PO Boc 20
Danbury NC 27016
Dear Mr. Greer:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact
0.10 acres of wetlands or waters for the purpose of putting in a sewer line at Walnut Tree subdivision, as you
described in your application dated April 21, 1998. After reviewing your application, we have decided that
this impact is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3101. This Certification allows you
to use Nationwide Permit Number 12 when it is issued by the 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, Coastal Stormwater, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed
regulations. This approval will expire when the accompanying 404 or CAMA 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 except as
modified below. If you change your project, you must notify us 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 this
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) exceec one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required
as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the
conditions listed in the attached certification.
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 conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative
Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. 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 John Domey at 919-733-1786.

Re: Walnut Tree Subdivision - Wastewater Improvements
Walnut Cove, Stokes Co., North Carolina
C&A Project No. WN9701
Dear Mr. Mickey:
We would like to request a determination of possible endangered or threatened
species or critical habitats pursuant. to the Army Corp of Engineers 404 permit for
the above-referenced project. We have enclosed a copy of the area quad sheet and
plan/profile sheets for this project. This project consists of a pump station and force
in to replace an existing questionable wastewater package treatment plant. The
force main (3") will be crossing Town Fork Creek and a tributary branch on it's
way to the Town of Walnut Cove's WWTP.
If you have any questions concerning this request, please call Lisa Routh or me at
336/759-9001.

Re: Walnut Tree Subdivision-Wastewater Improvements, Walnut Cove Stokes Co.
C&A Project No. WN9701
Dear Mr. Hoke:
This is in response to your request for determination of possible endangered or threatened
species or critical habitats that might be found in the vicinity of the above project. For your
information I have enclosed a copy of the NC Natural Heritage Program's Stokes County listing
for endangered or threatened species. For site specific information I suggest you contact the NC
Natural Heritage Program and/or the US Fish and Wildlife Service, addresses attached.
While we have found no endangered fish species in Town Fork Creek, we have collected
riverweed darter (Etheostoma podostemone) and bigeye jumprock (Moxostoma ariommum), both
state listed as special concern, and roanoke hog sucker (Hypentelium roanokense), state listed as
significantly rare. The force main crossing of Town Fork Creek and a tributary branch has the
potential to impact these species.
To lessen impacts to streams from this project, we offer the following recommendations
to further protect aquatic resources:
1) Where crossings are necessary, sewer lines should cross streams at right angles to
minimize impacts to riparian areas.
2) Sewer lines crossing streams should be buried in the stream bottom or attached to
existing bridges to maintain fish movement upstream and downstream and prevent debris
from collecting at the pipe and causing a hydrologic change. We do not recommend
installing priers in a stream channel to support a sewer line.
.1
3) If concrete will be used, work must be accomplished so that wet concrete does not contact
stream water. This will lessen the chance of altering the stream's water chemistry and
causing a fish kill.
4) Disturbed stream banks must be restored to original contours and revegetated with native
materials such as silky dogwood (Cornus amonum), silky willow (Salix sericea) and
hazel alder (Alnus serrulata). Riprap may be used to stabilize the bank below the high
water mark (bankful stage), and vegetation must be used above the high water mark.
5) An undisturbed buffer zone should be left between streams and all construction. We
prefer a buffer zone of at least 50 feet to control sedimentation into streams, provide
shade, and maintain a travel corridor for wildlife.
6) Stringent erosion control measures should be implemented where soil is disturbed and
maintained until project completion.
7) Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all bare soil within
15 days of ground disturbing activities to provide long-term erosion control. We prefer a
"seed as you go" strategy rather than allowing a large area to remain bare. Preference
should be give to native seed mixtures.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comMent on this project. If you have any
questions regarding these comments, please contact me at 336/366-2982.

