Hi Bill,
I am in receipt of the Fast Track application for the Mills River Health and Rehabilitation project. As
noted in my Fast Track Application Return letter dated January 24,2013,the High Vista Falls system is
non-compliant with its non-discharge permit#WQ0015929 and has to be built as a discharge system
under NPDES permit#NC0089095 before I can issue a permit for the sewer extension.
An Authorization to Construct(A to C)was recently issued on February 18, 2013 for the construction of
modifications to the High Vista Falls facility. As you know A to C do not have a timelines for
completion.
Given the non-compliance issues with the High Vista Falls system,the approval of additional flows will
not occur until construction of the modifications are completed.
I need you to withdraw this application and I will return this package to you. Once the modifications are
complete you can resubmit the application.
Please respond to this email with a request to withdraw this application and resubmit at a later date.
I have been unsuccessful in reaching you by phone, but feel free to contact me directly if you wish to
discuss this further, Linda

total wetland fills for this project(now or in the future)exceed one acre, or if total impacts to streams(now
or in the future) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506
(h) (6) and (7). For this approval to be valid,you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any
additional conditions listed below.
Condition(s)of Certification:
1. There shall be no excavation from, or waste disposal into,jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this permit
without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites, or access roads to waste or borrow sites, be located
in wetlands or streams, compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction
activities.
2. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters unless otherwise approved by this
Certification.
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 Caroline:
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. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
4. This project has the potential to impact trout waters or other aquatic species of concern. No construction
activities shall begin until the NCWRC makes a determination regarding moratoria. Should the NCWRC
determine that a moratorium is applicable, then the requirements of any moratorium shall be a condition of
this 401 Certification. If the Federal Highway Administration does not wish to honor the moratorium, then a
written modification shall be requested.
5. For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout(Tr),High
Quality Waters(HQW),or Water Supply I or II(WSI, WSII)stormwater shall be directed to vegetated buffer areas,
grass-lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pre-treating storm water runoff prior to
discharging directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffers is strongly discouraged.
6. Strict adherence to the most recent version of NCDOT's Best Management Practices For Bridge Demolition and
Removal approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers is a condition of the 401 Water Quality Certification.
7. Unless otherwise approved in this certification,placement of culverts and other structures in open waters and
streams shall 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 f _,
structures. The applicant is required to provide evidence that the equilibrium is being maintained if requested
in writing by NCDWQ. If this condition is unable to be met due to bedrock or other limiting features
encountered during construction, please contact NCDWQ for guidance on how to proceed and to determine
whether or not a permit modification will be required.

8. If multiple pipes or barrels are required, they shall be designed to mimic natural stream cross section as closely as
possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where appropriate. Widening the stream
channel should be avoided. Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases water
velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and disrupts aquatic life passage.
9. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP measures from the
most current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities manual such as sandbags, rock berms,
cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent excavation in flowing water.
10. The stream channel shall be excavated no deeper than the natural bed material of the stream, to the maximum extent
practicable. Efforts must be made to minimize impacts to the stream banks, as well as to vegetation responsible for
maintaining stream bank stability. Any applicable riparian buffer impact for access to stream channel shall be
temporary and be revegetated with native riparian species.
11. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream, above and below the crossing, shall not be modified. Disturbed
floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
12. Native riparian vegetation(e.g. rhododendron, dog hobble, willows, alders, sycamores, dogwoods, black walnut and
red maple) must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season
following completion of construction.
13. The use of rip-rap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any rip-rap placed for stream
stabilization shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage.
14. Rip-rap shall not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes aquatic
life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed,sized and installed.
15. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channels in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream.
16. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels,lubricants,hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
17. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
18. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
prohibited.
19. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact between curing
concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to surface
waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills.
20. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel except where authorized by this
certification.
21. A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be maintained on the construction site at all times. In addition, the
Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the Division Engineer
and the on-site project manager.
22. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.
23. During the construction of the project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of the U.S., or
protected riparian buffers.
24. The outside buffer,wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor approved by this authorization
shall be clearly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities. Impacts to areas within the
fencing are prohibited unless otherwise authorized by this certification.
25. The permittee and its authorized agents shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with State water quality
standards (including any requirements resulting from compliance with §303(d)of the Clean Water Act)and any other
appropriate requirements of State and Federal law. If NCDWQ determines that such standards or laws are not being
met(including the failure to sustain a designated or achieved use)or that State of Federal law is being violated, or that
further conditions are necessary to assure compliance,NCDWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification.

Mr.I B. Setzer,P.E.

26. The issuance of this certification does not exempt the Permittee form complying with any and all statutes, rules,
regulations or ordinances that may be imposed by other government agencies (i.e. local, state, and federal) having
jurisdiction, including but not limited to applicable buffer rules, stonnwater management rules, soil erosion and
sedimentation control requirements, etc.
27. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of
discovery.
28. Upon completion of the project (including any impacts at associated borrow or waste sites), the NCDOT Division
Engineer shall complete and return the enclosed "Certification of Completion Form" to notify NCDWQ when all
work included in the §401 Certification has been completed.
Violations of any condition herein set forth may result in revocation of this Certification and may result in criminal and/or
civil penalties. This Certification shall become null and void unless the above conditions are made conditions of the
Federal 404 and/or Coastal Area Management Act Permit. This Certification shall expire upon the expiration of the 404
or CAMA permit.
If this Certification is unacceptable to you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within sixty(60)
days following receipt of this Certification. This request must be in the form of a written petition conforming to Chapter
150B of the North Carolina General Statutes and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service
Center,Raleigh,N.C. 27699-6714. If modifications are made to an original Certification,you have the right to an
adjudicatory hearing on the modifications upon written request within sixty(60)days following receipt of the
Certification. Unless such demands are made,this Certification shall be final and binding.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you have

