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 Ms. Joyce V. Lipscomb Canady
and Glen Laurel East Subdivision, to fill or otherwise impact 135 linear feet of perennial stream,
and 9,427 square feet of Zone 1 Neuse River basin protected riparian buffers and 4,801 square feet
of Zone 2 Neuse River basin protected riparian buffers, to construct the proposed residential
subdivision which is located adjacent to the east side of the existing Glen Laurel Subdivision,
north of Vinson Road, bordered to the north by the Neuse River, east of Clayton, Johnston County,
North Carolina, pursuant to an application dated December 12, 2006 and received by the DWQ on
December 13 2006, and by Public Notice by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issued on the 17tH
day of January of 2007 (received by the DWQ on January 29, 2007).
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 2H .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:
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 approved including incidental impacts:

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.
3. No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas
beyond the footprint of the impacts depicted in the 404/401 Permit Application. 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;
4. 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

Continuing Compliance:
6. Ms. Joyce V. Lipscomb Canady and Glen Laurel East Subdivision shall conduct
construction activities in a manner consistent with State water quality standards
(including any requirements resulting from compliance with section 303(d) of the Clean
Water Act) and any other appropriate requirements of State law and federal law. If the
Division determines that such standards or laws are not being met (including the failure
to sustain a designated or achieved use) or that State or federal law is being violated, or
that further conditions are necessary to assure compliance, the Division may reevaluate
and modify this Certification to include conditions appropriate to assure compliance with
such standards and requirements in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0507(d). Before
modifying the Certification, the Division shall notify Ms. Joyce V. Lipscomb Canady and

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
