THIS CERTIFICATION is issued in conformity with the requirements of Section 401 Public Laws 92-
500 and 95-217 of the United States and subject to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
Regulations in 15 NCAC 2H, Section .0500 to Mr. Zane Buckman of the Bridge Harbor, LLC, to fi110.374
acres of jurisdictional wetland and 0.00 square feet of Zone 1Tar-Pamlico River basin protected riparian
buffer, and 0.00 square feet of Zone 2Tar-Pamlico River basin protected riparian buffer, associated with the
construction of the Bridge Harbor multi-family, residential development located on the east side of U.S.
Highway 17 North at Pamlico River Bridge adjacent to the Pamlico River south of the City of Washington
in Beaufort County, North Carolina, pursuant to an application filed on the 10~' day of September of 2007
(received by DWQ on December 3, 2007), and by Public Notice by the U.S. Army.Corps of Engineers
issued on the 14`" day of November of 2007 (received by DWQ on November 16, 2007).
The application and supporting documentation provides adequate assurance that the proposed work will
not result in a violation of applicable Water Quality Standards and discharge guidelines. Therefore, the
State of North Carolina certifies that this activity will not violate the applicable portions of Sections 301,
302, 303, 306, 307 of PL 92-500 and PL 95-217 if conducted in accordance with the application, the
supporting documentation, and conditions hereinafter set forth.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design submitted in the application materials and as
described in the Public Notice. If the project is changed, prior to notification a new application for a new
Certification is required. 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 of this Certification. Any
new owner must notify the Division and request the Certification be issued in their name. Should wetland
or stream fill be requested in the future, additional compensatory mitigation may be required as described
in 1 SA NCAC 2H .0506 (h) (6) and (7). If any plan revisions from the approved site plan result in a
change in stream or wetland impact or an increase in impervious surfaces, the DWQ shall be notified in
writing and a new application for 401 Certification may be required. For this approval to be valid,
compliance with the conditions listed below is required.
Conditions of Certification:
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:
T e of Im act Amount A roved Units Plan Location or Reference

January 29, 2008
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.
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 404/401 Permit Application. 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;
4. 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 six months of the date that
the Division of Land Resources has released the project;
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 3404;
Continuing Compliance:
6. Mr. Zane Buckman and the Bridge Harbor, LLC, shall conduct construction activities in a manner
consistent with State water quality standards (including any requirements resulting from
compliance with section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act) and any other appropriate requirements of
State law and federal law. If the Division determines that such standards or laws are not being met
(including the 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, the Division may reevaluate
and modify this Certification to iriclude conditions appropriate to assure compliance with such
standards and requirements in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0507(d). Before modifying the
Certification, the Division shall notify Mr. Zane Buckman and/or the Bridge Harbor, LLC, NC and
the US Army Corps of Engineers, provide public notice in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0503
and provide opportunity for public hearing in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0504. Any new or
revised conditions shall be provided to Mr. Zane Buckman and/or the Bridge Harbor, LLC, NC in
writing, shall be provided to the United States Army Corps of Engineers for reference in any Permit
issued pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and shall also become conditions of the 404
Permit for the project;
Deed Notification:
7. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all retained jurisdictional wetlands,
waters and protective buffers in order to assure compliance for future wetland, water and buffer
impact. These mechanisms shall be put in place at the time of the recording of the property. A
sample deed notification can be downloaded from the 401/Wetlands Unit web site at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. The text of the sample deed notification may be modified as
appropriate to suit to this project.

7. Diffuse Flow (DWQ Review and Approval Required)
All constructed stormwater conveyance outlets shall be directed and maintained to flow in a
diffuse manner at non-erosive velocities through the entire protected stream buffers without re-
concentrating. If this is not possible it may be necessary to provide stormwater facilities that are
considered to remove nitrogen. Additionally, a stormwater management plan for this project
shall be provided to this Office before any of the impacts approved herein are conducted. The
plan shall specify all stormwater discharge points, plan details, and calculations to indicate that
diffuse flow through the protected buffers or nitrogen removal as described above will be
achieved.
8. Written Stormwater Management Plan (Final Plan Needed)
A final, written stormwater management plan (including a signed and notarized Operation and
Maintenance Agreement) shall be submitted to the 401 Oversight and Express Permitting Unit
(2321 Crabtree Blvd., Suite 250, Raleigh, NC, 27604) within 60 days of the issuance of this
Certification, and the stormwater management plans shall be approved in writing by this
Office before the impacts specified in this Certification occur. You have the option of using
the Express Review Program for expedited approval of these plans. If you propose to use the
Express Review Program, remember to include the appropriate fee with the plan. The stormwater
management plan must include plans, specifications, and worksheets for stormwater management
facilities that are appropriate for the surface water classification and designed to remove at least
85% TSS according to the most recent version of the NC DENR Stormwater Best Management
Practices Manual. These facilities must be designed to treat the runoff from the entire project,
unless otherwise explicitly approved by the Division of Water Quality. Also, before any
permanent building is occupied at the subject site, the facilities (as approved by this Office)
shall be constructed and operational, and the stormwater management plan (as approved
by this Office) shall be implemented. 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.
Additionally, in watersheds within one mile and draining to watersheds that are classified as
nutrient sensitive waters (NSW), water supply waters (WS), trout waters (Tr), high quality waters
(HQW), and outstanding resource waters (ORW), the Division shall require that extended
detention wetlands, bio-retention areas, and ponds followed by forested filter strips
(designed according to latest version of the NCDENR Stormwater Best Management Practices
Manual) be constructed as part of the stormwater management plan when asite-specific
stormwater management plan is required.
Where a Coastal State Stormwater Permit (in accordance with 15 A NCAC 2H .1000) is
required, this permit may be considered to meet this condition.
9. Construction Stormwater Permit NCGO10000
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 with
permit conditions including the sedimentation control plan, self-monitoring, record keeping and
