Special Conditions:
1. NCDOT shall implement"Design Standards for Sensitive Watersheds",to avoid/minimize sediment from entering the
stream.
2. This USACE permit does not authorize you to take a threatened or endangered species,in particular,the Northern Long-
eared Bat(NLEB)(Myotis septentrionalis). in order to legally take a listed species,you must have separate authorization
under the Endangered Species Act(ESA)(e.g.,a Biological Opinion (BO)under the ESA, Section 7,with 'incidental
take'provisions with which you must comply). The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's(USFWS's)Programmatic BO
titled'Northern Long-eared Bat(NLEB)Programmatic Biological Opinion for North Carolina Department of
Transportation (NCDOT)Activities in Eastern North Carolina(Divisions 1-8),' dated March 25, 2015,and adopted on
May 4, 2015,contains mandatory terms and conditions to implement the reasonable and prudent measures that are
associated with 'incidental take' that are specified in the BO.Your authorization under this USACE permit is
conditioned upon your compliance with all the mandatory terms and conditions(incorporated by reference into this
permit)associated with incidental take of the BO. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions associated with
incidental take of the BO,where a take of the listed species occurs,would constitute an unauthorized take,and would
also constitute non-compliance with your USACE permit. The USFWS is the appropriate authority to determine
compliance with the terms and conditions of its BO and with the ESA.
This verification will remain valid until the expiration date identified below unless the nationwide and/or regional general permit
authorization is modified,suspended or revoked. if,prior to the expiration date identified below,the nationwide and/or regional general
permit authorization is reissued and/or modified,this verification will remain valid until the expiration date identified below,provided
it complies with all requirements of the modified nationwide permit. if the nationwide and/or regional general permit authorization
expires or is suspended, revoked, or is modified, such that the activity would no longer comply with the terms and conditions of the
nationwide permit, activities which have commenced(i.e.,are under construction)or are under contract to commence in reliance upon
the nationwide and/or regional general permit, will remain authorized provided the activity is completed within twelve months of the

REGIONAL GENERAL PERMIT
A regional general permit (RGP)to perfoitn work in or affecting navigable waters of the United
States and waters of the United States,upon recommendation of the Chief of Engineers,pursuant
to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of March 3, 1899 (33 U.S.C. 403), and Section 404
of the Clean Water Act(33 U.S.C. 1344), is hereby modified and re-issued by authority of the
Secretary of the Anny by the
District Commander
U.S. Army Engineer District, Wilmington
Corps of Engineers
69 Darlington Avenue
Wilmington,North Carolina 28403-1343
TO AUTHORIZE THE DISCHARGE OF DREDGED OR FILL MATERIAL IN
WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES (U.S.),INCLUDING WETLANDS,ASSOCIATED
WITH MAINTENANCE,REPAIR,AND CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS CONDUCTED
BY THE VARIOUS DIVISIONS OF THE NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION(NCDOT)INCLUDING THE NCDOT DIVISION OF
HIGHWAYS,RAIL,BICYCLE/PEDESTRIAN,ECT.
Activities authorized are:
a. Construction, maintenance, and repair of bridges,to include work on the approaches, where
permanent impacts resulting in a loss of waters of the U.S. will be less than or equal to 500 linear
feet(lf) of stream and/or one (1) acre of wetland/non-tidal open water for each single and complete
linear project.
b. Best-fit wideningprojects that have undergone interagency review and completed the
g g Y P
current interagency Merger Process, which merges the requirements of the National Environmental
Policy Act(NEPA)with those found within Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA).
1

While there is no impact threshold for these widening projects,the Corps has the discretion to
require an individual permit if it determines that the proposed impacts will have more than a
minimal impact on the aquatic environment or on other environmental factors, or if the project
would noiivally require an Environmental Impact Statement(EIS)under current Federal Highway
Administration(FHWA) guidelines. Best-fit projects may include a small amount of new location
roadway for components such as interchanges or intersections,provided the new location portion
has been concurred upon by the merger team.
c. Minor widening projects, such as paving and/or widening secondary roads, or interchange
improvements, when permanent impacts which result in a loss of waters of the U.S. from
installation and/or extension of culverts and/or pipes will be less than or equal to 500 if of stream
and/or one (1) acre of wetland/non-tidal open water for each single and complete linear project .
d. Stream relocation(s) associated with projects identified in a-c above. Stream relocation
lengths are to be evaluated independently and are not included within each respective maximum
limit threshold for the authorized actions stated above.
Single and complete linear project: A linear project is a project constructed for the purpose of
getting people, goods, or services from a point of origin to a terminal point,which often involves
multiple crossings of one or more waterbodies at separate and distant locations. The term"single
and complete project" is defined as that portion of the total linear project proposed or
accomplished by one owner/developer or partnership or other association of owners/developers
that includes all crossings of a single water of the U.S. (i.e., a single waterbody) at a specific
location. For linear projects crossing a single or multiple waterbodies several times at separate
and distant locations, each crossing is considered a single and complete project for purposes of
this RGP. However, individual channels in a braided stream or river, or individual aims of a
large, irregularly shaped wetland or lake, etc., are not separate waterbodies, and crossings of
such features cannot be considered separately.
Generally, off-site detours are preferred to avoid and minimize impacts to the human and natural
environment. However, if an off-site detour is considered impracticable,then an on-site detour
may be considered as a necessary component of the actions described above. Impacts from the
detour may be considered temporary and may not require compensatory mitigation if the
impacted area is restored to its pre-project condition after construction is complete. If the
construction of a detour(on-site or off-site) includes standard undercutting methods,removal of
all material and backfilling with suitable material is required.
1. Special Conditions.
a. The applicant must submit a pre-construction notification(PCN)with specified
attachments to the District Engineer and receive written verification from the Corps that the
proposed work complies with this RGP prior to commencing any activity authorized by this
RGP.
b. If the project will not impact a designated"Area of Environmental Concern" (AEC)
in the twenty(20) counties of North Carolina covered by the North Carolina Coastal Area
Management Act(CAMA),then a consistency submission is not required. If the project will
impact a designated AEC and meets the definition of"development",then the applicant must
2

