If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this approval letter and General Certifications) /Permit /Authorization and is responsible for complying with all conditions. 3. Deed notifications /restrictive covenants or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all retained jurisdictional wetlands, waters and protective buffers as depicted in order to assure compliance for future wetland, water and buffer impact. These mechanisms shall be put in place when the lots are recorded. A sample deed notification can be downloaded from the 401 /Wetlands Unit web site at http:// h2o.enr.state.nc.us /ncwetiands. The text of the sample deed notification may be modified as appropriate to suit to this project. The USACE's Restrictive Beaver Creek Investors, Inc. Attn: John Pierce February 21, 2014 DWR Project # 20130948 Page 3 of 7 Covenant language can be found on their web site at: http: / /www.saw.usace.army.mil/ wetlands /Mitieation /preservation.html. 4. Wetland Boundary Protective Fencing The wetlands within 50 feet of areas of disturbance shall be clearly marked with orange warning fencing (or similar high visibility material) to protect the remaining wetlands onsite from being impacted. This shall be done during the initial stage of construction. 5. Any final construction plans for this project must include or reference the application and plans approved by the Division under this authorization letter and certification. It shall be the responsibility of the permitee to review all construction drawings with the approved permit drawings to determine that the drawings are consistent. Documentation via letter or e-mail must be provided to the Division prior to the start of construction confirming that the construction drawings are consistent with the permitted drawings. If the drawings are not consistent, the applicant is required to notify the Division, c/o Joanne Steenhuis Wilmington Regional Office and address the inconsistencies prior to working in wetlands. 6. All mechanized equipment will be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent contamination of waters and wetlands from hydrocarbons or other potential toxic chemicals. In the event of a hydrocarbon or chemical spill, the permitee /contractor shall immediately contact the Division of Water Quality, between the hours of 8 am to 5 pm at the Wilmington regional office at 910.796.7215 or Steve Lewis at 919.807.6308 and after hours and on weekends call the USCG National Response. 7. Fueling, lubrication and general equipment maintenance should not take place within 50 feet of a waterbody or wetlands to prevent contamination by fuel and oils. 8. Turbidity Standard The turbidity standard of 25 NTUs (Nephelometric Turbidity Units) shall not be exceeded as described in 15 A NCAC 02B.0221. Appropriate sediment and erosion control practices must be used to meet this standard. 9. 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 (http: / /www.ncdot.ore /doh /operations /BMP manual /download /BMP Manual pdf) Beaver Creek Investors, Inc. Attn: John Pierce February 21, 2014 DWR Project # 20130948 Page 4 of 7 such as sandbags, rock berms, cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent excavation in flowing water. 10. 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 DWQ. 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 Quality. All approved rip -rap shall be appropriately keyed in and only placed in wetland and stream areas that have permitted impacts. 11. Work in the Dry All work in or adjacent to stream waters 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 DOT Construction and Maintenance Activities Manual, such as sandbags, rock berms, cofferdams, and other diversion structures shall be used to minimize excavation in flowing water. Beaver Creek Investors, Inc. Attn: John Pierce February 21, 2014 DWR Project # 20130948 Page 5 of 7 12. 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. 13. The restored wetland areas will need to be monitored quarterly for at least two years for indications of instability, erosion, sloughing, plants not surviving with photo documentation and any remediation that may be necessary. The monitoring may be extended up to another 3 years, if the restoration sites have not adequately recovered. 14. Any violations of this condition including turbidity and failed silt fences MUST be reported to the Wilmington Regional Office immediately at 910.796.7215. 15. Continuing Compliance Beaver Creek Investors, Inc. 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. Beaver Creek Investors, Inc. shall require its 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 Beaver Creek Investors, Inc. 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 Beaver Creek Investors, Inc. in writing, shall be provided to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for reference in any Permit issued pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and shall also become conditions of the 404 Permit for the project. 16.
