Anthony please find attached the response letter and plans for this. I am mailing the originals out today.
Any chance we can release Bendigo Bay buffer authorization? We are trying to get that EC permit as soon as we can to
begin the next phase.
Thanks,

401 Permit and
Buffer Authorization Violations
Craven County
Dear Mr. Sydes:
This letter is to notify you that the Washington Regional Office of the Division of Water Resources (DWR) is
considering taking an enforcement action for violations observed during recent site visit by staff from the
DWR Washington Regional Office. On April 24, 2018, Anthony Scarbraugh of DWR Washington Regional
Office met with Bobby Billingsley and John Thomas of Thomas Engineering, PC (your consultant) and
Bradley West and James Edwards with the of Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resource at the subject
property known as Fenwick Isle at Bluewater Rise and South Wind at Bluewater Rise located on the
northwest intersection of Old Airport Road and Country Line Road near New Bern, Craven County. The
purpose of the meeting was to discuss the permit condition violations resulting from the improper
installation of road crossing and removal of riparian buffer vegetation within Zone 1 documented by DWR
during a previous compliance inspection conducted on March 26, 2018.
During the meeting, DWR staff required the restoration plan provide documentation of pre- and post -
restoration conditions associated with the improper installation of the road crossing double barrel
culverts at the Fenwick Isle at Bluewater Rise subdivision. DWR staff specifically discussed the off-line
installation of the double barrel culverts and the excavation of the Zone 1 and installation of rip -rap along
the bank of the outlet pipes. DWR staff also requested that documentation verifying that the stormwater
conveyance culverts installed under Bluewater Boulevard and associated erosion and sediment measures
were not encroaching into jurisdictional wetlands. DWR staff also discussed the unauthorized removal of
vegetation impacting approximately 63 linear feet of Zone 1 within the South Wind portion of the
Bluewater Rise subdivision.

I. 401 WQC and Buffer Authorization Condition Violations (Title 15A NCAC 02H .0500 and 15A NCAC
02B.0233)
401 Project No. 2016-0325 V2
A. Sydes Construction, Inc. submitted a Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) on November 18, 2016 with
subsequent information received on December 14, 2016. The impacts were requested under U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit Number 29, and the corresponding General Water Quality
Certification. DWR issued an approval letter for the impacts on January 3, 2017. The approval letter
specifies that the activities must follow the conditions listed in the General Water Quality Certification
and Buffer Authorization, as well as additional conditions listed in the letter.
General Water Quality Certification 3890 and Buffer Authorization, Additional Condition 1 states
the following: The following impacts are hereby approved provided that all of the other specific and
general conditions of the Certification are met. No other impacts are approved, including incidental
impacts. [15A NCAC 026 .0501 and .0502]

Specifically, the 401 and Buffer Authorization Certification authorized impacts associated with the
installation of a road crossing. The excavation within Zone 1 and installation of rip -rap resulted in
approximately 500 square feet of unauthorized impacts to the Neuse River Riparian Buffer.
General Water Quality Certification 3890 and Buffer Authorization, Additional Condition 2 states
the following: This approval is for the purpose and design described in your application. The plans
and specifications for this project are incorporated by reference as part of the Certification. If you
change your project, you must notify the Division and you may be required to submit a new
application package with the appropriate fee. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a

copy of this approval letter and General Certification and is responsible for complying with all
conditions. [15A NCAC 026 .0501 and .0502]
During the inspection, DWR staff noted the installation of the double barrel culvert was not installed in
accordance with the approved plan.
General Water Quality Certification 3890, General Condition 2 states the following: Standard
Erosion and Sediment Control Practices
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:
a. 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. 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.
e. Sufficient materials required for stabilization and/or repair of erosion control measures
and stormwater routing and treatment shall be on site at all times. [15A NCAC 02H .0501
and .0502]
At the time of inspection, DWR and DEMLR staff noted erosion and sediment control measure failures at
the road crossing.
General Water Quality Certification 3890, General Condition 7 states the following: Riparian Area
Protection (Buffer) Rules
Activities located in the protected riparian areas (whether jurisdictional wetlands or not), within the
Neuse, Tar -Pamlico, or Catawba River Basin or in the Randleman, Jordan, or Goose Creek Watersheds
(or any other basin or watershed with buffer rules) shall be limited to "uses" identified within and
constructed in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0233, .0259, .043, .0250, .0260 and .0605, and shall
be located, designed, constructed, and maintained to have minimal disturbance to protect water
quality to the maximum extent practicable through the use of best management practices. All buffer
rule requirements, including diffuse flow requirements, must be met. [15A NCAC 02H .0501 and
.0502]
Specifically, the 401 and Buffer Authorization Certification authorized that diffuse flow through the
riparian buffer was to be maintained via the installation of level spreaders. DWR staff observed during
the March and April 2018 sit inspection that diffuse flow was not being maintained through the riparian
buffer.
South Wind at Bluewater Rise
II. Neuse River Buffer Rule Violation (15A NCAC 28 .0233)

