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. Perry:

You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place
fill within or otherwise impact 30 linear feet of perennial stream (temporary impact) and 13,290
square feet (ft) of protected Zone 1 Neuse River basin riparian buffer and 7,968 square feet (ft) of
protected Zone 2 Neuse River basin riparian buffer, 3,798 square feet (ft) of after-the-fact impacts
to protected Zone 1 Neuse River basin riparian buffer and 5,989 square feet (ft) of after-the-fact
impacts to protected Zone 2 Neuse River basin riparian buffer and as described in your application
dated February 9, 2006, and received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on February 9, 2006,
for the purpose of constructing the residential subdivision and associated utilities at the subject
property. After reviewing your application, we have decided that the impacts are covered by
General Water Quality Certification Number(s) 3374 (GC3374). The Certification(s) allows you to
use Nationwide Permit(s) NW 12 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 213 .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 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. 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 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;

Ian:
Took home some 401s this past weekend. Here are my comments (also on BIMS):
*Town of Warrenton Infrastructure Improvements 20060233 (Granville Co.)*. It is
unclear what the spatial relationship (i.e. distance between) the two impact areas
(pump station and the sewer line crossing). I would like to see an overall map
showing the location of these impacts relative to each other. Also, The buffer
impacts on the plans are not clear. The hatching on the plans appears to only be
Zone 1 impacts. Zone 2 impacts listed in PCN but are not clearly illustrated.
In addition, the buffer impacts are not broken out by impact site; a breakdown of the
square footage of impacts associated with the pump station vs. the sewer line
crossing are not shown.
*Granite Falls S/D 20051429 ver.2 (Wake County) *Sanitary sewer impact "C" has
already occurred; they are asking for after-the-fact. What do we normally do about

that. . HUGE (300') level spreaders. This would be a good site for compliance
inspections after construction to make sure these level spreaders are working right.
Open bottom culvert, so no stream impacts. I have no other issues with this one.
*L'Hermitage at Beaver Creek 20052214 (Wake County) *No impervious amout in PCN;
one of the plans says 53% built-upon area, which appears reasonable based on the site
plan. They are doing 4 bioretention areas and a wet detention pond. Two of the
bioretention areas drain to the pond. However, so does street drainage from portions
of the site. We should probably have Sam or someone take a look at this to ensure
that the nutrient removal requirements are being met. Unclear if there is enough
"forested filter strip" to remove nutrients from pond discharge.
I will try to review the others I have here when I have time,

It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. Each impact must be
listed separately
in the tables below culvert instaIl
(e.g., anon should be listed separately from
riprap dissipater pads). Be sure to indicate if an impact is temporary. All proposed impacts,
permanent and temporary, must be listed, and must be labeled and clearly identifiable on an
accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial)
should be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems.

Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate.
Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for
wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional
space is needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.

1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: Proposed temporary impacts include
30 linear feet of stream channel (Force Main "B") all other impacts are requested for riparian
buffer impacts only.

2. Individually list wetland impacts. Types of impacts include, but are not limited to
mechanized clearing, grading, fill, excavation, flooding, ditching/drainage, etc. For dams,
separately list impacts due to both structure and flooding.

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)

Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
The applicant is requesting to avoid stream impacts and proposing an open bottom culvert for the
road crossing. In addition, one aerial sewer line crossing is proposed with no stream impacts and
one force main that will require only temporary stream impacts The proposed road crossing
and utility line crossing are at near perpendicular angles to minimize impacts to the riparian
buffers.

VIII. Mitigation

DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.

USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such
as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
htlp://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, ifoffsi
to), affected stream and aver basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions
conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
No permanent impacts to streams are proposed therefore stream mitigation is not being
proposed.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
(919) 715-0476 to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For
additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP
website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please
check the appropriate box on page five and provide the following information:

1. Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state/local) funds or the use of
public (federal/state) land? Yes ? No

2. If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at 733-5083 to review current thresholds (919) for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No ?

3. If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please
attach a copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter. Yes ? No ?

X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are to the buffers. Correspondence from the DW
proposed Q
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
1. Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 02B .0243 (Catawba) 15A NCAC
2B
.0250 (Randleman Rules and Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please
identify. Meuse ) . Yes ® No ?
2. If "yes", identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers.
If buffer mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the
buffer multipliers.

3. If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e.,
Donation of Property, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, or Payment into the
Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as identified
within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or .0244, or .0260. Please note that Sanit Sewer "C" impacts
are a result of accidental clearing within Zone 1 and portions of Zone 2 The ap lip cant
proposes to restore Zone 1 of the riparian buffer with approximately 28 trees including
native species and ensure a stable, vegetative cover within Zone 2 to mitigate for these
unintentional impacts.
XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ)
Describe impervious acreage (existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site. Discuss
stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands downstream from
the property. If percent impervious surface exceeds 20%, please provide calculations
demonstrating total proposed impervious level.
The percent impervious for the entire project is 19% The impervious breakdown for the
overall site plan is included. The project will comply with the diffuse flow requirements of the
Neuse Buffer Rules.

I

i

XII. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ)

Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of
wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.
A sanitary sewers stem will be utilized for the proposed subdivision and will tie into existing
adjacent lines.

XIII. Violations (required by DWQ)

Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules?
Yes ? No

Is this an after-the-fact permit application? Yes ? No

XIV. Cumulative Impacts (required by DWQ)
Will this project (based on past and reasonably anticipated future impacts) result in additional
development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality? Yes ? No
If yes, please submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with
the most recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality policy posted on our website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. If no, please provide a short narrative description:
We have reviewed the "DRAFT Internal Policy Cumulative impacts and the 401 Water Quality
Certification and Isolated Wetland Programs" document prepared by the NC Division of Water
Quality on October 3, 2002, version 1.6. The draft states that most residential subdivisions are
unlikely to cause cumulative impacts. Granite Falls Subdivision does not meet any of the three
criteria of private projects that can clearly result in cumulative impacts We anticipate that you
will advise us if a qualitative or quantitative impact analysis is required
I

XV. Other Circumstances (Optional):

It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).

LEVEL SPREADER OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT
The level spreader is defined as an elongated, level threshold, designed to diffuse stormwater runoff.

Maintenance activities shall be performed as follows:
1. After construction and until vegetation has been established, level spreader(s) shall be inspected after
every rainfall. Thereafter, level spreader(s) shall be inspected at least every month and more
frequently during the fall season and after heavy rainfall events:
a. Accumulated sediment, leaves, and trash shall be removed, and repairs made if required.
b. Inspect level spreader(s) for evidence of scour, undercutting, settlement of the structure, and
concentrated flows downhill from the level spreader(s).
c. A level elevation shall be maintained across the entire flow-spreading structure at all times.
Repair or replace the level spreader if it is damaged.
d. Mow vegetative cover to a height of six (6) inches and prune plants if they cover over half of the
level spreader surface.
e. Repair eroded areas and replace/replant dead or damaged vegetation.
2. The contractor should avoid the placement of any material on and prevent construction traffic across
the structure. If the measure is damaged by construction traffic, it shall be repaired immediately.
3. Inspect and repair the collection system (e.g., catch basins, pipes, swales, riprap) four (4) times a year
to maintain proper functioning.
I acknowledge and agree by my signature below that I am responsible for the performance of the maintenance
procedures listed above. I agree to notify DWQ of any problems with the system or prior to any changes to
the system or responsible party.

VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)

Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
The applicant is requesting to avoid stream impacts and proposing an open bottom culvert for the
road crossing. In addition, one aerial sewer line crossing is proposed with no stream impacts and
one force main that will require only temporary stream impacts The proposed road crossing
and utility line crossing are at near perpendicular angles to minimize impacts to the riparian
buffers.

VIII. Mitigation

DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.

USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.

If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required
mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/stnnyide.html.
I
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
No permanent impacts to streams are proposed therefore stream mitigation is not being
proposed
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
(919) 715-0476 to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For
additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP
website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please

a It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DW
Q
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
1. Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 02B .0243 (Catawba) 15A NCAC
2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please
identify. Neuse Yes ® No ?
2. If "yes", identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers.
If buffer mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the
buffer multipliers.

3. If buffer mitigation is required please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e.
Donation of Property, Riparian Buffer Restoration /Enhancement, or. Payment into the
Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as identified
within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or .0244, or .0260. Please note that Sanitary Sewer "C" impacts
are a result of accidental clearinlz within Zone 1 and portions of Zone 2 The ail lip cant
proposes to restore Zone 1 of the riparian buffer with approximately 28 trees including 2
native species and ensure a stable, vegetative cover within Zone 2 to mitigate for these
unintentional impacts.

XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ)

Describe impervious acreage (existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site. Discuss
stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands downstream from
the property. If percent impervious surface exceeds 20%, please provide calculations
demonstrating total proposed impervious level.
The percent impervious for the entire project
p ~ is 19/o. The impervious breakdown for the
overall site plan is included The project will comply with the diffuse flow requirements of the
Neuse Buffer Rules.
II

XII. Sewage Disposal (required b DW
by )
Q
Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of
wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.
A sanitary sewer system will be utilized for the proposed subdivision and will tie into existing
adjacent lines.

XIII. Violations (required by DWQ)

Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules?
Yes ? No

Is this an after-the-fact permit application? Yes ? No

XIV. Cumulative Impacts (required by DWQ)
Will this project (based on past and reasonably anticipated future impacts) result in additional
development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality. Yes ? No
If yes, please submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with
the most recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality policy posted on our website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. If no, please provide a short narrative description:
We have reviewed the "DRAFT Internal Policy, Cumulative impacts and the 401 Water ualit
~ X
Certification and Isolated Wetland Programs" document prepared by the NC Division of Water
Quality on October 3 2002, version 1.6.
The draft states that most residential subdivisions are
unlikely to
cause cumulative impacts. Granite Falls Subdivision does not meet any of the three
criteria of private projects that can clearly result in cumulative impacts We anticipate that you
will advise us if a qualitative or quantitative impact analysis is required
XV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
j choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).

LEVEL SPREADER OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT
The level spreader is defined as an elongated, level threshold, designed to diffuse stormwater runoff.

Maintenance activities shall be performed as follows:
1. After construction and until vegetation has been established, level spreader(s) shall be inspected after
every rainfall. Thereafter, level spreader(s) shall be inspected at least every month and more
frequently during the fall season and after heavy rainfall events:
a. Accumulated sediment, leaves, and trash shall be removed, and repairs made if required.
b. Inspect level spreader(s) for evidence of scour, undercutting, settlement of the structure, and
concentrated flows downhill from the level spreader(s).
c. A level elevation shall be maintained across the entire flow-spreading structure at all times.
Repair or replace the level spreader if it is damaged.
d. Mow vegetative cover to a height of six (6) inches and prune plants if they cover over half of the
level spreader surface.
e. Repair eroded areas and replace/replant dead or damaged vegetation.
2. The contractor should avoid the placement of any material on and prevent construction traffic across
the structure. If the measure is damaged by construction traffic, it shall be repaired immediately.
3. Inspect and repair the collection system (e.g., catch basins, pipes swales riprap) four (4) times a year
to maintain proper functioning.
I acknowledge and agree by my signature below that I am responsible for the performance of the maintenance
procedures listed above. I agree to notify DWQ of any problems with the system or prior to any changes to
the system or responsible party.
