5. Protective Fencing
The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary and along the construction corridor within these
boundaries approved under this authorization shall be clearly marked with orange warning fencing
(or similar high visibility material) for the areas that have been approved to infringe within the
buffer, wetland or water prior to any land disturbing activities to ensure compliance with GC3705;
6. Deed Notifications
Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all retained jurisdictional wetlands,
waters and protective buffers in order to assure compliance for future wetland, water and buffer
impact. These mechanisms shall be put in place at the time of recording of the property, or of
individual lots, whichever is appropriate. A sample deed notification can be downloaded from
the 401/Wetlands Unit web site at http:// h2o.enr.state.nc.us /ncwetlands. The text of the sample
deed notification may be modified as appropriate to suit to this project.
7. Construction Stormwater Permit NCGO10000
Upon the approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan issued by the Division of Land
Resources (DLR) or a DLR delegated local erosion and sedimentation control program, an
NPDES General stormwater permit (NCGO10000) administered by DWQ is automatically issued
to the project. This General Permit allows stormwater to be discharged during land disturbing
construction activities as stipulated by conditions in the permit. If your project is covered by this
permit [applicable to construction projects that disturb one (1) or more acres], full compliance
with permit conditions including the sedimentation control plan, self - monitoring, record keeping
and reporting requirements are required. A copy of this permit and monitoring report forms may
be found at hyp : / /h2o.enr. state. nc.uslsulForms Documents. htm.;
8. Culvert Installation
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
(http://www.ncdot.org/doh/ol2erations/BMP manual /downloadBMP Manual.pdf)
such as sandbags, rock berms, cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent
excavation in flowing water.
Culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profiles
are not altered. Existing stream dimensions (including the cross section dimensions, pattern, and
longitudinal profile) must be maintained above and below locations of each culvert. Culverts shall
be designed and installed to allow for aquatic life movement as well as to prevent head cutting of
the streams. If any of the existing pipes are or become perched, the appropriate stream grade shall
be re- established or, if the pipes installed in a perched manner, the pipes shall be removed and re-
installed correctly.
Culvert(s) shall not be installed in such a manner that will cause aggradation or erosion of the
stream up or down stream of the culvert(s). Existing stream dimensions (including the cross section
dimensions, pattern and longitudinal profile) shall be maintained above and below locations of each
culvert. Therefore, you must provide plans with adequate details that indicate that the current
stability of the stream will be maintained or enhanced. You must receive written approval from this
Office for the above plans before the culvert(s) is installed. Culvert(s) must be installed according
to approved plans.
Toll Brothers, Inc. and Town of Apex
Page 4 of 5
December 31, 2007
Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams, and wetlands must 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 shall be
maintained if requested in writing by DWQ.
The establishment of native, woody vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization techniques
must be used where practicable instead of rip rap or other bank hardening methods. If rip -rap is
necessary, it shall not be placed in the stream bed, unless specifically approved by the Division of
Water Quality.
Installation of culverts in wetlands must ensure continuity of water movement and be designed to
adequately accommodate high water or flood conditions.
Upon completion of the project, the Applicant shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" form to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been
completed. The responsible party shall complete the attached form and return it to the

send photographs upstream and downstream of each culvert site to document correct installation
along with the Certificate of Completion form.
9. Stormwater Management Plan Implementation Procedures (No Further Approval Needed)
The approved SMP must be constructed and operational before any permanent building or
other structure is occupied at the site. If a development is phased, then the approved SMP for
each future phase must be constructed and operational before any permanent building or other
structure associated with that phase is occupied.
The approved SMP as well as drainage patterns must be maintained in perpetuity.
The SMP may not be modified without prior written authorization from the SMP approval
authority. If the SMP falls under another state stormwater program, then a copy of the
approval letter and the modified SMP must be submitted to the 401 Oversight/Express Unit
prior to the commencement of the modifications.
