Dear Mr. Whichard:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to shade 0.0176 acres of non-
vegetated wetland, to construct the proposed two-slip boathouse with associated platform and catwalks, as
described in your application dated August 17, 2006, and received by the Division of Water Quality
(DWQ) 401 Oversight/Express Review Permitting Unit on September 18, 2006, with additional
information received on November 2, 2006. After reviewing your application, we have determined that
the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) General Water Quality Certification Number 3400 covers these
water impacts. This Certification allows you to General Permit No. 198000291 when issued by the US
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). In addition, you should get or otherwise comply with any other
federal, state and local requirements before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to)
erosion and sediment control regulations and CAMA. 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 below.
The Additional Conditions of the Certification are:

Jeffrey Whichard
Beaufort County
Project Setting
The project site is located at lot 981 Whichard's Beach Rd (SR1166), adjacent to
a man-made canal that drains to the Pamlico River, near the Town of Chocowinity in
Beaufort County. The Pamlico River is classified by the Environmental Management
Commission as SC/NSW and is closed to shell fishing along the project site. The site is
bordered upstream by an undeveloped lot. Single-family homes, many with piers and
boathouses exist further upstream from the project site. The lots downstream are
undeveloped. At present the lot has been cleared with no significant vegetation
remaining.
The entire ± 100' of shoreline is protected by bulkhead and there is an existing
boat ramp in the upstream corner of the lot. No other structures exist on the project site at
present.
Project Description
The applicant proposes to construct a ±38' X ±32' two slip boathouse of which
±14' X ±32' will be over the estuarine shoreline and the remaining ±24' X ±32' over the
water. The two slips will be divided by a t8' X :E24' platform. Two, f2' X ±24' catwalks
will provide access to the outer edge of each slip.
