APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and ADDITIONAL COMMONS
Frank Vick; NC DOT
PO Box 25201
Raleigh NC 27611-5201
Dear Mr. Vick:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill
material 1.8 acres of wetlands for the purpose of constructing the US 311 (High Point) Bypass form NC 68 to
US 29!70 in Guilford County, as you described in your application dated October 10, 1997. After reviewing
your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Numbers -
3103 and 3100. These certifications allow you to use Nationwide Permit Numbers 14 and General Permit 031
when the Corps of Engineers issues them. 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 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). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any
additional conditions listed below.
1. A total of 6085 feet of stream restoration shall be required for this project. A detailed mitigation plan
depicting restoration sites, monitoring plans and schedule for restoration shall be provided to DWQ for
written approval within one year of the date of this certification. Implementation of this mitigation plan
is to be completed within one year of written approval form DWQ. Stream restoration for this project is
defined as: (1) the reestablishment of wooded buffers next to channels
(2) the restoration of stream sinuosity when needed
(3) the stabilization of streambanks when appropriate
(4) the control of existing runoff to non-erosive velocities if resultant streambank stability
can be demonstrated.
The ultimate goal is 6085 feet of restored streams with protected vegetated buffers, natural sinuosity and
stable streambanks.
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 Dorsey at 919-733-1786.
