PIN No. 1710-.20-91-1098; 31 acres
Mahler's Creek [03-04-02, 27-43-9, C NSW]
APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and Authorization Certificate per the Neuse River Buffer Protection
Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233) with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Lee:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill in 256 feet of
perennial streams (136 feet of Mahler's Creek ("Crossing 1 ") and 120 feet of an unnamed tributary stream ("Crossing 2")),
and 21,424 square feet (11,063 square feet at Crossing 1 and 10,361 square feet at Crossing 2) of protected Neuse Buffers
to construct two road crossings associated with the proposed South Creek Subdivision, Phase III in Garner, Wake County,
as described in your revised application received by the Division of Water Quality on May 25, 2004 and in additional
correspondence received May 5, 2004. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered by
General Water Quality Certification Number 3404, which can be viewed on our web site at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 14 when it is issued
by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This approval is also valid for the Neuse River Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 213 .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, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also this approval will
expire when the accompanying 404 permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification. This Certification
replaces the one issued to Mr. Lanny Clifton of Son-Lan Development Company, Inc., on July 24, 2002 for the same project,
now re-named, with minor design changes as described in the revised application.
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 in writing 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 the Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for
complying with all conditions. If total wetland and/or stream fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre or
150 linear feet of perennial streams, 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, as well as the additional
conditions listed below:
1. You are required to return the attached Certification of Completion form to notify DWQ when all work included in the 401
Certification has been completed;
2. The culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that downstream profiles are not altered (i.e. the
depth of the channel must not be reduced by a widening of the streambed). Existing stream dimensions (including the
pattern and profile) are to be maintained above and below locations of each culvert. The culverts shall be designed and
installed to allow for aquatic life movement as well as to prevent head cutting of the streams. If any of the existing pipes
are or become perched, the appropriate stream grade shall be re-established or, if the pipes installed in a perched
manner, the pipes shall be removed and re-installed correctly.
The establishment of native, woody vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization techniques must be
used where practicable instead of rip rap or other bank hardening methods; If rip-rap is necessary, it shall
not be placed in the stream bed, unless specifically approved by the Division of Water Quality.

3. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the bank rather than in the stream channel in order to minimize sedimentation
and reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into the stream;
4. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications 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. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
5. 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 Pre-construction Notice 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;
6. 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;
7. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all retained jurisdictional wetlands, waters and protective
buffers in order to assure compliance for future wetland, water and buffer impact. These mechanisms shall be put in
place prior to impacting any wetlands, waters and/or buffers approved for impact under this Certification Approval and
Authorization Certificate. A sample deed notification can be downloaded from the 401/Wetlands Unit web site at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands-,
8. Mitigation must be provided for the proposed impacts as specified in the table below. We understand that you wish to
make a payment to a fund administered by the NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) to meet this mitigation
requirement. This has been determined by the DWQ to be a suitable method to meet the mitigation requirement. This
contribution will satisfy our compensatory mitigation requirements. Until the EEP receives and clears your check (made
payable to: DENR - Ecosystem Enhancement Program Office), no impacts specified in this Authorization Certificate
shall occur. The EEP should be contacted at [phone] if you have any questions concerning payment into the
EEP. You have one month from the date of approval of the 404 Permit to make this payment. For accounting
purposes, this Authorization Certificate authorizes payment into the Stream Restoration Fund to meet the
following compensatory mitigation requirement:
Compensatory Mitigation
Required River and Subbasin Number
Stream 256 (feet) by EEP 03020201
Wetlands N/A
Waters N/A
Buffers N/A
Mr. Ron Lee, SouthPark Development Company, Inc.

9. An additional condition is that all constructed stormwater conveyance outlets shall be directed and maintained as
diffuse flow at non-erosive velocities through the protected stream buffers such that it will not re-concentrate before
discharging into a stream as identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233 (5). If this is not possible it may be necessary to
provide stormwater facilities that are considered to remove nitrogen. This may require additional approval from this
Office.
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, Mail Service Center 6714,
Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. 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 Steve Mitchell in the DWQ's Raleigh Regional Office at 919-571-4700 or Cyndi Karoly in
the Central Office in Raleigh 919-733-9721.

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 March 9, 2000, 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
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 NCWRP 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.tis/ncwetlands/strmgide.litml.
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 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.

