Dear Chris Simmering:
Attached hereto is a copy of Certification No. WQC006783 issued to Reid Smith and Marin
Woods Subdivision, LLC, dated April 19, 2024. This approval is for the purpose and design
described in your application. The plans and specifications for this project are incorporated
by reference as part of this Water Quality Certification. If you change your project, you
must notify the Division and you may be required to submit a new application package with
the appropriate fee. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this
Certification and is responsible for complying with all conditions. [15A NCAC 02H
.0507(d)(2)].
This Water Quality Certification does not relieve the permittee of the responsibility to obtain all
other required Federal, State, or Local approvals before proceeding with the project, including
those required by, but not limited to, Sediment and Erosion Control, Non -Discharge, Water
Supply Watershed, and Trout Buffer regulations.
This Water Quality Certification neither grants nor affirms any property right, license, or
privilege in any lands or waters, or any right of use in any waters. This Water Quality
Certification does not authorize any person to interfere with the riparian rights, littoral rights,
or water use rights of any other person and does not create any prescriptive right or any right
of priority regarding any usage of water. This Water Quality Certification shall not be
interposed as a defense in any action respecting the determination of riparian or littoral rights
or other rights to water use. No consumptive user is deemed by virtue of this Water Quality

Certification to possess any prescriptive or other right of priority with respect to any other
consumptive user.
Upon the presentation of proper credentials, the Division may inspect the property.
This Water Quality Certification shall expire on the same day as the expiration date of the
corresponding Section 404 Permit. The conditions shall remain in effect for the life of the
project, regardless of the expiration date of this Water Quality Certification.
Non-compliance with or violation of the conditions herein set forth may result in revocation of
this Water Quality Certification for the project and may also result in criminal and/or civil
penalties.
If you are unable to comply with any of the conditions of this Water Quality Certification you
must notify the Raleigh Regional Office within 24 hours (or the next business day if a weekend
or holiday) from the time the permittee becomes aware of the circumstances.
The permittee shall report to the Raleigh Regional Office any noncompliance with, and/or any
violation of, stream or wetland standards [15A NCAC 02B .0200] including but not limited to
sediment impacts to streams or wetlands. Information shall be provided orally within 24 hours
(or the next business day if a weekend or holiday) from the time the permittee became aware
of the non-compliance circumstances.
This approval and its conditions are final and binding unless contested [G.S. 143-215.5]. Please
be aware that impacting waters without first applying for and securing the issuance of a 401 Water
Quality Certification violates Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) 2H .0500. Title
15A NCAC 2H .0500 requires certifications pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean Water Act whenever
construction or operation of facilities will result in a discharge into navigable waters, including wetlands,
as described in 33 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 323. It also states any person desiring
issuance of the State certification or coverage under a general certification required by Section 401 of
the Federal Water Pollution Control Act shall file with the Director of the North Carolina Division of
Water Quality. Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A, these violations and any future violations are subject to a
civil penalty assessment of up to a maximum of $25,000.00 per day for each violation.
This Certification can be contested as provided in Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General
Statutes by filing a Petition for a Contested Case Hearing (Petition) with the North Carolina Office
of Administrative Hearings (OAH) within sixty (60) calendar days. Requirements for filing a
Petition are set forth in Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes and Title 26 of the
North Carolina Administrative Code. Additional information regarding requirements for filing a
Petition and Petition forms may be accessed at http://www.ncoah.comor by calling the OAH

vanes, sills, step -pool structures, etc. shall be designed and installed in such a manner
that allow for continued aquatic life movement.
Citation: 15A NCAC 02H .0506(b); 15A NCAC 02H .0507(c)
16. Culverts 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. The
dimension, pattern, and profile of the stream above and below a pipe or culvert 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 culvert shall be such as to pass the average historical low flow and spring flow
without adversely altering flow velocity. If the width of the culvert is wider than the
stream channel, the culvert shall include multiple boxes/pipes, baffles, benches and/or
sills to maintain the natural width of the stream channel. If multiple
culverts/pipes/barrels are used, low flows shall be accommodated in one culvert/pipe
and additional culverts/pipes shall be installed such that they receive only flows above
bankfull.
Placement of culverts and other structures in streams shall be below the elevation of
the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48 inches, and
20% 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. If the culvert outlet is
submerged within a pool or scour hole and designed to provide for aquatic passage,
then culvert burial into the streambed is not required.
For structures less than 72" in diameter/width, and topographic constraints indicate
culvert slopes of greater than 2.5% culvert burial is not required, provided that all

vanes, sills, baffles etc.). Notification, including supporting documentation to include a
location map of the culvert, culvert profile drawings, and slope calculations, shall be
provided to DWR 30 calendar 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,
including supporting documentation such as a location map of the culvert, geotechnical
reports, photographs, etc. shall be provided to DWR a minimum of 30 calendar days
prior to the installation of the culvert. If bedrock is discovered during construction, then
DWR shall be notified by phone or email within 24 hours of discovery.
Installation of culverts in wetlands shall ensure continuity of water movement and be
designed to adequately accommodate high water or flood conditions. When roadways,
causeways, or other fill projects are constructed across FEMA-designated floodways or
wetlands, openings such as culverts or bridges shall 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 shall be used where practicable instead of rip -rap or other bank hardening
methods.

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.
