The application provides adequate assurance that the discharge of fill material into the waters of the Cape Fear River
Basin in conjunction with the proposed development will not result in a violation of applicable Water Quality Standards
and discharge guidelines. Therefore, the State of North Carolina certifies that this activity will not violate the applicable
portions of Sections 301, 302, 303, 306, 307 of PL 92 -500 and PL 95 -217 if conducted in accordance with the application
and conditions hereinafter set forth.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you submitted in your application dated received August 27,
2013. Should your project change, you are required to notify the NCDWR and submit a new application. If the property
is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval letter, and is thereby responsible for
complying with all the conditions. If any additional wetland impacts, or stream impacts, for this project (now or in the
future) exceed one acre or 150 linear feet, respectively, additional compensatory mitigation may be required as described
in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). For this approval to remain valid, you are required to comply with all the
conditions listed below. In addition, you should obtain all other federal, state or local permits before proceeding with
your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion control, Coastal Stormwater, Non - discharge and Water
Supply watershed regulations. This Certification shall expire on the same day as the expiration date of the corresponding
Corps of Engineers Permit.
Conditions of Certification:
Project Specific Conditions:
1. The NCDOT Division Environmental Officer or Environmental Assistant will conduct a pre- construction
meeting with all appropriate staff to ensure that the project supervisor and essential staff understand the potential
issues with stream and pipe alignment at permitted sites. NCDWR staff shall be invited to the pre - construction
meeting.
Mitigation For U- 252513:
a. Compensatory mitigation for impacts to 8,083 linear feet of streams at a replacement ratio of 1:1 is
required. Partial compensatory mitigation for impacts to jurisdictional streams shall be provided by
onsite stream relocations of 2,055 linear feet of stream. The onsite stream relocation shall be
constructed in accordance with the design submitted in your August 27, 2013 application. All on -site
mitigation sites shall be protected in perpetuity by a conservation easement or through NCDOT fee
simple-acquisition and recorded in the NCDOT Natural Environment Unit mitigation geodatabase.
Please be reminded that as- builts for the completed streams shall be submitted to the North Carolina
Division of Water Resources 401 Wetlands Unit with the as- builts for the rest of the project. If the
parameters of this condition are not met, then the permittee shall supply additional stream mitigation for
the 2,055 linear feet of impacts. All channel relocations will be constructed in a dry work area, will be
completed and stabilized, and must be approved on site by NCDWR staff prior to diverting water into
the new channel. Whenever possible, channel relocations shall be allowed to stabilize for an entire
growing season. All stream relocations shall have a 50 -foot wide native wooded buffer planted on both
sides of the stream unless otherwise authorized by this Certification. A transitional phase incorporating
rolled erosion control product (RECP) and appropriate temporary ground cover is allowable.
The stream mitigation site shall be monitored annually for five years or until success criteria are
satisfied. Monitoring protocols shall follow the Monitoring Level I outlined in the Stream Mitigation
Guidelines, April 2003.
Success of the mitigation site shall be determined by the NCDWR during an on -site visit at or near the
end of the monitoring period.
b. For the remaining required compensatory mitigation of 6,028 linear feet, we understand that you have,
chosen to perform compensatory mitigation for impacts to streams through the North Carolina
Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP), and that the EEP has agreed to implement the mitigation for
the project. EEP has indicated in a letter dated October 22, 2013 that they will assume responsibility for
satisfying the federal Clean Water Act compensatory mitigation requirements for the above - referenced
project, in accordance with the EEP Mitigation Banking Instrument signed July 28, 2010.
Compensatory mitigation for impacts to 7.54 acres of wetlands is required. We understand that you
have chosen to perform compensatory mitigation for impacts to wetlands through the North Carolina
Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP), and that the EEP has agreed to implement the mitigation for
the project. EEP has indicated in a letter dated October 22, 2013 that they will assume responsibility for
satisfying the federal Clean Water Act compensatory mitigation requirements for the above - referenced
project, in accordance with EEP's Mitigation Banking Instrument signed July 28, 2010.
d. This project is located within the Jordan Lake watershed and therefore requires mitigation for impacts to
riparian buffers per 15A NCAC 02b .0262. However, Merger 01 Concurrence Point 4A (avoidance and
minimization) occurred in April 2006, prior to the implementation of this rule, thereby exempting this
project from required riparian buffer mitigation. Appropriate avoidance, minimization, and BMPs shall
still be implemented.
Mitigation for U- 2525C:
a. Compensatory mitigation for 12,646 linear feet of impact to streams is required. We understand that
you have chosen to perform compensatory mitigation for impacts to streams through the North Carolina
Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP), and that the EEP has agreed to implement the mitigation for
the project. EEP has indicated in a letter dated October 22, 2013 that they will assume responsibility for
satisfying the federal Clean Water Act compensatory mitigation requirements for the above - referenced
project, in accordance with the EEP Mitigation Banking Instrument signed July 28, 2010.
Compensatory mitigation for impacts to 2.4 acres of wetlands is required. We understand that you have
chosen to perform compensatory mitigation for impacts to wetlands through the North Carolina
Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP), and that the EEP has agreed to implement the mitigation for
the project. EEP has indicated in a letter dated October 22, 2013 that they will assume responsibility for
satisfying the federal Clean Water Act compensatory mitigation requirements for the above - referenced
project, in accordance with EEP's Mitigation Banking Instrument signed July 28, 2010.
c. This project is located within the Jordan Lake watershed and therefore requires mitigation for impacts to
riparian buffers per 15A NCAC 02b .0262. However, Merger 01 Concurrence Point 4A (avoidance and
minimization) occurred in April 2006, prior to the implementation of this rule, thereby exempting this
project from required riparian buffer mitigation. Appropriate avoidance, minimization, and BMPs shall
still be implemented.
