008. After reviewing your application, we have decided this fill is below
the threshold for written authorization as long as all conditions of General Water Quality Certification
Number 3641 are met, which may be viewed on our website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands.
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 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:

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.

in criminal and/or civil penalties. This Certification shall become null and void unless the above
conditions are made conditions of the Federal 404 and/or coastal Area Management Act Permit.
