Justification: In order to protect against impairment of water quality standards and best
usage of receiving and downstream waters, water quality based management practices
must be employed to protect against direct or indirect discharge of waste or other sources
of water pollution. Surface water quality standards require that conditions of waters be
suitable for all best uses provided for in state rule (including, at minimum: aquatic life
propagation, survival, and maintenance of biological integrity, wildlife, secondary contact
recreation, agriculture) and that activities must not cause water pollution that precludes
any best use on a short-term or long-term basis. In determining that the proposed activity
will comply with state water quality standards (including designated uses, numeric criteria,
narrative criteria and the states antidegradation policy), the Division must evaluate if the
activity has avoided and minimized impacts to waters, would cause or contribute to a
violation of standards, or would result in secondary or cumulative impacts.
5. Mitigation must be provided for the proposed impacts as specified in the table below. The
Division has received an acceptance letter from the NC Division of Mitigation Services
(DMS) to meet this mitigation requirement. Until the DMS receives and clears your
payment, and proof of payment has been provided to this Office, no impacts specified in
this Authorization Certificate shall occur. For accounting purposes, this Authorization
Certificate authorizes payment to the DMS to meet the following compensatory mitigation

used along streambanks or within wetlands.
Citation: 15A NCAC 02H .0506(b), 15A NCAC 02H .0507(c)
Justification: A project that affects waters shall not be permitted unless the existing uses
(including aquatic life propagation and biological integrity), and the water quality to protect
such uses, are protected. Protections are necessary to ensure any remaining surface waters
or wetlands, and any surface waters or wetlands downstream, continue to support existing
uses during and after project completion. The Division must evaluate if the activity has
avoided and minimized impacts to waters, would cause or contribute to a violation of
standards, or would result in secondary or cumulative impacts.
15. Culverts shall be designed and installed in such a manner that the original stream profiles
are not altered and allow for aquatic life movement during low flows. The dimension,
pattern, and profile of the stream above and below a pipe or culvert shall not be modified
by widening the stream channel or by reducing the depth of the stream in connection with
the construction activity. The width, height, and gradient of a proposed culvert shall be such
as to pass the average historical low flow and spring flow without adversely altering flow
velocity. If the width of the culvert is wider than the stream channel, the culvert shall
include multiple boxes/pipes, baffles, benches and/or sills to maintain the natural width of
the stream channel. If multiple culverts/pipes/barrels are used, low flows shall be
accommodated in one culvert/pipe and additional culverts/pipes shall be installed such that
they receive only flows above bankfull.
Placement of culverts and other structures in streams shall be below the elevation of the
streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48 inches, and 20% of
the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than or equal to 48 inches, to allow
low flow passage of water and aquatic life. If the culvert outlet is submerged within a pool
or scour hole and designed to provide for aquatic passage, then culvert burial into the
streambed is not required.
For structures less than 72" in diameter/width, and topographic constraints indicate culvert
slopes of greater than 2.5% culvert burial is not required, provided that all alternative
options for flattening the slope have been investigated and aquatic life
movement/connectivity has been provided when possible (e.g. rock ladders, cross -vanes,
sills, baffles etc.). Notification, including supporting documentation to include a location
map of the culvert, culvert profile drawings, and slope calculations, shall be provided to
DWR 30 calendar days prior to the installation of the culvert.

When bedrock is present in culvert locations, culvert burial is not required, provided that
there is sufficient documentation of the presence of bedrock. Notification, including
supporting documentation such as a location map of the culvert, geotechnical reports,
photographs, etc. shall be provided to DWR a minimum of 30 calendar days prior to the
installation of the culvert. If bedrock is discovered during construction, then DWR shall be
notified by phone or email within 24 hours of discovery.
Installation of culverts in wetlands shall ensure continuity of water movement and be
designed to adequately accommodate high water or flood conditions. When roadways,
causeways, or other fill projects are constructed across FEMA-designated floodways or
wetlands, openings such as culverts or bridges shall be provided to maintain the natural
hydrology of the system as well as prevent constriction of the floodway that may result in
destabilization of streams or wetlands.
The establishment of native woody vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization
techniques shall be used where practicable instead of rip -rap or other bank hardening
methods.
Citation: 15A NCAC 02H .0506(b); 15A NCAC 02H .0507(c)
Justification: Surface water quality standards require that conditions of waters be suitable
for all best uses provided for in state rule, and that activities must not cause water pollution
that precludes any best use on a short-term or long-term basis. Ensuring that in -stream
structures are installed properly will ensure that surface water quality standards are met
and conditions of waters are suitable for all best uses.
This approval to proceed with your proposed impacts or to conduct impacts to waters as
depicted in your application shall expire upon expiration of the 404 or CAMA Permit. The
conditions in effect on the date of issuance shall remain in effect for the life of the project,
regardless of the expiration date of this Certification. [15A NCAC 02H .0507(c)]
