APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Bunker:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place temporary fill in 201inear feet of stream, to
place permanent fill in 129 linear feet of stream, to place 0.02 acres of fill in two jurisdictional wetlands, and to place
fill in 0.05 acres_ of an existing pond, in order to construct the Youngs Hill Subdivision located on Payne Rd near High
Point in Forsyth County, as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on October
25, 2007. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality
Certification Number 3631, which can be viewed on our web site at http://www.ncwaterquality.org/wetlands.html. This
Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 29 when it is issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
In addition, you should secure any other applicable federal, state or local permits before you proceed with your project,
including (but not limited to) those required by Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge, and Water Supply
Watershed regulations. Also, this approval will expire when the accompanying 404 permits expire unless otherwise
specified in the General Certification.
This approval is valid only for the purpose and design that you have described in your application. If you change your
project, you must notify us in writing, and you may be required to send us a new application for a new certification. 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. If total wetland fill for this project (now or in the future) exceeds one
acre, or total fill to perennial streams equals or exceeds 150 linear feet, additional compensatory mitigation may be
required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions
listed in the attached certification, as well as the additional conditions listed below:
The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all other specific and general conditions of this
Certification are met. No other impacts, including incidental impacts, are approved:

2. 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. Pipe alignment should be designed and
constructed to ensure future integrity of the stream above and below the crossing. Pipes should be in
alignment with natural channels or adjusted to prevent scouring of downstream banks due to pipe
installation. 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.
3. The proposed project must comply with the City of High Point local water supply ordinance approved by the N.C.
Environmental Management Commission (EMC) as required under the Randleman Lake Water Supply
Watershed: Protection and Maintenance of Riparian Areas (Randleman Buffer Rule) 15A NCAC 02B .0250. All
stormwater shall be directed as diffuse flow at non-erosive velocities through the protected stream buffers and
will not re-concentrate before discharging into the stream as identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0250(5)
4. The Permittee shall submit a valid approval letter from the City of High Point indicating that the proposed activity
has an approved stormwater management plan (SMP) which includes provisions for ensuring diffuse flow, and
one copy of the approved SMP, including plan details, calculations and other supporting information, prior to
commencing any impacts approved by this certification.
5. Upon finishing the project, the Applicant shall fill out and return the enclosed "Certificate of Completion" to
notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been completed. This certificate should be
returned to the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the NCDWQ at the address listed on the form.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, 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.
