Dear Mr. Gartland:
Staff of the Division of Water Quality have reviewed the revised level spreader plans submitted by your
engineer (Brent T. Niemann, P.E., ESP Associates) dated May 20, 2004 (received May 26, 2004). This plan
satisfies the condition of the 401 Water Quality Certification issued to you on May 6, 2003. As stated in
that Certification, this stormwater management facility must be constructed and operational and the
stormwater management plan implemented. All other conditions of the Certification are still applicable and
must be followed.
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 Dorney at 919-733-9646 or Cynthia Van
Der Wiele at 919.715-3473.

Charlotte, NC, 28209
APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Gartland:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place permanent fill in 0.47 acre of wetlands and up to 145
linear feet of perennial streams in order to construct a residential subdivision on the Threatt/Beaver/Mattis tract in Mecklenburg County, as
described in your revised application received by the Division of Water Quality on April 1, 2003. After reviewing your application, we have
determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3402, which can be viewed on our web site at
http://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 Certification replaces
the one issued to you on March 14, 2003.
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:
1. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all lots with remaining jurisdictional wetlands and waters or areas within
50 feet of all streams and ponds on the property. These mechanisms shall be put in place within 30 days of the date of this letter or
the issuance of the 404 Permit (whichever is later). A sample deed notification format can be downloaded from the 401/Wetlands Unit
web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands ;
2. 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 diffuse flow
of all stormwater through existing buffers based on the Level Spreader Design Guidance at
http://h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/level.pdf. These facilities must be designed to treat the runoff from the entire project, unless
otherwise explicitly approved by the Division of Water Quality. 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 as
approved by this Office as 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;
3. You are required to return the attached Certification of Completion form to notify DWQ when all work included in the 401 Certification
has been completed.
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, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. 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 Mike Parker in our Mooresville Regional Office at 704-663-1699 or Cyndi Karoly in the Central Office in
Raleigh 919-733-9721.

Re Threatt Beaver Mattis Tract - Approximately 48 acres, Mecklenburz County North Carolina -
Nationwide Permit #39
Dear Sirs:
On behalf of my client, Mr. Bill Gartland of Crosland Land Company, I am requesting authorization to
utilize Nationwide Permit #39 to impact + 0.47 acres of wetlands and 150 linear feet of intermittent to
perennial stream to develop the proposed single family community. There are no proposed impacts to the
2500 linear feet of stream on the project site. As depicted on the plan the remaining wetlands and streams
will be protected within common open space. To mitigate for the proposed wetland impacts areas of the
floodplain including wetlands are proposed to be enhanced. Stormwater will be filtered over the large buffer
areas utilizing level spreading devices. There are no direct discharges of stormwater to any creek. The
following sections present the results of the environmental planning and a description of the impacts with
proposed minimization and mitigation measures.
SUMMARY OF WATERS OF THE D.S.
Methodology
Preliminary identification and delineation of the Jurisdictional Waters on the site were determined
according to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual, Technical Report Y-87-1, 1987, with
Appendices. Preliminary data gathering included review and interpretation of topographic maps; USDA
Soil Conservation Survey; aerial photographs, and preliminary site visits to selected areas. Then the Routine
On-Site Determination Method was utilized to determine the upper boundary of the wetlands. In order to
make a positive wetland determination indicators of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soil, and wetland
hydrology must be identified as described in the manual.
March 28, 2003, Page 3
ThreattBeaver/Mattis Tract
Background
The site is within the headwaters of perennial tributaries of Flat Branch and Flat Branch of the Catawba
Basin (Water Classification - Q. The majority of the site is flat to slightly sloping. The current land-use is
undeveloped woodland areas and existing single family residential property. There are several drainage
channels and drainage patterns on the site that were constructed to facilitate drainage.

These riparian areas can be classified as Palustrine Forested Broad Leaved and Scrub Shrub (PFOIA,
PFO I C, PSS I A). According to the North Carolina Resource Conservation Service, Technical Guide-
Section II-A-2, June 1991, Monacan (Mo) soils and Iredell (IrA) soils are listed as Map Units with
inclusions of Hydric Soils in Mecklenburg County. The streams on the site are intermittent and perennial.
Characteristics include persistent pools, small riffle and pool complexes (a "special aquatic site") in the
perennial streams, and rocky, gravelly, and sandy channel substrate. Vegetation in riparian and along
tributaries is dominated by Facultative Wet Vegetation.

PROPOSED MINIMIZATIONAND MITIGATION
The following Best Management Practices will be employed and strictly enforced to minimize impacts to
Jurisdictional Waters. These will include:
a) Siltation Barriers; Sediment Traps and Diversion Ditches
b) Barricades to define construction limits to sensitive sites and to protect trees
c) Methods to prevent short term impacts will be inspected regularly and maintained during
construction of the project.
d) Project construction will strictly adhere to an approved Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan.
Best Management Practices will include utilizing siltation trapping ponds and other erosion
control structures where appropriate. Impacts from hazardous materials and other toxins to fish
and aquatic life such as fuels will be avoided by not permitting staging areas to be located near

surface waters.
e) As required by the 401 Water Quality Certification conditions, measures will be taken to prevent
"live" or fresh concrete from coming into contact with waters until the concrete has hardened.
MITIGATION PLAN
Stormwater and Wetland Enhance Plan
The purpose of the mitigation plan is to enhance the development of wetlands in various forms, which are
saturated within the root zone or inundated for a significant portion of the growing season in the floodplain
of Flat Branch. The restored and/or created wetlands will provide water storage, bank stabilization,
pollutant removal, and aquatic resource values as described in the Fourth Version - Guidance for Rating
Values of Wetlands in North Carolina. The expected saturation and inundation will lead to the development
of Bottomland Hardwoods, Scrub/Shrub, Emergent, and Aquatic wetland zones. It is expected that the
wetlands created and or enhanced will meet or exceed the wetland areas filled by the development of this
project in the non-wetland floodplain as the result of the proposed measures and will be conducted on
approximately a 2:1 basis.
Stormwater runoff, overland flow, flooding, captured rainfall, and a seasonal high water table will support
the hydrology of these potential wetland areas. To allow a saturated soil development, Coir fiber (coconut)
logs will be used to help impound water and can be installed by hand. They will be lived staked to create a
more natural hummock. The density of the log can be modified, thereby holding or allowing varying
amounts of water to be impounded. These microtopographic features will create the various hydrological
zones.
Habitat Enhancement
Wetland zones adjacent to surface waters improve water quality by filtering runoff, trapping sediment,
absorbing nutrients, and provide wildlife habitat and a food source for aquatic organisms, amphibians, birds
and other wildlife. Currently the vegetation of the floodplain is dominated by exotic and introduced non-
native species such as Chinese Privet, Nepalese Cordgrass, Russian Olive, Japanese Rose, and Japanese
Honeysuckle. The creation and restoration of wetland habitats will gradually cause the existing non-native
vegetation to transition to native Obligate (OBL) and Facultative Wet (FACW) vegetation such as Black
Willow, Silky Dogwood, Green Ash, Oak species, Soft Rush, Jewelweed, Duck Potato, and Tear-Thumb.
Other vegetation which may volunteer include a diversity of saturation tolerant tree species which are also
high in wildlife value include buttonbush, arrowood, elderberry, and spicebush.
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
The impervious percentage for development is approximately 28%. The developed portion of the site is
approximately 38%. Based on a preliminary review of the site with Todd St. John of NCDWQ, the develop
is proposing to utilize a Level Spreader Design to filter runoff from the development in the large
undeveloped and flat floodplain. The design will be based on guidance provided in Draft Level Spreader
Design Options - Version 1.0. with Preformed Scour Holes as recommended by Todd St. John. The
guidance is an attachment to this report.

PROTECTION FROM FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
Remaining streams and wetlands will be protected in common open space or within rear of lots. As
required, deed notifications or similar mechanisms will be placed on all lots with remaining jurisdictional
wetlands and waters or areas within 50 feet of al streams and ponds on the property.
COMPLIANCE WITH WETLAND REGULATIONS
In accordance with Title 15 NCAC 2H.0500, the following DEED NOTIFICATION shall be recorded in
the County Registry prior to the conveyance of lots. Said Deed Notification shall apply to (name
of subdivision), lot numbers in County, North Carolina as shown on plans titled (subdivision
name) prepared by ( name of designer) dated
date:
"A portion of this lot has been determined to meet the requirements for designation as a regulatory
wetland. Any subsequent fill or alteration of this wetland shall conform to the requirements of the
state wetland rules adopted by the State of North Carolina in force at the time of the proposed
alteration. The intent of this provision is to prevent additional wetland fill, so the property owner
should not assume that a future application for fill would be approved. The property owner shall
report the name of the subdivision in any application pertaining to said wetland rules. This
covenant is intended to ensure continued compliance with wetland rules adopted by the State of
North Carolina and, therefore, benefits may be enforced by the State of North Carolina. This
covenant is to run with the land and shall be binding on all Parties and all persons claiming under
them."

THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES
Federally listed plant and animal species with endangered or threatened status are protected under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973. The US Fish and Wildlife Service has identified Schweinitz's sunflower
and the Carolina heelsplitter. Schweinitz's sunflower thrives in full sun characteristic of succession fields,
margins, and forested openings. Based on a site reconnaissance, habitat conducive to support the
Schweinitz's sunflower does not appear to be present in the proiect area. The Carolina heelsplitter is a
freshwater mussel, which prefers shaded areas either, in a ponded portion of a small stream or in runs along
steep banks with moderate current. Primary habitat is waters less than three feet deep with a soft mud,
muddy sand, or shady gravelly substrate. It is normally restricted to protected silted areas or under banks
especially associated with obstructions such as stumps or fallen trees. The current distribution according to
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is limited to portions of two streams -- Goose Creek and Waxhaw Creek
-- and a small river originating from rural areas in Union County. Therefore it is not expected to occur on
this site.
CULTURAL RESOURCES
The project site is disturbed from previous agricultural activities. No structures were found on the site. The
State Historic Preservation Office may review of the USGS maps at the Office of State Archaeology and the
Survey and Planning Office of the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources to determine if sites
are indicated on the National Historic Register within the study area.
AQUATIC HABITAT
The aquatic systems in the project area consist of wetlands and streams in the Catawba Basin. A variety of
wildlife is supported by these systems including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects,
mollusks, and crustaceans. Therefore strict adherence to an approved erosion and sedimentation control
plan will be maintained during the construction period in order to control degradation of water quality
downstream and protect the areas to be preserved. Best Management Practices will include utilizing
siltation trapping ponds and other erosion control structures where appropriate. Impacts from hazardous
materials and other toxins to fish and aquatic life such as fuels will be avoided by not permitting staging
areas to be located near surface waters. Also, as required by the 401 Water Quality Certification conditions,
measures will be taken to prevent "live" or fresh concrete from coming into contact with waters until the
concrete has hardened. Aquatic resources are expected to be enhanced through the restoration of wetland
areas that flood and pond for longer durations.
CONCLUSION
Based on the value of the jurisdictional waters and wetlands on this site, the developer through sensitive site
planning has chosen to balance the site's economic viability with its environmental value and permitability.
The goal of the Site Plan and Mitigation Plan is to help balance the environmental consequences of this
development by protecting waters downstream of the project and to preserve and enhance important
wetland and stream habitats on the site.

bed of the stream or wetland. For all culvert construction activities, the dimension, pattern, and
profile of the stream, (above and below a pipe or culvert), should not be modified by widening
the stream channel or by reducing the depth of the stream. Culvert inverts will be buried at least
one foot below the bed of the stream for culverts greater than 48 inches in diameter. For culverts
48 inches in diameter or smaller, culverts must be buried below the bed of the stream to a depth
equal to or greater than 20 percent of the diameter of the culvert. Bottomless arch culverts will
satisfy this condition. A waiver from the depth specifications in this Regional Condition may be
requested in writing. The waiver will only be issued if it can be demonstrated that the impacts of
complying with this Regional Condition would result in more adverse impacts to the aquatic
environment.
3. Additional Regional Conditions Applicable to this Specific Nationwide Permit.
a. Natural channel design must be applied to the maximum extent practicable for
stream relocations. The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission and the N.C. Division of Water

9. Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams, and wetlands must be placed
below the elevation of the streambed to allow low flow passage of water and aquatic life unless;
it can be shown to DWQ that providing passage would be impractical. Design and placement of
culverts including open bottom or bottomless arch culverts and other structures including
temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in
aggradation, degradation or significant changes in hydrology of wetlands or stream beds or
banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above structures. The applicant is
required to provide evidence that the equilibrium shall be maintained if requested to do so in
writing by DWQ. 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 aggradation, degradation or significant changes in hydrology of
streams or wetlands;

Re: Threatt Beaver Tract Approximately 40 acres, Mecklenbure County. North Carolina -
Nationwide Permit #39
Dear Sirs:
On behalf of my client, Mr. Bill Gartland of Crosland Land Company, I am requesting authorization to
utilize Nationwide Permit #39 to impact + 0.47 acres of wetlands to develop the proposed single family
community. There are no proposed impacts to the 2500 linear feet of stream on the project site. As
depicted on the plan the remaining wetlands and streams will be protected within common open space. To
mitigate for the proposed wetland impacts areas of the floodplain including wetlands are proposed to be
enhanced. Stormwater will be filtered over the large buffer areas utilizing level spreading devices. There
are no direct discharges of stormwater to any creek. The following sections present the results of the
environmental planning and a description of the impacts with proposed minimization and mitigation
measures.
SUMMARY OF WATERS OF THE U.S
Methodoloav
Preliminary identification and delineation of the Jurisdictional Waters on the site were determined
according to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual, Technical Report Y-87-1, 1987, with
Appendices. Preliminary data gathering included review and interpretation of topographic maps; USDA
Soil Conservation Survey; aerial photographs, and preliminary site visits to selected areas. Then the
Routine On-Site Determination Method was utilized to determine the upper boundary of the wetlands. In
order to make a positive wetland determination indicators of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soil, and
wetland hydrology must be identified as described in the manual.
January 19, 2002, Page 3
Threatt/Beaver Tract
Backeround
The site is within the headwaters of perennial tributaries of Flat Branch and Flat Branch of the Catawba
Basin (Water Classification - Q. The majority of the site is flat to slightly sloping. The current land-use
is undeveloped woodland areas and existing single family residential property. There are several drainage
channels and drainage patterns on the site that were constructed to facilitate drainage.
Description
Wetland Hvdrolosv and Hydric Soils
These riparian areas can be classified as Palustrine Forested Broad Leaved and Scrub Shrub (PFO 1 A,
PF01C, PSS1A). According to the North Carolina Resource Conservation Service, Technical Guide-
Section H-A-2, June 1991, Monacan (Mo) soils and Iredell (IrA) soils are listed as Map Units with
inclusions of Hydric Soils in Mecklenburg County. The streams on the site are intermittent and perennial.
Characteristics include persistent pools, small riffle and pool complexes (a "special aquatic site") in the
perennial streams, and rocky, gravelly, and sandy channel substrate. Vegetation in riparian and along
tributaries is dominated by Facultative Wet Vegetation.

PROPOSED MINIMIZA TION AND MITIGATION
The following Best Management Practices will be employed and strictly enforced to minimize impacts to
Jurisdictional Waters. These will include:
a) Siltation Barriers; Sediment Traps and Diversion Ditches
b) Barricades to define construction limits to sensitive sites and to protect trees
c) Methods to prevent short term impacts will be inspected regularly and maintained during
construction of the project.
d) Project construction will strictly adhere to an approved Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan.
Best Management Practices will include utilizing siltation trapping ponds and other erosion
control structures where appropriate. Impacts from hazardous materials and other toxins to fish
and aquatic life such as fuels will be avoided by not permitting staging areas to be located near

surface waters.
e) As required by the 401 Water Quality Certification conditions, measures will be taken to prevent
"live" or fresh concrete from coming into contact with waters until the concrete has hardened.
MITIGATION PLAN
Stormwater and Wetland Enhance Plan
The purpose of the mitigation plan is to enhance the development of wetlands in various forms, which are
saturated within the root zone or inundated for a significant portion of the growing season in the
floodplain of Flat Branch. The restored and/or created wetlands will provide water storage, bank
stabilization, pollutant removal, and aquatic resource values as described in the Fourth Version -
Guidance for Rating Values of Wetlands in North Carolina. The expected saturation and inundation will
lead to the development of Bottomland Hardwoods, Scrub/Shrub, Emergent, and Aquatic wetland zones.
It is expected that the wetlands created and or enhanced will meet or exceed the wetland areas filled by the
development of this project in the non-wetland floodplain as the result of the proposed measures and will
be conducted on approximately a 2:1 basis.
Stormwater runoff, overland flow, flooding, captured rainfall, and a seasonal high water table will support
the hydrology of these potential wetland areas. To allow a saturated soil development, Coir fiber (coconut)
logs will be used to help impound water and can be installed by hand. They will be lived staked to create a
more natural hummock. The density of the log can be modified, thereby holding or allowing varying
amounts of water to be impounded. These microtopographic features will create the various hydrological
zones.
Habitat Enhancement
Wetland zones adjacent to surface waters improve water quality by filtering runoff, trapping sediment,
absorbing nutrients, and provide wildlife habitat and a food source for aquatic organisms, amphibians,
birds and other wildlife. Currently the vegetation of the floodplain is dominated by exotic and introduced
non-native species such as Chinese Privet, Nepalese Cordgrass, Russian Olive, Japanese Rose, and
Japanese Honeysuckle. The creation and restoration of wetland habitats will gradually cause the existing
non-native vegetation to transition to native Obligate (OBL) and Facultative Wet (FACW) vegetation such
as Black Willow, Silky Dogwood, Green Ash, Oak species, Soft Rush, Jewelweed, Duck Potato, and Tear-
Thumb. Other vegetation which may volunteer include a diversity of saturation tolerant tree species which
are also high in wildlife value include buttonbush, arrowood, elderberry, and spicebush.
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
The impervious percentage for development is approximately 28%. The developed portion of the site is
approximately 38%. Based on a preliminary review of the site with Todd St. John of NCDWQ, the
develop is proposing to utilize a Level Spreader Design to filter runoff from the development in the large
undeveloped and flat floodplain. The design will be based on guidance provided in Draft Level Spreader
Design Options - Version 1.0. with Preformed Scour Holes as recommended by Todd St. John. The
guidance is an attachment to this report.

