velocities, unless otherwise approved by this certification. [15A NCAC 2B.0233]
7. There shall be no excavation from, or waste disposal into, jurisdictional wetlands or waters
associated with this permit without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites,
or access roads to waste or borrow sites, be located in wetlands or streams, compensatory
mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction activities. [15A
NCAC 02H.0506(b)(3) and (c)(3)]
8. Upon completion of the project, all temporary wetland impact areas will be restored to pre -
construction contours and replanted as indicated in the modification request received by the
Division on September 12, 2016. [15A NCAC 02H .0506 (b)(2) and (c)(2)]
9. All riparian buffers impacted by the placement of temporary fill or temporary clearing
activities shall be restored to the preconstruction contours and revegetated. Maintained
buffers shall be permanently revegetated with non -woody species by the end of the growing
season following completion of construction. For the purpose of this condition, maintained
buffer areas are defined as areas within the transportation corridor that will be subject to
regular NCDOT maintenance activities including mowing. The areas with non -maintained
buffers in the approved Temporary Impact square footage shall be restored to
preconstruction contours and permanently revegetated with native woody species before
the next growing season following completion of construction. [15A NCAC 2B.0233]
10. Native riparian vegetation must be reestablished in the riparian areas within the construction
limits of the project by the end of the growing season following completion of construction.
[15A NCAC 02B.0233(10)1
11. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water
Resources within 24 hours of discovery. [15A NCAC 02B.0506(b)(2)]
12. No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas
beyond the footprint of the impacts depicted in the Pre -Construction Notification for this
project. All construction activities, including the design, installation, operation, and
maintenance of sediment and erosion control Best Management Practices shall be
performed so that no violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur.

governing the proper design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best
Management Practices. If applicable, the project must comply with the specific conditions
and requirements of the NPDES Construction Stormwater Permit issued to the site and the
following requirements [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(3) and (c)(3) and 15A NCAC 02H
.1305(d)(3)]:
a. 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.
b. 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.
Reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in
accordance with the requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act and the
Mining Act of 1971.
d. Sufficient materials required for stabilization and/or repair of erosion control
measures and stormwater routing and treatment shall be on site at all times.
14. Notwithstanding temporary impacts approved at Impact Areas #2, 3, 4, 9, 10, and 11,
sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters.
Exceptions to this condition beyond those approved by this Certification require application
submittal to and written approval by the Division. Design and placement of temporary
erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in dis-
equilibrium of wetlands, stream beds, or banks, adjacent to or upstream and downstream of
the above structures. All sediment and erosion control devices shall be removed and the
natural grade restored within two (2) months of the date that the Division of Energy, Mineral
and Land Resources (DEMLR) or locally delegated program has released the specific area
within the project. [15A NCAC 02H .0501 and .0502 and 15A NCAC 02H .1301 and .13021

15. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0233(9)(6), sediment and erosion control devices shall not be
placed in Zone 1 of any Neuse Buffer without prior approval by the NCDWR. At this time, the
NCDWR has approved no sediment and erosion control devices in Zone 1, outside of the
approved project impacts, anywhere on this project. Moreover, sediment and erosion
control devices shall be allowed in Zone 2 of the buffers provided that Zone 1 is not
compromised and that discharge is released as diffuse flow.
16. Construction Stormwater Permit NCG010000
An NPDES Construction Stormwater Permit is required for construction projects that disturb
one (1) or more acres of land. This Permit allows stormwater to be discharged during land
disturbing construction activities as stipulated in the conditions of the permit. If your project
is covered by this permit, full compliance with permit conditions including the erosion &
sedimentation control plan, inspections and maintenance, self -monitoring, record keeping
and reporting requirements is required. A copy of the general permit (NCG010000),
inspection log sheets, and other information may be found at:
http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/ws/su/npdessw#tab-w. 15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(5) and
(c)(5) and 15A NCAC 02H .1305(d)(5)]
17. Work in the Dry
All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted so that the flowing stream does
not come in contact with the disturbed area. Approved best management practices from the
most current version of the NC Sediment and Erosion Control Manual, or the NC DOT
Construction and Maintenance Activities Manual, such as sandbags, rock berms, cofferdams,
and other diversion structures shall be used to minimize excavation in flowing water. [15A
NCAC 02H .0506(b)(3) and (c)(3) and 15A NCAC 02H .1305(d)(3)]
18. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel in order
to minimize sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream.
[15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(3)]
19. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and
maintained to prevent contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids,
or other toxic materials. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(3)]
20. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel except where
authorized by this certification. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(3)]
21. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or
adjacent to surface waters is prohibited. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(3)]
22. For any streams being impacted due to site dewatering activities, the site shall be graded to its
preconstruction contours and revegetated with appropriate native species. [15A NCAC
02H.0506(b)(2)]