be given a copy of this 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,or if total impacts to streams(now
or in the future) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506
(h) (6) and (7). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any
additional conditions listed below.
Condition(s)of Certification:
1. There shall be no excavation from, or waste disposal into,jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this permit
without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites, or access roads to waste or borrow sites, be located
in wetlands or streams, compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction
activities.
2. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters unless otherwise approved by this
Certification.
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. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
4. Strict adherence to the most recent version of NCDOT's Best Management Practices For Bridge Demolition and
Removal approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers is a condition of the 401 Water Quality Certification.
5. Unless otherwise approved in this certification, placement of culverts and other structures in open waters and
streams shall 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 is being maintained if requested
in writing by NCDWQ. If this condition is unable to be met due to bedrock or other limiting features
encountered during construction, please contact NCDWQ for guidance on how to proceed and to determine
whether or not a permit modification will be required.
6. If multiple pipes or barrels are required, they shall be designed to mimic natural stream cross section as closely as
possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where appropriate. Widening the stream
channel should be avoided. Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases water
velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and disrupts aquatic life passage.
7. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP measures from the
most current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities manual such as sandbags, rock berms,
cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent excavation in flowing water.

ir.J.B. Setzer,P.E.
March 7,2013

8. The stream channel shall be excavated no deeper than the natural bed material of the stream, to the maximum extent
practicable. Efforts must be made to minimize impacts to the stream banks, as well as to vegetation responsible for
maintaining stream bank stability. Any applicable riparian buffer impact for access to stream channel shall be
temporary and be revegetated with native riparian species.
9. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream, above and below the crossing, shall not be modified. Disturbed
floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
10. Native riparian vegetation (e.g. rhododendron, dog hobble, willows, alders, sycamores, dogwoods, black walnut and
red maple) must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season
following completion of construction.
11. The use of rip-rap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any rip-rap placed for stream
stabilization shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage.
12. Rip-rap shall not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes aquatic
life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed, sized and installed.
13. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channels in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream.
14. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels,lubricants,hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
15. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
16. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
prohibited.
17. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact between curing
concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to surface
waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills.
18. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel except where authorized by this
certification.
19. A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be maintained on the construction site at all times. In addition, the
Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the Division Engineer
and the on-site project manager.
20. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.
21. During the construction of the project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of the U.S., or
protected riparian buffers.
22. The outside buffer,wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor approved by this authorization
shall be clearly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities. Impacts to areas within the
fencing are prohibited unless otherwise authorized by this certification.
23. The permittee and its authorized agents shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with State water quality
standards (including any requirements resulting from compliance with §303(d)of the Clean Water Act)and any other
appropriate requirements of State and Federal law. If NCDWQ determines that such standards or laws are not being
met(including the failure to sustain a designated or achieved use)or that State of Federal law is being violated, or that
further conditions are necessary to assure compliance,NCDWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification.
24. The issuance of this certification does not exempt the Permittee form complying with any and all statutes, rules,
regulations or ordinances that may be imposed by other government agencies (i.e. local, state, and federal) having
jurisdiction, including but not limited to applicable buffer rules, stormwater management rules, soil erosion and
sedimentation control requirements,etc.
25. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of
discovery.

be given a copy of this 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, or if total impacts to streams(now
or in the future) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506
(h) (6) and (7). For this approval to he valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any
additional conditions listed below.
Condition(s)of Certification:
1. There shall be no excavation from,or waste disposal into,jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this permit
without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites, or access roads to waste or borrow sites, be located
in wetlands or streams, compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction
activities.
2. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters unless otherwise approved by this
Certification.
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 bF
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. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
4. This project has the potential to impact trout waters or other aquatic species of concern. No construction
activities shall begin until the NCWRC makes a determination regarding moratoria. Should the NCWRC
determine that a moratorium is applicable, then the requirements of any moratorium shall be a condition of
this 401 Certification. If the Federal Highway Administration does not wish to honor the moratorium,then a
written modification shall be requested.
5. For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout(Tr),High
Quality Waters(HQW), or Water Supply I or II(WSI, WSII)stormwater shall be directed to vegetated buffer areas,
grass-lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site for the purpose of pre-treating storm water runoff prior to
discharging directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffers is strongly discouraged.
6. All channel relocations will be constructed in a dry work area and shall be completed and stabilized and approved on
site by NCDWQ staff,prior to diverting water into the new channel. Stream banks shall be matted with coir-fiber
matting. Vegetation used for bank stabilization shall be limited to native riparian vegetation and should include
establishment of a vegetated buffer on both sides of the relocated channel to the maximum extent practical. Also,rip-
rap may be allowed if it is necessary to maintain the physical integrity of the stream,but the applicant must provide
written justification and any calculations used to determine the extent of rip-rap coverage requested. Once the stream
has been turned into the new channel,it may be necessary to relocate stranded fish to the new channel to prevent fish ! ',
kills.
7. Strict adherence to the most recent version of NCDOT's Best Management Practices For Bridge Demolition and
Removal approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers is a condition of the 401 Water Quality Certification.

8. Unless otherwise approved in this certification, placement of culverts and other structures in open waters and
streams shall 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 is being maintained if requested
in writing by NCDWQ. If this condition is unable to be met due to bedrock or other limiting features
encountered during construction, please contact NCDWQ for guidance on how to proceed and to determine
whether or not a permit modification will be required.
9. If multiple pipes or barrels are required, they shall be designed to mimic natural stream cross section as closely as
possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where appropriate. Widening the stream
channel should be avoided. Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases water
velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and disrupts aquatic life passage.
10. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP measures from the
most current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities manual such as sandbags, rock berms,
cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent excavation in flowing water.
11. The stream channel shall be excavated no deeper than the natural bed material of the stream, to the maximum extent
practicable. Efforts must be made to minimize impacts to the stream banks, as well as to vegetation responsible for
maintaining.stream bank stability. Any applicable riparian buffer impact for access to stream channel shall be
temporary and be revegetated with native riparian species.
12. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream, above and below the crossing, shall not be modified. Disturbed
floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
13. Native riparian vegetation (e.g. rhododendron, dog hobble, willows, alders, sycamores, dogwoods, black walnut and
red maple) must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season
following completion of construction.
14. The use of rip-rap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any rip-rap placed for stream
stabilization shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage.
15. Rip-rap shall not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes aquatic
life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed,sized and installed.
16. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channels in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream.
17. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants,hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
18. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
19. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
prohibited.
20. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact between curing
concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to surface
waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills.
21. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel except where authorized by this
certification.
22. A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be maintained on the construction site at all times. In addition, the
Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the Division Engineer
and the on-site project manager.
23. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.
24. During the construction of the project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of the U.S., or
protected riparian buffers.

