11. Culvert Installation
All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved
BMP measures from the most current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance
Activities manual (tt: / /wcot.r /�opertis/ manual /oloa
P qn. aj f) such as sandbags, rock berms, cofferdams and other diversion structures
shall be used to prevent excavation in flowing water.
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 are installed in
a perched manner, the pipes shall be removed and re- installed correctly.
All authorized 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 dis- equilibrium of wetlands
or streambeds or banks, adjacent to or upstream and downstream of the above structures.
The applicant is required to provide evidence that the equilibrium shall be maintained if
requested in writing by DWR. Culverts shall be placed so that the opening(s) match the
natural stream channel wherever possible. Bank -full flows (or less) shall be accommodated
through maintenance of the existing bank -full channel. Additional culverts shall be allowed
only to receive flows exceeding bank -full. The low flow pipes should be aligned with the
deepest part of the stream channel, so that flow is maintained during low flow conditions.
Field adjustments of the culvert placements may be necessary to correctly install the
culverts..
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 Resources. All approved rip -rap shall be appropriately
keyed in and only placed in wetland and stream areas that have permitted impacts.

12. Construction Stormwater Permit NCG010000
An NPDES Construction Stormwater Permit is required for construction projects that disturb
one (1) or more acres of land. This Permit allows stormwater to be discharged during land
disturbing construction activities as stipulated in the conditions of the permit. If your
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. A copy of the general permit
(NCG010000), inspection log sheets, and other information may be found at:
.http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/Wglws/suZnpdessw#tab-w.
13. If concrete is used during the 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
due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life /fish kills.
14. A one -time application of fertilizer to re- establish vegetation is allowed in disturbed areas
including riparian buffers, but is restricted to no closer than 10 feet from top of bank of
streams. Any fertilizer application must comply with all other Federal, State and Local
regulations.
15. This Certification does not relieve the applicant of the responsibility to obtain all other
required Federal, State, or Local approvals.
16. Continuing Compliance
The US Marine Corps Camp Lejeune, Mr. Neal Paul, Deputy Public Works Officer shall
conduct construction activities in a manner consistent with State water quality standards
(including any requirements resulting from compliance with section 303(d) of the Clean
Water Act) and any other appropriate requirements of State and Federal law. The US
Marine Corps Camp Lejeune, Mr. Neal Paul, Deputy Public Works Officer shall require
their contractors (and /or agents) to comply with all of the terms of this Certification, and
shall provide each of its contractors (and /or agents) a copy of this Certification. A copy of
this Certification shall be included in the construction contract and available on the job
site at all times. If the Division determines that such standards or laws are not being met
(including the failure to sustain a designated or achieved use) or that State or federal law is
being violated, or that further conditions are necessary to assure compliance, the Division
may reevaluate and modify this Certification. Before modifying the Certification, the
Division shall notify the US Marine Corps Camp Lejeune, Mr. Neal Paul, Deputy Public Works
Officer and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, provide public notice in accordance with 15A
NCAC 02H .0503 and provide opportunity for public hearing in accordance with 15A NCAC
02H .0504. Any new or revised conditions shall be provided to the US Marine Corps Camp
Lejeune, Mr. Neal Paul, Deputy Public Works Officer in writing, shall be provided to the U.S.
