Dear Mr. Jungen:
Donald R. van der Vaart
Secretary
On November 16, 2015, Anthony Scarbraugh of the Division of Water Resources (DWR) inspected a proposed
wetland impacts associated with residential construction at the subject property located at 1348 Sound
Landing Road in Kitty Hawk, Dare County. This project was inspected for compliance with the General Water
Quality Certification (GC) #3890 with Additional Conditions issued on August 3, 2013 for the proposed
project..
The GC approved impacts of 0.10 acres of wetlands to complete your project as described in your application
received by DWR on July 8, 2013.
The inspection revealed that the project has not yet been completed. This office would like to remind you
that you are limited to the impacts proposed in your application and you must comply with all additional
conditions regarding completing the certification of completion and compliance with GC #3890.
As a reminder, 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 the Certification and approval
letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. Upon completion of all work approved
within the 401 WQC, and any subsequent modifications, the applicant is required to return the enclosed
certificate of completion to the 401 & Buffer Permitting Unit, North Carolina Division of Water Resources,
1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699 -1617. This document can also be accessed through the DWR
401 & Buffer Permitting Unit website at http: / /portal.ncdenr.org /web /wg /401bufferpermitting.
Violations of any condition set forth in the Certification and Additional Conditions may result in revocation
of this Certification and may result in criminal and /or civil penalties. The authorization to proceed with your

Approval of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Jurgen:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to
place fill within or otherwise impact 0.10 acres of wetlands for the purpose of proposed
residential building at the subject property, as described within your application dated June 27,
2013 and received by the N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on July 8, 2013. After
reviewing your application, the proposed impacts are covered by General Water Quality
Certification Number(s) 3890 (GC3890). The Certification(s) allows you to use Nationwide
Permit(s) 18 when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). 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,
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 application. 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, compensatory mitigation may
be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506 (h). This approval requires you to follow the
conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional conditions listed below.
The Additional Conditions of the Certification are:
1. Impacts Approved

The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all of the other specific and general
conditions of this Certification (or Isolated Wetland Permit) are met. No other impacts are
approved including incidental impacts:
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 in
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 Jr), 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)
supersede 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

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 DWR. 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.
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 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.
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 certificate of completion to the 401 Oversight/Express Review Permitting Unit,
North Carolina Division of Water Resources, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC, 27699-
1650.
The applicant/permittee and their authorized agents shall conduct all activities in a manner
consistent with State water quality standards (including any requirements resulting from
compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act), and any other appropriate requirements of
State and Federal Law. If the Division determines that such standards or laws are not being
met, including 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, then the
Division may reevaluate and modify this General Water Quality Certification.
