APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
Dear Mr. Arant:
The City of Greensboro has our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place temporary fill
associated with trenching and backfilling in 140 linear feet of perennial stream and to place permanent fill in 95
linear feet of perennial stream in order to install new water mains within the Sedgefield Country Club, Inc. golf
course located on Alamance, Mecklenburg, and Dorchester roads in Guilford County, as described in your
application received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on May 16, 2007 and in additional information
received by DWQ on June 14, 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
http://www.ncwaterquality.or>;/wetlands.html. 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 Erosion and Sediment 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, or total fill to perennial streams equals or exceeds 150 linear feet, 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:
1. 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 235 linear feet Two stream reaches of Reddicks Creek and two stream reaches of
an unnamed tributary to Reddicks Creek all located within the
Sedgefield Country Club golf course as depicted on the Project
Location Ma included with the Pre-Construction Notification
2. Appropriate sediment and erosion control measures, which equal or exceed those outlined in the most
recent version of the North Carolina Erosion and Sediment 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 WS-IV waters as described in 1 SA NCAC 02B .0216 Fresh Surface Water
Quality Standards For Class WS-IV Waters. 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.
3. Erosion and sediment control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum extent
practicable. If placement of erosion and sediment 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.
4. 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 erosion and sediment control "Best
Management Practices" shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality standards,
statutes, or rules occur.
5. If concrete is used with any fill material, it shall not be allowed to come in contact with surface waters
until it has cured.
6. Where riprap is required for energy dissipation and scour protection, it shall be limited to the minimum
dimensions specified by appropriate engineering calculations. 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
7. The proposed project must comply with the City of Greensboro's water supply ordinance approved by
the N.C. Environmental Management Commission (EMC) as required under the Randleman Lake Water
Supply Watershed: Protection and Maintenance of Riparian Areas (Randleman Buffer Rule) 15A NCAC
02B .0250.

8. Upon completion of the project, the Applicant shall fill out and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" form to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been
finished. This certificate should be returned to the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the NC
Division of Water Quality 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-
49>9 or Ian McMillan in the Wetlands/401 Central Office in Raleigh at 919-715-4631.