PROTECTION FROM FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
Remaining streams and wetlands will be protected in common open space. As required, deed notifications
or similar mechanisms will be placed on all lots with remaining jurisdictional wetlands and waters or
areas within 50 feet of al streams and ponds on the property.
COMPLIANCE WITH WETLAND REGULATIONS
In accordance with Title 15 NCAC 211.0500, the following DEED NOTIFICATION shall be recorded in

requirements of the state wetland rules adopted by the State of North Carolina in force at the time
of the proposed alteration. The intent of this provision is to prevent additional wetland fill, so the
property owner should not assume that a future application for fill would be approved. The
property owner shall report the name of the subdivision in any application pertaining to said
wetland rules. This covenant is intended to ensure continued compliance with wetland rules
adopted by the State of North Carolina and, therefore, benefits may be enforced by the State of

THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES
Federally listed plant and animal species with endangered or threatened status are protected under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973. The US Fish and Wildlife Service has identified Schweinitz's sunflower
and the Carolina heelsplitter. Schweinitz's sunflower thrives in full sun characteristic of succession fields,
margins, and forested openings. Based on a site reconnaissance, habitat conducive to support the
Schweinitz's sunflower does not appear to be present in the project area. The Carolina heelsplitter is a
freshwater mussel, which prefers shaded areas either, in a ponded portion of a small stream or in runs
along steep banks with moderate current. Primary habitat is waters less than three feet deep with a soft
mud, muddy sand, or shady gravelly substrate. It is normally restricted to protected silted areas or under
banks especially associated with obstructions such as stumps or fallen trees. The current distribution
according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is limited to portions of two streams - Goose Creek and
Waxhaw Creek -- and a small river originating from rural areas in Union County. Therefore it is not
expected to occur on this site.
CULTURAL RESOURCES
The project site is disturbed from previous agricultural activities. No structures were found on the site.
The State Historic Preservation Office may review of the USGS maps at the Office of State Archaeology
and the Survey and Planning Office of the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources to determine
if sites are indicated on the National Historic Register within the study area.
AQUATIC HABITAT
The aquatic systems in the project area consist of wetlands and streams in the Catawba Basin. A variety
of wildlife is supported by these systems including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects,
mollusks, and crustaceans. Therefore strict adherence to an approved erosion and sedimentation control
plan will be maintained during the construction period in order to control degradation of water quality
downstream and protect the areas to be preserved. Best Management Practices will include utilizing
siltation trapping ponds and other erosion control structures where appropriate. Impacts from hazardous
materials and other toxins to fish and aquatic life such as fuels will be avoided by not permitting staging
areas to be located near surface waters. Also, as required by the 401 Water Quality Certification
conditions, measures will be taken to prevent "live" or fresh concrete from coming into contact with
waters until the concrete has hardened. Aquatic resources are expected to be enhanced through the
restoration of wetland areas that flood and pond for longer durations.
CONCLUSION
Based on the value of the jurisdictional waters and wetlands on this site, the developer through sensitive
site planning has chosen to balance the site's economic viability with its environmental value and
permitability. The goal of the Site Plan and Mitigation Plan is to help balance the environmental
consequences of this development by protecting waters downstream of the project and to preserve and
enhance important wetland and stream habitats on the site.

Dear Bill:
A wetland and stream determination and delineation was conducted at the proposed project site. An area
is determined to be a wetland when it exhibits Hydric Soil, Hydrophytic Vegetation, and Wetland
Hydrology characteristics. These characteristics are required to be in accordance with the definitions in
the U.S. Army Corps Wetland Delineation Manual, 1987. Areas, which exhibit these three
characteristics, are identified as a wetland and permits may be required for development activities within
these areas. Surface waters such as perennial and intermittent creeks are also subject to Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act. Isolated wetlands are regulated by the North Carolina Department of Environment and
Natural Resources.
Wetland Survey
The delineation should now be surveyed. These areas are approximately indicated on the attached map,
however this map should not be used as an accurate representation of wetland and stream extents. A
survey would determine the actual extents more accurately and clarify the regulatory issues and potential
mitigation conditions, if necessary. The attached map is for illustrative purposes only. A survey is required
for the USACE to make a final jurisdictional determination on the property.
The flags used to define the wetlands are blue numbered sequentially as roughly depicted on the attached
map. A slash (n next to the number indicates a connection. All notes on the flags should be recorded. The
point numbers must appear on the survey in a clear and legible manner. The centerline of all streams must
be surveyed with approximate width of the stream identified. Once the preliminary survey is conducted it
will need to be reviewed by me to make sure that the connections are as intended. Additional site visits
and coordination with the surveyor may be required if areas need to be extended to meet the property lines
or for clarification. The map will need to be produced based on the following requirements. Areas that
may need further evaluation may require a revision to the survey, if required.
Metes and bounds tied to a property corner or other known point or listing of the northings and
eastings (NC Coordinate Grid).
2. Location of each point identified to be included on the map.
Property lines of the entire property or parcel. Mapped floodplains and contours should be
included on the map, if possible.
Mr. Bill Gartland
Wetland Survey, Page 2
4. Wetland boundaries should be closed into distinct polygons. Acreage should be indicated for each
polygon. It is helpful to have the polygons identified (i.e. Area "A", etc.). Surface waters such as
perennial and intermittent channels should also be identified calculated in acreage and linear
feet. The areas should then be listed in a table and totaled.
The map should have a vicinity map, north arrow, scale, project name property owner and/or
developer including name, address, telephone number, size of tract.
6. The surveyor must seal the survey.
Longitude and Latitude at the approximate center of the site must be shown.
The following note needs to be shown on the map for the USACE to sign:

Re: Preliminary Wetland/Stream Evaluation - Threatt-Vail Site. Mecklenburg County. NC
Dear Bill:
The proposed project site was visited at your request, to identify the presence of wetlands and surface
waters that would require permitting if they were impacted by development. An area is determined to be a
wetland when it exhibits Hydric Soil, Hydrophythic Vegetation, and Wetland Hydrology characteristics.
These characteristics are required to be in accordance with the definitions in the U.S. Army Corps Wetland
Delineation Manual, 1987. Areas that exhibit these three characteristics are identified as a wetland and
permits are required for development activities within these areas. Surface waters such as perennial and
intermittent creeks, and certain ponds are also subject to Section 404 and Section 401 of the Clean Water
Act. The approximate extent of the Waters of the U.S. are depicted on the map are based on an analysis of
site characteristics, topographic and soil maps, and an on-site review.
Stream and Wetland Hydrology, Hydric Soil, Hydrophytic Vegetation
The site is within drainage areas of tributaries to and of Flat Branch in the Catawba River Basin. The
current land-use is residential, former agricultural/disturbed land and woodland. The riparian areas can be
classified as Palustrine Broad Leaved, and Scrub Shrub (PF01A, PSS1A) in early to mid-succession. The
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) will confirm that the intermittent stream to perennial streams
have important aquatic value. Characteristics include evidence of persistent pools; amphibians and macro-
invertebrates; evidence of wildlife utilizing the stream; and rocky, gravelly, and sandy channel substrate.
The hydric soil indicators included gleyed and low cbroma conditions, and concretions. The site includes
Monacan and Iredell soils. These soils are map units, which may have inclusions of hydric soils according
to the Natural Resource Conservation Service, Technical Guide- Section II-A-2, June 1991.
Permitting Issues
A permit is not required for work on the property restricted entirely to existing high ground. If the impacts
require an application to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ), stormwater treatment
will be required as a condition of the permit for all commercial, institutional, industrial, and multi-family
developments. High-density single family developments may also be required to provide stormwater
treatment facilities - notably those over 30% impervious. If the entire project is over 30% you must
address the entire project. If the entire project is less than 30% but there are significant areas of
greater than 30% impervious then the NCDWQ may require that you address those areas. The
sedimentation and erosion control plan should include strong protection of the wetland areas on this site to
avoid violations of the general conditions of the Nationwide Permits.
Summary Commonly Used Nationwide Permits and Conditions
Nationwide Permit #39 (residential and commercial development) and Nationwide Permit #14 (road
crossings)
The maximum acreage limits of the Nationwide Permits (and their combination) is 1/2 acre. Most
of the new and modified NWP's require notification to the United States Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) for activities that result in the loss of greater than 1/10 acre of waters of the United
States. An application to the USACE is required for any stream or surface water impact using
Nationwide Permit #39. The maximum impact to important streams is 300 linear feet.
If impacts to streams are 1501f or more of important and/or unimportant streams, or 1/10th acre of
wetlands, an application is required to the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) using Nationwide Permit #39. An application is
required to the NCDWQ for any stream crossings utilizing Nationwide Permit #14, or for any
combinations of typically used permits. Use of typical bottomless culverts may not avoid the
regulatory process. Bridge like features however may be used to minimize impacts. Minimization
measures such as plan modifications may be required to reduce the impacts. With an application
to the NCDWQ, stormwater treatment facilities will be required by the NCDWQ as a condition of
the permit for all projects, including residential projects, notably those over 30% impervious.
Storm water detention may also be required.
Mitigation is generally required with impacts to important streams and wetlands when an
application is required. Stream mitigation can include relocation and/or restoring and approved
degraded streams. This generally included meanders, substrate, banks, buffers, and combinations.
Plans must be submitted for approval. If a permit is authorized - there is potential of participating
in the state Wetland Restoration Program (WRP) for wetland and stream restoration to meet
NCDWQ requirements and the USACE requirements. The fee is $24,500/acre times the ratio for
wetlands and $125/lf for streams. If the WRP is not available, if will be necessary to implement
stream mitigation. Stream buffers are typically required to protect the remaining streams on the
property as part of the mitigation requirement.
Permits must meet standard and general conditions, i.e. endangered species, historic properties,
and other particular conditions. Comments area possible with and application from USFWS,
SHPO (State Historic Preservation Office), North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission, and
other agencies.
Impacts made in a first phase may impact permitting on future phases if or when the thresholds are
exceeded. Therefore, and overall master plan including an evaluation of potential future
permitting requirements should be conducted. The USACE and the NCDWQ will evaluate a
project cumulatively. Typically, based on the Subdivision Rule in the regulations, the USACE will
evaluate the subdivision as one project. Each individual lot would not be a separate project.
If applicable, the NWP general conditions limit activities in designated critical resource waters and
fills in waters of the United States within 100-year floodplains. All above-grade fills under most
NWP's are prohibited within the FEMA mapped 100 year floodplain below the headwaters of any
stream. Within the headwaters, above-grade fill is prohibited within the FEMA mapped
regulatory floodway, and any above grade fill in the flood fringe must meet FEMA standards.
On a case by case base the USACE may authorize Waters of the U.S. (i.e. streams) to be used for
stormwater treatment facilities. However, perennial streams or existing wetlands cannot be used
for stormwater treatment facilities.
Individual Permits
Individual Permits are required for all activities in Waters of the U.S. that do not qualify for a Nationwide
Permit and are reviewed on a case by case basis by the USACE and other agencies, including NCDWQ,
USFWS, NCWRC, and SHPO. As with NWP's a 401 Water Quality Certification from NCDWQ is a
requirement. There is also a Public Notice. By a Memorandum of Agreement, the EPA and the USACE
requires a strict mitigation sequence (no practicable alternative [avoidance], minimization, and
compensatory mitigation be followed for all Individual Permits. It is generally understood that obtaining an
Individual Permit may be difficult. Establishing that there are no practicable alternatives is the most
important part and most difficult in the evaluation process. The USACE may ask for additional information
regarding their comments. It is generally understood that Individual Permits have no processing periods.
Individual Permit applications that are not withdrawn are eventually approved, however over 90% of the
applications are modified (some substantially) in the process or include additional avoidance, minimization,
and mitigation conditions.
Recommendations
A variety of planning and permitting options should also be studied to utilize the current Nationwide
Permits effectively. Avoidance and minimization of impacts to streams can reduce the regulatory process
significantly. This can be achieved by incorporating the streams and wetlands into the common open space
and limiting stream impacts to stream crossings. It is strongly recommended that the Individual Permit
process be avoided if possible, due to the complexity. However, individual permits have been issued for
projects in which an acceptable analysis of alternatives and a significant mitigation plan has been proposed.
However, it will be important to anticipate the potential for extensive analysis, the time frame, potential
response to the public notice, and a less predictable outcome of the process.
Please let me know if you have any questions or require fm*er explanation.
Thanks.

Draft Level Spreader Design Options Version 1.0 October 10, 2001
Using Level Spreaders to Provide Diffuse Flow Through Buffers for Compliance with Riparian Area Protection Rules
Level spreaders are one means of providing diffuse flow through protected buffers. It is always preferable to not
concentrate stormwater initially and provide as many outfalls as possible. This can reduce or even eliminate the need for
engineered devices to provide diffuse flow. However, this is not feasible in many cases. Some buffer protection rules such
as the Neuse, Catawba, and Tar-Pamlico Riparian Area Protection Rules do not allow direct discharges of stormwater
through the protected buffers. However, it is "allowable" with written approval from the DWQ to provide best management
practices (BMPs) that remove the nutrients or pollutants in question in order to discharge directly through the buffer.
These measures could include the use of the buffer itself as a forested filter strip, for instance, to remove the desired
substances. In addition to providing diffuse flow, level spreaders can be used to distribute flow into filter strips.
There are certain criteria that apply to every design that utilizes level spreaders to provide diffuse flow:
1) The entire system must safely pass a 10 year storm event without failing or causing erosion, gullies or rills.
2) The design of the level spreader must take into consideration site specific conditions such as topography, vegetative
cover, soil and other geologic conditions. If diffused flow is not attainable based on site conditions they should not be
used. (i.e. the slope of the natural ground away from or parallel to the level spreader should be relatively smooth in
the direction toward the stream so that the flow will not reconcentrate.)
3) Level spreaders should have a minimum length of ten feet and an absolute, maximum length of 300 feet.
4) It is always easier to keep flow distributed than to redistribute it after collection.
5) The type and amount of vegetative ground cover must also be considered.
6) Level spreaders must be level.
Level Spreader Design Options:
Conventional level spreader design option where entire discharge is passed through the level spreader with
no bypass conveyance for larger storms:
• For grass or thick ground cover vegetation:
i)13 feet of level spreader for every 1 cis flow (Based on Q10 discharge)
ii) maximum length of 300 feet per level spreader
iii) Slopes of 8% or less from level spreader to top of stream bank
• For forested areas with little or no ground cover vegetation:
i) 100 feet of level spreader for every 1 cfs flow (Based on Q10 discharge)
ii) maximum length of 300 feet per level spreader
iii) slopes of 6% or less from level spreader to top of stream bank
Another conventional level spreader design technique that can be used to accommodate steeper slopes where grading is
allowed or exempt in zone 2 of protected buffers is to provide level spreaders in series as follows:
• Can be used on slopes of up to 15% for forested areas and 25% for grass or thick ground cover
• Structural level spreader just outside of zone 2 followed by a grassed berm level spreader just outside of zone 1

Page 2 of 2
• Maximum Q10 discharge of 1 cfs per 100 feet of level spreader for forested areas and 1 cfs per 13 feet of level
spreader for grass or thick ground cover
In some instances, because of topography, the size and imperviousness of the drainage area, or other site constraints,
conventional level spreader designs are not appropriate. However, there are aftemative designs, like the ones listed
below, that would allow a level spreader to function properly by bypassing the larger discharge events. This is based on
the assumption used in designing most water quality BMPs that the "first flush" of stormwater discharge contains the
most substances of concern. These other alternatives are "allowable (require written approval from DWQ)" for protected
buffers in the Neuse, Tar-Pamlico and Catawba basins, but would not be allowable in protected buffers of the Randleman
watershed.
Level spreader with bypass for larger drainage areas that require 85% TSS removal or where lateral constraints limit the
level spreader length severely:
• Dry detention basin designed per NCDENR Stormwater BMP Manual* sized to detain 1" rain and release it over 2-5
days* through a level spreader.
• Level spreader length based on the maximum release rate discharge
• Discharges from greater than a 1" rain can be bypassed via an appropriate conveyance such as a grassed swale (rip
rap lined ditch or pipe may be used if necessary)
• Maximum discharge of 1 cfs per 100 feet of level spreader for forested areas and 1 cfs per 13 feet of level spreader
for grass or thick ground cover
*( in order to meet 85% TSS Removal criteria)
Another bypass alternative can be used that would not be considered to remove 85% TSS:
• Detention basin such as a type B silt basin preceding the level spreader
• Level spreader length based on the 1" per hour intensity storm
• A system designed to bypass the greater than 1" in per hour intensity storm through an appropriate conveyance such
as a grassed swale (rip rap lined ditch or pipe may be used if necessary)
• Maximum discharge of 1 cfs per 100 feet of level spreader for forested areas and 1 cfs per 13 feet of level spreader
for grass or thick ground cover
Yet another design that can be used in very specific areas with virtually flat slopes is a Preformed Scour Hole with a Level
Spreader Apron (typical detail attached):
• Discharge area must have virtually flat slopes such as those in flood plains or wetlands
• Must be located outside of zone 2
• B = 3 x discharge pipe size for pipes of either 15 or 18 inches B= base width (see detail)
• Maximum allowable discharge (Q10) of 6 cfs for a 15 inch pipe and 10 cis for an 18 inch pipe
• Minimum apron width of 4 feet.
Any of the above options will be considered acceptable if designed in accordance with the outlined criteria. Please keep in
mind that some of the above practices may still require written approval, for instance when a direct bypass discharge is
proposed through a protected buffer in the Neuse or Tar-Pamlico River Basin.