obtain the required CAMA permit. Development activities may not commence until a copy of
the approved CAMA permit is furnished to the appropriate Wilmington District Regulatory Field
Office (Wilmington Field Office—69 Darlington Avenue, Wilmington,NC 28403 or
Washington Field Office—2407 West 5th Street,Washington,NC 27889).
The twenty (20) CAMA counties in North Carolina include Beaufort, Bertie, Brunswick, Camden,
Carteret, Chowan, Craven, Currituck, Dare, Gates, Hertford, Hyde,New Hanover, Onslow,
Pamlico, Pasquotank, Pender, Perquimans, Tyrrell, and Washington.
c. Discharges into Waters of the U.S. designated by either the North Carolina Division
of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF) or the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission(NCWRC)
as anadromous fish spawning areas are prohibited during the period between February 1 and June
30, without prior written approval from NCDMF,NCWRC,National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS), and the Corps. Discharges into waters of the U.S. designated by NCDMF as primary
nursery areas and discharges into waters of the U.S. designated by NCWRC as primary nursery
areas in inland waters shall be coordinated with NCDCM(per existing agreement with NCDMF)
and NCWRC prior to being authorized by this RGP. Coordination with NCDCM and NCWRC
may result in a required construction moratorium during periods of significant biological
productivity or critical life stages.
The applicant should contact:
NC Division of Marine Fisheries North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission
3441 Arendell Street Habitat Conservation Program Manager
Morehead City,NC 28557 1721 Mail Service Center
Telephone [phone] Raleigh,NC 27699-1721
or 800-682-2632 Telephone[phone]
d. This permit does not authorize the use of culverts in areas designated as anadromous
fish spawning areas by the NCDMF or the NCWRC.
e. Waters of the U.S. designated as sturgeon spawning areas are excluded during the
period between February 1 and June 30, without prior written approval from NMFS.
f. If the project is located within the twenty(20) counties of North Carolina designated as
coastal counties by CAMA,then all pipe and culvert inverts will be buried at least one foot
below normal bed elevation when they are placed within the Public Trust AEC and/or the
Estuarine Waters AEC as designated by CAMA. If the project is not located within the twenty
(20) counties of North Carolina designated as coastal counties by CAMA,then culvert inverts
will be buried at least one foot below the bed of the stream for culverts greater than 48 inches in
diameter. Culverts 48 inches in diameter or less shall be buried or placed on the stream bed as
practicable and appropriate to maintain aquatic passage, and every effort shall be made to
maintain the existing channel slope. The potential for destabilization of the channel and head
cutting upstream should be considered in the placement of the culvert. A waiver from the depth
specifications in this condition may be requested in writing. The waiver will only be issued if it
can be demonstrated that the impacts of complying with this condition would result in more
adverse impacts to the aquatic environment. Culverts placed in wetlands do not have to be buried.

g. No work shall be authorized by this RGP within the twenty coastal counties, as defined
by the NCDCM,without prior consultation with NOAA Fisheries. For each activity reviewed by
the Corps where it is determined that the activity may affect Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) for
federally managed species, an EFH Assessment shall be prepared by the applicant and
forwarded to the Corps and NOAA Fisheries for review and comment prior to authorization of
work.
h. Discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the U.S., including wetlands,must
be minimized or avoided to the maximum extent practicable.
i. No activity may result in substantial permanent disruption of the movement of those
species of aquatic life indigenous to the waterbody, including those species that normally migrate
through the area. The dimension,pattern, and profile of the stream above and below a pipe or
culvert should not be modified by widening the stream channel or by reducing the depth of the
stream in connection with the construction activity. It is acceptable to use rock vanes at culvert
outlets to ensure, enhance, or maintain aquatic passage. Pre-foiined scour holes are acceptable
when designed for velocity reduction. The width,height, and gradient of a proposed opening
should be such as to pass the average historical low flow and spring flow without adversely
altering flow velocity. Spring flow should be determined from gauge data, if available. In the
absence of such data,bankfull flow can be used as a comparable level. Where adjacent floodplain
is available, flows exceeding bank-full should be accommodated by installing culverts at the
floodplain elevation, if practicable. If multiple culverts are used,the construction of floodplain
benches and/or sills to maintain base flow is required, if practicable.
j. Upon completion of any work authorized by this RGP, all temporary fills (to include
culverts, etc.)will be completely removed from waters of the U.S. and the areas will be restored
to preconstruction conditions,to include pre-project elevations and contours,restoring natural
hydrology and stream corridors, and reestablishing native vegetation/riparian corridors. This
work will be completed within 60 days of completion of project construction. If this timeframe
occurs while a required moratorium of this peiinit is in effect,the temporary fill shall be
removed in its entirety within 60 days of the moratorium end date. If vegetation cannot be
planted due to the time of the year, all disturbed areas will be seeded with a native mix
appropriate for the impacted area, and vegetation will be planted in the fall. A native seed mix
may contain non-invasive small grain annuals (e.g. millet and rye grain)to ensure adequate cover
while native vegetation becomes established. The PCN must include a restoration plan showing
how all temporary fills and structures will be removed and how the area will be restored to pre-
project conditions.
k. All activities authorized by this RGP shall,to the extent practicable, be conducted "in
the dry", with barriers installed between work areas and aquatic habitat to protect that habitat
from sediment, concrete, and other pollutants. Where concrete is utilized,measures will be taken
to prevent live or fresh concrete, including bags of uncured concrete, from coming into contact
with waters of the U.S. until the concrete has cured/hardened. All water in the work area that has
been in contact with concrete shall only be returned to waters of the U.S. when it no longer poses
a threat to aquatic organisms (concrete is set and cured).
1. In cases where new alignment approaches are to be constructed and the existing
approach fill in waters of the U.S. is to be abandoned and no longer maintained as a roadway,the
4

