Water Body: Calico Creek Classification: "SC"
Directions to site: Country Club Road in Morehead City
Inspection Date: April 21, 2004
Weather Conditions: Warm and Dry (70's)
3. Compliance Issues:
Y N
❑ ❑ The drainage area (including offsite) and built -upon area to the permitted
system are per the approved plan. No unpermitted offsite drainage enters
the system.
❑ ❑ All'the built -upon area associated with the project is graded such that the
runoff drains to the system.
❑ ❑ For ponds/infiltration, the outlet/bypass structure relative elevations are
per the approved plan. (Must be verified via as -built survey if in question).
❑ ❑ The inlets and outlet structure are located per the approved plans and do
not cause short-circuiting.
❑ ❑ A trash rack is provided over the outlet weir and orifice.
❑ D4 All. slopes are grassed with permanent vegetation and are not eroding.
❑ ❑ Vegetated slopes are no steeper than 3:1.
❑ ❑ The approximate amount of permitted surface area has been provided.
(Must be verified via as -built survey or designer's certification.)
❑ ❑ Required drawdown devices are correctly sized per the approved plans.
All required design depths are provided.
❑ ❑ All' required parts of the system are provided, such as a vegetated shelf,
and a forebay.
❑ The designer's certification has been submitted.
❑ ❑ The required deed restrictions are correctly recorded and submitted.
❑ ❑ The number of lots or outparcels is per the permitted amount.
❑ ❑ The built -upon area on the lots or outparcels does not appear to exceed
the maximum amount (must be verified via as -built survey if in question)
❑ ❑ Curb outlet swales are constructed, located properly, are 100' long and
have dense vegetated cover.
❑ ❑ The road, cul-de-sac, parking lot and sidewalk widths are per the
approved plan.
❑ Required maintenance is being performed.
❑ ❑ Outparcels have their own offsite permit.
❑ ❑ For low density projects, roadside swales are 3:1, vegetated and stable.
❑ ❑ For low density projects, there are no unpermitted pipes on the project.
4. Required Actions: (Explain each deficiency and what needs to be done to bring
the system back into compliance)
(a) The trash rack on the outlet structure is not complete. The grate functions well
and looks good, however, there is a large opening above the grate. This
opening must also be covered with a grate. The opening will allow trash to
enter the outlet structure.
(b) The slopes of the pond need to be grassed. The grass will help stabilize the
slopes and keep them from eroding.
(c) There is an abundance of construction generated trash within and around the
pond.. This trash can also be seen in the protected 404 wetlands onsite. Trash
pickup must be included in your regular maintenance schedule. The trash is
not only an eyesore, it can also effect the efficiency of the pond system by
clogging the outlet orifice.
(d) The silt fences onsite are in a state of disrepair. These must be fixed
immediately. Sediment has entered the wetlands on and offsite due to the poor
condition and installation of the silt fences.

item Il. general Water Quality Certiticakion Condition Violation
The project has been found in violation of General Water Quality Certification No. 3402, issued
pursuant to the requirements of 15A NCAC 2H .0500. The violations found are:
Part 9 - 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 shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in aggradation, degradation or
sign f cant 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 -design a tedfloodways 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;
it appears that the culvert has not been properly constructed.
Part 10 - That appropriate sedintent 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;
Erosion control devices have not been properly installed or maintained on site. Failure to comply
with this condition has resulted in the unauthorized discharge of till material into Section 404
Wetlands.
In addition, a NPDES Stormwater Permit No. NCGO 10000 compliance inspection was conducted in
response to a Sedimentation Inspection Report sent to DWQ by the NC Division of Land Resources
(DLR)• The site inspection and the subsequent review of DLR's Sedimentation Inspection Reports
revealed the following violations of NPDES Stormwater Permit NCG010000 issued pursuant to the
requirements of NC GS 143-215.1:
Item Ill• NPDES Stormwater Permit No. NCGOlO00O Condition Violations
Part I Section A part 2 - The Permittee shall implement the plan, which has been approved by the
approval at►thority. The approved plan is considered a requirement or condition of this general permit.
