Re: Section 401 Water Quality Certification application
Dear Mr. Preuniger:
On May 19, 2009, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) received your application for a 401 General
Water Quality Certification to impact 367 linear feet of stream and 0.071 acres of wetlands for construction of the
Lynwood Lakes Sewer and Water Improvements in Greensboro NC in Guilford County. Additional information is
required in order that we may determine your project's compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0500. The Division will require
this information in order to process your application to impact protected wetlands and/or streams on the subject property.
Therefore, we will place this project on hold as incomplete until we receive this additional information, and if we do not
receive the additional information requested below, we will have to move toward denial of your application as required by
15A NCAC 2H.0506. Please provide the following information so that we may continue to review your project.
1. Please provide a detail showing restoration of temporary crossing areas. The detail should include clear
instructions that indicate riprap is to be removed and/or reinstalled to below the water level. The
Division prefers that natural matting material be used whenever appropriate.
2. Per Condition 19 of General Certification 3699, the temporary construction easement within wetlands or
at stream crossings may only be 40 feet wide. The impact sheets submitted with the application indicate
some temporary construction easement areas of up to 55 feet wide. Please revise the plans accordingly.
3. Per Condition 12 of General Certification 3699, the edge of the construction corridor may not be closer
than 10 feet to a stream. The impact sheets submitted appear to indicate there are areas where the
temporary construction corridor is beyond, or right adjacent to the top of the stream bank. Please review
this information and adjust your design plans accordingly. If adjustment is impossible, please provide a
construction sequence for working along the top of the stream bank that addresses sediment and erosion
control measures as well as restoration of the area upon construction completion.
4. For areas of the sewer line that are parallel to the stream channel and within wetland areas, please
indicate whether any sediment and erosion control measures will be placed outside of the temporary
construction easement shown on the plans.