abandoned fill shall be removed and the area will be restored to preexisting wetland/stream
conditions and elevations,to include restoring natural hydrology and stream corridors, and
reestablishing native vegetation/riparian corridors,to the extent practicable. This activity may
qualify as compensatory mitigation credit for the project and will be assessed on a case-by-case
basis in accordance with Special Conditions "q" and"r"below. A restoration plan detailing this
activity will be required with the submittal of the PCN.
m. To the maximum extent practicable,the pre-construction course, condition, capacity,
and location of open waters must be maintained for each activity, including stream
channelization and stoitn water management activities, except as provided below. The activity
must be constructed to withstand expected high flows. The activity must not restrict or impede
the passage of normal or high flows. The activity may alter the pre-construction course,
condition, capacity, and location of open waters if it benefits the aquatic environment(e.g.,
stream restoration or relocation activities).
n. The project must be implemented and/or conducted so that all reasonable and
practicable measures to ensure that equipment, structures, fill pads, and work associated with the
project do not adversely affect upstream and/or downstream reaches. Adverse effects include, but
are not limited to, channel instability, flooding, and/or shoreline/streambank erosion. During
construction, the pettnittee shall routinely monitor for these effects, cease all work if/when
detected,take initial corrective measures to correct actively eroding areas, and notify the Corps
immediately. Permanent corrective measures may require additional authorization from the
Corps.
o. All PCNs will describe sedimentation and erosion control structures and measures
proposed for placement in waters of the U.S. To the extent practicable, structures and measures
should be depicted on maps, surveys or drawings showing location and impacts to jurisdictional
wetlands and streams. In addition, appropriate soil and erosion control measures must be
established and maintained during construction. All fills,temporary and permanent,must be
adequately stabilized at the earliest practicable date to prevent erosion of fill material into
adjacent waters or wetlands.
p. Before discharging dredged or fill material into waters of the U.S. in the twenty-five
(25)mountain counties of North Carolina,the applicant will submit a PCN to the NCWRC and
the Corps concurrently. The PCN shall summarize alternatives to conducting work in mountain
trout waters considered during the planning process, detail why alternatives were or were not
selected, and contain a compensatory mitigation plan for all unavoidable adverse impacts to
mountain trout waters. For proposals where a bridge is replaced with a culvert,the PCN must
also include details of any on-site evaluations that were conducted to determine that installation
of a culvert will not adversely affect passage of fish or other aquatic biota at the project site. This
information must include factors such as the proposed slope of the culvert and determinations of
how the slope will be expected to allow or impede passage, the necessity of baffles and/or sills to
ensure passage, design considerations to ensure that expected baseflow will be maintained for
passage and that post-construction velocities will not prevent passage, site conditions that will or
will not allow proper burial of the culvert, existing structures (e.g., perched culverts, waterfalls,
etc.) and/or stream patterns up and downstream of the culvert site that could affect passage and
bank stability, and any other considerations regarding passage. The level of detail for this
information should be based on site conditions (i.e., culverts on a slope over 3%will most likely
5

require more information than culverts on a slope that is less than 1%, etc.). Also, in order to
evaluate potential impacts, describe bedforms that will be impacted by the proposed culvert—
e.g., pools, glides,riffles, etc. The NCWRC will respond both to the proponent and directly to the
Corps.
The twenty-five (25) designated trout counties of North Carolina include Alleghany, Caldwell,
Watauga, Ashe, Mitchell, Wilkes, Avery, Burke, Stokes, Surry, Buncombe,Henderson,Polk,
Cherokee, Jackson,Rutherford, Clay,Macon, Swain, Graham, Madison, Transylvania,
Haywood, McDowell, and Yancey.

Office: 704-982-9181
q. Compensatory mitigation will be required for permanent impacts resulting in a loss of
waters of the U.S., including wetlands, from culverts/pipes and associated fill. Mitigation will
also be required for stream relocation projects. The applicant will attach a proposed mitigation
plan to the PCN. Mitigation proposals will be in accordance with currently approved
Wilmington District and/or Corps-wide mitigation regulations and guidance. The Corps Project
Manager will make the fmal determination concerning the appropriate amount and type of
mitigation.
r. Stream relocation(s) associated with projects may be authorized under this RGP. As
stated above,mitigation will be required for all relocation projects. If the stream relocation is
conducted in accordance with the requirements stated below in 1-5, the relocated segment of
stream may* be considered toward reducing the amount of compensatory mitigation required. A
relocation plan must be submitted with the PCN that addresses all factors required within the
current Wilmington District, Corps of Engineers Stream Mitigation Guidelines, which can
include,but may not be limited to:
(1) The relocated stream has pattern, profile, and dimension based on natural
channel design. If natural channel design construction is not possible due to site constraints,the
relocated stream must have pattern,profile, and dimension similar to, or better than,the existing
stream.Note that site constraints do not include those situations where NCDOT chooses not to
acquire additional adjacent property that is available for purchase.
(2) The new stream meets the current buffer requirements as stated in current
District stream mitigation guidance. If the required buffer widths cannot be obtained, a project-
by-project decision will be completed to deteiiuine if additional compensatory mitigation is
required.
(3) The new location allows the relocated stream to remain stable (e.g., in a
6

