Subject: Approval of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions

Dear Mr. Isom:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to
place fill within or otherwise impact 0.010 acres (460 sq. feet) of open water (Lake Tillery)
below the normal pool lake level for the purpose of placing rip-rap as described in your
application dated April 1, 2009, received by the Division of Water Quality on April 13, 2009,
and in accordance with the additional information received April 27, 2009. We have determined
that that these impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification No. 3693 (GC3693).
This Certification allows you to use General Permit Number 198200030 when issued by the US
Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE). In addition, you should obtain or otherwise comply with
any other required federal, state or local permits before you proceed with your project including
(but not limited to) Erosion and Sediment Control and Non-discharge regulations. Also, this
approval to proceed with your proposed project or to conduct impacts to waters as
depicted in your application shall expire upon expiration of the 404 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.