Mr.J. B. Setzer,P.E.
March 8,2013
Page Four
25. The outside buffer,wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor approved by this authorization
shall be clearly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities. Impacts to areas within the
fencing are prohibited unless otherwise authorized by this certification.
26. The permittee and its authorized agents shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with State water quality
standards(including any requirements resulting from compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act)and any other
appropriate requirements of State and Federal law. If NCDWQ determines that such standards or laws are not being
met(including the failure to sustain a designated or achieved use) or that State of Federal law is being violated, or that
further conditions are necessary to assure compliance,NCDWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification.
27. The issuance of this certification does not exempt the Permittee form complying with any and all statutes, rules,
regulations or ordinances that may be imposed by other government agencies (i.e. local, state, and federal) having
jurisdiction, including but not limited to applicable buffer rules, stormwater management rules, soil erosion and
sedimentation control requirements, etc.
28. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of
discovery.
29. Upon completion of the project (including any impacts at associated borrow or waste sites), the NCDOT Division
Engineer shall complete and return the enclosed "Certification of Completion Form" to notify NCDWQ when all
work included in the §401 Certification has been completed.

Dear Mr. Wei Lin:
This letter was sent on January 29, 2013 as a follow-up response to the First Annual Monitoring
Baseline Report submitted to our office on January 15, 2013 concerning a Notice of Violation
(NOV) dated February 1, 2011 at Hubbell Distribution, Inc. in Arden,North Carolina.
The Asheville Regional Office has reviewed the submitted report and would like a plan of action
as to how the following will be addressed:
• As the initial downstream project was performed to address a perched culvert situation
which limited, or prohibited, aquatic life passage, how will structures 4 and 5 be dealt with
such that these are not aquatic life passage barriers?
• Structure 6 has lateral instability, resulting in a channel that is unstable. How will this
structure be dealt with which will result in a stable channel pattern?
• Structure 5 has been hydraulically bypassed. How will this be dealt with which results in a
stable channel pattern?
No information has been provided to our office concerning the items listed above. Please provide
a plan for addressing and re-evaluating these structures and items by the deadline date of March
29,2013.

in wetlands or streams, compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction
activities.
2. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters unless otherwise approved by this
Certification.
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. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
4. This project has the potential to impact trout waters or other aquatic species of concern. ,No construction
activities shall begin until the NCWRC makes a determination regarding moratoria. Should the NCWRC
determine that a moratorium is applicable, then the requirements of any moratorium shall be a condition of
this 401 Certification. If the Federal Highway Administration does not wish to honor the moratorium, then a
written modification shall be requested.
5. The permittee shall use/Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds/[15A NCAC 4B.0124(a)-(e)] in areas draining to
(trout)waters. However, due to the size of the project,NC DOT shall not be required to meet 15A NCAC 4B
.0124(a)regarding the maximum amount of uncovered acres. Temporary cover(wheat,millet, or similar annual
grain)or permanent herbaceous cover shall be planted on all bare soil within 15 business days of ground disturbing
activities to provide erosion control.
Tall fescue shall not be used in the establishment of temporary or permanent groundcover within riparian areas. For
the establishment of permanent herbaceous cover, erosion control matting shall be used in conjunction with an
appropriate native seed mix on disturbed soils within the riparian area and on disturbed steep slopes with the
following exception. Erosion control matting is not necessary if the area is contained by perimeter erosion control
devices such as silt fence,temporary sediment ditches,basins,etc. Matting should be secured in place with staples,
stakes, or wherever possible, live stakes of native trees. Erosion control matting placed in riparian areas shall not
contain a nylon mesh grid,which can impinge and entrap small animals. For the establishment of temporary
groundcover within riparian areas,hydroseeding along with wood or cellulose based hydro mulch applied from a
fertilizer-and limestone-free tank is allowable at the appropriate rate in conjunction with the erosion control
measures. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and wood or cellulose mulch into surface waters in prohibited. Riparian
areas are defined as a distance 25 feet landward from top of stream bank.

6. Strict adherence to the most recent version of NCDOT's Best Management Practices For Bridge Demolition and
Removal approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers is a condition of the 401 Water Quality Certification.
7. Unless otherwise approved in this certification, placement of culverts and other structures in open waters and
streams shall 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 is being maintained if requested
in writing by NCDWQ. If this condition is unable to be met due to bedrock or other limiting features
encountered during construction, please contact NCDWQ for guidance on how to proceed and to determine
whether or not a permit modification will be required.
8. If multiple pipes or barrels are required, they shall be designed to mimic natural stream cross section as closely as
possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where appropriate. Widening the stream
channel should be avoided. Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases water
velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and disrupts aquatic life passage.
9. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP measures from the
most current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities manual such as sandbags, rock berms,
cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent excavation in flowing water.
10. The stream channel shall be excavated no deeper than the natural bed material of the stream,.to the maximum extent
practicable. Efforts must be made to minimize impacts to the stream banks, as well as to vegetation responsible for
maintaining stream bank stability. Any applicable riparian buffer impact for access to stream channel shall be
temporary and be revegetated with native riparian species.
11. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream, above and below the crossing, shall not be modified. Disturbed
floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
12. Native riparian vegetation (e.g. rhododendron, dog hobble, willows, alders, sycamores, dogwoods, black walnut and
red maple) must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season
following completion of construction.
13. The use of rip-rap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any rip-rap placed for stream
stabilization shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage.
14. Rip-rap shall not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes aquatic
life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed,sized and installed.
15. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channels in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream.
16. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants,hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
17. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
18. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
prohibited.
19. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact between curing
concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to surface
waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills.
20. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel except where authorized by this
certification.
21. A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be maintained on the construction site at all times. In addition, the
Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the Division Engineer
and the on-site project manager.
22. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.