Re: Wetland Delineation Survey - Mattis Property
Dear David:
WETLANDS/ 401 GROUP
APP ? 700.3
WATER QUALITY SECTION
A wetland and stream determination and delineation was conducted at the proposed project site. An area
is determined to be a wetland when it exhibits Hydric Soil, Hydrophytic Vegetation, and Wetland
Hydrology characteristics. These characteristics are required to be in accordance with the definitions in
the U.S. Army Corps Wetland Delineation Manual, 1987. Areas which exhibit these three characteristics,
are identified as a wetland and permits may be required for development activities within these areas.
Surface waters such as perennial and intermittent creeks are also subject to Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act.
Wetland Survey
The delineation should now be surveyed. These areas are approximately indicated on the attached map,
however this map should not be used as an accurate representation of wetland and stream extents. A
survey would determine the actual extents more accurately and clarify the regulatory issues and potential
mitigation conditions, if necessary. The attached map is for illustrative purposes only. A survey is required
for the USACE to make a final jurisdictional determination on the property.
The flags used to define the wetlands are yellow and blue tied together numbered sequentially as roughly
depicted on the attached map. A slash (n next to the number indicates a connection. All notes on the flags
should be recorded. The point numbers must appear on the survey in a clear and legible manner. Once the
preliminary survey is conducted it will need to be reviewed by me to make sure that the connections are as
intended. Additional site visits and coordination with the surveyor may be required if areas need to be
extended to meet the property lines or for clarification. The centerline of all streams must be surveyed
with approximate width identified. The map will need to be produced based on the following
requirements. Areas that may need further evaluation may require a revision to the survey, if required.
Metes and bounds tied to a property corner or other known point or listing of the northings and
eastings (NC Coordinate Grid).
2. Location of each point identified to be included on the map.
Property lines of the entire property or parcel. Mapped floodplains and contours should be
included on the map, if possible.
Mr. David Cushing
Wetland Survey, Page 2
4. Wetland boundaries should be closed into distinct polygons. Acreage should be indicated for each
polygon. It is helpful to have the polygons identified (i.e. Area "A", etc.). Surface waters such as
perennial and intermittent channels should also be identified calculated in acreage and linear
feet. The areas should then be listed in a table and totaled.
5. The map should have a vicinity map, north arrow, scale, project name property owner and/or
developer including name, address, telephone number, size of tract.
6. The surveyor must seal the survey.
7. Longitude and Latitude at the approximate center of the site must be shown.
8. The following note needs to be shown on the map for the USACE to sign:
Wetland Certification
This certifies that this copy of this plat accurately depicts the boundary of jurisdiction of Section 404 of
the Clean Water Act as determined by the undersigned on this date. Unless there is a change in the law of
our published regulations this determination of Section 404 jurisdiction may be relied upon for a period
not to exceed five (5) years from this date. This determination was made utilizing the 1987 Corps of
Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual.
Name:
Title:
Date:
(signed by U. S. Army Corps of Engineers)
At least four sealed copies should forwarded to me for submittal to the USACE for their certification.
Please let me know if you have any questions or require further explanation.

The site encompasses approximately 8 acres of Iredell soil. The site is an L-shaped piece
with about 3 acres of flat woods and 5 acres of open lawn. A tributary of Flat Branch
flows west to east between the two different pieces of property. The site was surveyed
on July 5, 2002 for the possible presence of plant species or communities of concern.
The NC Natural Heritage Program list of species and communities of concern for the
Weddington USGS Quad was downloaded to provide the reference data.
The database shows the following four plant species of concern:
Aster georgianus Georgia aster
Helianthus schweinitzii Schweintiz's sunflower
Lotus helleri Carolina birdfoot-trefoil
Solidago rigida ssp. glabrata Southern bold goldenrod
The woods, field/woods ecotone and other borders were examined. The flat wood habitat
has been used as a woodland pasture and there is little herbaceous cover present. The
upland part of the woods is dominated by Willow oak (Quercus phellos) 16-18 in.
diameter breast height, Red cedar (Juniperus virginiana) 14 in. dhb., and Winged elm
(Ulmus alata) 9 in. dbh. One small section has been planted in Loblolly pine (Pinus
taeda) 4-5 in. dbh. The flood plain, along the tributary on the south side of the woods
has no Red cedar or Loblolly pine. The trees are larger here due to the increased
moisture. There is a Red maple (Acer rubrum) 38 in. dbh., Willow oak 24 in. dbh.,
Southern shagbark hickory (Carya carolinae-septentrionalis) 24 in. dbh, Green ash
(Fraxinus pennsylvanica) 22 in. dbh. Other smaller trees include Shumard's oak (Q.
shumardii) 11 in. dbh., American elm (U. americana) 9 in. dbh., Sugarberry (Celtis
laevigata) 9 in. dbh., and Sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) 5 in. dbh.
The larger five-acre site has been used as a home, now abandoned, and the lawn around
the house has been mowed. The northern and western borders have a tree line, which
was examined. The tree line is dominated by Sugarberry 14 in, dbh., Willow oak 13 in.
dbh., Red cedar 7 in. dbh., Black walnut (Juglans nigra) 5 in. dbh., Black cherry (Prunus

Comments:
Staff visited the site on April 23rd. The origjnal plan (Threatt/Beaver) was approved in March 2003.
Soon afterward a new tract (Mattis) became available. The Mattis tract was added as a modification to
the original plan. The Threatt/Beaver tract is bordered by Flat Branch Creek to the east and an
unnamed tributary to Flat Branch to the north. As you continue upstream on the tributary the trib
dissects the Mattis tract. See map in application.
Two stream crossing have been added: one provides access to both sides of the Mattis tract and the
other was omitted in error from the original plan, In addition, both crossings allow the development to
connect with existing _subdivisions bordering the site.
The owner has agreed to a 15 ft, buffer along the portion of the tributary that cuts through the Mattis
tract. The remaining segment of the tributary to Flat Branch will have a 25 ft. buffer. In addition, the
site is subject to Mecklenburg County's SWIM Buffer.

Comments (continued from page 1):
Th ere was confusion regarding the stormwater plan. The new tract became available and was
added before a stormwater plan was developed for the original site plan. The stormwater site plan for
the or iginal tract calls for the use of Level Spreaders (Design Version 1.0) that will ultimately
"disch arge" into the buffer area along Flat Branch Creek. A different desiaamay be a required for the
Mattis tract on the north side of the tributary. The applicant stated that the stormwater design is
forthc oming per condition #2 of the original 401 approval dated 3/14/03. Approval recommended.

APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Gartland:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place permanent fill in 0.47 acre of wetlands in order to
construct a residential subdivision on the Threatt Beaver tract in Mecklenburg County, as described in your application received by the
Division of Water Quality on January 22, 2003. 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 http://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:
1. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all lots with remaining jurisdictional wetlands and waters or areas within
50 feet of all streams and ponds on the property. These mechanisms shall be put in place within 30 days of the date of this letter or
the issuance of the 404 Permit (whichever is later). A sample deed notification format can be downloaded from the 401/Wetlands Unit
web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands ;
2. 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 diffuse flow
of all stormwater through existing buffers based on the Level Spreader Design Guidance at
http://h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/level.pdf. These facilities must be designed to treat the runoff from the entire project, unless
otherwise explicitly approved by the Division of Water Quality. 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 as
approved by this Office as 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;
3. You are required to return the attached Certification of Completion form to notify DWQ when all work included in the 401 Certification
has been completed.
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, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. 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 Mike Parker in our Mooresville Regional Office at 704-663-1699 or Cyndi Karoly in the Central Office in

occur. The stormwater management plan must include plans and specifications for
diffuse flow of all stormwater through existing buffers based on the Level Spreader
Design Guidance at http://h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/level.pdf . These facilities
must be designed to treat the runoff from the entire project, unless otherwise
explicitly approved by the Division of Water Quality. 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 as approved
by this Office as 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.

Rex - I just faxed a copy to your attention. There's also a copy of an e-mail
I'd sent to Mike/Samar/Alan explaining a triage glitch. The file had mistakenly
been stamped as issued, but the triagers meant it to go to MRO, so I'm not
surprised the application never got there. It's a Len Rindner project, the
impacts are below mitigation thresholds, and I don't think it'll be a big deal.
It was sent along for avoidance review and stormwater recommendations. If you
don't have time for anybody to get to it at this late date, we can just issue it
from here with conditions. Just let me know your preference.
Thanks.

Guys, this project was triaged last week, and you should have received
it in the mail by now. This file was stamped 11401 issued" but the 401
has NOT been issued. It was mistakenly placed in the issued pile, then
got the stamp, then was passed along to Bev. She noticed that the
triagers had actually intended it to go the the MRO.
Anyway, we've set the file in the To RO drawer. The triagers had meant
to send it along to request:
review of avoidance/minimization, especially the wetlands in the
floodplain
look for stormwater treatment opportunities onsite
This is a Len Rindner project, so the application should be pretty good.
We have until March 22 to get a response to the applicant, so hopefully
this delay from the triage glitch won't be a problem. If you haven't
gotten this file, please let me know and I'll fax you one.
Thanks as always for your patience and tolerance of our snafus.

Re: Threatt Beaver Tract - Approximately 40 acres, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina -
Nationwide Permit #39
Dear Sirs
On behalf of my client, Mr. Bill Gartland of Crosland Land Company, I am requesting authorization to
utilize Nationwide Permit #39 to impact + 0.47 acres of wetlands to develop the proposed single family
community. There are no proposed impacts to the 2500 linear feet of stream on the project site. As
depicted on the plan the remaining wetlands and streams will be protected within common open space. To
mitigate for the proposed wetland impacts areas of the floodplain including wetlands are proposed to be
enhanced. Stormwater will be filtered over the large buffer areas utilizing level spreading devices. There
are no direct discharges of stormwater to any creek. The following sections present the results of the
environmental planning and a description of the impacts with proposed minimization and mitigation
measures.
SUMMARY OF WATERS OF THE U.S
Methodology
Preliminary identification and delineation of the Jurisdictional Waters on the site were determined
according to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual, Technical Report Y-87-1, 1987, with
Appendices. Preliminary data gathering included review and interpretation of topographic maps; USDA
Soil Conservation Survey; aerial photographs, and preliminary site visits to selected areas. Then the
Routine On-Site Determination Method was utilized to determine the upper boundary of the wetlands. In
order to make a positive wetland determination indicators of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soil, and
wetland hydrology must be identified as described in the manual.
January 19, 2002, Page 3
ThreattBeaver Tract
Background
The site is within the headwaters of perennial tributaries of Flat Branch and Flat Branch of the Catawba
Basin (Water Classification - Q. The majority of the site is flat to slightly sloping. The current land-use
is undeveloped woodland areas and existing single family residential property. There are several drainage
channels and drainage patterns on the site that were constructed to facilitate drainage.
Description
Wetland Hydrology and H3 ddc Soils
These riparian areas can be classified as Palustrine Forested Broad Leaved and Scrub Shrub (PF01A,
PF01C, PSS1A). According to the North Carolina Resource Conservation Service, Technical Guide-
Section H-A-2, June 1991, Monacan (Mo) soils and Iredell (IrA) soils are listed as Map Units with
inclusions of Hydric Soils in Mecklenburg County. The streams on the site are intermittent and perennial.
Characteristics include persistent pools, small riffle and pool complexes (a "special aquatic site") in the
perennial streams, and rocky, gravelly, and sandy channel substrate. Vegetation in riparian and along
tributaries is dominated by Facultative Wet Vegetation.
Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. and North Carolina
1) Flat Branch (+ 13001f) ± 0.50 acres
2) Perennial Streams (+ 1,200 If) ± 0.16 acres
3) Wetlands ± 1.50 acres
Total ± 2.16 acres
Proposed impacts to Jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. and North Carolina
1) Flat Branch (+ 13001f) ± 0.00 acres
2) Perennial Streams (+ 1,200 lf) ± 0.00 acres
3) Wetlands + 0.47 acres
Total + 0.47 acres
PROPOSED MINIMIZA TION AND MITIGATION
The following Best Management Practices will be employed and strictly enforced to minimize impacts to
Jurisdictional Waters. These will include:
a) Siltation Barriers; Sediment Traps and Diversion Ditches
b) Barricades to define construction limits to sensitive sites and to protect trees
c) Methods to prevent short term impacts will be inspected regularly and maintained during
construction of the project.
d) Project construction will strictly adhere to an approved Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan.
Best Management Practices will include utilizing siltation trapping ponds and other erosion
control structures where appropriate. Impacts from hazardous materials and other toxins to fish
and aquatic life such as fuels will be avoided by not permitting staging areas to be located near
January 19, 2002, Page 4
Threatt/Beaver Tract
surface waters.
e) As required by the 401 Water Quality Cerlification conditions, measures will be taken to prevent
"live" or fresh concrete from coming into contact with waters until the concrete has hardened.
MITIGATION PLAN
Stormwater and Wetland Enhance Plan
The purpose of the mitigation plan is to enhance the development of wetlands in various forms, which are
saturated within the root zone or inundated for a significant portion of the growing season in the
floodplain of Flat Branch. The restored and/or created wetlands will provide water storage, bank
stabilization, pollutant removal, and aquatic resource values as described in the Fourth Version -
Guidance for Rating Values of Wetlands in North Carolina. The expected saturation and inundation will
lead to the development of Bottomland Hardwood:;, Scrub/Shrub, Emergent, and Aquatic wetland zones.
It is expected that the wetlands created and or enhanced will meet or exceed the wetland areas filled by the
development of this project in the non-wetland floxiplain as the result of the proposed measures and will
be conducted on approximately a 2:1 basis.
Stormwater runoff, overland flow, flooding, captured rainfall, and a seasonal high water table will support
the hydrology of these potential wetland areas. To allow a saturated soil development, Coir fiber (coconut)
logs will be used to help impound water and can W installed by hand. They will be lived staked to create a
more natural hummock. The density of the log ;an be modified, thereby holding or allowing varying
amounts of water to be impounded. These microtopographic features will create the various hydrological
zones.
Habitat Enhancement
Wetland zones adjacent to surface waters improve water quality by filtering runoff, trapping sediment,
absorbing nutrients, and provide wildlife habitat and a food source for aquatic organisms, amphibians,
birds and other wildlife. Currently the vegetation of the floodplain is dominated by exotic and introduced
non-native species such as Chinese Privet, Nepalese Cordgrass, Russian Olive, Japanese Rose, and
Japanese Honeysuckle. The creation and restoration of wetland habitats will gradually cause the existing
non-native vegetation to transition to native Obligate (OBL) and Facultative Wet (FACW) vegetation such
as Black Willow, Silky Dogwood, Green Ash, Oak species, Soft Rush, Jewelweed, Duck Potato, and Tear-
Thumb. Other vegetation which may volunteer include a diversity of saturation tolerant tree species which
are also high in wildlife value include buttonbush, arrowood, elderberry, and spicebush.
STORMWA TER MANAGEMENT PLAN
The impervious percentage for development is approximately 28%. The developed portion of the site is
approximately 38%. Based on a preliminary review of the site with Todd St. John of NCDWQ, the
develop is proposing to utilize a Level Spreader Design to filter runoff from the development in the large
undeveloped and flat floodplain. The design will be based on guidance provided in Draft Level Spreader
Design Options - Version 1.0. with Preformed Scour Holes as recommended by Todd St. John. The
guidance is an attachment to this report.