A. SYDES CONSTRUCTION, INC.
CRAVEN COUNTY
Page 4 of 6
The riparian buffer extends fifty feet landward of coastal marsh or from the top of bank from any feature that
shows as a surface water on either the soil survey map prepared by the Natural Resource Conservation
Service of the United States Department of Agriculture or the most recent version of the 1:24000 scale
quadrangle topographic maps prepared by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) in buffered counties.
The purpose of these rules is to protect and preserve riparian buffers in the Neuse River Basin to maintain
the nutrient removal functions of the streamside areas necessary to protect surface waters. Specifically,
this Rule applies to the 50 -foot wide riparian buffers directly adjacent to surface waters in the Neuse River
Basin (intermittent streams, perennial streams, lakes, ponds, and estuaries). Further, the protected
riparian buffer has two zones as follows: (a) Zone 1 [measured from the most landward limit of the normal
high water level, normal water level or the landward limit of coastal wetlands as defined by Division of
Coastal- anag�d extending landward a distance of 30 feet] shall consist of a vegetated area that
is undisturbed except for uses provided for in Subparagraph (6) of 15A NCAC 2B .0233, and (b) Zone 2
[the outer 20 feet, landward from the outer edge of Zone 1) shall consist of a stable vegetated area that is
undisturbed except for activities and uses provided for in Subparagraph (6) of 15A NCAC 2B .0233. Any
activity within the riparian buffer other than those uses listed as "Exempt" requires approval from the
DWQ. As previously stated a file review has confirmed that no approval was sought or given to impact
the previously described area.
• Specifically, the inspection revealed that the removal of Zone 1 vegetation resulted in impacts to
approximately 63 linear feet (1,890 ftz) of riparian zone bordering UTs of Brice Creek.

7. Riparian Area Protection (Buffer) Rules
Activities located in the protected riparian areas (whether jurisdictional wetlands or not),
within the Neuse, Tar -Pamlico, or Catawba River Basins or in the Randleman, Jordan, or
Goose Creek Watersheds (or any other basin or watershed with buffer rules) shall be limited
to "uses" identified within and constructed in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0233, .0259,
.0243, .0250, .0267 and .0605, and shall be located, designed, constructed, and maintained
to have minimal disturbance to protect water quality to the maximum extent practicable
through the use of best management practices. All buffer rule requirements, including diffuse
flow requirements, must be met.
8. If concrete is used during the construction, then all necessary measures shall be taken to
event 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
due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life/ fish kills.
9. Bridge deck drains shall not discharge directly into the stream. Stormwater shall be directed
across the bridge and pre-treated through site -appropriate means (grassed swales, pre-
formed scour holes, vegetated buffers, etc.) before entering the stream. Please refer to the
most current version of Stormwater Best Management Practices. Exceptions to this condition
require written approval by the Division.
10. Compensatory Mitigation
In accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .0506 (h), compensatory mitigation may be required for
losses of equal to or greater than 150 linear feet of streams (intermittent and perennial)
and/or equal to or greater than one (1) acre of wetlands. For linear public transportation
projects, impacts equal to or exceeding 150 linear feet per stream shall require mitigation.
Buffer mitigation may be required for any project with Buffer Rules in effect at the time of
application for activities classified as "Allowable with Mitigation" or"Prohibited" within the
Table of Uses.
A determination of buffer, wetland, and stream mitigation requirements shall be made for any
General Water Quality Certification for this Nationwide and/or Regional General Permit.
Design and monitoring protocols shall follow the US Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington
District Stream Mitigation Guidelines (April 2003) or its subsequent updates. Compensatory
mitigation plans shall be submitted to the Division for written approval as required in those
protocols. The mitigation plan must be implemented and/or constructed before any impacts
occur on site. Alternatively, the Division will accept payment into an in -lieu fee program or a
mitigation bank. In these cases, proof of payment shall be provided to the Division before
any impacts occur on site.