23. During the construction of the project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of the U.S., or
protected riparian buffers.
24. The outside buffer,wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor approved by this authorization
shall be clearly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities. Impacts to areas within the
fencing are prohibited unless otherwise authorized by this certification.
25. The permittee and its authorized agents shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with State water quality
standards (including any requirements resulting from compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act)and any other
appropriate requirements of State and Federal law. If NCDWQ determines that such standards or laws are not being
met(including the failure to sustain a designated or achieved use)or that State of Federal law is being violated, or that
further conditions are necessary to assure compliance,NCDWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification.
26. The issuance of this certification does not exempt the Permittee form complying with any and all statutes, rules,
regulations or ordinances that may be imposed by other government agencies (i.e. local, state, and federal) having
jurisdiction, including but not limited to applicable buffer rules, stormwater management rules, soil erosion and
sedimentation control requirements, etc.
27. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of
discovery.
28. Upon completion of the project (including any impacts at associated borrow or waste sites), the NCDOT Division
Engineer shall complete and return the enclosed "Certification of Completion Form" to notify NCDWQ when all
work included in the §401 Certification has been completed.
Violations of any condition herein set forth may result in revocation of this Certification and may result in criminal and/or'
civil penalties. This Certification shall become null and void unless the above conditions are made conditions of the
Federal 404 and/or Coastal Area Management Act Permit. This Certification shall expire upon the expiration of the 404
or CAMA permit.
If this Certification is unacceptable to you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within sixty(60)
days following receipt of this Certification. This request must be in the form of a written petition conforming to Chapter
150B of the North Carolina General Statutes and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service

This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations and/or

September 2012 are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that the Town of Rosman violated the

Pursuant to G.S. 143-21 5.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or
to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over
which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)

occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative
hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved,the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will
provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal
of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very
important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for
remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed"Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing,and Stipulation of Facts"form
within thirty(30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that
you complete and submit the enclosed"Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should
be submitted to the following address:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617

Hearings. You must file the petition with the Office of Administrative Hearings within thirty (30)
days of receipt of this notice. A petition is considered filed when it is received in the Office of

Failure to exercise one of the options above within thirty(30) days of receipt of this letter, as
evidenced by an internal date/time received stamp (not a postmark), will result in this matter being
referred to the Attorney General's Office for collection of the penalty through a civil action. Please

$1,500.00 TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
$137.00 Enforcement Costs
$1,637.00 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
2 82.1(b),which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or
to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over
which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice,you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the
attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative
hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please
prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved,the following factors shall be
considered:

(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will
provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal
of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very
important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for
remission.
In order to request remission,you must complete and submit the enclosed"Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing,and Stipulation of Facts"form
within thirty(30)days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that

Dear Mr. Benson:
The Division of Water Quality has completed the review of your 401 Water Quality Certification application
associated with the subject project listed above.
Approval has been granted to place fill within or otherwise impact 40 linear feet of stream for the purpose of
impoundment expansion at the subject property. This approval requires you to follow the conditions listed in
the attached Certification and any additional conditions listed below.
Project impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3890. This Certification allows
you to use Nationwide Permit 29 when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers(USACE). Authorization to
proceed with your proposed impacts or to conduct impacts to waters as depicted in your application and as
authorized by this Certification shall expire upon expiration of the corresponding USACE Permit Verification.
In addition,you should obtain or otherwise comply with any other required federal, state or local permits before
you proceed with your project including (but not limited to)Erosion and Sediment Control and Trout Buffer
regulations.
This approval is for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you change your project,
you must notify us and may be required to submit a new application.
Impacts Approved
The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all of the other specific and general conditions of
this Certification are met. No other impacts are approved including incidental impacts:

Violations of any condition herein set forth may result in revocation of this Certification and may result in
criminal and/or civil penalties.
Additional Conditions
1. Sensitive Watershed Erosion and Sediment Control Practices
The Division of Land Resources' Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds(15A NCAC 04B .0124)
must be adhered to throughout the life of this project.
2. Turbidity Standard
The turbidity standard of 10 NTUs (Nephelometric Turbidity Units) shall not be exceeded as described in 15
A NCAC 213. .0200. Appropriate sediment and erosion control practices must be used to meet this standard.
3. Normal base outflow(during summer to fall)from the dam must be drawn from near the pond bottom with
the proposed siphon system or comparably functioning device to reduce the stream warming that the pond
causes. The new pond outlet must draw primary outflow from near the pond bottom.
Typical pond riser bottom outlet
To maintain cool outflow and good water quality, a sleeved standpipe should be used to draw outflow water
from near the bottom of the pond. The easiest way to accomplish a near-bottom outflow is to place a larger
pipe (i.e. shroud or sleeve) over the standpipe so that water flows up through the bottom of the larger pipe
and then down through the outlet(riser)pipe(see inset and page 6 of
httu://www.ncwildlife.org/pg03 Fishin /images/PONDMANS PDF).
i
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this Certification(associated with the approved wetland or stream
impacts),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.