Threatt/Beaver Tract
THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES
Federally listed plant and animal species with endangered or threatened status are protected under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973. The US Fish and Wildlife Service has identified Schweinitz's sunflower
and the Carolina heelsplitter. Schweinitz's sunflower thrives in full sun characteristic of succession fields,
margins, and forested openings. Based on a site reconnaissance, habitat conducive to support the
Schweinitz's sunflower does not appear to be present in the project area. The Carolina heelsplitter is a
freshwater mussel, which prefers shaded areas either, in a ponded portion of a small stream or in runs
along steep banks with moderate current. Primary habitat is waters less than three feet deep with a soft
mud, muddy sand, or shady gravelly substrate. It is normally restricted to protected silted areas or under
banks especially associated with obstructions such as stumps or fallen trees. The current distribution
according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is limited to portions of two streams -- Goose Creek and
Waxhaw Creek -- and a small river originating from rural areas in Union County. Therefore it is not
expected to occur on this site.
CULTURAL RESOURCES
The project site is disturbed from previous agricultural activities. No structures were found on the site.
The State Historic Preservation Office may review of the USGS maps at the Office of State Archaeology
and the Survey and Planning Office of the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources to determine
if sites are indicated on the National Historic Register within the study area.
AQUATIC HABITAT
The aquatic systems in the project area consist of wetlands and streams in the Catawba Basin. A variety
of wildlife is supported by these systems including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects,
mollusks, and crustaceans. Therefore strict adherence to an approved erosion and sedimentation control
plan will be maintained during the construction period in order to control degradation of water quality
downstream and protect the areas to be preserved. Best Management Practices will include utilizing
siltation trapping ponds and other erosion control structures where appropriate. Impacts from hazardous
materials and other toxins to fish and aquatic life such as fuels will be avoided by not permitting staging
areas to be located near surface waters. Also, as required by the 401 Water Quality Certification
conditions, measures will be taken to prevent "live" or fresh concrete from coming into contact with
waters until the concrete has hardened. Aquatic resources are expected to be enhanced through the
restoration of wetland areas that flood and pond for longer durations.
CONCLUSION
Based on the value of the jurisdictional waters and wetlands on this site, the developer through sensitive
site planning has chosen to balance the site's economic viability with its environmental value and
permitability. The goal of the Site Plan and Mitigation Plan is to help balance the environmental
consequences of this development by protecting waters downstream of the project and to preserve and
enhance important wetland and stream habitats on the site.

MEMORANDUM
To: Bill Gartland
From: Len Rindner
Re; Stormwater Management Requirements for Threatt/Beaver Site. NC
Based on my experience 1 recommended a preliminary review with the NCDWQ to determine the
extent of stormwater management facilities that would be required, if an application to impact
streams or wetlands was required to the NCDWQ. We also reviewed the current NCDWQ
stormwater management policy regarding high-density single family developments. According to
NCDWQ, high density single family single family residential developments over 30% impervious
are required to provide stormwater treatment facilities. If the entire project is over 30% you must
address the entire project. If the entire project is less than 30% but there are significant areas of
greater than 30% impervious then the NCDWQ may require that you address those areas. My
recommendation was based on my understanding of the substantial risk to the developer in not
considering this case by case issue prior to significant financial investment and detailed planning
and engineering design. The current application threshold is only 1/10th acre of jurisdictional or
isolated wetlands and/or 150 linear feet of channel for this site.
Based on a discussion with Mr. Todd St. John of NCDWQ, if an application is required on this site
it is highly likely that a stormwater management will be required if the permit (401 Water Quality
Certification) is authorized. Although more complex facilities can be required, it was suggested
that level spreaders for this project would likely be an acceptable option. To potentially change the
condition of a 401 Water Quality Certification an adjudicatory hearing is required, which requires
a petition, which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of
Administrative Hearings.
Let me know if you have any questions. We should meet to go over the issues in more detail.

Draft Level Spreader Design Options Version 1.0 October 10, 2001
Using Level Spreaders to Provide Diffuse Flow Through Buffers for Compliance with Riparian Area Protection Rules
Level spreaders are one means of providing diffuse flow through protected buffers. It is always preferable to not
concentrate stormwater initially and provide as many outfalls as possible. This can reduce or even eliminate the need for
engineered devices to provide diffuse flow. However, this is not feasible in many cases. Some buffer protection rules such
as the Neuse, Catawba, and Tar-Pamlico Riparian Area Protection Rules do not allow direct discharges of stormwater
through the protected buffers. However, it is "allowable" with written approval from the DWQ to provide best management
practices (BMPs) that remove the nutrients or pollutants in question in order to discharge directly through the buffer.
These measures could include the use of the buffer itself as a forested filter strip, for instance, to remove the desired
substances. In addition to providing diffuse flow, level spreaders can be used to distribute flow into filter strips.
There are certain criteria that apply to every design that utilizes level spreaders to provide diffuse flow:
1) The entire system must safely pass a 10 year storm event without failing or causing erosion, gullies or rills.
2) The design of the level spreader must take into consideration site specific conditions such as topography, vegetative
cover, soil and other geologic conditions. If diffused flow is not attainable based on site conditions they should not be
used. (i.e. the slope of the natural ground away from or parallel to the level spreader should be relatively smooth in
the direction toward the stream so that the flow will not reconcentrate.)
3) Level spreaders should have a minimum length of ten feet and an absolute, maximum length of 300 feet.
4) It is always easier to keep flow distributed than to redistribute it after collection.
5) The type and amount of vegetative ground cover must also be considered.
6) Level spreaders must be level.
Level Spreader Design Options:
Conventional level spreader design option where entire discharge is passed through the level spreader with
no bypass conveyance for larger storms:
• For grass or thick ground cover vegetation:
i)13 feet of level spreader for every 1 cfs flow (Based on Q10 discharge)
ii) maximum length of 300 feet per level spreader
iii) Slopes of 8% or less from level spreader to top of stream bank
• For forested areas with little or no ground cover vegetation:
i) 100 feet of level spreader for every 1 cis flow (Based on Q10 discharge)
ii) maximum length of 300 feet per level spreader
iii) slopes of 6% or less from level spreader to top of stream bank
Another conventional level spreader design technique that can be used to accommodate steeper slopes where grading is
allowed or exempt in zone 2 of protected buffers is to provide level spreaders in series as follows:
• Can be used on slopes of up to 15% for forested areas and 25% for grass or thick ground cover
• Structural level spreader just outside of zone 2 followed by a grassed berm level spreader just outside of zone 1

Page 2 of 2
• Maximum Q10 discharge of 1 cfs per 100 feet of level spreader for forested areas and 1 cfs per 13 feet of level
spreader for grass or thick ground cover
In some instances, because of topography, the size and imperviousness of the drainage area, or other site constraints,
conventional level spreader designs are not appropriate. However, there are alternative designs, like the ones listed
below, that would allow a level spreader to function properly by bypassing the larger discharge events. This is based on
the assumption used in designing most water quality BMPs that the "first flush" of stormwater discharge contains the
most substances of concern. These other alternatives are "allowable (require written approval from DWQ)" for protected
buffers in the Neuse, Tar-Pamlico and Catawba basins, but would not be allowable in protected buffers of the Randleman
watershed.
Level spreader with bypass for larger drainage areas that require 85% TSS removal or where lateral constraints limit the
level spreader length severely:
• Dry detention basin designed per NCDENR Stormwater BMP Manual* sized to detain 1" rain and release it over 2-5
days* through a level spreader.
• Level spreader length based on the maximum release rate discharge
• Discharges from greater than a 1" rain can be bypassed via an appropriate conveyance such as a grassed swale (rip
rap lined ditch or pipe may be used if necessary)
• Maximum discharge of 1 cis per 100 feet of level spreader for forested areas and 1 cfs per 13 feet of level spreader
for grass or thick ground cover
*( in order to meet 85% TSS Removal criteria)
Another bypass alternative can be used that would not be considered to remove 85% TSS:
• Detention basin such as a type B silt basin preceding the level spreader
• Level spreader length based on the 1" per hour intensity storm
• A system designed to bypass the greater than 1" in per hour intensity storm through an appropriate conveyance such
as a grassed swale (rip rap lined ditch or pipe may be used if necessary)
• Maximum discharge of 1 cfs per 100 feet of level spreader for forested areas and 1 cfs per 13 feet of level spreader
for grass or thick ground cover
Yet another design that can be used in very specific areas with virtually flat slopes is a Preformed Scour Hole with a Level
Spreader Apron (typical detail attached):
• Discharge area must have virtually flat slopes such as those in flood plains or wetlands
• Must be located outside of zone 2
• B = 3 x discharge pipe size for pipes of either 15 or 18 inches B= base width (see detail)
• Maximum allowable discharge (Q10) of 6 cfs for a 15 inch pipe and 10 cis for an 18 inch pipe
• Minimum apron width of 4 feet.
Any of the above options will be considered acceptable if designed in accordance with the outlined criteria. Please keep in
mind that some of the above practices may still require written approval, for instance when a direct bypass discharge is
proposed through a protected buffer in the Neuse or Tar-Pamlico River Basin.

Dear Bill:
A wetland and stream determination and delineation was conducted at the proposed project site. An area
is determined to be a wetland when it exhibits Hydric Soil, Hydrophytic Vegetation, and Wetland
Hydrology characteristics. These characteristics are required to be in accordance with the definitions in
the U.S. Army Corps Wetland Delineation Manual, 1987. Areas, which exhibit these three
characteristics, are identified as a wetland and permits may be required for development activities within
these areas. Surface waters such as perennial and intermittent creeks are also subject to Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act. Isolated wetlands are regulated by the North Carolina Department of Environment and
Natural Resources.
Wetland Survey
The delineation should now be surveyed. These areas are approximately indicated on the attached map,
however this map should not be used as an accurate representation of wetland and stream extents. A
survey would determine the actual extents more accurately and clarify the regulatory issues and potential
mitigation conditions, if necessary. The attached map is for illustrative purposes only. A survey is required
for the USACE to make a final jurisdictional determination on the property.
The flags used to define the wetlands are blue numbered sequentially as roughly depicted on the attached
map. A slash (n next to the number indicates a connection. All notes on the flags should be recorded. The
point numbers must appear on the survey in a clear and legible manner. The centerline of all streams must
be surveyed with approximate width of the stream identified. Once the preliminary survey is conducted it
will need to be reviewed by me to make sure that the connections are as intended. Additional site visits
and coordination with the surveyor may be required if areas need to be extended to meet the property lines
or for clarification. The map will need to be produced based on the following requirements. Areas that
may need further evaluation may require a revision to the survey, if required.
Metes and bounds tied to a property corner or other known point or listing of the northings and
eastings (NC Coordinate Grid).
2. Location of each point identified to be included on the map.
3. Property lines of the entire property or parcel. Mapped floodplains and contours should be
included on the map, if possible.
Mr. Bill Gartland
Wetland Survey, Page 2
4. Wetland boundaries should be closed into distinct polygons. Acreage should be indicated for each
polygon. It is helpful to have the polygons identified (i.e. Area "A", etc.). Surface waters such as
perennial and intermittent channels should also be identified calculated in acreage and linear
feet. The areas should then be listed in a table and totaled.
5. The map should have a vicinity map, north arrow, scale, project name property owner and/or
developer including name, address, telephone number, size of tract.
6. The surveyor must seal the survey.
7. Longitude and Latitude at the approximate center of the site must be shown.
8. The following note needs to be shown on the map for the USACE to sign:
Wetland Certification
This certifies that this copy of this plat accurately depicts the boundary of jurisdiction of Section 404 of
the Clean Water Act as determined by the undersigned on this date. Unless there is a change in the law of
our published regulations this determination of Section 404 jurisdiction may be relied upon for a period
not to exceed five (5) years from this date. This determination was made utilizing the 1987 Corps of
Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual.

Re: Preliminarv Wetland/Stream Evaluation - Threatt-Vail Site, Mecklenburg County, NC
Dear Bill:
The proposed project site was visited at your request, to identify the presence of wetlands and surface
waters that would require permitting if they were impacted by development. An area is determined to be a
wetland when it exhibits Hydric Soil, Hydrophythic Vegetation, and Wetland Hydrology characteristics.
These characteristics are required to be in accordance with the definitions in the U.S. Army Corps Wetland
Delineation Manual, 1987. Areas that exhibit these three characteristics are identified as a wetland and
permits are required for development activities within these areas. Surface waters such as perennial and
intermittent creeks, and certain ponds are also subject to Section 404 and Section 401 of the Clean Water
Act. The approximate extent of the Waters of the U.S. are depicted on the map are based on an analysis of
site characteristics, topographic and soil maps, and an on-site review.
Stream and Wetland Hydrology, Hydric Soil, Hydrophytic Vegetation
The site is within drainage areas of tributaries to and of Flat Branch in the Catawba River Basin. The
current land-use is residential, former agricultural/disturbed land and woodland. The riparian areas can be
classified as Palustrine Broad Leaved, and Scrub Shrub (PFOIA, PSS1A) in early to mid-succession. The
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) will confirm that the intermittent stream to perennial streams
have important aquatic value. Characteristics include evidence of persistent pools; amphibians and macro-
invertebrates; evidence of wildlife utilizing the stream; and rocky, gravelly, and sandy channel substrate.
The hydric soil indicators included gleyed and low chroma conditions, and concretions. The site includes
Monacan and Iredell soils. These soils are map units, which may have inclusions of hydric soils according
to the Natural Resource Conservation Service, Technical Guide- Section II-A-2, June 1991.
Permitting Issues
A permit is not required for work on the property restricted entirely to existing high ground. If the impacts
require an application to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ), stormwater treatment
will be required as a condition of the permit for all commercial, institutional, industrial, and multi-family
developments. High-density single family developments may also be required to provide stormwater
treatment facilities - notably those over 30% impervious. If the entire project is over 30% you must
address the entire project. ff the entire project is less than 30% but there are significant areas of
greater than 30% impervious then the NCDWQ may require that you address those areas. The
sedimentation and erosion control plan should include strong protection of the wetland areas on this site to
avoid violations of the general conditions of the Nationwide Permits.
Summary Commonly Used Nationwide Permits and Conditions
Nationwide Permit #39 (residential and commercial development) and Nationwide Permit #14 (road
crossings
The maximum acreage limits of the Nationwide Permits (and their combination) is 1/2 acre. Most
of the new and modified NWT's require notification to the United States Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) for activities that result in the loss of greater than 1/10 acre of waters of the United
States. An application to the USACE is required for any stream or surface water impact using
Nationwide Permit 439. The maximum impact to important streams is 300 linear feet.
If impacts to streams are 150 if or more of important and/or unimportant streams, or 1/10th acre of
wetlands, an application is required to the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) using Nationwide Permit #39. An application is
required to the NCDWQ for any stream crossings utilizing Nationwide Permit #14, or for any
combinations of typically used permits. Use of typical bottomless culverts may not avoid the
regulatory process. Bridge like features however may be used to minimize impacts. Minimization
measures such as plan modifications may be required to reduce the impacts. With an application
to the NCDWQ, stormwater treatment facilities will be required by the NCDWQ as a condition of
the permit for all projects, including residential projects, notably those over 30% impervious.
Storm water detention may also be required.
Mitigation is generally required with impacts to important streams and wetlands when an
application is required. Stream mitigation can include relocation and/or restoring and approved
degraded streams. This generally included meanders, substrate, banks, buffers, and combinations.
Plans must be submitted for approval. If a permit is authorized - there is potential of participating
in the state Wetland Restoration Program (WRP) for wetland and stream restoration to meet
NCDWQ requirements and the USACE requirements. The fee is $24,500/acre times the ratio for
wetlands and $125/lf for streams. If the WRP is not available, if will be necessary to implement
stream mitigation. Stream buffers are typically required to protect the remaining streams on the
property as part of the mitigation requirement.
Permits must meet standard and general conditions, i.e. endangered species, historic properties,
and other particular conditions. Comments area possible with and application from USFWS,
SHPO (State Historic Preservation Office), North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission, and
other agencies.
Impacts made in a first phase may impact permitting on future phases if or when the thresholds are
exceeded. Therefore, and overall master plan including an evaluation of potential future
permitting requirements should be conducted. The USACE and the NCDWQ will evaluate a
project cumulatively. Typically, based on the Subdivision Rule in the regulations, the USACE will
evaluate the subdivision as one project. Each individual lot would not be a separate project.
If applicable, the NWP general conditions limit activities in designated critical resource waters and
fills in waters of the United States within 100-year floodplains. All above-grade fills under most
NWP's are prohibited within the FEMA mapped 100-year floodplain below the headwaters of any
stream. Within the headwaters, above-grade fill is prohibited within the FEMA mapped
regulatory floodway, and any above grade fill in the flood fringe must meet FEMA standards.
On a case by case base the USACE may authorize Waters of the U.S. (i.e. streams) to be used for
stormwater treatment facilities. However, perennial streams or existing wetlands cannot be used
for stormwater treatment facilities.
Individual Permits
Individual Permits are required for all activities in Waters of the U.S. that do not qualify for a Nationwide
Permit and are reviewed on a case by case basis by the USACE and other agencies, including NCDWQ,
USFWS, NCWRC, and SHPO. As with NWP's a 401 Water Quality Certification from NCDWQ is a
requirement. There is also a Public Notice. By a Memorandum of Agreement, the EPA and the USACE
requires a strict mitigation sequence (no practicable alternative [avoidance], minimization, and
compensatory mitigation be followed for all Individual Permits. It is generally understood that obtaining an
Individual Permit may be difficult. Establishing that there are no practicable alternatives is the most
important part and most difficult in the evaluation process. The USACE may ask for additional information
regarding their comments. It is generally understood that Individual Permits have no processing periods.
Individual Permit applications that are not withdrawn are eventually approved, however over 90% of the
applications are modified (some substantially) in the process or include additional avoidance, minimization,
and mitigation conditions.
Recommendations
A variety of planning and permitting options should also be studied to utilize the current Nationwide
Permits effectively. Avoidance and minimization of impacts to streams can reduce the regulatory process
significantly. This can be achieved by incorporating the streams and wetlands into the common open space
and limiting stream impacts to stream crossings. It is strongly recommended that the Individual Permit
process be avoided if possible, due to the complexity. However, individual permits have been issued for
projects in which an acceptable analysis of alternatives and a significant mitigation plan has been proposed.
However, it will be important to anticipate the potential for extensive analysis, the time frame, potential
response to the public notice, and a less predictable outcome of the process.
Please let me know if you have any questions or require father explanation.
Thanks.

