Dear Mr. & Ms. Newsome:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to impact 0.16 acres of
forested wetlands for the purpose of a residential road crossing adjacent to Slades Creek as you
described in your application dated October 28, 2002. After reviewing your application, we have
decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3375, which may be
viewed on our website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. This certification allows you to use
General Permit Number 14 when the Corps of Engineers issues it. 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, Coastal Stormwater, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed
regulations. This approval will expire when the accompanying 404 or CAMA 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 and any
additional conditions listed below.
Upon completion of the project, the applicant shall complete and return the enclosed
"Certification of Completion Form" to notify DWQ that all the work included in the 401
Certification has been completed. The responsible party shall complete the attached form and
return it to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the Division of Water Quality.
2. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all remaining jurisdictional
wetlands and waters or areas within 50 feet of all streams and ponds to notify the state in order
to assure compliance for future wetland and/or water impact. These mechanisms shall be put
in place within 30 days of the date of this letter or the issuance of the 404 Permit (whichever is
later).

3. In order to insure that roadside wetlands are not inadvertently drained, you may not install
roadside ditches along the driveway/entrance road.
4. To insure that wetland impacts do not exceed impacts as proposed in your application the
construction of the driveway may not include new excavation of spoil from adjacent wetlands
or existing ditches. Also, road frontage ditches (that may be located along Sladesville Credle
Road) may not be connected to any existing ditches within the tract.
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 919-733-1786 or Deborah

Dear Sirs:
We propose to construct a single-family residential dwelling on property located off of State Road
1143, adjacent to Slades Creek, in the community of Sladesville, Hyde County, North Carolina.
The proposed residence will be pile-supported over uplands, with a permitted septic system, also
located in uplands.
In order to access the upland portion of the property, we must construct an access road through
Department of the Army jurisdictional wetlands. The road will be approximately 1400 feet long
by 16 feet wide (toe-to-toe.) The travel surface of the road will be 12 feet wide. Through
coordination with the Corps of Engineers and the NC Division of Coastal Management, we have
selected the least damaging alternative for the construction of our road. We plan on utilizing an
existing 12 foot wide spoil berm to construct the majority or our road. We will only need to fill
an additional 4 foot wide area adjacent to the spoil berm to accommodate our proposed road
width. The existing spoil berm is approximately 1250 feet long. We will need to construct
approximately 150 foot of the road through wetlands without the spoil berm.
Wetland impacts associated with this project equals approximately 5000 square feet for the road
construction through the spoil berm area, and 2400 square feet for the road construction through
the area without the spoil berm, for a total of approximately 7400 square feet (0.16 acre.) The
impacted wetland area consists of a pint flatwood, primarily vegetated with loblolly pine, red
maple, sweetgum, and wax myrtle. We plan to provide compensatory mitigation for the proposed
work in the form of a conservation easement of one-half acre.
Thank you for your review of our permit application. Please feel free to contact us if you have
any questions or need additional information.
Sincerel ,

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.
Page 9 of 12
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.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