be given a copy of this 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, or if total impacts to streams(now
or in the future) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506
(h) (6) and (7). For this approval to be valid, you must fallow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any
additional conditions listed below.
Condition(s)of Certification:
1. There shall be no excavation from, or waste disposal into,jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this permit
without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites, or access roads to waste or borrow sites, be located
in wetlands or streams, compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction
activities.
2. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters unless otherwise approved by this
Certification.
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 Carolir"
Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrd�'__ '
sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the
project.
c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
4. This project has the potential to impact trout waters. No construction activities shall begin until the NCWRC makes a
determination regarding moratoria. Should the NCWRC determine that a moratorium is applicable,then the
requirements of any moratorium shall be a condition of this 401 Certification. If NCDOT does not wish to honor the
moratorium,then a written modification shall be requested.
5. The permittee shall use/Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds/[15A NCAC 4B.0124(a)-(e)] in areas draining to
(trout)waters.However,due to the size of the project,NC DOT shall not be required to meet 15A NCAC 4B .0124(a)
regarding the maximum amount of uncovered acres. Temporary cover(wheat,millet,or similar annual grain)or
permanent herbaceous cover shall be planted on all bare soil within 15 business days of ground disturbing activities to
provide erosion control.
Tall fescue shall not be used in the establishment of temporary or permanent groundcover within riparian areas. For
the establishment of permanent herbaceous cover,erosion control matting shall be used in conjunction with an
appropriate native seed mix on disturbed soils within the riparian area and on disturbed steep slopes with the
following exception. Erosion control matting is not necessary if the area is contained by perimeter erosion control
devices such as silt fence,temporary sediment ditches,basins,etc. Matting should be secured in place with staples,
stakes, or wherever possible,live stakes of native trees. Erosion control matting placed in riparian areas shall not
contain a nylon mesh grid,which can impinge and entrap small animals. For the establishment of temporary
groundcover within riparian areas,hydroseeding along with wood or cellulose based hydro mulch applied from a
fertilizer-and limestone-free tank is allowable at the appropriate rate in conjunction with the erosion control
measures. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and wood or cellulose mulch into surface waters in prohibited. Riparian
areas are defined as a distance 25 feet landward from top of stream bank.

6. Strict adherence to the most recent version of NCDOT's Best Management Practices For Bridge Demolition and
Removal approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers is a condition of the 401 Water Quality Certification.
7. The post-construction removal of any temporary bridge structures must return the project site to its preconstruction
contours and elevations. The impacted areas shall be revegetated with appropriate native species.
8. Bridge deck drains shall not discharge directly into the stream. Stormwater shall be directed across the bridge and
pre-treated through site-appropriate means(grassed swales,pre-formed scour holes,vegetated buffers,etc.)before
entering the stream. Please refer to the most current version of Stormwater Best Management Practices.
9. Bridge piles and bents shall be constructed using driven piles(hammer or vibratory)or drilled shaft construction
methods. More specifically,jetting or other methods of pile driving are prohibited without prior written approval
from NCDWQ first.
10. No drill slurry or water that has been in contact with uncured concrete shall be allowed to enter surface waters. This
water shall be captured,treated, and disposed of properly.
11. All pile driving or drilling activities shall be enclosed in turbidity curtains unless otherwise approved by NCDWQ in
this certification.
12. All bridge construction shall be performed from the existing bridge,temporary work bridges,temporary causeways,
or floating or sunken barges. If work conditions require barges,they shall be floated into position and then sunk. The
barges shall not be sunk and then dragged into position. Under no circumstances should barges be dragged along the
bottom of the surface water.
13. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP measures from the
most current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities manual such as sandbags, rock berms,
cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent excavation in flowing water.
14. The stream channel shall be excavated no deeper than the natural bed material of the stream,to the maximum extent
practicable. Efforts must be made to minimize impacts to the stream banks, as well as to vegetation responsible for
maintaining stream bank stability. Any applicable riparian buffer impact for access to stream channel shall be
temporary and be revegetated with native riparian species.
15. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream, above and below the crossing, shall not be modified. Disturbed
floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
16. Native riparian vegetation (e.g. rhododendron, dog hobble, willows, alders, sycamores, dogwoods, black walnut and
red maple) must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season
following completion of construction.
17. The use of rip-rap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any rip-rap placed for stream
stabilization shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage.
18. Rip-rap shall not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes aquatic
life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed,sized and installed.
19. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channels in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream.
20. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels,lubricants,hydraulic fluids,or other toxic materials.
21. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
22. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
prohibited.
23. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact between curing
concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to surface
waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills.
24. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel except where authorized by this
certification.
-'25. A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be maintained on the construction site at all times. In addition, the
Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the Division Engineer
and the on-site project manager.

2 82.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State,to the public health, or
to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;

Within thirty days of receipt of this notice,you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department,of Environment and Natural

Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617

2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification
for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s)
occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty
assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative=
hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please

prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be
remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved,the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b)
was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will
provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal
of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that
was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very
important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for
remission.
In order to request remission,you must complete and submit the enclosed"Request for Remission
of Civil Penalties,Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts"form
within thirty(30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that

Dear Mr. Jones and Mrs. Masta:
The Division of Water Quality(DWQ)has performed a preliminary review of a 401 Water Quality Certification
application submitted for the above referenced property. Additional information will be required in order to
complete the review process.
Please provide the following information so that we may continue to review your project.
Additional Information Requested:
1. Application Item A. 3. Owner Information requests information related to the ownership of
the properties within the project area. A North Carolina Secretary of State website search reveals
that Michelle Masta is the president of both Black Bear Paving&Construction, Inc. and Skyros
Investments, Inc. Please provide explanation as to how these properties are utilized and
managed. (collective impacts)
2. Application Item B. 3c.requests the amount of all existing streams on the project properties.
The submitted plan appears only to depict the stream length between the terminal end of the
Skyros Investments, Inc. culvert, and the beginning of the Trinity Roofing Supply, LLC culvert.
Please provide the length of all streams within the Black Bear Paving& Construction,Inc. and
the Skyros Investments, Inc. property boundaries, including streams currently within culverts.

