APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Jacobus:
Alan W. Klimek, P.E. Director
Division of Water Quality
October 16, 2006
DWQ# 06-1541
Mecklenburg County
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact
365 linear feet (If) (85 If, perennial) of an unnamed tributary to McDowell Creek in order to develop the above
mentioned tract in Mecklenburg County, as described in your application received by the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) on September 21, 2006. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this project
is covered by Water Quality General Certification Number 3402, which can be viewed on our web site at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. The General Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number
39 once it is issued to you by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Please note that you should get any other
federal, state or local permits before proceeding with your project, including those required by (but not limited
to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge, and Water Supply Watershed regulations.
The above noted Certification will expire when the associated 404 permit expires unless otherwise
specified in the General Certification. This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you 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.
In addition to the requirements of the certification, you must also comply with the following conditions:
The Mooresville Regional Office shall be notified in writing once construction at the approved impact areas
has commenced.
2. The base flow stream channel shall be maintained (reconstructed) immediately above and below the
proposed stream crossings. This may be accomplished through the construction of flood plain benches or
similar measures. These measures must be approved, in writing, by this office prior to construction.
3. Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all lots with remaining jurisdictional wetlands and
waters or areas within 50 feet of all streams and ponds on the property. These mechanisms shall be put in
place within 30 days of the date of this letter or the issuance of the 404 Permit (whichever is later). A sample
deed notification format can be downloaded from the 401/Wetlands Unit web site at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands.
4. All wetlands, streams, surface waters, and riparian buffers located on the project site where impacts are not
allowed shall be clearly marked (example- orange fabric fencing) prior to any land disturbing activit'
Not.

5. We understand that you have chosen to contribute to the Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) in order
to compensate for the impacts to the streams. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2R.0402 and 15A NCAC 28
.0242(7), this contribution will satisfy our compensatory mitigation requirements under 15A NCAC 2H
.0506(h) and 15A NCAC 2B .0233(10). Until the EEP receives and clears your check (made payable to:
DENR - Ecosystem Enhancement Program), the stream impacts shall not occur. The In-Lieu-Of-Fee
Coordinator should be contacted at [phone] if you have any questions concerning the EEP. You have
one month from the date of this Certification to make this payment. For accounting purposes, this
Certification authorizes the fill of 365 linear feet of perennial streams in the Catawba River Basin, (Cataloging
Unit 03050103); and 85 linear feet of stream mitigation is required. Please be aware that the EEP rules
require rounding of stream impacts to the nearest foot (15A NCAC 2R .0503(b)).
6. The planting of native vegetation and other soft stream bank stabilization techniques must be used where
practicable instead of riprap or other bank hardening methods. If riprap is necessary, it shall not be placed in
the streambed, unless approved by the DWQ.
7. Storm water discharge structures at this site shall be constructed in a manner such that the potential
receiving streams (of the discharge) will not be impacted due to sediment accumulations, scouring or erosion
of the stream banks.
8. A final written storm water management plan is required. The storm water facilities must be designed to
treat the runoff from the entire project, unless otherwise explicitly approved by the Division of Water Quality
or governing local authority.
9. No waste, spoils, solids, or fill of any kind shall be placed in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the
footprint of the impacts depicted in the Preconstruction Notification application. All construction activities
associated with this project shall meet, and/or exceed, those requirements specified in the most recent
version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual and shall be conducted so that no
violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur.
10. Sediment and erosion control devices 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 two months of the date the Division of Land
Resources has released the project.
11. Upon completion of the project, the applicant shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" form to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality. Please send photographs of
the upstream and downstream sides of each culvert site to document correct installation, along with the
Certificate of Completion form.
12. Continuing Compliance. The applicant (William Brewster Company) shall conduct all activities in a manner
so as not to contravene any state water quality standard (including any requirements for compliance with
section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act) and any other appropriate requirements of state and federal law. If
DWQ determines that such standards or laws are not being met (including the failure to sustain a designated
or achieved use) or that state or federal law is being violated, or that further conditions are necessary to
assure compliance, DWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification to include conditions appropriate to
assure compliance with such standards and requirements in accordance with 15 A NCAC 2H.0507(d).
Before codifying the certification, DWQ shall notify the applicant and the US Army Corps of Engineers,
provide public notice in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0503, and provide opportunity for public hearing in
accordance with 15A NCAC 21-1.0504. Any new or revised conditions shall be provided to the applicant in
writing, shall be provided to the United States Army Corps of Engineers for reference in any permit issued
pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, and shall also become conditions of the 404 Permit for the
project.
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 that
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 Mr. Alan Johnson in the Mooresville Regional Office at 704-663-
1699 or Ms. Cyndi Karoly in the Central Office in Raleigh 919-733-9721.

were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. Impacts on site have been
minimized to the maximum extent practicable. Only three crossings are needed to provide
access to the entire tract and one crossing has been mandated by Mecklenburg County. All
wetlands on the property have been avoided.
V111. 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.
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. l;xamples 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
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), atTected 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.
Intermittent Important stream impacts v,/ill be rrnitigated f=or onsitFe through the
preservation of all remaining streams on the property. Perennial Stream impacts will be

The attached Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) is being submitted on behalf of Mr. Frank
Jacobus of the William Brewster Company (WBC). The WBC currently owns approximately 195
acres near Huntersville, North Carolina and is seeking permit authorization under Nationwide Permit
39 for the development of a residential community and three associated road crossings. All
intermittent stream impacts will be mitigated for on site through the preservation of the remaining
streams on the property. Perennial stream impacts will be mitigated for through payment into the
NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program.
Should you have any questions regarding the attached PCN and supplemental information do not
hesitate to contact me at 828-713-1930.

access to the entire tract and one crossing has been mandated by Mecklenburg County. All
wetlands on the property have been avoided.
V111. 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.
USAGE - 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 USAGE 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
