Dear Mr. Schuster,
'I
vlJ%i' , d
This letter is in response to the October 21, 2002, meeting to discuss the Covington,
Meadows Subdivision Notice of Violation and Enforcement Action Recommendation.
During this meeting, DWQ staff requested that the contested Neuse Riparian Buffer
adjacent to the proposed cul-de-sac off of Optimist Ridge Trail (southeast corner of site)
be accounted for and included in materials submitted as part of the Revised PCN
Application Package dated September 10, 2002 (submitted to DWQ on September I1,
2002).
Attached is a revised "Wetlands and NRB Impact Analysis" (EX-1) that includes the
contested Neuse Riparian Buffer. Please note that the cul-de-sac has been shifted to the
south to accommodate a revised lot layout that is completely exclusive of the Neuse
Riparian Buffer. This revised exhibit indicates an existing impact, a gravity sanitary
sewer line that is currently installed. The Owner requests that this sanitary sewer impact
be permitted as shown on the revised EX-1 since this involves no introduction of
impervious surfaces to the Buffer. The proposed permanent Neuse Riparian Buffer
impacts are quantified and labeled as "Impact Area #9". Proposed permanent Neuse
Riparian Buffer impacts for the sanitary sewer, labeled as "Impact Area #9", total 5,577
ft2 (2, 035 ft2 in Zone 1; 3, 542 ft2 in Zone 2). With the exception of the previously
permitted and existing road crossing labeled as "Impact Area #2", no impervious surfaces
are proposed for installation within the Neuse Riparian Buffer.
An additional exhibit (Existing Neuse Buffer Impact Evaluation, EX-2) is included with
this response to indicate the extent of the existing temporary impacts to the contested
Neuse Riparian Buffer. These impacts were created during the installation of the sanitary

sewer line and preliminary clearing and grading for the cul-de-sac as indicated on the
"Wetlands and NRB Impact Analysis" that was submitted on September 11, 2002. While
the limits of the disturbance are clear, the total area of impact is difficult to quantify
because several mature trees remain unharmed within the disturbed area. These mature
trees include two Red Maples (dbh 6" and 22 "), one Willow Oak (dbh 10 ") and four
White Oaks (dbh 10 ", 12 ", 17" and 20 ") as identified and located on the "Existing
Neuse Buffer Impact Evaluation". Ignoring the contribution of these remaining mature
hardwood trees, the total impact to the Neuse Ripar' s 11,074 ft2 (6,116ft2 in
Zone 1; 4, 958 ft2 in Zone 2; Total Mitigation fee $24, 753.60). If the mature hardwood
trees were accounted for, the true impact or functio oss of buffer would be
considerably less. If DWQ staff allows the existing sanitary sewer to remain in its
current location, the total buffer impact that would require revegetation (through natural
regeneration or supplemental plantings) is 5,497 ft2 (4,081 ft2 in Zone 1; 1, 416 ft2 in
Zone 2; Total Mitigation fee of $13, 792.32). Mitigation fees are calculated per 15A
NCAC 02B .0242 (7)(a).
It is our professional opinion that the disturbed areas within the Neuse Riparian Buffer
will aggressively revegetate themselves next spring without any assistance from the
Owner. This opinion is derived from and supported by the amount of live root mass
remaining within the disturbed area, observation of seeds produced by mature trees and
by the existing natural regeneration of trees on upland portions of the property that were
timbered prior to the Owner's purchase of the property. Much of the disturbance consists
of merely pushing the layer of forest litter and understory growth to the edge of the
disturbed area. We anticipate that the natural regeneration that will occur next spring will
provide a density of trees well in excess of the required 320 trees per acre and much more
species diversity than the required two native hardwood species per 15A NCAC 02B
.0242 (9)(d)(ii). Additionally, if the required density of trees is not naturally regenerated
by winter 2003, 2004, the Owner proposes to supplement existing naturally regenerated
trees with planted trees sufficient to meet this required density. However, if DWQ staff
does not agree with this assessment or the proposed restoration plan, the Owner is willing
to revegetate the disturbed area by planting trees sufficient to meet the required density
for Neuse Riparian Buffer restoration. Please note that the channel and its adjacent
buffer have already been returned to natural grade. Additionally, the entire disturbed area
was stabilized with seed and mulch on October 22, 2002, the day after the meeting to
discuss the DWQ Notice of Violation and Enforcement Action Recommendation.
As a result of conversations with DWQ staff, the Owner anticipates that a fine will be
levied upon him for unauthorized impacts to the contested Neuse Riparian Buffer. To
address this anticipated fine, the Owner offers to donate 0.61 acres of land within the
Covington Meadows Development to DWQ or its designee. The property proposed for
donation is labeled as "Open Space" and is immediately south of lot 49 in the southeast
corner of the site. The average sale price of lots within the subdivision is $70,000. The
average lot size within the subdivision is 0.35 acres. Hence, the average unit price of
land within the subdivision is $200,000 per acre. Using this calculated unit price of land
within the subdivision, the value of the 0.61 acres offered to DWQ by the Owner is
$122,000. Additionally, the Owner asks that DWQ staff recognize that one home lot was
Page 2 of 3
r
voluntary lost by redesigning the cul-de-sac in the southeast corner of the site. This lot
cannot be replaced and hence, represents a $70,000 reduction in capital to the Owner.
The combined value of donated property and lost capital equates to a total of $192,000.
This is nearly eight times the mitigation fee if the sanitary sewer is not allowed to remain
in its current location and nearly 14 times the mitigation fee if the sanitary sewer is
allowed to remain in its current location. The Owner requests that this donation of
property and loss of a home lot be considered by DWQ staff in lieu of imposing a
monetary fine.
It is our hope that this response to the meeting held to discuss the DWQ Notice of
Violation and Enforcement Action Recommendation on October 21, 2002, will bring
closure to the issues of DWQ permitting for this site. As displayed by recent remedial
actions, the Owner would like nothing more than to work with DWQ to bring this site
into full compliance. Please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Chris Majewski or me if you
have any further questions, comments or concerns about any of these issues.

