project is covered bythis permit, full compliance with permit conditions including the
erosion & sedimentation control plan, inspections and maintenance, self-monitoring, record
keeping and reporting requirements isrequired. Acopy 0fthe general permit

13. Work in the Dry
All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted sothat the flowing stream does
not come incontact with the disturbed area. Approved best management practices from the
most current version Qfthe NCSediment and Erosion Control Manual, orthe NCDOT
Construction and Maintenance Activities Manual, such as sandbags, rock berms, cofferdams,
and other diversion structures shall be used to minimize excavation in flowing water. [15A
14. If concrete is used during the construction, then all necessary measures shall be taken to
prevent direct contact between uncured nrcuring concrete and waters ofthe state, Water
that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not bedischarged tQwaters ofthe state
due tothe potential for elevated pHand possible aquatic life/fish kills. [15ANCACO2B.02801
15. Placement of Culverts and Other Structures in Waters and Wetlands [15A NCAC 02H
Culverts required for this project sha!l beinstalled insuch amanner that the original Strearm
profiles are not altered and to allow for aquatic life movement during low flows. Existing
stream dimensions (including the cn055-S2[tiOn dimensions, pattern and longitudinal profile)
must bemaintained above and below locations ufeach culvert.
Placement ofculverts and other structures inwaters, streams must be below the elevation of
the streemnbedbyone /1\foot for all culverts with adiameter greater than 48inches, and Z0
percent Qfthe culvert diameter for culverts having ediameter less than 48inches, toallow
low flow passage of water and aquatic life.

Page 7 of 9
Installation of culverts in wetlands must ensure continuity of water movement and be
designed to adequately accommodate high water or flood conditions. Additionally, when
roadways, causeways, or other fill projects are constructed across FEMA -designated
floodways or wetlands, openings such as culverts or bridges must be provided to maintain the
natural hydrology of the system as well as prevent constriction of the floodway that may
result in destabilization of streams or wetlands.
The establishment of native, woody vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization
techniques must be used where practicable instead of rip rap or other bank hardening
methods.
16. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel in
order to minimize sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the
stream. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(3)]
17. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and
maintained to prevent contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids,
or other toxic materials. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(3)]
18. During the construction of the project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in
waters of the U.S., or protected riparian buffers. [15A NCAC 02H.0506(b)(2)]
19. All temporary fill and culverts shall be removed and the impacted area returned to natural
conditions, within 60 days of the determination that the temporary impact is no longer
necessary. The impacted areas shall be restored to original grade, including each stream's
original cross sectional dimensions, plan form pattern, and longitudinal bed and bed profile,
and the various sites shall be stabilized with natural woody vegetation (except approved
maintenance areas) and restored to prevent erosion. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(2) and (c)(2)]
20. All temporary pipes/culverts/riprap pads etc, shall be installed in all streams as outlined in the
most recent edition of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design
Manual so as not to restrict stream flow or cause dis-equilibrium. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(2)
and (c)(2)]
21. Any riprap required for proper culvert placement, stream stabilization, or restoration of
temporarily disturbed areas shall be restricted to the area directly impacted by the approved
construction activity. All riprap shall be buried and/or "keyed in" such that the original
stream elevation and streambank contours are restored and maintained. Placement of riprap
or other approved materials shall not result in de -stabilization of the stream bed or banks
upstream or downstream of the area. t15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(2)]

wave action, current action, or stream flows and consist of clean rock or masonry material
free ofdebris ortoxic pollutants. Riprapshall not beinstalled inthe streammbedexcept in
specific areas required for velocity control and to ensure integrity nfbank stabilization

Division determines that such standards or laws are not being nn8t (including the failure to
sustain designated or achieved use) or that State or federal law is being violated, or that
further conditions are necessary to assure compliance, the Division may reevaluate and
modify this Certification. Before modifying the Certification, the Division shall notify Neal
