NORTH CAROLINA 401 WATER QUALITY CERTIFICATION
THIS CERTIFICATION is issued in conformity with the requirements of Section 401 Public Laws 92-
500 and 95-217 of the United States and subject to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
Regulations in 15 NCAC 2H, Section .0500 to Mr. C. K. Smith of Southern Products and Silica Company
to fill 13.1 acres of jurisdictional wetlands in the Yadkin-Pee Dee River Basin, associated with the
expansion of surface mining activities in Richmond County, North Carolina, pursuant to an application filed
on the 9`" day of September of 2004, and in additional correspondence received April 12, 2004. According
to the application, Mr. C. K. Smith of Southern Products and Silica Company, have 13.1 acres of remaining
designated, permitted wetlands which may be filled per a DA permit granted on January 2, 1992, (AID#
199000114), which expired on December 31, 2002, and was extended by the Corps for 3 years. In this
application, Mr. C. K. Smith of Southern Products and Silica Company propose to extend the current permit
extension for 36 months to December 31, 2008, and modify the existing permit to change the location of the
last 13.1 acres of wetlands to be mined, from the approved wetland impact location to a new location along
the western edge of the existing mine, just outside the originally permitted mine area. This certification
replaces one issued to you on January 7', 1991.
The application and supporting documentation provides adequate assurance that the proposed work will
not result in a violation of applicable Water Quality Standards and discharge guidelines. Therefore, the
State of North Carolina certifies that this activity will not violate the applicable portions of Sections 301,
302, 303, 306, 307 of PL 92-500 and PL 95-217 if conducted in accordance with the application, the
supporting documentation, and conditions hereinafter set forth.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design submitted in the application materials and as
described in the Public Notice. If the project is changed, prior to notification a new application for a new
Certification is required. 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 of this Certification. Any
new owner must notify the Division and request the Certification be issued in their name. Should wetland
or stream fill be requested in the future, additional compensatory mitigation may be required as described
in 15A NCAC 21-1.0506 (h) (6) and (7). If any plan revisions from the approved site plan result in a
change in stream or wetland impact or an increase in impervious surfaces, the DWQ shall be notified in
writing and a new application for 401 Certification may be required. For this approval to be valid,
compliance with the conditions listed below is required.
Conditions of Certification:

Subject Property: Cary Oil Drainage Rehabilitation
REQUEST FOR MORE INFORMATION
Dear Mr. Stephenson:
On August 9, 2005, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your application dated August 8,
2005 to impact 147 feet of stream and 1,400 square feet (ft) of protected riparian buffers to construct the
proposed drainage improvements. The DWQ has determined that your application was incomplete and/or
provided inaccurate information as discussed below. The DWQ will require additional information in
order to process your application to impact protected wetland, streams and/or buffers on the subject
property. Therefore, unless we receive the additional information requested below, we will have to move
toward denial of your application as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0506 and 213 .0233(8) and will place
this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional information. Please provide the
following information so that we may continue to review your project.
Additional Information Requested:
The activity that you are proposing requires a Major Variance of the Neuse River Basin Riparian
Buffer Rules as per 15A NCAC 02B .0233(9)(c). A Major Variance can only be approved through
the Environmental Management Commission and typically requires conditions such as Riparian
Buffer Mitigation and Stormwater Management. The DWQ suggests considering activities such as
streambank stabilization, this could be done with biodegradable mesh matting and planting woody
vegetation along the streambank.
If you plan to continue with the proposed plan, a Major Variance Request Form is attached.
Initially you should contact this office at 919-733-1786 to schedule an appointment to speak with
the DWQ staff about your project.
Please respond within three weeks of the date of this letter by sending this information to me in writing
and Eric Kulz of the DWQ Raleigh Regional Office. If we do not hear from you within three weeks, we
will assume that you no longer want to pursue this project and we will consider the project as withdrawn.

