General Water Quality Certifications, and Riparian Buffer and Watershed Buffer Rules
This forni is to be used for projects qualifying for any of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE)
Nationwide, Regional or General Permits as required by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and/or
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, and for the North Carolina Division of Water Quality's
(DWQ) associated General 401 Water Quality Certifications. This form is also to be used for any
project requiring approval under any Riparian Buffer Rules implemented by the N.C. Division of Water
Quality. This form should not be used if you are requesting an Individual 404 Permit or Individual 401
Water Quality Certification. The USACE Individual Peinlit application form is available online at
www.saw.usace.army.miI/wetlands/Pennits.html.
The USACE is the lead regulatory agency. To review the requirements for the use of Nationwide,
Regional or General permits, and to determine which permit applies to your project, please go to the
USACE website at www.saw.Lisace.army.mil/wetlands/index.html, or contact one of the field offices
listed on page 3 of this application. The website also lists the responsible project manager for each
county in North Carolina and provides additional information regarding the identification and regulation
of wetlands and waters of the U.S.
The DWQ issues a corresponding Certification (General or Individual), and cannot tell the applicant
which 401 Certification will apply until the 404 Permit type has been determined by the USACE.
Applicants are encouraged to visit DWQ's 401/Wetlands Unit website at
http//h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands to read about current requirements for the 401 Water Quality
Certification Program and to determine whether or not Riparian Buffer Rules are applicable. The
applicant is also advised to read the full text of the General Certification (GC) matching the specific 404
Permit requested. In some cases, written approval for General Certifications is not required, provided
that the applicant adheres to all conditions of the GC. Applicants lacking access to the internet should
contact DWQ's Central Office in Raleigh at [phone].
Trout Waters Coordination - Special coordination with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC) is required for projects occurring in any of North Carolina's twenty-five
counties that contain trout waters. In such cases, the applicant should contact the appropriate NCWRC
regional coordinator (listed by county on page 4 of this application) prior to submittal of the application.
Page 1 of 14
Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Coordination - If the project occurs in any of North Carolina's
twenty coastal counties (listed on page 4) the applicant should contact the North Carolina Division of
Coastal Management (DCM). DCM will determine whether or not the project is within a designated
Area of Environmental Concern, in which case DCM will act as the lead permitting agency. In such
cases, DCM will require a CAMA Permit and will coordinate the 404/401 Permits.
The applicant may also choose to coordinate with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to ensure
that the proposed project will have no impact upon any endangered or threatened species or critical
habitat as regulated by the Endangered Species Act, and the State Historic Preservation Office, North
Carolina Department of Cultural Resources to ensure that the proposed project will have no impact upon
any properties listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Compliance with
these regulations is required to be eligible for any Department of the Army permit. The addresses for
both agencies are listed on page 3 of this application.
USACE Permits - Submit one copy of this form, along with supporting narratives, maps, data forms,
photos. etc. to the applicable USACE Regulatory Field Office. Upon receipt of an application, the
USACE will determine if the application is complete as soon as possible, not to exceed 30 days. This
PCN form is designed for the convenience of the applicant to address information needs for all USACE
Nationwide, Regional or General permits, as well as information required for State authorizations,
certifications, and coordination. Fully providing the information requested on this form will result in a
complete application for any of the USACE Nationwide, Regional or General permits. To review the
minimum amount of information that must be provided for a complete PCN for each USACE
Nationwide penult, see Condition 13, 67 Fed. Reg. 2090 (Jan. 15, 2002), available at
http://w?,?,\v.usace.army.nill/inet/functions/cw/cecwo/re,/2002nwps.pdf. Processing times vary by
permit and begin once the application has been determined to be complete. Please contact the
appropriate regulatory field office for specific answers to permit processing periods.