Re: Notice of Violation and Enforcement Action Recommendation for Covington
Meadows Subdivision - Wake County
DWQ Project # 00-0816
S&N Project # 309-01
Dear Mr. Schuster,
This letter is in response to the Notice of Violation and Enforcement Action
Recommendation for Covington Meadows Subdivision dated September 9, 2002. This
Notice of Violation and Enforcement Action Recommendation was received by Mr. Chris
Majewski, the Financially Responsible Party and an officer of Majewski Enterprises,
Inc., on September 17, 2002. For clarity, significant issues are discussed in the order in
which they appear in your letter.
DWQ's September 9, 2002, Notice of Violation and Enforcement Action
Recommendation states that:
"During the June 21, 2002, site visit the investigators took photographs,
measurements and made observations of Neuse Riparian Zone impacts beyond that
authorized in the June 23, 2002, 401 Water Quality Certification. Specifically, a
road crossing, labeled as crossing #3 'in the PCN, was not perpendicular as depicted
in the application. As such, this crossing impacted approximately 75 feet of
streamside riparian buffer vegetation beyond what was indicated in the
authorization."
The road crossing labeled as crossing #3 is installed as indicated on the PCN Application
prepared by Soil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. (S&EC) dated June 16, 2000, and
approved by DWQ on June 23, 2000. Through no fault of the Owner, the stream and
associated Neuse Buffer at this crossing was not accurately identified, located or
presented in the June 16, 2000, PCN Application. However, as presented in the recently
submitted "Additional Information for Covington Meadows Subdivision in the form of a
Phone: [phone] • Fax: [phone]Pa*gP 2oJnity Road • Raleigh, North Carolina 27607
Revised Pre-Construction Application Package", dated September 10, 2002, and
submitted to DWQ and the USACE on September 11, 2002, the Owner proposed to
remove this crossing and all associated fill within the Neuse Buffer and revegetate this
affected area before the Notice of Violation and Enforcement Action Recommendation
was received. The Owner-is committed to performing this work immediately upon
receiving approval for disturbance of this area from Wake County Erosion Flood and
Stormwater Services, weather permitting.
DWQ's September 9, 2002, Notice of Violation and Enforcement Action
Recommendation states that:
"Also, an approximately 20 foot wide road crossing, not depicted in the 401 Water
Quality Certification, was observed to cross the unnamed tributary to Middle Creek
along the Northern edge of the tract. "
As noted in the Revised Pre-Construction Application Package referenced above, the
road crossing near the Northern edge of the property was apparently installed as a
temporary access crossing during timbering activities on the property prior to Mr.
Majewski's purchase of the property on August 5, 1999. The non-permitted installation
of this road crossing was in no way the fault of the current Owner. The responsibility for
permitting this crossing and removing it after it was no longer needed resides with the
previous owner and/or the timbering company that actually installed the crossing.
However, as proposed in the Revised PCN Application Package, the Owner offers to
remove this road crossing and associated fill material and revegetate the buffer at his own
cost.
DWQ's September 9, 2002, Notice of Violation and Enforcement Action
Recommendation states that:
"During the June 21, 2002, site visit, DWQ staff requested to review copies of the
Sediment and Erosion Control Plan and General Stormwater Permit monitoring
records. The Erosion and Sedimentation plan, logbooks or records were not
provided to DWQ staff as they were not available. (It is noted that staff were
informed by a telephone call from Spaulding and Norris that the Sedimentation
and Erosion Control Plan was placed on site later that afternoon.) "
The erosion control "Letter of Approval" issued by Wake County Erosion, Flood and
Stormwater Services on August 25, 2000, states, "Attached is the General Stormwater
NPDES Permit, NCGO1000, as revised July 1, 1995, covering your activity." In fact, the
General Stormwater NPDES Permit was not attached to this "Letter of Approval". Mr.
Dave Parnell agreed that he is not sure that a copy of the General Stormwater NPDES
Permit was attached to the "Letter of Approval". Since this project is the first
development project undertaken by the Owner, he had no prior experience to tell him that
a copy of this Permit was missing or to make him aware of the requirements of the
Permit. There was no reason for the Owner to believe that the "Letter of Approval" itself
and the attached materials, absent of the General Stormwater NPDES Permit, did not
Page 2 of 8
constitute the entirety of the requirements placed upon him. As documented by DWQ's
statement above, the Owner immediately began to comply with the conditions of the
General Stormwater NPDES Permit upon notification of its conditions by DWQ staff on
June 21, 2002. Please note that the Owner began to comply with the conditions of the
Permit one full month prior to ever receiving a copy of the Permit on July 22, 2002. Mr.
Majewski never received a copy of the General Stormwater NPDES Permit until it was
hand delivered to the site by DWQ staff on July 22; 2002. Since June 21, 2002, a copy of
the current approved Sediment and Erosion Control Plan has been kept on site. In
addition, the Owner's copy of the "Notice of Violation and Enforcement Action
Recommendation" states that "an additional copy of this permit is attached with this
correspondence." Just as with the August 25, 2000, Sedimentation and Erosion Control
"Letter of Approval", there actually was no copy of the General Stormwater NPDES
Permit attached. As requested, a copy of all weekly inspections, inspections subsequent
to rain events greater than 0.5 inches, rain gauge data and inspection information that was
recorded with respect to measures taken to clean up sediment that left the disturbed limits
of the site is included with this letter.
DWQ's September 9, 2002, Notice of Violation and Enforcement Action
Recommendation states that:
"The review of the most recent PCN application (received by DWQ from Spaulding
& Norris, PA on May 9, 2002, and placed on hold by DWQ on June 25, 2002 for
Covington Meadows Subdivision) indicated that three stream features, which were
previously depicted in the Optimist Farm submittal, were omitted from the
Covington Meadows submittal, "
The recently submitted Revised PCN Application Package, dated September 10, 2002,
does indicate two of the stream features referred to in the above statement (streams
impacted by crossing #1 and crossing #3). The third stream (stream impacted by
crossing #2; located in the southeast corner of the site) is not included because it is an
ephemeral channel. The ephemeral classification of this channel was field verified by the
US Army Corps of Engineers on July 30, 2002. An attempt to receive a field verification
from DWQ staff during the June 21, 2002, field visit produced no immediate ruling.
Spaulding & Norris, PA, staff, accompanied by Mr. Danny Smith of the Central Office
and Ms. Debbie Edwards of the Raleigh Regional Office of DWQ visited the stream in
question on June 21, 2002, in search of field verification of the classification of this
stream channel. After extensive hand augering and discussions in several locations
within and around the stream channel and after an exhaustive investigation of the entire
length of the channel, Mr. Smith and Ms. Edwards declined to make a ruling on this
channel's classification or its inherent subjectivity to the Neuse Buffer Rules. When
asked for their ruling on the channel's classification, Mr. Smith responded "I (Mr. Smith)
am not here to do your job for you", implying that he and Ms. Edwards would rely on the
stream classification determined by Spaulding & Norris, PA, and that, in their opinion,
staff from Spaulding & Norris, PA, are completely competent to classify this channel. It
is the professional opinion of staff from Spaulding & Norris, PA, that this channel is in
fact ephemeral and hence does not require the maintenance of Neuse Buffers. This
Page 3 of 8
classification was further confirmed using the "Internal Guidance Manual for NC
Division of Water Quality Stream Classification Method". On July 3, 2002, Spaulding &
Norris, PA, staff completed the "NCDWQ Stream Classification Form" for this channel.
The resultant score for this channel was 12.5; 6.5 points less than the required 19 point
minimum score for determining an intermittent channel. Per the "Internal Guidance
Manual for NC Division of Water Quality Stream Classification Method", "The 19 point
minimum score for determining an intermittent channel was based on the results of over
300 individual field trials conducted in the Piedmont and Coastal Plain portions of the
Neuse River Basin during May, June, July and August of 1998, as well as field testing
conducted during December 1998 and January 1999." This stream's classification as an
ephemeral channel is further supported by the US Army Corps of Engineers, as
evidenced by the signed wetland delineation map. Hence, this channel, which in our
professional opinion is not jurisdictional, is not indicated on maps/exhibits in the
"Revised PCN Application Package". Spaulding & Norris, PA, staff would like to
discuss this particular issue further. The Owner is willing to consider additional
conditions DWQ may suggest to rectify this particular issue. Please recognize that
additional buffer is being preserved along the main channel on the property. This
additional buffer supplies approximately 6.3 additional acres (approximately 2,800 linear
feet) of forested buffer that will provide stormwater treatment in excess of that supplied
by the typical 50-foot Neuse Riparian Buffers.
DWQ's September 9, 2002, Notice of Violation and Enforcement Action
Recommendation states that:
"Also, a review of the revised Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan, dated May
6, 2002 indicated that these buffers were omitted from these plans as weld"
A newly revised Erosion Control Plan, that correctly identifies Neuse Buffers on the site,
was approved on August 27, 2002. The "Sedimentation & Erosion Control Letter of
Approval", dated August 27, 2002, states "All Neuse River Riparian Buffers are
apparently represented correctly as approved by DWQ."
DWQ's September 9, 2002, Notice of Violation and Enforcement Action
Recommendation states that:
"During the June 21, 2002, and July 22, 2002 site visits a review of the Optimist
Farm Road Subdivision, care of Central Carolina Homes was conducted by DWQ
staff. Within the Certification issued on June 23, 2000, a requirement for Deed
notifications was stipulated as follows:
`Deed notification 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
to notify the state in order to assure compliance for future wetlands and/or water
impact. 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).' Please provide this
Office with copies of deeds for lots containing this notification. "
Page 4 of 8
The Town of Cary Development Ordinance states that "No single family lots, created
through a development plan, shall be platted into a riparian buffer as required by Chapter
14.1.4(m)." This requirement alone ensures that no lots will be platted into the riparian
buffers on the site. The only proposed lot that will require this notification, lot 48,
contains a small area of jurisdictional wetlands in its southwest corner. Currently; no lots
have been platted for this subdivision. Hence, no Deeds are in existence for any
proposed lots within this project. Since no Deeds are in existence for these proposed lots,
it is impossible for this notification to have been placed on them. The Owner would like
to assure DWQ that Lot 48 will have this notification placed on its Deed when platted.
DWQ's September 9, 2002, Notice of Violation and Enforcement Action
Recommendation states that:
"Wake County's site visit records, dated April 2, 3 and S, 2002, June 19, 2002, July
16, 17 and 22, 2002, and August 2, 7, 9 and 13, 2002, consistently report the same
violations, insufficient measures to retain sediment on site and the failure to
maintain erosion control measures."
The only notice of violation ever received from Wake County Environmental Services is
dated July 24, 2002. The Owner did not receive this notice until August 7, 2002, due to
an incorrect address on the envelope. These violations should have been reported to the
Owner or the Contractor when they were first observed. As Mr. Majewski has displayed
through his recent remedial actions, these violations would have been addressed and
corrected immediately upon notification. Since the Owner's receipt of this notice of
violation, all outstanding issues with sedimentation and erosion control measures have
been addressed and approved by Wake County.
DWQ's September 9, 2002, Notice of Violation and Enforcement Action
Recommendation states that:
"Please explain the following; 1) why were the Neuse River Buffers for the tract,
with exception of the main channel, omitted from the current PCNApplication
(received by DWQ on May 9, 2002), 2) why the buffers for the tract were initially
included in the Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan for Optimist Farm Road,
and 3) why the Neuse Buffers were excluded from the plans during Covington
Meadows Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan approval?"
The buffers for the tract were initially included in the Sedimentation and Erosion Control
Plan for Optimist Farm Road Subdivision to reflect the delineation provided by S&EC.
The reason these buffers did not appear on the Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan
approved for Covington Meadows Subdivision is unclear. We believe this accidental
omission occurred as a result of confusion caused by the many plan revisions this project
has been through over its three year history. As explained in the recently submitted
revised PCN Application Package dated September 10, 2002, this project began in
August of 1999 as a Wake County subdivision which required individual, on-site septic
Page 5 of 8
systems for each lot. The original Sedimentation and-Erosion Control Plan that was
approved on August 25, 2000, was representative of this scenario. On January 24, 2002,
the Town of Cary reached an agreement with the Owner to provide water and sanitary
sewer services for this project. In turn, the Owner was required by the Town of Cary
Development Ordinances to maintain an undisturbed 100 foot buffer on each side of the
main channel that bisects the property into eastern and western halves. This is the only
channel on the property that requires these expanded buffers. We believe that the
accidental omission of the remaining buffers occurred at the time the expanded Town of
Cary Buffer was applied to the main channel. I cannot express strongly enough that this
omission was purely accidental and was in no way intended as a means of intentional
elimination of Neuse Buffers. This accidental omission of remaining Neuse Buffers on
the Covington Meadows Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan simply carried over
onto the PCN Application Package that was submitted to DWQ on May 8, 2002. While
we do regret that this accidental omission occurred, it was discovered during the PCN
Application review process. The plans have been revised accordingly and should be
considered a resolved issue.
DWQ's September 9, 2002, Notice of Violation and Enforcement Action
Recommendation requests that the following items be addressed:
1. Please detail when the fill material will be removed from the Neuse Buffer
Zone. This material should be placed in uplands, outside of the riparian zone
and stabilized (Note. you may need to modify your Sedimentation and Erosion
Control Plan to accommodate this work). Please indicate in your response a
schedule with dates when detailing how this will be accomplished
The fill material within the Neuse Buffer at crossing #3 will be removed within two
weeks of obtaining approval of a revised Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan
from Wake County. This revised Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan will
identify the area of fill to be removed, as required by the Notice of Violation and
Enforcement Action Recommendation. An acceptable stabilization method will also
be designated for this location on the Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan. Since
the removal of this fill material is dependent upon receipt of approval of a revised
Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan, it is impossible to specify a date when this
work will commence or be completed.
2. Please provide information regarding the deed notifications, a 401 Water
Quality Certification condition, as described above.
As mentioned earlier in this response, no lots have been platted for this subdivision at
this time. Hence no deeds exist to allow for this notification to be placed on them.
The Owner wishes to assure DWQ that this notification will be placed on the deed for
Lot #48. Lot #48 is the only proposed lot that will require this notification.
3. Please provide information detailing your compliance with the Minimum
Monitoring and Reporting Requirements as requested above.
Page 6 of 8
The Owner has performed monitoring and reporting as required by conditions of the
General Stormwater NPDES Permit since the first day he was verbally notified of
these requirements on June 21, 2002, one full month before ever receiving a written
copy of the Permit. Copies of monitoring data are attached-for your use.
4. You should clearly discuss your efforts to come into full compliance with the
General Stormwater Permit. You should also detail the events that resulted in
your non-compliance with the above mentioned permit conditions (A copy of
this permit is attached).
Through the Owners recent remedial actions, he has displayed nothing less than a full
commitment to bring this site into compliance with all conditions of the General
Stormwater NPDES Permit. A revised Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan was
submitted to Wake County` and subsequently approved on August 27, 2002. DWQ's
statement above that a copy of the Permit is attached displays the core of the reason
these violations occurred. A copy of the General Stormwater NPDES Permit was not
attached to the Notice of Violation and Enforcement Action Recommendation.
Twice, the Owner has received correspondences from regulatory agencies that stated
that a copy of the General Stormwater NPDES Permit was attached when in fact it
was not. The Owner, who had never seen this permit before, simply did not know
that a copy of the permit was missing. As a result, he was not aware of its conditions.
It is unreasonable to expect permit condition compliance from someone who had
never been provided a copy of the permit.
5. Riparian Zone Planting Plan -It is required that a planting plan be developed
such that, at least two native tree species be planted at a density sufficient to
provide 320 trees per acre at maturity. This density can be achieved by planting
approximately 436 (10 x 10 feet spacing) to 681(8 x 8 feet spacing) trees per
acre. Please see the attached Guidelines for Riparian Buffer Restoration
(January 2001) for assistance in developing your plan. Your plan must include
the types of native woody vegetation selected, methodology of planting, and site
map indicating the location of the plantings
Spaulding & Norris, PA, will develop a planting plan for the area designated as
crossing #3 that meets the requirements mentioned above. All of the information
required by the statement above will be included in this plan. However, as with the
General Stormwater NPDES Permit, a copy of the Guidelines for Riparian Buffer
Restoration was not attached to the Notice of Violation and Enforcement Action
Recommendation. A copy of this guide for use by Spaulding & Norris, PA, staff
would be appreciated and will prove helpful when designing the planting plan.
6. With respect to the Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan, a modification of
this plan that accurately depicts riparian buffers is necessary. Please indicate
in your response a schedule with dates when detailing how this will be
Page 7 of 8
accomplished. You should also explain how you propose to prevent these
problems from reoccurring with this project and with future projects.
As mentioned earlier in this response, a revised Sedimentation and Erosion Control
Plan that accurately depicts the Neuse,Buffers, with the exception of the contested
feature in the southeast corner of the property, was approved by Wake County on
August 27, 2002. The Owner admits that there have been compliance issues with this
site, but asks that DWQ take into account that this is his first development project.
The Owner also asks that DWQ recognize that as soon as problems have been pointed
out to him, all have been addressed within a matter of days or even hours. This
project has been a tremendous learning experience for the Owner. The knowledge
and experience gained through problem identification and resolution on this site will
not be forgotten in the future. The Owner has repeatedly expressed his desire to bring
this site into full compliance with all regulatory conditions and to maintain this
compliance for the remainder of this site's development.
It is our hope that this response to the Notice of Violation and Enforcement Action
Recommendation will bring closure to the issues of DWQ permitting, compliance with
conditions of the General Stormwater NPDES Permit and/or sedimentation and erosion
control violations for this site. As displayed by recent remedial actions, the Owner would
like nothing more than to work with DWQ and Wake County to bring this site into full
compliance. Please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Chris Majewski or me if you have any
further questions, comments or concerns about any of these issues.

