APPROVAL of 401 Water C~uality Certification and Neuse River Buffer Rules with Additional Conditions
Dear Ms. Blackmon:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill in 0.14 acre of wetlands, to
temporarily excavate 0.05 acre of wetlands, to place fill in 165.0 feet (20.0 feet temporary) of unnamed intermittent
tributaries associated with the Neuse River, and to impact 0.26 acre (11,222 square feet) of Neuse Buffers in order to
construct the Glen Laurel subdivision, Phase 126 in Johnston County, as described in your application received by the
Division of Water Quality on October 29, 2001, and in additional correspondence received December 18, 2001. After
reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Numbers 3288
and 3287, which can be downloaded from our web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands .This Certification allows
you to use Nationwide Permit Numbers 12 and 39 when issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This approval is also
valid for the Neuse River Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233). In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local
permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) 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 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. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, 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. 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. 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 .
2. An additional condition is that stormwater shall be directed to diffuse flow at non-erosive velocities through the protected
stream buffers.
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 conforming to Chapter
1508 of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-
7447. 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 Steve Mitchell in our Raleigh Regional Office at 919-571-4700 or Cyndi Karoly at
919-733-9721.
