Authorization Certificate per the Tar-Pamlico River Buffer Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0259)
Dear Mr. Maher:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to construct a
jet ski ramp at 1139 Sagamore Drive (Lot 2067), Bunn, NC on Lake Royale as described in your
application materials provided on March 30, 2005. The proposed work will involve no impacts to waters,
wetlands, streams or buffers, except for the placement of pilings within waters adjacent to an existing
bulkhead. Please note that if the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers requires the use of Nationwide Permit(s)
198200030 for the proposed work, then General Water Quality'Certification 3492 may be used without
requiring written concurrence from the Division of Water Quality. This letter shall also act as notification
of your compliance with the Tar-Pamlico River Buffer Protection Rules per 15A NCAC 2B .0259. The
proposed jet ski ramp is considered a water-dependent structure and is allowable. 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.
This Authorization 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 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.
Any disputes over determinations regarding this Authorization Certificate (associated with the approved
buffer impacts) shall be referred in writing to the Director for a decision. The Director's decision is
subject to review as provided in Articles 3 and 4 of G.S. 150B.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under the Tar-Pamlico riparian buffer
protection rule as described within 15A NCAC 2B .0259. If you have any questions, please telephone
Cyndi Karoly at 919-733-9646 or Debbie Edwards at 919-733-9502.
Sincerely,

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.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be 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 equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
Page 9 of 12
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; 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 the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. 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 restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://li2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strm.gide.litml.
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction.. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://112o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the
following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): I Ii
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): t
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
