APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions

Dear Mr. Lindholm:

You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place permanent fill in a total of 291 linear feet of
stream and 0.09 acres of wetlands and to place temporary fill in 35 linear feet of stream and 0.031 acres of wetlands in
order to construct the Piedmont Crossing/Lilliefield Subdivision and associated amenities in High Point, NC in Guilford
County, as described in your original approval from the Division of Water Quality (Division) dated October 19, 2005 ,
the modification application received by the Division on June 2, 2008 and additional information received June 27,
2008, 2008. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality
Certification Numbers 3699 and 3705, which can be viewed on our web site at
http://www.ncwaterquality.org/wetlands.html. These Certifications allow you to use Nationwide Permit Numbers 12
and 39 when they are 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:
1. 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. The Randleman Lake Water Supply Watershed Protection Rules (15A NCAC 02B .0250) allows for a
construction corridor through Zone 2 of the riparian area provided there is no practical alternative. In
addition, the rules allow for a permanent maintained access corridor not to exceed 10 feet in width except
at manhole locations. During a site visit on June 25, 2008 it was noted that the sewer lines previously
constructed do not currently meet this regulation. The Permittee shall ensure compliance with this
regulation on all existing and future areas within the development.
3. Please note Condition No. 20 in the attached GC No. 3699 allowing not more than a 15-foot wide permanent
access road at stream crossings and through all wetlands.

4. Please note Condition No. 6 in the attached GC No. 3705 requiring all work to be conducted in a dry work area.
5. The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor approved by this
certification shall be clearly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities. Impacts to
areas within the fencing are prohibited unless otherwise authorized by this certification.

6. The final, written stormwater management plans (including a signed and notarized Operation and Maintenance
Agreement) approved by the Division on November 25, 2008, must be implemented and the stormwater
management facilities shall be constructed 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. 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.
