APPROVAUMODIFICATION of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Holder:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to temporarily
impact an additional IS linear feet (If) (for a temporary workbench) of First Broad River as described in permit
modification application received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on August 9, 2005. This modification
is being issued in addition to the original water quality certification dated May 16, 2005 and does not supersede
the original certification. The location of the project is State Road 1850 (Metcalf Road) in Cleveland County.
After reviewing your application, we have determined that this project is covered by Water Quality General
Certification Number 3495. This certification corresponds to Nationwide Permit 13 issued by the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers (USACE). Please note that you should get any other federal, state or local permits before
proceeding with your project, including those required by (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control,
Non-Discharge, and Water Supply Watershed regulations.
This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design that you described in your application (unless modified
below) and will expire with the associated USACE 404 permit unless otherwise specified in the Water Quality
Certification. Should your project change, you must notify the DWQ in writing and you may be required to
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 conditions. If total wetland fills for this project
(now or in the future) exceed one acre, or if 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 and those listed
below:
1. Riprap must not interfere with thalweg performance and aquatic life passage during low flow conditions.
2. The presence of equipment in the channel must be minimized. Under no circumstances must rock, sand or
other materials be dredged from the wetted stream channel.
3. Erosion and sediment control practices must utilize Best Management Practices (BMP) and be in full
compliance with all specifications governing the proper design, installation, and operation and maintenance of
such BMP in order to protect surface water standards:
a. 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 pit 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.
c. The reclamation measures and implementation of these measures must be in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
4. Heavy equipment must be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel, when possible, in
order to minimize sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into the stream.
5. Temporary dewatering sites must be restored to pre-existing conditions unless more natural geomorphic
conditions can be provided.
6. No live or fresh concrete shall come into contact with waters of the state until the concrete has hardened.
7. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream above and below the crossing should not be modified.
Disturbed floodplains and streams should be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
8. 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.
9. All work shall be performed during low or normal flow conditions.
10. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to
surface waters is prohibited.
11. 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 30 days after the Division of Land Resources has
released the project.
12. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) and its contractors and/or agents shall not
excavate, fill or perform mechanized land clearing at any time in the construction or maintenance of this
project within waters and/or wetlands, except as authorized by this Certification, or any modification to this
Certification (e.g., no work shall occur outside of the footprint of the plans provided). In addition, there shall
be no excavation from or waste disposal into jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this
Certification without appropriate modification. If this occurs, compensatory mitigation may be required since it
is a direct impact from road construction activities.
13. Upon completion of the project, the applicant shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" form to notify DWQ when all work included in the 401 Certification has been completed. Please
include photographs upstream and downstream of the structure to document correct installation.
14. Continuing Compliance. NCDOT shall conduct its activities in a manner so as not to contravene any state
water quality standard [including any requirements for compliance with section 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 further conditions are necessary to assure compliance, DWQ may reevaluate
and modify this certification to include conditions appropriate to assure compliance with such standards and
requirements in accordance with 15 A NCAC 2H.0507(d).
Page 3
Before codifying the certification, DWQ shall notify NCDOT and the USACE, provide public notice in
accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0503, and provide opportunity for public hearing in accordance with 15A
NCAC 2H.0504. Any new or revised conditions shall be provided to NCDOT in writing, shall be provided to
the USACE 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.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must
act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition that
conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714
Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless
you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If
you have any questions, please telephone Polly Lespinasse in the Mooresville Regional Office at 704-663-

SUBJECT: Modification for Temporary Workbench for Placement of Riprap Scour Protection/Stabilization
under Bridge #250, SR 1850 (Metcalf Road), Cleveland County; Action Id 200531765
Dear Mr. Lund:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation requests additional authorization to construct a 15 ft x 15 ft
temporary workbench install riprap protection at Bridge #250 on SR 1850 (Metcalf Road) in Cleveland County.
Due to topography constraints for equipment staging, it has been determined that a workbench is necessary.
Once the project is complete, the workbench will be removed and the area reshaped to natural contours. The
scope of the work will permanently impact 80 linear feet of streambank (as originally permitted) and will
temporarily impact 15 additional linear feet of the jurisdictional waters associated with First Broad River, which
is classified as WS-IV Waters by the Division of Water Quality.
A reference cross-section was surveyed at a point -160 feet upstream of the bridge in order to determine the
"normal" channel dimensions. The average stream width was determined to be -90 feet. As shown on the
bridge cross-section, the stream has overwidened at the bridge to a width of -120 feet; therefore, the placement
of the riprap in the area at Bent #I and Bent #4 will not interfere with stream flow and will narrow the stream
closer to its "normal" dimensions.
This office has conducted a GIS and field survey for this project and is recommending a finding of "no effect"
for T &E species and historical structures. The proposed project is located within a WS-IV watershed; however,
is not located within '/: mile of the critical watershed area; therefore, hazardous spill basins are not required.
Enclosed is the hazardous spill basin checklist.
Enclosed is a pre-construction notification for Nationwide 13 permit modification, a sketch of planned activities,
stream cross-sections, photographs of the site, and location maps relative to the project. If you have any
questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at (704) 480-9044. Thank you for your time and
consideration to this matter.