Dear Mr. Niemann:
Threatt/Beaver Tract
DWQ Project No. 030060
Mecklenburg County
The Wetlands Unit staff reviewed the stormwater management plans received July 18, 2003 for the subject project and
determined that additional information is necessary to complete the technical review process. The required additional
information is as follows:
Level Spreader Design Guidance
Condition No. 2 of the 401 Water Quality Certification issued May 15, 2003 requires that diffuse flow of stormwater
be provided through the buffers according to the Level Spreader Design Guidance at
htti)://h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/level.pdf (also attached). The submitted design does not meet those criteria:
Preformed scour holes cannot be used at the outlets of properly designed stormwater discharge pipes that are
greater than 18 inches.
The minimum level spreader length will not be met.
The maximum level spreader length is 300 feet. As such, it may be necessary to separate the discharges.
The design of the level spreader (as opposed to the preformed scour holes) is not clear. It is recommended that you
review the bypass design options.
2. Operation and Maintenance Agreement
An operation and maintenance agreement is required. An example operation and maintenance plan can be found
at http://h2o.ohnr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/mitresto.html. The operation and maintenance agreement must also be
signed by the responsible party and notarized.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss this project, please contact me at [phone]. Also, plea:
that the NC DENR Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual as well as other documents and informatioi
downloaded from the Wetlands Unit web site at http://h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/mitresto.htmi.

Draft Level Spreader Design Options Version 1.0 October 10, 2001
Using Level Spreaders to Provide Diffuse Flow Through Buffers for Compliance with Riparian Area Protection Rules
Level spreaders are one means of providing diffuse flow through protected buffers. It is always preferable to not
concentrate stormwater initially and provide as many outfalls as possible. This can reduce or even eliminate the need for
engineered devices to provide diffuse flow. However, this is not feasible in many cases. Some buffer protection rules such
as the Neuse, Catawba, and Tar-Pamlico Riparian Area Protection Rules do not allow direct discharges of stormwater
through the protected buffers. However, it is allowable" with written approval from the DWQ to provide best management
practices (BMPs) that remove the nutrients or pollutants in question in order to discharge directly through the buffer.
These measures could include the use of the buffer itself as a forested filter strip, for instance, to remove the desired
substances. In addition to providing diffuse flow, level spreaders can be used to distribute flow into filter strips.
There are certain criteria that apply to every design that utilizes level spreaders to provide diffuse flow:
1) The entire system must safely pass a 10 year storm event without failing or causing erosion, gullies or rills.
2) The design of the level spreader must take into consideration site specific conditions such as topography, vegetative
cover, soil and other geologic conditions. If diffused flow is not attainable based on site conditions they should not be
used. (i.e. the slope of the natural ground away from or parallel to the level spreader should be relatively smooth in
the direction toward the stream so that the flow will not reconcentrate.)
3) Level spreaders should have a minimum length of ten feet and an absolute, maximum length of 300 feet.
4) It is always easier to keep flow distributed than to redistribute it after collection.
5) The type and amount of vegetative ground cover must also be considered.
6) Level spreaders must be level.
Level Spreader Design Options:
Conventional level spreader design option where entire discharge is passed through the level spreader with
no bypass conveyance for larger storms:
• For grass or thick ground cover vegetation:
i) 13 feet of level spreader for every 1 cfs flow (Based on Q10 discharge)
ii) maximum length of 300 feet per level spreader
iii) Slopes of 8% or less from level spreader to top of stream bank
For forested areas with little or no ground cover vegetation:
i) 100 feet of level spreader for every 1 cfs flow (Based on Q10 discharge)
ii) maximum length of 300 feet per level spreader
iii) slopes of 6% or less from level spreader to top of stream bank
Another conventional level spreader design technique that can be used to accommodate steeper slopes where grading is
allowed or exempt in zone 2 of protected buffers is to provide level spreaders in series as follows:
Can be used on slopes of up to 15% for forested areas and 25% for grass or thick ground cover
Structural level spreader just outside of zone 2 followed by a grassed berm level spreader just outside of zone 1

Page 2 of 2
Maximum Q10 discharge of 1 cfs per 100 feet of level spreader for forested areas and 1 cfs per 13 feet of level
spreader for grass or thick ground cover
In some instances, because of topography, the size and imperviousness of the drainage area, or other site constraints,
conventional level spreader designs are not appropriate. However, there are alternative designs, like the ones listed
below, that would allow a level spreader to function properly by bypassing the larger discharge events. This is based on
the assumption used in designing most water quality BMPs that the "first flush" of stormwater discharge contains the
most substances of concern. These other alternatives are "allowable (require written approval from DWQ)" for protected
buffers in the Neuse, Tar-Pamlico and Catawba basins, but would not be allowable in protected buffers of the Randleman
watershed.
Level spreader with bypass for larger drainage areas that require 85% TSS removal or where lateral constraints limit the
level spreader length severely:
• Dry detention basin designed per NCDENR Stormwater BMP Manual* sized to detain 1" rain and release it over 2-5
days* through a level spreader.
• Level spreader length based on the maximum release rate discharge
• Discharges from greater than a 1" rain can be bypassed via an appropriate conveyance such as a grassed swale (rip
rap lined ditch or pipe may be used if necessary)
• Maximum discharge of 1 cfs per 100 feet of level spreader for forested areas and 1 cfs per 13 feet of level spreader
for grass or thick ground cover
*( in order to meet 85% TSS Removal criteria)
Another bypass alternative can be used that would not be considered to remove 85% TSS:
• Detention basin such as a type B silt basin preceding the level spreader
• Level spreader length based on the 1" per hour intensity storm
• A system designed to bypass the greater than 1" in per hour intensity storm through an appropriate conveyance such
as a grassed swale (rip rap lined ditch or pipe may be used if necessary)
• Maximum discharge of 1 cfs per 100 feet of level spreader for forested areas and 1 cfs per 13 feet of level spreader
for grass or thick ground cover
Yet another design that can be used in very specific areas with virtually flat slopes is a Preformed Scour Hole with a Level
Spreader Apron (typical detail attached):
• Discharge area must have virtually flat slopes such as those in flood plains or wetlands
• Must be located outside of zone 2
• B = 3 x discharge pipe size for pipes of either 15 or 18 inches B= base width (see detail)
• Maximum allowable discharge (Q10) of 6 cfs for a 15 inch pipe and 10 cfs for an 18 inch pipe
• Minimum apron width of 4 feet.
Any of the above options will be considered acceptable if designed in accordance with the outlined criteria. Please keep in
mind that some of the above practices may still require written approval, for instance when a direct bypass discharge is
proposed through a protected buffer in the Neuse or Tar-Pamlico River Basin.

FINAL NOTICE OF ISSUANCE AND MODIFICATION OF NATIONWIDE PERMITS
FEDERAL REGISTER
AUTHORIZED MARCH 18, 2002
Residential, Commercial, and Institutional Developments. Discharges of dredged or fill
material into non-tidal waters of the United States, excluding non-tidal wetlands adjacent to tidal
waters, for the construction or expansion of residential, commercial, and institutional building
foundations and building pads and attendant features that are necessary for the use and
maintenance of the structures. Attendant features may include, but are not limited to, roads,
parking lots, garages, yards, utility lines, stormwater management facilities, and recreation
facilities such as playgrounds, playing fields, and golf courses (provided the golf course is an
integral part of the residential development). The construction of new ski areas or oil and gas
wells is not authorized by this nationwide permit.
Residential developments include multiple and single unit developments. Examples of
commercial developments include retail stores, industrial facilities, restaurants, business parks,
and shopping centers. Examples of institutional developments include schools, fire stations,
government office buildings, judicial buildings, public works buildings, libraries, hospitals, and
places of worship. The activities listed above are authorized, provided the activities meet all of
the following criteria:
A. Tiie discharge does no cause the lose cc areaze:- titan 2\ acre o non-tidal water: of the
United States, exciuding non-tidal wetlands adjacent to tidal waters;
E. The discharge does not cause the loss of greater than 300 linear feet of a stream bed, unless
for intermittent stream beds this criterion is waived in writing pursuant to a determination by the
District Engineer, as specified below, that the project complies with all terms and conditions of
this nationwide permit and that any adverse impacts of the project on the aquatic environment are
minimal. both individually and cumulatively;
C. The permittee must notify the District Engineer in accordance with General Condition 131, if
any of the following criteria are met:
1. The discharge causes the loss of greater than \1/10\ acre of non-tidal waters of the United
States, excluding non-tidal wetlands adjacent to tidal waters; or
2. The discharge causes the loss of any open waters, including perennial or intermittent
streams, below the ordinary high water mark (see Note, below), or
3. The discharge causes the loss of greater than 300 linear feet of intermittent stream bed.
In such case, to be authorized the District Engineer must determine that the activity complies
with the other terms and conditions of the nationwide permit, determine adverse environmental
effects are minimal both individually and cumulatively, and waive the limitation or, stream
impacts in writing before the permittee may proceed:
D. For discharges in special aquatic sites, including wetlands, the notification must include a
delineation of affected special aquatic sites;
E. The discharge is part of a single and complete project;
F. The permittee must avoid and minimize discharges into waters of the United States at the
project site to the maximum extent practicable. The notification, when required, must include a
written statement explaining how avoidance and minimization of losses of waters of the United
States were achieved on the project site. Compensatory mitigation will normally be required to
offset the losses of waters of the United States. (See General Condition 19.) The notification
must also include a compensatory mitigation proposal for offsetting unavoidable losses of waters
of the United States. If an applicant asserts that the adverse effects of the project are minimal
without mitigation, then the applicant may submit justification explaining why compensatory
mitigation should not be required for the District Engineer's consideration;
G. When this nationwide permit is used in conjunction with any other nationwide permit, any
combined total permanent loss of waters of the United States exceeding \1/10\ acre requires-that
the permittee notify the District Engineer in accordance with General Condition 13;
.H. Any work authorized by this nationwide permit must not cause more than minimal
degradation of water quality or more than minimal changes to the flow characteristics of any
stream (see General Conditions 9 and 21),
L For discharges causing the loss of \l/10\ acre or less ofwaters of the United States, the
permittee must submit a report, within 30 days of completion of the work, to the, District
Engineer that contains the following information: (1) The name, address, and telephone number
of the permittee; (2) The location of the work; (3) A description of the work; (4) The type and
acreage of the loss of waters of the United States (e.g., \1/2\ acre of emergent wetlands); and (5)
The type and acreage of any compensatory mitigation used to offset the loss of waters of the
United States (e.g., \1/2\ acre of emergent wetlands created on-site);
J. If there are any open waters or streams within the project area, the permittee will establish
and maintain, to the maximum extent practicable, wetland or upland vegetated buffers next to
those open waters or streams consistent with General Condition 19. Deed restrictions,
conservation easements, protective covenants, or other means of land conservation and
preservation are required to protect and maintain the vegetated buffers established on the project
site.
Only residential, commercial, and institutional activities with structures on the foundation(s)
or building pad(s), as well as the attendant features, are authorized by this nationwide permit.
The compensatory mitigation proposal required in paragraph (f) of this nationwide permit may be
either conceptual or detailed. The wetland or upland vegetated buffer required in paragraph 0) of
this nationwide permit will determined on a case-by-case basis by the District Engineer for
addressing water quality concerns. The required wetland or upland vegetated buffer is part of the

overall compensatory mitigation requirement for this nationwide permit. If the project site was
previously used for agricultural purposes and the farm owner/operator used Nationwide Permit
40 to authorize activities in waters of the United States to increase production or construct farm
buildings, Nationwide Permit 39 cannot be used by the developer to authorize additional
activities in waters of the United States on the project site in excess ofthe acreage limit for
Nationwide Permit 39 (i.e., the combined acreage loss authorized under Nationwide Permits 39
and 40 cannot exceed \1/2\ acre).
Subdivisions: For residential subdivisions, the aggregate total loss of waters of Unites States
authorized by Nationwide Permit 39 cannot exceed\1/2\ acre. This includes any loss of waters
associated with development of individual subdivision lots. (Sections 10 and 404)
Note: Areas where wetland vegetation is not present should be determined by the presence or
absence of an ordinary high water mark or bed and bank. Areas that are waters of the United
States based-on this criterion would require a Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) although
water is infrequently present in the stream channel (except for ephemeral waters, which do not
require PCNs under paragraph (c)(s), above: however, activities that result in the loss of greater
than\1/10\ acre of ephemeral waters would require PCNs under paragraph (c)(1), above) are
determined by the presence or absence of an ordinary high water mark or bed and bank. Areas
that-are waters of the United States based on this criteria would require a PCN even though water
is infrequently present in the stream channel (except for ephemeral waters).
NATIONWIDE PERWET GENERAL CONDITIONS
The following Teneral Conditions must be followed in order fo:- any authorization ny a
NV7P to be valid:
1. Navigation. No activity may cause more than a minimal adverse effect on navigation.
2. Proper Maintenance. Any structure or fill authorized shall be properly maintained,
including maintenance to ensure public safety.
3. Soil Erosion and Sediment Controls. Appropriate soil erosion and sediment controls
must be used and maintained in effective operating condition during construction, and all
exposed soil and other fills, as well as any work below the ordinary high water marl. or high tide
line, must be permanently stabilized at the earliest practicable date. Permittees are encouraged to
perform work within waters of the United States during periods of low-flow or no-flow.
4. Aquatic Life Movements. No activity may substantially disrupt the necessary life-cycle
movements of those species of aquatic life indigenous to the waterbody, including those species
that normally migrate through the area, unless the activity's primary purpose is to impound water.
Culverts placed in streams must be installed to maintain low flow conditions.
5. Equipment. Hea«7 equipment working iii wetlands must be placed on mats, or other
measures must be taken to minimize soil disturbance.
6. Regional and Case-By-Case Conditions. The activity must comply with any regional
conditions that may have been added by the Division Engineer (see 33 CFR 330.4(e)) and with
any case specific conditions added by the Corps or by the state or tribe hl its Section 401 Water
Quality Certification and Coastal Zone Management Act consistency determination.
7. Wild and Scenic Rivers. No activity may occur in a component of the National Wild and
Scenic River System; or in a river officially designated by Congress as a'study river" for possible
inclusion in the system, while the river is in an official study status; unless the appropriate
Federal agency, with direct management responsibility for such river, has determined in writing
that the proposed activity will not adversely affect the Wild and Scenic River designation, or
study status. Information on Wild and Scenic Rivers may be obtained from the appropriate
Federal land management agency in the area (e.g., National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service,
Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service).
8. Tribal Rights. No activity or its operation may impair reserved tribal rights, including,
but not limited to, reserved water rights and treaty fishing and hunting rights.
9. Water Quality.
a. In certain states and tribal lands an individual 401 Water Quality Certification must be
obtained or waived (See 33 CFR 330.4(c)).
b. For NWPs 12, 14, 17, 18, 32, 39, 40. 42, 43, and 44, where the state or tribal 401
certification (either generically or individually) does not require or approve water qualit37
management measures, the pemzittee must provide water quality management measures that wil_
ensure that the authorized work does not result in more. Man minima: degradation of water
quality (or the Corps determines that compliance with state or local standards, where applicable,
will ensure no more than minimal adverse effect on water quality). An important component of
water quality management includes stormwater management that minimizes degradation of the
downstream aquatic system, including water quality (refer to General Condition 21 for
stormwater management requirements). Another important component of water quality
management is the establishment and maintenance of vegetated buffers next to open waters,
including streams (refer to General Condition 19 for vegetated buffer requirements for the
T\TWPs).
This condition is only applicable to projects that have the potential to affect water quality.
While appropriate measures must be taken, in most cases it is not necessary to conduct detailed
studies to identify such measures or to require monitoring.
1.0. Coastal Zone Management. In certain states, an individual state coastal zone
management consistency concurrence must be obtained or waived (see 33 CFR 330.4(d)).
11. Endangered Species
a. No activity is authorized under any NWP which is likely to j eopardize the continued
existence of a threatened or endangered species or a species proposed for such designation, as
identified under the Federal Endangered Species Act (ESA), or which will destroy or adversely

modify the critical habitat of such species. Non-federal permittees shall notify the District
Engineer if any listed species or designated critical habitat might be affected or is in the vicinity
of the project: or is located in the designated critical habitat and shall not begin work on the
activity until notified by the District Engineer that the requirements of the ESA have been
satisfied and that the activity is authorized. For activities that may affect Federally-listed
endangered or threatened species or designated critical habitat, the notification must include the
name(s) of the endangered or threatened species that may be affected by the proposed work or
that utilize the designated critical habitat that may be affected by the proposed work. As a result
of formal or informal consultation with the FWS or NMFS the District Engineer may add
species-specific regional endangered species conditions to the NWPs.
b. Authorization of an activity by a NWP does not authorize the "take" of a threatened
or endangered species as defined under the ESA. In the absence of separate authorization (e.g., an
ESA Section 10 Permit, a Biological Opinion with "incidental take" provisions, etc.) from the
USFWS or the NMFS, both lethal and non-lethal "takes" of protected species are in violation of
the ESA. Information on the location of threatened and endangered species and their critical
habitat can be obtained directly from the offices of the USFWS and NMFS or their World Wide
Web pages at http://www.fws.gov/r9endspp/endspp.html and http://www.nfms.noaa.gov/prot
res/overview/es.html respectively.
12. Historic Properties. No activity that may affect historic properties listed, or eligible for
listing, in the National Register of Historic Places is authorized, until the District Engineer has
complied with the provisions of 33 CFR part 325. Appendix C. The prospective permittee must
notify the District Engineer if the authorized aciiviry ma affect any- historic properties listed,
determined to be eligible, or whirr the prospective permit= has reason to believe may be
eiigibi° for listing on the Nationa:' Reriste: of Historic Places, and shall not begin tnt acin-i. -
until notified by the District Enginee~ that the requirements of the National Historic Preservation
Act have been satisfied and that the activity is authorized. Information on the location and
existence of historic resources can be obtained from the State Historic Preservation Office and
the National Register of Historic Places (see 33 CFR 330.4(g)). For activities that may affect
historic properties listed in, or eligible for listing in, the National Register of Historic Places, the
notification must state which historic property may be affected by the proposed work or include a
vicinity map indicating the location of the historic property.
13. Notification.
a. Timing; where required by the terms of the NV/`P, the prospective permittee must
notify the District Engineer with a preconstruction notification (PCN) as early as possible. The
District Engineer must determine if the notification is complete within 30 days of the date of
recent and can request additional information necessary to make the PCN complete only once.
However, if the prospective permittee does not provide all of the requested information, then the
District Engineer will notify the prospective permittee that the notification is still incomplete and
the PCN review process will not continence until all of the requested information has been
received by the District Engineer. The prospective permittee shall not begin the activity:
1. Until notified in writing by the District Engineer that the activity may proceed
under the NVJP with any special conditions imposed by the District or Division Engineer; or
5

environmental effects are minimal both individually and cumulatively, and waive the limitation
on stream impacts in writing before the permittee may proceed;

