North Wilkesboro. N.C. 28656
Dear Mr. Mclain
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to relocate 470
linear feet waters for the purpose of constructing a Lowe's Home Center at us74 near us 601 in Union County, as
you described in your application dated 11 May, 1999. 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 the Corps of Engineers issues it. 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 for a new certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of 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). For this approval to be valid. you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and
any additional conditions listed below.
1. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all lots with remaining jurisdictional wetlands and waters or areas
within 50 feet of all streams and ponds 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).
2. An additional condition is that a final, written storm plan including a wet detention basin which meets
85% TSS removal must be approved by DWQ before wetland (or stream) impacts occur. Also before
any building is occupied at the subject site the stormwater treatment facilities shall be constructed and
operational and the stormwater management plan be implemented.
3. Sediment and erosion control control measures shall adhere to the design standards for sensitive
watersheds (T 15A:04B .0024)
We understand that you have chosen to contribute to the Wetland Restoration Program in order to compensate
for these impacts to wetlands and/or streams. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2R.0402, this contribution will
satisfy our compensatory mitigation requirements under 15A NCAC 2H .0506(h). According to 15A NCAC 2H
.0506(h), feet of restoration will be required. Until the Wetland Restoration Program receives and clears your check
(made payable to: DEHNR - Wetland Restoration Program), wetland or stream fill shall not occur. Mr. Ron Ferrell
should be contacted at 919-733-5083 ext. 358 if you have any questions concerning the Wetland Restoration
Program. You have one month from the date of this Certification to make this payment. For accounting purposes,
this Certification authorizes the fill of 470 Feet of streams, in 030714 river and subbasin and 470 feet of

Enclosed is a NWP 26 application by Mr. Terry McLain of Lowe's Companies, Inc. for 470 feet of
stream impact for Lowe's of Monroe, Union County, NC. It is being requested that a portion of the
stream be filled and relocated via culvert which will supply ample area to construct a Lowe's Home
Center facility, parking, and associated infrastructure. This relocated stream will be 600' in length and
continue its current flow. It is also being requested that a 0.15 acre berm be constructed to be used as a
forebay in the existing farm pond. The forebay will be used as a wet detention pond as part of the
stormwater plan. Lowe's will be buying into the NC Wetlands Resource Program in the amount of
$58,750 (470 linear feet x $125/linear foot.)
Thank you for your assistance in this matter. If you have any questions, please feel free to
contact me.
Sincerely,
