2. Erosion & Sediment Control Practices
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 ni
accordance with the requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act and the Mining
Act of 1971.
e. If the project occurs in waters or watersheds classified as Primary Nursery Areas (PNAs),
Trout (Tr), SA, WS-I, WS-II, High Quality (HQW), or Outstanding Resource (ORW) waters,
then the sediment and erosion control requirements contained within Design Standards in
Sensitive Watersheds (15A NCAC 04B .0124) supercede all other sediment and erosion
control requirements.
3. 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 written
approval, including incidental impacts. 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.
4. No Sediment & Erosion Control Measures w/n Wetlands or Waters
Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters without prior 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
down stream 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.
5. If concrete is used during the construction, then a dry work area should be maintained to prevent
direct contact prevent direct contact between curing concrete and stream water. Water that

inadvertently contacts uncured concrete should not be discharged to surface waters due to the
potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life/fish kills.
6. Work in the Dry
All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved best
mar:agement 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.
7. Certificate of Completion
Upon completion of all work approved within the 401 Water Quality Certification or applicable
Buffer Rules, and any subsequent modifications, the applicant is required to return the attached
