APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and Authorization Certificate per the Catawba River
Buffer Protection Rules (15A NCAC 213 .0243) with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Higgins:
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 acres of surface waters and 0.005 acres of riparian buffer for the purpose
of installing a seawall and riprap along approximately 110 linear feet of shoreline on Lake Norman, as
described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on February 11, 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/ncwetiands. The
General Certification allows you to use the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE) Regional Permit No.
198200030 when issued. 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.
This Certification will expire when the associated USACOE's 404 permit expires unless otherwise specked 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. 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 clearing of vegetation will be allowed. No trees shall be removed from the buffer except along the
immediate shoreline [within two (2) feet] and impacts to ground cover shall be kept to a minimum during the
installation of the seawall and associated riprap.
2. There shall be no sloping of the shoreline to accommodate the placement of the seawall and associated
riprap.
3. All storm water shall be directed as diffuse flow at non-erosive velocities through the protected lake buffers so
as not to re-concentrate before discharging into the lake [as identified in 15A NCAC 2B .0243 (5)].

"Certificate of Completion" form to the Division of Water Quality's 401 /Wetlands Unit.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must
act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition (that
conforms to Chapter 1506 of the North Carolina General Statutes) to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714
Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless
you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If
you have any questions, please telephone Polly Lespinasse in the Mooresville Regional Office at 704-663-1699

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!
