APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Williams:
P.M. Development, LLC has our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place permanent fill
in 130 linear feet of perennial stream in order to construct a road crossing for the Meadowfield Residential
Subdivision located on Friedburg Church Road, in Davidson County south of Winston-Salem, as described in
your application received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on March 9, 2006. After reviewing your
application, we have determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3402,
which can be viewed on our web site at http://www.ncwaterquality.org/wetlands.html. This Certification
allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 39 when it is issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In
addition, you should secure any other applicable federal, state or local permits before you proceed with your
project, including (but not limited to) those required by Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge, and
Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also, this approval will expire when the accompanying 404 permit
expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
This approval is valid only for the purpose and design that you have described in your application. If you
change your project, you must notify us in writing, and you may be required to send us a new application for a
new certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the Certification and
approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland fill for this
project (now or in the future) exceeds one acre, or total fill to perennial streams equals or exceeds 150 linear
feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h). For this approval
to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification, as well as the additional
conditions listed below:
1. The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all other specific and general conditions of this
Certification are met. No other impacts, including incidental impacts, are approved:

2. Appropriate sediment and erosion control measures. which equal or exceed those outlined in the most
recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual or the
North Carolina Surface Mining Manual (available from the Division of Land Resources at NCDENR
regional offices or the central office), whichever is more appropriate, shall be designed, installed and
maintained properly to assure compliance at all times with the North Carolina water quality standards
that are applicable to Class C waters as described in 15A NCAC 02B.0211 Fresh Surface Water Quality
Standards For Class C Waters. Such measures must equal or exceed the requirements specified in the
most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. These measures must
be maintained on all construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) sites, including contractor
owned and leased borrow pits, which are associated with this project.
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 measures in wetlands or waters is
unavoidable, they shall be removed and the natural grade restored within six months of the date that the
project is completed or, if applicable, within six months of the date that the project is released by the
North Carolina Division of Land Resources.
4. No waste, spoils, 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.
5. The culvert required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profile is
not altered (i.e. the depth of the channel must not be reduced by a widening of the streambed). Existing
stream dimensions (including the pattern and profile) are to be maintained above and below the location
of the culvert. The culvert shall be designed and installed to prevent head cutting of the stream. If the
culvert becomes perched, the appropriate stream grade shall be re-established or, if the culvert is
installed in a perched manner, the culvert shall be removed and re-installed correctly. The Applicant
must submit a plan and receive written approval from this Office to address any head cutting that will
occur as a result of this project (e.g., use of cross vanes downstream of the culvert).
6. Where riprap is required for energy dissipation and scour protection, it shall be limited to the minimum
dimensions specified by appropriate engineering calculations. Riprap may only be used below the
normal high water level. The original grade and elevation of the stream's cross-section must be
maintained. Riprap placed in the stream bottom must be inserted into the bottom matrix to a depth
sufficient to provide the thickness of riprap required for scour protection. The elevation of the stream
bottom must not be increased by the placement of riprap. Placement of riprap must not result in
destabilization of the streambed or banks upstream or downstream of any crossing.
All construction activities associated with this project shall minimize built-upon surface area, direct
stormwater runoff away from surface waters, and incorporate best management practices to minimize
water quality impacts. If concrete is used with any fill material, it shall not be allowed to come in
contact with surface waters until it has cured. If any stormwater must be collected for discharge into a
stream channel, it shall not enter the stream as a point source, but shall be slowed and discharged as
sheet flow prior to entering the riparian buffer on either side of the stream.
Mr. Paul Williams
Page 3, DWQ# 06-0391
r March 27, 2006
Upon finishing the project, the Applicant shall fill out and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been completed.
This certificate should be returned to the Wetlands/401 Certification Unit of the NC Division of Water
Quality at the address listed on the form. Along with the Certificate of Completion, please send
photographs upstream and downstream of the culvert site to document correct installation.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You
must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition
which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative
Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This certification and its conditions are final
and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act.
If you have any questions, please telephone Daryl Lamb in the DWQ Winston-Salem Regional Office at 336-
771-4959 or Ian McMillan in the Wetlands/401 Central Office in Raleigh at 919-715-4631.

