APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and AUTHORIZATION CERTIFICATE per the Neuse
River Buffer Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B.0233) with ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
To Whom It May Concern:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill within
or otherwise impact 0.129 acres of wetlands, 102 feet of streams and 7,000 square feet (fe) (or 0.16 acres) of
protected riparian buffers for the purpose of constructing a road at the subject property, as described within
your application dated September 30, 2003 and received by the N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on
October 6, 2003 including revised plans December 10, 2003 received by the DWQ on December 17, 2003 and
additional information received by the DWQ on May 10, 2004. After reviewing your application, we have
decided that the impacts are covered by the DWQ General Water Quality Certification Number(s) 3402
(GC3402). The Certification(s) allows you to use Nationwide Permit(s) 39 when issued by the US Army
Corps of Engineers (USACE). This letter shall also act as your approved Authorization Certificate for
impacts to the protected riparian buffers per 15A NCAC 2B .0233. In addition, you should obtain or
otherwise comply with any other required federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project
including (but not limited to) Erosion and Sediment Control, Non-discharge, and water supply regulations.
---Also; this approval will expire when the accompanying 404 permit expires unless otherwise specified in the
General Certification. This approval shall replace the approval issued on December 1, 2003.
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 of this Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for
complying with all conditions. If total fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre of wetland
or 150 linear feet of stream, 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 - Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all retained
jurisdictional wetlands, waters and protective buffers in order to assure compliance for future wetland,
water and buffer impact. These mechanisms shall be put in place prior to impacting any wetlands,
waters and/or buffers approved for impact under this Certification Approval and Authorization
Certificate. A sample deed notification can be downloaded from the 401/Wetlands Unit web site at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands.
2. Erosion & Sediment Control Practices - Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full
compliance with all specifications governing the proper design, installation and operation and
maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect surface waters standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated,
and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and
Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures
must be such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of
the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all
construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or
leased borrow pits associated with the project.
c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed,
operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina
Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance
with the requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
3. No Waste, Spoil, Solids, or Fill of Any - No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in
wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the footprint of the impacts depicted in the Preconstruction
Notice Application. 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.
4. No Sediment & Erosion Control Measures w/n Wetlands or Waters - 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 devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall be removed
and the natural grade restored within six months of the date that the Division of Land Resources has
released the project.
5. Certificate of Completion-- Upon completion of -all -work approved within the 401 Water Quality.
Certification or applicable Buffer Rules, and any subsequent modifications, the applicant is required to
return the attached certificate of completion to the 401/Wetlands Unit, North Carolina Division of

directed as diffuse flow at non-erosive velocities through the protected stream buffers such that it will
not re-concentrate before discharging into the stream as identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233 (5). If
this is not possible it may be necessary to provide stormwater facilities that are considered to remove
nitrogen. This may require additional approval from this Office.
Violations of any condition herein set forth may result in revocation of this Certification and may result in
criminal and/or civil penalties. This Certification shall become null and void unless the above conditions are
made conditions of the Federal 404 and/or coastal Area Management Act Permit. This Certification shall

To Whom It May Concern:
On December 17, 2003 the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) was notified by receipt of your additional information
regarding your plan to fill wetlands or waters for the purpose of constructing a road crossing in Johnston County. Approval
from DWQ is required to disturb these areas. Please provide 7 copies of the following informatiot) at)d refer to the DWQ #
listed above in your reply. Please show these on maps of suitable scale (for instance 1" = 1,00 feet) so we can begin to
determine your projects' compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0500.
1. The application fee was insufficient because the modification to the original 401 Certification includes additional
impacted and additional features (riparian wetlands) are shown on the site plan. Please provide $200. This
additional fee must be received before your application can be reviewed.
2. A deed restriction on the site's streams and wetlands will be required in any modified 401.
3. Please provide permit/authorization indicating that septic fields for lots 29 and 49 can be located adjacent to linear
wetland feature.
Please telephone Ed Schwartzman at 919-715-3477 if you have any questions or would require copies of our rules or
procedural materials. This project will remain on hold as incomplete in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0505(c). The
processing time for this application will begin when this information is received. If we do not hear from you by writing or
by fax at [phone] within three (3) weeks we will assume you no longer want to pursue the project and will consider
it withdrawn.

