administrative record, enclosed is a copy of a permit to permanently discharge dredged
or fill material into 0.521 acre of jurisdictional wetlands and 0.298 acre (2,514 linear
feet) of stream channel, 0.260 acre (2,314 linear feet) of which result in a loss of waters,
and the temporary discharge of dredged or fill material into 0.216 acre of wetlands and
0.093 acre (553 linear feet) of stream channel. These impacts are associated with the
construction of the Del Webb at Chatham Park project, a 55+ active adult community
with 1,666 single-family residential homes, amenities, and associated infrastructure,
located at 496 Moncure Pittsboro Road, in Pittsboro, in Chatham County, North
Carolina.

RELATED LAWS AND REQUIREMENTS
12. Maintain Flows and Circulation Patterns of Waters: Except as specified in the
plans attached to this permit, no excavation, fill or mechanized land -clearing activities
shall take place at any time in the construction or maintenance of this project, in such a
manner as to impair normal flows and circulation patterns within waters or wetlands or
to reduce the reach of waters and/or wetlands.
13. Fills Within 100-Year Floodplains: The activity must comply with applicable
FEMA-approved state or local floodplain management requirements.
14. Sediment and Erosion Control:
a. During the clearing phase of the project, heavy equipment shall not be
operated in surface waters or stream channels. Temporary stream crossings will
be used to access the opposite sides of stream channels. All temporary diversion
channels and stream crossings will be constructed of non -erodible materials.
Grubbing of riparian vegetation will not occur until immediately before
construction begins on a given segment of stream channel.
b. No fill or excavation impacts for the purposes of sedimentation and
erosion control shall occur within jurisdictional waters, including wetlands, unless
the impacts are included on the plan drawings and specifically authorized by this
permit. This includes, but is not limited to, sediment control fences and other
barriers intended to catch sediment losses.
C. The Permittee shall remove all sediment and erosion control measures
placed in waters and/or wetlands, and shall restore natural grades on those
areas, prior to project completion.
d. The Permittee shall use appropriate sediment and erosion control
practices which equal or exceed those outlined in the most recent version of the
"North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual" to
ensure compliance with the appropriate turbidity water quality standard. Erosion
and sediment control practices shall be in full compliance with all specifications
governing the proper design, installation and operation and maintenance of such
Best Management Practices in order to ensure compliance with the appropriate
3
SPECIAL CONDITIONS
ACTION ID: SAW-2021-01284

CHATHAM COUNTY
turbidity water quality standards. This shall include, but is not limited to, the
immediate installation of silt fencing or similar appropriate devices around all
areas subject to soil disturbance or the movement of earthen fill, and the
immediate stabilization of all disturbed areas. Additionally, the project shall
remain in full compliance with all aspects of the Sedimentation Pollution Control
Act of 1973 (North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 113A Article 4). Adequate
sedimentation and erosion control measures shall be implemented prior to any
ground disturbing activities to minimize impacts to downstream aquatic
resources. These measures shall be inspected and maintained regularly,
especially following rainfall events. All fill material shall be adequately stabilized
at the earliest practicable date to prevent sediment from entering into adjacent
waters or wetlands.
15. Clean Fill: The Permittee shall use only clean fill material for this project. The fill
material shall be free of items such as trash, construction debris, metal and plastic
products, and concrete block with exposed metal reinforcement bars. Soils used for fill
shall not be contaminated with any toxic substance in concentrations governed by
Section 307 of the Clean Water Act. Unless otherwise authorized by this permit, all fill
material placed in waters or wetlands shall be generated from an upland source.
16. Temporary Impacts Restoration Measures: Within thirty (30) days of the date
of completing the authorized work, the Permittee shall remove all temporary fills in
waters of the United States and restore the affected areas to pre -construction contours
and elevations. The affected areas shall be re -vegetated with native, non-invasive
vegetation as necessary to minimize erosion and ensure site stability. In wetland areas
where pipeline installation via trenching is authorized, wetland topsoil shall be
segregated from the underlying subsoil, and the top 6 to 12 inches of the trench shall be
backfilled with topsoil from the trench.
17. Water Contamination: All mechanized equipment shall be regularly inspected
and maintained to prevent contamination of waters and wetlands from fuels, lubricants,
hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials. In the event of a spill of petroleum products or
any other hazardous waste, the Permittee shall immediately report it to the N.C. Division
of Water Resources at (919) 733-3300 or (800) 858-0368 and provisions of the North
Carolina Oil Pollution and Hazardous Substances Control Act shall be followed.
18. Culverts:
a. Unless otherwise requested in the application and depicted on the
approved permit plans, culverts greater than 48 inches in diameter shall be
buried at least one foot below the bed of the stream. Culverts 48 inches in
diameter and less shall be buried or placed on the stream bed as practicable and
appropriate to maintain aquatic passage, and every effort shall be made to
maintain existing channel slope. The bottom of the culvert shall be placed at a
4
SPECIAL CONDITIONS

CHATHAM COUNTY
depth below the natural stream bottom to provide for passage during drought or
low flow conditions. Culverts shall be designed and constructed in a manner that
minimizes destabilization and head cutting.
b. Measures shall be included in the culvert construction/installation that will
promote the safe passage of fish and other aquatic organisms. The dimension,
pattern, and profile of the stream above and below a culvert or pipe shall not be
modified by widening the stream channel or by reducing the depth of the stream
in connection with the construction activity. The width, height, and gradient of a
proposed opening shall be such as to pass the average historical low flow and
spring flow without adversely altering flow velocity. Spring flow should be
determined from gauge data, if available. In the absence of such data, bankfull
flow can be used as a comparable level.
C. The Permittee shall implement all reasonable and practicable measures to
ensure that equipment, structures, fill pads, work, and operations associated with
this project do not adversely affect upstream and/or downstream reaches.
Adverse effects include, but are not limited to, channel instability, flooding, and/or
stream bank erosion. The Permittee shall routinely monitor for these effects,
cease all work when detected, take initial corrective measures to correct actively
eroding areas, and notify this office immediately. Permanent corrective measures
may require additional authorization by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
d. Culverts placed within wetlands must be installed in a manner that does
not restrict the flows and circulation patterns of waters of the United States.
Culverts placed across wetland fills purely for the purposes of equalizing surface
water shall not be buried, but the culverts must be of adequate size and/or
number to ensure unrestricted transmission of water.
AQUATIC LIFE
19. Aquatic Life Movement: No activity may substantially disrupt the necessary life
cycle movements of those species of aquatic life indigenous to the waterbody, including
those species that normally migrate through the area. All discharges of dredged or fill
material within waters of the United States shall be designed and constructed, except as
authorized as indirect impacts, to maintain low flows to sustain the movement of aquatic
species.
20. Prohibitions on Concrete: The Permittee shall take measures necessary to
prevent live or fresh concrete, including bags of uncured concrete, from coming into
contact with any water in or entering into waters of the United States. Water inside