14. For NWP 40 (Agricultural Activities), the PCN must include a compensatory
mitigation proposal to offset losses of waters of the US. This NWP does not authorize the
relocation of greater than 300 linear feet of existing serviceable drainage ditches constructed in
non-tidal streams unless, for drainage ditches constructed in intermittent nontidal streams, the
District Engineer waives this criterion in writing, and the District Engineer has determined that
the project complies with all terms and conditions of this NVTP, and that any adverse impacts of
the project on the aquatic environment are minimal, both individually and cumulatively;
15. For NWT 43 (Stormwater Management Facilities), the PCN must include, for

c. Form of Notification: The standard individual Permit application form (Form ENG
4345) may be used as the notification but must clearly indicate that it is a PCN and must include
all of the information required in (b) (!)-(IS) of General Condition 13. A letter containing the
requisite information may also be used.
d. District Engineer's Decision: In reviewing the PCN for the proposed activity, the
District. Engineer will determine whether the activity authorized by the NVjP will result in more
than minimal individual or cumulative adverse environmental effects or may be contrary to the
public interest. The prospective permittee may submit a proposed mitigation plan with the PCN
to expedite the process. The District Engineer will consider any proposed compensatory
mitigation the applicant has included in the proposal in determining whether the net adverse
environmental effects to the aquatic environInentof the proposed work are minimal. I the
District Engineer determines that the activity complies with the terms and conditions.of the. NWT
and that the adverse effects on the aquatic environment are minimal, after considering mitigation.
the District Engineer will notify the permittee and include any conditions the District Engineer
deems necessary. The District Engineer must approve any compensatory mitigation proposal
before the permittee commences work. If the prospective permittee is required to submit a
compensatory mitigation proposal with the PCN, the proposal may be either conceptual or
detailed. If the prospective permittee elects to submit a compensatory mitigation plan with the
PCN, the District Engineer will expeditiously review the proposed compensatory mitigation plan.
The District Engineer must review the plan within 45 days of receiving a complete PCN and
determine whether the conceptual or specific proposed mitigation would ensure no more than
minimal adverse effects on the aquatic environment. If the net adverse effects of the proj ect on
the aquatic environment (after consideration of the compensatory mitigation proposal) are
determined by the District Engineer to be minimal, the District Engineer will provide a timely
written response to the applicant. The response will state that the project can proceed under the
terms and conditions of the NWT.
If the District Engineer determines that the adverse effects of the proposed work are more
than minimal, then the District Engineer will notify the applicant either:
1. That the project does not qualify for authorization under the NWP and instruct
the applicant on the procedures to seek authorization under an Individual Permit;
2. that the project is authorized under the NTWP subject to the applicant's submission
of a mitigation proposal that would reduce the adverse effects on the aquatic environment to the
minimal level; or
3. that the project is authorized under the NTVITP with specific modifications or
conditions. Where the District 'ngineer determines that mitigation is required to ensure no more.
than minimal adverse effects occur to the aquatic environment, the activity will be authorized
within the 45-day PCN period. The authorization will include the necessary conceptual or
specific mitigation or a requirement that the applicant submit a mitigation proposal that would
reduce the adverse effects on the aquatic environment to the minimal level. When conceptual
mitigation is included, or a mitigation plan is required under item (2) above, no work in waters of
the US will occur until the District Engineer has approved a specific mitigation plan.
e. Agency Coordination: The District Engineer- will consider any comment: from
Federal and state agencies concerning the proposed activity's compliance with the terms and
conditions of the NIX Ps and the need for mitigation to reduce the project's adverse enviroimlental
effects to a minimal level.
For activities requiring notification to the District Engineer that result in the loss of greater
than \1/2\-acre of waters of the US, the District Engineer will provide immediately (e.g., via
facsimile transmission, overnight mail, or other expeditious manner) a copy to the appropriate
Federal or state offices (-tJSFWS, state natural resource or water quality agency, EPA; State
Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), and, if appropriate, the NMFS). With the exception of
NWP 37, these agencies will then have 10 calendar days from the date the material is transmitted
fo telephone or fax the- District Engineer notice that they intend to provide substantive,
site-specific comments. If so contacted by an agency, the District Engineer will wait an
additional 15 calendar days before malting a decision on the notification. The District Engineer
willfully consider agency comments received within the specified time frame, but will provide
no response to the resource agency, except as provided below. The District Engineer will indicate
in the administrative record associated with each notification that the resource agencies' concerns
were considered. As required by section 305(b)(4)(B) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act, the District Engineer will provide a response to NMFS
within 30 days of receipt of any Essential Fish Habitat conservation recommendations.
Applicants are encouraged to provide the Corps multiple copies of notifications to expedite
agency notification.
f. Wetland Delineations: Wetland delineations must be prepared in accordance with the
current method required by the Corps (For NWP 29 see paragraph (b)(9)(iii) for parcels less than
01/4\-acre in size). The permittee may ask the Corps to delineate the special aquatic site. There
may be some delay if the Corps does the delineation. Furthermore, the 45-day period will not
start until the wetland delineation has been completed and submitted to the Corps, where
appropriate.
14. Compliance Certification. Every permittee who has received NWP verification from the
Corps will submit a signed certification regarding the completed work and any required
mitigation. The certification will be forwarded by the Corps with the authorization letter and will
include:
a. A statement that the authorized work was done in accordance with the Corps
authorization, including any general or specific conditions;
b. A statement that any required mitigation was completed! in accordance with the
permit conditions; and
c. The signature of the permittee certifying the completion of th:. work and mitigation.
15. Use of Multiple Nationwide. Permits. The use of more than one NWP for a single and
complete project is prohibited, except when the acreage loss of waters of the US authorized by
the NWPs does not exceed the acreage limit of the NWT with the highest specified acreage limit
(e.g. if a road crossing over tidal waters is constructed under NWP 14, with associated bank
stabilization authorized by --N-WP 13, the maximum acreage loss of waters of the US for the total
project cannot exceed \ 1/3\-acre) .
16. Water Supply hitakes. No activity, including structures and work in navigable waters of
the US or discharges of dredged or fill material, may occur in the proximity of a public water
supply intake except where the activity is for repair of the public water supply intake structures
or adjacent bank stabilization.
17. Shellfish Beds. No activity, including 'structures and work in navigable waters of the US
or discharges of dredged or fill material, may occur in areas of concentrated shellfish
populations, unless the activity is directly related to a shellfish harvesting activity authorized by
NVATP 4.
10
18, Suitable Material. No activity. including structures and work in navigable waters of the
LJS or discharges of dredged or fill material, may consist of unsuitable material (e.g.. trash,
debris, car bodies. asphalt, etc.) and material used for construction or discharged must be free
from toxic pollutants in toxic amounts (see section 307 of the CWA).
19. Mitigation. The District Engineer will consider the factors discussed below when
determining the acceptability of appropriate and practicable mitigation necessary- to offset
adverse effects on the aquatic environment that are more than minimal.
a. The project must be designed and constructed to avoid and minimize adverse effects
to waters of the US to the maximum extent practicable at the project site (i.e., on site).
b. Mitigation in all its forms (avoiding, minimizing, rectifying, reducing or
compensating) will be required to the extent necessary to ensure that the adverse effects to the
aquatic environment are minimal.
c. Compensatory mitigation at a minimum one-for-one ratio will be required for all
wetland impacts requiring a PCN, unless the District Engineer determines in writing that some
other form of mitigation would be more environmentally appropriate and provides a
project-specific waiver of this requirement. Consistent with National policy, the District Engineer
will establish a preference for restoration of wetlands as compensatory mitigation, with
preservation used only in exceptional circumstances.
d. Compensatory mitigation (i.e.. replacement or substitution o= aquatic resources for
those impacted) will not be used to increase the acreage losses allowed by the acreage limits of
some of the N)WPs. For example. \i /4`,-acre of wetlands cannot be created to change ,acre
loss of wetlands to a \1/2\-acre loss associated with NWP 39 verification. However. \r'?1-acre of
created wetlands can be used to reduce the impacts of a \1/2\-acre loss of wetlands to the
minimum impact level in order to meet the minimal impact requirement associated with NV7Ps.
e. To be practicable, the mitigation must be available and capable of being done
considering costs, existing technology, and logistics in light of the overall project purposes.
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 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, preferably in
the same watershed.
f. Compensatory mitigation plans for projects in or near streams or other open waters
will normally include a requirement for the establishment, maintenance, and legal protection
(e.g.,-.easements,--deed restrictions) of vegetated buffers to open waters. In many cases, vegetated
buffers will be the only compensatory mitigation required. Vegetated buffers should consist of
native species. The width of the vegetated buffers required will address documented water
quality or aquatic habitat loss concerns. Normally, the vegetated buffer will be 25 to 50 feet wide
on each side of the stream. but the District Engineers may require slightly wider vegetated buffers
to address documented water quality or habitat loss concerns. Where both wetlands and open
waters exist on the project site, the Corps will determine the appropriate compensator, mitigation
(e.g., stream buffers or wetlands compensation) based on what is best for the aquatic

