APPROVAL OF 401Quality Certification and ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS and Neuse River Buffer Rules
Nathan Adams, Jr.
3522 Cleveland Road
Smithfield, NC 27577
Dear Mr. Adams:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill material in 0.22 acres
of wetlands for the purpose of constructing the Adams Creek development, as you described in your application dated July 15,
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. This approval is
also valid for the Neuse River buffer rules (15A NCAC 2B .033). 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 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) (6) and (7). This approval shall expire when the corresponding Nationwide Permit
expires or as otherwise provided in the General Certification. 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 stormwater shall be directed to sheetflow at nonerosive velocities
through the protected stream buffers.
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.

We are submitting this preconstruction notification form for the above referenced project along with
a revised wetland and Riparian Buffer Map.
An earlier version of the map was submitted for preliminary comments and this revised map has
addressed the review comments as follows:
1. The cart path riparian buffer area was reduced from original plan by reducing the width of
impacted area from 20' to 10'.
2. The size of the wetland impact at the proposed pond was reduced by reducing the size of the
pond. This pond will be used as a storm water attenuation measure and a bioretention area.
3. The wetland areas within the golf course will not be impacted and the course will be designed
so as not to affect these areas.
4. There will be two wetland areas affected in the two channels that will be piped to allow for
the access road. The total stream impact length for these two areas is approximately 296 LF.
This length is required as it represents the length of the existing stream from the toe of the fill
slope to the opposite toe of the fill slope plus the length of the Rip Rap Energy dissipater,
which is required at the pipe outlet point in order to prevent erosive velocities.
5. The existing low areas between the two proposed ponds was judged to not need riparian
buffers along its length. This determination was made by Steve Mitchell with DWQ at an on
site meeting on 7/7/99.
Please inform us if you need further information concerning this wetland impact and riparian buffer
zone permit for this project.

Sincerely,
Jordan-Tew & Associates, PA

Johnston County
CERTIFIED MAIL-RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
Mr. Nathan Russell Adams
3634 Cleveland Rd.
Smithfield NC 27577
Dear Mr.Adams:
The Division of Water Quality has reviewed your plans for the discharge of fill material into 0.25
acres of wetlands and 350 feet of streams located at Adams Creek subdivision in Johnston County for
construction access roads for a golf course residential development. 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 15A
NCAC 2 B.0233 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.
Please provide us with information supporting your position that states your project must be
constructed as planned and that you have no practicable alternative to placing fill in these waters and/or
wetlands. Specifically can you construct your golf course without impacting the stream buffer except for
golf cart crossings? Specifically holes 2,3,9, 10,12 and 16 may need to be modified. Any documentation
such as maps and narrative that you can supply to address alternative designs for your project may be
helpful in our review of your 401 Certification.
Please respond within three weeks of the date of this letter by sending a copy of this information to
me and one copy to Mr. Steve Mitchell, Raleigh Regional Office at 3800 Barrett Drive, PO Box 27687
Raleigh, NC 27609. If we do not hear from you in three_weeks, we will assume that you no longer want to
pursue this project and we will consider the project as withdrawn. I can be reached at 919-733-1786 if you
have any questions.