Deviation frog the The
plan, or approved amendment to the plan, shall constitute a violation of the
terms and conditions of this general permit except that deviation from the'approved plun will be allowed
(1) to Correct all emergency situation where sediments are being discharged off the site or (2) when minor
modifications have been made far the purpose of improving the performance of the erosion and
sedimentation control measures and notification of the minor modification has been made to the Division
of Land Resources (or approved local program). Such a deviation from the approved plan shall be noted
on the approved plan maintained at the job site. During active construction, a copy of the approved plan
shall be maintained on the site.
The site was found in violation of the Approved Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan on four
occasions. The violations included failure to follow the approved plan, insufficient measures to
retain sediment on site, failure to take reasonable measures, inadequate buffer zone, graded slopes
and fills too steep, unprotected exposed slopes, and failure to maintain erosion control measures.

Part I, Section B, Part 1. 2, and 3 -
(1) All erosion and sedimentation control facilities shall be inspected by or under the direction of the
permittee at least once every seven calendar days (at least twice every seven days for those facilities
discharging to waters of the State listed on the latest EPA approved 303(d) list far construction related
indicators of impairment such as turbidity or sedimentation * *) and within 24 hours after any storm event
of greater that 0.5 inches of rain per 24 hour period. A rain gauge shall be maintained on the site and a
record of the rainfall amounts and dates shall be kept by the permittee (** The latest approved list may be
obtained froin the Division of Water Quality, orfron the following website location:
http: //li20: enr. stcite. nc. iutslstilconstructi on3O3d).
(2) Once land disturbance has begun on the site, stormwater runoff discharges shall be inspected by
observation for stormwater discharge characteristics as defined below at the frequency in #1 above tc
evaluate the effectiveness of the pollution, control facilities or practices. If any visible sedimentation is
leaving the disturbed limits of the site, corrective action shall be taken immediately to control the
discharge ofsediments outside the disturbed limits.
(3) The operator shall keep a record of inspections, Visible sedimentation found outside of the disturbed
limits shall be recorded and a brief explanation kept with the records as to the measures taken to control
future releases. Any measures taken to clean tip the sediment that has left the disturbed limits shall also
be recorded. These records shall be made available to DWQ or authorized agent upon request.
A rain gauge is not being maintained on the site• It appeared that no written records are being
kept. It also appears that visual inspections have not been performed and corrective action has not

Dear Ms. Lutheran:
I am in receipt of a letter from Mr. Rick Shiver, dated December 8, 2003 from the
Division of Water Quality — Wilmington Regional Office, which was delivered to me by
certified mail. This particular letter was received and signed for in my office on
December 10, 2003. Following is my response as called for on page 3.
With respect to item 1, all erosion control measures are in place and have been inspected
by Mr. Trentt James. I have attached a copy of his report to this letter.
A rain gauge has been installed on the property and written records concerning rainfall
are being kept. Additionally, any inspections required after 0.5 inches of rain in a 24-
hour period will be noted by me and performed.
On December 16, 2003, Trentt James of NCDENR, Land Quality Section performed an
inspection of the site and submitted a Sedimentation Inspection Report. Mr. James was
pleased with the progress that has been made on the site and has removed the site from
notice of violation. There were some minor things that he noted on his report, and the
sub -contractor on the job has indicated they will take care of those items as quickly as
possible.
As far as wetland restoration is concerned, the areas identified in the letter are currently
being tended to and will or have been seeded.
As indicated above, Mr. James has indicated that the site is under compliance. The
stormwater collection system has been installed and is functioning properly.
I am terribly sorry that we have failed to comply with our permits. My explanation is
quite simple: This is my first venture into development of this sort, and I find myself
struggling to get my arms around the entire scope of the project. I do, however, feel we
have shown a great willingness to be cooperative with your department and with other
departments, and will continue to do so in order to keep this project in compliance.
4
As far as scheduling is concerned, most items have been taken care at the time of the
writing of Mr. Shiver's letter or, at least, were well under way to being corrected. I have
telephoned your office and left a message — hoping for the benefit of some direct
communication to answer any questions. As noted previously, there are some minor
items on Mr. James' recent report that we are following up on, and I do have some
questions about the wetlands fill, which I would like to address on site. Otherwise, I feel
we have already accomplished all of the items referenced.
