Subject: Catawba Riparian Buffer Rule
DWQ 05-2052
Lot 321, Moores Ferry
Catawba County, NC
Dear Mr. Torman:
The Catawba Riparian Buffer Rule restricts development impacts within a 50-foot wide area beginning
at the lake project elevation (in this case the 838 foot elevation of Lake Hickory) and extending landward.
Zone 1 consists of the first 30 feet from the project elevation and Zone 2 consists of the remaining 20 feet. The
Rule requires that no disturbance occur in Zone 1. Limited disturbance can occur in Zone 2.
On November 10, 2005, the Division of Water Quality received your application for a proposed
shoreline stabilization project at the above referenced site. However, a review of the application showed that
trees had been removed from Zone 1 of the Catawba Riparian Buffer.
It is requested that a written response be submitted to this office by December 15, 2005 indicating the
plan of action to restore Zone 1. At minimum, fifteen (15), two (2) inch caliper native specie trees must be
replanted. In addition Zone 1 must be mulched to a depth of 6 inches to help re-establish the soil.
Please be advised that this project will be placed on hold, pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0507(h), until
acceptance by the Ecosystem Enhancement Program or a formal stream restoration plan has been submitted.
In addition, this office is requesting that the Army Corps of Engineers withhold processing the 404 permit until
the requested information is provided. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Alan Johnson at (704)
663-1699 or Ms. Cyndi Karoly in Raleigh at [phone].

Catawba County, NC
Dear Mr. Torman:
On December 9, 2005 this office received your response to our concerns regarding the removal of trees
in the Catawba Riparian Buffer along the shoreline at the subject lot on Lake Hickory. Based on conversations
with Mr. Wade Harmon with Duke Power Lake Management and an aerial photo of the lot taken in 2002, trees
must be replanted in a random manner in the location of the removal and the buffer restored as stated in our
previous letter by March 1, 2006.
Once the job is complete, photos may be submitted via email to: Alan.Johnsonnnclnail.net or a site visit
can be scheduled. Be advised that this shoreline stabilization project will remain on hold until the restoration is
complete. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Alan Johnson at [phone] or Ms. Cyndi Karoly
in Raleigh at [phone].

APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and Authorization Certificate per the Catawba River Buffer
Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0243) with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Torman:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill in
or to otherwise impact approximately 0.01 acre of waters and 0.003 acre of riparian buffer for the purpose of
stabilizing approximately 135 linear feet of shoreline on Lake Norman, as described in your application
received on November 10, 2005. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this project is
covered by Water Quality General Certification Number 3492, which can be viewed on our web site at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. The General Certification allows you to use Regional Permit No.
198200030 once it is issued to you by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE). This letter also serves
as your approved Authorization Certificate for impacts to the protected riparian buffers per 15A NCAC 2B
.0243. Please note that you should get any other federal, state or local permits before proceeding with your
project, including those required by (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge, and
Water Supply Watershed regulations.
The above noted Certification will expire when the associated USACOE's 404 permit expires unless
otherwise specified in the General Certification. This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you
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. This approval, however, should not be construed as authorization to impact any part of the 50-foot
riparian buffer that currently exists on the main stem of the Catawba River under the Catawba River Buffer
Protection Rule (15A NCAC 2B .0243). If the total wetland fill for this project (now or in the future) exceeds
one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h).
In addition to the requirements of the certification, you must also comply with the following conditions:
1. No impacts shall occur in the buffer, including the removal of trees, except along the immediate shoreline.
2. The recently planted trees (to replace those that were removed without approval) shall be replaced if they fail
to thrive (die) through the next growing season.
3. Mulch or pine needles (6" deep) shall be used to help reestablish the buffer upon completion of the project.
4
Upon completion of the project, the applicant/responsible party shall complete and return the enclosed
"Certificate of Completion" form to the Division of Water Quality's 401/Wetlands Unit. One

Comments: As per our discussion regarding revision of the triage and delegation processes,
please review the attached file. Note that you are the first reviewer, so this file will need to be
reviewed for administrative as well as technical details. If you elect to place this project on hold,
please ask the applicant to provide your requested information to both the Central Office in
Raleigh as well as the Asheville Regional Office. As we discussed, this is an experimental, interim
procedure as we slowly transition to electronic applications. Please apprise me of any
complications you encounter, whether related to workload, processing times, or lack of a "second
reviewer" as the triage process in Central had previously provided. Also, if you think of ways to
improve this process, especially so that we can plan for the electronic applications, let me know.
Thanks!
