Subject: Incident #: 200502416, Catawba Riparian Buffer
APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and Authorization Certificate per the Catawba River Buffer
Protection Rules (15ANCAC 2B .0243) with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Young:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact
approximately 0.17 acre of riparian buffer for the purpose of stabilizing/restoring the buffer along approximately
490 linear feet of shoreline on Lake Hickory, as described in your application' received on January 8 2006.
After reviewing your application, we have determined that this project is covered by Water Quality General
Certification Number 3402, which can be viewed. on our web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetiands. The
General Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit No. 43 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 fora 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 26.0243). 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. Twenty, two (2) inch caliper trees, 8' in height, shall be randomly planted throughout Zone 1.
2. Six (6) inches of mulch shall be placed in-Zone 1 of the buffer to help reestablish the soil and stabilize the
slope. A non turfgrass cover such as sericea lespedeza cover may used in place of mulch
3. 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.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Cyndi.B. Karoly, Supervisor
401 Oversight and Express Permits Unit
NCDWQ Wetlands and Stormwater Branch
FROM: Ron Linvillea Regional Coordinator
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: January 24, 2006
SUBJECT: Mark and Linda Young, DWQ No. 060016, Lake Hickory, Alexander County
The applicants are requesting 401 Water Quality Certification from the North Carolina Division
of Water Quality. The NCWRC has reviewed information provided by the applicant, and field
biologists on our staff are familiar with habitat values of the project area. These comments are
provided in accordance with provisions of the Clean Water Act of 1977 (33 U.S.C. 466 et. seq)
and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d).
The project will allow stormwater to run into a ditch and provide a fifteen (15) foot flat area
beside the seawall on a 2:1 slope on the steep part of the property: The project appears to be the
of installation of seawall, grading and backfilling, and sloping of a private lot on Lake Hickory. 11 We are concerned about possible effects to water quality and aquatic edge habitats.associated
with the ditch and the seawall. The provision of sheet flow through an undisturbed forested
'shoreline buffer with deep rooted trees is preferred over yard extension and ditching; however,
we will not object to the project if it is in compliance with the Division of Water Quality's
Catawba River buffer requirement, US Army Corps of Engineers permit requirements, and Duke
Power Company's. Lake Shoreline Management requirements. ` The following general
recommendations are provided for your consideration:
1. Fill in the lake should not occur primarily to extend private property. If lot fill is
needed to protect lake integrity and water quality, such activities must be
approved by regulatory authorities, including authorities under the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission's purview.

Mark & Linda Young -Page 2 January 24, 2006
2. Minimum` class I (class II preferred) course riprap or rock (not river rock) should
be used at the waterside base of the seawall as this size rock improves aquatic
habitat. Fabric matting may be used beneath the stone to reduce erosion and
turbidity. Rock or stone should be placed just above the high water mark and
towards the lake five (5) to six (6) feet when possible to provide continuous
aquatic edge habitat. Large boulders should be placed every 30-feet along the
property to replace lost aquatic habitats associated with the lot fill. Boulders must
be located so as not to create any safety hazards.
3. Any Large Woody Debris (LWD) should be maintained to the maximum extent
practicable to provide aquatic habitat. If relocated, the LW17 must be securely
anchored so that it will remain where installed. LWD must be located so as not
to create any safety hazards.
4. Any buffer violations should be resolved in a manner that restores shoreline
habitats-and protects aquatic habitats.
5. Sheet flow through vegetated/forested buffers should be provided to the
maximum extent practicable.
6. Stringent erosion control measures should be installed where soil is disturbed and
maintained until project completion. Temporary or permanent herbaceous
vegetation should be planted on all bare soil within ten (10) days of ground
disturbing activities to provide long-term erosion control.
7. Wide undisturbed shoreline buffers and natural vegetation should be maintained
or restored to the extent practicable. To the extent practicable, disturbed buffers
should be restored and revegetated with silky dogwood (Cornus amonum), silky
willow (Salrx sericea), tag alder (Alnus serrulata), black willow (Salix nigra), and
sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) or other autochthonous plants to provide long
term bank stability. Note that silky dogwood, silky willow and black willow can,
be planted as live stakes collected during the dormant growing season. Cuttings
should be randomly planted on four (4) foot centers from the waters edge to the
top of the bank. Trees should be planted on ten (10) to twelve (12) foot centers.. .
Banks in these areas should also be temporarily seeded with an approved
wetland/riparian seed mix or temporary crop of annual wheat or rye.
8. The applicant should contact local planning authorities to determine if local
approvals and permits are needed for the project and for any buffer infringements.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comment on this project. If you have any questions

This project is undertaken to reduce impact to the lake. As a minimum it will -reduce the
sediment into the lake.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required, by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams-
Page 9 of 9
USAGE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining' wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same.watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
hLtp://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/nc,%,etiands/stnngide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.

Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration

Dear Mr. Young:
Subject: Incident #: 200502416
Catawba Riparian Buffer Rules
Reitzel Rd.
Alexander County, NC
On November 30, 2005, this office received plans prepared by Atlantic Engineering for work
required to correct the grading conducted in the Catawba Riparian Buffer that was observed this
past August. It is requested that an application (Preconstruction Notification Form, PCN) be
submitted by December 30th to the Division of Water QuAlity for a 401 Water Quality Certification
prior to the initiation of any work. A PCN can be found on our website at:
htt2://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetiands/documents/PCN newt Rdf . The PCN should include a list of
native specie trees (two (2) inch caliper) that are to be replanted in Zone 1 of the buffer along with a
timeline for completion of the project. Mulch shall be place in Zone 1 at a minimum depth of six (6)
inches. In Zone 2, the buffer may be plantod in your choice of vegetative cover.
Be advised that a sediment and erosion control plan may also need to be submitted to the
Division of Land Resources for approval of any land disturbing activity. If you have any questions,
please telephone Mr. Johnson in the Mooresville Regional Office at 704-663-1699.

Re: Mark Young's Project on Lake Hickory WATER UMTY SECTION
On the PCN there are about five (5) categories for the permit for this project.
I called Steve Chapin, Corp of Engineers, Asheville office. He said NCDENR should make the
call. I need some help. Some of the choices are:
Minor discharges permit 418
Residential Development drainage ditches # 41
Stormwater Management # 43
(Or none of the above)
Thank you very much for giving us the opportunity to do this project and if you have to use this

Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area:
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design `options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
This roiect is undertaken to reduce impact to the lake. As a minimum it will reduce the
sediment into the lake.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams. '

USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, :mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://li?a.enr.state.lac..us/xzcwetlands/strmide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
N/A
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP)• Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at littn•//h2o el- r.state.a7c.us/wry)/iild xx.htin. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the
following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): N/A
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A

IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state) funds or the use of public
(federal/state) land?
Yes ? No
If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note. If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No
If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please_ attach a
copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter.
Yes [-] No
X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ) N/A
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project.. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify __ 1?
Yes ? No ? If you answered "yes % provide the following information:
Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. if buffer
mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer
multipliers.