III. Project Information
Attach a vicinity map clearly showing the location of the property with respect to local
landmarks such as towns, rivers, and roads. Also provide a detailed site plan showing property
boundaries and development plans in relation to surrounding properties. Both the vicinity map
and site plan must include a scale and north arrow. The specific footprints of all buildings,
impervious surfaces, or other facilities must be included. If possible, the maps and plans should
include the appropriate USGS Topographic Quad Map and NRCS Soil Survey with the property
boundaries outlined. Plan drawings, or other maps may be included at the applicant's discretion,
so long as the property is clearly defined. For administrative and distribution purposes, the
USACE requires information to be submitted on sheets no larger than 11 by 17-inch format;
however, DWQ may accept paperwork of any size. DWQ prefers full-size construction
drawings rather than a sequential sheet version of the full-size plans. If full-size plans are
reduced to a small scale such that the final version is illegible, the applicant will be informed that
the project has been placed on hold until decipherable maps are provided.

parking lot. The stream is shown on the USDA Soils Map for Wake County. General land
use in the neighboring area is commercial office space.
10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The
project involves extending an existing 24" RCP approximately 140' and backfilling on top of
the pipe. We anticipate most of the construction being done with a small bulldozer and
backhoe.
11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: There is significant erosion in the exiting
channel which is posing a threat to the structural stability of the existing parking lot. Piping
the water to a point downstream of the parking lot will prevent further damage to the existing
structures.
IV. Prior Project History
If jurisdictional determinations and/or permits have been requested and/or obtained for this
project (including all prior phases of the same subdivision) in the past, please explain. Include
the USACE Action ID Number, DWQ Project Number, application date, and date permits and
certifications were issued or withdrawn. Provide photocopies of previously issued permits,
certifications or other useful information. Describe previously approved wetland, stream and
buffer impacts, along with associated mitigation (where applicable). If this is a NCDOT project,
list and describe permits issued for prior segments of the same T.I.P. project, along with
construction schedules. No known determinations were made during the construction of the
existing facility. On August 1, 2005 a site visit confirmed that the stream would remain buffered
under the Neuse River Rules.
V. Future Project Plans
Are any future permit requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work,
and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application.
At this time no future projects are planned for this site.
VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be
listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from
riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts,
permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
Page 7 of 12
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: Impacts will be limited to
filling and ripral2 placement in and along 147 LF of stream.
2. Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to
mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams,
separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding.

Current land use in the vicinity of the pond:
Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A Expected pond surface area: N/A
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.
We studied an alternative that would utilize additional rip-rap and a retaining wall inlieu_of
piping the channel, however, the area impacted would be greater and the cost of installation was
30% more than the current proposal.
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
Page 9 of 12
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
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strm,gide.html.
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.
Because the impacts are less than 150 linear feet, and because it is an intermittent
channel we do not believe that mitigation should be required.
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 http://h2o.enr.state.nc.ushvm/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): N/A
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A

Dear Ms. Karoly,
This letter follows our submittal of the Preconstruction Notification Form for proposed
drainage improvements to the Cary Oil office building on MacKenan Drive in Cary, NC. The existing
office building lies adjacent to a tributary to Swift Creek. Attached, please find
cover the review fees.
The stream is shown on the Wake County soils maps, and earlier this month the NC Division of Water
Quality verified that the stream was intermittent and remained under jurisdiction. The stream was
apparently relocated during construction of the existing office building, and bank erosion is now
threatening the parking lot. We are proposing to extend an existing 24" concrete pipe approximately
140' downstream to protect the existing parking lot.

On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Area Protection Rules (15A
NCAC 2B.0233)-EXPRESS REVIEW PROGRAA1
Dear Mr. Preuninger:
On August 1, 2005, at your request I conducted an on-site determination to review one feature located on
the subject property for applicability to the Ncuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B.0233). The feature is
labeled as "A" on the attached maps initialed by me on August 1, 2005.
At your request, I conducted an on-site determination as stated above. During my review I evaluated the
stream using the DWQ Stream Classification Form. I evaluated the stream reach A and calculated the
score to be 23 points. The form states that if the score is "greater than or equal to 19 points the stream is
at least intermittent".
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the feature labeled as "A" on the
attached maps is subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule. This feature has been highly disturbed with fill
material and riprap. Therefore the feature was evaluated upstream and downstream of the subject
property. Both upstream and downstream is a non-contested stream feature that represents what
the stream most likely would of looked like before the disturbance. This stream feature and its
associated buffers should be identified on any future plans for this property. The owner (or future
owners) should notify the DWQ (and other relevant agencies) of this decision in any future
correspondences concerning this property. This on-site determination shall expire five (5) years from the
date of this letter.
Landowners or affected parties that dispute a determination made by the DWQ or Delegated Local
Authority that a surface water exists and that it is subject to the buffer rule may request a determination
by the Director. A request for a determination by the Director shall be referred to the Director in writing
c/o John Dorney, DWQ Wetlands/401 Unit, 2321 Crabtree Blvd., Raleigh, NC 27604-2260. Individuals
that dispute a determination by the DWQ or Delegated Local Authority that "exempts" a surface water
from the buffer rule may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that
you receive this letter. Applicants are hereby notified that the 60-day statutory appeal time does not start
until the affected party (including downstream and adjacent landowners) is notified of this decision.
DWQ recommends that the applicant conduct this notification in order to be certain that third party
appeals are made in a timely manner. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition, which conforms to
401 Oversight/ Express Review Permitting Unit

