3. This approval is for the purpose and design described in your application and as described in
the Public Notice. The plans and specifications for this project are incorporated by reference
and are an enforceable part of the Certification. Any modifications to the project require
notification to DWR and may require an application submittal to DWR with the appropriate
fee. [15A NCAC 02H .0501 and .0502]
4. No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands or waters beyond the footprint
of the impacts (including temporary impacts) as authorized under this Certification. [15A NCAC
02H .0501 and .0502]
5. All construction activities shall be performed and maintained in full compliance with G.S.

within the footprint of temporary or permanent impacts authorized under this Certification.
[15A NCAC 02H .0501 and .0502]
7. Erosion control matting that incorporates plastic mesh and/or plastic twine shall not be used
along streambanks or within wetlands. [15A NCAC 02B .0201]
8. An NPDES Construction Stormwater Permit (NCG010000) is required for construction
projects that disturb one (1) or more acres of land. The NCGO10000 Permit allows
stormwater to be discharged during land disturbing construction activities as stipulated in
the conditions of the permit. If the project is covered by this permit, full compliance with
permit conditions including the erosion & sedimentation control plan, inspections and
maintenance, self-monitoring, record keeping and reporting requirements is required. [15A
NCAC 02H .0506(b)(5) and (c)(5)]
9. All work in or adjacent to streams shall be conducted so that the flowing stream does not
come in contact with the disturbed area. Approved best management practices from the
most current version of the NCSediment and Erosion Control Manual, or the NC DDT
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
NCAC 02H .0506(b)(3) and (c)(3)]
10. Application of fertilizer to establish planted/seeded vegetation within disturbed riparian areas
and/or wetlands shall be conducted at agronomic rates and shall comply with all other Federal,

and 15A NCAC 02B.0231]
11. If concrete is used during construction, then all necessary measures shall be taken to prevent
direct contact between uncured or curing concrete and waters of the state. Water that
inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to waters of the state. [15A
NCAC 02B .02001

12. No temporary impacts are allowed beyond those included in this Certification. All temporary
fill and culverts shall be removed and the impacted area shall be returned to natural conditions
within 60 calendar days after the temporary impact is no longer necessary. The impacted
areas shall be restored to original grade, including each stream's original cross sectional
dimensions, planform pattern, and longitudinal bed profile. All temporarily impacted sites shall
be restored and stabilized with native vegetation. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(2) and (c)(2)]
13. All proposed and approved temporary pipes/culverts/rip-rap pads etc. in streams shall be
installed as outlined in the most recent edition of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion
Control Planning and Design Manual or the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual or the North
Carolina Department of Transportation Best Management Practices for Construction and
Maintenance Activities so as not to restrict stream flow or cause dis-equilibrium during use of
this Certification. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(2) and (c)(2)j
14. 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. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(2)]
15. This Certification does not relieve the applicant of the responsibility to obtain all other
required Federal, State, or Local approvals before proceeding with the project, including those
required by, but not limited to Sediment and Erosion Control, Non -Discharge, Water Supply
Watershed, and Trout Buffer regulations.
16. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters shall be inspected and maintained
regularly to prevent contamination of surface waters from fuels, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, or
other toxic materials. Construction shall be staged in order to minimize the exposure of
equipment to surface waters to the maximum extent practicable. Fueling, lubrication and
general equipment maintenance shall not take place within 50 feet of a waterbody or wetlands
to prevent contamination by fuels and oils. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(3) and (c)(3) and 15A
NCAC 02B .0211 (12)]
17. Heavy equipment working in wetlands shall be placed on mats or other measures shall be
taken to minimize soil disturbance. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(3) and (c)(3)]

Certification (and written authorization if applicable) and is responsible for complying with all
conditions. [15A NCAC 02H .0501 and .0502]

waters, or any right of use in any waters. This Certification does not authorize any person to
interfere with the riparian rights, littoral rights, or water use rights of any other person and
this Certification does not create any prescriptive right or any right of priority regarding any
usage of water. This Certification shall not be interposed as a defense in any action respecting
the determination of riparian or littoral rights or other rights to water use. No consumptive
user is deemed by virtue of this Certification to possess any prescriptive or other right of
priority with respect to any other consumptive user regardless of the quantity of the
withdrawal or the date on which the withdrawal was initiated or expanded.
23. This certification grants permission to the director, an authorized representative of the
Director, or DENR staff, upon the presentation of proper credentials, to enter the property
during normal business hours. [15A NCAC 02H .0502(e)]
