Union County
Mr. Thomas Sheridan
233 Madison Ave.
Irvington, NJ 07111
APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions, Oak Grove Subdivision-
Lot 20
Dear Mr. Sheridan:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place permanent fill in 0.16 acre of
jurisdictional wetlands and 146 linear feet of perennial streams in order to construct road crossing in lot 20 of the
Oak Grove Sudivision in Union County, as described in your application received by the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) on August 13, 2003. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered
by General Water Quality Certification Number 3404, 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 14 when it
is 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, 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, as well as
the additional condition listed below:
1. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all lots with remaining jurisdictional wetlands and
waters or areas within 50 feet of all streams and ponds on the property. These mechanisms shall be put in
place within 30 days of the date of this letter or the issuance of the 404 Permit (whichever is later). A sample
deed notification format can be downloaded from the 401/Wetlands Unit web site at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands ;
2. The culvert required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profiles are not
altered (i.e. the depth of the channel must not be reduced by a widening of the streambed). Existing stream
dimensions (including the pattern and profile) are to be maintained above and below locations of each
culvert. The culvert shall be designed and installed to allow for aquatic life movement as well as to prevent
head cutting of the streams. If any of the existing pipes are or become perched, the appropriate stream
grade shall be re-established or, if the pipes installed in a perched manner, the pipes shall be removed and
re-installed correctly;
The Applicant must submit a plan and receive written approval from this Office to address any head cutting
that will occur as a result of this project (e.g., use of cross vanes downstream of the culvert); !iZ?**'A

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
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), atfected 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 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
[phone] 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
