Dear Mr. and Mrs. Sears:

You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions; to construct a second floating dock

written authorization as long as all conditions of General Water Quality Certification Number 3687
(GC3687) are met. This certification may also be viewed on our website at
http://h20.em.state.nc.us/ncwetlands.This Certification allows you to use the Regional General #
198700056 Permit when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers and your permit when issued by the
Division of Coastal Management.

change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application. If the

thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in