11. Relocated stream designs should include the same dimensions, patterns, and profiles as the
existing channel (or a stable reference reach if the existing channel is unstable), to the
maximum extent practical. The new channel should be constructed in the dry and water shall
not be turned into the new channel until the banks are stabilized. Vegetation used for bank
stabilization shall be limited to native woody species, and should include establishment of a
30 -foot wide wooded and an adjacent 20 -foot wide vegetated buffer on both sides of the
relocated channel to the maximum extent practical. A transitional phase incorporating
appropriate erosion control matting materials and seedling establishment is allowable,
however matting that incorporates plastic mesh and/or plastic twine shall not be used in
wetlands, riparian buffers or floodplains as recommended by the North Carolina Sediment
and Erosion Control Manual. Rip -rap, A -Jacks, concrete, gabions or other hard structures
may be allowed if it is necessary to maintain the physical integrity of the stream; however, the
,.r,..__..-...__.� -_-_ -----
of rip -rap coverage. Please note that if the stream relocation is conducted as a stream
restoration as defined in the US Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington District, April 2003
Stream Mitigation Guidelines (or its subsequent updates), the restored length may be used
as compensatory mitigation for the impacts resulting from the relocation.
12. Stormwater Management Plan Requirements
All applications shall address stormwater management throughout the entire project area per
the 401 Stormwater Requirements, referenced herein as "Attachment A" at the end of this
Certification
13. Placement of Culverts and Other Structures in Waters and Wetlands
Culverts required for this project shall be designed and installed in such a manner that the
original stream profiles are not altered and allow for aquatic life movement during low flows.
Existing stream dimensions (including the cross section dimensions, pattern, and longitudinal
profile) must be maintained above and below locations of each culvert.
Placement of culverts and other structures in waters and streams must be below the
elevation of the streambed by one foot for all culverts with a diameter greater than 48 inches,
and 20 percent of the culvert diameter for culverts having a diameter less than or equal to 48
inches, to allow low flow passage of water and aquatic life.
When topographic constraints indicate culvert slopes of greater than 5%, culvert burial is not
required, provided that all alternative options for flattening the slope have been investigated
and aquatic life movement/ connectivity has been provided when possible (rock ladders,
crossvanes, etc). Notification to the Division including supporting documentation to include a
location map of the culvert, culvert profile drawings, and slope calculations shall be provided
to the Division 60 days prior to the installation of the culvert.
When bedrock is present in culvert locations, culvert burial is not required provided that there
is sufficient documentation of the presence of bedrock. Notification to the Division including
supporting documentation such as, but not limited to, a location map of the culvert,
geotechnical reports, photographs, etc shall be provided to the Division a minimum of 60
days prior to the installation of the culvert. If bedrock is discovered during construction, then
the Division shall be notified by phone or email within 24 hours of discovery.
If other site-specific topographic constraints preclude the ability to bury the culverts as
described above and/or it can be demonstrated that burying the culvert would result in
destabilization of the channel, then exceptions to this condition require application submittal
to, and written approval by, the Division of Water Quality, regardless of the total impacts to
streams or wetlands from the project.
Water Quality Certification No. 3890

Water Quality Certification No. 3890
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 riprap or other bank hardening
methods.
14. All temporary fill and culverts shall be removed and the impacted area returned to natural
con i ions 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 for the
approved maintenance areas) and restored to prevent erosion.
15. 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 or the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual so as not to restrict stream flow
or cause dis-equilibrium during use of this General Certification.
16. 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 rip -rap shall buried and/or "keyed in" such that the original stream
elevation and streambank contours are restored and maintained. Placement of rip -rap or
other approved materials shall not result in de -stabilization of the stream bed or banks
upstream or downstream of the area.
17. Any rip -rap used for stream stabilization shall be of a size and density so as not to be able to
be carried off by wave, current action, or stream flows and consist of clean rock or masonry
material free of debris or toxic pollutants. Rip -rap shall not be installed in the streambed
except in specific areas required for velocity control and to ensure structural integrity of bank
stabilization measures.
18. A one-time application of fertilizer to re-establish vegetation is allowed in disturbed areas
including riparian buffers, but is restricted to no closer than 10 feet from top of bank of
streams. Any fertilizer application must comply with all other Federal, State and Local
regulations.
19. If this Water Quality Certification is used to access building sites, then all lots owned by the
applicant must be buildable without additional impacts to streams or wetlands. The applicant
is required to provide evidence that the lots are buildable without requiring additional impacts
to wetlands, waters, or buffers if required to do so in writing by the Division. For road
construction purposes, this Certification shall only be utilized from natural high ground to
natural high ground.
20. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all retained jurisdictional
wetlands, waters, and protective buffers within the project boundaries in order to assure
compliance for future wetland, water, and buffer impact. These mechanisms shall be put in
place at the time of recording of the property or of individual lots whichever is appropriate. A
sample deed notification can be downloaded from the 401/Wetlands Unit web site at
http7//portal ncdenr om/web/wq/swp/ws/401/certsandoermits/apply/forms. The text of the