See attached letter from proiect desi er Gupton & Associates. P.A.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater-wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
Updated 11/1/2005
Page 9 of 12
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and. type of proposed impact and function and relative. value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
hLtp://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/stringide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
None proposed. Proposed impacts are believed to result in minimal adverse effects to the
aquatic environment.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
[phone] to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For
additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP
website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/vvm/index.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please

Re: Stream crossing of Miller Creek in Meadowfield Development, Davidson County, N.C.
The Meadowfield Development consists of approximately 250 homes of various housing
types, located on a 142 acre site in Northern Davidson County. The development was
designed with the cluster concept to have minimum impact on streams and wetlands; in fact
this is the only stream crossing on the entire site. The only existing access to a portion of the
property was via a "creek ford"; therefore we had no alternatives for a viable access. We
conducted test drilling adjacent to the creek to determine the feasibility of a pre-cast arch
bridge or bottomless arch pipe and found that bed rock was too deep for these to be feasible.
Based on the above information, we determined that the best structure for this situation is a
poured in place triple barrel concrete culvert. We have aligned our roadway such that the
crossing is approximately perpendicular to the stream and would only impact approximately
130E feet of stream channel.
We herewith request that you file the required notifications and/or permit applications with
NCDENR and USACE for the subject stream crossing.

Ecological Resources Report
A Field Inventory to Confirm or Refute the Presence of
Waters of the U.S, Wetlands and Rare and Protected Species
Candidate Site:
Property of
P.M. Development LLC
Friedburg Church Road
Davidson County, NC
October 29, 2004
;I NQwV%A ---
Report Submitted by EcoLogic Associates, PC
Principal Investigator: Kenneth A. Bridle, Ph.D.
Ecological Resources Report - Friedburg Church Road Site
Introduction: This investigation was requested by Gupton & Associates PA in order to
determine if jurisdictional wetlands, surface waters or rare and endangered species are
located within the limits of a proposed residential development site.
Site Location: The site is located in northern Davidson County, just south of the Forsyth
County line. The site is on the west side of Friedburg Church Road, about '/s mile north
of the intersection of Frye Bridge Road. The southern portion of the project borders
Fryes Creek. Miller Creek bisects the project. The western portion of the property
borders Muddy Creek. All these creeks have sewer lines running along the creek on the
side of the proposed development.
Investigative Methodology: The site described above was surveyed on two occasions in
September and October, 2004 by Kenneth A. Bridle Ph.D., Principal Biologist. A
systematic walk of the perimeter of the site was taken, followed by walking several
transects across the site and into small valleys, drainageways and low spots.
Investigation of the soils, plant cover, land use, and hydrology of the area was conducted.
Significant features were flagged in the field, and GPS locations were obtained with a
hand-held, recreational grade unit (accuracy = S to 10 meters).
Site characteristics were observed and recorded to confirm or refute the presence of
jurisdictional wetlands and locate and classify jurisdictional waters (streams). The
wetland identification and delineation methodologies employed are based on the 1987
"Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual". A soil probe was available to
examine the substrate to determine the presence or absence of hydric soils and subsurface
moisture within 24 inches of the surface.
Analysis of the land use and natural community characteristics were used to determine
the potential for listed rare or threatened species of terrestrial plants and animals. Since
there is no proposed direct impact to the creeks, an aquatic species survey was not
conducted.
Investigator Qualifications: Kenneth A Bridle, Ph.D. earned a BS in Botany from Ohio
University and MS and Ph.D. in Biology from Wake Forest University. He has 20 years
of plant science research experience in both the public and private sectors. He has 10
years of experience conducting natural heritage inventories for the State and local land
trusts. He is therefore familiar with the rare species of plants and animals found in the
Piedmont region of North Carolina, including the site in question. He has also conducted
wetland research, identifications and delineations and is the author of a recently
published NRCS wetland restoration manual.
Site Description: The site is part of an old farm in a neighborhood that consists of active
farms and residential development. Several portions of the proposed development are in
currently managed hay fields and older fallow fields. Some portions of the proposed
development are covered with a thick, early successional growth of trees on what was a
field of row crops roughly five years ago.
October 29, 2004 1 Ecologic Associates, P.C.
Ecological Resources Report - Friedburg Church Road Site
There is a section of the site that contains a mature forest. This is located on the steep
bluffs on the south side of Miller Creek. The forest has a mixture of large red oaks,
hickories and tulip trees scattered along the hillside, with large American beech trees
along the bottom of the slopes. At the bottom of the slope, on the Miller Creek
floodplain, is a prior converted wetland that has been ditched and drained and at one time
was used for row crops and animal grazing. Across Miller Creek is a gently sloping
finger of land that has all the signs of being an old field. The attached photo shows these
as fields on both sides of the creek in 1996.
Findings on Waters of the United States: Waters of the U.S. include both surface
waters and wetlands. There are no flowing perennial or other creeks evident within the
boundaries of proposed residential development. Miller Creek bisects the project site and
will be crossed by the main road. The presence of remnant, marginal hydric soils and
hydrophilic vegetation on the south side of the Miller Creek floodplain suggests that this
area was once a hardwood forest wetland prior to its draining and conversion. There are
only a few small wetland pockets within this area, none of which will be impacted by the
proposed development according to the plan provided.
Findings on Rare and Protected Species: The North Carolina Natural Heritage
Program identifies four federally listed and 18 state listed species in Davidson County.
These include both plants and animals, some very notable like the Bald Eagle and some
inconspicuous like the Schwienitz's sunflower. Within the Welcome Quadrangle where
the site occurs, NCNHP records indicate no federally listed species and no state listed
species. The Bog Turtle is listed as a potential species in this quadrangle, based on
historic range, but has never been reported from this area.
No evidence of the listed terrestrial plant species was found, nor was any suitable habitat
identified within the bounds of the proposed development site.
Conclusions and Recommendations: There are no rare species present on the site, nor
habitat for them, that would be compromised by the proposed use of the site as a
residential development. There are also no intermittent or perennial creeks or wetlands
within the proposed development areas of the project.
The only impact will be the bridge or fill spanning Miller Creek. Careful planning should
be done to minimize the impact and the attendant permitting requirements. The Miller
Creek floodplain, which is shown as an undeveloped common area, offers potential for
wetland restoration since it appears to be a prior converted wetland. Removing the
ditches that currently drain the floodplain and allowing runoff from non-impervious
surfaces to increase site wetness might hydrologically enhance this feature. The
possibility for mitigation credit from such a restoration exists.

VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
Updated 11/1/2005
Page 9 of 12
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource Will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed.- Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for thisproject, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical . Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
None proposed. Proposed impacts are believed to result in minimal adverse effects to the
aquatic environment.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
[phone] to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For

Re: Stream crossing of Miller Creek in Meadowfield Development, Davidson County, N.C.
-The Meadowfield Development consists of approximately 250 homes of various housing
types, located on a 142 acre site in Northern Davidson County. The development was
designed with the cluster concept to have minimum impact on streams and wetlands; in fact
this is the only stream crossing on the entire site. The only existing access to a portion of the
property was via a "creek ford"; therefore we had no alternatives for a viable access. We
conducted test drilling adjacent to the creek to determine the feasibility of a pre-cast arch
bridge or bottomless arch pipe and found that bed rock was too deep for these to be feasible.
Based on the above information, we determined that the best structure for this -situation is a
poured in place triple barrel concrete culvert. We have aligned our roadway such that the
crossing is approximately perpendicular to the stream and would only impact approximately
130± feet of stream channel.
We herewith request that you file the required notifications and/or permit applications with
NCDENR and USACE for the subject stream crossing.

Ecological Resources Report
A Field Inventory to Confirm or Refute the Presence of
Waters of the U.S, Wetlands and Rare and Protected Species
Candidate Site:
Property of
P.M. Development LLC
Friedburg Church Road
Davidson County, NC
October 29, 2004

