APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and Authorization Certificate per the Catawba River Buffer
Protection'', Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0243) with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Smith:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill in
or to otherwise impact approximately 0.003 acre of waters and 0.003 acre of riparian buffer for the purpose of
stabilizing. approximately 80 linear feet of shoreline on Lake Norman, as described in your application received
on March 28, 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
WP://h2o.enr. state. nc. us/ncwetlands. The General Certification allows you to use Regional Permit No.
1198200030 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 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'! All stormwater shall be directed as diffuse flow at non-erosive velocities through the protected stream buffers
so as not to re-concentrate before discharging into the stream (as identified in 15A NCAC 2B .0243 (5)).
2. Trees/shrubs shall be planted and mulch placed in Zone 1 of the buffer following the completion of the
stabilization project.
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.
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

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!