discharge to streams and wetlands must discharge at a non-erosive velocity prior to
entering the stream or wetland during the peak flow from the ten-year storm.
Vegetated Setbacks. A 30 -foot wide vegetated setback must be maintained adjacent to
streams, rivers and tidal waters in areas that are not subject to a state Riparian Area
Protection Rule or other more stringent vegetated setback requirements. The width of
the setback shall be measured horizontally from the normal pool elevation of impounded
structures, the top -of -bank of streams and rivers, and the mean high waterline of tidal
waters, perpendicular to shoreline. Vegetated setback and filters required by state rules
or local governments may be met concurrently with this requirement and may contain
coastal, isolated or 404 jurisdictional wetlands. Non -jurisdictional portions of the
vegetated setback may be cleared and graded, but must be planted with and maintained
in grass or other vegetative or plant material .3
iii. Construction and Operation. The stormwater management plan must be constructed
and operational before any permanent building or other structure is occupied or utilized at
the site. The stormwater management plan, including drainage patterns, must be
maintained in perpetuity."
iv. Coordination with Other Stormwater Programs. Projects that are subject to another

Notice of Violation Written Response
Reference NOV-2018-PC-0170
New Bern, Craven County, North Carolina
2015-027
Dear Anthony,
May 25, 2018
As required, this letter is to provide written response to the Notice of Violation as
received by A. Sydes Construction, Inc., on May 21 st, 2018 for the above referenced
project. I will respond to each item as requested in the NOV in RED below:
1. Within 30 calendar days of receipt of this Notice, please provide a plan of action
with specific time frames and dates to accomplish the below items. Pipe re-
alignment work will commence when approved. Couplings will need to be
fabricated and the re -work will be completed as soon as materials can be
delivered to the site. The reforestation will be complete between November 1,
2018 and December 1, 2018, as per seasonal limitations guidance.
2. Please explain when construction (mechanized grading, excavation and fill
activities) began at the site and how these impacts occurred. The majority of the
buffer disturbance apparently occurred when the site was logged and the logger
went outside the permitted limits of disturbance that were properly flagged by
Thomas Engineering. The pipe installation was completed in March 2018.
3. Please provide documentation (including a detailed site map/survey) depicting all
jurisdictional water features (e.g. streams, wetlands and/or waters) on the site.
This documentation should describe and quantify the impacts to those
jurisdictional features and should include plans to avoid further unauthorized
impacts of the site. Restoration plan attached.

4. Please submit a Restoration Plan to this Office for review and approval. You are
encouraged to secure a consultant to assist you with your plan development and
with obtaining any permit, certification, and/or authorization necessary to achieve
compliance. This plan should include the following: Restoration plan attached.
b. Wetland Restoration Plan (Wetland impacts) — The restoration plan must detail
how the unauthorized impacts to wetlands that cannot be permitted will be
removed and how the wetlands will be restored. This information must be
clearly depicted on a map that you provide as a part of this response. Restoration
plan attached addressing these items.
Satisfactory buffer restoration requires the replanting of at least 2 native
hardwood wetland species and the maintenance of a stem density /survivorship of
at least 260 trees per acre at the end of 3 years. Restoration plan attached
addressing these items.
Please address how the issue of non -diffuse flow through the buffer will be
addressed. All stormwater conveyances must achieve sheet flow before entering
the buffer. Level spreaders to be installed upstream of the Zone 2 buffers on the
south side of Bluewater Blvd. as originally permitted by June 15, 2018.
d. Please indicate in your response a schedule with dates detailing when the
restoration will be accomplished. This schedule should include a three-year
monitoring plan to ensure that the wetlands are restored. It is the expectation of
this Office that the restoration will be completed by December 1, 2018.
• Assume Restoration Plan Approval by DWR on or before by July 1St,
2018.
Pipe re -alignment work commences as soon as plan approved.
Reforestation work November 1, 2018 to December 1, 2018.
Monitoring commences on or before December 1St, 2018 and extends
through July 1St 2021. Vegetation inspected every 6 months with any trees
that die off being replaced.
5. Finally, you should include in your response an explanation of how you propose
to prevent these problems from reoccurring on this project and on future projects.
We will try to stay closer to the loggers to verify that they fuller understand their
boundaries.
Attached are two (2) original copies of the restoration plan. Please review the restoration
plan and let me know if you have any questions, concerns, or require additional
information. Once the plans area approved, we will commence repair activities, followed
by inspection and monitoring.
