Subject Property: Bachelors Delight Stream and Wetland Mitigation Bank, Richlands
Approval of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Messrs. Taylor and Catts:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to
construct/restore streams and wetlands for the purpose of constructing a mitigation bank, as described
within your Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) dated December 21, 2010 and received by the Division
of Water Quality (DWQ) Wilmington Regional Office (WiRO) on January 6, 2011. After reviewing
your application, we have decided that the impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification
Number 3689 (GC 3689). The Certification allows you to use the Nationwide 27 (NW 27) permit when
issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers. 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 Permit.
This approval is for the purpose and design that you described in your application and in your approved
mitigation Banking instrument (MBI). The approved plans and specifications for this project are
incorporated by reference and are an enforceable part of the permit. If you change your project, you
must notify us and you may be required to 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. 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.

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 application. 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. Please notify DWO ifANY turbidity issues arise during this
proiect at 910.796.7215.
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

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.

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 law and federal law. 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 to include conditions appropriate to assure
compliance with such standards and requirements in accordance with 15A NCAC 21-1.05 07(d).
Before modifying the Certification, the Division shall notify Mr. Taylor Downey of WREDCO and
Mr. Glenn Catts of NCSFF and the US Army Corps of Engineers, provide public notice in
accordance with 15A NCAC 21-1.0503 and provide opportunity for public hearing in accordance

Downey of WREDCO and Mr. Glenn Catts of NCSFF in writing, shall be provided to the United
States Army Corps of Engineers for reference in any Permit issued pursuant to Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act, and shall also become conditions of the 404 Permit for the project;
