Permit Modification of 401 Water Quality Certification
with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Scott:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to
permanently impact an additional 15 linear feet of perennial stream for a total of 35 linear feet of
perennial stream impacts and 0.029 acres of wetlands for the purpose of accessing the 14th and 15th
fairways, as described within your application dated August 13, 2009 and received by the
Wilmington Regional office (WiRO) on August 18, 2009 and appropriate fees on December 21,
2009. After reviewing your application, it has been determined that the impacts are covered by
General Water Quality Certification Number 3705 (GC3705). The Certifications allow you to use
Nationwide Permit 39 modification when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE) provided that you can meet all of the conditions of the certification. This
modification does not preclude the conditions of the 401 Certification issued on December 4, 2007.
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,
Non-discharge, and stormwater regulations. Also, this approval to proceed with your proposed impacts
or to conduct impacts to waters as depicted in your application shall expire upon expiration of the 404 or
CAMA Permit.
This approval is for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you change
your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application. Additional
wetland impacts that may cause the impacts to exceed the 0.5 acre threshold will be required to be
submitted as an Individual Permit 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). This
approval requires you to follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional
conditions listed on the following pages.

Previously Approved 201f perennial stream
Additional impacts 15 if perennial stream See attached drawing Impact area 3
Total impacts 35 if perennial stream
2. Sedimentation and Erosion Control
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.
3. No Waste, Spoil, Solids, or Fill of Any Kind
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. 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.

4. No Sediment & Erosion Control Measures w/n Wetlands or Waters
Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the
maximum extent practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands
and waters is unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored within six
months of the date that the Division of Land Resources has released the project.
5. Construction Stormwater Permit NCGO10000
Upon the approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan issued by the Division of Land
Resources (DLR) or a DLR delegated local erosion and sedimentation control program, an
NPDES General stormwater permit (NCGO10000) administered by DWQ is automatically issued
to the project. This General Permit allows stormwater to be discharged during land disturbing
construction activities as stipulated by conditions in the permit. If your project is covered by
this permit [applicable to construction projects that disturb one (1) or more acres], full
compliance with permit conditions including the sedimentation control plan, self-
monitoring, record keeping and reporting requirements are required. A copy of this permit
and monitoring report forms may be found at
http: //h2o. enr.state. nc. us/su/Forms Documents. htm .
6. Culvert Installation
Culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the downstream and
upstream profiles are not altered. Culverts shall be designed and installed to allow for aquatic
life movement as well as to prevent head cutting of the streams. If any of the existing pipes are
or become perched, the appropriate stream grade shall be re-established or, if the pipes installed
in a perched manner, the pipes shall be removed and re-installed correctly.
7. Turbidity Standard
The turbidity standard of 50 NTUs (Nephelometric Turbidity Units) shall not be exceeded as
described in 15 A NCAC 2B..0211(k). Appropriate sediment and erosion control practices must be
used to meet this standard.
8. Deed Notifications and/or Restrictions
A recorded copy of Deed notifications as required by the State or a recorded copy of the
restrictive covenants or easements required by the US Army Corps of Engineers and the
associated preservation map approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington
Regulatory Office must be submitted to this Office and to the 401 Oversight and Express Unit in
Raleigh. These mechanisms shall be put in place prior to the implementation of this permit.
