You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill
within or otherwise impact 0.174 of wetland as described in your application dated November 3,2006, and
received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ).on November 3, 2006, for the purpose of constructing-
the residential development. After reviewing your application, we have decided that the impacts are
covered by General Water Quality Certification Number(s) 3402 (GC3402). The Certification(s) allows
you to use Nationwide Permit(s) NW39 when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). In
addition, you should obtain or otherwise comply with any other required federal, state or local permits
before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Erosion and Sediment Control, and
Non-discharge regulations. Also, this approval to proceed with your proposed impacts or to conduct
impacts to waters as depicted in your application shall expire upon expiration of the 404 or CAMA
Permit.
This approval is for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you change your
project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application. If the property is sold,
the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for
complying with all conditions. If total fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre of
wetland or 150 linear feet of stream, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A
NCAC 2H.0506 (h). This approval requires you to follow the conditions listed in the attached
certification and any additional conditions listed below.
The Additional Conditions of the Certification are:
1. Impacts Approved
The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all of the other specific and general
conditions of this Certification (or Isolated Wetland Permit) are met. No other impacts are

2. No Waste, Spoil, Solids, or Fill of Any Kind
No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas be yond
the footprint of the impacts depicted in the Pre-Construction Notification. All construction ,
activities, including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion
control Best Management Practices, shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality
standards, statutes, or rules occur.
3. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing
the proper design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in
order to protect surface waters standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed,
operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina
Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control
measures must be such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most
recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices
shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects,
including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the project.
c. Sufficient materials required for stabilization and/or repair of erosion control measures and
stormwater routing and treatment shall be on site at all times.
4. Sediment and Erosion Control Measures
Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum
extent practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is
unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored within six months of the date that
the Division of Land Resources has released the project;
5. Protective Fencing
The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary and along the construction corridor within these
boundaries approved under this authorization shall be clearly marked with orange warning fencing
(or similar high visibility material) for the areas that have been approved to infringe within the
buffer, wetland or water prior to any land disturbing activities to ensure compliance with 15A
NCAC 2B .0233 and GC 3404;
6. Construction Stormwater Permit NCGO10000
Upon the approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan issued by the Division of Land
Resources (DLR) or a DLR delegated local erosion and sedimentation control program, an
NPDES General stormwater permit (NCGO10000) administered by DWQ is automatically issued
to the project. This General Permit allows stormwater to be discharged during land disturbing
construction activities as stipulated by conditions in the permit. If your project is covered by this
permit [applicable to construction projects that disturb one (1) or more acres], full compliance
with permit conditions including the sedimentation control plan, self-monitoring, record keeping
and reporting requirements are required. A copy of this permit and monitoring report forms may
be found at http-/rh2o enr state.iic.iislsulForms Documents.htm.;

7. Deed Notifications
Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all retained jurisdictional wetlands,
waters and protective buffers in order to assure compliance for future wetland, water and buffer
impact. These mechanisms shall be put in place prior to impacting any wetlands, waters and/or
buffers approved for impact under this Certification Approval and Authorization Certificate. A.
sample deed notification can be downloaded from the 401/Wetlands Unit web site at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. The text of the sample deed notification may be modified
as appropriate to suit to this project;
8. Culvert Installation
Culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profiles
are not altered. Existing stream dimensions (including the cross section dimensions, pattern, and
longitudinal profile) must be maintained above and below locations of each culvert. Culverts shall
be designed and installed to allow for aquatic life movement as well as to prevent head cutting of
the streams. If any of the existing pipes are or become perched, the appropriate stream grade shall
be re-established or, if the pipes installed in a perched manner, the pipes shall be removed and re-
installed correctly.
Culvert(s) shall not be installed in such a manner that will cause aggradation or erosion of the
stream up or down stream of the culvert(s). Existing stream dimensions (including the cross section
dimensions, pattern and longitudinal profile) shall be maintained above and below locations of each
culvert.
Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams, and wetlands must be placed below
the elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48 inches,
and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48 inches, to allow
low flow passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other structures
including temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in
dis-equilibrium of wetlands or streambeds 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 in writing by DWQ.
The establishment of native, woody vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization techniques
must be used where practicable instead of rip rap or other bank hardening methods. If rip-rap is
necessary, it shall not be placed in the stream bed, unless specifically approved by the Division of
Water Quality.
Installation of culverts in wetlands must ensure continuity of water movement and be designed
to adequately accommodate high water or flood conditions.
Upon completion of the project, the Applicant shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" form to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been
completed. The responsible party shall complete the attached form and return it to the
401/Wetlands Unit of the ITC Division of Water Quality upon completion of the project. Please
send photographs upstream and downstream of each culvert site to document correct installation
along with the Certificate of Completion form.

