APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Holmes:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill in 0.10 acre of wetlands in order to
construct a residence on your lot in Dare County, as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality
on September 2, 2003, and in additional correspondence received September 24 and October 28, 2003. After reviewing
your application, we have decided that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3402, which can be
viewed on our web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands . This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit
Number 18 when issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. 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 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 in writing and you may be required to send us a new application for a new certification. If the
property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the 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). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the
conditions listed in the attached certification and the additional conditions listed below:
1. Upon completion of the project, the Applicant shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of Completion" form
to notify NCDWQ when all 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 NC Division of Water Quality upon
completion of the project;
2. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design,
installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect surface waters
standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control
Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures must be
such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina
Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow
sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the
project.
c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.

WATFR QUALITY SECTION
In response to your request for further information in your letter dated October 9, 2003 we arc providing
the following information.
Army Corps Issuance: Prior to applying for the re-authorization of this fill permit, we talked to Mr. Tom
Walker of the Washington Regulatory Field Office. Mr. Walker responded that he would be willing to re-
authorize the previously issued Nationwide Permit #18 for Mr. Holmes. He is not running the full federal
consistency process since the fill area was previously issued and the wetland loss is already accounted for.
He stated that re-issuance of the 401 water quality Certification was the only outstanding approval required
for his re-authorization of the previously filled area. The previously filled area was in conjunction with the
lot to the cast of the property (which Mr. Holmes no longer owns).
Mr. Walker preferred that Mr. Holmes apply for the fill permit prior to subdividing the lot to prevent
additional fill requests. By recording the conservation casement, any future fill requests could be denied.
Septic permit: The proposed site plan was drawn for the applicant subsequent to requests by USACE and
NCDWQ for development site plans.
The proposed septic systems area have not been applied for or approved by the Dare County Health
Department. The reason for the fill request is to provide adequate setbacks so that the septic determinations
can be made to precisely determine septic system size and layout. The fill for the two proposed lots will
afford adequate area for the modest sized residences and septic systems. The septic systems will not be
allowed within the proposed fill area and will be placed as far away from remaining wetlands as possible.
Please do not hesitate top call our office if you have any questions or comments.
Sincerely,
Kendall Turnage

CERTIFIED MAIL: RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
Mr. Bill Holmes
176 South Halifax Drive
Ormond Beach, FL, 32176
Dear Mr. Holmes:
On September 2 and September 24, 2003, the NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your
application materials for a 401 Water Quality Certification for wetland impacts associated with the construction of
two residences on Lot 1 (including Lots 1 A and 1 B) in Dare County. Insufficient information has been provided
in order for us to complete our review. Specifically, please provide the following materials so that we can
complete our review of your application with respect to avoidance and minimization of wetland impacts:
Please provide copies of the current approved septic permits for these lots. These permits are needed to
demonstrate viability of the proposed construction within the site constraints.
The site plan included with the first submittal shows an undeveloped parcel with 4,328 acre of previously
filled wetlands, in addition to 4,334 acre of additional fill proposed. Please advise whether the Corps of
Engineers will allow use of a second Nationwide 18 Permit for the same site, or if this work will be permitted
under another Nationwide Permit accounting for cumulative impacts.
Please send this information to John Dorney, 401 /Wetlands Unit, 2321 Crabtree Blvd., Raleigh, NC, 27604-
2260 and to Tom Steffens, DWQ Washington Regional Office, 1424 Carolina Avenue, Washington, NC, 27889.
Until the information requested in this letter is provided, I will request (by copy of this letter) that the Corps of
Engineers place this project on hold. Also, this project will be placed on hold for our processing due to
incomplete information (15A NCAC 2H .0507(h)).
Thank you for your attention. If you have any questions, please contact Tom Steffens in our Washington
Regional Office at 252-946-6481 or Cyndi Karoly in our Central Office in Raleigh at [phone].

were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
This fill request was originally issued and the fill was never completed
The attached site plan shows the area to be filled on the parcel The parcel will then be
subdivided and residential housing will eventually constructed on the lots The conservation
easements will permanently conserve the remaining wetlands even after the sale
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.
Page 5 of 8
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. Ally 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.
Conservation easement (to the NCWRP) to be placed on all remaining wetlands on the
parcel, prior to fill activities.
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 httn://h2o.cnr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If
use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide
