Subject Property: Cypress Village Subdivision, Newport
Approval of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Murdoch:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to
permanently impact 0.27 acres of jurisdictional wetlands and 0.16 acres of isolated wetlands for the
purpose of constructing subdivision roads and roadside ditches, as described within your
application dated February 24, 2009 and received by the Wilmington Regional office (WiRO) on
March 2, 2009 with additional information received on April 20, 2009. After reviewing your
application, it has been determined that the impacts are covered by General Water Quality
Certification Number(s) 3705 (GC3705) and IWGP 100000. The Certifications allow you to use
Nationwide Permit 29 when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the
Isolated Wetland General Permit Number IWGP100000 (enclosed) provided that you can
meet all of the conditions of these certifications.
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
Permit or the expiration date of the IWGP 100000.
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. Additional wetland
impacts that may cause the impacts to exceed the 0.5 acre threshold will be required to be submitted as
an Individual Permit 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
Wetlands
Jurisdictional 0.27 acres Plans S 1.0 sheet 5 of 6 and Plan
Isolated 0.16 acres S 1.1 Sheet 6 of 6 (attached)
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. 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.
4. No Sediment & Erosion Control Measures w/n 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.

5. 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
http: //h2o. enr. state. nc. us/su/Forms Documents. htm (enclosed).
6. Deed Notifications and/or Restrictions
A recorded copy of the deed notifications/restrictive covenants or easements 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 prior to the impacts to wetlands and the stream approved by this Certification can
take place. These mechanisms shall be put in place at the time lots or properties are recorded.
The Deed Notifications shall include the following paragraph.
"The areas shown on the recorded plat as Riparian Buffer Protection Areas shall be
maintained in perpetuity in their natural or mitigated condition. No person or entity shall
fill, grade, excavate, or perform any other land disturbing activities; nor cut, remove, or
harm any vegetation; nor construct any structures or add any additional impervious
surfaces, on such protected areas without written authorization from the Division of
Water Quality (DWQ). This covenant is intended to ensure continued compliance with
authorizations issued by the State of North Carolina, Division of Water Quality, DWQ
Project Number 09-0195, and therefore may be enforced by the State of North Carolina.
This covenant is to run with the land, and shall be binding on the Owner, and all parties
claiming under it."
7. Certificate of Completion
Upon completion of all work approved within the 401 Water Quality Certification or applicable
Buffer Rules, and any subsequent modifications, the applicant is required to return the attached
certificate of completion to the 401/Wetlands Unit, North Carolina Division of Water Quality,
1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650.
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.
