The project shall be constructed in accordance with your application dated received March 9, 2007. for the purpose of the
widening and paving of, and pipe replacement on SR 1953 in Beaufort County. After reviewing your application, we have
decided that these impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3627. This certification corresponds
to Nationwide Permit 14, issued by the Corps of Engineers. This approval is also valid for the Tar-Pamiico River Buffer
Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0259). In addition, you should acquire any other federal, state or local permits before you proceed
with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed
regulations. This approval will expire with the accompanying 404 permit issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers (this

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 DWQ 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 total impacts to streams or buffers (now o(hrj (the
future) exceed 1501inear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 6 and (7).
For this approval to remain valid, you must adhere to the conditions listed in the attached certification.
1.) Upon completion of the project, the NCDOT Division Engineer shall complete and return the enclosed "Certification of
Completion Form" to notify DWQ when all work included in the 401 Certification has been completed.
2.) The permittee and its authorized agents shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with State water quality
standards (including any requirements resulting from compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act) and any other
appropriate requirements of State and Federal law. If DWQ 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 fiirther
conditions are necessary to assure compliance, DWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification.
3.) If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact between curing
concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to surface waters
due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills.

4.) Placement of culverts and other structwes in waters, streams, and wetlands shall be placed below the elevation of the
streambed by one 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. Design and
placement of culverts and other structures including temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a
manner that may result in dis-equilibrium of wetlands or streambeds or banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream
of the above structures. The applicant is required to provide evidence that the equilibrium is being. maintained if
requested in writing by DWQ. If this condition is unable to be met due to bedrock or other limiting features encountered
during construction, please contact the NC DWQ for guidance on how to proceed and to determine whether or not a
permit modification will be required.
5.) 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 MarTUal.
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.
6.) 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.
7.) 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.
8.) All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP measures from the most
current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities manual such as sandbags, rock berms, cofferdams
9.) The use of rip-rap above the Normal High Water Mazk shall be minimized. Any rip-rap placed for stream stabilization
shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage.
10.) 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.
11.) 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.
12.) No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel except where authorized by this certification.
13.) Dischazging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
prohibited.
14.) All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise authorized
by this certification..
15.) The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor approved by this authorization
shall be cleazly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities. Impacts to areas within the
fencing aze prohibited unless otherwise authorized by this certification.
16.) Native riparian vegetation must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing
season following completion of construction.
17.) 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 be located in wetlands or streams, compensatory
mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction activities.
18.) All stormwater runoff shall be directed as sheetflow through stream buffers at nonerosive velocities, unless otherwise
approved by this certification.
19.) Pursuant to NCACISA 2B .0259(6), sediment and erosion control devices shall not be placed in Zone 1 of any Taz-
Pamlico Buffer without prior approval by the NCDWQ. At this time, the NCDWQ 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.
20.) All riparian buffers impacted by the placement of temporary fill or 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 azeas within the transportation corridor that will be subject to regulaz DOT maintenance
activities including mowing. The azea with non-maintained buffers shall be permanently revegetated, with native woody
species before the next growing season following completion of construction.
21.) A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be maintained on site at 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.

This General Certification is issued in conformity with the requirements of Section 401,
Public Laws 92-500 and 95-217 of the United States and subject to the North Carolina Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) Regulations in 15A NCAC 2H, Section .0500 and 15A NCAC 2B .0200 for
the discharge of fill material to waters and adjacent wetland areas or to wetland areas that are not
a part of the surface tributary system to interstate waters or navigable waters of the United States
(i.e., isolated wetlands) as described in 33 CFR 330 Appendix A (B) (14) of the Corps of
Engineers regulations (Nationwide Permit No. 14 and Regional General Permit 198200031) and
for the Riparian Area Protection Rules (Buffer Rules) in 15A NCAC 26 .0200. The category of
activities shall include any fill activity for road crossings and is limited to fill less than one-third
acre in tidal waters and less than one-half acre in non-tidal waters. This Certification replaces
Water Quality Cert~cation Number 2177 issued on November 5, 1987, Water Quality Certification
Number 2666 issued on January 21, 1992, Water Quality Certification Number 2732 issued on
May 1, 1992, Water Quality Certification Number 3103 issued on Febniary 11, 1997, Water
Quality Certification Number 3289 issued on June 1, 2000 and Water Quality Certification
Number 3375 issued March 18, 2002 and WQC 3404 issued March 28, 2003. This WQC is
rescinded when the Corps of Engineers re-authorizes Nationwide Permit 14 or Regional General
Permit 198200031 or when deemed appropriate by the Director of DWQ.