valley vs. on a slope,no bends that will impact stability, etc.).
(4) There is no loss of channel for any reason(e.g., old channel is 200' and new
channel is 150'= 50' channel loss;part of the new channel is put in a culvert; the new channel
(sides and bottom) is hardened with concrete, rip rap, etc.).
(5) The Corps will determine if monitoring and reporting will be required for a
specific project and the parameters of any required monitoring and reporting. If monitoring is
required, a monitoring plan must be included with the PCN and meet current requirements.
All relocation plans must clearly depict both the existing channel and the proposed(relocated)
channel.
* Conducting stream relocation(s) in accordance with 1-5 above may not fully compensate for
the impact and may require additional compensatory mitigation. The Corps Project Manager
will determine if the proposed amount of mitigation is adequate on a project-by-project basis.
If stream relocation cannot be conducted in accordance with 1-5 above, mitigation at a 2:1 ratio
will typically be required unless: (1)the applicant provides a Stream Quality Assessment
Worksheet or NCSAM documentation(when available)that supports a different mitigation
ratio; (2)the Corps Project Manager determines that the relocated stream, while not in full
compliance with 1-5 above, warrants partial mitigation, or; (3)the Corps determines that the
existing stream is an excellent quality stream, in which case a 3:1 mitigation ratio may be
required. The Corps Project Manager will make the final determination concerning the
appropriate amount and type of mitigation.
If the Corps determines that the proposed stream relocation is of such a magnitude that it cannot
be authorized by this RGP, an Individual Peitnit will be required.
s. The applicant shall sign and return the compliance certificate that is attached to the
RGP verification letter.
t. In the event that any Federal agency maintains an objection or any required State
authorization is outstanding,no notice to proceed will be given until objections are resolved and
State authorizations are issued.
u. The Corps may place additional special conditions, limitations, or restrictions on any
verification of the use of RGP 31 on a project-by-project basis.
2. General Conditions.
a. Except as authorized by this RGP or any Corps approved modification to this RGP,no
excavation, fill or mechanized land-clearing activities shall take place within waters or wetlands,
at any time in the construction or maintenance of this project. This permit does not authorize
temporary placement or double handling of excavated or fill material within waters or wetlands
outside the permitted area. This prohibition applies to all borrow and fill activities connected
with this project.
7

b. Authorization under this RGP does not obviate the need to obtain other federal, state,
or local authorizations.
c. All work authorized by this RGP must comply with the terms and conditions of the
applicable CWA Section 401 Water Quality Certification for this RGP issued by the NCDWR.
d. The permittee shall employ all sedimentation and erosion control measures necessary
to prevent an increase in sedimentation or turbidity within waters and wetlands outside the
permit area. This shall include, but is not limited to,the immediate installation of silt fencing or
similar appropriate devices around all areas subject to soil disturbance or the movement of
earthen fill, and the immediate stabilization of all disturbed areas. Additionally,the project must
remain in full compliance with all aspects of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973
(North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 113A Article 4).
e. The activities authorized by this RGP must not interfere with the public's right to free
navigation on all navigable waters of the U.S. No attempt will be made by the permittee to
prevent the full and free use by the public of all navigable waters at or adjacent to the authorized
work for a reason other than safety.
f. The permittee understands and agrees that,if future operations by the U.S. require the
removal,relocation, or other alteration, of the structure or work herein authorized, or if, in the
opinion of the Secretary of the Army or his authorized representative, said structure or work shall
cause unreasonable obstruction to the free navigation of the navigable waters,the permittee will be
required,upon due notice from the Corps of Engineers,to remove,relocate, or alter the structural
work or obstructions caused thereby,without expense to the U.S. No claim shall be made against
the U.S. on account of any such removal or alteration.
g. The peititittee, upon receipt of a notice of revocation of this permit or upon its
expiration before completion of the work will, without expense to the U.S. and in such time and
manner as the Secretary of the Army or his authorized representative may direct,restore the
affected water of the U.S. to its former conditions.
h. The permittee will allow the Wilmington District Engineer or his representative to
inspect the authorized activity at any time deemed necessary to assure that the activity is being
perfotlued or maintained in strict accordance with the Special and General Conditions of this
permit.
i. This RGP does not grant any property rights or exclusive privileges.
j. This permit does not authorize any injury to the property or rights of others.
k. This RGP does not authorize the interference with any existing or proposed federal
project.
1. In issuing this permit,the Federal Government does not assume any liability for the
following:
(1) Damages to the permitted project or uses thereof as a result of other permitted
8

or unpermitted activities or from natural causes.
(2) Damages to the permitted project or uses thereof as a result of current or
future activities undertaken by or on behalf of the U.S. in the public interest.
(3) Damages to persons, property, or to other peinuitted or unpermitted activities
or structures caused by the activity authorized by this permit.
(4) Design or construction deficiencies associated with the permitted work.
(5) Damage claims associated with any future modification, suspension, or
revocation of this permit.
m. Authorization provided by this RGP may be modified, suspended or revoked in whole
or in part if the Wilmington District Engineer, acting for the Secretary of the Army, determines
that such action is in the best public interest. The term of this RGP shall be five (5) years unless
subject to modification, suspension or revocation. Any modification, suspension or revocation of
this authorization will not be the basis for any claim for damages against the U.S. Government.
n. This RGP does not authorize any activity, which the District Engineer determines,
after any necessary investigations, will adversely affect:
(1) Rivers named in Section 3 of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act(15 U.S.C.
1273),those proposed for inclusion as provided by Sections 4 and 5 of the Act, and wild, scenic
and recreational rivers established by state and local entities.
(2) Sites included in or determined eligible for listing in the National Registry of
Natural Landmarks.
(3)NOAA designated marine sanctuaries,National Estuarine Research Reserves,
and coral reefs.
(4) Submerged Aquatic Vegetation(SAV) as defined by the N.C. Division of
Marine Fisheries at 15A NCAC 03I .0101(4)(i)).
o. Endangered Species.
(1)No activity is authorized under this RGP which is likely to directly or indirectly
jeopardize the continued existence of a threatened or endangered species or a species proposed for
such designation, as identified under the Federal Endangered Species Act (ESA), or which will
directly or indirectly destroy or adversely modify the critical habitat of such species.No activity is
authorized under this RGP which"may affect" a listed species or critical habitat,unless Section 7
consultation addressing the effects of the proposed activity has been completed.
(2)Federal agencies should follow their own procedures for complying with the
requirements of the ESA. Federal perruittees (and when FHWA is the lead federal agency) must
provide the district engineer with the appropriate documentation to demonstrate compliance with
9

