E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
S&EC completed a wetland delineation for the entire property in order to identify natural resources so that impacts could be avoided & minimized to
the maximum extent practicable. Impact #1 is a proposed road crossing necessary to access the southern areas of the property. Proposed impacts
include permanent perennial stream impacts for a proposed culvert and headwalls, permanent -no permanent loss stream impacts for a riprap
dissipator pad (riprap to be keyed into stream bed and not exceed pre -construction stream bed elevations), and temporary stream and wetland
impacts for construction activities (i.e. pump around/coffer dams). Impacts have been minimized by utilizing headwall/retaining wall and crossing at a
near perpendicular angle. Impact #2 is a proposed road crossing necessary to access the property from Harnett Central Road. Proposed impacts
include permanent perennial stream impacts for a proposed culvert and headwalls, permanent -no permanent loss stream impacts for a riprap
dissipator pad (riprap to be keyed into stream bed and not exceed pre -construction stream bed elevations), and temporary stream impacts for
construction activities (i.e. pump around/coffer dams). Impacts have been minimized by utilizing headwall/retaining wall and crossing at a near
perpendicular angle. This impact is necessary because Phases 1 & 2 will be constructed initially, with Phases 3-9 happening at a later dates. For fire
& safety reasons, more than one point of ingress/egress is recommended. Additionally, per Article VII. Development Design Guidelines, Section 2.0
Street & Transportation Standards, 2.6.1: "Al developments of more than 200 residential units or additions to existing developments that increase the
total number of residential units to 200 or more shall provide vehicular access to at least two (2) public streets. In cases where the property being
developed is adjacent to more than one (1) State road, it is encouraged that the required entrances be located on separate State roads." The
modification of these two (2) crossings are necessary because the initial design showed the use of retaining walls to reduce the stream impact but in
order to meet the NCDOT design standards, "Culverts must be long enough to accommodate the proposed typical roadway section and a 2:1 fill
slope, or flatter, from shoulder point to the crown of structure or roof slab (not headwall)". Per the project engineer, the NCDOT are not providing any
flexibility on this design requirement. The project engineers have designed utilizing the maximum side slopes and minimizing the road widths to meet
the NCDOT standards.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Per the project engineer, construction techniques such as pump arounds, coffer dams and silt fencing will be utilized.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?
r Yes r No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
There are no permanent wetland impacts associated with this modification request and all permanent loss stream impacts are less than 0.02 acres. The previous 404 NWP verification
required 412 LF of stream mitigation (i.e. 2:1 ratio). If possible, we would like to request that the special condition for the compensatory stream mitigation be reconsidered with the
change in Nationwide Permit 29 and Regional Condition 7 that changes the mitigation threshold to 0.02 acres.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR) v
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
1a. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
r Yes r No
If no, explain why:

The project is not located within in an area that has one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules.
2. Stormwater Management Plan
2a. Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250?*
r Yes r No
2b. Does this project meet the requirements for low density projects as defined in 15A NCAC 02H .1003(2)?
r Yes r No

la. Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state/local) funds or the use of public (federal/state) land?
r Yes f• No
2. Violations (DWR Requirement)
2a. Is the site in violation of DWR Water Quality Certification Rules (15ANCAC 2H .0500), Isolated Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .1300), or DWR Surface Water or Wetland Standards or
Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0200)?*
r Yes r No
3. Cumulative Impacts (DWR Requirement)
3a. Will this project result in additional development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality?*
r Yes r No
3b. If you answered "no," provide a short narrative description.
We have reviewed the "Draft Internal Policy, Cumulative impacts and the 401 Water Quality Certification and Isolated Wetlands Programs' document
prepared by the NC Division of Water Quality on April 10, 2004, version 2.1. The draft states that many private developments are unlikely to cause
cumulative impacts, including projects such as urban in -fill, most residential subdivisions and small commercial developments as well as agricultural
and silvicultural operations. The Providence Creek Subdivision project is a residential development. The property is located within Harnett County, and
therefore the adjacent properties that have potential for development will have the following regulations to protect downstream waters: 1) the Water
Supply, Watershed Protection Program which limits development densities as well as requires protective riparian buffers. We anticipate that the DWR
will advise us if any additional information is needed.
4. Sewage Disposal (DWR Requirement)
4a. Is sewage disposal required by DWR for this project?*
r Yes r Nor N/A
4b. Describe, in detail, the treatment methods and dispositions (non -discharge or discharge) of wastewater generated from the proposed project. If the wastewater will be treated
at a treatment plant, list the capacity available at that plant.
Non -discharge to North Harnett County Regional WWTP, Permit number NC0021636 Approximate Available Capacity is±0.9 MGD.
5. Endangered Species and Designated Critical Habitat (Corps Requirement)
5a. Will this project occur in or near an area with federally protected species or habitat?*
r Yes r No
5b. Have you checked with the USFWS concerning Endangered Species Act impacts?*

