Dear Mr. Benteen:

You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill
within or otherwise impact 0.03 acres of waters for the purpose of constructing a public fishing and
boating access area at the subject property, as described within your application dated January 30, 2005
and received by the N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on February 7, 2005. After reviewing your
application, we have decided that the impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification
Number(s) 3494 (GC3494). The Certification(s) allows you to use General Permit Number 197800056
when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). 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 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:

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.
The development of this site will eliminate the safety hazards that are at the existing boat
launch area. Trees are leaning at dangerous angles over the access road and NCWRC control of

Page II of 15

this site will allow these hazards to be removed. A good boat ramp and off highway parking area
will reduce the traffic hazard of parking along the highway. The ramp will help accommodate
thc growing population in the area. The PF A will allow the local residents who currcntly fish
from the bank of the bridge to more safcly fish the same spots from a fixed pier. The ramp,
parking, and fishing pier are designed to give access to the handicapped thus accommodating a
larger perccntage of the fishing public.

VIII, Mitigation

DWQ - In accordancc with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may bc 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 cqual to 150 linear feet of total impacts to pcrennial
streams.

USACE - In accordancc with thc Final Noticc of Issuance and Modification of Nationwidc
Pcrmits, published in thc Fcderal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will bc rcquircd when
nccessary to ensurc that adversc effects to the aquatic environmcnt are minimal. Factors
including sizc and typc of proposed impact and function and rclative value of the impacted
aquatic resourcc will bc considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicablc
mitigation as proposed. Examplcs of mitigation that may bc appropriate and practicablc include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegctated buffers to protect open waters such as strcams; 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 thc mitigation plan must bc attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for proccssing. 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 rcstoration
in DWQ's Draft Teclmical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
11 t t p:/ /11 2o.en r. stn te. nc. us/ncwet I nnds/ stnn gi de. I1tm I.

l. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: sitc location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear fcet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancemcnt, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of thc currcnt site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if morc space is needed.