those requirements. The district engineer will review the documentation and determine whether
it is sufficient to address ESA compliance for the RGP activity, or whether additional ESA
consultation is necessary.
(3)Non-federal permittees must submit a PCN to the district engineer if any
listed species or designated critical habitat might be affected or is in the vicinity of the project, or
if the project is located in designated critical habitat, and shall not begin work on the activity
until notified by the district engineer that the requirements of the ESA have been satisfied and
that the activity is authorized. For activities that might affect federally-listed endangered or
threatened species or designated critical habitat, the PCN must include the name(s) of the
endangered or threatened species that might be affected by the proposed work or that utilize the
designated critical habitat that might be affected by the proposed work. The district engineer will
determine whether the proposed activity"may affect" or will have"no effect"to listed species
and designated critical habitat and will notify the non-federal applicant of the Corps'
determination within 45 days of receipt of a complete PCN notification. In cases where the non-
federal applicant has identified listed species or critical habitat that might be affected or is in the
vicinity of the project, and has so notified the Corps,the applicant shall not begin work until the
Corps has provided notification that the proposed activities will have "no effect" on listed
species or critical habitat, or until Section 7 consultation has been completed. If the non-federal
applicant has not heard back from the Corps within 45 days, the applicant must still wait for
notification from the Corps.
(4)As a result of foitiial or informal consultation with the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service(USFWS) or NMFS, the district engineer may add species-specific
endangered species conditions to the RGP.
(5)Authorization of an activity by a RGP does not authorize the "take" of a
threatened or endangered species as defined under the ESA. In the absence of separate
authorization(e.g., an ESA Section 10 Permit, a Biological Opinion with"incidental take"
provisions, etc.) from the USFWS or the NMFS,the ESA prohibits any person subject to the
jurisdiction of the U.S. to take a listed species, where "take" means to harass,harm,pursue,hunt,
shoot, wound, kill,trap, capture, or collect, or to attempt to engage in any such conduct. The word
"harm"in the definition of"take"means an act which actually kills or injures wildlife. Such an
act may include significant habitat modification or degradation where it actually kills or injures
wildlife by significantly impairing essential behavioral patterns, including breeding, feeding or
sheltering.
(6) Information on the location of threatened and endangered species and their
critical habitat can be obtained directly from the offices of the USFWS and NMFS or their world
wide web pages at http://www.fws.gov/or http://www.fws.gov/ipac and
http://www.noaa.gov/fisheries.html respectively.
p. The permittee is responsible for obtaining any"take"permits required under the
USFWS's regulations governing compliance with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act or the Bald and
Golden Eagle Protection Act. The permittee should contact the appropriate local office of the
USFWS to deteuuine if such"take"permits are required for a particular activity.
q. For proposed activities the sixteen counties listed below, applicants must provide a
10

copy of the PCN to the USFWS, 160 Zillicoa Street, Asheville,North Carolina 28801. This
PCN must be sent concurrently to the USFWS and the Corps Project Manager for that specific
county.
Counties with tributaries that drain to designated critical habitat that require notification to the
Asheville USFWS: Avery, Cherokee, Forsyth, Graham,Haywood,Henderson, Jackson,Macon

r. Permittees are advised that development activities in or near a floodway may be
subject to the National Flood Insurance Program that prohibits any development, including fill,
within a floodway that results in any increase in base flood elevations. This RGP does not
authorize any activity prohibited by the National Flood Insurance Program.
s. The peimittee must make every reasonable effort to perform the work authorized
herein in a manner so as to minimize any adverse impact on fish, wildlife and natural
environmental values. €
t. All activities authorized by this RGP that involve the use of riprap material for
bank stabilization,the following measures shall be applied:
(1)Filter cloth must be placed underneath the riprap as an additional requirement
of its use in North Carolina waters.
(2) The placement of riprap shall be limited to the areas depicted on submitted
work plan drawings and not be placed in a manner that prevents or impedes fish passage.
(3)The riprap material shall be clean and free from loose dirt or any pollutant
11

except in trace quantities that will not have an adverse environmental effect.
(4)It shall be of a size sufficient to prevent its movement from the
authorized alignment by natural forces under normal conditions.
(5) The riprap material shall consist of clean rock or masonry material such as,
but not limited to, granite,marl, or broken concrete.
(6)A waiver from the specifications in this general condition may be requested in
writing. The waiver will only be issued if it can be demonstrated that the impacts of complying
with this condition will result in greater adverse impacts to the aquatic environment.
u. The permittee must install and maintain, at his expense, any signal lights and signals
prescribed by the U.S. Coast Guard,through regulations or otherwise, on authorized facilities.
For further information,the permittee should contact the U.S. Coast Guard Marine Safety Office
at(910) 772-2191.
v. The permittee must maintain any structure or work authorized by this permit in good
condition and in conformance with the terms and conditions of this peiinit. The Permittee is not
relieved of this requirement if the Permittee abandons the structure or work. Transfer in fee
simple of the work authorized by this permit will automatically transfer this permit to the
property's new owner, with all of the rights and responsibilities enumerated herein. The
permittee must inform any subsequent owner of all activities undertaken under the authority of
this permit and provide the subsequent owner with a copy of the terms and conditions of this
permit.
w. At his sole discretion, any time during the processing cycle,the Wilmington District
Engineer may determine that this RGP will not be applicable to a specific proposal. In such
case, the procedures for processing an individual peiinit in accordance with 33 CFR 325 will be
available.
x. The activity must comply with applicable FEMA approved state or local floodplain
management requirements.
y. All fill material placed in waters or wetlands shall be generated from an upland source
and will be clean and free of any pollutants except in trace quantities. Metal products, organic
materials (including debris from land clearing activities), or unsightly debris will not be used.
z. All excavated material will be disposed of in approved upland disposal areas.
aa. Historic Properties.
(1) In cases where the district engineer determines that the activity may affect
properties listed, or eligible for listing, in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP),the
activity is not authorized,until the requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act(NHPA)have been satisfied.
12