r Yes r No
5i. Does this project involve (1) blasting, and/or (2) other percussive activities that will be conducted by machines, such as jackhammers, mechanized pile drivers, etc.?
r Yes r No
5j. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat?
The NC Natural Heritage Programs Data Explorer Map was used to search for elemental occurrences of federally protected species listed within and
within 1 mile of the project boundaries. It was determined based on the search that there is one (1) elemental occurrence that is listed as federally
Threatened/Endangered within or within 1 mile of the project boundaries. The Cape Fear Shiner is federally listed as Endangered and has historically
been found in Neill's Creek. The southeastern property boundary of the project is Neill's Creek, there are no proposed impacts to Neill's Creek.

AUTHORIZED MARCH 19, 2017
Utility Line Activities. Activities required for the construction, maintenance, repair, and
removal of utility lines and associated facilities in waters of the United States, provided the
activity does not result in the loss of greater than 1/2-acre of waters of the United States for
each single and complete project.
Utility lines: This NWP authorizes discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the
United States and structures or work in navigable waters for crossings of those waters
associated with the construction, maintenance, or repair of utility lines, including outfall and
intake structures. There must be no change in pre -construction contours of waters of the
United States. A "utility line" is defined as any pipe or pipeline for the transportation of any
gaseous, liquid, liquescent, or slurry substance, for any purpose, and any cable, line, or wire
for the transmission for any purpose of electrical energy, telephone, and telegraph messages,
and internet, radio, and television communication. The term "utility line" does not include
activities that drain a water of the United States, such as drainage tile or french drains, but it
does apply to pipes conveying drainage from another area.
Material resulting from trench excavation may be temporarily sidecast into waters of the
United States for no more than three months, provided the material is not placed in such a
manner that it is dispersed by currents or other forces. The district engineer may extend the
period of temporary side casting for no more than a total of 180 days, where appropriate. In
wetlands, the top 6 to 12 inches of the trench should normally be backfilled with topsoil from
the trench. The trench cannot be constructed or backfilled in such a manner as to drain waters
of the United States (e.g., backfilling with extensive gravel layers, creating a french drain
effect). Any exposed slopes and stream banks must be stabilized immediately upon
completion of the utility line crossing of each waterbody.
Utility line substations: This NWP authorizes the construction, maintenance, or expansion of
substation facilities associated with a power line or utility line in non -tidal waters of the
United States, provided the activity, in combination with all other activities included in one
single and complete project, does not result in the loss of greater than 1/2-acre of waters of
the United States. This NWP does not authorize discharges into non -tidal wetlands adjacent
to tidal waters of the United States to construct, maintain, or expand substation facilities.
Foundations for overhead utility line towers, poles, and anchors: This NWP authorizes the
construction or maintenance of foundations for overhead utility line towers, poles, and
anchors in all waters of the United States, provided the foundations are the minimum size
necessary and separate footings for each tower leg (rather than a larger single pad) are used
where feasible.

