Dear Mr. S,*es,
Your =replication for a 401 Water Quality Certification was received in the Central Office of the Division of
Water Oua-Ty (DWQ) on December 4, 2001. According to our rules (15A NCAC 2H .0507(A) and 15A NCAC 2B
.0233(8)', final ac6m is not taken within 60 days, the 401 Certification and Neuse Buffer Authorization
Certifies "s,.vaive^ unless DWQ has objected in writing to your application. Therefore, DWQ has waived the
requirerne. a for a 4•91 Water Quality Certification No. 3258 for your plans to impact 62 feet of stream channel for
the purp--se of proVkfing positive drainage flow and reduce erosive velocities as described in your application.
Howeirs, if accitonal impact occurs or your development plains change, this waiver is no longer valid and a
401 Wat_r Cuality C=rtification and Authorization Certificate viill be required.
If you rave any -uestions, please telephone Mr. Bob Zarzecki at 919-733-9726.
Sincerely,

draw-down valve or spillway, etc.):
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.):
Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area:
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.
During the past several years, stormwater flows have produced scour and deposited sediment
downstream of 24" RCP which has caused a standing water problem. The proposed project
would provide a velocity dissipater to reduce velocities and scour as well as provide for positive
flow in the stream channel.
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
Page 9 of 12
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/strmgide.html.
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.
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 http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If

Re: North Hills Club - Public Nuisance
Dear Robert:
This letter is to confirm my meeting yesterday (7/23/01) with Mr. Bob Zarzecki with the
North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) regarding the proposed work at the
outlet of an existing 24" RCP on the properties of the North Hills Club and Dave and
Susan Dubach. Mr. Zarzecki and myself met on site and discussed the work proposed to
alleviate the standing water problem present at the pipe outlet.
During our meeting, I outlined the scope of the work as proposed which included
removal of silt/sediment/debris within the channel in order to achieve positive grade;
installation of a rip-rap velocity dissipater as well as a 24" flared end section. Mr.
Zarzecki stated the proposed work would be an allowed use under streambank
stabilization, but would require submittal of a Pre-Construction Notification Application
(PCN) to NCDWQ for compliance with the Neuse Buffer Rules. Mr. Zarzecki
emphasized that disturbance to the buffer should be kept to a minimum and that re-
planting of vegetation in the buffer would be necessary once excavation is complete.
Minimization of disturbance as well as re-planting should be noted on the plan when
submitted.
Also, Mr. Zarzecki suggested additional vegetation could be planted in existing grassy
areas adjacent to the stream in order to improve water quality.
When submitting the application (PCN), Mr. Zarzecki noted it would be helpful to note
his site meeting in your cover letter in order to assist with expediting the permitting
process. Mr. Zarzecki stated the proposed work, should fall under Nationwide Permit 13.

Re: North Hills Club - Public Nuisance
Dear Robert:
This letter is to confirm my meeting yesterday (7/23/01) with Mr. Bob Zarzecki with the
North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) regarding the proposed work at the
outlet of an existing 24" RCP on the properties of the North Hills Club and Dave and
Susan Dubach. Mr. Zarzecki and myself met on site and discussed the work proposed to
alleviate the standing water problem present at the pipe outlet.
During our meeting, I outlined the scope of the work as proposed which included
removal of silt/sediment/debris within the channel in order to achieve positive grade;
installation of a rip-rap velocity dissipater as well as a 24" flared end section. Mr.
Zarzecki stated the proposed work would be an allowed use under streambank
stabilization, but would require submittal of a Pre-Construction Notification Application

Minimization of disturbance as well as re-planting should be noted on the plan when
submitted.
Also, Mr. Zarzecki suggested additional vegetation could be planted in existing grassy

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.
During the past several years, stormwater flows have produced scour and deposited sediment
downstream of 24" RCP which has caused a standing water problem. The proposed project
would provide a velocity dissipater to reduce velocities and scour as well as provide for positive
flow in the stream channel.
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
Page 9 of 12
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/strmgide.html.
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.
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 http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wtp/index.htm. If

Re: North Hills Club - Public Nuisance
Dear Robert:
This letter is to confirm my meeting yesterday (7/23/01) with Mr. Bob Zarzecki with the
North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) regarding the proposed work at the
outlet of an existing 24" RCP on the properties of the North Hills Club and Dave and
Susan Dubach. Mr. Zarzecki and myself met on site and discussed the work proposed to
alleviate the standing water problem present at the pipe outlet.
During our meeting, I outlined the scope of the work as proposed which included
removal of silt/sediment/debris within the channel in order to achieve positive grade;
installation of a rip-rap velocity dissipater as well as a 24" flared end section. Mr.
Zarzecki stated the proposed work would be an allowed use under streambank
stabilization, but would require submittal of a Pre-Construction Notification Application
(PCN) to NCDWQ for compliance with the Neuse Buffer Rules. Mr. Zarzecki
emphasized that disturbance to the buffer should be kept to a minimum and that re-
planting of vegetation in the buffer would be necessary once excavation is complete.
Minimization of disturbance as well as re-planting should be noted on the plan when
submitted.
Also, Mr. Zarzecki suggested additional vegetation could be planted in existing grassy
areas adjacent to the stream in order to improve water quality.
When submitting the application (PCN), Mr. Zarzecki noted it would be helpful to note
his site meeting in your cover letter in order to assist with expediting the permitting
process. Mr. Zarzecki stated the proposed work should fall under Nationwide Permit 13.
