APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Almond:
The City of Reidsville has our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill in 12 linear feet
of perennial stream in order to install the Crosspointe Gravity Sewer Extension in Reidsville, Rockingham
County, as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on May 22, 2007.
After reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality
Certification Number 3625, which can be viewed on our web site at htt_p://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. This
Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 12 when it is issued by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers. In addition, you should secure any other applicable federal, state or local permits before you
proceed with your project, including (but not limited to) those required by Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-
Discharge, and Water Supply Watershed .regulations. Also, this approval will expire when the accompanying
404 permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
This approval is valid only for the purpose and design that you have described in your application. If you
change your project, you must notify us in writing and you may be required to send us a new application for a
new certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the 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 maybe required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506
(h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification, as
well as the additional conditions listed below:
The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all other specific and general conditions of the
Certification are met. No other impacts, including incidental impacts, are approved:
Amount A roved Plan Location or Reference
Streams 121inear feet Unnamed tributary to Wolf Island Creek in the area of NC Highway

2. Soft bank stabilization methods, such as the use of erosion control matting and the planting of
appropriate ground cover, shall be utilized to the maximum extent practicable. Riprap may only be used
below the normal high water level. The original grade and elevation of the stream's cross-section must
be maintained. Riprap placed in the stream bottom must be inserted into the bottom matrix to a depth
sufficient to provide the thickness of riprap required for scour protection. The elevation of the stream
bottom must not be increased by the placement of riprap. Placement of riprap must not result in
destabilization of the streambed or banks upstream or downstream of any crossing.
3. Appropriate sediment and erosion control measures, which equal or exceed those outlined in the most
recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosiora Control Planning and Design Manual or the
North Carolina Surface Mining Manual (available from the Division of Land Resources at NCDENR
regional offices or the central office), whichever is more appropriate, shall be designed, installed and
maintained properly to assure compliance at all times with the North Carolina water quality standards
that are applicable to Class C waters as described in 1 SA NCAC 02B .0211 Fresh Surface Water Quality
Standards For Class C Waters. Such measures must equal or exceed the requirements specified in the
most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. These measures must
be maintained on all construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) sites, including contractor
owned and leased borrow pits, which are associated with this project.
4. 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 measures in wetlands or waters is
unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored within six months of the date that the
project is completed or, if applicable, within six months of the date that the project is released by the
North Carolina Division of Land Resources.
5. 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 Pre-Construction Notification. 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.
6. Permanent, maintained access corridors shall be restricted to a maximum width of 20 feet, including
manhole locations and vehicle turnaround areas.
7. Where joints must be placed in sewer lines within the foot print of the stream channel at crossings
having topographic and bedrock constraints, the jointed section shall either be completely enclosed in a
steel encasement pipe sealed at both ends, for aerial crossings, or encased in concrete from bank to bank,
for buried crossings. At its discretion, the City of Reidsville may use ductile iron pipe with
mechanically restrained joints in lieu of concrete encasement.
8. If concrete is used with any fill material, it shall not be allowed to come in contact with surface waters
until it has cured.

9. Upon finishing the project, the Applicant shall fill out and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been completed.
This certificate should be returned to the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the NCDWQ at the address
listed on the form. Along with the Certificate of Completion form, please send photographs upstream
and downstream of each stream-crossing site to document correct installation.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You
must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition
which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative
Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This certification and its conditions are final
and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If
you have any questions, please telephone Daryl Lamb in the DWQ Winston-Salem Regional Office at 336-771-
4600 or Ian McMillan in the Wetlands/401 Unit Central Office in Raleigh at 919-715-4631.