NC NATURAL HERITAGE PROGRAM COUNTY SPECIES LIST COVER SHEET
The county species list from the NC Natural Heritage Program is a listing of the elements (rare species, natural communities, geologic
features, and special animal habitats) known to occur in a county. The information on this printout is compiled from a variety of
:es, including field surveys, museums and herbaria, literature, and personal cornmunications. The Heritage Program's Biological
a :onservation Database (BCD) is dynamic, with new records being added and old records being revised as new information is
received. The BCD was developed and is being maintained using methodology developed by The Nature Conservancy. The enclosed
list cannot be considered a definitive record of natural heritage elements, and it should not be considered a substitute for field surveys.
When this information is used in any document, we request that the printout date be given and that the NC Natural Heritage Program be
credited.
This cover sheet explains the four columns of status codes that are given on the right-hand side of the county list printout.

Plant statuses are determined by the Plant Conservation Program (NC Department of Agriculture) and the Natural Heritage Program
(NC Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources). E, T, and SC species are protected by state law (Plant Protection
and Conservation Act, 1979). C and SR designations indicate rarity and the need for population monitoring and conservation action.
WL indicates a species not warranting active monitoring, but believed to of conservation concern.
Animal statuses that indicate state protection (E, T, and SC) are published in Endangered Wildlife of North Carolina, March 16, 1992,
Nongame and Endangered Wildlife Program (NC Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources). SR and EX statuses
are Natural Heritage Program designations. SR indicates rarity and the need for population monitoring and conservation action. WL
indicates a species not warranting active monitoring, but believed to be of conservation concern.
EME AAL PROT TLQN
This status is designated by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Federally listed Endangered and Threatened species are protected under
the provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended through the 100th Congress. Unless otherwise noted, definitions are

Dear Mr. Mickey:
LAND SURVEYORS
DESIGN PROFESSIONALS
We appreciate your quick response to our March 9, 1998 request for possible
endangered or threatened species in our project area. Our design of the wastewater
force main does take into account the parameters of your listed guidelines as
follows:
1) Our force main is crossing Town Fork Creek at as close to 90° as possible and
clearing and disturbance will be limited to the width of.permanent right-of-way
(30').
2) The force main (3") will be buried three feet below the stream bed.
3) The force main will be concrete encased. Specifications call for concrete to be
placed, set and backfilled prior to allowing the stream flow back on that
particular area. Crossing will be performed during low flow periods with due
diligence of attention given to local future weather conditions. In any event, the
contractor shall be limited to a three day time of access for the stream crossings.
4) All disturbed stream banks shall be lined with 18" thick rip rap according to
local erosion control guidelines and approved erosion control plan. Filter fabric
will be installed under the rip rap to prevent future bank erosion from beneath.
All disturbed areas above the stream banks shall receive vegetative cover.

5) Where possible, more than 50' of buffer has been left between the streams and
the force main corridor. At one area, near the railroad tracks, we are forced to
align closer to Lick Creek because of the railroad right-of-way.
6) An erosion control plan is being submitted for the project and erosion control
measures will be maintained during the entire construction period.
7) Temporary or permanent vegetation shall be required for all disturbed areas of
the project.
Again, thank you for your prompt response to our request. If you have any
questions or concerns referencing this letter or project, please call Lisa Routh or me
at 336/759-9001.

NVIR 2 ©1996
The enclosed permit is in regards to a proposed sanitary sewer pump station and force main in
Walnut Tree Subdivision, Walnut Cove, Stokes County, North Carolina. This project will
remove from service an existing package wastewater treatment plant (NC - DENR permit no.
N00028754) that has been performing badly. The following are also enclosed:
(1) an 8.5 x 11 set of drawings
(2) one copy each of correspondence (three) with Fish and Wildlife

Re: Walnut Tree Subdivision - Wastewater Improvements
Walnut Cove, Stokes Co., North Carolina
C&A Project No. WN9701
Dear Mr. Mickey:
LAND SURVEYORS
DESIGN PROFESSIONALS
We would like to request a determination of possible endangered or threatened
species or critical habitats pursuant. to the Army Corp of Engineers 404 permit for
the above-referenced project. We have enclosed a copy of the area quad sheet and
plan/profile sheets for this project. This project consists of a pump station and force
main to replace an existing questionable wastewater package treatment plant. The
force main (3") will be crossing Town Fork Creek and a tributary branch on it's
way to the Town of Walnut Cove's WWTP.
If you have any questions concerning this request, please call Lisa Routh or me at
336/759-9001..
Sincerely,

