APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
Mr. Michael Womble
BTW Development Co., Inc.
Post Office Box 547
Dunn, NC 28335
Dear Mr. Womble:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill
material in 0.71 acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose of constructing an apartment complex at Hwy
55 in Angier, as you described in your application dated September 22, 1997. After reviewing your
application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3108.
This certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 26 when it is issued by the Corps of
Engineers. In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with
your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Coastal Stormwater, Non-
Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This approval will expire when the accompanying
404 or CAMA permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application except
as modified below. If you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a
new application. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory
mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to be
valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional conditions listed
below.
1. Deed notices, conservation easements or similar mechanisms shall be placed in all lots with remaining
ire wetlands and waters to restrict 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).
2. Applicant is reminded that if total wetland fill for this development exceeds one acre then wetland
mitigation will be required by DWQ. Total fill is now 0.96 acres for DWQ #970770 and 970697 if the
Corps of Engineers considers them to be the same project.
3. Stormwater shall be directed to sheetflow across remaining wetlands rather than directly discharge it to
stream channels.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory
hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a
written petition which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of
Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. This certification and its conditions
are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water
Act. If you have any questions, please telephone John Dorney at 919-733-1786.

Dear Sirs:

Please find enclosed seven copies of the "Pre-Construction Notification Application"
complete with all attachments and a large, scaled (1"=100') map as a result of your letter
dated September 16, 1997.
This project consists of the construction of townhomes in the town limits of Angier, NC
with a total wetland impact of approximately 0.71 acres. This property does not contain a
stream or pond. It is merely a low area that collects runoff from Highway 55 on the
southern town limits of Angier.
As you can see from the preliminary site plan enclosed, great care has been taken in the
design of the project so as to avoid impacting the middle areas of the wetlands. No
building is located entirely within wetland areas. Instead, impacts only occur on the
outside edges or those "fingers" of wetland areas that extend into the dry areas.
Therefore, the greatest portion and primary shape of the wetlands remain unchanged. No
further development will occur in the remaining undeveloped areas.
This property has been delineated by a professional soil scientist and approved by Mr.
Alan Davis with the Wilmington Regulatory Field Office of the US Army Corp of
Engineers. This delineation is shown on the enclosed maps. Should you have any
questions regarding the delineation, Mr. Davis may be reached at [phone].
Your letter requests copies of all previous approvals for wetland fill for this property.
Development has not yet begun on this property. As our application states, there have
been no approvals for wetland fill for this property. However, approvals have been
received for wetland fills (total impact of 0.25 acres) for an adjacent parcel which are
enclosed. While the wetland areas on this property (townhome project) are shared by the
adjacent parcel, the development of the adjacent parcel did not impact this wetland area.
I hope this provides adequate information to consider this request. Please don't hesitate
to contact me should you require further details regarding the project.
Sincere y yours,
Michael H. mble

Page 4, Question 14
The property is ideally suited for residential development because of its proximity to
major travel arteries, its location inside the town limits of Angier, and the adjacent
residential development. Residential areas exist both north, south and west of the
proposed development. Highways 55 and 210 are the primary north-south and east-west
arteries to Raleigh, Dunn, Smithfield, and Lillington.
There appears to be an adequate amount of suitable, dry area for the construction of
roads, and the wetland impacts primarily result from the street right-of-ways, portions of
buildings, and building setbacks. The remaining wetland areas provide a natural buffer
between this proposed project and adjacent projects. No further development would
occur in the remaining undeveloped areas.
During the design phase, great care was taken in the placement of buildings and roads so
the only impacts to the wetlands would be to the "fingers" extending into the dry areas or
its outside edges. Impacts to the middle areas of the wetlands were avoided. No building
proposed by the project is located entirely within wetland areas. By designing this
project in such a manner, the greatest portion and primary shape of the wetlands remain
unchanged.
