Courtesy 401 WQC Notification
Creekside Farms ATV Trail
Whitakers, Edgecombe County, North Carolina
S&EC Project #: 00-5134
Dear Ms. Jones and Mr. Zarzecki:
On behalf of Creekside Properties, we request authorization from the US Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) to use Nationwide Permit (NWP) 39 for the proposed all-terrain vehicle
(ATV) trail to cover permanent impacts to wetlands. We also request written concurrence from
the NC Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) that the project complies with the Tar-Pamlico
River Basin (TRB) Buffer Rules. The proposed impacts to wetlands are below the threshold
under NWP 39 for NCDWQ's written concurrence of the 401 water quality certification. A Pre-
construction Notification Application (PCN) is attached, which includes a letter from the
applicant authorizing S&EC to operate as their agent.
The proposed project consists of construction of an ATV trail. The proposed trail will connect a
farm road at the north end of the trail to an existing road located at the south end of the trail. The
proposed trail is nearly a mile long and runs along White.Oak Creek. In this area, the NRCS
cleared forest vegetation within Zone 1 as part of a FEMA project in response to flooding that
occurred during Hurricane Floyd. Please refer to the attached map (Figure 1) for the location of
the proposed project on a USGS topographic quadrangle, and Figure 2 for the location of the
project on the applicable Edgecombe County Soil Survey Map.

The proposed ATV trail will,,crpss three stream channels, two of which are buffered streams, and
0.04 acre of wetlands. The impact tables in the PCN`itemize and provide a description of each
proposed impact to wetlands. The project will not involve additional clearing of mature trees
because Zone 1 of the riparian buffer has already been cleared by the NRCS as indicated above.
In areas where the proposed trail is located outside of the NRCS cleared area, the proposed trail
has been threaded between the existing trees. Please refer to the attached Impact Maps (3 sheets)
for the location of each impact.
The proposed trail is located in the headwaters of White Oak Creek within the FEMA-mapped,
100-year floodplain. According to the NWP general conditions, NWP 39 can be used in
headwaters within the flood fringe of the 100-year floodplain. FEMA has not designated a
floodway within the 100-year floodplain of White Oak Creek. Only de minimis fill will be
required to construct the proposed ATV trail with screenings. Mr. Bobby Joyner, P.E. of Appian
Consulting Engineers indicated that he didn't believe there would be a problem with the project
complying with the local FEMA construction standards. (Note: He is the engineer that designed
the upstream road crossing of White Oak Swamp.) The trail will be a maximum of 8 feet wide
with screenings placed no wider than 6 feet wide to prevent rutting and subsequent erosion.
Because the levee of the stream is at a higher elevation than the trail, no erosion of the trail is
expected.
The USACE's current policy requires applicants to avoid and minimize wetland and stream
channel impacts to the maximum extent practicable and compensatory mitigation to offset
unavoidable losses of waters of the US when impacts exceed the thresholds for notification (0.10
acre) or if a discharge causes the loss of any open waters. Because the applicant has avoided
impacts to stream channels by proposing to bridge these crossings, minimized impacts to
wetlands to below the threshold for notification, and proposes tore-plant the riparian buffer
previously cleared by the NRCS (discussed in detail below), S&EC does not believe further
compensatory mitigation should be required by the USACE for this project.
NCDWQ's current policy does not require mitigation for wetland impacts below 1 acre and
stream channel impacts below 150 linear feet per tributary under NWP 39. Because permanent
impacts to wetlands (0.04 acre) are below the aforementioned wetlands mitigation threshold and
stream channel impacts have been avoided completely, S&EC believes that compensatory
mitigation should not be required by NCD WQ.
As indicated above, approximately 3,726 linear feet of the proposed trail runs parallel and within
the 50-foot riparian buffer of White Oak Creek in addition to crossing two buffered tributaries of
White Oak Creek. However, as has been previously discussed with you during pre-application
meetings regarding this project, the proposed trail has been located within a 20 to 30-foot-wide
area adjacent to White Oak Creek that had been cleared by NRCS as much as possible without
incurring unnecessary impacts to wetlands. As you requested, the proposed trail has been
located no closer than 15 feet to the top of the creek bank. Also, where the proposed trail is
located outside the riparian buffer, it has been threaded through the existing trees to prevent
significant additional tree loss. The applicant proposes to re-plant the riparian buffer along the
entire length of White Oak Creek bordered by the trail and implement a privet control plan in
October 23, 2001

accordance with the woodland m "- ement plan prepared by Agriland Associates, Inc (copy
attached). It should also be noted Chit the non-perpendicular crossing of channel #2 was
necessary to avoid large spoil piles next to the channel. Tree clearing will not be required for
this crossing. Because the applicant has minimized additional impacts to the riparian buffer to
the maximum extent practicable and proposes to restore the riparian buffer for mitigation, S&EC
believes additional mitigation should not be required by NCDWQ.
A self-addressed stamped envelope is enclosed for NCDWQ's use in copying S&EC, as the
authorized agent for the applicant, with any response provided to the applicant.