Again, I want to emphasize our willingness to be cooperative so that we may avoid these
embarrassing circumstances in the future. I would welcome the opportunity to speak
with you or meet you on the site.
Sincerely,
Clearwater on Country Club

I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Clearwater is a commercial development which includes stormwater management.
Clearwater consist of a 4.83 Acre tract of land that will be developed into residential dwellings with
a pool and outside storage facility . The project will be broken into two phases. The first phase will
consist of three residential units and a stormwater pond. Phase two will consist of four residential
units, a pool, outside storage space, and modification to an existing stormwater pond.
II. STOR IWATER MANAGEMENT
The project and associated drainage is broken into two phases. A new stormwater pond will
be constructed to handle the stormwater from phase I. During construction of phase II an existing
pond will be modified to handle the stormwater from phase 1I. The existing pond is currently in
place and being utilized by the adjoining property, Camelia Court. The pond was originally
oversized for the Camelia Court project. By modifying the depth of the existing pond, the existing
additional volume in the pond, can be utilized and still satisfy the SA/DA requirement. The depth
will have to increase from 4 feet to 6.2 feet deep. The existing pond is large enough to be modified
and maintain minimal side slopes.
Both ponds drain to Calico Creek. Calico Creek is a class SC water body.
IIL EARTH DISTURBING ACTIVITIES
1]arth disturbing activities will include construction and installation of the wet -detention
facilities, associated stormwater drainage, water and sewer facilities, roads, parking lots and
buildings.
IV. EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL MEASURES
The following measures are proposed for the site. If it becomes evident that
additional erosion and sedimentation control .measures are needed, they shall be installed
immediately. It is intended that all grading and excavation activities within a certain area will be
protected as soon as that activity is complete, i.e., drainage swales, utility easements, etc.
A. Sediment pence - Sediment fence will be utilized as necessary in locations as
shown on plans or as deemed necessary by the engineer to insure that off -site
sedimentation is controlled.
B. Sediment Basins- Stormwater detention pond proposed for the site will serve as a
sediment basins during the construction phase of development.
File: 1':11'uhliclMasterll]ravinge112441Grosion-Narrative.doe
C. Riprap outlet protection- Riprap to be installed at locations shown on plans to
reduce energy at high velocity areas.
D. Check Darns — Check dams to be installed at location on plans.
E. Seeding - All disturbed areas will be seeded within 14 days following
construction in accordance with the seeding schedule shown on plans.
F. Stone Construction Entrance - Stone construction entrances will be used to reduce
transport of sediment off site.
V. CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE
A. Initial Activities:
1.. Initiate clearing and grubbing operations.
2. Install stone construction entrances.
3. Complete clearing and grubbing operation.
4. Install silt fencing at locations shown.
5. Construct stormwater detention ponds including overflow/outlet devices.
6. Rough grade site
7. Install sewer system.
8. Install stormwater collection system with erosion control measures
specified For inlets, water system, and remaining utilities.
9. Seed all disturbed areas except areas for building pads within 14 days of
disturbance.
B. Inspection- Hold Point:
Contractor shall not proceed with any impervious surface construction including
building foundations, slabs, sidewalks or roads until "Item A" initial activities are
completed and a letter from the project engineer indicating that permit requirements
are met is received.
C. Final Activities
1. Construct buildings and install roof gutters as shown on a per building
basis.
2. Construct parking lot, drive way, sidewalks, and walkways.
3. Complete installation of remaining underground utility facilities.
4. Remove accumulated sediment from stormwater detention basins and
perform final grading of basins.
5. Complete final landscaping and install wet detention basin vegetation as
specified.
File: i-:ll'uhliclMasterlDrawings\I2A9V:rosion-Narrative.doc
VI. DESIGN ASSUMPTIONS
1. Design storm is ten years for project.
2. The rational method was used for design purposes.
VII. WET DETENTION BASIN OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
After every significant runoff producing rainfall event and at least monthly:
A. Inspect the wet detention basin system for sediment accumulation, erosion,
trash accumulation, grass cover, and general condition.