Additionally, please submit the approximate date of installation for the existing culvert on the
Skyros Investments, Inc. property.
3. Application Item D. 1. Avoidance and Minimization requests that you describe what measures
you have taken to minimize or avoid impacts to surface waters with this project. Please provide
an alternatives analysis depicting the options considered in the planning of this project and your
rational for the option chosen. For example:
• Using the Skyros Investments, Inc. property as access to the proposed gravel parking area
• The use of significantly shorter culverts sufficient for vehicular access at either end of the
Black Bear Paving and Construction, Inc. property to create a"circular"point of access
• The possibility of shifting the parking lot rearward on the property to minimize or avoid
impacts.
Please note that in Application Item D. 1. b. that a discussion of stormwater measures is not
considered a discussion of Avoidance and Minimization.
4. Application Item E. 2. Stormwater Management Plan requests the percentage of overall
imperviousness resultant from this project. Gravel roadways and parking surfaces are considered
impervious for these purposes. Please refer to the attached Pre-Construction(PCN)Form
Instructions for guidance on this section of the application. It does appear that a stormwater
management plan will need to be prepared and submitted to the Division of Water Quality for
approval should the impervious surfaces calculation provide results in excess of the stormwater
management threshold.
Please provide your response in writing to the addresses below prior to close of business on April 8, 2013. Four
copies of the required information should be provided to the Wetlands, Buffers, Stormwater Compliance and
Permitting Unit at:

Dear Mr. Hood & Mitchell:
On March 20th Division of Water Quality staff inspected an UT to Greasy Creek and the adjacent upland bank
at the properties referenced above. Staff observed land disturbing activities, debris near the creek and some
historic fill in the referenced water body. This inspection was conducted in response to a complaint from the
Caldwell County Emergency Management Department.
Please be aware that any land disturbing activates or dumping of debris in or near the creek that violate North
Carolina Water Quality Standards are subject to notice of violations and civil penalties. The use of appropriate
best management practices (BMPs) and proper disposal of potentially hazardous materials will minimize your
risk of violating Water Quality Standards. Violations are subject to civil penalty assessments of up to
$25,000.00 per day for each violation.
Placing fill below the ordinary high water mark is a regulated activity; you must procure the proper permit/s
prior to placing any fill in waters of the United States. Tasha McCormick is the US Army Corps of Engineers

This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified below). Should
your project change,you must notify the DWQ and submit 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 wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, or if total impacts to streams (now or in the
future) exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h)(6) and
(7). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional
conditions listed below.
Condition(s)of Certification:
1. There shall be no excavation from, or waste disposal into,jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this permit
without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites, or access roads to waste or borrow sites, be located
in wetlands or streams, compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction
activities.
2. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters unless otherwise approved by this
Certification. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall
be removed and the natural grade restored upon completion of the project.
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, an
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. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
4. Unless otherwise approved in this certification, placement of culverts and other structures in open waters and streams
shall 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 is being maintained if requested in writing by NCDWQ. If this condition is unable to be
met due to bedrock or other limiting features encountered during construction, please contact NCDWQ for guidance
on how to proceed and to determine whether or not a permit modification will be required.
5. If multiple pipes or barrels are required,they shall be designed to mimic natural stream cross section as closely as
possible including pipes or barrels at flood plain elevation and/or sills where appropriate. Widening the stream
channel should be avoided. Stream channel widening at the inlet or outlet end of structures typically decreases water
velocity causing sediment deposition that requires increased maintenance and disrupts aquatic life passage.

1v1r.J.B. Setzer,P.E.
March 26,2013
Page Three
6. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP measures from the
most current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities manual such as sandbags, rock berms,
cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent excavation in flowing water.
7. The stream channel shall be excavated no deeper than the natural bed material of the stream, to the maximum extent
practicable. Efforts must be made to minimize impacts to the stream banks, as well as to vegetation responsible for
maintaining stream bank stability. Any applicable riparian buffer impact for access to stream channel shall be
temporary and be revegetated with native riparian species.
8. The dimension, pattern and profile of the stream, above and below the crossing,shall not be modified. Disturbed
floodplains and streams shall be restored to natural geomorphic conditions.
9. Native riparian vegetation (e.g. rhododendron, dog hobble, willows, alders, sycamores, dogwoods, black walnut and
red maple) must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season
following completion of construction.
10. The use of rip-rap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any rip-rap placed for stream
stabilization shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage.
11. Rip-rap shall not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes aquatic
life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed, sized and installed.
12. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channels in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream.
13. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants,hydraulic fluids, or other toxic materials.
- 14. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
15.Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
prohibited.
16. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact between curing
concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to surface
waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills.
17. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
certification.
18. A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be maintained on the construction site at all times. In addition, the
Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the Division Engineer
and the on-site project manager.
19. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.
20. During the construction of the project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of the U.S., or
protected riparian buffers
21. The outside buffer,wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor approved by this authorization
shall be clearly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities. Impacts to areas within the
fencing are prohibited unless otherwise authorized by this certification.
22. The permittee and its authorized agents shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with State water quality
standards(including any requirements resulting from compliance with §303(d)of the Clean Water Act)and any other
appropriate requirements of State and Federal law. If NCDWQ determines that such standards or laws are not being
met(including the failure to sustain a designated or achieved use)or that State of Federal law is being violated,or that
further conditions are necessary to assure compliance,NCDWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification.
23. The issuance of this certification does not exempt the Permittee form complying with any and all statutes, rules,
regulations or ordinances that may be imposed by other government agencies (i.e. local, state, and federal) having
jurisdiction, including but not limited to applicable buffer rules, stormwater management rules, soil erosion and
sedimentation control requirements,etc.