environment or, a watershed basis. In cases where vegetated buffers are determined to be the
most appropriate form of compensatory mitigation, the District Engineer may waive or reduce
the requirement to provide wetland compensatory mitigation for wetland impacts.
g. Compensatory mitigation proposals submitted with the " notification' may be either
conceptual or detailed. If conceptual plans are approved under the verification, then the Corps
will condition the verification to require detailed plans be submitted and approved by the Corps
prior to construction of the authorized activity in waters of the US.
h. Permittees may propose the use of mitigation banks, in-lieu fee arrangements or
separate activity-specific compensatory mitigation. In all cases that require compensatory
mitigation, the mitigation provisions will specify the parry responsible for accomplishing and/or
complying with the mitigation plan.
20. Spawning Areas. Activities, including structures and work in navigable waters of the
US or discharges of dredged or fill material, in spawning areas during spawning seasons must be
avoided to the maximum extent practicable. Activities that result in the physical destruction (e.g.,
excavate, fill, or smother downstream by substantial turbidity) of an important spawning area are
not authorized.
21. Management of Water Flows. To the maximum extent practicable, the activity must be
designed to maintain preconstruction downstream flow conditions (e.g., location, capacity, and
flow rates). Furthermore, the activity must not permanently restrict or impede the passage of
normal or expected high flows (unless the primary- purpose of the fill is to impound waters) and
the structure or discharge of dredged or fill material must withstand expected high fl ows. The
activity must, to the maximum extent practicable. provide, for retaining excess flows from the
site, provide for maintaining surface flow rates from the site similar to preconstruction
conditions, and provide for not increasing water flows.from the project site, relocating water, or
redirecting water flow beyond preconstruction conditions. Stream channelizing will be reduced to
the minimal amount necessary, and the activity must, to the maximum extent practicable, reduce
adverse effects such as flooding or erosion downstream and upstream of the project site, unless
the activity is part of a larger system designed to manage water flows. In most cases, it will not
be a requirement to conduct detailed studies and monitoring of water flow.
This condition is only applicable to projects that have the potential to affect waterflows.
While appropriate measures must be taken, it is not necessary to conduct detailed studies to
identify such measures or require monitoring to ensure their effectiveness. Normally, the Corps
will defer to state and local authorities regarding management of water flow.
22. _Adverse_ Effects From Impoundments. If the activity creates an impoundment of water,
adverse effects to the aquatic system due to the acceleration of the passage of water, and/or the
restricting its flow shall be minimized to the maximum extent practicable. This includes
structures and work in navigable waters of the US, or discharges of dredged or fill material.
23. Waterfowl Breeding Areas. Activities, including structures and work in naviga e
waters of the US or discharges of dredged or fill material, into breeding areas for migratory
waterfowl must be avoided to the maximum extent practicable.
12.
24. Removal of Temporary Fills. Any temporary fills must be removed in their entirety and
the affected areas returned to their preexisting elevation.
25. Designated Critical Resource Waters. Critical resource waters include,
NOAA-designated marine sanctuaries, National Estuarine Research Reserves, National Wild and
Scenic Rivers, critical habitat for Federally listed threatened and endangered species, coral reefs,
state natural heritage sites, and outstanding national resource waters or other waters officially
designated by a state as having particular environmental or ecological significance and identified
by the District Engineer after notice and opportunity for public conuuent. The District Engineer
may also designate additional critical resource waters after notice and opportunity for comment.
a. Except as noted below, discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the US
are not authorized by NWPs 7. 12, 14, 16, 17, 21, 29, 31, 35, 39, 40, 42, 43, and 44 for any
activity within, or directly affecting, critical resource waters, including wetlands adjacent to such
waters. Discharges of dredged or fill materials into waters of the US may be authorized by the
above NWPs in National Wild and Scenic Rivers if the activity complies with General Condition
7. Further, such discharges may be authorized in designated critical habitat for Federally listed
threatened or endangered species if the activity complies with General Condition 11 and the
USFWS or the NMFS has concurred in a determination of compliance with this condition.
b. For NV,/Ts 3, 8, 10, 13, 15, 18, 19, 22, 23, 25, 27, 28, 30, 33, 34, 36, 37, and 38,
notification is required in accordance with General Condition 13, for any activity proposed in the
designated critical resource waters including wetlands adjacent to those waters. The District
Engineer may authorize acu vies ur cae tiiesc N vvr ; only a ue_, rc is deternninea trWL the impacts
to the critical resource: waters will be no more than minimal.
26. Fills Within 100- _ear Floodplains. For purposes of this General Condition, 100-year
floodplains will be identified through the existing Federal Emergency Management Agency's
(FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Maps or FEMA-approved local floodplain maps.
a. Discharges in Floodplain,- Below Headwaters. Discharges of dredged or fill material
into waters of the US within the mapped 100year floodplain, below headwaters (i.e. five efs),
resulting in permanent above-grade fills, are not authorized by NWPs 39, 40, 42, 43, and 44.
b. Discharges in Floodway; Above Headwaters. Discharges of dredged or fill material
into waters of the US within the FEMA or locally mapped Foodway, resulting in permanent
above-grade fills, are not authorized by NWPs 39, 40, 42, and 44.
c. The permittee must comply with any applicable FEMA-approved state or local
floodplain management requirements.
27. Construction Period. For activities that have not been verified by the Corps and the
project was commenced or under contract to commence by the expiration date of the NWP (or
modification or revocation date), the work must be completed within 12-months after such date
(including any modification that affects the project).
=3
For activities that have been verified and the project was commenced or under contract io
commence within the verification period. the work must be completed by the date determined by
the Corps.
For projects that have been verified by the Corps, an extension of a Corps approved
completion date maybe requested. This request must be submitted at least one month before the
previously approved completion date.
FURTHER INFORMA'T'ION
1. District Engineers have authority to determine if an activity complies with the terms and
conditions of a NWP.
2. NV,/Ts do not obviate the need to obtain other Federal, State, or local permits, approvals, or
authorizations required by law.
3. NWPs do not grant any property rights or exclusive privileges.
4. NVTPs do not authorize any injury to the property or rights of others.
5. NVATPs do not authorize interference with any existing or proposed Federal project.
DEF) TIONS
Best Management Practices (Bly0s): BMPs are policies, practices, procedures, or structures
implemented to mitigate the adverse environmental effects on surface water quality resulting
from development. BN Ps are categorized as structural or nonstructural. A BMP policy may
affect the limits on a development.
Compensatory MitiZation: For purposes of Section 10/404, compensatory mitigation is the
restoration, creation, enhancement; or in exceptional circumstances, preservation of wetlands
and/or other aquatic resources for the purpose of compensating for unavoidable adverse impacts,
which remain, after all appropriate and practicable avoidance and minimization has been
achieved.
Creation: The establishment of a wetland or other aquatic resource where one did not formerly
exist.
Enhancement: Activities conducted in existing wetlands or other aquatic resources that increase
one or more aquatic functions.
Rohemeral Stream: An ephemeral stream has flowing water only during and for a short duration
after, precipitation events in a typical year. Ephemeral stream beds are located above the water
table year-round. Groundwater is not a source of water for the stream. Runnoff from rainfall is
the primary source of water for stream flow.
-1 a
Farm Tract: A unit of contiguous land under one ownership that is operated as a farm or part of
a farm.
Flood Fringe: That portion of the 100-year floodplain outside of the floodway (often referred to
as "floodway fringe"'
.
Floodwav: The area regulated by Federal, state, or local requirements to provide for the
discharge of the base flood so the cumulative increase in water surface elevation is no more than
a designated amount (not to exceed one foot as set by the National Flood Insurance Program)
within the 100-year floodplain.
Independent Utility: A test to determine what constitutes a single and complete project in the
Corps regulatory program. A project is considered to have independent utility if it would be
constructed absent the construction of other projects in the project area. Portions of a multi-
phase project that depend upon other phases of the project do not have independent utility.
Phases of a project that would be constructed even if the other phases were not built can be
considered as separate single and complete projects with independent utility.
Intermittent Stream: An intermittent stream has flowing water during certain times of the year,
when groundwater provides water for stream flow. During dry periods, intermittent streams may
not have flowing water. Runoff from rainfall is a supplemental source of water for stream flow.
LOSS of waters of the US: Waters of the US that include the filled area and other waters that are
permanently adversely affected by flooding, excavation. or drainage because of the regulated
activity. Permanent adverse effects include permanent above-grade, at-grade, or below-grade
fills tha change an aquatic area to dry land, increase the bottom elevation of a waterbody, or
change the use of a waterbody. The acreage of loss of waters of the US is the threshold
measurement of the impact to existing waters for determining whether a project may qualify for a
NWP: it is not a net threshold that is calculated after considering compensatory mitigation that
maybe used to offset losses of aquatic functions and values. The loss of stream bed includes the
linear feet of.stream bed that is filled or excavated. Waters of the US temporarily filled, flooded,
excavated, or drained, but restored to preconstruction contours and elevations after construction,
are not included in the measurement of loss of waters of the US. Impacts to ephemeral waters
are only not included in the acreage or linear foot measurements of loss of waters of the US or
loss of stream bed, for the purpose of determining compliance with the threshold limits of the
NWPs.
Non-tidal YVetland: An area that, during a year with normal patterns of precipitation has standing
or flowing water for sufficient duration to establish an ordinary high water mark. Aquatic
vegetation. within.the area of standing or flowing water is either non-emergent, sparse, or absent.
Vegetated shallows are considered to be open waters. The term "open water" includes rivers,
streams, lakes, and ponds. For the purposes of the NWPs, this term does not include ephemeral
waters.
Perennial Stream: A perennial stream has flowing water year-round during a typical year. The
water table is located above the stream bed for the most of the year. Groundwater is the primary
,C?
source of water for stream flow. Runoff from rainfall is a supplemental source of water for
stream flow.
Permanent Above-y-ade Fill: A discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the US,
including wetlands, that results in a substantial increase in ground elevation and permanently
converts part or all of the waterbody to dry land. Structural fills authorized by NWPs 3,225, 36,
etc. are not included.
Preservation: The protection of ecologically important wetlands or other aquatic resources in
perpetuity through the implementation of appropriate legal and physical mechanisms.
Preservation may include protection of upland areas adjacent to wetlands as necessary to ensure
protection and/or enhancement of the overall aquatic ecosystem.
Restoration: Re-establishment of wetland and/or other aquatic resource characteristics and
function(s) at a site where they have ceased to exist, or exist in a substantially degraded state.
Riffle and Pool Compl : Riffle and pool complexes are special aquatic sites under the 404(b)(1)
Guidelines. Riffle and pool complexes sometimes characterize steep gradient sections of
streams. Such stream sections are recognizable by their hydraulic characteristics. The rapid
movement of water over a course substrate in riffles results in a rough flow, a turbulent surface
and high dissolved oxygen levels in the water. Pools are deeper areas associated with riffles. A
slower stream velocity, a streaming flow, a smooth surface, and a finer substrate characterize
pools.
Single and Complete Prot: The term "single and complete project" is defined at 33 CFR
330.2(1) as the total project proposed or accomplished by one owner/developer or partnership or
other association of owners/developers (see definition of independent utility). For linear
projects, .the "single and complete project" (i.e., a single and complete crossing) will apply to
each crossing of a separate water of the US (i.e., a single water-body) at that location. An
exception is for linear projects crossing a single waterbody several times at separate and distant
locations; each crossing is considered a single and complete project. However, individual
channels in a braided stream or river, or individual arms of a large, irregularly shaped wetland or
lake, etc., are not separate waterbodies.
Stormwater Management: Stormwater management is the mechanism for controlling stormwater
runoff for the purposes of reducing downstream erosion, water quality degradation, and flooding
and mitigatinD the adverse effects of changes in land use on the aquatic environment.
Stormwater Management Facilities: Stormwater management facilities are those facilities,
including but not limited to, stormwater retention and detention ponds and BMPs, which retain
water for a period of time to control runoff and/or improve the quality (i.e., by reducing the
concentration of nutrients, sediments, hazardous substances and other pollutants) of stormwater
runoff.
Stream Channelization: The manipulation of a stream channel to increase the rate of water flow
through the stream channel. Manipulation may include deepening, widening. straightening;
armoring, or other activities that change the stream cross-section or other aspects of stream
?_ 6
channel geometry to increase the rate of water flow through the stream channel. A channelized
stream remains a water of the US, despite the modifications to increase the rate of water flow.
Tidal Wetland: A tidal wetland is a wetland (i.e., water of the US) that is inundated by tidal
waters. The definitions of a wetland and tidal waters can be found at 33 CFR 328.3(b) and 33
CFR 328.3(f), respectively. Tidal waters rise and fall in a predictable and measurable rhythm or
cycle due to the gravitational pulls of the moon and sun. Tidal waters end where the rise and fall
of the water surface can no longer be practically measured in a predictable rhythm due to
mashing by other waters, wind, or other effects. Tidal wetlands are located channelward of the
high tide line (i.e., spring high tide line) and are inundated by tidal waters two times per lunar
month, during spring high tides.
T%getated Buffer: A vegetated upland or wetland area next to rivers, streams, lakes, or other
open waters, which separates the open water from developed areas, including agricultural land.
Vegetated buffers provide a variety of aquatic habitat functions and values (e.g., aquatic habitat
for fish and other aquatic organisms, moderation of water temperature changes, and detritus for
aquatic food webs) and help improve or maintain local water quality. A vegetated buffer can be
established.by maintaining an existing vegetated area or planting native trees, shrubs, and
herbaceous -plants on land next to openwaters. Mowed lawns are not considered vegetated
buffers because they provide little or no aquatic habitat functions and values. The establishment
and maintenance of vegetated buffers I a method of compensatory mitigation that can be used in
conjunction with the restoration, creation, enhancement or preservation of aquatic habitats to
ensure that activities authorized by N)N Ps result in minimal adverse effects to the aquatic
environment.. (See General Condition i95.)
T%ezetaied Shallow,-. Vegetated shallows are special aquatic sites under the 404(b)(1) Guidelines.
They are areas that are permanently inundated and under normal circumstances have rooted
aquatic vegetation. such as seagrasses in marine and estuarine systems and a variety of vascular
rooted plants it freshwater systems.
TITaterbodv: A waterbody is any area that in a normal year has water flowing or standing above
ground to the extent that evidence of an ordinary high water mark is established. Wetlands
contiguous to the waterbody are considered part of the waterbody.

b. Prior to the use of any NWP (except 13, 27, and 39) for any activity that has more than a
total of 150 total linear feet of perennial streambed impacts or intermittent streambed impacts (if
the intermittent stream has important aquatic function), the applicant must comply with
Nationwide Permit General Condition 13. In addition, the applicant shall furnish a written
statement of compliance with all of the conditions listed of the applicable NWT. Compensatory
mitigation is typically required for any impact that requires such notification. [Note: The Corps
uses the Intermittent Channel Evaluation Form, located with Permit Information on the
Re`ulatoryPro`ram VJeb Sife: to aid-in the deterininatioh of tlfe-iriteruuttent chanilel stream
status. Also, NWPs 13, 27 and 39 have specific reporting requirements.]

NORTH CAROLINTA DBUSION OF WATER QUALITY
GENERAL CERTIFICATION CONDITIONS
GS3362
1. Enumerating and Reporting of Impacts:
__ a -- Streams- -Impacts- to streams -as determined by the.Division of Water Quality shall be -
measured as length of the centerline of the normal flow channel. Permanent and/or temporary
stream impacts shall be enumerated on the entire project for all impacts regardless of which 404
Nationwide Permits are used. Stream relocations and streambed and/or banl: hardening are
20
considered to be permanent stream impacts. Any activity that. results in a loss of use of stream
functions including but not limited to filling, relocating. flooding, excavation, dredging and
complete shading shall be considered stream impacts. Enumeration of impacts to streams shall
include streams enclosed by bottomless culverts, bottomless arches or other spanning structures
when a 404 Permit is used anywhere in a project unless the entire structure (including
construction impacts) spans the entire bed and both banks of the stream; is only used for a road,
driveway or path crossing, and is not mitered to follow the stream pattern. Impacts for dam
footprints and flooding will count toward the threshold for stream impacts, but flooding upstream
of the dam will not (as long as no filling, excavation, relocation or other modification of the
existing stream dimension, pattern or profile occurs) count towards mitigation.
b. Wetlands - Impacts to wetlands as determined by the Division of Water Quality shall be
measured as area. Permanent and/or temporary wetland impacts shall be enumerated on the entire
project for all impacts regardless of which 404 Nationwide Permits are used. Any activity that
results in a loss of use of wetland functions including but not limited to filling, excavating,,
draining, and flooding shall be considered wetland impacts. Enumeration of impacts to wetlands
shall include activities that change the hydrology of a wetland when a 404 Permit is used
anywhere in?a project.
c. Lakes and Ponds - Impacts to waters other than streams and wetlands as determined by
the Division of Water Quality shall be measured as area. Permanent and/or temporary water
impacts shall be enumerated on the entire project for all impacts proposed regardless of which
404 Nationwide Permits are used. Any activity that results in a loss of use of aquatic functions
including but not limited to filling and dredging shall be considered waters impacts. ApplicaLiat
Thresholds - Stream. wetland and water impacts that exceed any of the thresholds below require
a complete application and written concurrence to use this Certification:
Total stream impacts of greater or equal to 15 0 cumulative feet of stream length for the
entire project require written notification to and approval b-,,, the Division of Water Quality,
and/or
Impacts to waters of equal to or greater than 1/3 of an acre require written notification to
and approval by the Division of Water Quality, and/or Wetland impacts of greater or equal to 1/3
of an acre east of -95 and 1/10 of an acre west of I-95 require written notification to and
approval by the Division of Water Quality except as specified below. Any impacts to wetlands
adjacent to waters designated as ORW, SA, 'VVS-I, WS-11 or Trout or are designated as a North
Carolina or National Wild and Scenic River and wetlands classified as SWL and/or UWL as well
as wetlands described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (e) require a complete application and written
concurrence from the Division of Water Quality to use this Certification. These thresholds apply
for the entire proj ect regardless of the number of Nationwide Permits applicable to the
Certification that are issued by the USACE for the project;
Written notification to DWQ is required for all applications that propose to use
Nationwide Permit 1 S. This notification requirement will be satisfied by providing two (2) copies
of Elie-e PCN form to DWQ- of the same fine that the PCN form is sent to the US Army Corps of
Engineers. A formal application and fee is not required unless DWQ decides that an Individual
2-1
Certification will be. required for the project. In this case, the applicant will be notified in writing
from DWQ within 30 days of the receipt of the written notification.
Proposed fill or substantial modification of any amount of wetlands classified in
accordance with 15A NCAC 2B .0101(e)(7) as Unique Wetlands (UViTL) shall require written
concurrence from the Division of Water Quality;
2. Impacts to any stream length in the Neuse, Tar-Pamlico or Randleman River Basins (or any
other major river basins with Riparian Area Protection. Rules [Buffer Rules] in effect at the time
of application) requires written concurrence for this Certification from DWQ in accordance with
15A NCAC 2B.0200. Activities listed as "exempt" from these rules do not need to apply for
written concurrence under this Certification. New development activities located in the protected
50-foot wide riparian areas (whether jurisdictional wetlands or not) within the Neuse and Tar-
Pamlico River Basins shall be limited to "uses" identified within and constructed in accordance
with 15A NCAC 2B .0200. All new development shall be located, designed, constructed, and
maintained to have minimal disturbance to protect water quality to the maximum extent
practicable through the use of best management practices;
3. Additional site-specific stormwater management requirements may be added to this
Certification at DWQ's discretion. on a case-by-case basis for projects that have or are anticipated
to have impervious cover of greater than 30 percent. Site-specific stormwater management shall
be designed to remove b'5°ro TSS according to the latest version of DWQ's Stormwater Best
Management Practices manual at a minimum. Additionally, in watersheds within one mile and
draining to 303(d) listen waters, as well as watersheds that are classified as nutrient sensitive
waters (NSW), wafer supply waters (VG'S), trout waters (Tr), high quality waters (HQW), and
outstanding resource waters (ORW), the Division shall require that extended detention wetlands,
bio-retention areas, and ponds followed by forested filter strips (designed according to latest
version of the NC DENR Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual) be constructed as part
of the stormwater management plan when a site-specific stormwater management plan is
required. For streams classified as Water Supply, High Quality Waters and Outstanding
Resource Waters, post-construction, on-site stormwater management shall be required as
appropriate and as outlined in 15A NCAC 2B .0104(m) and 2H .1000 to .1007, respectively, in
addition to that required in this General Certification. Alternative designs may be requested by
the applicant and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the Division of Water Quality.
Approval of stormwater management plans by the Division of Water Quality's other existing
state stormwater programs including appropriate local programs are sufficient to satisfy this
Condition as long as the stormwater management plans meet or exceed the design requirements
specified in this condition. This condition applies unless more stringent requirements are in effect
from other state water quality programs.
Unless specified otherwise in the approval letter, the final, written stormwater management
plan shall be approved in writing by the Division of Water Quality's Wetlands Unit before the
impacts specified in this Certification occur.
Tlie facilities inusfbe designed to treat the runoff from the entire project; unless otherwise
explicitly approved by the Division of Water Quality.
22
Also, before any permanent building or other structure is occupied at the subject site, the
facilities (as approved by the Wetlands Unit) shall be constructed and operational, and the
stormwater management plan (as approved by the Wetlands Unit) shall be implemented.
The structural stormwater practices as approved by the Wetlands Unit as 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.
4. Compensatory stream mitigation shall be required at a 1:1 ratio for all perennial and
intermittent stream impacts equal to or exceeding 150 feet and that require application to DWQ
in watersheds classified as ORW, HQW, Tr, WS-I and WS-II;
5. In accordance with North Carolina General Statute Section 143-2153D(e), any application for
a 401 Water Quality Certification must include the appropriate fee. If a project also requires a
CAMA Permit, one payment to both agencies shall be submitted and will be the higher of the
two fees;
6. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0506 (h) compensatory mitigation may be required for
impacts to 150 linear feet or more of streams and/or one acre or more of wetlands for an entire
project. For linear public transportation projects, impacts equal to or exceeding 150 feet per
stream may require mitigation. In addition, buffer mitigation may be required for any project with
Riparian Area Protection Ruies (Buffer Rules) in effect at the time of application for buffer
impacts resulting from activities classified as "allowable with mitigatior_?" within the "Table of
Uses" section of the Buffer Ruies or require a variance under the Buffer Rules. A determination
of buffer, wetland and stream mitigation requirements shall be made for any Certification for this
Nationwide Permi.. The most current design and monitoring protocols from DWQ shall be
followed and written plans submitted for DWQ approval as required in those protocols. When
compensatory mitigation is required for a project, the mitigation plans must be approved by
DWQ in writing before the impacts approved by the Certification occur, unless otherwise
specified in the approval letter. The mitigation plan must be implemented and/or constructed
before any permanent building or structure on site is occupied. hi the case of public road projects,
the mitigation plan mus" be impiementec before the roar is opened to tn-,traveiirl ptibiic. Please
note that if a stream relocation is conducted as a stream restoration as defined in The Internal
Technical Guide Tor Stream Work in North Carolina, April 2001, the restored length can be. used
as compensatory mitigation for the impacts resulting from the relocation;
7. For any project involving re-alignment of streams, a stream relocation plan must be included
with the 401 application for written DWQ approval. Relocated stream designs should include the
same dimensions, patterns and profiles as the existing channel (or a stable reference reach if the
existing channel is unstable), to the maximum extent practical. The new channel should be
constructed in the dry and water shall not be turned into the new channel until the banks are
stabilized. Vegetation used for bans: stabilization shall be limited to native woody species, and
should include establishment of a_30 foot wide wooded and an adjacent 20 foot wide vegetated
buffer on both sides of the relocated channel to the maximum extent practical. A transitional
phase incorporating coir fiber and seedling establishment is allowable. Also, rip-rap, A-Tacks,
?3
i
I
concrete, gabions or other hard structures may be allowed .if it is necessary to maintain the
physical integrity of the stream, but the applicant must provide written justification and any
calculations used to determine the extent of rip-rap coverage requested. If suitable stream
mitigation is not practical on-site, then stream impact will need to be mitigated elsewhere. Please
note that if a stream relocation is conducted as a strearn restoration as defined in The Internal
Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, April 2001, the restored length can be used
as compensatory mitigation for the impacts resulting from the relocation;
S. Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams, and wetlands must be placed
below the elevation of the streambed to allow low flow passage of water and aquatic life unless it
can be shown to DWQ that providing passage would be impractical. Design and placement of
culverts including open bottom or bottomless arch culverts and other structures including
temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in
aggradation, degradation or significant changes in hydrology of wetlands or stream beds or
banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above structures. The applicant is required
to provide evidence that the equilibrium shall be maintained if requested to do so in writing by
DWQ. 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 aggradation, degradation or significant changes in hydrology of streams or
wetlands;
9. That appropriate sediment and erosion control practices which equal or exceed those outlined
in the most recent version of the "North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and
Design Manual" or the "North Carolina Surface Niining Manual" whichever is more appropriate
(available from the Division of Land Resources (DLR) in the DBl\TP? Regional or Central Offices)
shall be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design, installation and
operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to assure compliance
with the appropriate turbidity water quality standard:
10. All sediment and erosion control measures placed in wetlands and waters shall be removed
and the original grade restored within two months after the Division of Land Resources has
released the project,
11. That additional site-specific conditions may be added to projects proposed under this
Certification in order to ensure compliance with all applicable water quality and effluent
standards;
12. Measures shall be taken to prevent live or fresh concrete from coning into contact with
waters of the state until the concrete has hardened;
13. If an environmental document is required, this Certification is not valid until a Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI) or Record of Decision (ROD) is issued by the State Clearinghouse;
14: If this Certification is used-to access building sites, all lots owned by the applicant must be
buildable without additional fill beyond that explicitly allowed under other General
Certifications. The applicant is required to provide evidence that the lots are buildable without
24
requiring additional impacts to wetlands, waters or buffers if required to do so in writing by
DWQ. For road construction purposes, this Certification shall only be utilized from natural high
ground to natural high bound;
15. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all lots with remaining
jurisdictional wetlands and waters or areas within 50 feet of all streams and ponds. These
mechanisms shall be put in place within 30 days of the date of issuance of the 401 Certification
letter or the issuance of the 404 Permit (whichever is later). A sample deed notification format
can be downloaded from the 401/Wetlands Unit web site at http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/nowetlands.
DWQ shall be sent copies of all deed restrictions applied to these lots;
16. 'When written concurrence is required, the applicant is required to use the most recent
version of the Certification of Completion form to notify DWQ when all work included in the
401 Certification has been completed;
17. Concurrence from DWQ that this Certification applies to an individual project shall expire