B. Check and clear the orifice and overflow device of any obstructions.
2. Repair eroded areas immediately, re -seed as necessary to maintain good vegetative
cover, mow vegetative cover to maintain a maximum height of six inches, and
remove trash as needed.

Inspect and repair the collection system (piping, flumes, swales, riprap) quarterly to
maintain proper function.
Remove accumulated sediment from the wet detention basin systems semi-annually
or when depth is reduced to 75% of the original design depth.

V1. COASTAL STORMWATER REGULATIONS
The North Carolina Division of Environmental Management implemented coastal
stormwater regulations in coastal counties on January 1, 1988. These regulations are detailed in 15
NCAC 2H.1000 Stormwater Runoff Disposal. These rules allow for a development to be considered
under various options. This project is submitted for approval in consideration under Section
.1003(d)(2) high density projects.

t W'hen using the Division SVDA tables, the correct SA/DA ratio for permanent pool sizing should be computed ba_sctd upon the
actual imper- ious % and permanent pool depth. Lincar interpolation should be employed to detcrminc the correct value for non-
standard table entries.
In the 20 coastal counties, the requirement for a vegetative filter may be waived if the wet detention basin is designed to provide
90% TSS removal. The NCDENR BMP manual provides design tables for both 8517o TSS removal and 90% TSS removal.
11. REQUIRED ITEMS CHECKLIST
The following checklist outlines design requirements per the Stormwater Best Management. Practices Manual
(N.C. Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources, February 1999) and Admunistrative Code
Section: 15 A NCAC 2H .1008.
Initial in the space provided to indicate the following design requirements have been met and supporting
documentation is attached. If the applicant has designated an agent in the Stormwater Management Permit
Application Form, the agent may initial below. If a requirement has not been met, attach justification.
Applicants Initials
a. The permanent pool depth is between 3 and 6 feet (required..minimum of 3 feet).
b. The forebay volume is approximately equal to 201/o of the basin volume.
c. The temporary pool controls rurioff from the design storm event.
d. The temporary pool draws down in 2 to 5 days.
e. If required, a 30-foot vegetative filter is provided at the outlet (include non -erosive flow
calculations)
f. The basin length to width ratio is greater than 3:1.
g. The basin side slopes above the permanent pool are no steeper than 3:1.
h. A submerged and vegetated perimeter shelf with a slope of 6:1 or Iess (show detail).
i. Vegetative cover above the permanent pool elevation is specified.
j. A trash rack or similar device is provided for both the overflow and orifice.
k. A recorded drainage easement is provided for each basin including access to nearest right-
of-way.
1. If the basin is used for sediment and erosion control during construction, clean out of the
basin is specified prior to use as a wet detention basin.
m. A mechanism is specified which will drain the basin for maintenance or an emergency.
III. WET DETENTION BASIN OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT
The wet detention basin system is defined as the wet.detention basin, pretreatment including forebays and the
vegetated filter if one is provided.
This system (check one) 0 does `does not incorporate a vegetated filter at the outlet.
This system (check one) 0 does does not incorporate pretreatment other than a forebay.
Form SWU-102 Rev 3.99 Page 2 of 4
i
Maintenance activities'shall be performed as follows:
I . After every significant runoff producing rainfall event and at Ieast monthly:
a. Inspect the wet detention basin system for sediment accumulation, erosion, trash accumulation,
vegetated cover, and general condition.
b. Check and clear the orifice of any obstructions such that drawdown of the temporary pool occurs
within 2 to 5 days as designed.
2. Repair eroded areas immediately, re -seed as necessary to maintain good vegetative cover, mow vegetative
cover to maintain a maximum height of six inches, and remove trash as needed.
3. Inspect and repair the collection system (i.e. catch basins, piping, swales, riprap, etc.) quarterly to
maintain proper functioning.
r
4. Remove accumulated sediment from the wet detention basin system semi-annually or when depth is
reduced to 75% of the original design depth (see diagram below). Removed sediment shall be disposed
of in an appropriate manner and shall be handled in a manner that will not adversely impact water quality
(i.e. stockpiling near a wet detention basin or stream, etc.).
The measuring device used to determine the sediment elevation shall be such that it will give an accurate
depth reading and not readily penetrate into accumulated sediments.