The State of North Carolina certifies that the specified category of activity will not violate
applicable portions of Sections 301, 302, 303, 30fi and 307 of the Public Laws 92-500 and 95-217
if conducted in accordance with the conditions hereinafter set forth.
Conditions of Certification:
1. Enumerating and Reporting of Impacts:
Streams -Impacts to streams as determined by the Division of Water Quality shall be
measured as length of the centerline of the normal flow channel. Permanent and/or
twmnnrarv StrQam impacts shall be enumerated on the entire project for all impacts
regardless of which 404 Nationwide Permits are used. Stream relocations and stream
bed and/or bank hardening are considered to be permanent stream impacts. Any
activity that results in a loss of use of stream functions including but not limited to
filling, relocating, flooding, dredging and complete shading shall be considered
stream impacts. Enumeration of impacts to streams shall include streams enclosed
by bottomless culverts, bottomless arches or other spanning structures when a 404
Permit is used anywhere in a project unless the entire structure (including
construction impacts) spans the entire bed and both banks of the stream, is only
used for a road, driveway or path crossing, and is not mitered to follow the stream
pattern, Impacts for dam footprints and flooding will count toward the threshold for
stream impacts, but flooding upstream of the dam will not (as long as no filling,
excavation, relocation or other modification of the exis#ing stream dimension, pattern
or profile occurs) count towards mitigation requirements.
Wetlands -Impacts to wetlands as determined by the Division of Water Quality shall
be measured as area. Permanent and/or temporary wetland impacts shall be
enumerated on the entire project for all impacts regardless of which 404 Nationwide
Permits are used. Any activity that results in a loss of use of wetland functions
including but not limited to filling, draining, and flooding shall be considered wetland
impacts. Enumeration of impacts to wetlands shall include activities that change the
hydrology of a wetland when a 404 Permit is used anywhere in a project.
WQC #3627
• La es and Ponds -Lake and Pond Impacts Enumeration- Impacts to waters other..
measured as area. Permanent and/or temporary water. impacts shall be enumerated
on the entire project for all impacts proposed regardless of which 404 Nationwide
Permits are used. Any activity that results in a loss of use of aquatic functions
including but not limited to filling and dredging shall be considered waters impacts;
2. Proposed fill or substantial modification of wetlands or waters (including streams) under
this General Certification requires application to and prior written concurrence from the
Division of Water Quality;
3. Application to and payment of a fee to DWQ is not required for construction of a driveway
to a single family Ivt as long as the driveway impacts less than 25 feet of stream channel
including any in-stream stabilization needed for the crossing;
4. Impacts to any stream length in the Neuse, Tar-Pamlico or Randleman River Basins (or
any other major river basins with Riparian Area Protection Rules [Buffer Rules] in effect at
the time of application) requires written concurrence for this Certification from DWQ in
accordance with 15A NCAC 26.0200. Activities listed as "exempt" from these rules do not
need to apply for written concurrence under this Certification. New development activities
located in the protected 50-foot wide riparian areas (whether jurisdictional wetlands or not)
within the Neuse and Tar-Pamlico River Basins shall be limited to "uses° identified within
and constructed in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B .0200. All new development shall be
located, designed, constructed, and maintained to have minimal disturbance to protect
water quality to the maximum extent practicable through the use of best management
practices;
5. Irrespective of other application thresholds in this General Certification, all impacts to
perennial waters and their associated buffers require written approval from DWQ since
such impacts are allowable as provided in 15A NCAC 2B. 0212 tWS-I), 2B .0213 (WS-II),
26.0214 (WS-III) and 2B .0215 (WS-IV}. Only water dependent activities, public projects
and structures with diminimus increases in impervious surfaces will be allowed as outlined
in those rules. All other activities require a variance from the delegated local government
and/or the NC Environmental Management Commission before the 401 Water Quality
Certification can be processed. In addition, a 30 foot wide vegetative buffer for low
density development or a i~u loot wide vegetative ouiTer for sign density aeveiopment
must be maintained adjacent to all perennial waters except for allowances as provided
under the Water Supply Watershed Protection Rules. For the purposes of this condition,
perennial waters are defined as those shown as perennial waters on the most recent
USGS 1:24,000 topographic map or as otherwise determined by local government
studies;
6. Additional site-specific stormwater management requirements may be added to this
Certification at DWQ's discretion on a case by case basis for projects that have or are
anticipated to have impervious cover of greater than 30 percent. Site-spec'~c stormwater
management shall be designed to remove 85% TSS according to the latest version of
DWQ's stormwater Best Management Practices manual at a minimum.
