Charles Finn 4125 Windwood Circle Charlotte, NC 28226 Subject Property: Sunset Point / Phase 2 / Lot #43 Bear Hollow Court, NC 28752 Approval of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions Dear Dr. Finn: You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill within or otherwise impact 312 square feet of shoreline for the purpose of stabilization at the subject property, as described within your application received by the N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on April 18, 2005. After reviewing your application, we have decided that the impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification Number(s) 3373 (GC3373). The Certification(s) allows you to use Regional Permit(s) 198200079 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, Non-discharge, Stormwater and Buffer 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: 101 Wetlands Certificaticn Unit 1650 PAail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1650 2321 Crabtree Boulevard, Suite 250, Raleigh, North Carolina 27604 Phone: 919-733-1786/ FAX 919-733-6893 / Intemethttp,//h2oenr.state.nc.us/ncvvetlands onethCarolina ,/?uhlrcl!!lf An Equal Cpportunity/Affirmative Action Employer- 509,10 Recycled/100,o Post Consumer Paper Dr. J.

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 approved including incidental impacts: Amount Plan Location or Reference Approved Units Shoreline 312 (square A feet 2. Erosion & Sediment Control Practices Erosion' and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect surface waters standards: a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual. b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures must be such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the project. c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual. d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act. 3. No Waste, Spoil, Solids, or Fill of Any Kind No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the footprint of the impacts depicted in the Pre-Construction Notification. All construction activities, including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion control Best Management Practices, shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur. Dr. J. Charles Finn Page 3 of 6 April 22, 2005: 4. No Sediment & Erosion Control Measures w/n Wetlands or Waters Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum extent practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored within six months of the date that the Division of Land Resources has released the project. 5. Certificate of Completion Upon completion of all work approved within the 401 Water Quality Certification or applicable Buffer Rules, and any subsequent modifications, the applicant is required to return the attached certificate of completion to the 401/Wetlands Unit, North Carolina Division of Water Quality, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650. 6. Riprap Installation All banks shall be laid back at a 2:1 slope and riprap applied at the water / land interface (at full pool). Riprap shall be placed as a linear protective measure upon the regarded slopes. Stone used in stabilization shall be a random size, varying from Class B riprap up to 6 feet in diameter to provide additional wildlife habitat. All exposed soils above the Riprap stabilized area shall be replanted in accordance with the attached Guidelines for Riparian Buffer Restoration. This authorization shall in no way be construed as allowing the installation of a bulkhead or seawall. In no way does this Certification allow for the use of "river rock." 7. Equipment Heavy equipment should be operated from the bank whenever possible. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters should be inspected and maintained regularly to prevent contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids or other toxic materials. Equipment used in stream channel must be clean, new or low hour equipment. 8. Diffuse Flow All constructed stormwater conveyance outlets shall be directed and maintained as diffuse flow at non-erosive velocities through the protected stream buffers such that it will not re-concentrate before being discharged. If this is not possible, it may be necessary to provide stormwater facilities that are considered to remove nitrogen. This may require additional approval from this Office. Dr. J. Charles Finn Pave 4 of 6 April 22, 2005: 9. Catawba Buffer Tree Protection No trees shall be removed from Zone 1 of the Catawba Buffer unless they are directly within the construction access corridor. If trees are removed, forested vegetation shall be re-established within the construction access or other temporary impact area occurring in the protected buffer zone within the next growing season following construction of the project; Additionally, should a dense woody buffer not exist along the shoreline, one must be planted at the completion of the construction activity which complies with the Catawba Buffer Rules. 10. Turbidity Standard The turbidity standard of 50 NTUs (Nephelometric Turbidity Units) shall not be exceeded as described in 15 A NCAC 2B. .0200. Appropriate sediment and erosion control practices must be used to meet this standard. 11.

All construction activities, including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion control Best Management Practices, shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur. 12. No Sediment and Erosion Control Measures in Wetlands Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum extent practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored within six months of the date that the Division of Land Resources or locally delegated program has released the project. 13. Deed Restriction Deed Restriction or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all retained jurisdictional wetlands, waters and protective buffers in order to impacts to wetland, water and buffers located on the property. These mechanisms shall be put in place prior to impacting any wetlands, waters and/or buffers approved for impact under this Certification Approval and Authorization Certificate.