Re: Walnut Tree Subdivision-Wastewater Improvements, Walnut Cove Stokes Co.
C&A Project No. WN9701
Dear Mr. Hoke:
This is in response to your request for determination of possible endangered or threatened
species or critical habitats that might be found in the vicinity of the above project. For your
information I have enclosed a copy of the NC Natural Heritage Program's Stokes County listing
for endangered or threatened species. For site specific information I suggest you contact the NC
Natural Heritage Program and/or the US Fish and Wildlife Service, addresses attached.
While we have found no endangered fish species in Town Fork Creek, we have collected
riverweed darter (Etheostoma podostemone) and bigeye jumprock (Moxostoma ariommum), both
state listed as special concern, and roanoke hog sucker (Hypentelium roanokense), state listed as
significantly rare. The force main crossing of Town Fork Creek and a tributary branch has the
potential to impact these species.
To lessen impacts to streams from this project, we offer the following recommendations
to further protect aquatic resources:
1) Where crossings are necessary, sewer lines should cross streams at right angles to
minimize impacts to riparian areas.
2) Sewer lines crossing streams should be buried in the stream bottom or attached to
existing bridges to maintain fish movement upstream and downstream and prevent debris
from collecting at the pipe and causing a hydrologic change. We do not recommend
installing priers in a stream channel to support a sewer line.
3) If concrete will be used, work must be accomplished so that wet concrete does not contact
stream water. This will lessen the chance of altering the stream's water chemistry and
causing a fish kill.
4) Disturbed stream banks must be restored to original contours and revegetated with native
materials such as silky dogwood (Corpus amonum), silky willow (Salix sericea) and
hazel alder (Alnus serrulata). Riprap may be used to stabilize the bank below the high
water mark (tankful stage), and vegetation must be used above the high water mark.
5) An undisturbed buffer zone should be left between streams and all construction. We
prefer a buffer zone of at least 50 feet to control sedimentation into streams, provide
shade, and maintain a travel corridor for wildlife.
6) Stringent erosion control measures should be implemented where soil is disturbed and
maintained until project completion.
7) Temporary or permanent herbaceous vegetation should be planted on all bare soil within
15 days of ground disturbing activities to provide long-term erosion control. We prefer a
"seed as you go" strategy rather than allowing a large area to remain bare. Preference
should be give to native seed mixtures.
Thank you for the opportunity to review and comm ent on this project. If you have any
questions regarding these comments, please contact me at 336/366-2982.
Sincerely,
`? '