Additionally, in watersheds within one mile and draining to 303(d) listed waters, as well as
watersheds that are classified as nutrient sensitive waters (NSW}, water supply waters
(WS), trout waters (Tr), high quality waters (HQW), and outstanding resource waters
(ORW), the Division shall require that extended detention wetlands, bio-retention areas,
and ponds followed by forested filter strips (designed according to latest version of the NC
DENR stormwater Best Management Practices Manual) be constructed as part of the
stormwater management plan when asite-specific stormwater management plan is
required.

e basis by the Division of Water Quality.
cas ~ ~ ^-
Approval of stormwater management plans by the Division of Water Quality's other
existing state stormwater programs including appropriate local programs are sufficient to
satisfy this Condition as long as the stormwater management plans meet or exceed the
design requirements specified in this condition. This condition applies unless more
stringent requirements are in effect from other state water quality programs.
• Unless specified otherwise in the approval letter, the final, written stormwater
management plan shall be approved in writing by the Division of Water Quality's
Wetlands Unit before the impacts specified in this Certification occur.
• The facilities must be designed to treat the. runoff from the entire project, unless
otherwise explicitly approved by the Division of Water Quality.
• Also, before any permanent building or other structure is occupied at the subject site,
the facilities (as approved by the Wetlands Unit) shall be constructed and operational,
and the stormwater management plan (as approved by the Wetlands Unit) shall be
implemented.
• The structural stormwater practices as approved by the Wetlands Unitas well as
drainage patterns must be maintained in perpetuity.
• No changes to the structural stormwater practices shall be made without written
authorization from the Division of Water Quality.
7. Compensatory stream mitigation shall be required at a 1:1 ratio for not only perennial but
also intermittent stream impacts that require application to DWQ in watersheds classified
as ORW, HQW, Tr, WS-I and WS-II unless the project is a linear, publicly-funded
transportation project, which has a 150-foot per-stream impact allowance;
8. In accordance with North Carolina General Statute Section 143-215.3D(e), any
application fora 401 Water Quality Certification must include the appropriate fee.
