River Buffer Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0259) with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Bowman:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill
within or otherwise impact 0.00358 acres of open waters below the normal pool lake level and 0.0183
acres of open waters above the normal pool lake level and 416 square feet (ftZ) of Zone 1 of the protected
riparian buffers for the purpose of constructing a 78-foot bulkhead (2-feet deep), and two 10-foot x 27-
foot docks, and a 26-foot x 26-foot boathouse at the subject property, as described within your application
dated August 31, 2006, and received by the N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on September 11,
2006. After reviewing your application, we have decided that the impacts are covered by General Water
Quality Certification Number(s) 3495 (GC3495). The Certification(s) allows you to use General Permit
Number 80 when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers (LTSACE). This letter shall also act as your
approved Authorization Certificate for impacts to the protected riparian buffers per 15A NCAC 2B .0259.
In addition, you should obtain or otherwise comply with any other required federal, state or local permits
before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Erosion and Sediment Control, and
Non-discharge regulations. 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 1501inear 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.
Conditions of Certification:
1. Impacts Approved
The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all of the other specific and general
conditions of this Certification (or Isolated Wetland Permit) are met. No other impacts are
