APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Dear Mr. Henderson: -- -
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill in 0.004 acre of wetlands in order to
install 2 culverts to provide management access to wooded blocks of Red-Cockaded Woodpecker Habitat at the USAF Dare
County Bomb Range, as you described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality on April 19, 2002.
After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number
3362, which can be viewed on our web site athttp://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands . This Certification allows you to use
Nationwide Permit Number 18 when issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. 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. 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 in writing and you may be required to send us.a new application for a new certification. If the
property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the 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). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the
conditions listed in the attached certification
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, 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, P.O. Box 27447, Ralfth,
N.C. 27611-7447. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you have
any questions, please telephone Deborah Sawyer or Tom Steffens in our Washington Regional Office at 252-946-6481 or
Cyndi Karoly in our Central Office at 919-733-9721.

Dear Mr. Dorney
Please find attached the Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) Application Form for
installation of two culverts into canals at the US Air Force Dare County Bomb Range.
These culverts will provide access to wooded areas with Red Cockaded Woodpecker (RCW)
habitat. Our Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan requires us to manage and enhance
the RCW habitat. This can only be accomplished with safe access to these areas. The currently
existing crossings are constructed of old deteriorating logs, which pose a safety hazard to
personnel and equipment. We are planning to replace these logs with permanent culverts and
some fill (rocks). All efforts will be made to prevent sedimentation from occurring in the canal.
Flow in the canals is generally nonexistent. The two culverts are 20 and 30-foot long and the
filled area is 200 square feet.
Attached is a copy of our Nationwide Permit (#18), Action ID 200210276. The required
check in the amount of $200.00 for the Section 401 water quality certification is attached to the
front of this package.
If you need further information, please do not hesitate to call Dr. Johanna E. Arnold in the
Environmental Management Office at [phone].
Sincerely
E F BR UE, , P.E.

General Water Quality Certifications, and Riparian Buffer and Watershed Buffer Rules
This form is to be used for projects qualifying for any of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE)
Nationwide, Regional or General Permits as required by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and/or
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, and for the North Carolina Division of Water Quality's
(DWQ) associated General 401 Water Quality Certifications., This form is also to be used for any
project requiring approval under any Riparian Buffer Rules implemented by the N.C. Division of Water
Quality. This form should not be used if you are requesting an Individual 404 Permit or Individual 401
Water Quality Certification. The USACE Individual Permit application form is available online at
http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/Perm app.htm
The USACE is the lead regulatory agency. To review the requirements for the use of Nationwide,
Regional or General permits, and to determine which permit applies to your project, please go to the
USACE website at http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/regtour.htm, or contact one of the field
offices listed on page 3 of this application. The website also lists the responsible project manager for
each county in North Carolina and provides additional information regarding the identification and
regulation of wetlands and waters of the U.S.
The DWQ issues a corresponding Certification (General or Individual), and cannot tell the applicant
which 401 Certification will apply until the 404 Permit type has been determined by the USACE.
Applicants are encouraged to visit DWQ's 401/Wetlands Unit website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands to read about current requirements for the 401 Water Quality
Certification Program and to determine whether or not Riparian Buffer Rules are applicable. The
applicant is also advised to read the full text of the General Certification (GC) matching the specific 404
Permit requested. In some cases, written approval for General Certifications is not required, provided
that the applicant adheres to all conditions of the GC. Applicants lacking access to the internet should
contact DWQ's Central Office in Raleigh at [phone].
Trout Waters Coordination: -. Special coordination with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC) is required for projects occurring in any of North Carolina's twent)-five
counties that contain trout waters. In such cases, the applicant should contact the appropriate NCWRC
regional coordinator (listed by county on page 4 of this application).
Page 1 of 12
A da I
M
Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Coordination - If the project occurs in any of North Carolina's
twenty coastal counties (listed on page 4) the applicant should contact the North Carolina Division of
Coastal Management (DCM). DCM will determine whether or not the project is within a designated
Area of Environmental Concern, in which case DCM will act as the lead permitting agency. In such
cases, DCM will require a CAMA Permit and will coordinate the 404/401 Permits.
The applicant may also choose to coordinate with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to ensure
that the proposed project will have no impact upon any endangered or threatened species or critical
habitat as regulated by the Endangered Species Act, and the State Historic Preservation Office, North
Carolina Department of Cultural Resources to ensure that the proposed project will have no impact upon
any properties listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Compliance with
these regulations is required to be eligible for any Department of the Army permit. The addresses for
both agencies are listed on page 3 of this application.
USACE Permits - Submit one copy of this form, along with supporting narratives, maps, data forms,
photos, etc. to the applicable USACE Regulatory Field Office. Upon receipt of an application, the
USACE will determine if the application is complete as soon as possible, not to exceed 30 days. This
PCN form is designed for the convenience of the applicant to address information needs for all USACE
Nationwide, Regional or General permits, as well as information required for State authorizations,
certifications, and coordination. Fully providing the information requested on this form will result in a
complete application for any of the USACE Nationwide, Regional or General permits. To review the
minimum amount of information that must be provided for a complete PCN for each USACE
Nationwide permit, see Condition 13, 65 Fed. Reg. 12893 (March 9, 2000), available at
http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/nwpfinalFedReg.pdf Processing times vary by permit and
begin once the application has been determined to be complete. Please contact the appropriate
regulatory field office for specific answers to permit processing periods.
401 Water Quality Certification or Buffer Rules - All information is required unless otherwise stated
as optional. Incomplete applications will be returned. Submit seven collated copies of all USACE
Permit materials b the Division of Water Quality, 401/Wetlands Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650. If written approval is required or specifically requested for a 401
Certification, then a non-refundable application fee is required. In brief, if project impacts include less
than one acre of cumulative wetland/water impacts and less than 150 feet cumulative impacts to
streams, then a fee of $200 is required. If either of these thresholds is exceeded, then a fee of $475 is
required. A check made out to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, with the specific name of
the project or applicant identified, should be stapled to the front of the application package. For more
information, see the DWQ website at http://h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/fees.html. The fee must be
attached with the application unless the applicant is a federal agency in which case the check may be
issued from a separate office. In such cases, the project must be identifiable on the U.S. Treasury check
so that it can be credited to the appropriate project. If written approval is sought solely for Buffer Rules,
the application fee does not apply, and the applicant should clearly state (in a cover letter) that only
Buffer Rule approval is sought in writing. Wetlands or waters of the U.S. may not be impacted prior to
issuance or waiver of a Section 401 Water Quality Certification. Upon receipt of a complete application
for a 401 Certification, the Division of Water Quality has 60 days to prepare a written response to the
applicant. This may include a 401 Certification, an on hold letter pending receipt of additional
requested information, or denial.

