Dear Mr. Tipton:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to permanently
impact 0.0352 acres of jurisdictional wetlands for the purpose of three road crossings to access the
subdivision, and temporarily impact 0.0007 acres of jurisdictional wetlands for the construction of a
retaining wall, as described within your application dated May 2, 2008 and received by the Wilmington
Regional office on May 2, 2008and additional information received on June 4, 2008. After reviewing your
application, it has been determined that the impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification
Number(s) 3704 (GC3704) and General Certification # 3687 (GC 3687). The Certification(s) allows you
to use Nationwide Permit(s) 14 and the General Permit 198700056 when issued by the US Army
Corps of Engineers (USACE). 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, Non-discharge, and stormwater 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 or CAMA Permit.
This approval is for the purpose and design that you described in your application. 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 150 linear feet of stream, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC
2H .0506 (h). This approval requires you to follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and
any additional conditions listed below.

2. Sedimentation and Erosion Control
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. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed,
operated, and maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina
Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in
accordance with the requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
3. Wetland Boundary Identification
The wetland boundary must be clearly identified on all lots that have jurisdictional wetlands
present as depicted on the jurisdictional determination map signed by the US Army Corps of
Engineers. The wetland boundary identification (flagging, fencing, etc.) must be maintained on
each lot until the lot is sold.
4. Deed Notifications and/or Restrictions
A recorded copy of the deed restrictions/restrictive covenants and the associated
preservation map approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington Regulatory
Office must be submitted to this Office and to the 401 Oversight and Express Unit in
Raleigh before the impacts to wetlands and the stream approved by this Certification can
take place.
5. 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.
6. No Sediment & Erosion Control Measures within Wetlands or Waters
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.

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
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.