(2)Federal permittees (or when FHWA is the lead federal agency) should follow
their own procedures for complying with the requirements of Section 106 of the NHPA. Federal
permittees must provide the district engineer with the appropriate documentation to demonstrate
compliance with those requirements. The district engineer will review the documentation and
determine whether it is sufficient to address Section 106 compliance for this RGP activity, or
whether additional Section 106 consultation is necessary.
(3)Non-federal permittees must submit a PCN to the district engineer if the
authorized activity may have the potential to cause effects to any historic properties listed on,
determined to be eligible for listing on, or potentially eligible for listing on the NRHP, including
previously unidentified properties. For such activities,the PCN must state which historic
properties may be affected by the proposed work or include a vicinity map indicating the
location of the historic properties or the potential for the presence of historic properties.
Assistance regarding information on the location of or potential for the presence of historic
resources can be sought from the State Historic Preservation Officer(SHPO) or Tribal Historic
Preservation Officer (THPO), as appropriate, and the NRHP (see 33 CFR 330.4(g)). When
reviewing PCNs, district engineers will comply with the current procedures for addressing the
requirements of Section 106 of the NHPA. The district engineer shall make a reasonable and
good faith effort to carry out appropriate identification efforts,which may include background
research, consultation, oral history interviews, sample field investigation, and field survey.
Based on the information submitted and these efforts, the district engineer shall determine
whether the proposed activity has the potential to cause an effect on the historic properties.
Where the non-federal applicant has identified historic properties on which the activity may
have the potential to cause effects and so notified the Corps, the non-federal applicant shall not
begin the activity until notified by the district engineer either that the activity has no potential to
cause effects or that consultation under Section 106 of the NHPA has been completed.
(4) The district engineer will notify the prospective permittee within 45 days of
receipt of a complete PCN whether NHPA Section 106 consultation is required. Section 106
consultation is not required when the Corps determines that the activity does not have the
potential to cause effects on historic properties (see 36 CFR§800.3(a)). If NHPA Section 106
consultation is required and will occur,the district engineer will notify the non-federal applicant
that he or she cannot begin work until Section 106 consultation is completed. If the non-federal
applicant has not heard back from the Corps within 45 days, the applicant must still wait for
notification from the Corps.
(5) Prospective permittees should be aware that Section 110k of the NHPA (16
U.S.C. 470h-2(k))prevents the Corps from granting a permit or other assistance to an applicant
who,with intent to avoid the requirements of Section 106 of the NHPA,has intentionally
significantly adversely affected a historic property to which the permit will relate, or having legal
power to prevent it, allowed such significant adverse effect to occur,unless the Corps, after
consultation with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation(ACHP), determines that
circumstances justify granting such assistance despite the adverse effect created or permitted by
the applicant. If circumstances justify granting the assistance,the Corps is required to notify the
ACHP and provide documentation specifying the circumstances, the degree of damage to the
integrity of any historic properties affected, and proposed mitigation. This documentation must
include any views obtained from the applicant, SHPO/THPO, appropriate Indian tribes if the
13

undertaking occurs on or affects historic properties on tribal lands or affects properties of interest
to those tribes, and other parties known to have a legitimate interest in the impacts to the permitted
activity on historic properties.
bb. If you discover any previously unknown historic or archeological remains while
accomplishing the activity authorized by this permit, you must immediately notify this office of
what you have found. We will initiate the Federal and state coordination required to determine if
the remains warrant a recovery effort or if the site is eligible for listing in the NRHP.
cc. There will be no unreasonable interference with navigation or the right of the public
to riparian access by the existence or use of activities authorized by this RGP.
dd. Heavy equipment working in wetlands or mudflats must be placed on mats, or other
measures must be taken to minimize soil disturbance.
ee. This RGP will not be applicable to proposed construction when the Wilmington
District Engineer determines that the proposed activity will significantly affect the quality of
the human environment and determines that an EIS must be prepared.
ff. Activities which have commenced (i.e. are under construction) or are under contract
to commence in reliance upon this general permit will remain authorized provided the activity is
completed within twelve months of the date of the general permit's expiration,modification, or
revocation. Activities completed under the authorization of this general permit which were in
effect at the time the activity was completed continue to be authorized by the general permit.

The project shall be constructed in accordance with your application received May 7,2019. After reviewing your application,we
have decided that these impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 4135. This certification corresponds to
the General Permit 31 issued by the Corps of Engineers. This approval is also valid for the Tar-Pamlico Riparian Buffer Rules(15A
NCAC 2B.0259).In addition,you should acquire any other federal,state or local permits before you proceed with your project
including(but not limited to)Sediment and Erosion Control,Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This approval
will expire with the accompanying 404 permit.
This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application(unless modified below). Should your project
change,you must notify the NCDWR and 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 the conditions. If total wetland fills for this
project(now or in the future)exceed one acre,or of 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). Additional buffer impacts may require
compensatory mitigation as described in 15A NCAC 2B.0259.For this approval to remain valid,you must adhere to the conditions
listed in the General Certification and any additional conditions listed below.
Conditions of Certification:
1. Riprap shall not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes aquatic life passage.
Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed,sized and installed. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(2)]
2.For any streams being impacted due to site dewatering activities,the site shall be graded to its preconstruction contours and
revegetated with appropriate native species. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(2)]
3. All stormwater runoff shall be directed as sheetflow through stream buffers at non-erosive velocities,unless otherwise approved by
this certification. [15A NCAC 2B.0259]
4.All riparian buffers impacted by the placement of temporary fill or clearing activities shall be restored to the preconstruction
contours and revegetated.Maintained buffers shall be permanently revegetated with non-woody species by the end of the growing
season following completion of construction. For the purpose of this condition,maintained buffer areas are defined as areas within the
transportation corridor that will be subject to regular NCDOT maintenance activities including mowing.The area with non-maintained
buffers shall be permanently revegetated with native woody species before the next growing season following completion of
construction. [15A NCAC 2B.0259]
5.Pursuant to 15A NCAC 2B.0259(6), sediment and erosion control devices shall not be placed in Zone 1 of any Tar-Pamlico Buffer
without prior approval by the NCDWR. At this time,the NCDWR has approved no sediment and erosion control devices in Zone 1,
outside of the approved project impacts,anywhere on this project. Moreover,sediment and erosion control devices shall be allowed in
Zone 2 of the buffers provided that Zone 1 is not compromised and that discharge is released as diffuse flow.
6. If concrete is used during construction,a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact between curing concrete and
stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to surface waters due to the potential for
elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills. [15A NCAC 02B.0200]
7.During the construction of the project,no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of the U.S.,or protected riparian
buffers. [15ANCAC 02H.0506(b)(2)]
8. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream above and below the crossing shall not be modified. Disturbed floodplains and
streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(2)]
9.The use of rip-rap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any rip-rap placed for stream stabilization shall be placed
in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(2)]
10.The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted for approval.