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.
Page 9 of 12
rick I
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
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
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.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wM/index.htm If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide

2. Proper Maintenance. Any structure or fill authorized shall be properly maintained, including maintenance to ensure public
safety.
3. Erosion and Siltation Controls. Appropriate erosion and siltation controls must be used and maintained in effective
operating condition during construction, and all exposed soil and other fills must be permanently stabilized at the earliest
practicable date.
4. Aquatic Life Movements. No activity may substantially disrupt the movement of those species of aquatic life indigenous
to the waterbody, including those species which normally migrate through the area, unless the activity's primary purpose is to
impound water.
5. Equipment. Heavy equipment working in wetlands must be placed on mats or other measures must be taken to minimize
soil disturbance.
6. Regional and Case-by-case Conditions. The activity must comply with any regional conditions which may have been
added by the Division Engineer and any case specific conditions added by the Corps.
7. Wild and Scenic Rivers. No activity may occur in a component of the National Wild and Scenic River System; or in a
river officially designated by Congress as a "study river" for possible inclusion in the system, while the river is in an official
study status. Information on Wild and Scenic Rivers may be obtained from the National Park Service and the U.S. Forest
Service.
8. Tribal Rights. No activity or its operation may impair reserved tribal rights, including, but not limited to, reserved water
rights and treaty fishing and hunting rights.
9. Water Quality Certification. In certain states, an individual state water quality certification must be obtained or waived.
10. Coastal Zone Management. In certain states, an individual state coastal zone management consistency concurrence
must be obtained or waived.
11. Endangered Species. No activity is authorized under any NWP which is likely to jeopardize the continued existence of
a threatened or endangered species or a species proposed for such designation, as identified under the Federal Endangered
Species Act, or which is likely to destroy or adversely modify the critical habitat of such species. Non-Federal permittees shall
notify the District Engineer if any listed species or critical habitat might be affected or is in the vicinity of the project and shall
not begin work on the activity until notified by the District Engineer that the requirements of the Endangered Species Act have
been satisfied and that the activity is authorized. Information on the location of threatened and endangered species can be
obtained from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service.
12. Historic Properties. No activity which may affect Historic Properties listed, or eligible for listing, in the National Register
of Historic Places is authorized, until the District Engineer has complied with the provisions of 33 CFR 325, Appendix C. The
prospective permittee must notify the District Engineer if the authorized activity may affect any historic properties listed,
determined to be eligible, or which the prospective permittee has reason to believe may be eligible for listing on the National
Register of Historic Places, and shall not begin the activity until notified by the District Engineer that the requirements of the
National Historic Preservation Act have been satisfied and that the activity is authorized. Information on the location and
existence of historic resources can be obtained from the State Historic Preservation Office and the National Register of Historic
Places (see 33 CFR 330.4(g)).
13. Water Supply Intakes. No discharge of dredged or fill material may occur in the proximity of a public water supply intake
except where the discharge is repair of the public water supply intake structures or adjacent bank-stabilization.
14. Shellfish Production. No discharge of dredged or fill material may occur in areas of concentrated shellfish production,
unless the discharge is directly related to a shellfish harvest activity authorized by nationwide permit.
15. Suitable Material. No discharge of dredged or fill material may consist of unsuitable material (e.g., trash, debris, car
bodies, etc.) and material discharged must be free from toxic pollutants in toxic amounts.
16. Mitigation. Discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States must be minimized or avoided to the
maximum extent practicable at the project site (i.e., on-site), unless the District Engineer has approved a compensation
mitigation plan for the specific regulated activity.
17. Spawning Areas. Discharges in spawning areas during spawning seasons must be avoided to the maximum extent
practicable.
18. Obstructions of High Flows. To the maximum extent practicable, discharges must not permanently restrict or impede
the passage of normal or expected high flows or cause the relocation of the water (unless the primary purpose of the fill is to
impound waters).
19. Adverse Impacts from Impoundments. If the discharge creates an impoundment of water, adverse impacts on the
aquatic system caused by the accelerated passage of water and/or the restriction of its flow shall be minimized to the maximum
extent practicable.
20. Waterfowl Breeding Areas. Discharges into breeding areas for migratory waterfowl must be avoided to the maximum
extent practicable.
21. Removal of Temporary Fills. Any temporary fills must be removed in their entirety and the affected areas returned to
their preexisting elevation.