When the permanent pool depth reads 3.35 feet in the main pond, the sediment shall be removed.
When the permanent pool depth reads 4.63 feet in the forebay, the sediment shall. be removed.

Mr. Thomas Bennett
3100 Arendell Street
Morehead City, NC 28557
Project Name: Clearwater Country Club
Project No.: CA-03154
Location: Country Club Road - Carteret County
River Basin: White Oak
Submitted by: Stroud Engineering
Date Received: March 31, 2003
Revised Submittal
Dear Mr. Bennett:
This office has reviewed the subject sedimentation and erosion control plan. We find the plan to be acceptable and
hereby issue this Letter of Approval. The enclosed Certificate of Approval must be posted at the job site. This plan approval
shall expire three (3) years following the date of approval, if no land -disturbing activity has been undertaken, as is required by
Title 15A NCAC 4B.0029.
Please be advised that Title 15A, of the North Carolina Administrative Code, 413.0018(a) requires that a copy of the
approved plan be on file at the job site. Also, you should consider this letter to give the Notice required by GS 113A-61(a)
approved plan. The last apes which lists approval comments should be copied and attached to the sedimentation and
erosion control plan that is maintained on site.
North Carolina's Sedimentation Pollution Control Program is performance oriented, requiring protection of the natural
resources and adjoining properties. If, following the commencement of this project, it is determined that the erosion and
sedimentation control plan is inadequate to meet the requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (North
Carolina General Statute 113A-51 thru 66), this office may require revisions to the plan and its implementation to insure
comp€€ante with the Act.
Acceptance and approval of this plan is conditioned upon your compliance with federal and state water quality laws,
regulations, and rules. In'particular, if wetlands are effected by this land disturbing activity, the provisions of the Clean Water
Act as mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency must be adhered to. In addition, local city or county ordinances or
rules may also apply to this land -disturbing activity. This approval does not supersede any other permit or approval.
Please note that this approval is based -in part on the accuracy of the information provided in the Financial
Responsibility Form which you provided . You are requested to file an amended form if, there is any change in the information
included on the form. In addition, it would be helpful if you notify this office of the proposed starting date for this project.
We look forward to working with you on.this project. if you have any questions,. please contact our office.
Sincerely,
Daniel Sams, PE, ME

This plan approval shall expire three (3) years following the date of approval, -if no land disturbing activity
has been undertaken, as is required by Title 15A NCAC 4B.0029.
2. The developer is responsible for the control of sediment on -site. If the approved erosion measures prove
insufficient, the developer must take those additional steps necessary to stop erosion from leaving this site.
Each sediment storage device must be inspected after each storm event. Maintenance and/or clean out
is necessary anytime the device is at 50% capacity.
3. Any and all existing ditches on this project site are assumed to be left undisturbed by the proposed
development -unless otherwise noted. -The removal of vegetation within any existing ditch or channel is
prohibited unless the ditch or channel is to be regraded with side slopes of 2 horizontal to 1 vertical or less
steep. Bank slopes may be mowed, but stripping of vegetation is considered new earth work and is subject
to the same erosion control requirements as new ditches.
4. The developer is responsible for obtaining any and all permits and approvals necessary for the development
of this project prior to the commencement of this land disturbing activity. This could include agencies such
as the Division of Water Quality's stormwater regulations, their enforcement requirements within Section
401 of the Clean Water Act, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' jurisdiction of Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act, the Division of Coastal Management's CAMA requirements, the Division of Solid Waste
Management's landfill regulations, the Environmental Protection Agency and/or The U. S. Army Corps of
Engineers jurisdiction of the Clean Water Act, local County or Municipalities' ordinances, or others that may
be required. This approval cannot supersede any other permit or approval; however, in the case of a Cease
and Desist Order from the Corp of Engineers, that Order would only apply to wetland areas. Ail highland
would still have to be in compliance with the N.C. Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
5. If any area on site falls within the jurisdiction Lof Section 401 or 404 of the Clean Water Act, the developer
is responsible for compliance with the requirements of the Division of Water Quality, the Corps of Engineers
and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) respectively. Any erosion control measures that fall within
jurisdictional wetland area must be approved by the aforementioned agencies prior to installation or our
Section must be notified of a relocation of the measures in question to the transition point between the
wetlands and the highlands to assure that the migration of sediment will not occur. If that relocation presents
a problems or contradicts any requirements of DWQ, the Corps or the EPA, it is the responsibility of the
deve!oper to inform the Land Quality Section regional office so that an adequate contingency plan can be
made to assure sufficient erosion control remains on site. Failure to do so will be considered a violation of
this approval.