This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified below). Should
your project change,you must notify the DWQ and submit 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 wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, or if total impacts to streams (now or in the
future)exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506 (h)(6) and
(7). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional
conditions listed below.
Condition(s)of Certification:
1. There shall be no excavation from, or waste disposal into,jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this permit
without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites, or access roads to waste or borrow sites, be located
in wetlands or streams, compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction
activities.
2. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters unless otherwise approved by this
Certification. If placement of sediment and erosion control devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable,they shall
be removed and the natural grade restored upon completion of the project.
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, anc
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. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
4. NCDOT will need to adhere to all appropriate in-water work moratoria prescribed by the NC Wildlife
Resources Commission.
5. Compensatory mitigation for impacts 278 linear feet of streams at a replacement ratio of 1:1 is required.
Compensatory mitigation for impacts to jurisdictional streams shall be provided by onsite stream relocations
of 278 linear feet of an unnamed tributary of Thompson Creek. The onsite stream relocation shall be
constructed in accordance with the design submitted in your May 3, 2011 application. All on-site mitigation
sites shall be protected in perpetuity by a conservation easement or through NCDOT fee simple acquisition
and recorded in the NCDOT Natural Environment Unit mitigation geodatabase. Please be reminded that as-
builts for the completed streams shall be submitted to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality 401
Wetlands Unit with the as-builts for the rest of the project. If the parameters of this condition are not met,
then the permittee shall supply additional stream mitigation for the 278 linear feet of impacts. All channel
relocations will be constructed in a dry work area,will be completed and stabilized, and must be approved on
site by DWQ staff, prior to diverting water into the new channel. Whenever possible, channel relocations
shall be allowed to stabilize for an entire growing season. All stream relocations shall have a 50-foot wide
native wooded buffer planted on both sides of the stream unless otherwise authorized by this Certification. A
transitional phase incorporating rolled erosion control product (RECP) and appropriate temporary ground
cover is allowable.

6. Unless otherwise approved in this certification, placement of culverts and other structures in open waters and
streams shall 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 is being maintained if requested
in writing by NCDWQ. If this condition is unable to be met due to bedrock or other limiting features
encountered during construction,please contact NCDWQ for guidance on how to proceed and to determine
whether or not a permit modification will be required.
7. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP measures from the
most current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities manual such as sandbags, rock berms,
cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent excavation in flowing water.
8. Channel relocations shall be completed and stabilized, and approved on-site by DWQ staff, prior to diverting water
into the new channel. Stream banks shall be mated with coir-fiber matting. Vegetations used for bank stabilization
shall be limited to native riparian vegetation, and should include establishment of a vegetated buffer on both sides of
the relocated channel to the maximum extent practical. Also rip-rap may be allowed if necessary to maintain the
physical integrity of the stream, but the applicant must provide written justification and any calculations used to
determine the extent of rip-rap coverage requested. Once the stream has been turned into the new channel, it may be
necessary to relocate stranded fish to the new channel to prevent fish kills.
9. Native riparian vegetation (e.g. rhododendron, dog hobble, willows, alders, sycamores, dogwoods, black walnut and
red maple) must be reestablished within the construction limits of the project by the end of the growing season
following completion of construction.
10. The use of rip-rap above the Normal High Water Mark shall be minimized. Any rip-rap placed for stream
stabilization shall be placed in stream channels in such a manner that it does not impede aquatic life passage.
11. Rip-rap shall not be placed in the active thalweg channel or placed in the streambed in a manner that precludes aquatic
life passage. Bioengineering boulders or structures should be properly designed,sized and installed.
12. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channels in order to minimize
sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream.
13. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters must be regularly inspected and maintained to prevent
contamination of stream waters from fuels, lubricants,hydraulic fluids,or other toxic materials.
14. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
15. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
prohibited.
16. If concrete is used during construction, a dry work area shall be maintained to prevent direct contact between curing
concrete and stream water. Water that inadvertently contacts uncured concrete shall not be discharged to surface
waters due to the potential for elevated pH and possible aquatic life and fish kills.
17. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
certification.
18. A copy of this Water Quality Certification shall be maintained on the construction site at all times. In addition, the
Water Quality Certification and all subsequent modifications, if any, shall be maintained with the Division Engineer
and the on-site project manager.
19. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification. -
20. During the construction of the project, no staging of equipment of any kind is permitted in waters of the U.S., or
protected riparian buffers.

21. The outside buffer,wetland or water boundary located within the construction corridor approved by this authorization
shall be clearly marked by highly visible fencing prior to any land disturbing activities. Impacts to areas within the
fencing are prohibited unless otherwise authorized by this certification.
22. The permittee and its authorized agents shall conduct its activities in a manner consistent with State water quality
standards (including any requirements resulting from compliance with §303(d) of the Clean Water Act) and any other
appropriate requirements of State and Federal law. If NCDWQ determines that such standards or laws are not being
met(including the failure to sustain a designated or achieved use)or that State of Federal law is being violated, or that
further conditions are necessary to assure compliance,NCDWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification.
23. The issuance of this certification does not exempt the Permittee form complying with any and all statutes, rules,
regulations or ordinances that may be imposed by other government agencies (i.e. local, state, and federal) having
jurisdiction, including but not limited to applicable buffer rules, stormwater management rules, soil erosion and
sedimentation control requirements, etc.
24. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of
discovery.
25. Upon completion of the project (including any impacts at associated borrow or waste sites), the NCDOT Division
Engineer shall complete and return the enclosed "Certification of Completion Form" to notify NCDWQ when all
work included in the §401 Certification has been completed.
Violations of any condition herein set forth may result in revocation of this Certification and may result in criminal and/or
civil penalties. This Certification shall become null and void unless the above conditions are made conditions of the.
Federal 404 and/or Coastal Area Management Act Permit. This Certification shall expire upon the expiration of the 404 l'
or CAMA permit. ------

