association is requesting to change the original proposed 300 linear feet of stack stone
stabilization to 180 linear feet of rip rap stone for stabilization.
We ask that you advise us, by return mail, of any comments you may have concerning this
development. Enclosed is a copy of the original letter and the response we received from you.
Please advise if additional information is required, I can be reached at the address above or by

Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on November 30, 2007, with additional information received from you
on December 12, 2007. After reviewing your application, we have decided that the impacts are covered
by General Water Quality Certification Number(s) 3693 (GC3693). The Certification(s) allows you to

impacts to waters as depicted in your application shall expire upon expiration of the 404 or CAMA

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.

stormwater routing and treatment shall be on site at all times.
4. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum extent

Quality Certification, require written approval from the Division of Water Quality.
Projects that have received a Notice of Violation from the Division of Land Resources and/or the