401 Water Quality Certification or Buffer Rules - All information is required unless otherwise stated
as optional. Incomplete applications will be returned. Submit seven collated copies of all USACE
Permit materials to the Division of Water Quality, 401/Wetlands Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650. If written approval is required or specifically requested for a 401
Certification, then a non-refundable application fee is required. In brief, if project impacts include less
than one acre of cumulative wetland/water impacts and less than 150 feet cumulative impacts to
streams, then a fee of $200 is required. If either of these thresholds is exceeded, then a fee of $475 is
required. A check made out to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, with the specific name of
the project or applicant identified, should be stapled to the front of the application package. For more
information, see the DWQ website at littp:Hh2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/fees.htm1. The fee must be
attached with the application unless the applicant is a federal agency in which case the check may be
issued from a separate office. In such cases, the project must be identifiable on the U.S. Treasury check
so that it can be credited to the appropriate project. If written approval is sought solely for Buffer Rules,
the application fee does not apply, and the applicant should clearly state (in a cover letter) that only
Buffer Rule approval is sought in writing. Wetlands or waters of the U.S. may not be impacted prior to
issuance or waiver of a Section 401 Water Quality Certification. Upon receipt of a complete application
for a 401 Certification, the Division of Water Quality has 60 days to prepare a written response to the
applicant. This may include a 401 Certification, an on-hold letter pending receipt of additional
requested information, or denial.

Page 6 of 14
9. Describe the existing conditions on the site and general land use in the vicinity of the project
at the time of this application: This project site is linear, approximately 28,300 LF More
than 20,000 LF of the proposed pipeline will be constructed in areas that are in existing City
of Raleigh utility easements. These areas are generally cleared with only grass growing due
to routine maintenance mowing. Other portions of this project travel across and along
existing NCDOT and City streets. These areas consist primarily of maintained yards.
Several NCDOT roads will be crossed by this project as well as the east side of I-440.
10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The proposed project involves the construction of approximately 23,100 linear feet of 16-
inch ductile iron pipeline, 3,000 LF of 6-inch ductile iron pipeline, and 2,300 LF of-4-inch
ductile iron pipeline. Construction will be performed using heavy equipment such as
bulldozers and excavators to dig a trench install the pipe, and backfill. Crossings of stream
chamiels and wetlands will utilize both open trench and jack and bore tecluliques. Where
open trench techniques are used, construction will be completed in dewatered conditions by
using cofferdams and pumps. The majority of the project corridor can already be accessed
along existing roads and utility easements. Only limited clearing of woody vegetation and
trees will be required for construction of the pipeline.
11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: The proposed pipeline will provide reclaimed
water to existing large potable water users in the City of Raleigh. The reclaimed water
provided is to be used for non-potable purposes, such as irrigation, cooling water, and
process water. This system will reduce the consumption of potable water for non potable
purposes in the City of Raleigh. It is not anticipated that this system will result in additional
development pressure along the project corridor.
IV. Prior Project History
If jurisdictional determinations and/or permits have been requested and/or obtained for this
project (including all prior phases of the same subdivision) in the past, please explain. Include
the USACE Action ID Number, DWQ Project Number, application date, and date permits and
certifications were issued or withdrawn. Provide photocopies of previously issued permits,
certifications or other useful information. Describe previously approved wetland, stream and
buffer impacts, along with associated mitigation (where applicable). If this is a NCDOT project,
list and describe permits issued for prior segments of the same T.I.P. project, along with
construction schedules. No prior permitting associated with this project.
V. Future Project Plans
Are any future permit requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work,
and provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application.
Entire project is presented in this application. Additional reuse lines are planned by the City of
Raleigh for the future, but these sections are still in planning and design stages. The proposed
Page 7 of 14
construction will provide a service to existing customers even if future reuse lines are not
VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
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 (e.g., culvert installation 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 tray 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.
Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: The proposed impacts to
streams and wetlands will occur as a result of the trench excavation and backfill necessary to
install the pipeline Tack and bore techniques have been utilized to the greatest extent
practicable to minimize impact All remaining impacts will be temporary, and disturbed
areas will be returned to preexisting contours and immediately stabilized following
construction. All impact areas will occur within existing, maintained utility easements.
Stream crossings will be installed in dewatered condition using cofferdams and pumps to
minimize in stream sedimentation. Riprap may be installed along the stream banks where
necessary to stabilize disturbed banks. Use of riprap stabilization will be minimized, and
measures will be taken to limit the placement of riprap on the streambed. Riprap will not be
placed in such a maimer as to impair the passage of aquatic life within the stream channels.
Riprap already occurs in many of these areas because the project corridor follows existing
utility easements. In these cases, riprap will be replaced where it currently exists.
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,
senarately list impacts due to both structure and flooding.

local stormwater requirement, etc.):
Current land use in the vicinity of the pond:
Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area:
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.