6. Any borrow material brought onto this site must be from a legally operated mine or other approved source.
A single use borrow site or an area to waste material is only permissible if it is operated under total control
of the Financially Responsible person or firm who is developing this site, is located on or adjacent to this
site, and has been incorporated as part of this plan.
7. This permit allows for a land disturbance, as called for on the application plan, not to exceed five (5) acres.
Exceedino that acreage will be a violation of this permit and would require a revised plan and additional
application fee. Any addition in impervious surface, over that already noted on the approved plan, would
also require a revised plan to verify the appropriateness of the erosion control measures and stormwater
retention measures.

8. The construction detail for the proposed silt fence requires reinforcing wire and posts a maximum of 8 feet
apart. Omission of the reinforcing wire is a construction change that.necessitates more posts needed for
support, i.e. the spacing distance needs to be reduced -to no greater than 6 feet apart.
9. Because the stormwater retention ponds are shown on the plan as the primary sedimentation & erosion
control devices on this project, it is necessary that the ponds and their collection system be installed before
any other grading takes place on site. If that proves to be impractical, a revised plan must be submitted and
approved that addresses erosion and sediment control needs during the interim period until the ponds are
fully functioning.
10. A graveled construction entrance must be located at each point of access and egress available to
construction vehicles during the grading and construction phases of this project. Access and egress from
the project site at a point without a graveled entrance will be considered a violation of this approval. Routine
maintenance of the entrances is critical.
11. The North Carolina Sedimentation Pollution Control Act mandates a shortened time frame in which to
reestablish vegetative groundcover. Slopes (including cuts, fills, and ditch banks) left exposed will, within
15 working days or 30 calendar days (whichever is the shorter) after completion of any phase of grading,
be planted or otherwise provided with groundcover sufficient to permanently restrain erosion.

GENERAL CERTIFICATION FOR PROJECTS ELIGIBLE
FOR CORPS OF ENGINEERS NATIONWIDE PERMIT NUMBERS 18 (MINOR DISCHARGES)
39 (RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL AND INSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENTS),
41 (RESHAPING EXISTING DRAINAGE DITCHES), 42 (RECREATIONAL FACILITIES),
43 (STORMWATER MANAGEMENT FACILITIES) AND 44 (MINING ACTIVITIES),
AND RIPARIAN AREA PROTECTION RULES (BUFFER RULES)
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) (18, 39, 41, 42, 43 and 44) of
the Corps of Engineers regulations (i.e., Nationwide Permit No. 39) and for the Riparian Area
Protection Rules (Buffer Rules) in 15A NCAC 2B .0200. This Certification replaces Water Quality
Certification Numbers 3106 and 3108 issued on February 11, 1997, and Water Quality
Certification Number 3287 issued on June 1, 2000 and Water Quality Certification Number 3362
issued March 18, 2002. This WQC is rescinded when the Corps of Engineers re -authorizes
Nationwide Permits 18, 39, 41, 42, 43 or 44 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, 306 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
temporary stream 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, excavation, 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 existing stream dimension,
pattern or profile occurs) count towards mitigation requirements. Any filling,
excavation, relocation or other modification of the existing stream (other than
flooding) must re-establish the same dimensions, patterns and profiles of the existing
channel (or those of a stable reference reach if the existing channel is unstable) to
the maximum extent practical.
• 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, excavating, 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 #3402
• Lakes and Ponds — Impacts to waters other than streams and wetlands as
determined by the Division of Water Quality shall be 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.