11. 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 such as sandbags, rock berms, cofferdams and other diversion
structures shall be used to prevent excavation in flowing water. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(3)and(c)(3)]
12.Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel in order to minimize sedimentation and
reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(3)]
13. 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. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(3)]
14.No rock,sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel except where authorized by this certification. [15A NCAC

15. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is prohibited.
[15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(3)]
16.The permittee and its authorized agents shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with State water quality standards(including
any requirements resulting from compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act) and any other appropriate requirements of State and
Federal law. If the NCDWR 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 NCDWR
may reevaluate and modify this certification. [15A NCAC 02B.0200]
17. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise authorized by this
certification. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(2)]

19. The outside buffer,wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor approved by this authorization, including all
non-commercial borrow and waste sites associated with the project, shall be clearly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land
disturbing activities. Impacts to areas within the fencing are prohibited unless otherwise authorized by this certification. [15A NCAC
02H.0501 and.0502]
20. The issuance of this certification does not exempt the Permittee from complying with any and all statutes, rules, regulations, or
ordinances that may be imposed by other government agencies(i.e.local,state,and federal)having jurisdiction,including but not limited
to applicable buffer rules,stormwater management rules,soil erosion and sedimentation control requirements,etc.
21. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Resources within 24 hours of discovery. [15A
NCAC 02B.0506(b)(2)]
22. Upon completion of the project (including any impacts at associated borrow or waste sites), the NCDOT Division Engineer shall
complete and return the enclosed"Certification of Completion Form"to notify the NCDWR when all work included in the 401 Certification
has been completed. [15A NCAC 02H.0502(f)]
23.Native riparian vegetation(i.e.,trees and shrubs native to your geographic region) must be reestablished in the riparian areas within
the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season following completion of construction. [15A NCAC 02B.0259(10)]
&[15A NCAC 02B.0506(b)(2)]
24. There shall be no excavation from, or waste disposal into, jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this permit without
appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites, or access roads to waste or borrow sites, be located in wetlands or streams,
compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction activities. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(3)and

Page 5 of 11

GC4135
8. An NPDES Construction Stormwater Permit (NCG010000) is required for construction
projects that disturb one (1) or more acres of land. The NCG010000 Permit allows
stormwater to be discharged during land disturbing construction activities as stipulated in
the conditions of the permit. If the project is covered by this permit, full compliance with
permit conditions including the erosion & sedimentation control plan, inspections and
maintenance, self-monitoring, record keeping and reporting requirements is required. [15A
NCAC 02H .0506(b)(5) and (c)(5)]
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) shall be required to be in full
compliance with the conditions related to construction activities within the most recent

.0506(b)(5) and (c)(5)]
9. All work in or adjacent to streams shall be conducted so that the flowing stream does not
come in contact with the disturbed area. Approved best management practices from the
most current version of the NC Sediment and Erosion Control Manual, or the NC DOT
Construction and Maintenance Activities Manual, such as sandbags, rock berms,
cofferdams, and other diversion structures shall be used to minimize excavation in flowing
water. Exceptions to this condition require application to and written approval from DWR.
[15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(3) and (c)(3)]
10. If activities must occur during periods of high biological activity (e.g. sea turtle nesting, fish
spawning, or bird nesting), then biological monitoring may be required at the request of
other state or federal agencies and coordinated with these activities. [15A NCAC 02H .0506
(b)(2) and 15A NCAC 04B .0125]
All moratoriums on construction activities established by the NC Wildlife Resources
Commission (WRC), US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), NC Division of Marine Fisheries
(DMF), or National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) shall be implemented. Exceptions to
this condition require written approval by the resource agency responsible for the given
moratorium. A copy of the approval from the resource agency shall be forwarded to DWR.
Work within a designated trout watershed of North Carolina (as identified by the
Wilmington District of the US Army Corps of Engineers), or identified state or federal
endangered or threatened species habitat, shall be coordinated with the appropriate WRC,
USFWS, NMFS, and/or DMF personnel.
11. Culverts shall be designed and installed in such a manner that the original stream profiles
are not altered and allow for aquatic life movement during low flows. The dimension,
pattern, and profile of the stream above and below a pipe or culvert shall not be modified
by widening the stream channel or by reducing the depth of the stream in connection with
the construction activity. The width, height, and gradient of a proposed culvert shall be
such as to pass the average historical low flow and spring flow without adversely altering
flow velocity. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(2) and (c)(2)]
Page 6 of 11

