APPROVAL OF STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
Dear Mr. Smith:
On January 31, 2007, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) issued a 401 Water Quality Certification and
Neuse River Basin Buffer Authorization to impact the following as described in your modified
application dated January 11, 2007 for the purpose of constructing the Woodcreek Residential
Subdivision:
• 0.49 acres of wetland (0.37 acres permanent impact, 0.12 acres temporary impact),
• 345 linear feet of perennial stream (255 linear feet permanent impact, 901inear feet temporary
impact),
• 231 linear feet of intermittent stream (209 linear feet permanent impacts, 221inear feet temporary
impact),
• 43,348 square feet (ftz) of protected Zone 1 Neuse River basin riparian buffer, and
• 27,817 square feet (ftZ) of protected Zone 2 Neuse River basin riparian buffer
In order to meet Condition 7 of the 401 Certification for this project, a stormwater management plan pertinent to
the Recreation Tract of Woodcreek Subdivision was received by the DWQ on March 1, 2007. A revision to the
stormwater management plan was received on July 5, 2007. This Plan has been reviewed and satisfies the
stormwater management conditions of the 401 Water Quality Certification.
The structural stormwater practices as approved by DWQ 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. Stormwater easements shall be recorded for a distance
of at least 10 feet on each side of all stormwater conveyances on all lots containing these structures
including future access for maintenance. The stormwater easements shall allow for the ability to maintain
the structures, perform corrective actions as described above and shall provide protection of the structures
from potential alternations by future property owners.
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 me at 919-715-3425.