February 20, 2003
Dear Mr. Dorney:
I am currently working on a project on Optimist Farm Rd. known
Meadows. I have obtained all the necessary permits from the DW
Q
ll ??
as Covington
Q and I am in the
process of fulfilling the obligations of the 401 permit IT 00-0816 project IT 020717. The
scope of the work consisted of widening Optimist Farm Road for the subdivision and
extending a culvert that went under Optimist Farm Road to accommodate the widening.
There is an existing head wall on the upstream side of the culvert that we had planned to
attach our pipe extension to. However, after inspection by the Department of
Transportation of the existing pipe they have determined that the current pipe is in such
disrepair the only option they are willing to except is to replace the pipe.
The N.C. D.O.T. will not allow me to proceed with the widening unless I replace the
entire section of pipe, and the Town of Cary will not accept the subdivision without the
widening complete. I have been successful in getting assurances from both the D.O T
and the town, that they will provide some material resources, traffic control, etc. in order
to start and complete the project as fast as possible.
I am notifying your office of this work because of the stream that the existing culvert is
in. After conversations with my soil scientist and with Steve Mitchell I have been advised
that the culvert replacement would be considered an exempt activity because of its
existing use. We would merely be removing and replacing an existing pipe with the same
pipe in the same location and improving the current condition of the stream. I hope my
assumptions are correct. I have scheduled the work to begin on Monday March P 2003.
If there are any additional requirements I am overlooking please notify me before this
date, otherwise I will assume there are none and will proceed with the work.
I appreciate your time and consideration in this matter. I would also like to thank you
and your staff for continuing to work with me to complete this complex project.
Sincerely
Chris Majewski

Re: Additional Information for Covington Meadows Subdivision in form of Revised
Pre-Construction Notification Application Package - Cary, Wake County
Dear Mrs. Jones and Mr. Domey,
Attached is the revised, completed PCN Application Form for the Covington Meadows
Subdivision. This revised PCN Application Package is submitted in response to your
"Incomplete Application Notification" (USACE, July 30, 2002), "Request for Additional
Information" (NCDWQ, June 25, 2002) and in light of additional information received by and
created by Spaulding & Norris, PA, since the most recent PCN Application package for this
project was submitted on April 26, 2002. Copies of all correspondences mentioned in this letter
are included with this PCN Application Package.
The Covington Meadows site is owned by Majewski Enterprises, Inc. The Owner of the property
plans to develop it into the subdivision mentioned above according to the attached "Wetland &
Neuse River Buffer Impact Analysis". Impacts on the site are results of the proposed widening of
Optimist Farm Road, which includes the extension of the existing CMP culvert, proposed
installation of new sanitary sewer mains that will provide sewer services to the proposed
development and two road crossings (one existing, one proposed that will provide access to the
northern portions of the property. No additional impacts are proposed for this site, however
intentions of adjacent landowners are unknown.
Project History
* Soil & Environmental Consultants submitted the original PCN Application Package for this
project on June 16, 2000. On June 23, 2000, the NCDWQ issued their "Approval of 401 Water
Quality Certification and Neuse Buffer Rules with Conditions" for impacts proposed in the June
16, 2000 PCN Application. On August 2, 2000, the USACE issued their "General Permit
(Regional and Nationwide) Verification" for impacts proposed in the June 16, 2000 PCN
Application. Impacts that were permitted through these actions included fill of 0.049 acres of
wetlands, 161 linear feet of streams and disturbance of 0.285 acres of Neuse Buffers associated
with these streams (0.214 acres in Zone 1; 0.071 acres in Zone 2). No mitigation was required
for any of these permitted impacts.
At the time S&EC submitted the original PCN Application for this project, the project was
designed as a Wake County subdivision with a community well. Each lot was intended to have
its own individual septic system. For this reason, there were fewer, but larger lots as compared to
the current site plan. Additionally, there were no lots in the northwest corner of the site due to the
lack of soils suitable for septic systems in this area. On January 24, 2002, the Owner reached an
Phone: [phone] * Fax: [phone] * 972 Trinity Road • Raleigh, North Carolina 27607
agreement with The Town of Cary to serve the project with Town water and sanitary sewer
services. This agreement with The Town of Cary allowed the Owner to serve more lots than was
originally planned.
r
As part of the Developer's Agreement, The Town of Cary has required the Owner to widen
Optimist Farm Road. Additionally, since the proposed subdivision will now be served by The
Town of Cary's gravity sanitary sewer system, a temporary wetland impact and a stream and
Neuse Buffer crossing is required. The location of this sanitary sewer crossing was largely
determined by the combination of site topography and The Town of Cary's required 50-foot
Streetscape Buffer. This proposed road widening and gravity sanitary sewer installation will
cause wetland, stream and Neuse Buffer impacts in excess of those presented and permitted in
2000.
On May 8, 2002, Spaulding & Norris, PA, submitted the second PCN Application Package for
this project, reflecting the additional impacts mentioned above. After this Application was
submitted, it became apparent that additional information was needed for accurate preparation,
evaluation and processing of the Application. Since this time, staff from Spaulding & Norris, PA,
have completed a detailed delineation of all streams and wetlands that will potentially be
impacted by the proposed development. On-site concurrence meetings were held with staff from
both the USACE and the NCDWQ to confirm the delineation reflected on the attached "Wetlands
Delineation Map". The attached "Wetland & Neuse River Buffer Impact Analysis" indicates all
proposed impacts and all existing, permitted impacts.
Town of Cary ordinance 14.6.3 (a) requires a 100-foot buffer on each side of blue-line streams
that appear on the appropriate USGS Quadrangle map(s). Hence, the perennial channel that
bisects the property has 100-foot buffers applied to it, as indicated on the "Wetland & Neuse
River Buffer Impact Analysis". The two remaining subject channels have 50-foot Neuse Buffers
applied to them as required by 15A NCAC 02B .0233 (3). According to the Wake County Soil
Survey, three additional channels are present on this property. However, each of these mapped
features were classified as ephemeral channels or were simply found to be non-existent during a
NCDWQ on-site concurrence meeting on June 21, 2002. Per Town of Cary ordinance 14.6.3 (e),
all lots in this subdivision are located outside of the jurisdictional stream buffers.

