Dear Ms. Chaffin:
Attached hereto is a copy of Certification No. WQC004452 issued to Trinity Capital Advisors dated
September 8, 2021. This approval is for the purpose and design described in your application. The plans
and specifications for this project are incorporated by reference as part of this Water Quality Certification.
If you change your project, you must notify the Division and you may be required to submit a new
application package with the appropriate fee. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy
of this Certification and is responsible for complying with all conditions. [15A NCAC 02H .0507(d)(2)].
This Water Quality Certification does not relieve the permittee of the responsibility to obtain all other
required Federal, State, or Local approvals before proceeding with the project, including those required
by, but not limited to, Sediment and Erosion Control, Non -Discharge, Water Supply Watershed, and
Trout Buffer regulations.
This Water Quality Certification neither grants nor affirms any property right, license, or privilege in any
lands or waters, or any right of use in any waters. This Water Quality Certification does not authorize
any person to interfere with the riparian rights, littoral rights, or water use rights of any other person
and does not create any prescriptive right or any right of priority regarding any usage of water. This
Water Quality Certification shall not be interposed as a defense in any action respecting the
determination of riparian or littoral rights or other rights to water use. No consumptive user is deemed
by virtue of this Water Quality Certification to possess any prescriptive or other right of priority with
respect to any other consumptive user regardless of the quantity of the withdrawal or the date on which
the withdrawal was initiated or expanded.
Upon the presentation of proper credentials, the Division may inspect the property. This Water Quality
Certification shall expire on the same day as the expiration date of the corresponding Section 404
Permit. The conditions shall remain in effect for the life of the project, regardless of the expiration date
of this Water Quality Certification.

Water Quality Certification for the project and may also result in criminal and/or civil penalties.
If you are unable to comply with any of the conditions of this Water Quality Certification you must notify
the Mooresville Regional Office within 24 hours (or the next business day if a weekend or holiday) from
the time the permittee becomes aware of the circumstances.
The permittee shall report to the Mooresville Regional Office any noncompliance with, and/or any
violation of, stream or wetland standards [15A NCAC 02B .0200] including but not limited to sediment
impacts to streams or wetlands. Information shall be provided orally within 24 hours (or the next
business day if a weekend or holiday) from the time the permittee became aware of the non-compliance
circumstances.
This approval and its conditions are final and binding unless contested [G.S. 143-215.5]. Please be aware
that impacting waters without first applying for and securing the issuance of a 401 Water Quality
Certification violates Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) 2H .0500. Title 15A
NCAC 2H .0500 requires certifications pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean Water Act whenever
construction or operation of facilities will result in a discharge into navigable waters, including wetlands,
as described in 33 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 323. It also states any person desiring
issuance of the State certification or coverage under a general certification required by Section 401 of
the Federal Water Pollution Control Act shall file with the Director of the North Carolina Division of

Justification: A project that affects waters shall not be permitted unless the existing uses, and the
water quality to protect such uses, are protected. In determining that the proposed activity will
comply with state water quality standards (including designated uses, numeric criteria, narrative
criteria and the state's antidegradation policy), the project must provide for replacement of existing
uses through compensatory mitigation.

2. Stormwater Management: The applicant may provide documentation that the project will not impair
water quality to the receiving stream(s) from stormwater runoff or provide an approved stormwater
management plan. Any high density project and/or project that exceeds density thresholds must
provide a stormwater management plan for the entire project, for review and approval including all
forms and pertinent items that complies with the high density development requirements. Low
density development shall meet all condition for stormwater management required by the state and
be reviewed if required. The plan may be approved by the Division, State Stormwater Program or a
local delegated authority. The plan shall consider the impact of the volume and velocity of discharge
and runoff to the receiving stream and adjacent riparian areas to prevent scouring and erosions of the
features.