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. Impact area #1 was
inadvertently filled during the site aradina work. S&EC had previously delineated the wetland
boundaries, however, the cattle= ' azing in the area ate the wetland flagging. During--the ACOE
Page 5 of 9
site visit Mr. Ronnie Smith was made aware of the accidental fill in the wetland. The client
requests that the fill be allowed to remain in order for Lots 108 & 109 to be properly jraded for
the proposed homes The wetland fill at Impact area #2 is necessary to provide driveway access
to Lot 135 as well as the appropriate grading of Lot 134 The wetland fill at Impact area #3 is
necessary for the proposed road crossing, Bridle Drive This road is requirement, of Hoke
County Planning Department, EMS 911 and the Fire Department in order to allow for two (2)
access points to the proposed subdivision Scooter Lane was not a viable option as a secondary
access point as it is a private drive and Hoke County has no plans to make it a public street, i.e. it
tivill remain unpaved making it impossible for emergency vehicles to gain access to the proposed
subdivision Additionally NCDOT sight distance requirements precluded the location of the
proposed road The proposed subdivision entrance was also required to be located across from
the existing entrance to the `Bayonet at Puppy Creek" development. (please see attached letter
from MK&R Engineering)
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. 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
and/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, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
hiip:/Pn2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strrnOde.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
Page 6 of 9
As the total permanent wetland impact is only 0.1774 acres and the nature of the wetlands
was mostly herbaceous pasture land previously grazed upon by cattle, we do not feel
mitigation should be required. If however, mitigation is a requirement, we propose payment
into the NC EEP.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
[phone] to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For
additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP
website at htlp://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please
check the appropriate box on page five and provide the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): 0
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): 0
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0
IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
1. Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state/local) funds or the use of
public (federal/state) land? Yes ? No
2. If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No ?
3. If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please

X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
1. Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 02B .0243 (Catawba) 15A NCAC
213 .0250 (Randleman Rules and Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other.. (please
identify V Yes ? No
Page 7 of 9
2. If "yes", identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers.
If buffer mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the
buffer multipliers.
Zone* u?a
are feet Multiplier Required
1 N/A 3 (2 for Catawba) N/A
2 N/A 1.5 N/A
Total N/A N/A
* Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from the top of the near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends an
additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1.
3. If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e.,
Donation of Property, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, or Payment into the
Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as identified
within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or .0244, or .0260. N/A This site is not within a state regulated
buffered basin.
XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ)
Describe impervious acreage (existing and proposed) versus total. acreage on the site. Discuss stormwater
controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands downstream from the property. If
percent impervious surface exceeds 20%, please provide calculations demonstrating total proposed
impervious level. The proposed subdivision has less than 20% impervious surface and therefore an
engineered Stormwater Management Plan is not required.
X11. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ)
Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of
wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.
XIII. Violations (required by DWQ)
Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules?
Yes ? No
Is this an after-the-fact permit application? Yes ? No
XIV. Cumulative Impacts (required by DWQ)
Will this project (based on past and reasonably anticipated future impacts) result in additional
development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality? Yes ? No
If yes, please submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with
the most recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality policy posted on our website at
http:/ih2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncNvetlands. If no, please provide a short narrative description: We
have reviewed the "DRAFT Internal Policy, Cumulative impacts and the 401 Water Quality
Page 8 of 9
Certification and Isolated Wetland Programs" document prepared by the NC Division of Water
Quality on April 10, 2004, version 2.1. The draft states that most residential subdivisions are
unlikely to cause cumulative impacts This residential project does not meet any of the three
criteria of private projects that can clearly result in cumulative impacts. We anticipate that you
will advise us if a qualitative or quantitative impact analysis is required.
XV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).