Summary of Existing and Proposed Impacts
There are seven locations where impacts to wetlands, streams and/or Neuse Buffers exist or are
proposed for this project. As mentioned above, these existing and proposed impacts on the site
are results of the proposed widening of Optimist Farm Road, which includes the extension of the
existing CMP culvert, proposed installation of new sanitary sewer mains that will provide sewer
services to the proposed development and two road crossings that will provide access to the
northern portions of the property.
One location that was identified as having stream and Neuse Buffer impacts in the June 16, 2000,
PCN Application submittal by S&EC is incorrect. This location is indicated as "Crossing 2" on
the June 2000, "Optimist Farm Road Impact Map". On-site concurrence meetings with the
USACE and the NCDWQ confirm that this location contains no jurisdictional wetland or stream
and hence, no associated Neuse Buffers. Since activities in this location actually required no 401,
404 or Neuse Buffer Permits, permitted impacts for this location are not included in the summary
of total impacts for the site.
The remaining two stream crossings that were appropriately permitted as a result of the June 16,
2000, PCN Application submittal have been constructed for some time. These impacts, identified
as "Crossing 1" and "Crossing 3" in the June 16, 2000, PCN Application account for a total of
0.049 acres of wetland impacts, 98 linear feet of permanent stream impacts and 7,308 square feet
of Neuse Buffer impacts.
The current site plan is indicated on the "Wetland & Neuse River Buffer Impact Analysis". The
Owner proposes to remove the existing permitted crossing identified as "Crossing 3" in the June
16, 2000, PCN Application (Impact #3 this Revised PCNApplication) in order to construct the
crossing identified as Impact #4 on the "Wetland & Neuse River Buffer Impact Analysis".
However, proposed Crossing #4 is for an NCDOT paved subdivision road, where existing
Crossing #3 is for a simple, unpaved access path to the now abandoned community well site.
Hence, proposed impacts for Crossing #4 are greater than existing, permitted impacts for
Crossing #3. The Owner proposes to remove existing Crossing #3, restore the channel in this
location to its natural cross-section, reestablish the associated Neuse Buffers and apply this
permitted amount of impacts to proposed Crossing #4, per conversations with Mrs. Amanda
Jones.
As previously mentioned, additional impacts that are proposed for this site per the current site
plan include the widening of Optimist Farm Road (Impact #S), installation of a gravity sanitary
sewer line (Impacts #6 & #7) near Optimist Farm Road and a gravity sanitary sewer line on Lot
12 (Impact 98). While none of the proposed impacts have been installed, mature forest
vegetation within the proposed sanitary sewer easement (Impacts #6 & #7) was ground in place
several weeks ago. No soil disturbance has taken place at this location. Also, the proposed road
crossing identified as Impact #4 has been cleared and grubbed. However, no grading has taken
place at this location and no culverts have been installed. Erosion control measures have been
installed at this location to prevent erosion and downstream sedimentation. These non-permitted
impacts happened as a result of a communication mishap between the Owner and the Contractor.
All activities in these areas of non-permitted impacts have been ceased, except for appropriate
and necessary erosion control practices. The affected sanitary sewer easement is stabilized by the
mulch that was created from the in-place shredding of the forest vegetation.
The main channel that bisects the property into east and west halves has an existing culvert
crossing near the northern property line. This culvert crossing was installed during timbering
operations that took place prior to the current Owner's purchase of the property on August 5,
1999. Hence, this impact to the stream and associated Neuse Buffers is not included in the
summary of proposed and existing impacts for the site. Even though this impact existed when the
current Owner purchased the property, the Owner plans to remove this culvert and return this
section of channel to its normal cross-section. The Owner understands that this culvert was
placed in the channel as a temporary access measure during the timbering activities and
recognizes that the stream and its inhabitants would benefit and act more naturally if this culvert
were removed.

Re: Covington Meadows
September 10, 2002
Dear Mr. Dorney,
As the owner, developer, and member of the future building team for Covington
Meadows I thought it appropriate to introduce myself and express my strong level of
commitment to this project.
Scott Mitchell has briefly explained some of the hurdles this project has incurred as
well as the time it has consumed. We have endured several changes from a simple
county neighborhood to a denser Town of Cary neighborhood. I certainly would be half
built out by now had it stayed a county neighborhood. However, with Cary desiring to
annex this area, we had to start over. This meant new plans that had to go to Wake
county and Cary for approval. While this took place no work continued at the site. After
approval from both the town and the county we contracted with J.F. Wilkerson to install
the water sewer and final grade. They have been an exemplary contractor. However, the
Town of Cary's design included several cuts of up to 27ft. depths. We have had to move,
maintain and restore close to 30,000 yards of dirt. This has all been done in a controlled
manner and extremely quick, thanks in part to the dry weather.
This project has been trying since the beginning; fortunately we have finally gotten
through the majority of the intricate work and are working towards a quick completion. I
am requesting any assistance your office can extend to help complete this project and
restore any impacts we incur to meet or exceed the DWQ's standards.
My time and resources are committed to maintaining compliance and finishing this
project. I am at the DWQ's disposal to discuss any requirements of this project either on
site or at your offices.
I appreciate your time and look forward to working together for our common goal. I
am including my address as well as my work and home number should the need arise to
contact me. Thanks again.

draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): N/A
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.):
Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area:
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.
Proposed impacts are unavoidable due to vroverty configuration and stream / Neuse Buffer
locations. Both stream / Neuse Buffer crossings are as close to perpendicular as is practical.
Road widening impacts on Optimist Farm Road are required by the Town of Cary. Location of
the proposed sanitary sewer is dictated by site topography and crosses stream near perpendicular.
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.
1. 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.
No mitigation is proposed for proposed impacts.
2. 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

Size and Location of Property (waterbody, Highway name/number, town, etc.): The proposed
Covington Meadows subdivision is located on the north side of Optimist Farm Road (SR 1390),
approximately 1600 feet west of its intersection with Bells Lake Road (SR 1386), in Holly Springs, Wake
County, North Carolina. Only the proposed impact areas were evaluated.
Basis for Determination: The site contains wetlands and stream channels with indicators of ordinary
high water marks, located adjacent to an unnamed tributary of Middle Creek, in the Neuse River Basin.
Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
There are wetlands on the above described property which we strongly suggest should be surveyed. The surveyed
wetland lines must be verified by our staff before the Corps will make a final jurisdictional determination on your
property.
Because of the size of your property and our present workload, our identification and delineation of your wetlands
cannot be accomplished in a timely manner. You may wish to obtain a consultant to obtain a more timely
delineation of the wetlands. Once the consultant has flagged a wetland line on the property, Corps staff will
review it, and, if it is accurate, we strongly recommend that you have the line surveyed for final approval by the
Corps. The Corps will not make a final jurisdictional determination on your property without an approved survey.
X The waters of the U.S., to include wetlands, on your lot have been delineated, and the limits of the Corps
jurisdiction have been explained to you. Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this
determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
There are no waters of the U.S., to include wetlands, present on the above described property which are subject to
the permit requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in the law
or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the
date of this notification.
Placement of dredged or fill material in wetlands on this property without a Department of the
Army Permit is in most cases a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1311). A
permit is not required for work on the property restricted entirely to existing high ground. If you