General Water Quality Certifications, and Riparian Buffer and Watershed Buffer Rules
This form is to be used for projects qualifying for any of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE)
Nationwide, Regional or General Permits as required by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and/or
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, and for the North Carolina Division of Water Quality's
(DWQ) associated General 401 Water Quality Certifications. This form is also to be used for any
project requiring approval under any Riparian Buffer Rules implemented by the N.C. Division of Water
Quality. This form should not be used if you are requesting an Individual 404 Permit or Individual 401
Water Quality Certification. The USACE Individual Permit application form is available online at
http://www.saw.usace.gmy.mil/wetlands/Perm app.htm.
The USACE is the lead regulatory agency. To review the requirements for the use of Nationwide,
Regional or General permits, and to determine which permit applies to your project, please go to the
USACE website at http://www.saw.usace.gimy.mil/wetlands/reglour.htm, or contact one of the field
offices listed at the end of this application. The website also lists the responsible project manager for
each county in North Carolina and provides additional information regarding the identification and
regulation of wetlands and waters of the U.S.
The DWQ issues a corresponding Certification (General or Individual), and cannot tell the applicant
which 401 Certification will apply until the 404 Permit type has been determined by the USAGE.
Applicants are encouraged to visit DWQ's 401/Wetlands Unit website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands to read about current requirements for the 401 Water Quality
Certification Program and to determine whether or not Riparian Buffer Rules are applicable. The
applicant is also advised to read the full text of the General Certification (GC) matching the specific 404
Permit requested. In some cases, written approval for some General Certifications is not required,
provided that the applicant adheres to all conditions of the GC. Applicants lacking access to the internet
should contact DWQ's Central Office in Raleigh at [phone].
Trout Waters Coordination - Special coordination with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC) is also required for projects occurring in any of North Carolina's twenty-five
counties that contain trout waters. In such cases, the applicant should contact the appropriate NCWRC
regional coordinator (listed by county on the last page of this application).
Page 1 of 12
CAMA Coordination - If the project occurs in any of North Carolina's twenty coastal counties (listed on
the last page of this application) the applicant should also contact the North Carolina Division of Coastal
Management (DCM) at [phone]. DCM will determine whether or not the project involves a
designated Area of Environmental Concern, in which case DCM will act as the lead permitting agency.
In such cases, DCM will require a Coastal Area Management Act (LAMA) Permit and will coordinate
the 404/401 Permits.
USACE Permits - Submit one copy of this form, along with supporting narratives, maps, data forms,
photos, etc. to the applicable USACE Regulatory Field Office (addresses are listed at the end of this
application). Upon receipt of an application, the USACE will determine if the application is complete as
soon as possible, not to exceed 30 days. This PCN form is designed for the convenience of the applicant
to address information needs for all USACE Nationwide, Regional or General permits, as well as
information required for State authorizations, certifications, and coordination. Fully providing the
information requested on this form will result in a complete application for any of the USACE
Nationwide, Regional or General permits. To review the minimum amount of information that must be
provided for a complete PCN for each USACE Nationwide permit, see Condition 13, 65 Fed.Reg. 12893
(March 9, 2000), available at http://www.saw.usace.a=.mil/wetlands/nwpfinalFedRea.pdf.
Processing times vary by permit and begin once the application has been determined to be complete.
Please contact the appropriate regulatory field office for specific answers to permit processing periods.
401 Water Quality Certification or Buffer Rules - All information is required unless otherwise stated
as optional. Incomplete applications will be returned. Submit seven collated copies of all USACE
Permit materials to the Division of Water Quality, 401/Wetlands Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650. If written approval is required or specifically requested for a 401
Certification, then a non-refundable application fee is required. In brief, if project impacts include less
than one acre of cumulative wetland/water impacts and less than 150 feet cumulative impacts to
streams, then a fee of $200 is required. If either of these thresholds is exceeded, then a fee of $475 is
required. A check made out to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, with the specific name of
the project or applicant identified, should be stapled to the front of the application package. For more
information, see the DWQ website at http://h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/fees.htmi. The fee must be
attached with the application unless the applicant is a federal agency in which case the check may be
issued from a separate office. In such cases, the project must be identifiable on the U.S. Treasury check
so that it can be credited to the appropriate project. If written approval is sought solely for Buffer Rules,
the application fee does not apply, and the applicant should clearly state (in a cover letter) that only
Buffer Rule approval is sought in writing. Wetlands or waters of the U.S. may not be impacted prior to
issuance or waiver of a Section 401 Water Quality Certification. Upon receipt of a complete application
for a 401 Certification, the Division of Water Quality has 60 days to prepare a written response to the
applicant. This may include a 401 Certification, an on-hold letter pending receipt of additional
requested information, or denial.