site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
The integrity of the bridge must be maintained for the safety of the travelling public. Riprap is
needed on the embankment under the bridge and around the bridge piles to provide stability and
to minimize future scour problems.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strm-gide.html.

This map is for use in administering the National Flood Insurance Program; it
does not necessarily identify all planimetric features outside Special Flood Hazard
Area or all areas subject to flooding, particularly from local drainage sources
of small size.
Areas of Special Flood Hazard (100-year flood) include cones, A, AE, Al-A30,
AH, AO, A99, V, VE and V1-V30. good control
Certain areas not in Special Flood Hazard Areas may be protected by
structures.
Boundaries of the floodways were computed at cross sections and interpolated
between cross sections. The floodways were based on hydraulic considerations
with regard to requirements of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Floodway widths in some areas may be too narrow to show to scale. Refer to
Floodway Data Table where floodway width is shown at 1/20 inch.
Coastal base flood elevations apply only landward of the shoreline.
This map incorporates approximate boundaries of coastal barriers established
under the Coastal Barrier Resources Act (PL 97-348).

APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Holder:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to permanently
impact 80 linear feet (If) of First Broad River (a perennial stream) with riprap to stabilize the stream bank and
provide protection to bridge bents as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality
(DWQ) on April 28, 2005. The location of the project is State Road 1850 (Metcalf Road) in Cleveland County.
After reviewing your application, we have determined that this project is covered by Water Quality General
Certification Number 3495. This certification corresponds to Nationwide Permit 13 issued by the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers (USACE). Please note that you should get any other federal, state or local permits before
proceeding with your project, including those required by (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control,
Non-Discharge, and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This approval will expire with the associated 404
permit unless otherwise specified in the Water Quality Certification.
This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design that you described in your application (unless modified
below). Should your project change, you must notify the DWQ in writing and you may be required to 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 conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in
the future) exceed one acre, or if total impacts to streams (now or in the future) exceed 150 linear feet,
compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 211.0506 (h)(6) and (7). For this approval
to remain valid, you must adhere to the conditions listed in the attached certification and those listed below:
1. Riprap must not interfere with thalweg performance and aquatic life passage during low flow conditions.
2. The presence of equipment in the channel must be minimized. Under no circumstances must rock, sand or
other materials be dredged from the wetted stream channel.
3. Erosion and sediment control practices must utilize Best Management Practices (BMP) and be in full
compliance with all specifications governing the proper design, installation, and operation and maintenance of
such BMP in order to protect surface water standards:
a. 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 pit sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or
leased borrow pits associated with the project.

Page 2
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.
c. The reclamation measures and implementation of these measures must be in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
4. Heavy equipment must be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel, when possible, in
order to minimize sedimentation and reduce the likelihood of introducing other pollutants into the stream.
5. Temporary dewatering sites must be restored to pre-existing conditions unless more natural geomorphic
conditions can be provided.
6. No live or fresh concrete shall come into contact with waters of the state until the concrete has hardened.
7. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream above and below the crossing should not be modified.
Disturbed floodplains and streams should be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
8. 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.
9. All work shall be performed during low or normal flow conditions.
10. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to
surface waters is prohibited.
11. 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 30 days after the Division of Land Resources has
released the project.
12. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) and its contractors and/or agents shall not
excavate, fill or perform mechanized land clearing at any time in the construction or maintenance of this
project within waters and/or wetlands, except as authorized by this Certification, or any modification to this
Certification (e.g., no work shall occur outside of the footprint of the plans provided). In addition, there shall
be no excavation from or waste disposal into jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this
Certification without appropriate modification. If this occurs, compensatory mitigation may be required since it
is a direct impact from road construction activities.
13. Upon completion of the project, the applicant shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" form to notify DWQ when all work included in the 401 Certification has been completed. Please
include photographs upstream and downstream of the structure to document correct installation.
14. Continuing Compliance. NCDOT shall conduct its activities in a manner so as not to contravene any state
water quality standard [including any requirements for compliance with section 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 further conditions are necessary to assure compliance, DWQ may reevaluate
and modify this certification to include conditions appropriate to assure compliance with such standards and
requirements in accordance with 15 A NCAC 2H.0507(d). Before codifying the certification, DWQ shall notify
NCDOT and the USACE, provide public notice in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0503, and provide
opportunity for public hearing in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0504.
Page 3
Any new or revised conditions shall be provided to NCDOT in writing, shall be provided to the USACE 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.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must
act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition that
conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714
Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless
you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If
you have any questions, please telephone Polly Lespinasse in the Mooresville Regional Office at 704-663-
1699.

