APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and AUTHORIZATION CERTIFICATE per the Tar-Pamlico
River Buffer Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0259) with ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
Dear Mr. Harper:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill within or
otherwise impact 0.003 acres of waters and 0.017 acres of protected riparian buffers along 70 feet of lake shoreline for
the purpose of constructing a bulkhead for shoreline stabilization and a boathouse at the subject property, as described
within your application dated April 4, 2004 and received by the N,C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on April 7,
2004, After reviewing your application, we have decided that the impacts are covered by General Water Quality
Certification Number (s) 3399 (GC3399). The Certification(s) allows you to use Nationwide Permit(s) 13 when issued
by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). This letter shall also act as your approved Authorization Certificate for
impacts to the protected riparian buffers per 15A NCAC 2B .0259. 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 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 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). For this approval to be valid, you
must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional conditions listed below.
Conditions:
1. 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 th
project.
2. No Waste, Spoil, Solids, or Fill of Any Kind - No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlaI1
waters, or riparian areas beyond the footprint of the impacts depicted in the Preconstruction Notice Applicati<
All construction activities, including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and em
control Best Management Practices, shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality standards,
statutes, or rules occur.
3. No Sediment & Erosion Control Measures win 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.
4. Certificate of Completion - Upon completion of all work approved within the 401 Water Quality Certificatior
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.
5. Diffuse Flow (No Review) - An additional condition is that all constructed stormwater conveyance outlets sh
be directed as diffuse flow at non-erosive velocities through. the protected stream buffers such that it will not J
concentrate before discharging into a stream as identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (5). If this is not possil
it may be necessary to provide stormwater facilities that are considered to remove nitrogen. This may require
additional approval from this Office.
6. Buffer Establishment around Basins - New boat basins (such as the one you are proposing to construct) are
considered by the DWQ as a modification of the existing shoreline. As such, a 50-foot buffer that meets the
requirements of Sections (4) and (5) of 15A NCAC 02B .0259 must be established around the newly created
shoreline. You are required to establish a new buffer around the shoreline of the basin. All associated uplanc
development (such as parking lots, buildings, etc.) and any new impervious surfaces shall not be located with
the newly established buffer or any existing protected buffers.
7. Buffer Replanting - Replanting of vegetation within disturbed areas located within 30 feet of the shoreline
associated with the boat basin and bulkhead installation, repair, replacement and/or maintenance must be doni
in an "in kind" manner immediately following construction. (Example: Disturbed areas with pre-existing
grassed lawns must be replanted with grass, Disturbed areas with pre-existing trees or woody vegetation mus
be replanted with trees and woody vegetation. Disturbed areas with pre-existing forest vegetation must be
replanted with forest vegetation including at least two different native hardwood tree species at a density
sufficient to provide 320 trees per acre at maturity. This density can usually be achieved by planting
approximately 436 (10 x 10 spacing) to 681 (8 x 8 spacing) trees per acre.)
8. The construction corridor and any disturbance associated with the tie-backs associated with the bulkhead may
not extend landward greater than 15 feet from the top of the new bulkhead.
Violations of any condition herein set forth may result in revocation of this Certification and may result in criminal
and/or civil penalties. This Certification shall become null and void unless the above conditions are made conditions.
the Federal 404 and/or coastal Area Management Act Permit. This Certification shall expire upon expiration of the 4(
or CAMA permit.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this Certification (associated with the approved wetland or stream impac1
you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask
for a hearing, send a written petition, which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the
Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This certification and its
conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.

Page 6 of 13
construction within a single family residential lakeside subdivision. Area presently cleared
adjacent to the lake is for the proposed construction of a boathouse for the single family
residence.
10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: Propose
to install bulkhead along property line. Property line is 45 linear feet along the existing
shoreline. with the adjacent property owner to the south having previously encroached onto
my property and installed 10 feet of bulkhead. I plan to excavate a 16' wide X 15' long X 4'
deep area beginning at the existing bulkhead on the south side of the lot to facilitate
construction of the boathouse in compliance with the Property Owners Association
requirements, The proposed bulkhead will total approximately 70 linear feet to stabilize
excavated high ground along the perimeter of the boathouse and the steep bank adjacent to
the lake. Work will be accomplished with a track backhoe to excavate the area for the
boathouse. with bulkhead construction not exceeding an average of 2 feet from the existing
shoreline and no more than a maximum of 5 feet from the normal pool elevation. The
bulkhead will be constructed of treated timbers and will be backfilled with clean earthen
material taken from the area excavated for the boathouse, An area 30' in width will remain
vegetated adjacent to the lake and will be replanted around the boathouse in order to be
compliant with the TarIPamlico buffer regulations with native plant species once
construction is complete.
II. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: Install a bulkhead for shoreline stabilization due
the presence of a steep bank and construct a single boathouse for personal recreational use.

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Page 9 of 13
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
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 bank adiacent to the lake is rather steep. Local Property Owner's Association
ordinances require that no structure (dock, pier or boathouse) to extend more than 10 feet into the
existing lake. Therefore. excavation within the highground on the lot as been a traditional means
of accomplishing the construction of boathouses in order to meet local ordinances, These
structures are to be constructed 10' from either property boundary in order to meet local building
ordinances as well. Construction of the boatshelterlhouse parallel to the shoreline would exceed
the 10 maximum from the existing shoreline if I was to build an pier to access the boat since the
boat is 8' wide and most piers surrounding boats for access is 4' wide. I am willing to construct
only a 3' wide pier around for safe access and moorage. Excavation into the eroding bank
reduces the impact on the existing impoundment and actually extends available pool by a few
cubic yards. Since I only own 45' of shoreline, 10' of which has already been bulkheaded, I
believe this to be the least damaging alternative that meets my proiect purpose and need since I
already own a 22' recreational boat and need a safe place for permanent moorage.
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 US ACE 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
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h20.em.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgi de.htm I.
Page 10 of 13
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.
It is my understanding that the bulkhead and boathouse/shelter are water dependent
activities. While I recognize that I have already begun lot clearing for the house and
boathouse construction, I stopped immediately upon my contact with the Corps of Engineers.
I plan to leave all remaining natural vegetation in its natural state, which consists of a 10-15
foot wide strip on the north side of the property and the 10' maintained on the S side due to
the adiacent property owner's encroachment and will replant a 30' buffer adiacent to the lake
and around the boathouse/shelter within the cleared construction limits. This buffer will be
planted with container grown red oak, white oak, flowering dogwood, American holly,
redbud, willow oak, chesnut oak, red maple and wax myrtle, The remaining 20' ofthe buffer
will be planted in grass with pre-construction contours maintained.
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
(919) 733-5208 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 http://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

X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ)
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,

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.
As indicated in Section VIII. 1.. above. I intend not to have to pay for buffer mitigation, but
propose to re-establish the areas which have already been cleared and would have needed to have
been cleared to facilitate construction of the bulkhead and boathouse/shelter.