REMARKS: Attached plans submitted propose lots in wetlands that were identified in a previous
application and subsequent authorization but were not identified as such in the current application. The
current application only addresses road widening and sewer line impacts and does not specifically address
impacts associated with lot development. Please provide a wetland delineation for all affected special
aquatic sites and submit a request for NWP 39 authorization if any lot fill is proposed in wetland areas.
Please be advised that I have been working with your agent since June 3, 2002 to resolve these issues and

Covington Meadows Subdivision

Dear Mr. Conoly:
The Division of Water Quality has r3viewed your Pre-construction Notification Application for the discharge of fill
material into approximately 65 linear feet of streams. Insufficient evidence is present in our files to conclude that your
project must be built as planned in waters and/or wetlands in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0506. Therefore, unless
modifications of the proposal are made as described below, we will have to. move toward denial of your 401 Certification
as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0507(e) and will place this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional
information. We are requesting (by copy of this letter) that the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers place your project on
administrative hold.
Further, during a site visit on June 21, 2002, conducted by Mr. Danny Smith of the Central Office and Ms. Debbie
Edwards of the Raleigh Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality, it was noted that impacts have occurred to the
riparian buffers. It was also observed that all of the riparian buffers present on the tract and proposed for impact were not
indicated in the application. Please resubmit your application. This new application should depicte all of the buffers, all of
the present day buffer impacts, and all of the proposed buffer impacts. Please note, the Raleigh Regional Office is
currently preparing additional correspondence regarding the above mentioned site visit.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Mr. Danny Smith of the Central 401 /Wetlands Unit
Office at [phone] or me at [phone].

Re: Covington Meadows - Neuse Buffer Concurrence
Dear Steve,
On June 23, 2000, Central Carolina Homes received approval of 401 Water Quality
Certification and Neuse Buffer Rules with Conditions (DWQ Project # 000816) for three
proposed road crossings in the proposed Covington Meadows subdivision in Cary, NC.
The application for these permitted impacts was submitted by S&EC. We recently
submitted a PCN Application for two additional stream and Neuse Buffer impacts on this
site (one sanitary sewer crossing and widening of Optimist Farm Road). Additionally,
before submitting a Certification of Completion to the USACE for previously permitted
and constructed impacts, the owner requested that we review existing construction for
concurrence with the Nationwide Permit and General Certification that was issued for
this site prior to our recent application submittal. We are in agreement that all permitted
impacts were installed as permitted. However, it is our opinion that one of the channels
that was ruled subject to the Neuse Buffer Rules is in fact an ephemeral channel and
therefore, impacts to this channel and its buffers should not have been included in the
cumulative impacts for this site. According to our research, this channel was not disputed
by S&EC during their delineation and permitting for impacts on this site. Accordingly,
your letter to S&EC dated April 10, 2000, (NBRRO 00-068) indicates that you did not
investigate this channel during your site visit since it was not being contested by S&EC.
We disagree with S&EC's assessment of this channel and we would like to receive your
interpretation of its classification and a statement of subjectivity to the Neuse Buffer
Rules. The channel in question appears only on the Wake County Soil Survey Map and
is located in the southeast corner of the site. The site is located near the intersection of
Optimist Farm Road and Bells Lake Road, just northeast of Holly Springs.
The site is easily accessible from Optimist Farm Road. I estimate that you will require
approximately thirty minutes to evaluate the site due to the length and access. I would
Phone: [phone] ? Fax: [phone] •972 Trinity Road ? Raleigh, North Carolina 27607
like to meet you at the Exxon gas station on the corner of Holly Springs Road and Sunset
Lake Road as indicated on the map.
Thank you in advance for your time on this concurrence. Please do not hesitate to
contact me if you have any questions, comments or concerns about this site.
Sincerely,
/*-Z:?

APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and Neuse Buffer Rules with Conditions
Central Carolina Homes, Inc
c/o Chris Majewsld
2832 Brentfield Drive
Raleigh, NC 27606
Dear Sirs:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to fill 0.05 acres of wetlands, and tc
impact 161 feet of stream channel and associated riparian buffers in Wake County for the purpose of residential construction, as yoi
described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality on June 19, 2000. After reviewing your application, we ha:
decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3287. This certification allows you to use
Nationwide Permit Number 39 when the Corps of Engineers issues it. This approval is also valid for the Neuse River buffer rules (15A
NCAC 2B .0233). In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project includin
(but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Coastal Stormwater, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Water shed 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. 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 c
this 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) I
and (7). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed below and in the attached certification.
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 to notify the state in order to assure compliance for future wetland and/or water impact.
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).
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act within
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 Dorney at 919-733-9646.

Re: Notice of Violation and Enforcement Action Recommendation for Covington
Meadows Subdivision - Wake County
DWQ Project # 00-0816 rr'n "
S&N Project # 309-01 a
Dear Mr. Schuster,
7? ID
This letter is in response to the Notice of Violation and Er4-•
?.wAI lOCT N
Recommendation for Covington Meadows Subdivision dated September 9, 20 =lis
Notice of Violation and Enforcement Action Recommendation was received by Mr. Chris
Majewski, the Financially Responsible Party and an officer of Majewski Enterprises,
Inc., on September 17, 2002. For clarity, significant issues are discussed in the order in
which they appear in your letter.
DWQ's September 9, 2002, Notice of Violation and Enforcement Action
Recommendation states that:
"During the June 21, 2002, site visit the investigators took photographs,
measurements and made observations of Neuse Riparian Zone impacts beyond that
authorized in the June 23, 2002, 401 Water Quality Certification. Specifically, a
road crossing, labeled as crossing #3 in the PCN, was not perpendicular as depicted
in the application. As such, this crossing impacted approximately 75 feet of
streamside riparian buffer vegetation beyond what was indicated in the
authorization. "
The road crossing labeled as crossing #3 is installed as indicated on the PCN Application
prepared by Soil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. (S&EC) dated June 16, 2000, and
approved by DWQ on June 23, 2000. Through no fault of the Owner, the stream and
associated Neuse Buffer at this crossing was not accurately identified, located or
presented in the June 16, 2000, PCN Application. However, as presented in the recently
submitted "Additional Information for Covington Meadows Subdivision in the form of a
Phone: [phone] * Fax: [phone]a*g?12onity Road • Raleigh, North Carolina 27607
:`?
fi

Revised Pre-Construction Application Package", dated September 10, 2002, and
submitted to DWQ and the USACE on September 11, 2002, the Owner proposed to
remove this crossing and all associated fill within the Neuse Buffer and revegetate this
affected area before the Notice of Violation and Enforcement Action Recommendation
was received. The Owner is committed to performing this work immediately upon
receiving approval for disturbance of this area from Wake County Erosion Flood and
Stormwater Services, weather permitting.
DWQ's September 9, 2002, Notice of Violation and Enforcement Action
Recommendation states that:
"Also, an approximately 20 foot wide road crossing, not depicted in the 401 Water
Quality Certification, was observed to cross the unnamed tributary to Middle Creek
along the Northern edge of the tract. "
As noted in the Revised Pre-Construction Application Package referenced above, the
road crossing near the Northern edge of the property was apparently installed as a
temporary access crossing during timbering activities on the property prior to Mr.
Majewski's purchase of the property on August 5, 1999. The non-permitted installation
of this road crossing was in no way the fault of the current Owner. The responsibility for
permitting this crossing and removing it after it was no longer needed resides with the
previous owner and/or the timbering company that actually installed the crossing.
However, as proposed in the Revised PCN Application Package, the Owner offers to
remove this road crossing and associated fill material and revegetate the buffer at his own
cost.
DWQ's September 9, 2002, Notice of Violation and Enforcement Action
Recommendation states that:
"During the June 21, 2002, site visit, DWQ staff requested to review copies of the
Sediment and Erosion Control Plan and General Stormwater Permit monitoring
records The Erosion and Sedimentation plan, logbooks or records were not
provided to DWQ staff as they were not available. (It is noted that staff were
informed by a telephone call from Spaulding and Norris that the Sedimentation
and Erosion Control Plan was placed on site later that afternoon.)"
The erosion control "Letter of Approval" issued by Wake County Erosion, Flood and
Stormwater Services on August 25, 2000, states, "Attached is the General Stormwater
NPDES Permit, NCG01000, as revised July 1, 1995, covering your activity." In fact, the
General Stormwater NPDES Permit was not attached to this "Letter of Approval". Mr.
Dave Parnell agreed that he is not sure that a copy of the General Stormwater NPDES
Permit was attached to the "Letter of Approval". Since this project is the first
development project undertaken by the Owner, he had no prior experience to tell him that
a copy of this Permit was missing or to make him aware of the requirements of the
Permit. There was no reason for the Owner to believe that the "Letter of Approval" itself
and the attached materials, absent of the General Stormwater NPDES Permit, did not
Page 2 of 8
constitute the entirety of the requirements placed upon him. As documented by DWQ's
statement above, the Owner immediately began to comply with the conditions of the
General Stormwater NPDES Permit upon notification of its conditions by DWQ staff on
June 21, 2002. Please note that the Owner began to comply with the conditions of the
Permit one full month prior to ever receiving a copy of the Permit on July 22, 2002. Mr.
Majewski never received a copy of the General Stormwater NPDES Permit until it was
hand delivered to the site by DWQ staff on July 22, 2002. Since June 21, 2002, a copy of
the current approved Sediment and Erosion Control Plan has been kept on site. In
addition, the Owner's copy of the "Notice of Violation and Enforcement Action
Recommendation" states that "an additional copy of this permit is attached with this
correspondence." Just as with the August 25, 2000, Sedimentation and Erosion Control
"Letter of Approval", there actually was no copy of the General Stormwater NPDES
Permit attached. As requested, a copy of all weekly inspections, inspections subsequent
to rain events greater than 0.5 inches, rain gauge data and inspection information that was
recorded with respect to measures taken to clean up sediment that left the disturbed limits
of the site is included with this letter.
DWQ's September 9, 2002, Notice of Violation and Enforcement Action
Recommendation states that:
"The review of the most recent PCN application (received by DWQ from Spaulding
& Norris, PA on May 9, 2002, and placed on hold by DWQ on June 25, 2002 for
Covington Meadows Subdivision) indicated that three stream features, which were
previously depicted in the Optimist Farm submittal, were omitted from the
Covington Meadows submittal."
The recently submitted Revised PCN Application Package, dated September 10, 2002,
does indicate two of the stream features referred to in the above statement (streams
impacted by crossing #1 and crossing #3). The third stream (stream impacted by
crossing #2; located in the southeast corner of the site) is not included because it is an
ephemeral channel. The ephemeral classification of this channel was field verified by the
US Army Corps of Engineers on July 30, 2002. An attempt to receive a field verification
from DWQ staff during the June 21, 2002, field visit produced no immediate ruling.
Spaulding & Norris, PA, staff, accompanied by Mr. Danny Smith of the Central Office
and Ms. Debbie Edwards of the Raleigh Regional Office of DWQ visited the stream in
question on June 21, 2002, in search of field verification of the classification of this
stream channel. After extensive hand augering and discussions in several locations
within and around the stream channel and after an exhaustive investigation of the entire
length of the channel, Mr. Smith and Ms. Edwards declined to make a ruling on this
channel's classification or its inherent subjectivity to the Neuse Buffer Rules. When
asked for their ruling on the channel's classification, Mr. Smith responded "I (Mr. Smith)
am not here to do your job for you", implying that he and Ms. Edwards would rely on the
stream classification determined by Spaulding & Norris, PA, and that, in their opinion,
staff from Spaulding & Norris, PA, are completely competent to classify this channel. It
is the professional opinion of staff from Spaulding & Norris, PA, that this channel is in
fact ephemeral and hence does not require the maintenance of Neuse Buffers. This
Page 3 of 8

