This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified
below). Should your project change, you must notify the NCDWQ and submit 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 the conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in
the future) exceed one acre, or of total impacts to streams (now or in the future) exceed 150 linear feet,
compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this
approval to remain valid, you must adhere to the conditions listed in the attached certification(s) and any
additional conditions listed below.
Additional Condition(s) of Certification:
1. You have indicated an impervious surface area of 0 % in the PCN Application dated received by
the Winston Salem Regional office November 23, 2010 with additional information dated
received December 14, 2010 and approved by this written 401 Water Quality Certification. You
are reminded that if a compliance inspection determines that you have triggered Condition No.
12 in GC No. 3821, you will be required to develop, submit for DWQ approval, and implement
Stormwater Management Plans. The stormwater management plan must include construction
plans, specifications, stormwater BMP worksheets, and supporting calculations. The stormwater
best management practices are required to be appropriate for the surface water classification and
designed to remove at least 85% TSS according to the most recent version of the NC DENR
Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual.
2. The log sill structures installed at the inlet and outlet of the pipe at site S2 shall be visually
monitored twice annually for a period of three years for stability with monitoring reports
submitted to the DWQ. If at any point these structures become unstable, the DWQ shall be
contacted to discuss appropriate corrective measures. At the end of three years, the DWQ shall
be invited to a close out meeting to determine the success of the restoration activities. If the log
sill structures are not stable, then mitigation or additional monitoring will be required for the
impacted area.
3. Where placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and/or waters is
unavoidable at site W2, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored upon approval from
the Division of Land Resources.
4. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality
within 24 hours of discovery.
If you wish to contest any statement in the attached Certification you must file a petition for an
administrative hearing. You may obtain the petition form from the office of Administrative hearings.