WATER QUALITY SECTION
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP) is willing to
accept payment for stream and riparian buffer impacts associated with the subject project. Please note that the decision by
the NCEEP to accept the mitigation requirements of this project does not assure that this payment will be approved by the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the N.C. Division of Water Quality Wetlands/401 Unit. It is the responsibility of the
applicant to contact these agencies to determine if payment to the NCEEP for impacts associated with this project is
appropriate.
This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter. If we have not received a copy of the issued 404
Permit/401 Certification within this time frame, this acceptance will expire.
Based on the information supplied by you in a letter dated March 26, 2004, the stream and buffer restoration that is
necessary to satisfy the compensatory mitigation requirements for this project is summarized in the following table. The
maximum amount of mitigation that the NCEEP will accept for this project is also indicated in this table.

This letter is in response to your "Approval ... with Additional Conditions" of subject
project, dated 5/29/02 and as a result of my conversation with Steve Mitchell, on July 9t}'
It is my understanding that mitigation will no longer be required due to the fact that the
`second' crossing is not on a perennial stream as determined by Steve during a site visit
on May 22. If the second crossing does not count toward mitigation, the impact to
perennial streams is less than 150 feet.
Steve indicated that his report on the site investigation is documented on his final report
as posted on his comment sheet. It is our understanding that no mitigation will be
required on this project.
Please advise.

Sub: South Creek Subdivision # Garner, NC L F This is in response to your memo dated 4/18/02 to Son-Lan Development Company, Inc. and is
provided on behalf of the Developer and the Soil Scientist. The three items of concern are
addressed as follows:
The original plan used three pipes with an inlet invert of 243.2. The stream bottom at the
pipe entrance is at 244.2. Therefore, the three pipes were buried approximately one foot
into the channel bottom. It is now proposed that the two outside pipes, of the three pipes
in the channel, be raised to 244.7 or 1.5 feet above the center (lower) pipe. This would
concentrate low flow in the center pipe, as requested. We have used HecRAS to verify
that the new alignment would pass all design storms at a lower elevation than the
previous plan since the pipes are no longer buried to one foot depth. It would be
detrimental to raise the pipes much higher than the 1.5 feet because of the concern for
back-water onto upstream properties. The fourth pipe was placed on the floodplain in
order to promote some level of flow over the floodplain in an effort to simulate natural
conditions.
2. The "extra" line on Lot 29 was a mistake and has been deleted. This should address your
concern for access to the lot.
The second stream in the phase east of the "phase line" does show up on the Wake
County Soil Survey and will be addressed if the developer, Son-Lan Development
Company, Inc., can acquire the additional land. At this time they do not have the
potential for developing that parcel because they do not own the land. The map, as
drawn, is an indication of the proposed use, upon such time as they can acquire
ownership. However, we have indicated that a buffer is required on Lot 5, adjacent to
that stream.
Thank you for the quick response that you gave this submittal.

To Whom It May Concern:
On April 16, 2002 the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) was notified by receipt of your application
regarding your plan to fill wetlands for the purpose of a road crossing in Wake County. Approval from DWQ is
required to disturb these areas. Please provide 7 copies of the following information and refer to the DWQ #
listed above in your reply. Please show the following items on maps of suitable scale (for instance 1" = 100 feet)
so we can begin to determine your projects' compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500.
1. Please describe how the crossing of Mahlers Creek will allow for a low flow channel and will not
destabilize the stream. Specifically, can two of the culvers be raised to the bank full elevation of
the creek and the third placed in alignment with and one foot below the substrate elevation of the
creek to allow for a low flow channel
2. What is the intention of the lot between lot 29 and 30? If this lot is intended to be built on, is an
access drive proposed and where will it be located?
3. Please be aware that a second stream is showing on the Wake County soil survey in the phase east
of the "phase line" depicted on the plans. This stream is subject of the buffers unless an onsite
determination by the DWQ is made.
Please telephone me at 919-733-1786 if you have any questions or would require copies of our rules or
procedural materials. This project will remain on hold as incomplete in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0505(c).
The processing time for this application will begin when this information is received. If we do not hear from you
by writing within three (3) weeks we will assume you no longer want to pursue the project and will consider it
withdrawn.

V111. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with I SA 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 March 9, 2000, 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
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 . NCWRP 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://h?o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetIan(is/strnigide.hinil.
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.
Page 8 of 12
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that
you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be
reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants
will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the
NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at htlp:_h?u.r?,r^s?atr.nr.u>>?rp irnl?? ??tm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet):
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet):
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):_
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres):
IX. Environmental Documentation (DWQ Only)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public funds or the use of public (federal/state local)
land?
Yes No
If yes. does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NF:PA/SFpA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
