APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and AUTHORIZATION CERTIFICATE per the Neuse River Buffer
Protection Rules (1 SA NCAC 2B .0233) with ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
Dear Mr. Spivey:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill within or
otherwise impact 0.004 acres (approximately 100 feet) of waters (i.e, intermittent streams), 188, feet of perennial
streams and 13,650 square feet (ft) of protected riparian buffers for the purpose of constructing three (3) road
crossings at the subject property, as described within your application dated October 4, 2002. After reviewing your
application, we have decided that the impacts are covered by the N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) General Water
Quality Certification Number(s) 3375. The Certification(s) allows you to use Nationwide Permit 14 when issued by the
US Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE). This letter shall also act as your approved Authorization Certificate for impacts
to the protected riparian buffers per 15A NCAC 2B .0233. In addition, you should obtain or otherwise comply with any
other required federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your,project including (but not limited to) Erosion
and Sediment Control and Non-discharge. 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 and including any
modifications listed 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 fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre
of wetland or 150 linear feet of stream, 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 and any additional
conditions listed below.
Conditions:
1. Diffuse Flow (Review)
An additional condition is that stormwater shall be directed to flow in a diffuse manner at non-erosive velocities
through the entire protected stream buffers without re-concentrating. Additionally, a stormwater management plan
for this project shall be provided to this Office before any of the impacts approved herein are conducted. The plan
shall specify all stormwater discharge points, plan details, and calculations to indicate that diffuse flow through the
protected buffers as described above will be achieved.
2. Certificate of Completion
Upon completion of all work approved within the 401 Water Quality Certification or applicable Buffer Rules, and any
subsequent modifications, the applicant is required to return the attached certificate of completion to the
401/Wetlands Unit, North Carolina Division of Water Quality, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650.

3. Deed Notifications
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.
4. Stream Mitigation
You are required to mitigate for impacts to the perennial streams. The required length of stream mitigation to
compensate for impacts to the streams is 188 feet as required under GC3375 and 15A NCAC 02H .0506.
However, we understand that you have proposed mitigation for 274 feet of stream to satisfy the USACE permit ,
requirements. We understand that you wish to make a payment into the Wetland Restoration Fund administered by
the NC Wetlands Restoration Program (WRP) to meet this mitigation requirement. This has been determined by
the DWQ to be a suitable method to meet the mitigation requirement. In accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .0506,
this contribution will satisfy our compensatory mitigation requirements under this certification. Until the WRP
receives and clears your check (made payable to: DENR - Wetlands Restoration Program Office), no impacts
specified in this certification shall occur. Mr. Ron Ferrell should be contacted at [phone] if you have any
questions concerning payment into the WRP. You have one month from the date of this approval to make this
payment. For accounting purposes, this certification authorizes payment into the Wetland Restoration Fund
to compensate for 274 feet of required stream mitigation for impacts to 188 feet of perennial streams; 03-04-
02,27-23-(2) river and subbasin.'
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this Certification (associated with the approved wetland or stream impacts),
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.
Any disputes over determinations regarding this Authorization Certificate (associated with the approved buffer impacts)
shall be referred in writing to the Director for a decision. The Director's decision is subject to review as provided in
Articles 3 and 4 of G.S. 150B.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act and the
Neuse riparian buffer protection rule as described within 15A NCAC 2B .0233. If you have any questions, please
telephone John Dorney at 919-733-9646 or Bob Zarzecki at 919-733-9726.

Re: Application for 401 Water Quality Certification
D.R. Homes, Inc. - Torrey Homes
Wake Forest, Wake County, North Carolina
Dear: Mr. Dorney:
Attached is a Joint Application for Nationwide #14 and'Section 401-water
quality certification for the proposed Ligon Mill subdivision in Wake Forest,
Wake County, North Carolina. The 64.34-acre undeveloped-forested parcel
owned by D. R. Horton, Inc. is located west of Ligon Mill Road (SR 2044)
approximately 1.4 miles south of Wake Forest in Wake County (Figure 1).
Permit authorization is being requested for impacting 0.004 acres of wetland and
impacting 188 linear feet of jurisdictional stream. The impacts are the result of
three road crossings. Three separate unnamed tributaries of Smith Creek will be
impacted by proposed road crossings. The first proposed impact is to an
intermittent stream draining from a pond on the property. The second proposed
impact is a perennial stream channel draining from a pond adjacent to the
property. The third proposed impact is a perennial stream channel that has an
existing road crossing.
The regional conditions will be followed with culverts buried in the streambed
except for the third crossing. A sewer line is located under the third crossing that
restricts the placement of culvert to its present elevation.
Included for your review is a site plan showing the proposed impacts along with
details of the proposed impacts. Also, included are details for a storm water
management plan.

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.
Impacts were avoided and minimized as much as practical. Headwalls are proposed
to reduce the impacts. Stream crossing #2 utilizes an existing crossing to reduce the amount
of impact.
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/strrn.gide.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.
Proposed mitigation is to make payment into the NCWRP Program. See attached letter.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. 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 use of