located in a red HUC, but the activity will NOT include: tree clearing/removal;
construction/installation of wind turbines; bridge removal or maintenance, unless
the bridge has been inspected and there is no evidence of bat use, and/or; aM
percussive activities.
B. Procedures when the USACE is not the lead federal agency:
For projects where another federal agency is the lead federal agency - if that other federal agency
has completed project -specific ESA Section 7(a)(2) consultation for the NLEB, and has (1)
determined that the project would not cause prohibited incidental take of the NLEB, and (2)
completed coordination/consultation that is required by the USFWS (per the directions on the
respective USFWS office's website), that project may proceed without notification to either the
USACE or the USFWS, provided all General and Regional Permit Conditions are met.
The NLEB SLOPES can be viewed on the USACE website at the following World Wide Web
Page: http://www.saw.usace.anny.mil/Missions/Regulatory-Permit-Pro rg am/Agency-
Coordination/ESA/. Permittees who do not have internet access may contact the USACE at (910)

3.14 Work on Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians Land
All PCNs submitted for activities in waters of the United States on Eastern Band of Cherokee
Indians (EBCI) trust land (i.e., Qualla Boundary and non-contiguous tracts of trust land), must
comply with the requirements of the latest MOU between the Wilmington District and the
Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.
4.0 Additional Regional Conditions for Specific Nationwide Permits
4.1 NWP #12 - Utility Line Activities
4.1.1 Pipeline/utility line construction through jurisdictional waters and wetlands will be
accomplished utilizing directional drilling/boring methods to the maximum extent practicable.
4.1.2 Temporary discharge of excavated or fill material into wetlands and waters of the United
States will be for the absolute minimum period of time necessary to accomplish the work.
Temporary discharges will be fully contained with appropriate erosion control or containment
methods or otherwise such fills will consist of non -erodible materials.
4.1.3 The work area authorized by this permit, including temporary and/or permanent fills, will
be minimized to the greatest extent practicable. Justification for work corridors exceeding forty
(40) feet in width is required and will be based on pipeline diameter and length, size of
equipment required to construct the utility line, and other construction information deemed
necessary to support the request. The permittee is required to provide this information to the
Corps with the initial notification package.
9M

4.1.4 Excavated materials shall be returned to the excavated areas and any remaining materials
shall be disposed of in uplands, unless the Corps authorizes disposal in waters of the United
States.
4.1.5 In areas where a sub -aqueous utility line is to cross a federally -maintained channel, (i.e.,
the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway [AIWW]), the line will be buried at least six (6) feet below
the allowable overdepth of the authorized channel, including all side slopes. For areas outside
federally -maintained channels, sub -aqueous lines must be installed at a minimum depth of two
(2) feet below the substrate when such lines might interfere with navigation.
4.1.6 The minimum clearance*(see NOTE in 4.1.7) for aerial communication lines, or any lines
not transmitting electrical power, will be ten (10) feet above the clearance required for nearby
stationary bridges as established by the U.S. Coast Guard. In the event the U.S. Coast Guard has
not established a bridge clearance, minimum vertical clearances for power and aerial lines will
not be less than required by Section 23, Rule 232, of the latest revision of the National Electrical
Safety Code (ANSI C2). Clearances will not be less than shown in Table 232-1, Item 7, ANSI
C2.
4.1.7 The minimum clearance* for an aerial line, transmitting electrical power, is based on the
low point of the line under conditions that produce the greatest sag, taking into consideration
temperature, load, wind, length or span and the type of supports. The minimum clearance for an
aerial electrical power transmission line crossing navigable waters of the United States, where
there is an established bridge clearance established by the U.S. Coast Guard, shall be governed
by the system voltage, as indicated below:
Nominal System
Minimum Clearance
Voltage, kilovolt

*NOTE: Minimum clearance is the distance measured between the lowest point of a stationary
bridge, including gny infrastructure attached to underside of the bridge, and the Mean High
Water (MHW) of the navigable waters of the United States beneath the bridge.
4.1.8 On navigable waters of the United States, including all federal navigation projects, where
there is no bridge for reference for minimum clearance, the proposed project will need to be
reviewed by the Corps in order to determine the minimum clearance between the line and MHW
necessary to protect navigational interests.
37

