P. O. Box 1142
Mebane, NC 27302
Dear Mr. Bradley:
Your application for a 401 Water Quality Certification was received in the Central Office on September
8, 2001. According to our rules [15A NCAC 2H .0507 (A)], if final action is not taken within 60 days, the
Certification is waived unless DWQ has objected in writing to your application. Therefore, DWQ has waived
the requirement for a 401 Water Quality Certification for your plans to impact 120 feet of streams for
construction of the Ashwick subdivision as described in your application.
However if additional impact occurs or your development plans change, this waiver is no longer valid
and a 401 Water Quality Certification will be required.
If you have any questions, please telephone John Dorney at 919-733-1786.or Steve Mitchell at our
Raleigh Regional Office at 919-571-4700.

All:
Below are three projects with WS implications:
011371 (Orange Co., Ashwick Associates LLC) - project is in WS-II-BW HQW
on Eno River (Corporation Lake). Developer needs to get appropriate WS
permits from Orange County planning department. Must follow BUA and
buffer requirements (LD - 12% and 30' buffer or HD - 30% and 100' buffer
and stormwater controls). Will need to show no practical alternative
for buffer crossings of WS perennial streams.
011363 (Wake County, Sutherland Investment Co.) - New Light Creek is
WS-IV. Since development is over an acre it probably needs a sediment
and erosion control plan, which means the WSWP rules apply. BUA can be
no more than 24% and WS and Neuse buffers apply. Must get appropriate
permits from Wake County Planning Department. Must show no practical
alternative for WS perennial buffer crossings.
011389 (Jackson Co., Thomas Jenkins) - projects is in WS-III territory
(and probably Tr). Water dependent structures are allowed in the
buffer, but Jenkins must show that the seawall and steps are water
dependent and must minimize bua and divert stormwater. Plus WS permits
must be obtained from local planning department.

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
httn://www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/Perm apn 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.army.miI/wet]ands/regtour.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 USACE.
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 I 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 (CAMA) Permit and will coordinate
the 404/401 Permits.
USACE Permits - Submi one co f 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. 12$93
(March 9, 2000), available at htty://www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/nwpfinalFedReg_l?df.
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 re aired unless of ise stated
as optional. Incomplete applications will be returned. Submit even collated copies of al SACE
Permit materials to the Division of Water Quality, 401/Wetlands nit, 1 al ervice 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 ulative wetland/water impacts and less than 150 feet cumulative impacts 'to
streams, en a fee of $2 WNErth If either of these thresholds is exceeded, then a fee of $475' is
required. A c eck ma a oCarolina 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/ncwetiands/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.

Engineering Consulting Services Ltd, (ECS) has performed this wetlands delineation of
the site in accordance with the Corp Of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual,
Environmental Laboratory (1987).
Engineering Consulting Services has performed this stream determination in accordance
with North Carolina Division of Water Quality Guidelines Internal Guidance Manual For
Stream Classification, (January 19, 1999, Version 2.0).
In the professional opinion of Engineering Consulting Services, Ltd, all appropriate
inquiries have been made in regards to jurisdictional wetlands issues and stream
jurisdiction issues. Actual wetland acreage and stream footage and locations may vary
pending U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) and North Carolina Department of
Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) verification
and survey of the delineated boundaries (if necessary).
Wetlands and Streams
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, as amended, requires regulation of discharges into
"Waters of the United States." The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) is
the principal administrative agency of the Clean Water Act; however, the USACE has the
responsibility for implementation, permitting, and enforcement of provisions of the Act.
The USACE regulatory program is defined in 33 CFR 320-330.
Water bodies including lakes, rivers, and streams are subject to jurisdictional
consideration under the Section 404 program. Wetlands are also classified as "Waters of
the United States." Wetlands, defined in 33 CFR 328.3, are "those areas that are
inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient
to support, and under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation
typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions." Any action that proposes to place
fill into these areas falls under the jurisdiction of the USACE under Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344).
The USACE identifies hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland hydrology as the
three parameters requires for jurisdictional consideration. Hydrophytic vegetation is
defined as the sum total of macorphytic plant life that occurs in areas where the
frequency and duration of inundation or soil saturation product, permanently or
periodically, saturated soils of sufficient duration, to exert a controlling influence on the
plant species present. Hydric soils are soils that are saturated, flooded, or ponded long
enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions that favor growth and
regeneration of hydrophytic vegetation. The term "wetland hydrology" encompasses all
hydrologic characteristics of areas that are periodically inundated or have soils saturated
to the surface at some time during the growing season. Areas with evident characteristics
of wetland hydrology are those where the presence of water has an overriding influence
on characteristics of vegetation and soils due to anaerobic and reducing conditions,
respectively.
Jurisdictional streams are defined as those streams exhibiting: a distinctive and usually
continuos bed and bank; a stream bed substrate different from the surrounding terrain; no
fibrous roots in the channel; the absence of wood wetland plants in the channel; aquatic
life; strong presence of wrack lines; organic layer in the channel; and sometimes a nick
point, or gradient change along the channel. There are sometimes exceptions to the
general, rules and USACE and NCDWQ verifications are usually required.
Stream and Wetlands Locations
The steam and wetlands locations are noted on the attached maps prepared by ECS
personnel.

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
httl2://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strtngide.htmi.
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.
NorJL

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 indicatiing 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 applcation
process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrn/index.4tm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
