Keynes Boulevard, Suite 200 Charlotte, NC 28262 APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions Dear Mr. Wright: Stokes Bush & Wright Investments, LLC has our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place permanent fill in 149 linear feet of perennial stream in order to construct a road crossing for the Mendenhall Mill subdivision located on Penny Road in High Point, Guilford County, as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on January 27, 2006. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3402, which can be viewed on our web site at htip://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 39 when it is issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In addition, you should secure any other applicable federal, state or local permits before you proceed with your project, including (but not limited to) those required by Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge, and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also, this approval will expire when the accompanying 404 permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification. This approval is valid only for the purpose and design that you have described in your application. If you change your project, you must notify us in writing, and you may be required to send us a new application for a new certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland fill for this project (now or in the"future) exceeds one acre, or total fill to perennial streams equals or exceeds 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification, as well as the additional conditions listed below: 1. The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all other specific and general conditions of this Certification are met. No other impacts, including incidental impacts, are approved: Amount Approved Plan Location or Reference Streams 149 linear feet Unnamed tributary to High Point City Lake, located off of Penny Road in High Point, Guilford County, as depicted on the project location map included with the application.

Robert Wright, Jr. Page 2, DWQ# 03-1097, Version 2 February 17, 2006 2. Appropriate sediment and erosion control measures which equal or exceed those outlined in the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual or the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual (available from the Division of Land Resources at NCDENR regional offices or the central office), whichever is more appropriate, shall be designed, installed and maintained properly to assure compliance at all times with the North Carolina water quality standards that are applicable to Class WS-IV waters as described in 15A NCAC 02B .0216 Fresh Surface Water Quality Standards For Class WS-IV Waters. Such measures must equal or exceed the requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. These measures must be maintained on all construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) sites, including contractor owned and leased borrow pits, which are associated with this project. 3. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum extent practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control measures in wetlands or waters is unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored within six months of the date that the project is completed or, if applicable, within six months of the date that the project is released by the North Carolina Division of Land Resources. 4. No waste, spoils, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the footprint of the impacts depicted in the Pre-Construction Notification. All construction activities, including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion control "Best Management Practices" shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur. 5. The culvert required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profile is not altered (i.e. the depth of the channel must not be reduced by a widening of the streambed). Existing stream dimensions (including the pattern and profile) are to be maintained above and below the location of the culvert. The culverts shall be designed and installed to prevent head cutting of the stream. If a culvert becomes perched, the appropriate stream grade shall be re-established or, if a culvert is installed in a perched manner, the culvert shall be removed and re-installed correctly. The Applicant must submit a plan and receive written approval from this Office to address any head cutting that will occur as a result of this project (e.g., use of cross vanes downstream of the culvert). 6. Where riprap is required for energy dissipation and scour protection, it shall be limited to the minimum dimensions specified by appropriate engineering calculations. Riprap may only be used below the normal high water level. The original grade and elevation of the stream's cross-section must be maintained. Riprap placed in the stream bottom must be inserted into the bottom matrix to a depth sufficient to provide the thickness of riprap required for scour protection. The elevation of the stream bottom must not be increased by the placement of riprap. Placement of riprap must not result in destabilization of the streambed or banks upstream or downstream of any crossing. 7. All construction activities associated with this project shall minimize built-upon surface area, direct stormwater runoff away from surface waters, and incorporate best management practices to minimize water quality impacts. If concrete is used with any fill material, it shall not be allowed to come in contact with surface waters until it has cured. If any stormwater must be collected for discharge into a stream channel, it shall not enter the stream as a point source, but shall be slowed and discharged as sheet flow prior to entering the riparian buffer on either side of the stream. r r V4 Mr. J. Robert Wright, Jr. Page 3, DWQ# 03-1097, Version 2 February 17, 2006 8. The proposed project must comply with the City of High Point's local water supply ordinance approved by the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission (EMC) as required under the Randleman Lake Water Supply Watershed: Protection and Maintenance of Riparian Areas (Randleman Buffer Rule) 15A NCAC 02B .0250. 9. Upon finishing the project, the Applicant shall fill out and return the enclosed "Certificate of Completion" to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been completed. This certificate should be returned to the Wetlands/401 Certification Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality at the address listed on the form. Along with the Certificate of Completion, please send photographs upstream and downstream of the culvert site to document correct installation. If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing. This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act.
