Approval of 401 Water Quality Certification and Authorization Certificate per the Neuse River
Buffer Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B.0233) with Additional Conditions
Dear Sir or Madam:
You have our approval, iri accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill
within or otherwise impact 0.02 acres of wetland, 118 linear feet of perennial stream and 4,093 square
feet (ft) of protected Zone 1 Neuse River basin riparian buffer and 3,000 square feet (ft) of protected
Zone 2 Neuse River basin riparian buffer for the purpose of constructing a residential subdivision at the
subject property, as described within your application dated March 8, 2006 and received by the N.C.
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on March 9, 2006. After reviewing your application, we have decided
that the impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification Number(s) 3402 (GC3402). The
Certification(s) allows you to use Nationwide Permit(s) 39 (NW39) when issued by the US Army Corps
of Engineers (USACE). This letter shall also act as your approved Authorization Certificate for impacts
to the protected riparian buffers per 15A NCAC 213 .0233. 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, and Non-discharge 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 LAMA 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 2H.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. No Waste, Spoil, Solids, or Fill of Any Kind
No waste, spoil, 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.
3. 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.
4. 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;
5. 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 15A NCAC
2B .0233 and GC 3404;
6. Diffuse Flow (No Review)
All constructed stormwater conveyance outlets shall be directed and maintained as diffuse flow at
non-erosive velocities through the protected stream buffers such that it will not re-concentrate
before discharging into a stream as identified within 15A NCAC 213 .0233 (5). If this is not
possible, it may be necessary to provide stormwater facilities that are considered to remove
nitrogen. This may require additional approval from this Office.

7. 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
disequilibrium 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.
Installation of culverts in wetlands must ensure continuity of water movement and be designed
to adequately accommodate high water or flood conditions.
Upon completion of the project, the Applicant shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" form to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been
completed. The responsible party shall complete the attached form and return it to the
401/Wetlands Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality upon completion of the project. Please
send photographs upstream and downstream of each culvert site to document correct installation
along with the Certificate of Completion form.
8. Deed Notifications - Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all retained
jurisdictional wetlands, waters and protective buffers in order to assure compliance for future
wetland, water and buffer impact. These mechanisms shall be put in place prior to impacting any
wetlands, waters and/or buffers approved for impact under this Certification Approval and
Authorization Certificate. A sample deed notification can be downloaded from the 401/Wetlands Unit
web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. The text of the sample deed notification may be
modified as appropriate to suit to this project;

was designed to impact the buffer and wetlands only once at the proposed crossing The
roadway crossing was designed to allow a perpendicular impact Sediment traps will be placed
outside of the buffer and wetlands and they will be clearly marked to avoid unnecessary impacts
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.
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
http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.

LEVEL SPREADER OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT
The level spreader is defined as an elongated, level threshold, designed to diffuse stormwater runoff.
Maintenance activities shall be performed as follows:
1. After construction and until vegetation has been established, level spreader(s) shall be inspected after
every rainfall. Thereafter, level spreader(s) shall be inspected at /east every month and more
frequently during the fall season and after heavy rainfall events:
a. Accumulated sediment, leaves, and trash shall be removed, and repairs made if required.
b. Inspect level spreader(s) for evidence of scour, undercutting, settlement of the structure, and
concentrated flows downhill from the level spreader(s).
c. A level elevation shall be maintained across the entire flow-spreading structure at all times.
Repair or replace the level spreader if it is damaged.
d. Mow vegetative cover to a height of six (6) inches and prune plants if they cover over half of the
level spreader surface.
e. Repair eroded areas and replace/replant dead or damaged vegetation.
2. The contractor should avoid the placement of any material on and prevent construction traffic across
the structure. If the measure is damaged by construction traffic, it shall be repaired immediately.
3. Inspect and repair the collection system (e.g., catch basins, pipes, swales, riprap) four (4) times a year
to maintain proper functioning.
I acknowledge and agree by my signature below that I am responsible for the performance of the maintenance
procedures listed above. I agree to notify DWQ of any problems with the system or prior to any changes to
the system or responsible party. ??nn

was designed to impact the buffer and wetlands only once at the proposed crossing The
roadway crossing was designed to allow a perpendicular impact Sediment traps will be laced
outside of the buffer and wetlands and they will be clearly marked to avoid unnecessary impacts
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.
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
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/newetlands/strmp,ide.html.
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.
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

LEVEL SPREADER OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT
The level spreader is defined as an elongated, level threshold, designed to diffuse stormwater runoff.
Maintenance activities shall be performed as follows:
1. After construction and until vegetation has been established, level spreader(s) shall be inspected after
every rainfall. Thereafter, level spreader(s) shall be inspected at least every month and more
frequently during the fall season and after heavy rainfall events:
a. Accumulated sediment, leaves, and trash shall be removed, and repairs made if required.
b. Inspect level spreader(s) for evidence of scour, undercutting, settlement of the structure, and
concentrated flows downhill from the level spreader(s).
c. A level elevation shall be maintained across the entire flow-spreading structure at all times.
Repair or replace the level spreader if it is damaged.
d, Mow vegetative cover to a height of six (6) inches and prune plants if they cover over half of the
level spreader surface.
e. Repair eroded areas and replace/replant dead or damaged vegetation.
2. The contractor should avoid the placement of any material on and prevent construction traffic across
the structure. If the measure is damaged by construction traffic, it shall be repaired immediately.
3. Inspect and repair the collection system (e.g., catch basins, pipes, swales, riprap) four (4) times a year
to maintain proper functioning.
I acknowledge and agree by my signature below that I am responsible for the performance of the maintenance
procedures listed above. I agree to notify DWQ of any problems with the system or prior to any changes to
the system or responsible party.