4. When final design plans are completed for U- 2525C, a modification to the 401 Water Quality Certification shall
be submitted with five copies and fees to the NC Division of Water Resources. Final designs shall reflect all
appropriate avoidance, minimization, and mitigation for impacts to wetlands, streams, and other surface waters,
and buffers. No construction activities that impact any wetlands, streams, surface waters, or buffers located in
U -2525C shall begin until after the permittee applies for, and receives a written modification of the 401 Water
Quality Certification from the NC Division of Water Resources.
General Conditions:
5. If multiple pipes or barrels are required, they shall be designed to mimic natural stream cross section as closely
as possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and /or sills where appropriate. Widening the
stream channel should be avoided. Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically
decreases water velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and disrupts aquatic
life passage.
6. Riprap shall not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes
aquatic life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed, sized and installed.
7. The stream channel shall be excavated no deeper than the natural bed material of the stream, to the maximum
extent practicable. Efforts must be made to minimize impacts to the stream banks, as well as to vegetation
responsible for maintaining the stream bank stability. Any applicable riparian buffer impact for access to stream
channel shall be temporary and be revegetated with native riparian species.
8. Pipes and culverts used exclusively to maintain equilibrium in wetlands, where aquatic life passage is not a
concern, shall not be buried. These pipes shall be installed at natural ground elevation.
9. NCDOT shall be in compliance with the NCS00250 issued to the NCDOT, including the applicable requirements
of the NCGO1000. Please note the extra protections for the sensitive watersheds.
10. Tall fescue shall not be used in the establishment of temporary or permanent groundcover within riparian
areas. For the establishment of permanent herbaceous cover, erosion control matting shall be used in conjunction
with an appropriate native seed mix on disturbed soils within the riparian area and on disturbed steep slopes with
the following exception. Erosion control matting is not necessary if the area is contained by perimeter erosion
control devices such as silt fence, temporary sediment ditches, basins, etc. Matting should be secured in place
with staples, stakes, or wherever possible, live stakes of native trees. Erosion control matting placed in riparian
areas shall not contain a nylon mesh grid, which can impinge and entrap small animals. For the establishment of
temporary groundcover within riparian areas, hydroseeding along with wood or cellulose based hydro mulch
applied from a fertilizer- and limestone -free tank is allowable at the appropriate rate in conjunction with the
erosion control measures. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and wood or cellulose mulch into surface waters in
prohibited. Riparian areas are defined as a distance 25 feet landward from top of stream bank.
11. Unless otherwise approved in this certification, placement of culverts and other structures in open waters and
streams shall 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 down stream of the above structures. The applicant
is required to provide evidence that the equilibrium is being maintained if requested in writing by NCDWR. If
this condition is unable to be met due to bedrock or other limiting features encountered during construction,
please contact NCDWR for guidance on how to proceed and to determine whether or not a permit modification
will be required.
12. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact between
curing concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to
surface waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills.
13. During the construction of the project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of the U.S., or
protected riparian buffers.
14. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream above and below the crossing shall not be modified. Disturbed
floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
15. The use of rip -rap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any rip -rap placed for stream
stabilization shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage.
16. 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 such as sandbags, rock
berms, cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent excavation in flowing water.
17. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream.
18. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
19. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel except where authorized by this
certification.
20. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters unless otherwise approved by
this Certification.
21. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface
waters is prohibited.
22. The permittee and its authorized agents shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with State water quality
standards (including any requirements resulting from compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act) and any
other appropriate requirements of State and Federal law. If the NCDWR 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 NCDWR may reevaluate and
modify this certification.
23. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.
24. The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor approved by this
authorization shall be clearly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities. Impacts to
areas within the fencing are prohibited unless otherwise authorized by this certification.
25. The issuance of this certification does not exempt the Permittee from complying with any and all statutes, rules,
regulations, or ordinances that may be imposed by other government agencies (i.e. local, state, and federal)
having jurisdiction, including but not limited to applicable buffer rules, stormwater management rules, soil
erosion and sedimentation control requirements, etc.
26. Native riparian vegetation must be reestablished in the riparian areas within the construction limits of the project
by the end of the growing season following completion of construction.
27. There shall be no excavation from, or waste disposal into, jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this
permit without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites, or access roads to waste or borrow sites,
be located in wetlands or streams, compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from
road construction activities.
28. Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper
design, installation and operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect surface
waters standards:
a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion
Control Planning and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion control measures must
be such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the North
Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction
sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor -owned or leased borrow pits
associated with the project.
c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated,
and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining
Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with
the requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
29. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings
submitted for approval.
30. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Resources within 24 hours
of discovery.
31. A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be maintained on the construction site at all times. In addition,
the Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the Division
Engineer and the on -site project manager.
32. Upon completion of the project (including any impacts at associated borrow or waste sites), the NCDOT
Division Engineer shall complete and return the enclosed "Certification of Completion Form" to notify NCDWR
when all work included in the 401 Certification has been completed.
Any modifications to this 401 Water Quality Certification that propose additional stream impacts or increased impervious
surface requiring additional stormwater management may be subject the Jordan Water Supply Nutrient Strategy (15A
NCACO2B .0267). The NCDOT shall coordinate with the NCDWR prior to submitting a modification request to
determine the applicability of the Jordan Water Supply Nutrient Strategy. This condition does not apply to major
modifications for additional sections of the project that were covered under the Finding of No Significant Impact or
approved in the Avoidance and Minimization stage of the project.
Violations of any condition herein set forth may result in revocation of this Certification and may result in criminal and /or
civil penalties. This Certification shall become null and void unless the above conditions are made conditions of the
Federal 404 and /or Coastal Area Management Act Permit. This Certification shall expire upon the expiration of the 404
or CAMA permit.