Report Submitted by EcoLogic Associates, PC
Principal Investigator: Kenneth A. Bridle, Ph.D.
Ecological Resources Report - Friedburg Church Road Site
Introduction: This investigation was requested by Gupton & Associates P.A. in order to
determine if jurisdictional wetlands, surface waters or rare and endangered species are
located within the limits of a proposed residential development site.
Site Location: The site is located in northern Davidson County, just south of the Forsyth
County line. The site is on the west side of Friedburg Church Road, about '/Z mile north
of the intersection of Frye Bridge Road. The southern portion of the project borders
Fryes Creek. Miller Creek bisects the project. The western portion of the property
borders Muddy Creek. All these creeks have sewer lines running along the creek on the
side of the proposed development.
Investigative Methodology: The site described above was surveyed on two occasions in
September and October, 2004 by Kenneth A. Bridle Ph.D., Principal Biologist. A
systematic walk of the perimeter of the site was taken, followed by walking several
transects across the site and into small valleys, drainageways and low spots.
Investigation of the soils, plant cover, land use, and hydrology of the area was conducted.
Significant features were flagged in the field, and GPS locations, were obtained with a
hand-held, recreational grade unit (accuracy = 5 to 10 meters).
Site characteristics were observed and recorded to confirm or refute the presence of
jurisdictional wetlands and locate and classify jurisdictional waters (streams). The
wetland identification and delineation methodologies employed are based on the 1987
"Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual". A soil probe was available to
examine the substrate to determine the presence or absence of hydric soils and subsurface
moisture within 24 inches of the surface.
Analysis of the land use and natural community characteristics were used to determine
the potential for listed rare or threatened species of terrestrial plants and animals. Since
there is no proposed direct impact to the creeks, an aquatic species survey was not
conducted.
Investigator Qualifications: Kenneth A. Bridle, Ph.D. earned a BS in Botany from Ohio
University and MS and Ph.D. in Biology from Wake Forest University. He has 20 years
of plant science research experience in both the public and private sectors. He has 10
years of experience conducting natural heritage inventories for the State and local land
trusts. He is therefore familiar with the rare species of plants and animals found in the
Piedmont region of North Carolina, including the site in question. He has also conducted
wetland research, identifications and delineations and is the author of a recently
published NRCS wetland restoration manual.
Site Description: The site is part of an old farm in a neighborhood that consists of active
farms and residential development. Several portions of the proposed development are in
currently managed hay fields and older fallow fields. Some portions of the proposed
development are covered with a thick, early successional growth of trees on what was a
field of row crops roughly five years ago.

Ecological Resources Report - Friedburg Church Road Site
There is a section of the site that contains a mature forest. This is located on the steep
bluffs on the south side of Miller Creek. The forest has a mixture of large red oaks,
hickories and tulip trees scattered along the hillside, with large American beech trees
along the bottom of the slopes. At the bottom of the slope, on the Miller Creek
floodplain, is a prior converted wetland that has been ditched and drained and at one time
was used for row crops and animal grazing. Across Miller Creek is a gently sloping
finger of land that has all the signs of being an old field. The attached photo shows these
as fields on both sides of the creek in 1996.
Findings on Waters of the United States: Waters of the U.S. include both surface
waters and wetlands. There are no flowing perennial or other creeks evident within the
boundaries of proposed residential development. Miller Creek bisects the project site and
will be crossed by the main road. The presence of remnant, marginal hydric soils and
hydrophilic vegetation on the south side of the Miller Creek floodplain suggests that this
area was once a hardwood forest wetland prior to its draining and conversion. There are
only a few small wetland pockets within this area, none of which will be impacted by the
proposed development according to the plan provided.
Findings on Rare and Protected Species: The North Carolina Natural Heritage
Program identifies four federally listed and 18 state listed species in Davidson County.
These include both plants and animals, some very notable like the Bald Eagle and some
inconspicuous like the Schwienitz's sunflower. Within the Welcome Quadrangle where
the site occurs, NCNHP records indicate no federally listed species and no state listed
species. The Bog Turtle is listed as a potential species in this quadrangle, based on
historic range, but has never been reported from this area.
No evidence of the listed terrestrial plant species was found, nor was any suitable habitat
identified within the bounds of the proposed development site.
Conclusions and Recommendations: There are no rare species present on the site, nor
habitat for them, that would be compromised by the proposed use of the site as a
residential development. There are also no intermittent or perennial creeks or wetlands
within the proposed development areas of the project.
The only impact will be the bridge or fill spanning Miller Creek. Careful planning should
be done to minimize the impact and the attendant permitting requirements. The Miller
Creek floodplain, which is shown as an undeveloped common area, offers potential for
wetland restoration since it appears to be a prior converted wetland. Removing the
ditches that currently drain the floodplain and allowing runoff from non-impervious
surfaces to increase site wetness might hydrologically enhance this feature. The
possibility for mitigation credit from such a restoration exists.