The State of North Carolina certifies that the specified category. of activity will not violate
applicable portions of Sections 301, 302, 303, 306 and 307 of the Public Laws 92-500 and 95-217
if conducted in accordance with the conditions hereinafter set forth.
Conditions of Certification:
1. Enumerating and Reporting of Impacts:
Streams - Impacts to streams as determined by the Division of Water Quality shall be
measured as length of the centerline of the. normal fiat channel. Permanent and/or
temporan' stream imparts shall be enumerated or the entire palest for all impacts
regardless of which 404, Nationwide Permits are used. Stream relocations and
stream bed and/or bank hardening are considered to be permanent stream Impacts.
Any activity th&t results in a loss of use of stream functions Including but not limit®d to
filling, relooatiog, flooding, excavation, dredgin and comaiete shading shall be
considered stream impacts. enumeration of impacts to streams shall Include strearns
enclosed by bottomless culverts, bottomless arches or other spanning structures
when a 404 Permit Is used anywhere In a project unless the entire structure
(including construction impacts) spans the entire bed and both banks of the stream,
is only used for a road, driveway or path crossing, and is not mitered to follow the
stream pattern. Impacts for dam footprints and flooding will count toward the
threshold for stream impacts, but flooding upstream of the dam will not (as long as no
filling, excavation, relocation or other modification of the exlsting stream dimension,
pattern or profile occurs) count towards mitigation requirements. Any filling,
excavation, relocation or other modification of the existing stream (other than
flooding) must re-establish the same dimensions, patterns and profiles of the existing
channel (or those of a stable reference reach if the existing channel is unstable) to
the maximum extent practical.
6 Wetlands - Impacts to wetlands as determined by the Division of Water Quality shall
be measured as area. Permanent and or temporary wetland Impacts shall be
enumerated on the entire project for all impacts regardless of which 404• Nationwide
Permits are used, Any activity that results In a loss of use of wetland functions
including but not limited to filling, excavating, draining, and flooding shall be
considered wetland impacts: Enumeration of-imoacts to wetlands shall include
activities that change the hydrology of 'a wetland when 404 Permit is used
snywhers in a project.

IDENR Stormwater Hest Management Practices Manual) be constructed as part of the
stormwater management plan when a site-speclfic stormwater management plan Is
required,
For streams classified as Water Supply, High Quality Waters and Outstanding Resource
Waters, post-construction, on-site stormwater management shall be required as
appropriate and as outlined in 15A NCf+G 2E .0104(m) and 2H .1000 to .1007,
respectively, In addition to that required in this General Certification.
Alternative designs may be requested by the applicant and will be reviewed on a case-by-
case basis by the Division of Water Quality.
kpprovaf of stormwater management plans by the Division o-, Wets- Duality's other
existing state stormwater nrograms Including appropriate, local programs are sufficient to
satisfy this Condition as long as the stormwater management plans meet or exceed the
design requirements spec?f ied in this condition. This condition aooiies unless more
ctrinpent requirement:. are in effect trom other stats water auallt? programs,
Unless specified otherwise in the approval letter, the final, written stormwater
management plan shall be approved in wrlting by the Division of Water Quality's
Wetlands Unit before the impacts specified In this Certification occur.

otherwise explicitly approved by the Division of Water Quality,
Also,. before any permanent building or othsr structure is occupied at the subject site,
the tacilltles (as approved by the Wetlands Unit) shall be constructed and operational,
and the stormwater management pier) (as approveo by the Wetlands Unit) shall be
Implemented.
b The structural stormwater practices as approved by the Wetlands Unit as 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.
5. Compensatory stream rnltlgatlon-shall be required at a 1:1 ratio for not only perennial but
also Intermittent stream impacts that require application to DWQ in watersheds classified
as CRW, HOW, Tr, WS-1 and WS-II unless the project is a linear, publicly-funded
- transportation-profact;.which has-a1 K-foot per-stream impact allowance; -
6. In accordance with North Carolina Cenerai Statute Section 11 43-215.3D(e), any
applicatlon for a 401 Water Quality Certification mus' include the appropriate fee. If, a
is=I
i
project also requires e .AMA Permit, orae paymem to both agencies shalt be submitted
gnu will be the higher c tne, two gees, '
7. In accordance with 15A NCAC 21-{ .0506 (h) compensatory mitigation may be
required for impacts to 1, 50 linear feet of more of streams and/or one acre or more of
wetlands for an entire project, For liner public transportation projects, impacts equal to
or exceeding 150 feat per stream may require mitigation. In addition, buffer mitigation
may be required for any-project with Riparian Aroa Protection Rules (Buffer Rules) In
effect at the time of application for buff impacts resulting from activities classified as
"allowable with mitigation" within the "Table of Uses" section of the Buffer Rules or require
a variance under the Buffer Rules. A d(termination of buffer, wetland and stream
mitigation requirements shall be made f)r any Certification for this Nationwide Permit.
The most current design and monitoring protocols from DWQ shall be followed and written
plans submitted for DWQ approval as required In those protocols. When compensatory
mitigation is required for a project, the rt lfipatlon plans must be approved by DWQ In
writing before the impacts approved by the Certification occur, unless otherwise specffled
in the approval letter. The mitigation plan must be implemented and/or constructed before
any permanent building or structure on aite Is occupied. In the case of public road
projects, the mitigation plan must be 1rho'lemenied before the road is opened to the
travelling public. Please note that If a stfoam relocation is conducted as a stream
restoration as defined in The Internal 7d::hnical Guide for Stream Wort- in North Carolina ,
April 2001, the restored length can be used as compensatory mitigation for the impacts
resulting from the relocation;
i
5. For any project involving re-allgnmont oft streams, a stream relocation plan must be
included with the 401 application for writen DWQ approval. Relocated stream designs
should include the same dimensions, papems and profiles as the existing channel (or-a.
stable reference reach if the existing channel is unstable), to the maximum extent
practical. The new channel should be constructed In the dry and water shall not be turned
into the new channel untl! the banks areistabiiized. Vegetation used for bank stabilization
shall be limited t^ native woody specles,sanci should include establishment of a 30 toot
wice wooded and an adiacen*. 20 toot wide vegetated buffer on both sides of the, relocated
channel to the maximum extent practical;. A transitional phase incorporating coir fiber and
seeftric, establishment is allowaoie, Alsb, rlp-rap, A.-Jacks, :.oncrete, gablons or other
hard structures may be allowed if it is necessary to maintain the physical integrity of the
stream, but the applicant must provide written justification and any calculations used to
determine the extent of rip-rap coverage ;requested. If suitable stream mitigation Is not
practical on-site, then stream impact will !need to be mitigated elsewhere. Please note
that if a stream relocation is conducted as a stream restoration as defined in The Internal
Teohnlca; Gulve forSrream Work, in Noah Carolina , April 2001, the restored length can
be used as compensator, mitigation for the impacts resulting from the relocation;
Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams; and wetlands must be
placed below the elevation or the streambed to allow low flow passage of water and
aquatic life unless.it can be shown to DWO that providing passage would be impractical.
Design and placement of culverts including open bottom or bottomless arch culverts and
other structures including temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted In a
manner that may.result in aggradation, degradation or significant changes In hydrology of
wetlands or stream beds or banks, ad lac,,
?nt to or upstream and down stream of the above
structures. The applicant is required to ptpvlde evidence that the equlilbrium shall be
maintained If requested to do so in writing by DWQ. Additionally, when roadways,
causeways or other fill projects are constructed across FEMA-designated floodways or
wetlands, dpeninpg5 such as.culverts,.pr„brdQes, must be provided to maintain the natural
hydrology of the system as well as prevent constriction of the fioodway thaf may result In

Draft Level Spreader Design Options Version 1.0
October 10, 2001
Using Level Spreaders to Provide Diffuse Flow Through Buffers for Compliance with Riparian Area Protection Rules
Level spreaders are one means of providing diffuse flow through protected buffers. It is always preferable to not
concentrate stormwater initially and provide as many outfalls as possible. This can reduce or even eliminate the need for
engineered devices to provide diffuse flow. However, this is not feasible in many cases. Some buffer protection rules such
as the Neuse, Catawba, and Tar-Pamlico Riparian Area Protection Rules do not allow direct discharges of stormwater
through the protected buffers. However, it is "allowable" with written approval from the DWQ to provide best management
practices (BMPs) that remove the nutrients or pollutants in question in order to discharge directly through the buffer.
These measures could include the use of the buffer itself as a forested filter strip, for instance, to remove the desired
substances. In addition to providing diffuse flow, level spreaders can be used to distribute flow into filter strips.
There are certain criteria that apply to every design that utilizes level spreaders to provide diffuse flow:
1) The entire system must safely pass a 10 year storm event without failing or causing erosion, gullies or rills.
2) The design of the level spreader must take into consideration site specific conditions such as topography, vegetative
cover, soil and other geologic conditions. If diffused flow is not attainable based on site conditions they should not be
used. (i.e. the slope of the natural ground away from or parallel to the level spreader should be relatively smooth in
the direction toward the stream so that the flow will not reconcentrate.)
3) Level spreaders should have a minimum length of ten feet and an absolute, maximum length of 300 feet.
4) It is always easier to keep flow distributed than to redistribute it after collection.
5) The type and amount of vegetative ground cover must also be considered.
6) Level spreaders must be level.
Level Spreader Design Options:
Conventional level spreader design option where entire discharge is passed through the level spreader with
no bypass conveyance for larger storms:
• For grass or thick ground cover vegetation:
i)13 feet of level spreader for every 1 cfs flow (Based on Q10 discharge)
ii) maximum length of 300 feet per level spreader
iii) Slopes of 8% or less from level spreader to top of stream bank
• For forested areas with little or no ground cover vegetation:
i) 100 feet of level spreader for every 1 cfs flow (Based on Q10 discharge)
ii) maximum length of 300 feet per level spreader
iii) slopes of 6% or less from level spreader to top of stream bank
Another conventional level spreader design technique that can be used to accommodate steeper slopes where grading is
allowed or exempt in zone 2 of protected buffers is to provide level spreaders in series as follows:
• Can be used on slopes of up to 15% for forested areas and 25% for grass or thick ground cover
• Structural level spreader just outside of zone 2 followed by a grassed berm level spreader just outside of zone 1

Page 2 of 2
• Maximum Q10 discharge of 1 cfs per 100 feet of level spreader for forested areas and 1 cfs per 13 feet of level
spreader for grass or thick ground cover
In some instances, because of topography, the size and imperviousness of the drainage area, or other site constraints,
conventional level spreader designs are not appropriate. However, there are alternative designs, like the ones listed
below, that would allow a level spreader to function properly by bypassing the larger discharge events. This is based on
the assumption used in designing most water quality BMPs that the "first flush" of stormwater discharge contains the
most substances of concern. These other alternatives are "allowable (require written approval from DWQ)" for protected
buffers in the Neuse, Tar-Pamlico and Catawba basins, but would not be allowable in protected buffers of the Randleman
watershed.
Level spreader with bypass for larger drainage areas that require 85% TSS removal or where lateral constraints limit the
level spreader length severely:
• Dry detention basin designed per NCDENR Stormwater BMP Manual* sized to detain 1" rain and release it over 2-5
days* through a level spreader.
• Level spreader length based on the maximum release rate discharge
• Discharges from greater than a 1" rain can be bypassed via an appropriate conveyance such as a grassed swale (rip
rap lined ditch or pipe may be used if necessary)
• Maximum discharge of 1 cfs per 100 feet of level spreader for forested areas and 1 cfs per 13 feet of level spreader
for grass or thick ground cover
*( in order to meet 85% TSS Removal criteria)
Another bypass alternative can be used that would not be considered to remove 85% TSS:
• Detention basin such as a type B silt basin preceding the level spreader
• Level spreader length based on the 1" per hour intensity storm
• A system designed to bypass the areater than 1" in per hour intensity storm through an appropriate conveyance such
as a grassed swale (rip rap lined ditch or pipe may be used if necessary)
• Maximum discharge of 1 cfs per 100 feet of level spreader for forested areas and 1 cfs per 13 feet of level spreader
for grass or thick ground cover
Yet another design that can be used in very specific areas with virtually flat slopes is a Preformed Scour Hole with a Level
Spreader Apron (typical detail attached):
• Discharge area must have virtually flat slopes such as those in flood plains or wetlands
• Must be located outside of zone 2
• B = 3 x discharge pipe size for pipes of either 15 or 18 inches B= base width (see detail)
• Maximum allowable discharge (Q10) of 6 cfs for a 15 inch pipe and 10 cfs for an 18 inch pipe
• Minimum apron width of 4 feet.
Any of the above options will be considered acceptable if designed in accordance with the outlined criteria. Please keep in
mind that some of the above practices may still require written approval, for instance when a direct bypass discharge is
proposed through a protected buffer in the Neuse or Tar-Pamlico River Basin.

If the.,tailwater.,elevation is below the t - the -culvert -open-
in? at the outlet figure 2B, 2C and 2D? h?is_more difficult to_deter-
mine? The discharge size and shape of culvert, and the TW must be
considered. In these
ses?._..hq is the greater of two values (1) TW
depth as def inec above or c
(?, 2 The latter dimension is the dis-
tance to the eauivalent hydraulic grade line discussed previously. In
this fraction d is the critical depth, as read from Charts 15 through
20 and D is the culvert height. The value of do can never exceed D,
making the upper limit of this fraction equal to D. Where TW is the
_ critical
greater of these two values _ ? de,pto - is submerged sufficiently
to make TW effective in increasing the headwater. The sketch in fig-
ure 5 shows the terms of equation 3 for this low tailwater condition.
Figure 5 is drawn similar to figure 2C, but a change in discharge can
change the water surface profile to that of figure 2B or 2D.