Brownstone Farm Subdivision - Section 1
Hoke County, NC
Dear Mr. Smith:
On this project, there are three areas that we propose to Impact Wetlands for the
development of Brownstone - Section 1 development. Attached is a copy of the Wetland
Survey Map.
IMPACT AREA #1: (Total Impact 0.043 Ac. )
This area is located at the head of the Wetland Area "B" at Lots 108 & 109. Area
was inadvertently filled during the site grading work. The reason this happened, was that
at the time the wetlands had been delineated, the site was used to raise cattle, and they
would use this area to cross the low. We found out that the cattle had eaten the wetland
flagging at this and other locations. We request that this area be approved for the existing
fill to remain.
IMPACT AREA #2: (Total Impact 0.011 Ac. )
This area is located at the head of the Wetland Area "B" at Lots 135 & 136. We
request that the owner/developer be permitted to fill this area for driveway access to serve
Lot 135.
IMPACT AREA #3: (Total Impact 0.42-0)
This crossing is required by the County of Hoke Planning Department, EMS 911,
and the Fire Department to allow for Two access points to the subdivision. This would
make it possible to have access to Red Oak Court, Dairy Court and Oakridge Drive if
during a storm, fire, etc., access was cut-off at one point.
The crossing has been designed for minimal impact and to meet NC DOT sight
distance requirements. We request that the owner/developer be permitted to fill this area
for the use of a second access point in the subdivision as stated for reasons listed above.
ENTRANCE ROAD LOCATION:
Location was required by NC DOT, to line-up with existing entrance at "Bayonet
at Puppy Creek" development.
WETLANDS NOTIFICTION:
All Wetland areas as approved and shown on the Wetland Survey Map, will be
shown on all record plats of Brownstone Farm Subdivision, and on all individual owner
maps used for home closing, etc. and in the Home Owner Restrictive documents,
showing wetland areas are not to disturbed.
I hope I have answered any questions you might have and would appreciate your
review and approval. If you need any additional information, please do not hesitate to
contact me. My phone number is [phone] or you can e-mail me at
[e-mail].

Re: Additional information for Brownstone Farms, Hoke County, NC
On November 6, 2006, Mr. Ronnie Smith of the US Army Corps of Engineers contacted S&EC
requesting further justification for the location of Bridle Drive and the associated wetland
impacts. Additionally, Mr. Smith requested information with respect to mitigation for the
unavoidable wetland impacts associated with Brownstone Farms.
The NC Department of Transportation (NC DOT) required that Brownstone Drive, which is the
entrance to Brownstone Farms subdivision, be located across from the entrance to "Bayonet at
Puppy Creek" development. The major factor in this decision is the distance of these subdivision
entrances to a major intersection, e.g. North Parker Church Road and Johnson Mill Road. NC
DOT design standards require that there is adequate spacing between intersections and cross
streets for safety and traffic management issues.
The location of Bridle Drive was determined based on NC DOT and Hoke County requirements
in addition to the required location of Brownstone Drive. The proposed Wind Brook Court , the
future "Red Oak Court" and the future "Dairy Court" are all cul-de-sac roads. The lengths of
these roads are dictated by NC DOT regulations as well as Hoke County ordinances which limit
the distance from the end of the cul-de-sac to a cross-over street. Please see the attached
documentation from Mr. David Matthews (MK&R Engineering) and the attached Hoke County
Subdivision Ordinances.
Mr. Smith also requested that the remaining wetlands on the project site be preserved in
perpetuity as the proposed lot lines incorporate the wetland areas. It has always been the intent of
the developer to place restrictive deeds around all remaining wetland areas to prevent any future

activities within them. These restrictive deeds will be recorded when the subdivision plats are
recorded.
And finally, there is are two small areas, approximately 3,000 square feet and 1,000 square feet
respectively, currently utilized as farm roads that bisects the wetlands on the property. The
developer has removed the corrugated, plastic pipes and stabilized the areas with a native wetland
seed mix. Mr. Smith requested that a re-vegetation planting plan, including native wetland trees,
herbaceous wetland plants and native wetland seed mix, be submitted in order to restore the
wetland hydrology and connection between the two large wetland tracts and the smaller wetland
fringe. Please see the attached map depicting the area in question as well as the attached planting
plan. '.sir. Smith stated that this plan, in conjunction with the restrictive deeds and preservation of
the remaining wetlands on the property, would satisfy any mitigation requirements for this
project.
Please feel free to contact me if any further explanation or additional information is needed.