Throughout the project corridor, wetlands and stream impacts have been minimized to the extent
practical. Bore and jack tecluiiques have been used as much as practicable to avoid impacts,
particularly to the largest and highest quality systems, including the crossings of Walnut Creek.
Due to financial restrictions it is not possible to use these techniques to avoid all stream and
wetland crossings. Additionally, the project design avoided the construction of any new
easements across streams and wetlands. As a result, there will be four bore and jack stream
crossings, and one open-cut stream crossing. A portion of one wetland will also be open-cut,
with the remainder being bored (Figure 1.1). All of these impacts are located within existing,
maintained City of Raleigh utility easements. All impacted streams and wetlands will be
returned to preexisting contours following construction.
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
Page 10 of 14

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 Teclinical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.eiir.state.ne.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.litml.
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.
Due to the minimal nature of the impacts to streams and wetlands (i.e. less than 1/10 acre of
wetland and less than 150 LF of streams), mitigation has not been proposed for this project.
Disturbed areas will be returned to pre-construction contours and conditions following
installation of the pipeline. Because all impacts are proposed to occur within existing,
maintained utility easements, no wetland plantings are proposed. Wetland seed mix will be
used within wetland and riparian areas to stabilize disturbed sites following construction.
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
[phone] 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.ne.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please
check the appropriate box on page five and provide the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): N/A
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
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 Enviromnental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Page 11 of 14
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current thresholds for envirornnental 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 proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
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.
Zone* Impact
(square feet) Multiplier Required
Mitigation
2 6,447 N/A
1 7,879 N/A
Total 14,326 N/A
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. Mitigation is not proposed for this project
All impacts will occur in areas that are already maintained as utility easements (i.e., mowed
_grass), so no new maintained easements will be established in the Neuse Buffers and the
resultin,, conditions will be the same as current conditions
XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ)
Describe impervious acreage (existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site. Discuss
stornwater 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.
Page 12 of 14
Due to the nature of the project it is not anticipated that this project will generate any additional
stormwater. The utility line corridors will be returned to grade and allowed to revegetate.
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.
This project is not anticipated to generate any additional wastewater.
XII. 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 pen-nit application? Yes ? No ?
XIII. 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://h 2o.enr.state. ne.ushiewetlands. If no, please provide a short narrative description:
The proposed project will not induce further development. The project is designed to deliver
only non-potable water to existing City of Raleigh utility customers for uses such as irrigation,
cooling water, and process water. All customers who use reuse water could also use treated
drinking water for the same purposes therefore development within the service area for the
proposed project would not be promoted by the establishment of a -reuse distribution system.
Accordingly, it is not anticipated that the project will result in additional development or future,
cumulative imDacts.
XIV. 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).

Dear Mr. Crisp:
October 21, 2008
J
OCT 2 3 2008'
Thank you for your October 10, 2008 letter regarding the proposed Barwell.Road Michaux's
Sumac Preservation Area and the proposed Water Reuse Pipeline on Barwell Road in
Raleigh (Wake County), North Carolina. This letter provides the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service's (Service) response pursuant to section 7 of the Endangered Species Act, as
amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) (Act).
As a result of the City's efforts to create a Miehaux's Sumac Preservation Area, the Service
believes that the proposed Water Reuse Pipeline is not likely to adversely affect Michaux's
Sumac (Rhus ndch=cii) or any other federally protected species. We believe that the
requirements of section 7(a)(2) of the Act have been satisfied. We remind you that
obligations under section 7 consultation must be reconsidered if. (1) new information reveals
impacts of this identified action that may affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner
not previously considered; (2) this action is subsequently modified in a manner that was not
considered in this review; or, (3) a new species is listed or critical habitat determined that
may be affected by the identified action.
The Service is pleased that the City has committed to providing long-term protection of the
Barwell Road Michaux's sumac site. We sincerely appreciate the efforts of Mr. Kenneth
WaIdroup and your consultants at .Kimley Horn and Associates to make this preserve happen..
We look forward to working with your staff and consultants to design this preserve in a way
that will provide the greatest benefit to Michaux's Sumac. Please continue to include Mr.
Dale W. Suiter of my staff in your planning efforts for this preserve. He can be reached at
[phone], Ext. 18 or [e-mail].
Sincerely
P eiBenjamin