SUBJECT: Riprap Scour Protection/Stabilization under Bridge #250, SR 1850 (Metcalf Road), Cleveland
County
Dear Mr. Lund:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation requests authorization to install riprap bank protection at
Bridge #250 on SR 1850 (Metcalf Road) in Cleveland County. The scope of the work will permanently impact
80 linear feet of streambank of the jurisdictional waters associated with First Broad River, which is classified as
WS-IV Waters by the Division of Water Quality.
A reference cross-section was surveyed at a point -160 feet upstream of the bridge in order to determine the
"normal" channel dimensions. The average stream width was determined to be -90 feet. As shown on the
bridge cross-section, the stream has overwidened at the bridge to a width of -120 feet; therefore, the placement
of the riprap in the area at Bent #1 and Bent #4 will not interfere with stream flow and will narrow the stream
closer to its "normal" dimensions.
This office has conducted a GIS and field survey for this project and is recommending a finding of "no effect"
for T &E species and historical structures. The proposed project is located within a WS-IV watershed; however,
is not located within %Z mile of the critical watershed area; therefore, hazardous spill basins are not required.
Enclosed is the hazardous spill basin checklist.
Enclosed is a pre-construction notification for Nationwide Permit # 13 (Bank Stabilization), a sketch of planned
activities, stream cross-sections, photographs of the site, and location maps relative to the project. If you have
any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at (704) 480-9044. Thank you for your time and
consideration to this matter.

Proposed use or purpose of pond
local stormwater requirement, etc.)
Size of watershed draining to pond
(e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
Expected pond surface area:
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
The integrity of the bridge must be maintained for the safety of the travelling public. Riprap is
needed on the embankment under the bridue and around the bridge piles to provide stability and
to minimize future scour problems.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
Page 5 of 8
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
If mitigation is required by USACE it will be provided in accordance with guidelines outlined in
the USACE letter of 9/1/04 from Mr. Ken Jolly to Dr. Gregory Thorpe.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
(919) 733-5208 to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the
following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet):
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet):
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres):

Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state) funds or the use of public
(federal/state) land?
Yes ® No ?
If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at (919) 733-5083 to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No
If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a
copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter.
Yes ? No ?
Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
Page 6 of 8
Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify )?
Yes ? No ® If you answered "yes", provide the following information:
Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer
mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer
multipliers.
Zone* Impact feet) Multiplier Required Mitigation
1 3
2 1.5
Total
* Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from near bank of channel; Zane 2 extends an
additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1.
If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation
of Property, Conservation Easement, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, Preservation or
Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as
identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or .0260.
NA
XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ)
Describe impervious acreage (both existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site.
Discuss stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands
downstream from the property.
No increase in impervious surface is proposed.
XII. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ)
Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of
wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.
No wastewater is generated from the project.
XIII. Violations (required by DWQ)
Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H.0500) or any Buffer Rules?
Yes ? No
Is this an after-the-fact permit application?
Yes ? No

XIV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).

NOTES
This map is for use in administering the National Flood Insurance Program; it
does not necessarily identify all planimetric features outside Special Flood Hazard
Area or all areas subject to flooding, particularly from local drainage sources
of small size.
Areas of Special Flood Hazard (100-year flood) include zones, A, AE, At-A30,
AH, AO, A99, V, VE and VI-V30-
Certain areas not in Special Flood Hazard Areas may be protected by flood control
structures.
Boundaries of the floodways were computed at cross sections and interpolated
between cross sections. The floodways were based on hydraulic considerations
with regard to requirements of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Floodway widths in some areas may be too narrow to show to scale. Refer to
Floodway Data Table where floodway width is shown at 1/20 inch.
Coastal base flood elevations apply only landward of the shoreline.
This map incorporates approximate boundaries of coastal barriers established
under the Coastal Barrier Resources Act (PL 97-348).
Corporate limits shown are current as of the date of this map. The user should
contact appropriate community officials to determine if corporate limits have
changed subsequent to the issuance of this map.