I have been asked why Bridle Drive could not be moved to the former existing
culvert pipe location that had cross the low area. First, this pipe was made of plastic and
had been crushed. The developer removed pipe, graded and grassed area with wetlands
seed mix to add to wetland area. Second, location of Bridle Drive was determined by the
cul-de-sac lengths in the next section of this project. Hoke County Planning and NC
DOT set the requirements on this length. Normally, this distance is 500 feet from a street
intersection to end of cul-de-sac. We were able to have approved a longer distance
requirement to help reduce the wetland impact for Bridle Drive crossing. One of the cul-
de-sacs has a distance of 1,072 feet, and one is 1,542 feet from the intersection of Bridle
Drive.
Enclosed, please find copy of the preliminary plant showing future eul-se-sacs and
wetland area in the next section. Scale of map is 1 '= 600'. Also there is a copy of the
Hoke County subdivision requirement for cul-de-sac lengths.
I hope I have answered the questions you had for the location of Bridle Drive. If
you need any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me. My phone

culvert pipe location that had cross the low area. First, this pipe was made of plastic and
had been crushed. The developer removed pipe, graded and grassed area with wetlands
seed mix to add to wetland area. Second, location of Bridle Drive was determined by the
cul-de-sac lengths in the next section of this project. Hoke County Planning and NC
DOT set the requirements on this length. Normally, this distance is 500 feet ftom a street
intersection to end of cul-de-sac. We were able to have approved a longer distance
requirement to help reduce the wetland impact for Bridle Drive crossing. One of the cul-
de-sacs has a distance of 1,072 feet, and one is 1,542 feet from the intersection of Bridle
Drive.
Enclosed, please find copy ofthe preliminary plans showing future cul-se-sacs and
wetland area in the next section. Scale of map is 1 '= 600'. Also there is a copy of the
Hoke County subdivision requirement for cul-de-sac lengths.
I hope I have answered the questions you had for the location of Bridle Drive. If
you need any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me. My phone
number is (919) 4845191 or you can e-mail me at davidma mkrinc.com.
Sincerely:

1. Streets shall be laid out so as to intersect as
nearly as possible at right angles, and no street
shall intersect any other street at an angle less
than sixty (60) degrees.
k* is a coefficient by which the algebraic difference in grade may
be multiplied to determine the length in feet of thevertical curve
which will provide minimum sight distance.
2. Property lines at intersections should be set so that
the distance from the edge of pavement, of the street
turnout, to the property line will be at least as
great as the distance from the edge of pavement to
the property line along the intersecting streets.
This. property trine„can -be;..es.tabllzhed_as a. radius
or as a sight. tr.3:angle.. Greater:. of'.faets from.the
edge of pavement: to . the .. property:;-#ne=::.will . be
required, if necessary;':to:,-provide-.-sigh-t- distance for
the vehicle on the side street.
3. Offset intersections are to be avoided unless
exception is.granted by-the Division of-Highways.
Inter-sections which cannot be aligned should be
separated by.a;:minimum .length of 200 feet.: between
survey center lines.
4. Intersections with arterials, collector and
thoroughfares shall be at least one thousand.(•1000)
feet from center line to center line, or more if
required by the North Carolina Department of
Transportation.
b) Cul-de-sacs
Permanent deadend streets should not exceed five-hundred
(500) feet in length unless necessitated by topography or
property accessibility and.:in_Yno.. case.-.:shall- be permitted
to be over fifteen ;hundred ' (1500 ) feat. Measurements shall.,-b-e,:from'..the..point. -where.-.-the• center
line of the deadend-•street.intersects:with-the center of
the turnaround of the cul-de-sac. Where one cul-de-sac
.intersects with another cul-de-sac, the end of each cul-
de-sac shall be no more than 500 to 1500 feet from a
through street, measured as stated above. The distance
from the edge of pavement on the vehicular turnaround to
the right-of-way line shall not be less than the distance
from the edge-of pavement to aright-of-way line on the
street approaching the turnaround. Cul-de-sacs should
not be used to avoid connection with an existing street
or to avoid the extension of an important street, unless
exception is granted by the Planning Board.
