Approval of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Finneman:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to replace 555 feet of
deteriorated bulkhead, replace two breakwaters and temporarily impact coastal marsh to remove and install the
breakwaters, as described within your Express CAMA application dated February 19, 2009 and your Express 401
application received by The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Wilmington Regional Office (WiRO) February 19,
2009. After reviewing your application, we have decided that the impacts are covered by General Water Quality
Certification Number 3642 (GC 3642). This Certification can also be found on line at:
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/certs.html. The Certification allows you to use the CAMA Major Permit
when issued by the Division of Coastal Management. 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, Non-discharge, and stormwater 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 on the
following pages.
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:

and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining

footprint of the impacts depicted in the application. 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.
5. No Sediment & Erosion Control Measures w/n Wetlands or Waters
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,
