Approval of 401 Water Quality Certification and Authorization Certificate per the Neuse River
Buffer Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233) with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Adams:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill
within or otherwise impact 151 linear feet of stream, 8,428 square feet (ft) of protected Zone 1 Neuse
River basin riparian buffer and 6,512 square feet (flz) of protected Zone 2 Neuse River basin riparian
buffer, and 0.03 acres of wetland for the purpose of constructing the residential subdivision, as described
within your Pre-construction Notification Application dated August 15, 2006 and additional information
received on August 18, 2006. The impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification
Number(s) 3402 (GC3402). The Certification(s) allows you to use Nationwide Permit(s) NW39 when
issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USAGE). This letter shall also act as your approved
Authorization Certificate for impacts to the protected riparian buffers per 15A NCAC 2B .0233. 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, and
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 the modifications to your original
request (PCN dated August 7, 2006). 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 151 linear feet of stream,
compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h). This written
approval requires you to follow the conditions listed in the attached Water Quality Certification
(GC 3402) and the additional conditions listed below.

1. Impacts Approved
The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all of the other specific and general
conditions of this Certification are met. No other impacts are approved including incidental
impacts:

Buffer -Zone 2 6512 s uare ft. Au st 15, 2006 PCN a es 7&8
Wetland 0.03 acres Au ust 15, 2006 PCN a e 4
2. 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. All construction
activities, including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion
control Best Management Practices, shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality
standards, statutes, or rules occur.
3. 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. Sufficient materials required for stabilization and/or repair of erosion control measures and
stormwater routing and treatment shall be on site at all times.
4. Sediment and Erosion Control Measures
Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum
extent practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is
unavoidable, they 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. Protective Fencing
The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary and along the construction corridor within these
boundaries approved under this authorization shall be clearly marked with orange warning fencing
(or similar high visibility material) for the areas that have been approved to infringe within the
buffer, wetland or water prior to any land disturbing activities to ensure compliance with 15A
NCAC 2B .0233 and GC 3402.
6. Diffuse Flow Measures Approved
The diffuse flow measures (level spreader designs submitted on August 15, 2006 and on August
18, 2006) must be implemented and the stormwater management facilities shall be constructed

Millridge Companies Incorporated
Page 3 of 4
August 18, 2006
and operational before any permanent building is occupied at the subject site. The structural
stormwater practices as approved by this Office as well as drainage patterns must be maintained
in perpetuity. No changes to the structural stormwater practices shall be made without written
authorization from the Division of Water Quality.
7. Culvert Installation
Culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profiles
are not altered. Existing stream dimensions (including the cross section dimensions, pattern, and
longitudinal profile) must be maintained above and below locations of each culvert: Culverts shall
be designed and installed to allow for aquatic life movement as well as to prevent head cutting of
the streams. If any of the existing pipes are or become perched, the appropriate stream grade shall
be re-established or, if the pipes installed in a perched manner, the pipes shall be removed and re-
installed correctly.
Culvert(s) shall not be installed in such a manner that will cause aggradation or erosion of the
stream up or down stream of the culvert(s). Installation of culverts in wetlands must ensure
continuity of water movement and be designed to adequately accommodate high water or flood
conditions. Existing stream dimensions (including the cross section dimensions, pattern and
longitudinal profile) shall be maintained above and below locations of each culvert. Placement of
culverts and other structures in waters, streams, and wetlands must be placed 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 48 inches, to allow low flow passage of
water and aquatic life. The applicant is required to provide evidence that the equilibrium shall be
maintained if requested in writing by DWQ.
The establishment of native, woody vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization techniques
must be used where practicable instead of rip rap or other bank hardening methods. If rip rap is
necessary, it shall not be placed in the stream bed, unless specifically approved by the Division of
Water Quality.
Upon completion of the project, the Applicant shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" form to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been
completed. The responsible party shall complete the attached form and return it to the
401/Wetlands Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality upon completion of the project. Please
send photographs upstream and downstream of each culvert site to document correct installation
along with the Certificate of Completion form.
8. Deed Notifications
Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all retained jurisdictional wetlands,
waters and riparian buffers in order to assure compliance for future wetland, water and riparian
buffer impact. These mechanisms shall be put in place prior to impacting any wetlands,
waters and/or buffers approved for impact under this Certification Approval and
Authorization Certificate.
9. Construction Stormwater Permit NCGO 10000
Upon the approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan issued by the Division of Land
Resources (DLR) or a DLR delegated local erosion and sedimentation control program, an
NPDES General stormwater permit (NCGO10000) administered by DWQ is automatically issued
to the project. This General Permit allows stormwater to be discharged during land disturbing
construction activities as stipulated by conditions in the permit. If your project is covered by this
permit [applicable to construction projects that disturb one (1) or more acres], full compliance

Millridge Companies Incorporated
Page 4 of 4
August 18, 2006
with permit conditions including the sedimentation control plan, self-monitoring, record keeping
and reporting requirements are required. A copy of this permit and monitoring report forms may
be found at http: //h2o. enr.state. nc. us/su/Forms Documents. htm.
10. 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 Quality, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650.
11. Notification of Construction
The applicant and/or authorized agent shall contact the DWQ Express Review Program in writing
at the letterhead address within ten (10) days of the commencement of construction.
Violations of any condition herein set forth may result in revocation of this Certification and may result in
criminal and/or civil penalties. 'The authorization to proceed with your proposed impacts or to conduct
impacts to waters as depicted in your application and as authorized by this Certification, shall expire upon
expiration of the 404 or CAMA Permit.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this Certification (associated with the approved wetland or
stream impacts), you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that
you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition, which conforms to Chapter 150B of
the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a
hearing.
Any disputes over determinations regarding this Authorization Certificate (associated with the approved
buffer impacts) shall be referred in writing to the Director for a decision. The Director's decision is
subject to review as provided in Articles 3 and 4 of G.S. 150B.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water
Act and the Neuse riparian buffer protection rule as described within 15A NCAC 2B .0233. If you have
