Attn: Timothy G. Broome, PE
Post Office Box 2263
Smithfield, NC 27577
Dear Mr. Broome:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to impact 0.05 acres of forested
wetlands and 0.0459 acres of buffers for the purpose of installing a water line to allow transporting
reclaimed water for agricultural use as you described in your revised application received September 9,
2003. After reviewing your application we have decided, this fill is covered by General Water Quality
Certification Number 3374. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number .12 when
the Corps of Engineers issues it. This approval is also valid for the Neuse River buffer rules (15A
NCAC 2B .0233). 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. Also this approval will expire
when the accompanying 404 or CAMA permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General
Certification. This Certification replaces the one issued to you on March 3, 2003.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you
change your project, you must notify us and 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. This approval shall expire when the corresponding Nationwide Permit
expires or as otherwise provided in the General Certification. 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). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached
certification and those listed below.
1. A requirement of this authorization and of the Neuse Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC
02B .233) is that non-electric underground utilities have equal to or less than a 10-foot
wide maintenance corridor. If the maintenance corridor associated with the proposed
utility will exceed the 10-foot limit you are required to modify your riparian buffer
impact notification/authorization request (pre-construction notification form), provide
maps and information detailing why impacts must exceed the 10-foot threshold.

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.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.

APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification and Neuse River Buffer Rules
Johnston County
Attn: Timothy G. Broome, PE
Post Office Box 2263 SEP - It 2003
Smithfield, NC 27577
Dear Mr. Broome:
0,0S
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to impact 0.07 acres of forested
wetlands and 0.0459 acres of buffers for the purpose of installing a water line to allow transporting
reclaimed water for agricultural use as you described in your application dated February 14, 2003. After
reviewing your application we have decided, this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification
Number 3374. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 12 when the Corps of
Engineers issues it. This approval is also valid for the Neuse River buffer rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233).
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, Also. 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. If you
change your project, you must notify us and 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. This approval shall expire when the corresponding Nationwide Permit
expires or as otherwise provided in the General Certification. If total wetland fills for this project (now
or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NC AC
2H .0506 (h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached
certification and those listed below.
1. A requirement of this authorization and of the Neuse Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC
02B .233) is that non-electric underground utilities have equal to or less than a 10-foot
wide maintenance corridor. If the maintenance corridor associated with the proposed
utility will exceed the 10-foot limit you are required to modify your riparian buffer
impact notification/authorization request (pre-construction notification form), provide
maps and information detailing why impacts must exceed the, 10-foot threshold.

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT (FNSI)
Title VI of the amended Clean Water Act requires the review and approval of environmental
information prior to the construction of publicly-owned wastewater treatment facilities financed
by the State Revolving Fund (SRF). The proposed project has been evaluated for compliance
with the North Carolina Environmental Policy Act and determined to be a major agency action
which will affect the environment.
Project Applicant: Johnston County, North Carolina
Project Number: CS370560-07
Project Description: The proposed actions consist of 1) a Phase I project to upgrade and
expand the Johnston County regional treatment plant from the
permitted capacity of 4.99 to 7.00 mgd, 2) a solids dewatering facility
to be constructed at the county landfill, 3) a Phase I and II wastewater
reuse program to serve several users, 4) transport facilities to divert the
collected Cleveland area flow from the town of Clayton's treatment
plant to Johnston County's wastewater treatment plant, 5)
rehabilitating two major interceptors (Buffalo Creek and Neuse River)
that convey flows to the regional treatment plant, and 6) installing
parallel force mains along the Neuse River to provide additional
capacity for projected future flow increases.
Total Project Cost: $31,275,000
Clean Water Management Trust Fund: $ 3,800,000
State Revolving Loan: $21,500,000
Local Share: $ 5,975,000
The review process did not indicate significant adverse environmental impacts would result from
implementing the proposed project, and an environmental impact statement (EIS) will not be
required. The decision was based on information in the facilities plan, a public hearing
document, and reviews by governmental agencies. An environmental assessment supporting this
action is attached. This FNSI completes the environmental review record, which is available for
inspection at the State Clearinghouse.
No administrative action will be taken on the proposed project for at least thirty days after
notification that the FNSI has been published in the North Carolina Environmental Bulletin.
Sincerely,
Kerr T. Stevens, Director
Division of Water Quality
Issue,
please included the following condition:
- A requirement of this authorization and of the Neuse Riparian Buffer Rules (15A
NCAC 02B .0233) is that non-electric underground utilities have equal to or less than a
10 foot wide maintenance corridor. If the maintenance corridor associated with the
proposed utility will exceed the 10 foot limit you are required to modify your riparian
buffer impact notification/authorization request (pre-construction notification form),
provide maps and information detailing why impacts must exceed the 10 foot threshold.
