APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Condition
Dear Mr. Gibbs:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill in 0.10 acre of wetlands in
order to construct a residence on your lot in Dare County, as described in your application received by the
Division of Water Quality on June 30, 2003. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is
covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3402, which can be viewed on our web site at
http://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 anew
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 and the additional
conditions listed below:
1. Upon completion of the project, the Applicant shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" form to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the 401 Certification has been completed. The
responsible party shall complete the attached form and return it to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the NC Division
of Water Quality upon completion of the project.
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,
6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. 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.

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
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 proposed impact wetland fill) was limited to a total of 0.10 acre. Site plan was
desimned to conform with the existing residential homes within this subdivision. Original house
location on site plan was moved closer to the road (to edge of MBL setback) to reduce the
amount of wetland impacts to 0.10 acre. Deck width was reduced to allow for septic setbacks
and minimize wetland impacts. Adjacent fill on developed Lot 106 could promote potential
surface runoff to Lot 107, therefore, proposed fill should eliminate potential surface runoff from
Lot 106. Silt fence will be placed at the wetland fill interface to prevent intrusion of fill material
into areas not permitted for fill.

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
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.
Mitigation proposed will be a conservation easement on site (0.3 acre) which is the remaining 404 wetlands
on site, excluding a seven foot buffer adjacent to the proposed area of fill Once approval is obtained from
USACE, the conservation easement will be recorded by the title attorney, obtained by Clarence Gibbs
(landowner), per requirements by USACE and Wetlands Restoration Program (WRP). Recorded conservation
casement will prohibit any activity which would result in the wetlands being adversely impacted or destroyed
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 littp_//tt2o.enr.state.nc.us/wm/index.htm. If
lv
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): N/A
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):- N/A
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A

possible. Thanks.

030868 - Issue n/c CONCUR
000064 4 Issue w/ standard conditions CONCUR
030819 - weird ...I can't figure out how the fill line and wetland line match up...it looks like they are
not proposing fill south of the house and north of the "conservation easement area"... recommend
issue with site specific condition that they do not exceed 1110th of an acre ...(When do the USACE
plan on dealing with the cummulative impacts from these subdivisions (as allowed for under their
new regs) and counting all of these lots as one project? Good question to discuss over a beer with
Scott Jones.) CONCUR, BUT ASK APPLICANT TO EXPLAIN LOT NUMBERING SYSTEM
BETWEEN THIS AND 03-0837; seems like the same lot
030838 - WRC opposed to bulkhead... recommend place on hold to answer question, "Is it needed?"...
CONCUR
030864 - wants to remove a plug (why was it installed in the first place? regulatory reason ?) ... big
project but mostly upland impacts beyond dredging and bulkheads... needs your expert review HOLD-
APPLICANT NEEDS TO EXPLAIN WHY PLUG IS THERE,1 COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY
EITHER
030831 - WRC wants preservation of wetlands on site... the USACE may require this but the
applicant's proposed impacts are less than 1 acre so no mitigation required from us...we can
certainly require that they install the culvert... recommend Issue w/ culvert CONCUR
030837 - similiar issue as 030819... they have a strip of what appears to be either existing uplands or
they're not accounting for all of their impacts... Issue with same conditions as 030819 CONCUR -

Hi Tom and Stephen
Below is this week's 401 Tracking Notice for the Washington Regional
Office. The Central Office has not received your recommendations for
these projects as of August 21, 2003. If you have not received any
application, please let me know and I will fax it to you. Please take
note of the date received in the Central office and the 60-day clock
projection. If we do not have your comments by two weeks before the
clock expires, we may have to prepare the 401 without incorporating your
comments, in order to avoid waiving the 401. Two weeks from today, the
application will be forwarded to the appropriate Central Office staff
member (Bob Zarzecki) if we do not have Regional Office comments by
then. The CO staff will then consult you if time allows and make a
recommendation on the 401 to John Dorney.

RE: DWQ Number 030804, Nationwide Permit Application for a Fill Activity at Heritage
Point, Roanoke Island, Dare County.
Dear Mr. Gibbs:
The North Carolina Division of Coastal Management has reviewed your application, dated June
27, 2003, for a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit, pursuant to Section 307 of the
Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended. Based upon our review, we have
determined that the proposed activity is consistent with the North Carolina Coastal Management
Program subject to the following conditions:
1. The activity described in your application is for the issuance of a U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers Nationwide Permit, Number 18, under 33 CFR Part 300. Any modification
of your proposed activity, or change in the Nationwide Permit Number that you are
seeking, will require an additional review for consistency by this office.
2. Since the activity that you propose involves impacts to waters and/or wetlands, a 401
Water Quality Certification must be obtained from the North Carolina Division of
Water Quality, which our records indicate you have already received.
Please understand that this letter does not relieve you of the responsibility to ensure that all other
applicable State authorizations and/or permit requirements are met prior to implementation of the
project. Please feel free to contact me at [phone] if you have any questions or need
further assistance.
Sincerely,
j
