In addition to the requirements of the certification, you must also comply with the following conditions:
1. No impacts shall occur in the buffer, including the removal of trees, except in the immediate shoreline
stabilization area.
2. Mulch or pine needles (6" deep) shall be used to help reestablish the buffer upon completion of the 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.

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!