Dear Frank,
T1w attached copy of a section of a preliminary subdivision plat for Wedgewood
Subdivision shows the locations for the septic system drainfield areas for lots 29 & 49.
These areas are located well outside of any adjacent wetlands in the subdivision. Access to
these areas from the main section of the lots will be via easements as shown which will
accorrunodate 2 inch sewage pressure mains. Impacts to wetlands will be minimal for the
installation of the pressure mains. These impacts will be for the installation only and will
not be permanent.
Please call me if you have any questions regarding this matter.

Subject Property: Wedgewood Subdivision on SR 1907
To Whom It May Concern:
On December 17, 2003 the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) was notified by receipt of your additional information
regarding your plan to fill wetlands or waters for the purpose of constructing a road crossing in Johnston County. Approval
from DWQ is required to disturb these areas. Please provide 7 copies of the following information and refer to the DWQ #
listed above in your reply. Please show these on maps of suitable scale (for instance 1" = 100 feet) so we can begin to
determine your projects' compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500.
1. The application fee was insufficient because the modification to the original 401 Certification includes additional
impacted and additional features (riparian wetlands) are shown on the site plan. Please provide $200. This
additional fee must be received before your application can be reviewed.
2. A deed restriction on the site's streams and wetlands will be required in any modified 401.
3. Please provide permit/authorization indicating that septic fields for lots 29 and 49 can be located adjacent to linear
wetland feature.
Please telephone Ed Schwartzman at 919-715-3477 if you have any questions or would require copies of our rules or
procedural materials. This project will remain on hold as incomplete in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0505(c). The
processing time for this application will begin when this information is received. If we do not hear from you by writing or
by fax at [phone] within three (3) weeks we will assume you no longer want to pursue the project and will consider
it withdrawn.

Dear Mr. Hodge:
I have reviewed the information submitted for the project referenced by the Raleigh Regional
Office as NBR 03-195. An evaluation of the stream features present on the property was
performed on July 17, 2003 to determine whether or not the site would require compliance with
the Neuse Buffer Rules. On November the seventh, 2003, we revisited the site and determined
that the stream that was defined as intermittent in the earlier visit is actually a ditch the flows into
a wetland. Therefore, Poplar Branch is the only buffered stream on this property. This
determination replaces the following;
• The features represented on the Johnston County Soils and the Clayton USGS topographic
maps were evaluated to determine their subjectivity to the Rule. It was determined that there
are two features present within the subdivision boundaries. The main creek, Poplars Branch
runs along the western property line. And additional feature is represented on the soil's map
and was found to be present on the ground as a stream and therefore subject to the fifty-foot
riparian protection zone.
This letter addresses only those issues involving the riparian area. For information relative to
other impacts, 401/404, or wetland issues, please contact Mr. John Dorney at 919-733-1786.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and if this Office can be of any other assistance or if

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.
To minimize impact, the crossina was designed nearly perpendicular to the drainage feature
and the amount of fill needed will be reduced to a bare minimum to provide proper cover for the
drainage structure to be installed.
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
bttn-//h2n_enr_state_ne_»c/newe.tlandc/ctrmaide.btml.
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). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at

To Whom It May Concern:
On August 21, 2003 the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) was notified by receipt of your application regarding your plan to
fill wetlands or, waters for the purpose of constructing a road crossing in Johnston County. Approval from DWQ is required
to disturb these areas. Please provide 7 copies of the following information and refer to the DWQ # listed above in your
reply. Please show these on maps of suitable scale (for instance 1" = 100 feet) so we can begin to determine your projects'
compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0500.
1. Please show all stream impacts including all fill slopes, dissipaters, and bank stabilization on the site plan.
2. Please show all wetland impacts including fill slopes on the site plan.
3. Please indicate all buffer impacts on the site plan.
4. Please provide cross section details showing the provisions for aquatic life passage.
5. This Office believes that the stormwater device labeled on the plans as Level Spreader 3 can be moved or
reconfigured to avoid the impacts to the riparian buffer. Please revise the plans to avoid the impacts.
6. This Office believes that the stormwater device labeled on the plans as Level Spreader 4 can be moved or
reconfigured to minimize the impacts to the riparian buffer. Please revise the plans to minimize the impacts.
7. Please revise the plans and provide calculations to show that diffuse flow will be achieved through the entire buffer
at the stormwater discharge level spreaders 1, 2, 3 and 4. If it is not possible to achieve diffuse flow through the
entire buffer then it may be necessary to provide stormwater management practices that remove nutrients before the
stormwater can be discharged through the buffer.
Please telephone Ed Schwartzman at 919-715-3477 if you have any questions or would require copies of our rules or
procedural materials. This project will remain on hold as incomplete in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0505(c). The
