DMS Planning Context
Buffalo Flats Restoration project is located in HUC 03040105020050, the Upper Dutch Buffalo Creek watershed, which
is listed as a Targeted Local Watershed (TLW) in the 2009 Lower Yadkin River Basin Restoration Priorities (RBRP).
Currently, DMS has four other projects in this TLW/LWP (Dutch Buffalo Creek Wickliff, Dutch Buffalo Creek Walker,
Suther and Helms).
The Buffalo Flats Restoration project site is located on Dutch Buffalo Creek which drains to the Rocky River
approximately 16 miles downstream. This section of Dutch Buffalo Creek has been designated as a High Quality Water
Supply Water by the NC Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) and is also designated as the Yadkin/Dutch Buffalo
Aquatic Habitat Natural Heritage Natural Area by the NC Natural Heritage Program. The Rocky River is identified on
the NCDWR 2014 303d Impaired Waters list. It was listed for copper and turbidity in 2008.
The 2009 Lower Yadkin RBRP indicates that existing natural resources are of high value in this watershed, particularly
since there are water supply waters. In addition, there are animal operations that could contribute to water quality
stressors.
The goals of the Buffalo Flats Restoration project are consistent with DMS watershed planning priorities. The project
improves and protects a portion of Dutch Buffalo Creek that been determined to be of high value to the State of North
Carolina. The project eliminates livestock access and buffers pollutant inputs to the system. In addition to the water
quality benefits, these actions also contribute to improved habitat and hydrology onsite.
Proiect Setting and Background Summar
The Buffalo Flats Restoration Site (BFRS) is a full -delivery project that was developed for the North Carolina Division of
Mitigation Services (DMS). Construction was completed in October 2011. The site is within the 03040105 Watershed
Cataloging Unit (8-digit HUC) and the Local Watershed Unit (14-digit HUC) 03040105020050. In DMS's most recent
publication of excluded and Targeted Local Watersheds/Hydrologic Units, this 14-digit HUC has been identified as a
Targeted Local Watershed.
The project site, which is protected by a 20.2-acre permanent conservation easement held by the State of North Carolina, is
situated in Cabarrus County in the Southern Outer Piedmont ecoregion of the Piedmont physiographic province. The site is
located on a single parcel near Gold Hill Road approximately six miles northeast of Concord, North Carolina.
The BFRS provided mitigation for wetland impacts within Hydrologic Unit 03040105 by restoring, preserving, and creating
20.2 acres of wetland, generating 11.6 riparian wetland mitigation units (WMU's) and 3.4 non -riparian WMU's.
All wetlands throughout the site have been successful in meeting restoration goals. All 10 of the groundwater gauges have
met the success criteria in at least 3 of the 5 monitoring years, with 7 of the 10 gauges meeting success criteria in at least 4
of the 5 years. Vegetative data shows that a variety of wetland species have become established throughout the site and all
13 vegetation monitoring plots achieved the 5 year success criteria for planted woody stem density. Soil monitoring in the
wetland creation areas also indicates the development of hydric soils within these areas.
Two supplemental plantings occurred at this site during the monitoring period. The first supplemental planting took place
between MY01 and MY02 and was spread throughout the entire site to address the low survival of planted stems between
baseline planting and MY01. Many of these stems were counted as volunteers during the MY02 vegetation monitoring, but
this was corrected during MY03, and so there is an increase in planted stem density within several plots between MY02 and
W03 despite no supplemental planting occurring at this time. The second supplemental planting occurred between MY04
and MY05.One-hundred gallon size bald cypress, as well as 2,000 bare root size bald cypress and 1,000 bare root size water
tupelo were planted in the southern portion of the site, particularly in the area of the old pond. This area had struggled with
planted stem survival due to long periods of inundation and so trees that are more tolerant of this level of inundation were
planted in this area. Vegetation Plots 2, 3, 4, and 5 were the only plots included within this supplemental planting area.
Other increases in planted stem density from one monitoring year to the other are due to stems marked as "Missing" being
located or resprouting.
Goals and Obiectives:
Project Goals
• Create diverse bottomland hardwood and low elevation seep communities that are integrated into the Dutch Buffalo
Creek Corridor.
• Buffer nutrient and sediment impacts to Dutch Buffalo Creek from adjacent grazing practices.
Project Objectives
• Fill field ditches and ponds to slow the removal of hydrology from the site.
• Redevelop wetland microtopography to capture surface hydrology and slow subsurface drainage.
• Plant the mitigation area with species native to bottomland riparian forest and low elevation seep communities.
• Install livestock exclusion fencing.

