Johnston County
Dear Mr. Clark:
On December 7, 1998, 1 Met with you at the North Carolina State University Central Crops
Research Station to conduct a site visit of the property involved in the above referenced
project. It was determined as a result of the site visit that the feature present on this property
an ephemeral/stormwater stream and therefore not subject to the Neuse River Basin: Nutrient
Sensitive Waters Management Strategy; Protection and Maintenance of Existing Riparian
:Areas, Administrative Code T15A:02B.0233 (NCAC 0233) .
The following information is being included retrospective to the other projects that were
mentioned during the site visit. The riparian buffer is protected in two separate zones. Zone
1 is intended to be undisturbed forest and begins at the upper edge of the water at the
property line and extends landward a distance of 30 feet, measured horizontally on a line
perpendicular to the water. Forest vegetation of any width that exists in Zone 1 must be
preserved and maintained. Zone 2 begins at the outer edge of Zone 1 and extends landward
a minimum of 20 feet as measured horizontally on a line perpendicular to the waterbody. The
combined minimum width of Zones 1 and 2 shall be 50 feet on all sides of the waterbody.
Vegetation in Zone 2 shall consist of a dense ground cover composed of herbaceous or woody
species which provides for diffusion and infiltration of runoff and filtering of pollutants.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and if this Office can be of any assistance or if you
have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
Steve Mitchell
Environmental Scientist

APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and Neuse River Buffer Rules
Mr. George Clark, Supt.
Central Crops Research Station
13223 US 70 West
Clayton, NC 27520
Dear Mr. Clark:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill material in 0.83 acres of wetlands or
waters for the purpose of constructing an irrigation pond at Central Crops Research Station for NCSU, as you described in
your application dated September 22, 1998. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by
General Water Quality Certification Number 3108. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 26
when the Corps of Engineers issues it. This approval is also valid for the Neuse River buffer rules (15A NCAC 2B
.0233). 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. Also 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. If you change your
project, you must notify us and 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 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.
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, 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 Dorney at 919-733-1786.
