APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and AUTHORIZATION CERTIFICATE per the Neuse River Buffer
Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233) with ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
Dear Mr. Johnson:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill within or
otherwise impact 0.006 acres of waters and 450 square feet (ft) (or 0.01 acres) of protected riparian buffers for the
purpose of constructing a boat ramp at the subject property, as described within your application dated January 29,
2004. After reviewing your application, we have decided that the impacts,are covered by the N.C. Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) General Water Quality Certification Number(s) 3376 (GC3376). The Certification(s).allows you to use
Nationwide Permit(s) 36 when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE). This letter shall also-act as your
approved Authorization Certificate for impacts to the protected riparian buffers per 15A NCAC_2B .0233: ]]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. Also, this
approval will expire when the accompanying 404 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. 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

FILE
On behalf of Holts Lake LLC (Attn: Pete Johnson), we hereby request authorization from
the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the North Carolina Division of Water
Quality (NCDWQ) to use the NWP 36 for the construction of a boat ramp and its
associated 401-Water Quality Certification for the subject project to cover impacts to
Holt Lake. In addition we are also requesting concurrence that the project complies with
the Neuse Buffer Rules. The proposed project consists of the construction of a concrete
boat ramp and a small dock. Figure 1 shows the location of the trail on a USGS
topographic quadrangle.
S&EC conducted a wetland delineation on January 21, 2004 so that the applicant would
be able to avoid potential wetland impacts. Data forms and photos are included with the
attachments in support of our wetland delineation. Construction of the boat ramp will
impact 0.006 acres of open waters. Buffer impacts include 450 SF of impervious surface
(i.e. gravel drive) in Zone 1 of the buffer. Zone 2 of the buffer is currently used as a
parking area and contains gravel. The boat ramp will be constructed in the dry (the lake
levels are below normal for the next two weeks). No wetland impacts are anticipated.
Construction of the boat ramp will comply with the conditions of the USACE General
permit (i.e. the ramp will not extend more than 20 from the normal water level) and the

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.
The applicant requested a wetland delineation prior to construction in order to avoid impacts
to wetlands or stream channels The ramp was originally planned for construction in the
southeast corner of the property. However S&EC informed the applicant that the ramp could be
moved in order to avoid wetland impacts as well as reduce impacts to the riparian buffer. The
current ramp ali%zmnent will not impact wetlands and requires only minimal clearing in the outer
zone of the buffer.
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.
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
Page 5 of 8
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
1. 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.
Because impacts are below 0.1 acres we do not believe mitigation should be required.
However, if mitigation is required the applicant proposes payment to the WRP.
2. 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 htt1)://h2o.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): NA
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): NA
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA
IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state) funds or the use of public
(federal/state) land?
Yes ? No
If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No ?
If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a
copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter.
Yes ? No ?
X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ)
Page 6 of 8
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify )?
Yes ® No ? If you answered "yes", provide the following information:
Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer
mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer
multipliers.
Zone* Impact
(square feet) Multiplier Required
Mitigation
1 450 3 NA
2 1.5
Total 450 NA
* Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from near banx or cnannei; kone /_ extends cui
additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1.
If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation
of Property, Conservation Easement, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, Preservation or
Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as
identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or .0260.
The construction of boat ramps is an allowable activity and therefore should not require
mitigation.
XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ)
Describe impervious acreage (both existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site.
Discuss stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands
downstream from the property.
NA
XII. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ)
Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of
wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.
Page 7 of 8
XIII. Violations (required by DWQ)
Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H.0500) or any Buffer Rules?
Yes ? No
Is this an after-the-fact permit application?
Yes ? No
XIV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).
Please note that the construction window for this project is limited. At present the Lake Levels
are down in order to allow fish passage however, the gates will be closed on February 15 and the
Lake levels will return to normal Please call if you require additional information so that we can
expedite the review process