classification was further confirmed using the "Internal Guidance Manual for NC
Division of Water Quality Stream Classification Method". On July 3, 2002, Spaulding &
Norris, PA, staff completed the "NCDWQ Stream Classification Form" for this channel.
The resultant score for this channel was 12.5; 6.5 points less than the required 19 point
minimum score for determining an intermittent channel. Per the "Internal Guidance
Manual for NC Division of Water Quality Stream Classification Method", "The 19 point
minimum score for determining an intermittent channel was based on the results of over
300 individual field trials conducted in the Piedmont and Coastal Plain portions of the
Neuse River Basin during May, June, July and August of 1998, as well as field testing
conducted during December 1998 and January 1999." This stream's classification as an
ephemeral channel is further supported by the US Army Corps of Engineers, as
evidenced by the signed wetland delineation map. Hence, this channel, which in our
professional opinion is not jurisdictional, is not indicated on maps/exhibits in the
"Revised PCN Application Package". Spaulding & Norris, PA, staff would like to
discuss this particular issue further. The Owner is willing to consider additional
conditions DWQ may suggest to rectify this particular issue. Please recognize that
additional buffer is being preserved along the main channel on the property. This
additional buffer supplies approximately 6.3 additional acres (approximately 2,800 linear
feet) of forested buffer that will provide stormwater treatment in excess of that supplied
by the typical 50-foot Neuse Riparian Buffers.
DWQ's September 9, 2002, Notice of Violation and Enforcement Action
Recommendation states that:
"Also, a review of the revised Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan, dated May
6, 2002 indicated that these buffers were omitted from these plans as weld"
A newly revised Erosion Control Plan, that correctly identifies Neuse Buffers on the site,
was approved on August 27, 2002. The "Sedimentation & Erosion Control Letter of
Approval", dated August 27, 2002, states "All Neuse River Riparian Buffers are
apparently represent6d correctly as approved by DWQ."
DWQ's September 9, 2002, Notice of Violation and Enforcement Action
Recommendation states that:
"During the June 21, 2002, and July 22, 2002 site visits a review of the Optimist
Farm Road Subdivision, care of Central Carolina Homes was conducted by DWQ
staff. Within the Certification issued on June 23, 2000, a requirement for Deed
notifications was stipulated as follows:
`Deed notification 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
to notify the state in order to assure compliance for future wetlands and/or water
impact 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).' Please provide this
Office with copies of deeds for lots containing this notification."
Page 4 of 8

The Town of Cary Development Ordinance states that "No single family lots, created
through a development plan, shall be platted into a riparian buffer as required by Chapter
14.1.4(m)." This requirement alone ensures that no lots will be platted into the riparian
buffers on the site. The only proposed lot that will require this notification, lot 48,
contains a small area of jurisdictional wetlands in its southwest corner. Currently, no lots
have been platted for this subdivision. Hence, no Deeds are in existence for any
proposed lots within this project. Since no Deeds are in existence for these proposed lots,
it is impossible for this notification to have been placed on them. The Owner would like
to assure DWQ that Lot 48 will have this notification placed on its Deed when platted.
DWQ's September 9, 2002, Notice of Violation and Enforcement Action
Recommendation states that:
"Wake County's site visit records, dated April 2, 3 and S, 2002, June 19, 2002, July
16, 17 and 22, 2002, and August 2, 7, 9 and 13, 2002, consistently report the same
violations, insufficient measures to retain sediment on site and the failure to
maintain erosion control measures. "
The only notice of violation ever received from Wake County Environmental Services is
dated July 24, 2002. The Owner did not receive this notice until August 7, 2002, due to
an incorrect address on the envelope. These violations should have been reported to the
Owner or the Contractor when they were first observed. As Mr. Majewski has displayed
through his recent remedial actions, these violations would have been addressed and
corrected immediately upon notification. Since the Owner's receipt of this notice of
violation, all outstanding issues with sedimentation and erosion control measures have
been addressed and approved by Wake County.
DWQ's September 9, 2002, Notice of Violation and Enforcement Action
Recommendation states that:
"Please explain the following; 1) why were the Neuse River Buffers for the tract,
with exception of the main channel, omitted from the current PCNApplication
(received by DWQ on May 9, 2002), 2) why the buffers for the tract were initially
included in the Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan for Optimist Farm Road,
and 3) why the Neuse Buffers were excluded from the plans during Covington
Meadows Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan approval?"
The buffers for the tract were initially included in the Sedimentation and Erosion Control
Plan for Optimist Farm Road Subdivision to reflect the delineation provided by S&EC.
The reason these buffers did not appear on the Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan
approved for Covington Meadows Subdivision is unclear. We believe this accidental
omission occurred as a result of confusion caused by the many plan revisions this project
has been through over its three year history. As explained in the recently submitted
revised PCN Application Package dated September 10, 2002, this project began in
August of 1999 as a Wake County subdivision which required individual, on-site septic
Page 5 of 8
1
systems for each lot. The original Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan that was
approved on August 25, 2000, was representative of this scenario. On January 24, 2002,
the Town of Cary reached an agreement with the Owner to provide water and sanitary
sewer services for this project. In turn, the Owner was required by the Town of Cary
Development Ordinances to maintain an undisturbed 100 foot buffer on each side of the
main channel that bisects the property into eastern and western halves. This is the only
channel on the property that requires these expanded buffers. We believe that the
accidental omission of the remaining buffers occurred at the time the expanded Town of
Cary Buffer was applied to the main channel. I cannot express strongly enough that this
omission was purely accidental and was in no way intended as a means of intentional
elimination of Neuse Buffers. This accidental omission of remaining Neuse Buffers on
the Covington Meadows Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan simply carried over
onto the PCN Application Package that was submitted to DWQ on May 8, 2002. While
we do regret that this accidental omission occurred, it was discovered during the PCN
Application review process. The plans have been revised accordingly and should be
considered a resolved issue.
DWQ's September 9, 2002, Notice of Violation and Enforcement Action
Recommendation requests that the following items be addressed:
1. Please detail when the fill material will be removed from the Neuse Buffer
Zone. This material should be placed in uplands, outside of the riparian zone
and stabilized (Note: you may need to modify your Sedimentation and Erosion
Control Plan to accommodate this work). Please indicate in your response a
schedule with dates when detailing how this will be accomplished
The fill material within the Neuse Buffer at crossing #3 will be removed within two
weeks of obtaining approval of a revised Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan
from Wake County. This revised Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan will
identify the area of fill to be removed, as required by the Notice of Violation and
Enforcement Action Recommendation. An acceptable stabilization method will also
be designated for this location on the Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan. Since
the removal of this fill material is dependent upon receipt of approval of a revised
Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan, it is impossible to specify a date when this
work will commence or be completed.
2. Please provide information regarding the deed notifications, a 401 Water
Quality Certification condition, as described above.
As mentioned earlier in this response, no lots have been platted for this subdivision at
this time. Hence no deeds exist to allow for this notification to be placed on them.
The Owner wishes to assure DWQ that this notification will be placed on the deed for
Lot #48. Lot #48 is the only proposed lot that will require this notification.
3. Please provide information detailing your compliance with the Minimum
Monitoring and Reporting Requirements as requested above.
Page 6 of 8
The Owner has performed monitoring and reporting as required by conditions of the
General Stormwater NPDES Permit since the first day he was verbally notified of
these requirements on June 21, 2002, one full month before ever receiving a written
copy of the Permit. Copies of monitoring data are attached for your use.
4. You should clearly discuss your efforts to come into full compliance with the
General Stormwater Permit. You should also detail the events that resulted in
your non-compliance with the above mentioned permit conditions. (A copy of
this permit is attached).
Through the Owners recent remedial actions, he has displayed nothing less than a full
commitment to bring this site into compliance with all conditions of the General
Stormwater NPDES Permit. A revised Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan was
submitted to Wake County and subsequently approved on August 27, 2002. DWQ's
statement above that a copy of the Permit is attached displays the core of the reason
these violations occurred. A copy of the General Stormwater NPDES Permit was not
attached to the Notice of Violation and Enforcement Action Recommendation.
Twice, the Owner has received correspondences from regulatory agencies that stated
that a copy of the General Stormwater NPDES Permit was attached when in fact it
was not. The Owner, who had never seen this permit before, simply did not know
that a copy of the permit was missing. As a result, he was not aware of its conditions.
It is unreasonable to expect permit condition compliance from someone who had
never been provided a copy of the permit.
5. Riparian Zone Planting Plan - It is required that a planting plan be developed
such that, at least two native tree species be planted at a density sufficient to
provide 320 trees per acre at maturity. This density can be achieved by planting
approximately 436 (10 x 10 feet spacing) to 681(8 x 8 feet spacing) trees per
acre. Please see the attached Guidelines for Riparian Buffer Restoration
(January 2001) for assistance in developing your plan. Your plan must include
the types of native woody vegetation selected, methodology of planting, and site
map indicating the location of the plantings
Spaulding & Norris, PA, will develop a planting plan for the area designated as
crossing #3 that meets the requirements mentioned above. All of the information
required by the statement above will be included in this plan. However, as with the
General Stormwater NPDES Permit, a copy of the Guidelines for Riparian Buffer
Restoration was not attached to the Notice of Violation and Enforcement Action
Recommendation. A copy of this guide for use by Spaulding & Norris, PA, staff
would be appreciated and will prove helpful when designing the planting plan.
6. With respect to the Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan, a modification of
this plan that accurately depicts riparian buffers is necessary. Please indicate
in your response a schedule with dates when detailing how this will be
Page 7 of 8
accomplished. You should also explain how you propose to prevent these
problems from reoccurring with this project and with future projects.
As mentioned earlier in this response, a revised Sedimentation and Erosion Control
Plan that accurately depicts the Neuse Buffers, with the exception of the contested
feature in the southeast corner of the property, was approved by Wake County on
August 27, 2002. The Owner admits that there have been compliance issues with this
site, but asks that DWQ take into account that this is his first development project.
The Owner also asks that DWQ recognize that as soon as problems have been pointed
out to him, all have been addressed within a matter of days or even hours. This
project has been a tremendous learning experience for the Owner. The knowledge
and experience gained through problem identification and resolution on this site will
not be forgotten in the future. The Owner has repeatedly expressed his desire to bring
this site into full compliance with all regulatory conditions and to maintain this
compliance for the remainder of this site's development.
It is our hope that this response to the Notice of Violation and Enforcement Action
Recommendation will bring closure to the issues of DWQ permitting, compliance with
conditions of the General Stormwater NPDES Permit and/or sedimentation and erosion
control violations for this site. As displayed by recent remedial actions, the Owner would
like nothing more than to work with DWQ and Wake County to bring this site into full
compliance. Please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Chris Majewski or me if you have any
further questions, comments or concerns about any of these issues.
Sincerely,
Scott Mitchell, PE, LSS