local stormwater requirement, etc.): NA
Size of watershed draining to pond: NA Expected pond surface area: NA
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
To avoid additional impacts to riparian buffer areas, the proposed ATV trail has been
designed to M within the area adjacent to White Oak Creek that was previously cleared by the
US Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service as part of a FEMA
project to reduce flooding in response to flooding that occurred during Hurricane Floyd.
Wetlands were avoided to the maximum extent practicable without causing significant additional
tree loss. Where possible without impacting wetlands, the trail was located outside the buffer.

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.us/ncwetlands/strmmide.htmi.
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.
Because the applicant has avoided impacts to stream channels by proposing to bridge those
crossings, minimized wetland impacts to less than a 1/10 acre, and proposes to re-plant Zone
1 of the riparian buffer recently cleared by the NRCS, S&EC believes that mitigation should
not be required by the USACE. Similarly, because the proposed wetland impacts 0.04 acre)
are below NCDWQ's 1/3-acre threshold for mitigation, S&EC believes that miti ag tion
should not be required by NCDWQ.

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 httv:/Aao.enr.state.nc.us/wm/index.htm. 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): NA
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): NA
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): NA
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres):' NA
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 (NEPA/SEPA)?
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.
Yes ? No ?
If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a
copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter.
Yes ? No ?
X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (DWQ Only)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify )?
Yes ® No ? If you answered "yes", provide the following information:
Page 9 of 12
Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer
mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer
multipliers.
The proposed trail has been designed to avoid direct impacts (i.e. cutting trees) to the riparian
buffer through use of the already cleared area adjacent to the channel and threading the trail
through remaining bottomland hardwood forest.

Zone*
(square feet)
Multiplier **
Mitigation
1 21,680 3 NA
2 8,128 1.5 NA
Total 29,808 NA
* Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular trom near bank of ctiannel; Gone l extends an
additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1.
If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation
of Property, Conservation Easement, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, Preservation or
Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as
identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or.0260.
The applicant proposes to re-plant the riparian buffer alon'Q the proposed ATV trail where the
NRCS previously cleared approximately 20-30 feet of the riparian buffer and control the spread
of common privet by the use of herbicides in accordance with a woodland management plan
prepared by Agriland Associates, Inc. A copy of the woodland management plan is attached for
your reference.
** Note: Even thou mitigation is not required for trails within the buffer, the applicant is
voluntarily providing more than would be required if it was.
XI. Stormwater (DWQ Only)
Describe impervious acreage (both existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site.
Discuss stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands
downstream from the property.
The area along White Oak Creek where the trail is proposed doesnot contain impervious
acreage. The proposed trail will be constructed with screenings, which will add a limited amount
of impervious area to the floodplain. However, the applicant proposes to re-plant the riparian
buffer where it was removed by the NRCS. Re-planting Zone 1 of the riparian buffer and
maintaining the existing forest vegetation on the floodplain is expected to adequately protect
surface waters and wetlands downstream of the proposed project.
XII. Sewage Disposal (DWQ Only)
Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of
wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.
Page 10 of 12
XIII. Violations (DWQ Only)
Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (I 5A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules?
Yes ? No Z
Is this an after-the-fact permit application?
Yes ? No
XIV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).

To Whom It May Concern:
I have employed Kevin Martin with the Soil and Environmental services out of Raleigh to advise
and work with governmental agencys on myxfarm in Edgecombe County.
I feel that this is a necessity with my farming operations due to the numerous misunderstandings
T e occurred in the past.
