`f ERMIrrI.
In early 20141 began planning a residential home project for myself and my family on a .80 acre lot at Holts
Lake in Smithfield NC. In November 2014 my architect and I worked together to fill out a PCN application and
submitted it. In December we received an "Approval of 401 Water Quality Certification With Additional
Conditions" permit DWR # 14 -1235. 1 thank you for that prompt response.
Holts Lake is drawn down annually from January 2nd till February 15th. The work I had to accomplish in
getting the boathouse support columns and the bulkhead columns installed before the dam was closed and
water raised was very challenging, but we were successful. During construction we learned many things that
we didn't think of prior to construction on how this project could be improved. During the construction of
the bulkhead we determined that extending it to each end of the property made the most sense. In addition,
leaving an opening in the bulkhead to place a boat in and out of the lake also made good sense. These ideas
were not on the original application when we were doing our planning. I've communicated these changes via
phone calls to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and it was determined that I should complete another
application that was similar to the original except to add the changes.
Enclosed in this packet is:
• a copy of the (After the Fact) PCN application;
• a copy of the Approval Letter (DWR # 14 -1235)
• a copy of the site plan drawing submitted with the original PCN application
• a current drawing showing the changes made during construction.
1 have stopped any work being performed on this project until the current plans have been reviewed and
approved.
Please call me 919 - 669 -8200 if any further information is needed.
Thank you for your time and service.

through the use of best management practices. All buffer rule requirements, including diffuse
flow requirements, must be met.
8. 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.
9. Bridge deck drains shall not discharge directly into the stream. Stormwater shall be directed
across the bridge and pre - treated through site - appropriate means (grassed swales, pre-
formed scour holes, vegetated buffers, etc.) before entering the stream. Please refer to the
most current version of Stormwater Best Management Practices. Exceptions to this condition
require written approval by the Division.
10. Compensatory Mitigation
In accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .0506 (h), compensatory mitigation may be required for
losses of equal to or greater than 150 linear feet of streams (intermittent and perennial)
and /or equal to or greater than one (1) acre of wetlands. For linear public transportation
projects, impacts equal to or exceeding 150 linear feet per stream shall require mitigation.
Buffer mitigation may be required for any project with Buffer Rules in effect at the time of
application for activities classified as "Allowable with Mitigation" or "Prohibited" within the
Table of Uses.
A determination of buffer,- wetland, and stream mitigation requirements shall be made for any
General Water Quality Certification for this Nationwide and /or Regional General Permit.
Design and monitoring protocols shall follow the US Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington
District Stream Mitigation Guidelines (April 2003) or its subsequent updates. Compensatory
mitigation plans shall be submitted to the Division for written approval as required in those
protocols. The mitigation plan must be implemented and /or constructed before any impacts
occur on site. Alternatively, the Division will accept payment into an in -lieu fee program or a
mitigation bank. In these cases, proof of payment shall be provided to the Division before
any impacts occur on site.

Water Quality Certification No. 3890
11. Relocated stream designs should include the same dimensions, patterns, and profiles as the
existing channel (or a stable reference reach if the existing channel is unstable), to the
maximum extent practical. The new channel should be constructed in the dry and water shall
not be turned into the new channel until the banks are stabilized. Vegetation used for bank
stabilization shall be limited to native woody species, and should include establishment of a
30 -foot wide wooded and an adjacent 20 -foot wide vegetated buffer on both sides of the
relocated channel to the maximum extent practical. A transitional phase incorporating
appropriate erosion control matting materials and seedling establishment is allowable,
however matting that incorporates plastic mesh and /or plastic twine shall not be used in
wetlands, riparian buffers or floodplains as recommended by the North Carolina Sediment
and Erosion Control Manual. Rip -rap, A- Jacks, concrete, gabions or other hard structures
may be allowed if it is necessary to maintain the physical integrity of the stream; however, the
applicant must provide written justification and any calculations used to determine the extent
of rip -rap coverage. Please note that if the stream relocation is conducted as a stream
restoration as defined in the US Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington District, April 2003
Stream Mitigation Guidelines (or its subsequent updates), the restored length may be used
as compensatory mitigation for the impacts resulting from the relocation.
12. Stormwater Management Plan Requirements
All applications shall address stormwater management throughout the entire project area per
the 401 Stormwater Requirements, referenced herein as "Attachment A" at the end of this
Certification
13. Placement of Culverts and Other Structures in Waters and Wetlands
Culverts required for this project shall be designed and installed in such a manner that the
original stream profiles are not altered and allow for aquatic life movement during low flows.
Existing stream dimensions (including the cross section dimensions, pattern, and longitudinal
profile) must be maintained above and below locations of each culvert.
Placement of culverts and other structures in waters and streams must be 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 or equal to 48
inches, to allow low flow passage of water and aquatic life.
When topographic constraints indicate culvert slopes of greater than 5 %, culvert burial is not
required, provided that all alternative options for flattening the slope have been investigated
and aquatic life movement/ connectivity has been provided when possible (rock ladders,
crossvanes, etc). Notification to the Division including supporting documentation to include a
location map of the culvert, culvert profile drawings, and slope calculations shall be provided
to the Division 60 days prior to the installation of the culvert.
When bedrock is present in culvert locations, culvert burial is not required provided that there
is sufficient documentation of the presence of bedrock. Notification to the Division including
supporting documentation such as, but not limited to, a location map of the culvert,
geotechnical reports, photographs, etc shall be provided to the Division a minimum of 60
days prior to the installation of the culvert If bedrock is discovered during construction, then
the Division shall be notified by phone or email within 24 hours of discovery.
If other site - specific topographic constraints preclude the ability to bury the culverts as
described above and /or it can be demonstrated that burying the culvert would result in
destabilization of the channel, then exceptions to this condition require application submittal
to, and written approval by, the Division of Water Quality, regardless of the total impacts to
streams or wetlands from the project.
Water Quality Certification No. 3890