23. During the construction of the project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in
waters of the U.S., or protected riparian buffers. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(2)]
24. If concrete is used during the construction, then all necessary measures shall be taken to
prevent direct contact between uncured or curing concrete and waters of the state. Water
that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to waters of the state
due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life/fish kills. [15A NCAC 02B .0200]
25. Placement of Culverts and Other Structures in Waters and Wetlands [15A NCAC 02H
.0506(b)(2) and (c)(2) and 15A NCAC 02H .1305(d)(4)]
Culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream
profiles are not altered and to allow for aquatic life movement during low flows. Existing
stream dimensions (including the cross section dimensions, pattern and longitudinal profile)
must be maintained above and below locations of each culvert.
Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams must be below the elevation of
the streambed by one (1) foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48 inches, and 20
percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than 48 inches, to allow low
flow passage of water and aquatic life.
Installation of culverts in wetlands must ensure continuity of water movement and be designed
to adequately accommodate high water or flood conditions. Additionally, when roadways,
causeways, or other fill projects are constructed across FEMA-designated floodways or
wetlands, openings such as culverts or bridges must be provided to maintain the natural
hydrology of the system as well as prevent constriction of the floodway that may result in
destabilization of streams or wetlands.
The establishment of native, woody vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization
techniques must be used where practicable instead of rip rap or other bank hardening
methods.
26. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream above and below the crossing shall not be
modified. Disturbed floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic
conditions. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(2)]
27. Any riprap required for proper culvert placement, stream stabilization, or restoration of
temporarily disturbed areas shall be restricted to the area directly impacted by the approved
construction activity. All riprap shall be buried and/or "keyed in" such that the original stream
elevation and streambank contours are restored and maintained. Placement of riprap or other
approved materials shall not result in de -stabilization of the stream bed or banks upstream or
downstream of the area. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(2)]
Novo Nordisk Pharmaceutical Industries, Inc.
DWR# 07-0173 v5
Individual Certification #4051 & IWP000005
Page 10 of 11
28. Any riprap used for stream stabilization shall be of a size and density to prevent movement by
wave action, current action, or stream flows and consist of clean rock or masonry material free
of debris or toxic pollutants. Riprap shall not be installed in the streambed except in specific
areas required for velocity control and to ensure integrity of bank stabilization measures. [15A
NCAC 02H .0506(b)(2)]
29. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1,
unless otherwise authorized by this certification. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(2)]
30. A one-time application of fertilizer to re-establish vegetation is allowed in disturbed areas
including riparian buffers, but is restricted to no closer than 10 feet from top of bank of
streams. Any fertilizer application must comply with all other Federal, State and Local
regulations. [15A NCAC 02B .0233(6) and 15A NCAC 02B .0231]
31. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the
permit drawings submitted for approval. [15A NCAC 02H .0507 (c) and 15A NCAC 02H .0506
(b)(2) and (c)(2)]
32. A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be maintained on the Gordon Road Access
portion of the construction site at all times. In addition, the Water Quality Certification and all
subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the Division Engineer and the on -
site project manager. [15A NCAC 02H .0507(c) and 15A NCAC 02H .0506 (b)(2) and (c)(2)]
33. The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor of the
Gordon Road Access portion of the project approved by this authorization, including all non-
commercial borrow and waste sites associated with the project, shall be clearly marked by
highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities. Impacts to areas within the fencing
are prohibited unless otherwise authorized by this certification. [15A NCAC 02H.0501 and
.0502]
34. This Certification does not relieve the applicant of the responsibility to obtain all other
required Federal, State, or Local approvals.
35. Continuing Compliance
Mr. Gary Lohr, Novo Nordisk Pharmaceutical Industries, Inc. and the NCDOT shall conduct
construction activities in a manner consistent with State water quality standards (including any
requirements resulting from compliance with section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act) and any
other appropriate requirements of State and Federal law. [15A NCAC 02B .0200] If the
Division determines that such standards or laws are not being met (including the failure to
sustain a designated or achieved use) or that State or federal law is being violated, or that
further conditions are necessary to assure compliance, the Division may reevaluate and modify
this Certification. Before modifying the Certification, the Division shall notify Mr. Gary Lohr,
