Approval of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mrs. Osteen:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to permanently
impact 0.07 acres of jurisdictional wetlands for the purpose of a road crossing to access the subdivision,
as described within your application dated September 24, 2008 and received by the Wilmington Regional
office on October 3, 2008. After reviewing your application, it has been determined that the impacts are
covered by General Water Quality Certification Number(s) 3704 (GC3704). The Certification(s) allows
you to use Nationwide Permit(s) 14 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.
The Additional Conditions of the Certification are:
1. 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:
Amount Approved (Units) Plan Location or Reference
Stream N/A (feet)

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 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.
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.

7. Construction Stormwater Permit NCG010000
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 hqp.-Ilh2o.enr.state.nc.us/su/Forms Documents htm. Copy enclosed

Violations of any condition herein set forth may result in revocation of this Certification and may result in
criminal and/or civil penalties. The authorization to proceed with your proposed impacts or to conduct
impacts to waters as depicted in your application and as authorized by this Certification shall expire upon
expiration of the 404 or CAMA Permit.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this Certification (associated with the approved wetland
impacts), you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that you