Dept. of Environment & Natural Resources
1628 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1628
Re: Requested Additional Information for Covington Meadows Subdivision
- Wake County
DWQ Project # 00-0816
S&N Project # 309-01
Dear Mr. Schuster,
This letter is in response to your On-Hold Notification dated November 22, 2002, in which you
requested additional information for Covington Meadows Subdivision. Requested additional
information is provided below.
1) Impact Area #8:
- The plans depict a sewer line impact in Zone II of the Neuse Riparian Buffer.
Please indicate why the sewer line impacts cannot be avoided (moved outside of
Zone II).
The topography in this location is quite steep, hence, any movement of the sewer
line further away from the stream and out of the Neuse Buffer would cause the
sewer line to be considerably deeper than is currently designed. Relocation of
this sewer line outside of the Neuse Buffer would significantly increase initial
construction costs as well as future maintenance costs for the Town of Cary.
Additionally, as suggested by your comment listed below, if the sewer line were
moved outside of the Neuse Buffer, lot 11 would be too small to accept a home
and driveway consistent with the remainder of homes planned for the
neighborhood.
- Please depict the building and driveway footprint for lot number 11. It is
unclear whether a house and driveway can fit on the subject lot and not impact
the buffer.
A plan depicting the possible location of a home and driveway on lot number 11
is attached for your reference.
2) Impact Area #9:
- The plans depict a sewer line impact in the Neuse Riparian Buffer. Please
indicate,i` by this impact cannot be avoided (moved outside of the buffer).
Phone: [phone]CI** ,Fax: [phone]Pa+gPJ2oTrjnity Road • Raleigh, North Carolina 27607

This sewer line is required by the Town of Cary in order to serve adjacent
properties in the future. Hence, it cannot be eliminated unless the Town of Cary
agrees to relieve the Owner of this requirement. Additionally, if the sewer line
were moved outside of the Neuse Buffer, lot number 3 will not have enough
remaining buildable area to accommodate a reasonably sized home and
driveway. In conversations with the Owner, Mr. Steve Mitchell of the DWQ
Raleigh Regional Office agrees that environmental impacts will be minimized by
allowing the installed sewer line to remain in its current location as opposed to
removing it and further disturbing the channel and its buffer.
- Mitigation for sewer line impacts associated with non perpendicular crossing
(Zone I and Zone II) will be required (please see below mentioned buffer
mitigation item).
The Owner proposes to mitigate for sewer line impacts associated with the non-
perpendicular crossing through either the donation of real property or an interest
in real property, whichever is preferred by DWQ. The property offered as
mitigation for these Neuse Buffer impacts is identified as "Open Space" on the
"Wetlands and NRB Impact Analysis (EX-1)" and is immediately adjacent to the
intersection of Optimist Farm Road and Optimist Ridge Trail. This property is
0.61 acres in size and was offered to DWQ or its designee in the November 6,
2002, letter to you providing additional information for this subdivision. Please
note that the Owner will reserve a small area in the southeast corner of this
property for a sign to identify the subdivision. Considering benefits to water
quality, we feel that the donation of this property or interest in this property is the
best option for mitigation for these impacts. As you will see on the attached
"Drainage and Erosion Control (C-3.0)" plan, stormwater that flows through
Impact Area Number 9 will be captured by the ditch on Optimist Ridge Trail and
subsequently released into a level spreader onto this "Open Space". If this "Open
Space" is accepted by DWQ, this will result in a permanently protected,
continuous 200-foot buffer of mature forest to treat stormwater released from
Impact Area Number 9.
3) Crossing Area #3:
- With respect to the initial 20 foot wide road crossing and the impacts to the
buffer by an access road being located within the buffer zone, please provide a
plan that depicts the extent, scope and methods of stream and buffer
restoration. (This should include plant species, an implementation and
monitoring plan and a schedule)
A plan depicting the proposed buffer restoration for Impact Area Number 3 is
attached for your approval. The Owner will complete this buffer restoration for
Impact Area Number 3 upon approval of the 401 Water Quality Certification,
issuance of an Authorization Certificate and approval of an amended
Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan for this activity. The restoration work
will preferably be completed by the end of February in order to increase the
survival rate of planted trees. As you will see on the attached buffer restoration
plan, a list of acceptable tree species is shown on the plan. A minimum of two of
these acceptable tree species will be planted in the restored buffer.

4) Please provide plans that clearly depict how stormwater will be addressed The Neuse
Riparian Buffer Rules require diffuse flow prior to stormwater entering into the buffer.
The attached "Drainage and Erosion Control (C-3.0)" plan illustrates how stormwater
will be addressed on this site. Level spreaders designed per the North Carolina Erosion
and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual are supplied at the outlets of all
concentrated stormwater flows prior to entering Neuse Buffers.
S) If a no practical alternative decision cannot be reached by DWQ, subsequent to a
review of your response to item number 2 (above), the Riparian Zone impacts to area
number 9 that have occurred due to the sewer line crossing (depicted on the Covington
Meadows Subdivision Wetland and NRB Impact Analysis plan dated August 26, 2002),
will require mitigation. Specifically, the impacts of only the non perpendicular portion
of the sewer line crossing (that includes Zone I and Zone II impacts) will be required
to be mitigated
The Owner offers to mitigate for the non-perpendicular portion of the sewer line crossing
as detailed in the response to your Comment Number 2 above.
It is our hope that this response to your comments listed in your On-Hold Notification dated
November 22, 2002, will bring closure to the issues of DWQ permitting for this site. Please do
not hesitate to contact Mr. Chris Majewski or me if you have any further questions, comments or
concerns about any of these issues.

