with the application and conditions hereinafter set forth.
Condition(s) of Certification:
1. That the activity be conducted in such a manner
as to prevent significant increase in turbidity
outside the area of construction or construction
related discharge (increases such that the
turbidity in the Stream is 50 NTU's or less
are not considered significant).
2. That the dam shall be properly seeded at the completion
of construction to stabilize the soils and reduce
turbidity impacts.
3. That a vegetative buffer area (minium 50 feet) be
maintained around the perimeter of the pond to
reduce potential pollutants carried with runoff frcan
entering the pond.
4. That the Division of Environmental Management be
allowed access to the pond and dam if necessary to
inspect or sample waters.
Violations of any condition herein set forth shall result in
revocation of this Certification.
This Certification shall beccane null and void unless the above
conditions are made conditions of the Federal Permit.

MEMORANDUM Vjt R i Q W? 1 Y n'?
TO: Bill Mills, Environmental Engineer
Operations Branch
THROUGH: Jim Mulligan, Regional Supervisor
Washington Regional Office
FROM: William J. Moore, Environmental Technician'/
Washington Regional Office
SUBJECT: 401 Certification
Preston Monds
Chowan County
The proposed project is located southeast of the intersection of SR 1311
and SR 1310 and about 2 miles east of Small's Crossroads in Chowan
County. Mr. Monds proposes to construct an earthen dike across a 404
wooded wetland area. This wetland area is tributary to Dillard Creek,
which is classified BNSW. The proposed dike is 450 ft. long by 8 ft.
high by 14 ft. top width, and involves fill in approximately 0.3 acres
of wetlands. The impounded water area is estimated to be about 7 acres.
The stated purpose of the project is to provide impounded waters for
farm irrigation and trap non-point source runoff.
The proposed project raises 2 important concerns regarding potential
impacts on water quality. The first concern is the potential for a
depletion of dissolved oxygen levels in both the impounded waters and
receiving waters. The impounded area will encompass about 7 acres, most
of which is vegetated with 404 type wetlands. A significant portion of
the vegetation will die once the area is flooded and contribute to an
organic layer within the impoundment. This organic material will exert
an oxygen demand on the impounded water which will result in a
contravention of the dissolved oxygen standard. When impounded waters
are discharged downstream, this same oxygen depletion will likely occur.
It is anticipated that the extent and duration of oxygen depletion in
the receiving waters will be increased as a result of the proposed
impoundment structure.
The second concern relates to the potential for nutrient enrichment of
the receiving waters. The impoundment will, in fact, act as a settling
basin and filter upland runoff. As a result, nutrients will be trapped
in the impoundment for some indefinite period of time. The concern is
that nutrients may concentrate in the impounded waters and then be
released downstream. With the nutrient and associated algal problems
that currently exist in the Chowan River Basin, any project resulting in
a discharge should be designed to avoid any significant increase of
nutrients to the system.

It is anticipated that the proposed project will have significant
adverse impacts on water quality, and that a contravention of the
dissolved oxygen standard will occur. Therefore, it is recommended that
the 401 water quality certification be denied.