GC4135
Placement of culverts and other structures in streams shall be below the elevation of the
streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48 inches, and 20% of
the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than or equal to 48 inches, to allow
low flow passage of water and aquatic life.
If multiple pipes or barrels are required,they shall be designed to mimic the existing stream
cross section as closely as possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or
sills where appropriate. Widening the stream channel shall be avoided.
When topographic constraints indicate culvert slopes of greater than 5%, culvert burial is
not required, provided that all alternative options for flattening the slope have been
investigated and aquatic life movement/connectivity has been provided when possible (e.g.
rock ladders, cross vanes, etc.). Notification, including supporting documentation to include
a location map of the culvert, culvert profile drawings, and slope calculations, shall be
provided to DWR 60 calendar days prior to the installation of the culvert.
When bedrock is present in culvert locations, culvert burial is not required provided that
there is sufficient documentation of the presence of bedrock. Notification, including
supporting documentation such as, a location map of the culvert, geotechnical reports,
photographs, etc. shall be provided to DWR a minimum of 60 calendar days prior to the
installation of the culvert. If bedrock is discovered during construction, then DWR shall be
notified by phone or email within 24 hours of discovery.
If other site-specific topographic constraints preclude the ability to bury the culverts as
described above and/or it can be demonstrated that burying the culvert would result in
destabilization of the channel, then exceptions to this condition require application to and
written approval from DWR.
Installation of culverts in wetlands shall ensure continuity of water movement and be
designed to adequately accommodate high water or flood conditions. When roadways,
causeways, or other fill projects are constructed across FEMA-designated floodways or
wetlands, openings such as culverts or bridges shall be provided to maintain the natural
hydrology of the system as well as prevent constriction of the floodway that may result in
destabilization of streams or wetlands.
The establishment of native woody vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization
techniques shall be used where practicable instead of rip-rap or other bank hardening
methods.
12. Bridge deck drains shall not discharge directly into the stream. Stormwater shall be
directed across the bridge and pre-treated through site-appropriate means to the maximum
extent practicable (e.g. grassed swales, pre-formed scour holes, vegetated buffers, etc.)
before entering the stream. Exceptions to this condition require application to and written
approval from DWR. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(5)]
Page 7 of 11

GC4135
13. Application of fertilizer to establish planted/seeded vegetation within disturbed riparian
areas and/or wetlands shall be conducted at agronomic rates and shall comply with all
other Federal, State and Local regulations. Fertilizer application shall be accomplished in a
manner that minimizes the risk of contact between the fertilizer and surface waters. [15A
NCAC 02B .0200 and 15A NCAC 02B .0231]
14. If concrete is used during construction, then all necessary measures shall be taken to
prevent direct contact between uncured or curing concrete and waters of the state. Water
that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to waters of the state.
[15A NCAC 02B .0200]
15. All proposed and approved temporary fill and culverts shall be removed and the impacted
area shall be returned to natural conditions within 60 calendar days after the temporary
impact is no longer necessary. The impacted areas shall be restored to original grade,
including each stream's original cross sectional dimensions, planform pattern, and
longitudinal bed profile. For projects that receive written approval, no temporary impacts
are allowed beyond those included in the application and authorization. All temporarily
impacted sites shall be restored and stabilized with native vegetation. [15A NCAC 02H
.0506(b)(2) and (c)(2)]
16. All proposed and approved temporary pipes/culverts/rip-rap pads etc. in streams shall be
installed as outlined in the most recent edition of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion
Control Planning and Design Manual or the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual or the
North Carolina Department of Transportation Best Management Practices for Construction
and Maintenance Activities so as not to restrict stream flow or cause dis-equilibrium during
use of this Certification. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(2) and (c)(2)]
17. Any rip-rap required for proper culvert placement, stream stabilization, or restoration of
temporarily disturbed areas shall be restricted to the area directly impacted by the
approved construction activity. All rip-rap shall be placed such that the original stream
elevation and streambank contours are restored and maintained. Placement of rip-rap or
other approved materials shall not result in de-stabilization of the stream bed or banks
upstream or downstream of the area or in a manner that precludes aquatic life passage.
[15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(2)]
18. Any rip-rap used for stream or shoreline stabilization shall be of a size and density to
prevent movement by wave, current action, or stream flows and shall consist of clean rock
or masonry material free of debris or toxic pollutants. Rip-rap shall not be installed in the
streambed except in specific areas required for velocity control and to ensure structural
integrity of bank stabilization measures. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(2)]
19. Applications for rip-rap groins proposed in accordance with 15A NCAC 07H .1401 (NC
Division of Coastal Management General Permit for construction of Wooden and Rip-rap
Groins in Estuarine and Public Trust Waters) shall meet all the specific conditions for design
and construction specified in 15A NCAC 07H .1405.
Page 8 of 11

GC4135
20. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters shall be inspected and maintained
regularly to prevent contamination of surface waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids,
or other toxic materials. Construction shall be staged in order to minimize the exposure of
equipment to surface waters to the maximum extent practicable. Fueling, lubrication and
general equipment maintenance shall be performed in a manner to prevent, to the
maximum extent practicable, contamination of surface waters by fuels and oils. [15A NCAC
02H .0506(b)(3) and (c)(3) and 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (12)]
21. Heavy equipment working in wetlands shall be placed on mats or other measures shall be

gallons or more; any spill regardless of amount that causes a sheen on surface waters; any
petroleum spill regardless of amount occurring within 100 feet of surface waters; and any
petroleum spill less than 25 gallons that cannot be cleaned up within 24 hours.
23. If an environmental document is required under the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA),
then this General Certification is not valid until a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) or
Record of Decision (ROD) is issued by the State Clearinghouse. If an environmental
document is required under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), then this
General Certification is not valid until a Categorical Exclusion, the Final Environmental
Assessment, or Final Environmental Impact Statement is published by the lead agency. [15A
NCAC 01C .0107(a)]
24. This General Certification does not relieve the applicant of the responsibility to obtain all
other required Federal, State, or Local approvals before proceeding with the project,
including those required by, but not limited to, Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-
Discharge, Water Supply Watershed, and Trout Buffer regulations.
25. The applicant and their authorized agents shall conduct all activities in a manner consistent
with State water quality standards (including any requirements resulting from compliance
with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act), and any other appropriate requirements of State and
Federal Law. If DWR determines that such standards or laws are not being met, including
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, then DWR may revoke or
modify a written authorization associated with this General Water Quality Certification.
[15A NCAC 02H .0507(d)]