4.1.9 A plan to restore and re -vegetate wetland areas cleared for construction must be submitted
with the required PCN. Cleared wetland areas shall be re -vegetated to the maximum extent
practicable with native species of canopy, shrub, and herbaceous species. Fescue grass shall not
be used.
4.1.10 Any permanently maintained corridor along the utility right of way within forested
wetlands shall be considered a permanent impact. A compensatory mitigation plan will be
required for all such impacts associated with the requested activity if the activity requires PCN
and the cumulative total of permanent forested wetland impacts exceeds 1/10-acre, unless the
District Engineer determines in writing that either some other form of mitigation would be more
environmentally appropriate or the adverse effects of the proposed activity are minimal.
For permanent forested wetland impacts of 1/10-acre or less, the District Engineer may
determine, on a case -by -case basis, that compensatory mitigation is required to ensure that the
activity results in minimal adverse effects on the aquatic environment.
4.1.11 Use of rip -rap or any other engineered structures to stabilize a stream bed should be
avoided to the maximum extent practicable. If riprap stabilization is needed, it should be placed
only on the stream banks, or, if it is necessary to be placed in the stream bed, the finished top
elevation of the riprap should not exceed that of the original stream bed.
4.1.12 When directional boring or horizontal directional drilling (HDD) under waters of the
United States, including wetlands, permittees shall closely monitor the project for hydraulic
fracturing or "fracking." Any discharge from hydraulic fracturing or "fracking" into waters of
the United States, including wetlands, shall be reported to the appropriate Corps Regulatory
Field Office within 48 hours. Restoration and/or compensatory mitigation may be required as a
result of any unintended discharges.
4.1.13 For purposes of this NWP, the term utility line does not include pipes or culverts
associated with driveways, roadways, lots, etc.
4.1.14 The permittee shall submit a PCN to the District Engineer prior to commencing the
activity if the activity will involve the discharge of dredged or fill material into more than 1/10-
acre of wetlands or 150 linear feet of stream channel for the construction of temporary access
fills and/or temporary road crossings. The PCN must include a restoration plan that thoroughly
describes how all temporary fills will be removed, describes how pre -project conditions will be
restored, and includes a timetable for all restoration activities.

3. In accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .0506(h) and Session Law 2017-10, compensatory
mitigation may be required for losses of greater than 300 linear feet of perennial streams
and/or greater than one (1) acre of wetlands. Impacts associated with the removal of a
dam shall not require mitigation when the removal complies with the requirements of Part
3 of Article 21 in Chapter 143 of the North Carolina General Statutes. Impacts to isolated
and other non-404 jurisdictional wetlands shall not be combined with 404 jurisdictional
wetlands for the purpose of determining when impact thresholds trigger a mitigation
requirement. For linear publicly owned and maintained transportation projects that are not
determined to be part of a larger common plan of development by the US Army Corps of
Engineers, compensatory mitigation may be required for losses of greater than 300 linear
feet per perennial stream.
Compensatory stream and/or wetland mitigation shall be proposed and completed in
compliance with G.S. 143-214.11. For applicants proposing to conduct mitigation within a
project site, a complete mitigation proposal developed in accordance with the most recent
guidance issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington District shall be submitted
for review and approval with the application for impacts.
4. All activities shall be in compliance with any applicable State Regulated Riparian Buffer
Rules in Chapter 2 of Title 15A.
5. When applicable, all construction activities shall be performed and maintained in full
compliance with G.S. Chapter 113A Article 4 (Sediment and Pollution Control Act of 1973).
Regardless of applicability of the Sediment and Pollution Control Act, all projects shall
incorporate appropriate Best Management Practices for the control of sediment and
erosion so that no violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur. [15A
NCAC 02H .0506 (b)(3) and (c)(3) and 15A NCAC 02B .0200]