DMS Recommendation and Conclusion
The Buffalo Flats Wetland Restoration Site has developed into a stable, well vegetated, wetland restoration project. The site
demonstrates significant functional uplift from the pre -restoration condition and has met hydrology requirements in all
years.
Although the site has required supplemental planting to address areas of low density due to prolonged inundation, overall
the site is well vegetated and all areas are growing well. All plots are meeting the year 5 success criteria and there are many
planted and volunteer woody stems throughout the site.
The hydrology data and the site's vegetation condition indicate that it is on a path to success. DMS recommends that this
site be closed out with the requested credits.

You have our approval, in accordance with the general certification and those conditions listed below,
to impact 0.547 acre of wetland in order to complete the restoration of 11.2 acres of riverine wetland,
enhancement of 1.2 acres of riverine wetland (creation), and the restoration of 3.4 acres of non -riparian
wetland in Cabarrus County, as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
on January 31, 2011 and subsequent information submitted on August 1, 2011. After reviewing your
application, we have determined that this project is covered by Water Quality General Certification Number
3689, which can be viewed on our web site at http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/swp/ws/401. The General
Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 27 once it is issued to you by the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers. Please note that you should get any other federal, state or local permits before proceeding with
your project, including those required by (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non -Discharge, and
Water Supply Watershed regulations.
The above noted Certification will expire when the associated 404 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. 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.
In addition to the requirements of the certification, you must also comply with the following conditions:
1. The Mooresville Regional Office shall be notified in writing once construction at the approved impact areas
has commenced.
2. Hydrologic performance standards for the site shall be evaluated using the spatial averaging methodology
described in the final mitigation plan. Within the riparian wetland type, the average minimum saturation
necessary to meet the performance standard shall be 10% of the growing season. Within the non -riparian
wetland type, the average minimum saturation necessary to meet the performance standard shall be 5% of
the growing season. The growing season is to be determined using the methodology described in the
mitigation plan.

303(d) of the Clean Water Act) and any other appropriate requirements of state and federal law. If DWQ
determines that such standards or laws are not being met (including the failure to sustain a designated or
achieved use) or that state or federal law is being violated, or that further conditions are necessary to assure
compliance, DWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification to include conditions appropriate to assure
compliance with such standards and requirements in accordance with 15 A NCAC 2H.0507(d). Before
codifying the certification, DWQ shall notify the applicant and the US Army Corps of Engineers, provide public
notice in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0503, and provide opportunity for public hearing in accordance with
15A NCAC 2H.0504. Any new or revised conditions shall be provided to the applicant in writing, shall be
provided to the United States Army Corps of Engineers for reference in any permit issued pursuant to Section
404 of the Clean Water Act, and shall also become conditions of the 404 Permit for the project.
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 that conforms to Chapter 150E 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

Water Quality Certification Number 3689 is issued in conformity with the requirements of Section
401, Public Laws 92-500 and 95-217 of the United States and subject to the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality Regulations in 15A NCAC 2H .0500 and 15A NCAC 2B .0200 for the
discharge of fill material to waters as described in 33 CFR 330 Appendix A (B) (13) and (27) of
the Corps of Engineers regulations (i.e., Nationwide Permit Numbers 13 and 27) and Regional
Permit 197800080. The category of activities shall include stream bank stabilization or stream
restoration activity as long as impacts to waters or significant wetlands are minimized; wetland
and riparian restoration or creation; and the construction and maintenance of bulkheads on non -
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) lakes.
The State of North Carolina certifies that the specified category of activity will not violate
applicable portions of Sections 301, 302, 303, 306 and 307 of the Public Laws 92-500 and 95-217
if conducted in accordance with the conditions set forth.
All proposed fill or modification of wetlands and/or waters, including streams and streambanks,
under this General Certification requires application to, and written approval from the Division of
Water Quality (the "Division"), regardless of the purpose of the restoration, enhancement,
stabilization, or creation activity.
Bank Stabilization projects qualifying for Nationwide Permit 13 for erosion protection of up to 500
feet of stream banks to protect property are exempt from the requirement for written approval.
Any impacts to riparian buffers associated with this work in the Neuse, Tar -Pamlico, Randleman
and Catawba River Basins (or any other basins with Riparian Area Protection Rules [Buffer
Rules) in effect at the time of application [in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B .0200]) will require
written approval, unless the activities are listed as "EXEMPT' from these Rules.
In accordance with North Carolina General Statute Section 143-215.3D(e), written approval for a
401 Water Quality General Certification must include the appropriate fee. If a project also
requires a CAMA Permit, then one payment to both agencies shall be submitted and will be the
higher of the two fees.
Conditions of Certification:
1. Activities shall meet the definitions, design, and monitoring protocols specified within the US
Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington District Regulatory Guidance Letter (RGL02-02) and
the Stream Mitigation Guidelines (April 2003) or any subsequent updates to these
documents.
2. 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 Pre -construction Notification and/or those
authorized by this Certification, including incidental impacts. All construction activities,
including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion control
Water Quality Certification No. 3689