Dear Sir:
On June 23, 2000, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) issued a 401 Water Quality Certification (DWQ Project
No. 00-816) for the fill of 0.05 acres of wetlands, 161 feet of stream impacts and associated riparian buffer impacts as
described in your application received by the DWQ on June 19, 2000 for a subdivision known as Optimist Farm Road
Subdivision. Subsequent to the above-mentioned authorization, you have requested additional impacts for Covington
Meadows Subdivision. This is the same subdivision tract that was previously authorized by Water Quality Certification
No. 00-0816."
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached Certification and any additional conditions listed below,
to discharge fill or otherwise impact 0.036 acres of wetlands, 151 feet of stream and associated riparian buffers impacts
for the purpose of the installation of road crossings, sewer lines and riparian buffer restoration of unauthorized impacts.
The activity must be conducted as indicated in your application received by the DWQ on May 8, 2002 and as described in
your respective modifications, dated November 6, 2002, and December 13, 2002 and any conditions listed below.

We have determined that activities are covered under General Water Quality Certification Numbers
GC3374 and GC3375. For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached

A report of the respective monitoring results will be required to be submitted to the
Raleigh Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality by June 1 of each year. If
additional restoration efforts/repairs are required, as result of the monitoring
observations, they must be completed and the Regional Office staff must be notified
in writing within 30 days of determining the problem.
9. Within 30 days of the completion of the restoration efforts, written notification must
be provided, confirming the completion of the proposed buffer restoration.
10. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all retained jurisdictional
wetlands, waters and protective streamside buffers on the subject tract in order to
assure compliance for future wetland and water impacts. These mechanisms shall be
J
DWQ Project No. 02-0717
Page 3 of 4
January 2, 2003
put in place within 90 days of issuance of this Authorization Certificate. A sample
deed notification can be downloaded from the 401/Wetlands Unit web site at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands.
11. A requirement of this 401 Water Quality Certification is that mitigation be provided
for the non-perpendicular impacts associated with sewer line crossing located
between lots 3 and 4 as depicted on plans labeled C-3.0 from Spauling and Norris,
dated December 13, 3003. The required mitigation may be accomplished by one of
three methods: 1) payment of a compensatory mitigation fee to the Riparian Buffer
Restoration Fund, 2) donation of Real property pursuant to Item (8) of 15A NCAC
02B .0242, or 3) restoration or enhancement of a non-forested riparian buffer
(pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0242). Specifically, the area of mitigation includes
2,035 square feet of Zone I and 3,542 square feet of Zone II at a ratio of 3:1 and 1.5;
respectively. (please see the attached copy of 15A NCAC 02B..0242.).
If you wish to make a payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund
administered by the NC Wetlands Restoration Program (WRP) to meet this
mitigation requirement, in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B .0242 this
contribution will satisfy our compensatory mitigation requirements. Until the
WRP receives and clears your check (made payable to: DENR - Wetlands
Restoration Program Office), no impacts specified in this Authorization
Certificate shall occur. Mr. Ron Ferrell should be contacted at (919) 733-
5208 if you have any questions concerning payment into the WRP. You have
90 days from the date of this approval to make this payment or obtain written
authorization from DWQ, necessary to satisfy the above-mentioned mitigation
requirement. For accounting purposes, this Authorization Certificate
authorizes payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund to
compensate for impacts required for the non-perpendicular sewer line
impacts to the Neuse River Basin riparian buffer.
12. Stormwater shall be directed to flow in a diffuse manner at non-erosive
velocities through the protected stream buffers without re-concentrating. It
is required that level spreaders be designed and installed that minimally meet
the "Draft Level Spreader Design Options" which can be found at
hllp•/lh2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/level.pdf .
13. Upon completion of all work approved within the 401 Water Quality Certification
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.
Please keep in mind that there may be additional Federal, State and Local regulations applicable to your project,
such as the Sedimentation and Pollution Control Act, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed Regulations, whereby
you may be required to obtain permits and/or approvals prior to beginning your project. In addition, this approval will
expire when the accompanying 404 Permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
DWQ Project No. 02-0717
Page 4 of 4
January 2, 2003
This approval is only valid for the purposes and designs that you described in your application and subsequent
modification. If you change your project, you must notify the Division in writing and you may be required to submit 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 fill for this project (now or in the future) exceeds one acre, compensatory mitigation may be
required as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506(h).
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 from the date of receipt of this letter. To request a hearing, send a written petition that conforms
to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service
Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-6714. This Certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you request a hearing.
This letter completes the review of DWQ Project No. 02- 0717 by the DWQ under Section 401 of the Clean
Water Act. If you wish to review any of the Water Quality Regulations mentioned here, you can download a copy

Dear Mr. Conoly:
The Division of Water Quality has reviewed your Pre-construction Notific -..ion Application for the discharge of fill
material into approximately 65 linear feet of streams. Insufficient evidence is present in our files to conclude that your
project must be built as planned in waters and/or wetlands in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0506. Therefore, unless
modifications of the proposal are made as described below, we will have to move toward denial of your 401 Certification
as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0507(e) and will place this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional
information. We are requesting (by copy of this letter) that the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers place your project on
administrative hold.
Further, during a site visit on June 21, 2002, conducted by Mr. Danny Smith of the Central Office and Ms. Debbie
Edwards of the Raleigh Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality, it was noted that impacts have occurred to the
riparian buffers. It was also observed that all of the riparian buffers present on the tract and proposed for impact were not
indicated in the application. Please resubmit your application. This new application should depicte all of the buffers, all of
the present day buffer impacts, and all of the proposed buffer impacts. Please dote, the Raleigh Regional Office is
currently preparing additional correspondence regarding the above mentioned site visit.

RE: Approval of 401 Water Quality Certification and Riparian Area Authorization
Covington Meadows Subdivision
DWQ # 02-0717
Wake County
On January 2, 2003 the NC Division of Water Quality issued a 401 Certification and Neuse River Buffer
approval for the Covington Meadows subdivision (Optimist Farm Road subdivision). We now understand
based on your letter of February 20, 2003 and our phone conversation of March 26, 2003, that you plan to
increase the size of the pipe for the road crossing from 115 inches by 77 inches to 128 inches by 83 inches in
order to allow it to be partially buried thereby allowing movement of aquatic life through the pipe. No additional
stream or buffer impacts are proposed. Use of this larger pipe is acceptable (and indeed preferable) to DWQ
and is hereby approved as a modification of the above mentioned approvals.
Please call me at 919-733-9646 if you have any questions.

APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and Neuse Buffer Rules with Conditions
Central Carolina Homes, Inc
c/o Chris Majewski
2832 Brentfield Drive
Raleigh, NC 27606
Dear Sirs:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to fill 0.05 acres of wetlands, and tt
impact 161 feet of stream channel and associated riparian buffers in Wake County for the purpose of residential construction, as yoi
described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality on June 19, 2000. After reviewing your application, we ha-
decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3287. This certification allows you to use
Nationwide Permit Number 39 when the Corps of Engineers issues it. This approval is also valid for the Neuse River buffer rules (15A
NCAC 2B .0233). In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project includin
(but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Coastal Stormwater, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Water shed 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. 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 c
this 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) I
and (7). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed below and in the attached certification.
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 to notify the state in order to assure compliance for future wetland and/or water impact.
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).
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act within
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 Dorney at 91.9-733-9646.

WAT??'
Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) Application Form
For Section 404 and/or Section 10 Nationwide, Regional and General Permits, Section 401
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
tm
http://www.saw.usace.arrny.mil/wetlands/Perm--al)p.h
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 at the end 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:/ih2o.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 some 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 also required fir projects occurring in any of North Carolina's twenty- five
counties that contain trout waters. In such cases, the applicant should contact the appropriate NCWRC
regional coordinator (listed by county on the last page of this application).
Page 1 of 12
CAMA Coordination - If the project occurs in any of North Carolina's twenty coastal counties (listed on
the last page of this application) the applicant should also contact the North Carolina Division of Coastal
Management (DCM) at [phone]. DCM will determine whether or not the project involves a
designated Area of Environmental Concern, in which case DCM will act as the lead permitting agency.
In such cases, DCM will require a Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Permit and will coordinate
the 404/401 Permits.
USACE Permits - Submit one copy of this form, along with supporting narratives, maps, data forms,
photos, etc. to the applicable USACE Regulatory Field Office (addresses are listed at the end of this
application). 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/nwi)finalFedReg.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 to 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/newetlands/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.

* List each impact separately and identify temporary impacts. Impacts incude, but are not limited to: culverts and associated rip-rap,
dams (separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding), relocation (include linear feet before and after, and net loss/gain),
stabilization activities (cement wall, rip-rap, crib wall, gabions, etc.), excavation, ditching/straightening, etc. If stream relocation is
proposed, plans and profiles showing the linear footprint for both the original and relocated streams must be included.
** Stream names can be found on USGS topographic maps. If a stream has no name, list as UT (unnamed tributary) to the nearest
downstream named stream into which it flows. USGS maps are available through the USGS at 1-800-358-9616, or online at
www.usas.eov. Several intemet sites also allow direct download and printing of USGS maps (e.g., www.tonozone.conj

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/stringide.html.
1. 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/wrn/index.hrm if
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):
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet):
