Approval of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Ms. Hilliard:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill
within or otherwise impact 50 linear feet of stream for the purpose of replacing existing 48" CMP with an
8ft X 6ft pre-cast reinforced concrete box culvert at the subject property, as described within your
application dated February 10, 2006, and received by the N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on
February 13, 2006. After reviewing your application, we have decided that the impacts are covered by
General Water Quality Certification Number(s) 3404 (GC3404). The Certification(s) allows you to use
Nationwide Permit(s) NW14 when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). 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 other 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 or CAMA
Permit.
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. 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 211.0506 (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:

2. 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. Sufficient materials required for stabilization and/or repair of erosion control measures and
stormwater routing and treatment shall be on site at all times.
3. 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;
4. Protective Fencing - The outside buffer, wetland or :water boundary and along the construction corridor
within these boundaries approved under this authorization shall be clearly marked with orange warning
fencing (or similar high visibility material) for the areas that have been approved to infringe within the
buffer, wetland or water prior to any land disturbing activities to ensure compliance with I SA NCAC
2B .0233 and GC 3404;
5. Culvert Installation
Culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profiles are
not altered. Existing stream dimensions (including the cross section dimensions, pattern, and
longitudinal profile) must be maintained above and below locations of each culvert. Culverts shall be
designed and installed to allow for aquatic life movement as well as to prevent head cutting of the
streams. If any of the existing pipes are or become perched, the appropriate stream grade shall be re-
established or, if the pipes installed in a perched manner, the pipes shall be removed and re-installed
correctly.
Culvert(s) shall not be installed in such a manner that will cause aggradation or erosion of the stream up
or down stream of the culvert(s). Existing stream dimensions (including the cross section dimensions,
pattern and longitudinal profile) shall be maintained above and below locations of each culvert.
Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams, and wetlands must be placed 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 48 inches, to allow low flow
passage of water and aquatic life. Design and placement of culverts and other structures including
temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a manner that may result in dis-
equilibrium of wetlands or streambeds or banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above
structures. The applicant is required to provide evidence that the equilibrium shall be maintained if
requested in writing by DWQ:
The establishment of native, woody vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization techniques must
be used where practicable instead of rip rap or other bank hardening methods. If rip-rap is necessary, it
shall not be placed in the stream bed, unless specifically approved by the Division of Water Quality.

(Neuse), 15A NCAC 2B.0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 02B.0243 (Catawba) 15A NCAC
2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please
identify )? Yes ? No
If "yes % identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers.
If buffer mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the
buffer multipliers.
Zme* Impact
(square feet) Multiplier Required
Miti
gation 3 (2 for Catawba)
2 1.5
Total
* Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from the top of the near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends an
additional 20 fleet from the edge of Zone 1.
3. If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is .proposed (ie.,
Donation of Property, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, or Payment into the
Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as identified
within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or .0244, or .0260. N/A
XI. Stormwater (required by DWQ)
Describe impervious acreage (existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site. Discuss
stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands downstream from
the property. If percent impervious surface exceeds 20%, please provide calculations
demonstrating total proposed impervious level.
Page 7 of 8
Impervious acreage will not change.
Erosion and sedimentation prevention and control will be maintained throughout this project
primarily through proper water management construction sequencingproper staging and
stockpiling material, and the maintenance at all times of suitable channel capacity for expected
flow events. No equipment fuels, lubricants, or other potential sources of water pollution will
be stored in areas that could be flooded during this project.
- XII. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ)
Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of
wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.
Portable facilities shall be provided at the work site.
XIII. Violations (required by DWQ)
Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H.0500) or any Buffer Rules?
. Yes ? No
Is this an after-the-fact permit application? Yes ? No
XIV. Cumulative Impacts (required by DWQ)
Will this project (based on past and reasonably anticipated future impacts) result in additional
development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality? Yes [_1 No
If yes, please submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with
the most recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality policy posted on our website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. If no, please provide a short narrative description:
I]gproject consists of removing, an existing washed out culvert and replacing it with a larger
culvert. By replacing the culvert the available habitat for aquatics will be increased. The
proposed project will not have impacts to downstream water quality.
XV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).
