Approval of 401 Water Quality Certification and Authorization Certificate per the Neuse River
Buffer Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233) with Additional Conditions -REVISED-3
Dear Mr. Morrison:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to
place fill within or otherwise impact 0.256 acres of wetland, 5061inear feet stream (10 linear feet
permanent, perennial stream impacts, 496 linear feet permanent, intermittent stream impacts and
321inear feet temporary, intermittent stream impacts) and 10,396 square feet of Zone 1 Neuse
River basin protected riparian buffer, and 7,042 square feet of Zone 2 Neuse River basin
protected riparian buffer, as described in your application dated June 22, 2006, and received by
the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on June 27, 2006, with more information received by the
DWQ on July 7, 2006, for the purpose of constructing the commercial shopping area at the site.
You do not have our approval to perform the proposed impacts at Impact No. 7 (131 linear
feet permanent, intermittent impacts, and 7,862 square feet of Zone 1 Neuse River basin
protected riparian buffer, and 5,918 square feet of Zone 2 Neuse River basin protected
riparian buffer) and Impact No. 8 (131 linear feet permanent, intermittent impacts, and
7,449 square feet of Zone 1 Neuse River basin protected riparian buffer, and 4,737 square
feet of Zone 2 Neuse River basin protected riparian buffer). After reviewing your
application, we have decided that the impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification
Number(s) 3402 (GC3402). The Certification(s) allows you to use Nationwide Permit(s) NW39,
respectively, when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE). This letter shall also
act as your approved Authorization Certificate for impacts to the protected riparian buffers per
15A NCAC 2B .0233. This Certification replaces the Certification issued to you on August
1, 2006. In addition, you should obtain or otherwise comply with any other required federal,
state or local permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to)
Erosion and Sediment Control, and Non-discharge regulations. Also, this approval to proceed
with your proposed impacts or to conduct impacts to waters as depicted in your application
shall expire upon expiration of the 404 or CAMA Permit.

4. 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 in order to protect surface waters standards:
a. The 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. The 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. 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. Sediment and Erosion Control Measures
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;
6. 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 15A NCAC 2B .0233 and GC 3404;
7. Culvert Installation
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.

August 14, 2006
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 disequilibrium 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 401/Wetlands Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality upon completion of the
project. Please send photographs upstream and downstream of each culvert site to document
correct installation along with the Certificate of Completion form.
8. Written Stormwater Management Plan (Final Plan Needed)
A final, written stormwater management plan (including a signed and notarized
Operation and Maintenance Agreement) shall be submitted to the 401 Oversight and
Express Permitting Unit (2321 Crabtree Blvd., Suite 250, Raleigh, NC, 27604) and the
stormwater management plans shall be approved in writing by this Office be ore the
impacts may occur per Condition No. 4 in GC No. 3402. You have the option of using
the Express Review Program for expedited approval of these plans. If you propose to use
the Express Review Program, remember to include the appropriate fee with the plan. 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 (Tr), 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 NCDENR
Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual) be constructed as part of the stormwater
management plan when asite-specific stormwater management plan is required.
Also, the stormwater management plan (as approved by the Wetlands Unit) shall be
implemented before any permanent building or other structure is occupied at the
subject site.

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.
9. Diffuse Flow (No Review)
All constructed stormwater conveyance outlets shall be directed and maintained as diffuse
flow at non-erosive velocities through the protected stream buffers such that it will not re-
concentrate before discharging into a stream as identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233 (5). If
this is not possible, it may be necessary to provide stormwater facilities that are considered to
remove nitrogen. This may require additional approval from this Office.
10. 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 prior to impacting any
wetlands, waters and/or buffers approved for impact under this Certification Approval and
Authorization Certificate. 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;
11. 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://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/Forms Documents.htm.;
12. Certificate of Completion
Upon completion of all work approved within the 401 Water Quality Certification or
applicable Buffer Rules, and ariy subsequent modifications, the applicant is required to return
the attached certificate of completion to the 401 Oversight/Express Review Permitting Unit,
North Carolina Division of Water Quality, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC, 27699-