stormwater routing and treatment shall be on site at all times.
Page 5 of 12

GC4133
For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures shall be designed,
installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the
North Carolina Surface Mining Manual. Reclamation measures and implementation shall
comply with the reclamation in accordance with the requirements of the Sedimentation
Pollution Control Act and the Mining Act of 1971.
If the project occurs in waters or watersheds classified as Primary Nursery Areas (PNAs), SA,
WS-I, WS-li, High Quality Waters (HQW), or Outstanding Resource Waters (ORW), then the
sedimentation and erosion control designs shall comply with the requirements set forth in
15A NCAC 04B .0124, Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds.
6. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters except
within the footprint of temporary or permanent impacts authorized under this Certification.
Exceptions to this condition require application to and written approval from DWR. [15A
NCAC 02H .0501 and .0502]
7. Erosion control matting that incorporates plastic mesh and/or plastic twine shall not be
used along streambanks or within wetlands. Exceptions to this condition require
application to and written approval from DWR. [15A NCAC 026 .0201]
8. An NPDES Construction Stormwater Permit (NCG010000) is required for construction
projects that disturb one (1) or more acres of land. The NCGO10000 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
version of their individual NPDES (NCS000250) stormwater permit. [15A NCAC 02H
.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

CC4133
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)]
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.
Page 7 of 12

GC4133
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)]
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)]
Page 8 of 12

GC4133
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.
20. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters shall be inspected and maintained
regularly to prevent contamination of stream 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 026 .0211(12)]
21. Heavy equipment working in wetlands shall be placed on mats or other measures shall be
taken to minimize soil disturbance. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(3) and (c)(3)]

02H .1017.
b. Provide calculations to document that the project will not cause degradation of
downstream surface waters. Documentation shall include a detailed analysis of the
hydrological impacts from stormwater runoff when considering the volume and velocity
of stormwater runoff from the project built upon area and the size and existing
condition of the receiving stream(s).
Exceptions to this condition require application to and written approval from DWR.
II. GENERAL CONDITIONS:
1. When written authorization is required, the plans and specifications for the project are
incorporated into the authorization by reference and are an enforceable part of the
Certification. Any modifications to the project require notification to DWR and may require
an application submittal to DWR with the appropriate fee. [15A NCAC 02H .0501 and .0502]
2. No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands or waters beyond the
footprint of the impacts (including temporary impacts) as authorized in the written approval
from DWR; or beyond the thresholds established for use of this Certification without
written authorization. [15A NCAC 02H .0501 and .0502]
No removal of vegetation or other impacts of any kind shall occur to state regulated riparian
buffers beyond the footprint of impacts approved in a Buffer Authorization or Variance or
as listed as an exempt activity in the applicable riparian buffer rules. [15A NCAC 02B .0200]
3. In accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .0506(h) and Session Law 2017-10, compensatory
mitigation may be required for losses of greater than 300 linear feet of perennial streams
and/or greater than one (1) acre of wetlands. Impacts associated with the removal of a
dam shall not require mitigation when the removal complies with the requirements of Part
3 of Article 21 in Chapter 143 of the North Carolina General Statutes. Impacts to isolated
and other non-404 jurisdictional wetlands shall not be combined with 404 jurisdictional
wetlands for the purpose of determining when impact thresholds trigger a mitigation
requirement. For linear publicly owned and maintained transportation projects that are not
determined to be part of a larger common plan of development by the US Army Corps of
Engineers, compensatory mitigation may be required for losses of greater than 300 linear
feet per perennial stream.
Page 4 of 11

GG4139
Compensatory stream and/or wetland mitigation shall be proposed and completed in
compliance with G.S. 143-214.11. For applicants proposing to conduct mitigation within a

Page 5 of 11

GC4139
8. An NPDES Construction Stormwater Permit (NCGO10000) 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
version of their individual NPDES (NCS000250) stormwater permit. [15A NCAC 02H
.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

GC4139
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

GC4139
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

GC4139
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 026.0211(12)]
21. Heavy equipment working in wetlands shall be placed on mats or other measures shall be
taken to minimize soil disturbance. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(3) and (c)(3)]
