Dear Mr. Seago:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill
within or otherwise impact approximately 0.0158 acres of waters on Lake Tilley for the purpose of
constructing a boathouse, pier and installing a seawall to stabilize approximately 345 feet of shoreline,
as described within your application dated December 30, 2003. After reviewing your application, we
have decided that this fill is covered by Nationwide Water Quality Certification Number 3373, which
may be viewed on our website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. This certification allows you to
use General Permit Number 198200030 when the Corps of Engineers issues it. In addition, you should
get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not
limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Coastal Stormwater, Non-Discharge and Water Supply
Watershed regulations. This approval will expire when the accompanying 404 or LAMA permit
expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application except as
modified below. 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 wetland fills for
this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as
described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). This approval shall expire when the corresponding
Nationwide Permit expires or as otherwise provided in the General Certification. For this approval to
be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional
conditions listed below.

streams.
Page 9 of 12
a
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 o review the-current guidelines for. stream restoration

TO AUTHORIZE MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES IN
LAKES AND RESERVOIRS OWNED, OPERATED AND/OR REGULATED BY PUBLIC
UTILITY COMPANIESANDTHE TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY (TVA) IN THE
STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA.
These lakes and reservoirs were constructed and exist primarily for the purposes of generating
hydroelectric power and/or providing water supply. They were constructed and operated by
public utility companies or under laws and regulations administered by the TVA. Activities within
these waters are the primary concern of, and should be regulated by, these parties. This general
permit applies to all waters on or within lands owned or under flowage easement to public utility
companies and the TVA.
Activities authorized are:
a. Construction of piers, floating boat docks, boat shelters, boat houses, boat ramps, jetties
and breakwater structures and installation of dolphins, pilings and buoys, using commonly
acceptable materials such as pressure treated lumber, unsinkable flotation materials, and confined

concrete.
b. Excavation and maintenance of recreational boat basins and canals/channels where
excavated material is placed and retained on high ground.
c. Stabilization of eroding shorelines utilizing appropriate bio-engineering techniques,
construction and backfill of bulkheads, and the placement of riprap material.
d. Installation of submerged and aerial utility lines where U.S. Coast Guard requirements
for aerial lines are met and preproject elevation contours are restored -`=
e. Construction of water intake and outfall structures where all State and Federal required
authorizations have been obtained.
1. S cial Conditions.
. a. Written confirmation that the proposed work complies with this eg neral permit must be
received from the Wilmington District Engineer prior to the commencement of any work For
this purpose, the proponent should submit detailed plans, location maps, and other supplemental
information explaining the nature and scope of the work.
b. The piers, docks, boathouses and boat shelters will be pile-supported or floating
structures. Mooring piles, dolphins, jetties and breakwater structures may be of wood, metal or
precast concrete. Breakwater structures will be designed to provide for adequate water
circulation landward of the structures.
c. This general permit does not authorize construction across or into any natural or
manmade channel or water body so as to adversely affect navigation by the general public.
d. Piers shall not extend or any other structure be placed further waterward than one-third
the width-of a 30-footwide-or _greater natural.water body designated as navigable pursuant to
Section 10 of the Rivers and.Harbors Act of 1899 (i.e., for navigable waterbodies less than 30 feet
wide, pier requests will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and may be restricted to less than
one-third the width of the waterbody). Docks or piers and adjoining platforms, decks,
boathouses, boat shelters, docks, and "L" and "T" sections will not cumulatively exceed the
maximum allowable size of such structures identified in the reservoir's shoreline management
plan. Docks and piers extending over vegetated wetlands will be elevated sufficiently (minimum
of 4 feet above the wetland substrate) to prevent total shading of vegetation, substrate, or other
elements. of the aquatic environment. Floating docks, boathouses and boat shelters will not be
constructed over vegetated wetlands.
e. Wooden jetties will not extend farther than 100 feet waterward of the NWL elevation
contours.
2

f. Boat ramps will not exceed 20 feet in width. No material for construction will be placed
in wetlands. Excavation is limited to the area necessary for site preparation and all excavated
material must be removed to uplands.
g. This general permit does not authorize the installation of fueling facilities on authorized
structures.
h. Decking for piers, docks, boathouses and boat shelters will accommodate loads not less
than 50 pounds per square foot.
i. Wood will be pressure-treated except in areas of boathouses or boat shelters protected
from the weather. Metal or pre-cast concrete pilings are acceptable.
j. Metal pilings or beams will have a minimum section thickness of 3/16 inch.
k. Floating structures will be supported by material that will not become waterlogged or
sink when punctured and will be installed to provide for fluctuations of water elevation and not
break away.
1. Shoreline stabilization activities (bio-engineering techniques, construction and backfill of
bulkheads, and the placement of riprap material) are only authorized along shorelines void of
wetland vegetation, or where construction is accomplished landward of such vegetation. This
general regional permit does not authorize the discharge of dredged or fill material in marsh or
wooded wetlands.
m. Bulkhead and riprap alignments will not extend farther than an average distance of 2
feet waterward, 5 feet maximum, from the normal pool elevation contour and may not extend
more than 500 feet along a shoreline. Riprap will be placed at the base of all bulkheads and will
extend a maximum of three (3) feet waterward on a 2:1 slope.
n. Not more than an average. of one.cubic:yard .of fill material per running foot of shoreline
will be placed within waters of the United States.
. o. All fill material will be obtained from an upland source and confined landward of
bulkheads.
Pi--All fill material, including riprap material, discharged into waters of the United States,
must be free from pollutants in toxic amounts. The use of metal products, organic materials,
petroleum base materials. or unsightly debris, is prohibited.. .
q. Excavation and removal of accumulated sediment for maintenance of existing basins,
access channels to boat slips and boats slips to previously authorized depths or controlling depths
for ingress/egress, whichever is less, is authorized provided the dredge material is disposed of at
an upland site and proper siltation controls are used. Excavation activities will not occur during