Water Quality Certification No. 3689
Best Management Practices, shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality
standards, statutes, or rules occur.
3. Standard Erosion and 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:
a. 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.
b. 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
c. Reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the requirements of the
Sedimentation Pollution Control Act and the Mining Act of 1971.
d. Sufficient materials required for stabilization and/or repair of erosion control measures
and stormwater routing and treatment shall be on site at all times, except for publicly
funded linear transportation projects when materials can be accessed offsite in a timely
manner..
e. If the project occurs in waters or watersheds classified as Primary Nursery Areas
(PNA's), Trout (Tr), SA, WS-1, WS-11, High Quality (HOW), or Outstanding Resource
(ORW) waters, then the sediment and erosion control requirements contained within
Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds (15A NCAC 04B .0124) supercede all other
sediment and erosion control requirements.
4. No Sediment and Erosion Control Measures in Wetlands or Waters
Sediment and erosion control measures should not be placed in wetlands or waters outside
of the permitted impact areas without prior approval by the Division. If placement of sediment
and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, design and placement of
temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in
dis-equilibrium of wetlands or stream beds or banks, adjacent to or upstream and down
stream of the above structures. All sediment and erosion control devices shall be removed
and the natural grade restored within two (2) months of the date that the Division of Land
Resources or locally delegated program has released the project.
5. Construction Stormwater Permit NCG010000
Upon the approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan issued by the Division of
Land Resources (DLR) or a DLR delegated local erosion and sedimentation control program,
an NPDES General stormwater permit (NCG010000) administered by the Division is
automatically issued to the project. This General Permit allows stormwater to be discharged
during land disturbing construction activities as stipulated by conditions in the permit. If your
project is covered by this permit [applicable to construction projects that disturb one (1) or
more acres], full compliance with permit conditions including the sedimentation control plan,
self -monitoring, record keeping and reporting requirements are required. A copy of this
permit and monitoring report forms may be found at
htty•11h2o enr state nc uslsu/Forms Documents.htm.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) shall be required to be in full
compliance with the conditions related to construction activities within the most recent version
of their individual NPDES (NCS000250) stormwater permit.
Water Quality Certification No. 3689 2

Water Quality Certification N'. 3639
6. Construction Moratoriums and Coordination
If activities must occur during periods of high biological activity (i.e. sea turtle or bird nesting),
then biological monitoring may be required at the request of other state or federal agencies
and coordinated with these activities. This condition can be waived through written
concurrence on a case by case basis upon reasonable justification.
All moratoriums on construction activities established by the NC Wildlife Resources
Commission (WRC), US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), NC Division of Marine Fisheries
(DMF), or National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to lessen impacts on trout, anadromous
fish, larval/post-larval fishes and crustaceans, or other aquatic species of concern shall be
implemented. This condition can be waived through written concurrence on a case by case
basis upon reasonable justification.
Work within the twenty-five (25) designated trout counties or identified state or federal
endangered or threatened species habitat shall be coordinated with the appropriate W RC,
USFWS, NMFS, and/or DMF personnel.
NC Wildlife Resources Commission will not object to construction of Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS)'urgent and compelling' sites during the spawning period
provided these projects are, to the extent appropriate and practical, constructed by:
a. Using flow diversion structures such as sandbags;
b. Placing large -size rock toes and filter cloth backing for stabilization sites before
backfilling; and
c. Excavating new channel alignments in dry areas.
Construction at non 'urgent and compelling' sites shall not occur during the spawning period
to minimize the potential adverse effects of multiple construction activities on trout or
anadromous fish resources in this stream.
7. Work in the Dry
All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved
best management practices from the most current version of the NC Sediment and Erosion
Control Manual, or the NC DOT Construction and Maintenance Activities Manual, such as
sandbags, rock berms, cofferdams, and other diversion structures shall be used to minimize
excavation in flowing water. Exceptions to this condition require submittal to, and approval
by, the Division.
8. Riparian Area Protection (Buffer) Rules
Activities located in the protected 50-foot wide riparian areas (whether jurisdictional wetlands
or not) within the Neuse, Tar -Pamlico, Randleman, Catawba (or any other basin with buffer
rules), shall be limited to "uses" identified within and constructed in accordance with 15A
NCAC 2B .0233, .0259, .0250 and .0243, and shall be located, designed, constructed, and
maintained to have minimal disturbance to protect water quality to the maximum extent
practicable through the use of best management practices. All buffer rule requirements,
including diffuse flow requirements, must be met.
9. Water Supply Watershed Buffers
The 100-foot wide (high -density development) or the 30-foot wide vegetative buffer (all other
development) must be maintained adjacent to all perennial waters except for allowances as
Water Quality Certification No. 3689