construction schedules. No known determinations were made during the construction of the
existing facility. On August 1, 2005 a site visit confirmed that the stream would remain buffered
under the Neuse River Rules.
V. Future Project Plans
Are any future permit requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work,
and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application.
At this time no future projects are planned for this site.
VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be
listed separately in the tables below (e.g., culvert installation should be listed separately from
riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts,
permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.
Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
Page 7 of 12
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: Impacts will be limited to
filling and riprap placement in and alone; 147 LF of stream.

the size of the proposed impact (acres or linear feet). Please note that this section only
applies to waters that have specifically been determined to be isolated by the USACE.
N/A
Pond Creation
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.

local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A
Current land use in the vicinity of the pond:
Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A Expected pond surface area: N/A
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.
We studied an alternative that would utilize additional rip-rap and a retaining wall inlieu of
piping the channel, however, the area impacted would be greater and the cost of installation was
30% more than the current proposal.
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
Page 9 of 12
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
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/newetlands/strmgide.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 casement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
Because the impacts are less than 150 linear feet, and because it is an intermittent
channel, we do not believe that mitigation should be required.
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 http://h2o.cnr.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): N/A
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A

Dear Ms. Karoly,
This letter follows our submittal of the Preconstruction Notification Form for proposed
drainage improvements to the Cary Oil office building on MacKenan Drive in Cary, NC. The existing
office building lies adjacent to a tributary to Swift Creek. Attached, please find a check for $200.00 to
cover the review fees.
The stream is shown on the Wake County soils maps, and earlier this month the NC Division of Water
Quality verified that the stream was intermittent and remained under jurisdiction. The stream was
apparently relocated during construction of the existing office building, and bank erosion is now
threatening the parking lot. We are proposing to extend an existing 24" concrete pipe approximately
140' downstream to protect the existing parking lot.
If you have any questions regarding this permit request, please do not hesitate to call me at (919)
469-3340
Sincerely,

On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Area Protection Rules (15A
NCAC 2B.0233)-EXPRESS REVIEW PROGIL I
Dear Mr. Preuninger:
On August 1, 2005, at your request I conducted an on-site determination to review one feature located on
the subject property for applicability to the Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233). The feature is
labeled as "A" on the attached maps initialed by me on August 1, 2005.
At your request, I conducted an on-site determination as stated above. During my review I evaluated the
stream using the DWQ Stream Classification Form. I evaluated the stream reach A and calculated the
score to be 23 points. The form states that if the score is "greater than or equal to 19 points the stream is
at least intermittent".
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the feature labeled as "A" on the
attached maps is subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule. This feature has been highly disturbed with fill
material and riprap. Therefore the feature was evaluated upstream and downstream of the subject
property. Both upstream and downstream is a non-contested stream feature that represents what
the stream most likely would of looked like before the disturbance. This stream feature and its
associated buffers should be identified on any future plans for this property. The owner (or future
owners) should notify the DWQ (and other relevant agencies) of this decision in any future
correspondences concerning this property. This on-site determination shall expire five (5) years from the
date of this letter.
Landowners or affected parties that dispute a determination made by the DWQ or Delegated Local
Authority that a surface water exists and that it is subject to the buffer rule may request a determination
by the Director. A request for a determination by the Director shall be referred to the Director in writing
c/o John Dorney, DWQ Wetlands/401 Unit, 2321 Crabtree Blvd., Raleigh, NC 27604-2260. Individuals
that dispute a determination by the DWQ or Delegated Local Authority that "exempts" a surface water
from the buffer rule may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that
you receive this letter. Applicants are hereby notified that the 60-day statutory appeal time does not start
until the affected party (including downstream and adjacent landowners) is notified of this decision.
DWQ recommends that the applicant conduct this notification in order to be certain that third party
appeals are made in a timely manner. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition, which conforms to
401 Oversight/ Express Review Permitting Unit