.0607(h)
Justification: In order to protect against impairment of water quality standards and best usage of
receiving and downstream waters, water quality based management practices must be employed to
protect against direct or indirect discharge of waste or other sources of water pollution. Surface
water quality standards require that conditions of waters be suitable for all best uses provided for in
state rule (including, at minimum: aquatic life propagation, survival, and maintenance of biological
integrity, wildlife, secondary contact recreation, agriculture) and that activities must not cause water
pollution that precludes any best use on a short-term or long-term basis. In determining that the
proposed activity will comply with state water quality standards (including designated uses, numeric
criteria, narrative criteria and the state's antidegradation policy), the Division must evaluate if the
activity has avoided and minimized impacts to waters, would cause or contribute to a violation of
standards, or would result in secondary or cumulative impacts
3. Diversion Ditches and other storm water conveyances as related to the sediment and erosion control
measures shall be matted and/or stabilized to reduce sediment loss and turbidity. This includes
interior/exterior slopes of sediment basins. 15A NCAC 02H .0506 (b)(3) and (c)(3)
Justification: Failure to reduce erosion of runoff conveyances and to provide for maximum reduction of
erosion on areas not related to ongoing construction, shortens basin holding times, increases turbidity
of discharge and creates a greater potential of bypass discharge.
4. Bare/fill slopes in excess of 10 feet in height and within 30 feet of surface waters shall be matted. 15A
NCAC 02H .0506 (b)(1) and15A NCAC 02H .502 (c)
Justification: A project that affects waters shall not be permitted unless the existing uses, and the water
quality to protect such uses, are protected. In determining that the proposed activity will comply with
state water quality standards (including designated uses, numeric criteria, narrative criteria and the
state's antidegradation policy), the Division must evaluate if the activity has avoided and minimized
impacts to waters, would cause or contribute to a violation of standards or would result in secondary or
cumulative impacts
5. The permittee shall report to the DWR Mooresville Regional Office any noncompliance with, and/or
any violation of, stream or wetland standards [15A NCAC 02B .0200], including but not limited to

sediment impacts to streams or wetlands. Information shall be provided orally within 24 hours (or
the next business day if a weekend or holiday) from the time the permittee became aware of the
non-compliance circumstances.
Citation: 15A NCAC 02H .0506(b); 15A NCAC 02H .0507(c)
Justification: Timely reporting of non-compliance is important in identifying and minimizing
detrimental impacts to water quality and avoiding impacts due to water pollution that precludes any
best use on a short-term or long-term basis.
6. No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands or waters beyond the footprint of
the approved impacts (including temporary impacts).
Citation: 15A NCAC 02H .0506, 15A NCAC 02H .0507(c)
Justification: Surface water quality standards require that conditions of waters be suitable for all best
uses provided for in state rule (including, at minimum: aquatic life propagation, survival, and
maintenance of biological integrity, wildlife, secondary contact recreation; agriculture), and that
activities must not cause water pollution that precludes any best use on a short-term or long-term
basis.
7. 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 Department of Transportation
Construction and Maintenance Activities Manual, such as sandbags, rock berms, cofferdams, and
other diversion structures shall be used to minimize excavation in flowing water.
Citation: 15A NCAC 02H .0506(b); 15A NCAC 02H .0507(c); 15A NCAC 028.0200
Justification: Surface water quality standards require that conditions of waters be suitable for all best
uses provided for in state rule, and that activities must not cause water pollution that precludes any
best use on a short-term or long-term basis. As cited in Stream Standards: (12) Oils, deleterious
substances, or colored or other wastes: only such amounts as shall not render the waters injurious to
public health, secondary recreation, or to aquatic life and wildlife, or adversely affect the palatability
offish, aesthetic quality, or impair the waters for any designated uses; and (21) turbidity in the
receiving water shall not exceed 50 Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU) in streams not designated
as trout waters and 10 NTU in streams, lakes, or reservoirs designated as trout waters; for lakes and
reservoirs not designated as trout waters, the turbidity shall not exceed 25 NTU; if turbidity exceeds
these levels due to natural background conditions, the existing turbidity level shall not be increased.
8. 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.
