Buffer Permitting Unit prior to the commencement of the modifications. KRG New Hill Place, LLC DWR# 09 -1346 V5 Individual Certification #3841 Page 6 of 10 4. 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 for this project. 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.. Approved plans and specifications for this project are incorporated by reference and are enforceable parts of this permit. 5. Sediment and Erosion Control 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 and if applicable, comply with the specific conditions and requirements of the NPDES Construction Stormwater Permit issued to the site: 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 reclamation in accordance 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. 6. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters. Exceptions to this condition require application submittal to and written approval by the Division. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, then design and placement of temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in dis- equilibrium of wetlands, stream beds, or banks, adjacent to or upstream and downstream 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 Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR) or locally delegated program has released the specific area within the project.

Construction Stormwater Permit NCG010000 An NPDES Construction Stormwater Permit is required for construction projects that disturb one (1) or more acres of land. This Permit allows stormwater to be discharged during land disturbing construction activities as stipulated in the conditions of the permit. If your project is covered by this permit, full compliance with permit conditions including the erosion & sedimentation control plan, inspections and maintenance, self- monitoring, record keeping and reporting requirements is required. A copy of the general permit (NCG010000), inspection log sheets, and other information may be found at: http: / /portal.ncdenr.or /web /wq /ws/su /npdessw #tab -w. 8. Work in the Dry - All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted so that, the flowing stream does not come in contact with the disturbed 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. 9. If concrete is used during the construction, then all necessary measures shall be taken to prevent direct contact between uncured or curing concrete and waters of the state. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to waters of the state due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life /fish kills. 10. Placement of Culverts and Other Structures in Waters and Wetlands Culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profiles are not altered and to allow for aquatic life movement during low flows. Existing stream dimensions (including the cross section dimensions, pattern and longitudinal profile) must be maintained above and below locations of each culvert. Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams must be below the elevation of the streambed by one (1) foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48 inches, and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48 inches, to allow low glow passage of water and aquatic life. Installation of culverts in wetlands must ensure continuity of water movement and be designed to adequately accommodate high water or flood conditions. Additionally, when roadways, causeways, or other fill projects are constructed across FEMA- designated floodways or wetlands, openings such as culverts or bridges must 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 must be used where practicable instead of rip rap or other bank hardening methods. KRG New Hill Place, LLC DWR# 09 -1346 V5 Individual Certification #3841 Page 8 of 10 Please send photographs upstream and downstream of each culvert site to document correct installation along with the Certificate of Completion form. 11. All temporary fill and culverts shall be removed and the impacted area returned to natural conditions, within 60 days of the determination that the temporary impact is no longer necessary. The impacted areas shall be restored to original grade, including each stream's original cross sectional dimensions, plan form pattern, and longitudinal bed and bed profile, and the various sites shall be stabilized with natural woody vegetation (except approved maintenance areas) and restored to prevent erosion. 12. All temporary pipes /culverts /riprap pads etc, shall be installed in all streams as outlined in the most recent edition of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual so as not to restrict stream flow or cause dis- equilibrium. 13. Any riprap required for proper culvert placement, stream stabilization, or restoration of temporarily disturbed areas shall be restricted to the area directly impacted by the approved construction activity. All riprap shall be buried and /or "keyed in" such that the original stream elevation and streambank contours are restored and maintained. Placement of riprap or other approved materials shall not result in de- stabilization of the stream bed or banks upstream or downstream of the area. 14. Any riprap used for stream stabilization shall be of a size and density to prevent it from being carried off by wave, current action, or stream flows and consist of clean rock or masonry material free of debris or toxic pollutants. Riprap shall not be installed in the streambed except in specific areas required for velocity control and to ensure integrity of bank stabilization measures. 15. A one -time application of fertilizer to re- establish vegetation is allowed in disturbed areas including riparian buffers, but is restricted to no closer than 10 feet from top of bank of streams. Any fertilizer application must comply with all other Federal, State and Local regulations. 16. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all retained jurisdictional wetlands, waters and protective buffers within the project boundaries in order to assure compliance for future wetland, water and buffer impact. -ifhese mechanisms shall be put in place at the time of recording of the property, or of individual lots, whichever is appropriate. A sample deed notification can be downloaded from the 401 &Buffer Permitting Unit website at http: / /portal.ncdenr.org/ web /wq /swp /ws/ 401 /certsand permits /apply /forms. The text of the sample deed notification may be modified as appropriate to suit to this project. Documentation of deed notifications shall be provided to the Division upon request. 17. This Certification does not relieve the applicant of the responsibility to obtain all other required Federal, State, or Local approvals.