If a project also requires a CAMA Permit, one payment to both agencies shall be
submitted through the Division of Coastal Management and will be the higher of the two
fees;
9. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) compensatory mitigation may be required for
impacts to 1501inear feet or more of streams and/or one acre or more of wetlands. For
linear public transportation projects, impacts equal to or exceeding 150 feet per stream
may require mitigation. In addition, buffer mitigation may be required for any project with
Buffer Rules in effect at the time of application for buffer impacts resulting from activities
classified as "allowable with mitigation" within the'Table of Uses" section of the Buffer
Rules or require a variance under the Buffer Rules. A determination of buffer, wetland
and stream mitigation requirements shall be made for any Certification for this Nationwide
Permit. The most current design and monitoring protocols from DWQ shall be followed
and written plans submitted for DWQ approval as required in those protocols. When
compensatory mitigation is required for a project, the mitigation plans must be approved
by DWQ in writing before the impacts approved by the Certification occur, unless
otherwise specified in the approval letter. The mitigation plan must be implemented and/or
constructed before any permanent building or structure on site is occupied. In the case
of public road projects, the mitigation plan must be implemented before the road is
opened to the travelling public. Projects may also be implemented once payment is made
to a private mitigation bank or other in-lieu fee program, as specified in the written
concurrence of 401 Certification for a project. Please note that if a stream relocation is
conducted as a stream restoration as defined in The Internal Technical Guide for Stream
Work in North Carolina ,April 2001, the restored length can be used as compensatory
mitigation for the impacts resulting from the relocation;
WQC #3627
10. For any project involving re-alignment of streams, a stream relocation plan must be
included with the 401 application for written DWQ approval. Relocated stream designs
should include the same dimensions, patterns and profiles as the existing channel, to the
maximum extent practical. The new channel should be constructed in the dry and water
shall not be turned into the new channel until the banks are stabilized. Vegetation used for
bank stabilization shall be limited to native woody species, and should include
establishment of a 30 foot wide wooded and an adjacent 20 foot wide vegetated buffer on
both sides of the relocated channel to the maximum extent practical. A transitional phase
incorporating coir fiber and seedling establishment is aAowable. Also, rip-rap may be
allowed if it is necessary to maintain the physical integrity of the stream, but the applicant
must provide written justification and any calculations used to determine the extent of rip-
rap coverage requested. If suitable stream mitigation is not practical on-site, then stream
impact will need to be mitigated elsewhere;
11. Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams, and wetlands must be
placed below the elevation of the streambed to allow low flow passage of water and
aquatic life unless it can be shown to DWQ that providing passage would be impractical.
Design and placement of culverts including open bottom or bottomless arch culverts and
other structures including temporary erosion control measures shat{ not be conducted in a
manner that may result in aggradation, degradation or significant changes in hydrology of
wetlands or stream beds or banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above
structures. The applicant is required to provide evidence that the equilibrium shall be
maintained if requested to do so in writing by DWQ. 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
aggradation, degradation or significant changes in hydrology of streams or wetlands;
12. That appropriate sediment and erosion control practices which equal or exceed those
outlined in the most recent version of the "North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control
Planning and Design Manual" or the "North Carolina Surface Mining Manual" whichever is
more appropriate (available from the Division of Land Resources (DLR) in the DENR
Regional or Central Offices) shall be in full compliance with all specifications governing
the proper design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management
Practices in order to assure compliance with the appropriate turbidity water quality
standard;
13. All sediment and erosion control measures placed in wetlands and waters shall be
removed and the original grade restored within two months after the Division of Land
Resources has released the project;
14. That additional site-specific conditions may be added to projects proposed under this
Certification in order to ensure compliance with all applicable water quality and effluent
standards;
15. Measures shall be taken to prevent live or fresh concrete from coming into contact with
freshwaters of the state until the concrete has hardened;
16. If an environmental document is required, this Certification is not valid until a Finding of
No Significant Impact (FONSI) or Record of Decision (ROD} is issued by the State
Clearinghouse;
17. If this Certification is used to access building sites, all Tots owned by the applicant must be
buildable without additional fill beyond that explicitly allowed under other General
WQC #3627
Certifications. For road construction purposes, this Cert~cation shall only be utilized from
natural high ground to natural high ground;
18. When written concurrence is required, the applicant is required to use the most recent
version of the Certification of Completion form to notify DWQ when all work included in the
401 Certification has been completed;
19. Concurrence from DWQ that this Certification applies to an individual project shall expire
three years from the date of the cover letter from DWQ or on the same day as the
expiration date of the corresponding Nationwide Permit 14 or Regional General Permit
198200031, whichever is sooner..
Non-compliance with or violation of the conditions herein set forth by a specific fill project
may result in revocation of this Certification for the project and may also result in criminal and/or
civil penalties.
The Director of the North Carolina Division of Water Quality may require submission of a
formal application for Individual Certification for any project in this category of activity that
requires written concurrence under this certification, if it is determined that the project is likely to
have a significant adverse effect upon water quality or degrade the waters so that existing uses of
the wetland or downstream waters are precluded.
Public hearings may be held for specific applications or group of applications prior to a
Certification decision if deemed in the public's best interest by the Director of the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality.