Water Quality Certification No. 3890
Installation of culverts in wetlands must ensure continuity of water movement and be
designed to adequately accommodate high water or flood conditions. Additionally, when
roadways, causeways, or other fill projects are constructed across FEMA- designated
floodways or wetlands, openings such as culverts or bridges must be provided to maintain
the natural hydrology of the system as well as prevent constriction of the floodway that may
result in destabilization of streams or wetlands.
The establishment of native, woody vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization
techniques must be used where practicable instead of riprap or other bank hardening
methods.
14. All temporary fill and culverts shall be removed and the impacted area returned to natural
conditions within 60 days of the determination that the temporary impact is no longer
necessary. The impacted areas shall be restored to original grade, including each stream's
original cross sectional dimensions, plan form pattern, and longitudinal bed and bed profile,
and the various sites shall be stabilized with natural woody vegetation (except for the
approved maintenance areas) and restored to prevent erosion.
15. All temporary pipes/ culverts/ riprap pads etc, shall be installed in all streams as outlined in
the most recent edition of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and
Design Manual or the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual so as not to restrict stream flow
or cause dis- equilibrium during use of this General Certification.
16. Any riprap required for proper culvert placement, stream stabilization, or restoration of
temporarily disturbed areas shall be restricted to the area directly impacted by the approved
construction activity. All rip -rap shall buried and /or "keyed in" such that the original stream
elevation and streambank contours are restored and maintained. Placement of rip -rap or
other approved materials shall not result in de- stabilization of the stream bed or banks
upstream or downstream of the area.
17. Any rip -rap used for stream stabilization shall be of a size and density so as not to be able to
be carried off by wave, current action, or stream flows and consist of clean rock or masonry
material free of debris or toxic pollutants. Rip -rap shall not be installed in the streamaed
except-in specific areas required for velocity control and to ensure structural integrity of bank
stabilization measures.
18. A one -time application of fertilizer to re- establish vegetation is allowed in disturbed areas
including riparian buffers, but is restricted to no closer than 10 feet from top of bank of
streams. Any fertilizer application must comply with all other Federal, State and Local
regulations.
19. If this Water Quality Certification is used to access building sites, then all lots owned by the
applicant must be buildable without additional impacts to streams or wetlands. The applicant
is required to provide evidence that the lots are buildable without requiring additional impacts
to wetlands, waters, or buffers if required to do so in writing by the Division. For road
construction purposes, this Certification shall only be utilized from natural high ground to
natural high ground.
20. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all retained jurisdictional
wetlands, waters, and protective buffers within the project boundaries in order to assure
compliance for future wetland, water, and buffer impact. These mechanisms shall be put in
place at the time of recording of the property or of individual lots. whichever is appropriate. A
sample deed notification can be downloaded from the 401ANetlands Unit web site at

Attachment A: 401 Stormwater Requirements
The requirements listed below shall be implemented in order to comply with Condition 12 of this
General Certification. For the North Carolina Department of Transportation, compliance with
NCDOT's Individual NPDES permit NCS000250 shall serve to satisfy the 401 and Isolated
Wetland Stormwater Requirements.'
A. Design and Implementation Requirements. All projects, regardless of project area,
amount of built -upon area or amount of jurisdictional impact, shall meet the following
stormwater design requirements:
i. Non - Erosive Discharge to Streams and Wetlands. Stormwater conveyances that
discharge to streams and wetlands must discharge at a non - erosive velocity prior to
entering the stream or wetland during the peak flow from the ten -year storm.
Vegetated Setbacks. A 30 -foot wide vegetated setback must be maintained adjacent to
streams, rivers and tidal waters in areas that are not subject to a state Riparian Area
Protection Rule or other more stringent vegetated setback requirements. The width of
the setback shall be measured horizontally from the normal pool elevation of impounded
structures, the top -of -bank of streams and rivers, and the mean high waterline of tidal
waters, perpendicular to shoreline. Vegetated setback and filters required by state rules
or local governments may be met concurrently with this requirement and may contain
coastal, isolated or 404 jurisdictional wetlands. Non jurisdictional portions of the
vegetated setback may be cleared and graded, but must be planted with and maintained
in grass or other vegetative or plant material.3
iii. Construction and Operation. The stormwater management plan must be constructed
and operational before any permanent building or other structure is occupied or utilized at
the site. The stormwater management plan, including drainage pattems, must be
maintained in perpetuity.°
iv. Coordination with Other Stormwater Programs. Projects that are subject to another
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) stormwater program, including (but not limited to) the 20
Coastal Counties, HQW, ORW or state - implemented Phase II NPDES, or a Certified
Community's stormwater management program, must be constructed and maintained in
compliance with the approved stormwater management plans
v. Stormwater Design Requirements for Projects Not Covered Under Item (iv).
Projects that are not subject to another DWQ stormwater program or a Certified
Community's stormwater program shall meet all of the following requirements:

considering both current and future development. When determining the amount
of built upon area, coastal wetlands shall be included; however, ponds, lakes and
rivers as specified in North Carolina's Schedule of Classifications shall be
excluded. If a portion of project has a density greater than 24 %, the higher
density area must be located in an upland area and away from surface waters
and drainageways to the maximum extent practicable.s
2. All stormwater runoff from the built upon areas is transported primarily via
vegetated conveyances designed in accordance with the most recent version of
the NC DWQ Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual. Alternative
designs may be approved if the applicant can show that the design provides

equal or better water quality protection than the practices specified in the manual.
The project must not include a stormwater collection system (such as piped
conveyances) as defined in 15A NCAC 02B.0202(60). 7
b. High Density. Projects that do not meet the-Low Density requirements shall meet
the following requirements:
1. Stormwater runoff from the entire site must be treated by structural stormwater
controls (BMPs) that are designed to remove eighty-five percent (85 %) of the
average annual amount of Total Suspended Solids (TSS). Stormwater runoff
that drains directly to Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW) must also be treated to
remove thirty percent (30 %) of Total Nitrogen (TN) and Total Phosphorus (TP).e
2. All BMPs must be designed in accordance with the version of the NC DWQ
Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual that is in place on the date of
stormwater management plan submittal. Alternative designs may be approved if
the applicant can show that the design provides equal or better water quality
protection than the practices specified in the manual .9
3. DWQ may add specific stormwater management requirements on a case -by-
case basis in order to ensure that a proposed activity will not violate water quality
standards.t0
4. DWQ may approve Low Impact Developments (LIDs) that meet the guidance set
forth in the Low Impact Development: A Guidebook for North Carolina."
5. Proposed new development undertaken by a local government solely as a public
road project shall follow the requirements of the NC DOT BMP Toolbox rather
than Items (1) -(4) above. 12
B. Submittal Requirements. The submittal requirements listed below apply only to projects
that require written authorization as indicated in the applicable General Certification as well
as projects that require an Isolated Wetlands Permit. Any required documentation shall
be sent to the Wetlands, Buffers and Stormwater Compliance and Permitting Unit at
1650 Mail- Service-Center, Raleigh, NC 27699 -1650.
i. Projects that are Subject to Another DWQ Stormwater Program: If the project is
subject to another DWQ stormwater program, such as the 20 Coastal Counties, HOW,
ORW or state- implemented Phase II NPDES, then the applicant shall submit a copy of
the stormwater approval letter before any impacts occur on site. 13
ii. Projects that are Subject to a Certified Community's Stormwater Program. If the
project is subject to a certified local government's stormwater program, then the applicant
shall submit one set of approved stormwater management plan details and calculations
with documentation of the local government's approval before any impacts occur on sits
e
iii. Projects Not Covered Under Items (i) or (ii). If the project is not subject to another
DWQ Stormwater Program or a Certified Community's stormwater program, then it shall
be reviewed and approved by the DWQ through the Water Quality Certification
authorization process.

Water Quality Certification No. 3890
b. High Density. For high density projects, the applicant shall submit two copies of a
DWQ BMP Supplement Form and all required items at the specified scales for each
BMP that is proposed.13
iv. Phasing. Stormwater management plans may be phased on a case -by -case basis, with
the submittal of a final stormwater management plan per Items (i) -(iii) above required for
the current phase and a conceptual stormwater management plan for the future phase(s).
The stormwater management plan for each future phase must be approved by the
appropriate entity before construction of that phase is commenced. The approved
stormwater management plan for each future phase must be constructed and operational
before any permanent building or other structure associated with that phase is
occupied. °
v. Stormwater Management Plan Modifications. The stormwater management plan may
not be modified without prior written authorization from the entity that approved the plan.
If the project is within a Certified Community, then the applicant shall submit one set of
approved stormwater management plan details and calculations with documentation of
the local government's approval for record- keeping purposes. If the project is subject to