Application Thresholds - Stream, wetland and water impacts that exceed any of the
thresholds below require a complete application and written concurrence to use this
Certification:
• Total stream impacts of greater or equal to 150 cumulative feet of stream length for
the entire project require written notification to and approval by the Division of Water
Quality, and/or
• Impacts to waters of equal to or greater than 1 /3 of an acre require written notification
to and approval by the Division of Water Quality, and/or
• Wetland impacts of greater or equal to 1/3 of an acre east of 1-95 and 1110 of an acre
west of 1-95 require written notification to and approval by the Division of Water
Quality except as specified below. Any impacts to wetlands adjacent to waters
designated as ORW, SA; WS-I, WS-11 or Trout or are designated as a North Carolina
or National Wild and Scenic River and wetlands classified as SWL and/or UWL as
well as wetlands described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (e) require a complete application
and written concurrence from the Division of Water Quality to use this Certification.
These thresholds apply for the entire project regardless of the number of Nationwide
Permits applicable to the Certification that are issued by the USACE for the project;
• Written notification to DWQ is required for all applications that propose to use
Nationwide Permit 18, This notification requirement will be satisfied by providing two
(2) copies of the PCN form to DWQ at the same time that the PCN form is sent to the
US Army Corps of Engineers. A formal application and fee is not required unless
DWQ decides that an Individual Certification will be required for the project. In this
case, the applicant will be notified in writing from DWQ within 30 days of the receipt
of the written notification.
• Proposed fill or substantial modification of any amount of wetlands classified in
accordance with 15A NCAC 2B .0101(e)(7) as Unique Wetlands (UWL) shall require
written concurrence from the Division of Water Quality;
2. 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 2B.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 213 .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;
3. 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 (WS-1), 2B .0213 (WS-11),
213.0214 (WS-111) 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 100 foot wide vegetative buffer for high density development
WQC #3402
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;
4. 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 -specific 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 Jr), 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
DSNR Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual) be constructed as part of the
stormwater management plan when a site -specific stormwater management plan is
required.
For streams classified as Water Supply, High Quality Waters and Outstanding Resource
Waters, post -construction, on -site stormwater management shall be required as
appropriate and as outlined in 15A NCAC 213 .0104(m) and 2H .1000 to .1007,
respectively, in addition to that required in this General Certification.
Alternative designs may be requested by the applicant and will be reviewed on a case -by -
case basis by the Division of Water Quality.
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 Unit as 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.
5. 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-1 and WS-11 unless the project is a linear, publicly -funded
transportation project, which has a 150-foot per -stream impact allowance;
,.
6. In accordance with North Carolina General Statute Section 143-215.3D(e), any
application for a 401 Water Quality Certification must include the appropriate fee. If a
WQC #3402
project also requires a CAMA Permit, one payment to both agencies shall be submitted
and will be the higher of the two fees;
In accordance with 15A NCAC 2M .0506 (h) compensatory mitigation may be
required for impacts to 150 linear feet or more of streams and/or one acre or more of
wetlands for an entire project. 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 Riparian Area Protection Rules (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. 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;
8. 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 (or a
stable reference reach if the existing channel is unstable), 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 allowable. Also, rip -rap, A -Jacks, concrete, gabions or other
hard structures 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. 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;
9, 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 shall 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;
WQC #3402
10. 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;
11, 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;
12. 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;
13. Measures shall be taken to prevent live or fresh concrete from coming into contact
with waters of the state until the concrete has hardened;
14. 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;
15. If this Certification is used to access building sites, all lots owned by the applicant must be
buildable without additional fill beyond that explicitly allowed under other General
Certifications. The applicant is required to provide evidence that the lots are buildable
without requiring additional impacts to wetlands, waters or buffers if required to do so in
writing by DWQ. For road construction purposes, this Certification shall only be utilized
from natural high ground to natural high ground;
16. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all lots with remaining
jurisdictional wetlands and waters or areas within 50 feet of all streams and ponds. These
mechanisms shall be put in place within 30 days of the date of issuance of the 401
Certification letter or the issuance of the 404 Permit (whichever is later). A sample deed
notification format can be downloaded from the 401 /Wetlands Unit web site at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands , DWQ shall be sent copies of all deed restrictions
applied to these lots;
17. 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;
18. 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 18, 39, 41, 42, 43 or 44,
whichever is sooner.
WQC #3402
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.
