INDIVUAL PERMIT FOR IMPACTS TO ISOLATED AND OTHER NON -404
JURISDICTIONAL WETLANDS AND WATERS
THIS INDIVIDUAL PERMIT is issued in conformity with the requirements of Isolated and Other Non -
404 Jurisdictional Wetlands and Waters Rules as found in the North Carolina Division of Water Quality
(DWQ) Regulations 15 NCAC 02H, Section .1300, to Mr. Mark Hamblett and the NCWRC, to fill or
otherwise impact 21.0 acres of Isolated and Other Non -404 Jurisdictional Wetlands to construct the
proposed amphibian habitat restoration project at the site. The site is located near the Town of Dobbins,
Richmond County, North Carolina, pursuant to an application dated June 28, 2012 (received by the DWQ
on July 2, 2012), and Public Notice issued the DWQ on July 14, 2012.
The application and supporting documentation provide adequate assurance that the proposed work will
not result in a violation of applicable Water Quality Standards and discharge guidelines. Therefore, the
State of North Carolina certifies that this activity will not violate the applicable portions of Sections 301,
302, 303, 306, 307 of PL 92 -500 and PL 95 -217 if conducted in accordance with the application, the
supporting documentation, and conditions hereinafter set forth.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design submitted in the application materials and as
described in the Public Notice. If the project is changed, prior to construction a new application for a new
Permit is required. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the Permit and approval
letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions of this Permit. Any new owner must
notify the DWQ and request the Permit be issued in their name. Should wetland or stream fill be
requested in the future, additional compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC
021-1.1305. If any plan revisions from the approved site plan result in a change in stream or wetland
impact or an increase in impervious surfaces, the DWQ shall be notified in writing and a new application
for Isolated and Other Non -404 Jurisdictional Wetlands Permit may be required. For this approval to be
valid, compliance with the conditions listed below is required.
Conditions of Certification:
1. Impacts Approved
The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all of the other specific and general conditions
of this Isolated Wetland Permit are met. No other impacts are approved including incidental impacts:

including contractor -owned or leased borrow pits associated with the project.
c. Sufficient materials required for stabilization and/or repair of erosion control measures and

Management Practices, shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality standards,
statutes, or rules occur;
4. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters without prior
approval from the DWQ. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and
waters is unavoidable, design and placement of temporary erosion control measures shall not be
conducted in a manner that may result in dis- equilibrium of wetlands or stream beds or banks,
adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above structures. All sediment and erosion
control devices shall be removed and the natural grade restored within two (2) months of the date

State Isolated and Other Non -404 Jurisdictional Wetlands and Other Waters water quality standards
(including any requirements resulting from compliance with section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act)
and any other appropriate requirements of State law and federal law. If the 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, the DWQ may reevaluate and modify this Permit to include conditions appropriate to
assure compliance with such standards and requirements in accordance with 15A NCAC 02H.1303.
Before modifying the Permit, the DWQ shall notify Mr. Mark Hamblett and the NCWRC, provide
public notice in accordance with 15A NCAC 02H.1303 and provide opportunity for public hearing in
accordance with 15A NCAC 02H.1303. Any new or revised conditions shall be provided to Mr.
