Dear Michael Borgman:
DWR # 20160717 Ver. 2
Rowan County
Attached hereto is a copy of Certification No. WQC006936 issued to United States Department of Veterans
Affairs and Michael Borgman, dated June 14, 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.

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

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 alternative options for flattening the
slope have been investigated and aquatic life movement/connectivity has been provided when
possible (e.g. rock ladders, cross -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.

Local regulations. Fertilizer application shall be accomplished in a manner that minimizes the risk of
contact between the fertilizer and surface waters.

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.

activity. All rip -rap shall be placed such that the original streambed elevation and streambank
contours are restored and maintained and shall consist of clean rock or masonry material free of
debris or toxic pollutants. 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 or be installed in a
manner that precludes aquatic life passage.
