Approval of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions -Express Review
Program
Dear Mr. Williams:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill
within or otherwise impact 146 linear feet of perennial stream for the purpose of constructing the access
road, as described within your Pre-construction Notification Application dated September 1, 2007. The
impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3627. The Certification allows you
to use Nationwide Permit NW 14 when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE). In
addition, you should obtain or otherwise comply with any other required federal, state or local permits
before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Erosion and Sediment Control, and
Non-discharge regulations. Also, this approval to proceed with your proposed impacts or to conduct
impacts to waters as depicted in your application shall expire upon expiration of the 404 Permit.
This approval is for the purpose and design that you described in your original request (PCN dated
September 1, 2007). If you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us 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 conditions. If total fills for this project
(now or in the future) exceed one acre of wetland or 150 linear feet of stream, additional compensatory
mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h). This written approval requires
you to follow the conditions listed in the attached Water Quality Certification (GC 3627) and the
additional conditions listed below.

2. No Waste, Spoil, Solids, or Fill of Any Kind
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 and authorized
by this approval letter. All construction activities, including the design, installation, operation,
and maintenance of sediment and erosion control Best Management Practices, shall be performed
so that no violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur.
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 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.
b. Sufficient materials required for stabilization and/or repair of erosion control measures and
stormwater routing and treatment shall be on site at all times.
Sediment and Erosion Control Measures
Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters without prior
written approval by DWQ. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and
waters is unavoidable, then design and placement of temporary erosion control measures shall not
be conducted in a manner that may result in dis-equilibrium of wetlands or stream beds or banks,
adjacent to or upstream and downstream of the above structures. All devices shall be removed
and the natural grade restored within two (2) months of the date that the Division of Land
Resources has released the project.
Protective Fencing
The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary and along the construction corridor within these
boundaries approved under this authorization shall be clearly marked with orange warning
fencing (or similar high visibility material) for the areas that have been approved to infringe
within the buffer, wetland or water prior to any land disturbing activities to ensure compliance
with GC 3627.
Construction Stormwater Permit NCGOI 0000
Upon the approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan issued by the Division of Land
Resources (DLR) or a DLR delegated local erosion and sedimentation control program, an
NPDES General stormwater permit (NCGO10000) administered by DWQ is automatically issued
to the project. This General Permit allows stormwater to be discharged during land disturbing
construction activities as stipulated by conditions in the permit. If your project is covered by this
permit [applicable to construction projects that disturb one (1) or more acres), full compliance

with permit conditions including the sedimentation control plan, self-monitoring, record keeping
and reporting requirements are required. A copy of this permit and monitoring report forms may
be found at http: //h2o. enr. state. nc. us/su/Forrns Documents. htm.
7. Work in the Dry
All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work 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.
8. Deed Notifications
Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all retained jurisdictional wetlands,
waters and riparian buffers in order to assure compliance for future wetland or water impact.
These mechanisms shall be put in place prior to impacting any wetlands, waters and/or
buffers approved for impact under this Certification Approval and Authorization
Certificate.
9. Impervious Surface Threshold Under GC 3627 -The impervious area of Hubquarter Landing
(including streets, sidewalks, driveways, housing, recreation buildings, parking areas, etc.) should
not exceed 32.4 acres of the ] 08-acres property (30% impervious). This restriction contained
herein shall be binding upon the owner's successors and assigns, and shall be perpetual and run
with the land until released or amended by a release or amendment approved by the North
Carolina Division of Water Quality.
DWQ would like to remind you that if a compliance inspection reveals an impervious surface
area of 30% or greater, then Hubquarter Development, Inc. will be in violation of this Condition
and required to comply with the requirements of Condition 6 in GC 3627.

subsequent modifications, the applicant is required to return the attached certificate of completion

impacts to waters as depicted in your application and as authorized by this Certification shall expire upon
expiration of the 404 Permit.