Dear Sirs and Madams:
The Division of Water Quality has received correspondence from Foothills Soil Consulting,PLLC,dated March 21,2013,
in response to the NOV noted above. The proposal includes the removal of sediment from an unnamed tributary to
Hunting Creek. The proposal divides the stream into zones one through four. Zones two and three,as described in the
plan,will be the focus of the sediment mitigation efforts. Additionally,the plan states that a backhoe will be used to
remove sediment and re-establish the stream channel in zone two and to a limited extent in zone three. Please note that
the backhoe should be operated from the stream bank and is not permitted in the stream channel The use of hand tools,
rather than a backhoe,is encouraged where practicable.
The remedial actions presented in the response have been found satisfactory and are approved.
Activities involved in this approved plan, as well as submittal of the final report,are to be completed within thirty(30)
days of this approval letter. Please contact me at(828)296-4500 or [e-mail] should you have any

• As the initial downstream project was performed to address a perched culvert situation
which limited, or prohibited, aquatic life passage,how will structures 4 and 5 be dealt with
such that these are not aquatic life-passage barriers?
• Structure 6 has lateral instability, resulting in a channel that is unstable. How will this
structure be dealt with which will result in a stable channel pattern?
• Structure 5 has been hydraulically bypassed. How will this be dealt with which results in a
stable channel pattern?

The project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated March 13, 2013 (received March 21, 2013),
including the environmental commitments made in the application letter. After reviewing your application, we have
decided that these impacts are covered by General Water Quality Certification Nos. 3891 and 3893 corresponding to the
U.S.Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit Numbers 23 and 33. In addition,you should acquire any other federal,
state or local permits before you proceed with your project including (but not limited to Sediment and Erosion Control,
Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations.
This approval is valid solely for the purpose and design described in your application (unless modified below). Should
your project change,you must notify the DWQ and submit 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 wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, or if total impacts to streams (now or in the
future)exceed 150 linear feet, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H.0506(h)(6) and
(7). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any additional
conditions listed below.
Condition(s)of Certification:
1. There shall be no excavation from, or waste disposal into,jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this permit
without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites, or access roads to waste or borrow sites, be located
in wetlands or streams, compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction
activities.
2. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters unless otherwise approved by this
Certification.
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. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
4. Strict adherence to the most recent version of NCDOT's Best Management Practices For Bridge Demolition and
Removal approved by the US Army Corps of Engineers is a condition of the 401 Water Quality Certification.
5. The post-construction removal of any temporary bridge structures must return the project site to its preconstruction
contours and elevations. The impacted areas shall be revegetated with appropriate native species.
6. Bridge deck drains shall not discharge directly into the stream. Stormwater shall be directed across the bridge and
pre-treated through site-appropriate means(grassed swales,pre-formed scour holes,vegetated buffers,etc.)before
entering the stream. Please refer to the most current version of Stormwater Best Management Practices.
7. Bridge piles and bents shall be constructed using driven piles(hammer or vibratory)or drilled shaft construction
methods. More specifically,jetting or other methods of pile driving are prohibited without prior written approval
from NCDWQ first.

8. No drill slurry or water that has been in contact with uncured concrete shall be allowed to enter surface waters. This
water shall be captured,treated,and disposed of properly.
9. All pile driving or drilling activities shall be enclosed in turbidity curtains unless otherwise approved by NCDWQ in
i
this certification.
10. All bridge construction shall be performed from the existing bridge,temporary work bridges,temporary causeways,
or floating or sunken barges. If work conditions require barges,they shall be floated into position and then sunk. The
barges shall not be sunk and then dragged into position. Under no circumstances should barges be dragged along the
bottom of the surface water.
11. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP measures from the
most current version of NCDOT Construction and Maintenance Activities manual such as sandbags, rock berms,

(h) (6) and (7). For this approval to he valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification and any
additional conditions listed below.
Condition(s)of Certification:
1. There shall be no excavation from, or waste disposal into,jurisdictional wetlands or waters associated with this permit
without appropriate modification. Should waste or borrow sites, or access roads to waste or borrow sites, be located
in wetlands or streams, compensatory mitigation will be required since that is a direct impact from road construction
activities.
2. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters unless otherwise approved by this
Certification.
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. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the reclamation in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
4. This project has the potential to impact trout waters or other aquatic species of concern. No construction activities
shall begin until the NCWRC makes a determination regarding moratoria. Should the NCWRC determine that a
moratorium is applicable,then the requirements of any moratorium shall be a condition of this 401 Certification. If
NCDOT does not wish to honor the moratorium,then a written modification shall be requested.
5. The permittee shall use/Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds/ [15A NCAC 4B.0124(a)-(e)] in areas draining to
trout waters. However, due to the size of the project,NCDOT shall not be required to meet 15A NCAC 4B .0124(a)
regarding the maximum amount of uncovered acres. Temporary cover(wheat,millet,or similar annual grain)or
permanent herbaceous cover shall be planted on all bare soil within 15 business days of ground disturbing activities to
provide erosion control.
Tall fescue shall not be used in the establishment of temporary or permanent groundcover within riparian areas. For
the establishment of permanent herbaceous cover, erosion control matting shall be used in conjunction with an
appropriate native seed mix on disturbed soils within the riparian area and on disturbed steep slopes with the
following exception. Erosion control matting is not necessary if the area is contained by perimeter erosion control
devices such as silt fence,temporary sediment ditches,basins,etc. Matting should be secured in place with staples,
stakes,or wherever possible, live stakes of native trees. Erosion control matting placed in riparian areas shall not
contain a nylon mesh grid,which can impinge and entrap small animals. For the establishment of temporary
groundcover within riparian areas,hydroseeding along with wood or cellulose based hydro mulch applied from a
fertilizer-and limestone-free tank is allowable at the appropriate rate in conjunction with the erosion control
measures. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and wood or cellulose mulch into surface waters in prohibited. Riparian
areas are defined as a distance 25 feet landward from top of stream bank.
