Catawba River Buffer Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0243) with ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS

Gemini Homes
Attn: Jim Estes
Post Office Box 1439
Denver, NC 28037

Subject Property: 5018 Kiser Island Road

Dear Mr. Estes:

You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill
within or otherwise impact approximately 0.01 acres of waters and 0.03 acres of protected riparian
buffers on Lake Norman for the purpose of constructing a wooden seawall to stabilize approximately 110
feet of shoreline, as described within your application dated March 2, 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) 3373 (GC3373). The Certification(s) allows you to use
Regional General Permit No. 198200030 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 .0243. 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 Duke Power regulations and permits. 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. For this approval to be valid, you must follow the
conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional conditions listed below.

Conditions:

1. Diffuse Flow

An additional condition is that all stormwater shall be directed as diffuse flow at non-erosive
velocities through the protected stream buffers and will not re-concentrate before discharging
into the stream as identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0243(5).

.

2. Certificate of Completion

Upon completion of all work approved within the 401 Water Quality Certification 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.

If you do not accept any of the conditions of this Certification (associated with the approved wetland or
stream impacts), 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.

Any disputes over determinations regarding this Authorization Certificate (associated with the approved
buffer impacts) shall be referred in writing to the Director for a decision. The Director's decision is
subject to review as provided in Articles 3 and 4 of G.S. 150B.

This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water
Act and the Catawba riparian buffer protection rule as described within 15A NCAC 2B .0243. If you
have any questions, please telephone John Dorney at 919-733-9646 or Bob Zarzecki at 919-733-9726.
