APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification
Town of Zebulon
100 North Arendell Avenue
Zebulon, NC 27597
Dear Sirs:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to cross three piped stream channels with. a water main in
Wake County, as you described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality on October 18, 2000. After
reviewing your application, we have determined that this action is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3288.
This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 12 when issued by the U.S. Army 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, 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 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. 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) (6) and (7). This approval shall expire when the corresponding Nationwide Permit expires or as
otherwise provided in the General Certification. 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 919-733-9646.
Sincerely, L

NEUSE RIVER BUFFER NARRATIVE
TOWN OF ZEBULON - WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS
PN - 00 - 306
October 10, 2000
The purpose of this narrative is to define the scope of the project and to define any stream
and buffer crossings that will occur during this project.
The proposed water main extensions are intended connect existing dead-end lines in the
Town of Zebulon's water system to provide increased pressures and fire flows in an area of
Town where these lines are deficient. Work performed for the installation of the water main
extensions will include approximately 2,020 LF of 6" diameter ductile iron water mains that
connect the existing 6" diameter water main in the Town's Community Park to the existing 6"
diameter water main along Barbee Street.
Due to the location of the existing lines, the water main extensions had to be placed
across an unnamed tributary to Moccasin Creek on the Town's property to facilitate the looping
of these lines. However, the installation of the proposed water mains will not involve any
disturbance of the existing streambed as all crossings of the tributaries to Moccasin Creek will be
accomplished by installing the proposed water main under the existing storm culverts. These
culverts occur in a cleared and maintained easement for an existing 8" diameter sanitary sewer
line.
Buffer Crossing # 1 & 2
The buffer crossings each consist of a near 90° crossing of an unnamed tributary to
Moccasin Creek with a 6" diameter ductile iron water main buried beneath the existing culverts
that are located in the existing streambed. These improvements will not involve any disturbance
of the streambed due to this fact. These buffer encroachments are located on the southern part of
the Town of Zebulon in the northeast portion of the Town's Community Park property before
connecting to the existing water main located along the eastern end of Barbee Street. (See the
attached 8 '/2" x 11" detail sheets)

Zebulon, North Carolina
PN: 00-306
Dear Mr. Dorney: -
94
Enclosed for your review and approval is a Pre-Construction Notification Application for
approval to construct water main improvements within Neuse River Buffer areas. The project
involves the installation of water mains in portions of the Town of Zebulon. The water main
extension that crosses an unnamed tributary of Moccasin Creek will parallel an existing 8-inch
sanitary sewer line located along a cleared and maintained easement. The water mains will be
installed under three (3) existing culverts that cross these tributaries within this maintained
easement and will not involve any disturbance of the existing streambed. These additional
extensions are part of a change order to a Clean Water Bond Fund project that has been awarded
to the Town.
Attached are 81/2" x 11" sheets of the buffer encroachments along with a brief narrative of
the encroachment and a check for $200.00 for the application fee.
If upon review of the above you should have any questions or need any additional
information, please do not hesitate to contact me. If there is anything else we can do to expedite
this matter, please feel free to call upon us as we would like to close out this project with the
State as soon as possible.
Respectfully,
