Subject Property: Boiling Springs Lakes Commercial Corridor Sewer Collection System
Approval of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Lawing,
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions to impact 1.87 acres of 404 wetlands
(conversion only) to install a sewer collection system as described in your application received by the DWQ on
July 6, 2012. After reviewing your application, we have determined that these impacts are covered by General
Water Quality Certification Number 3884 (GC3884). This Certification allows you to use the Nationwide 12
Permit when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers. This general certification may also be viewed on our
website at http: / /portal.ncdenr.orp,/ web /wq /swp /ws /401 /certsandpermits.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that is described in your application. If you change
your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us 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 conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future)
exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6)
and (7). This approval shall expire when the corresponding Nationwide Permit expires or as otherwise
provided in the General Certification. For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed

2) No Waste, Spoil, Solids, or Fill of Any Kind
No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the
footprint of the impacts depicted in the PCN application. All construction activities, including the
design, installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion control Best Management
Practices, shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules
occur.
3) No Sediment & Erosion Control Measures within Wetlands or Waters
Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum
extent practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is
unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored within six months of the date that
the Division of Land Resources has released the project.
4) Standard Erosion and Sediment Control Practices
Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing
the proper design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices:
a. Erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and
Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual.
b. Design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures
must be such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of
the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on
all construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor -owned or
leased borrow pits associated with the project.
c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed,
operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina
Surface Mining Manual.
d. Reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with
the requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
e. Sufficient materials required for stabilization and/or repair of erosion control measures and
stormwater routing and treatment shall be on site at all times.
5) 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 http• / /portal.ncdenr.org /web /wq /ws /su /construction.
