APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Furlong:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill and impact 147 linear feet of
jurisdictional streams to install the Reidsville Op Center, Moss Street Entrance in Reidsville, NC in
Rockingham County, as described in your application received by the Division on July 1, 2011 and additional
information received August 15, 2011 and additional information received on September 19, 2011 and
October 12, 2011. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered by General
Water Quality Certification Numbers 3820, which can be viewed on our web site at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/rd wetlands _certifications.htm. This Certification allows you to use
Nationwide Permit Number 14 when it is issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In addition, you
should secure any other applicable federal, state or local permits before you proceed with your project,
including (but not limited to) those required by Sediment and Erosion Control (including trout buffer waivers
as necessary), Non-Discharge, State Stormwater, and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also, this
approval will expire when the accompanying 404 permits expire unless otherwise specified in the General
Certification.
This approval is valid only for the purpose and design that you have described in your application. If you
change your project, you must notify us in writing, and you may be required to send us a new application for a
new certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the Certification and
approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland fill for this
project (now or in the future) exceeds one acre, or total fill to perennial streams equals or exceeds 150 linear
feet, additional compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h). For this
approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification, as well as the
additional conditions listed below:
1. The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all other specific and general conditions of this
Certification are met. No other impacts, including incidental impacts, are approved:

2. You have indicated an impervious surface area of 16 % in the PCN Application dated August 15, 2011 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. 3820, 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.
3. Upon finishing the project, the Applicant shall fill out and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the 401 Certification has been completed.
This certificate should be returned to the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the NCDWQ at the address
listed on the form.
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
which 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.