Water Quality Certification No. 3689
provided in the Water Supply Watershed Protection Rules 115A NCAC 2B .0212 through
.0215].
10, If concrete is used during the construction, then a dry work area should be maintained to
prevent direct contact between curing concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently
contacts uncured concrete should not be discharged to surface waters due to the potential for
elevated pH and possible aquatic life/fish kills.
11. Any rip -rap shall be of such a size and density so as not to be able to be carried off by wave
or current action and consist of clean rock or masonry material free of debris or toxic
pollutants. Rip -rap shall not be installed in the streambed except in specific areas required for
velocity control and to ensure structural integrity of bank stabilization measures. If rip -rap is
to be installed within the streambed, the amount and location must be approved in writing by
the Division of Land Resources and Division of Water Quality. However, rock vanes, wing
deflectors, and similar structures for grade control and bank protection are acceptable.
12. If an environmental document is required under NEPA or SEPA, then this General
Certification is not valid until a Finding of No Significant Impact or Record of Decision is
issued by the State Clearinghouse.
13. Additional site -specific conditions may be added to the written approval attached to this
Certification in order to ensure compliance with all applicable water quality and effluent
standards.
14.This Certification shall expire three (3) years from the date of the approval letter from DWQ or
on the same day as the corresponding Nationwide Permit. In accordance with General
Statute 136-44.7B, certifications issued to the NCDOT shall expire only upon expiration of the
federal 404 Permit. The conditions in effect on the date of issuance of Certification for a
specific project shall remain in effect for the life of the project, regardless of the expiration
date of this Certification. If the construction process for approved activities will overlap the
expiration and renewal date of the corresponding 404 Permit and the Corps allows for
continued use of the 404 Permit, then the General Certification shall also remain in effect
without requiring re -application and re -approval to use this Certification for the specific
impacts already approved.
15. The applicant/permittee and their authorized agents shall conduct all activities in a manner
consistent with State water quality standards (including any requirements resulting from
compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act), and any other appropriate requirements of
State and Federal Law. If the Division determines that such standards or laws are not being
met, including failure to sustain a designated or achieved use, or that State or Federal law is
being violated, or that further conditions are necessary to assure compliance, then the
Division may reevaluate and modify this General Water Quality Certification.
16. Certificate of Completion
When written authorization is required for use of this certification, upon completion of all
permitted impacts included within the approval and any subsequent modifications, the
applicant shall be required to return the certificate of completion attached to the approval.
One copy of the certificate shall be sent to the DWQ Central Office in Raleigh at 1650 Mail
Service Center, Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650,
Non-compliance with or violation of the conditions herein set forth by a specific project shall result
in revocation of this Certification for the project and may also result in criminal and/or civil
penalties.
Water Quality Certification No. 3689

The Director of the North Carolina Division of Water Quality may require submission of a formal
application for Individual Certification for any project in this category of activity if it is determined
that the project is likely to have a significant adverse effect upon water quality including state or
federally listed endangered or threatened aquatic species or degrade the waters so that existing
uses of the wetland or downstream waters are precluded.
Public hearings may be held for specific applications or group of applications prior to a
Certification decision if deemed in the public's best interest by the Director of the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality.
