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

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.

must comply with the requirements set forth in 15A NCAC 046 .0124 Design Standards
in Sensitive Watersheds.
5. Turbidity Standard
The turbidity standard of 25 NTUs (Nephelometric Turbidity Units) shall not be exceeded as
described in 15 A-NCAC 02B.0200. Appropriate sediment and erosion control practices
must be used to meet this standard.
6. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters or wetlands will be regularly
inspected and maintained to prevent contamination of waters and wetlands from fuels,
lubricants, hydraulic fluids or other potential toxic chemicals. In the event of a
hydrocarbon or chemical spill, the permitee /contractor shall immediately contact the
Division of Water Resources, between the hours of 8 am to 5 pm at the Wilmington
Regional Office at 910.796.7215 and after hours and on weekends call (800) 858 -0368.

7. Appropriate measures should be installed prior to any land clearing activities to protect
waters and wetlands from turbidity and/ or sedimentation. These measures should be
routinely inspected and properly maintained, and excavated materials should be contained
outside the wetland boundary. Excessive silt and sediment loads can have numerous
detrimental effects on aquatic resources including destruction of spawning habitat,
suffocation of eggs, and clogging of gills of aquatic species.
8. Wetland Boundary Identification
The wetland boundary must be clearly identified within 50 feet of the project corridor as
depicted on the jurisdictional determination map signed by the US Army Corps of
Engineers. The wetland boundary identification must be physically /visually identified using
silt fence, safety fence or similar products during all phases of construction. These
boundaries must be maintained until the project is completed and released by the NC
Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR).

9. Diffuse Flow
All constructed stormwater conveyance outlets shall be designed and maintained as diffuse
flow at non - erosive velocities if they are directed through the wetlands such that it will not
re- concentrate before discharging. If this is not possible, it may be necessary to revise that
stormwater plan to prevent this from occurring. This may require additional approval from
this Office for wetlands and stormwater revisions.
10. Any final construction plans for this project must include or reference the application and
plans approved by the Division under this authorization letter and certification. It shall
be the responsibility of the permitee to review all construction drawings with the
