APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
Mr. Kent Baldwin
Providence Plantation LLP
1706 Reverdy Oaks Dr.
Matthews, NC 28105
Dear Mr. Baldwin:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill
material in 0.054 acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose of constructing three road crossings at Providence
Plantation Estates as you described in your application dated November 3, 1997. After reviewing your
application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3103. This
certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 14 when it is issued by the 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. This approval will expire when the accompanying 404 or CAMA 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 except as
modified below. If you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new
applicator. 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) (6) and (7). For this approval to be valid, you must
follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional conditions listed below.
1. Deed notices, conservation easements or similar mechanisms shall be placed in all lots with remaining
jurisdictional wetlands and waters to prevent future wetland and/or water impact. These mechanisms shall be put
in place before fill of wetlands or waters occurs. Two copies of this easement shall be sent to DWQ Central
office below.
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, Raleigh, 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 John Domey at 919-733-1786.

Dear Mr. Lund and Mr. Domey:
NCDEHNR - DWQ
Attn: Mr. John Dorney
4401 Reedy Creek Drive
Raleigh, NC 27607
The purpose of this letter is to request re-authorization for wetland impacts under Nationwide
Permit 14 and its general 401 Water Quality Certification for the project known as Providence
Plantation Estates.
Prior impacts were authorized by both the DWQ (project impacts were below notification
threshold) and Corps (199604232). See attached copy of Army Corps permit.
The Low Flow Characteristics of Stream in North Carolina states that a drainage areas of less than
1 square mile, in this, region, generally have a low-flow statistical value of zero. Road crossings B
and C are anticipated to be intermittent as their drainage areas are less than 1 square mile.
The developer has proposed a lay-out that minimizes impacts to channels within the property.
Channel crossings for roadways will utilize the shortest possible perpendicular crossing. Channels
not impacted by the proposed work will be within drainage easements and open spaces.
Sincerely,
Qhris Huysman

Dear Mr. Maynard:
50"
Reference your application of June 28, 1996 for Department of the Army
(DA) permits to fill 0.03 acres of wetlands for lot development and 0.15 acres
of waters for road crossings of Fourmile Creek and two unnamed headwater
tributaries at a proposed 73-acre residential development located west of
Weddington Road near Matthews, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.
For the purposes of the Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program, Title 33,
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330.6, published in the Federal
Register on November 22, 1991, lists nationwide permits. Authorization,
pursuant to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 and Section 404
of the Clean Water Act, was provided for fills for roads crossing waters of
the United States (including wetlands and other special aquatic sites)
provided:
a. The width of the fill is limited to the minimum necessary for the
actual crossing;
b. The fill placed in waters of the United States is limited to a filled
area of no more than one-third acre. Furthermore, no more than a total of 200
linear feet of the fill for the roadway can occur in special aquatic sites,
including wetlands;
C. The crossing in culverted, bridged or otherwise designed to prevent
the restriction of, and withstand, expected high flows and the movement of
aquatic organisms;
d. The crossing, including all attendant features, both temporary and
permanent, is part of a single and complete project for crossing of a water of
the United States; and
e. For fills in special aquatic sites, including wetlands, the permittee
notifies the District Engineer (DE) in accordance with the "Notification"
general condition.
Authorization was also provided, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water
