Dear Sirs
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill
material in 266 feet of streams and 0.2 acres of wetlands of waters for the purpose of constructing road crossing at
NC 68 and Triad Center Drive in Guilford County, as you described in your application dated May 18, 1999. 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. 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) 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 and
any additional conditions 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 to notify the state in order to assure compliance for future wetland and/or water impact.
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).
2. An additional condition is that a final, written storm plan including a wet detention basin must be
approved by DWQ before wetland (or stream) impacts occur. Also before any building is occupied at
the subject site the stormwater treatment facilities shall be constructed and operational and the
stormwater management plan be implemented.
We understand that you have chosen to contribute to the Wetland Restoration Program in order to compensate
for these impacts to wetlands and/or streams. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2R .0402, this contribution will
satisfy our compensatory mitigation requirements under 15A NCAC 2H.0506(h). According to 15A NCAC 2H
.0506(h), feet of restoration will be required. Until the Wetland Restoration Program receives and clears your check
(made payable to: DEHNR - Wetland Restoration Program), wetland or stream fill shall not occur. Mr. Ron Ferrell
should be contacted at 919-733-5083 ext. 358 if you have any questions concerning the Wetland Restoration
Program. You have one month from the date of this Certification to make this payment. For accounting purposes,
this Certification authorizes the fill of 266 feet of streams, in 03068 river and subbasin and 266 feet of stream

restoration required. Please be aware that the Wetland Restoration Program (WRP) rules require rounding
of acreage amounts to one-quarter acre increments (15A 2R.0503(b)).
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.

SUBJECT: Friendship Airport Development, Guilford County
Dear Mr. Brook
Thank you for your letter of September 24, 1999 concerning the referenced project. Following
are our responses to your comments. We feel that this information will satisfy that we have
considered how this project will affect the Cambell-Gray Farm, a potential National Register
historic property located on the southwest corner of NC 68 and US 421.
The proposed project lies to the south of the Cambell-Gray property along NC 68. The
proposed work, which is not associated with, or a part of Piedmont Triad International
Airport, includes construction of an office building, associated parking, stormwater
improvements, and landscaped areas. The project has been reviewed and approved by the City
of Greensboro planning department. Based on the project's location and type of development
we feel that this project will have no adverse effects on the Cambell-Gray Farm property.
Thank you again for your letter. We look forward to receiving your approval following your
review. Please call if there are any questions.
Sincerely,
J. Mack Little, FASLA

14. The channel work, piping and renovation of the existing stormwater facility are required
for the following reasons:
1. Initial channelization of the stream in the late 1970's and construction of the
stormwater facility created slopes adjacent to the channel and pond greater than
2:1. These slopes have continually eroded and are beginning to slump into the
stream.
2. As part of the initial subdivision the channel and stormwater pond were designed
to only control volume discharge.
3. The design of the slopes and pond has contributed to the sediment buildup in the
pond and a reduction in its volume storage.
4. The existing pipes in the channel are failing and in need of repair. Water is
currently flowing under them.
5. The existing pipe outlets have no velocity control measures and continue to erode.
6. The existing steep slopes must be graded to provide flatter surfaces to stabilize the
site and for access to and development of the site.
To minimize the impacts and improve on the existing channel and stormwater conditions
the following is proposed:
1. Eliminate the steep man made slopes adjacent to the channel.
2. Provide velocity control to the system through outlet controls and flatter pipe
gradient. The three sections of the existing pipe in the stream have no outlet
controls.
3. Renovation of the existing stormwater basin based on BMP's to provide control
for the site and up stream runoff
4. Pay a mitigation fee to the N.C. Wetland Fund to mitigate the 266 linear feet of
channel which is being piped
18d. The stormwater management plan will be based on BMP's for quality and quantity
control. The renovated facility will be designed to control the 10 year storm for the
entire watershed.

MEMORANDUM
TO; John Dorney, Wetland Scientist
Division of Water Quality
FROM: Owen F. Anderson ?tww
Piedmont Region Coordinator
Habitat Conservation Program
DATE: June 18, 1999
SUBJECT: Pre-Construction Notification Application for Friendship Airport Development,
Greensboro, Action ID No. 199920156
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission have reviewed the
subject pre-construction notification application. An on-site investigation of the project area was
conducted on June 14, 1999. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the
Clean Water Act of 1977 (as amended) and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401,
as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661.667d).
Friendship Airport Development has proposed to pipe and fill approximately 266 linear
feet of stream and renovate an existing 0.2-acre stormwater pond in order to build an office
building with associated parking and access. This project will impact a perennial stream and 0.2
acres of wetlands in northwest Greensboro, The stream, wetland and existing stormwater pond
provide habitat for several fish and wildlife species. At least three species of fish, including
sunfish, and several species of frogs, crayfish, and birds are known to use these waters.
We have no objections to the proposed renovation and expansion of the stormwater pond;
however, we do have reservations concerning tbepiping of the upstream section. This stream is
providing benefits to both aquatic and terrestrial Ufe that will be lost when the stream is put in a
pipe. High, flashy flows during storm events are characteristic of Greensboro's urban streams
due to excessive piping, curb and gutter and other impervious surfaces. The piping of the stream
proposed in this project could exacerbate water quality problems in downstream areas and
contribute to a decline in aquatic habitat.
This stream is part of the water supply for the City of Greensboro and probably should
have been protected by a forested buffer. We offt observe Strom bank erosion in urban
settings, especially where forested riparian areas. are replaced with grasses. We arc not surprised
to see that "slopes have continually eroded and are beginning to slump into the stream," and "the

design of the slopes and pond has contributed to the sediment buildup in the pond and a
reduction in its volume storage." IU absence of woody vegetation to anchor the soil is a
contributing factor to bank destabilization.
It is our understanding that then habeen problems finding suitable stream mitigation
sites in the Greensboro area TherefoMV? , we ser atins about loss of er quality
functions and aquatic habitat being rethe impacted watershed by contributions to the
NC Wetland Fund. We request that efforts be made to modify this project to keep the creek m an
open channel. Consider movin#2 the office building to the southern portion of the property and
putting parking lots in the remauung areas around the stream. Parlung decks may also be helpful
in reducing the footprint of the project. Stream banks would need to be restored and stabilized
with trees and woody shrubs. Because there is a demand for stream restoration mitigation in the
Greensboro area, the applicant should be able to get assistance with stream restoration.
If the permit is issued for the project as proposed, we request that a 4-6-foot wide littoral
shelf be constructed along the edge of the expanded stormwater pond to help mitigate some of
the lost wetland functions and aquatic habitat associated with the 0.2 acres of wetland impact.
We also request that native herbaceous aquatic plants be established in this littoral zone and that
a buffer of native trees and shrubs be established along the remaining wetland and stormwater
pond. There appears to be sufficient space for an approximately 50-foot wide buffer along one
side of the pond. Along the highway side, the forested buffer should be as wide as space will
allow. We request that stream mitigation not be less than 2:1 with at least one-half being
restoration mitigation.
Thank you for the opporhuuty to review and comment on this project. If we can provide
further assistance, please contact Ron Small, Assistant Fisheries Biologist, at (336) 547-9552 or
me at (919) 528-9886.