NC NATURAL HERITAGE PROGRAM COUNTY SPECIES LIST COVER SHEET
The county species list from the NC Natural Heritage Program is a listing of the elements (rare species, natural communities, geologic
features, and special animal habitats) known to occur in a county. The information on this printout is compiled from a variety of
,es, including field surveys, museums and herbaria, literature, and personal communications. The Heritage Program's Biological
a :onservation Database (BCD) is dynamic, with new records being added and old records being revised as new information is
received. The BCD was developed and is being maintained using methodology developed by The Nature Conservancy. The enclosed
list cannot be considered a definitive record of natural heritage elements, and it should not be considered a substitute for field surveys.
When this information is used in any document, we request that the printout date be given and that the NC Natural Heritage Program be
credited.
This cover sheet explains the four columns of status codes that are given on the right-hand side of the county list printout.
CODE STATUS
E Endangered
T Threatened
SC Special Concern
C Candidate
CODE STATUS
P Proposed (E, T, or C)
SR Significantly Rare
EX Extirpated
WL Watch List
Plant statuses are determined by the Plant Conservation Program (NC Department of Agriculture) and the Natural Heritage Program
(NC Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources). E, T, and SC species are protected by state law (Plant Protection
and Conservation Act, 1979). C and SR designations indicate rarity and the need for population monitoring and conservation action.
WL indicates a species not warranting active monitoring, but believed to of conservation concern. .
Animal statuses that- indicate state protection (E, T, and SC) are published in Endangered Wildlife of North Carolina, March 16, 1992,
Nonsame and Endangered Wildlife Program (NC Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources). SR and EX statuses
are Natural Heritage Program designations. SR indicates rarity and the need for population monitoring and conservation action. WL
indicates a species not warranting active monitoring, but believed to be of conservation concern.
FEDERAL PROTEC LON
This status is designated by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Federally listed Endangered and Threatened species are protected under
the provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended through the 100th Congress. Unless otherwise noted, definitions are
taken from the Federal Register, Vol. 56, No. 225, November 21, 1991 (50 CFR Part 17).
CODE STATUS DEFINITION
E Endangered A taxon "in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range."
T Threatened A taxon "likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant
portion of its range."
P Proposed A taxon proposed for official listing as endangered or threatened.
_
L Listed A taxon officially listed as endangered-or threatened.
_
C Candidate A taxon under consideration for listing for which there is sufficient information to support listing. Prior to
February, 1996, this category was designated as Candidate 1 (C 1) species. -
FSC Federal A taxon for which there is insufficient information to support listing. Prior to February, 1996, this category
Species of was referred to as Candidate 2 (C2) species. Also called Federal "Species at Risk."
Concern
T(S/A) - In reference to the American alligator - this species is threatened due to similarity of appearance with other rare
crocodilians and is listed for trade purposes. The species is no longer biologically endangered or threatened
and is not subject to Section 7 consultation. fa?,y (?,, Elm c?u a fc, S111 w? F? nom; .., f er
Please note that the US Fish and Wildlife Service no longer recognizes the folio vving categories:
3A Candidate 3A A taxon for which the US Fish and Wildlife Service has "persuasive evidence of extinction."
313 Candidate 313 A taxon formerly under consideration for listing, but which current taxonomic understanding does not support
as a distinct entity meeting the Endangered Species Act's definition of "species."
Candidate 3C A taxon formerly under consideration for listing, but which has been "proven to more abundant or widespread
than previously believed and/or [which is] not subject to any identifiable threat."

Re: Walnut Tree Subdivision - Wastewater Improvements

C&A Project No. WN9701
Dear Mr. Mickey:
LAND SURVEYORS
DESIGN PROFESSIONALS
We appreciate your quick response to our March 9, 1998 request for possible
endangered or threatened species in our project area. Our design of the wastewater
force main does take into account the parameters of your listed guidelines as
follows:
1) Our force main is crossing Town Fork Creek at as close to 90° as possible and
clearing and disturbance will be limited to the width of permanent right-of-way
(30').
2) The force main (3") will be buried three feet below the stream bed.
3) The force main will be concrete encased. Specifications call for concrete to be
placed, set and backfilled prior to allowing the stream flow back on that
particular- area. Crossing will be performed during low flow periods with due
diligence of attention given to local future weather conditions. In any event, the
contractor shall be limited to a three day time of access for the stream crossings.
4) All disturbed stream banks shall be lined with 18" thick rip rap according to
local erosion control guidelines and approved erosion control plan. Filter fabric
will be installed under the rip rap to prevent future bank erosion from beneath.
All disturbed areas above the stream banks shall receive vegetative cover.

5) Where possible, more than 50' of buffer has been left between the streams and
the force main corridor. At one area, near the railroad tracks, we are forced to
align closer to Lick Creek because of the railroad right-of-way.
6) An erosion control plan is being submitted for the project and erosion control
measures will be maintained during the entire construction period.
7) Temporary or permanent vegetation shall be required for all disturbed areas of
the project.
Again, thank you for your prompt response to our request. If you have any
questions or concerns referencing this letter or project, please call Lisa Routh-or me
at 336/759-9001.
