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.
Site is already developed commercially and this application is to cover pond that has been
used as illegal community dump site.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 21-1 .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 15
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
http_//h2c_enr.state. c_us/ncwetlands/strmgide.fitmi.
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.
See Attachment #1
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http:Hii2o cm,state. c.us/wru/hidex.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): N/A
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet):
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres):

ATTACHMENT I MARTIN EDC
The project is to fill in .37 ac. of a .50 ac. pond that has been used as the community dump for years. It is located
directly behind the Martin Plaza located on Hwy 17 North in Williamston, NC. The adjoining area is a parking lot
on the West and South sides, the hwy right of way is on the East, and the area to the North is graded and planted
in pines.
The pond has a 36-inch culvert under the hwy right of way that leads to a swampy area that eventually
flows to the Roanoke River approximately 3/4 miles away. The water that enters the pond originates as
storm water runoff from Martin Plaza.. This water will still be directed to the wetland part of the
remaining pond to be filtered prior to entering the swamp. There is no flow except during rain events
greater than '/4 inch or more.
The area that is not filled will be cleaned of debris and vegetated as a wetland with cattails and native
trees such as black gum or other native variety. This area will be approximately .13 acres. All fill
material will consist of clean fill such as cement brick and dirt for compaction. This will be pushed into
the pond with a dozer and will create very little disturbance to the water and therefore very little runoff
should occur.
There are no deed restrictions or easements in the affected area. The hwy right of way actually forms
one part of the north east corner of the pond and has been previously filled as part of the highway
construction of Hwy 64 bypass that ties back into Hwy 17. See attached map labeled map # 2. Map #1 is
the topo map for the Willamston area. Map #3 is the enlarged map of the pond area.

Dear Sirs:
The Division of Water Quality has reviewed your plans for the discharge of fill material into 0.37 acres of
wetlands located at Martin Plaza in Martin County for improving the aesthetics of the site. 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 ofthe proposal are made as described below, we will
have to move toward denial of your 401 Certification as required by 15A NCAC 21-1 .0507(e) 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 1-111 in these waters and/or wetlands. Specifically
can you provide documentation via engineering calculations that the remaining wetlands on site will provide
adequate treatment for the stormwater runoff that is entering the site now as well as any new impervious surface
from this site? 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 Deborah Sawyer in our Washing Regional Office. 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. If you
have any questions, please telephone John Dorney at 919-733-1786 or Deborah Sawyer in our Washington
Regional Office at 252-946-6481.

Martin County
Mr. J. Ward
415 East Boulevard
Williamston, NC, 27892
APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Condition
Dear Mr. Ward:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill in 0.37 acres of wetlands in order to fill
in an illegal dump site in Martin County, as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality on May
16, 2002. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality
Certification Number 3362, which can be viewed on our web site at htto://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. This Certification
allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 39 when it is issued by the U.S. Army 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, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also this approval will expire
when the accompanying 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. 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, as well as the additional condition listed below:
The following condition applies unless you can demonstrate to the Division that the anticipated buildout for the reclaimed
area will be less than 30% impervious cover. An additional condition is that a final, written stormwater management plan
shall be approved in writing by this Office before the impacts specified in this Certification occur. The stormwater
management plan must include plans and specifications for stormwater management facilities designed to remove 85%
TSS according to the most recent version of the NC DENR Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual. Also,
before any permanent building is occupied at the subject site, the facilities, as approved by this Office, shall be
constructed and operational, and the stormwater management plan, as approved by this Office, shall be implemented.
The structural stormwater practices and well as drainage patterns must be maintained in perpetuity. No changes to the
structural stormwater practices shall be made without written authorization from the Division of Water Quality.
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 1508 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 Deborah Sawyer in our Washington Regional Office at 252-946-6481 or Cyndi Karoly in
the Central Office in Raleigh 919-733-9721. Questions regarding stormwater requirements should be directed to Todd St.
John in the Central Office at 919-733-9584.
