Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Susan Wilson and Tim Fox(DWQ) met Deborah Durbin (ES&H), Patrick Owen, and Robert Willis (of Giles
Chemicals) on April 25, 2012. Giles Chemicals makes epsom salts for bulk and retail sales. Magnesium
oxide and sulfuric acid are shipped by truck or rail to be used in the process.
The facility discharges blowdown from the process. The facility is also tied-in to the Waynesville WWTP for
some process wastewater and domestic wastewater. Floor drains in the plant go to Waynesville. Per
Patrick Owen, air compressor condensate also goes to the municipal sewer system.
The facility has been monitoring for temperature and pH -as required (and has been in compliance). They
have not been monitoring for total residual chlorine as required (and this was discussed during the
inspection -they were not aware they had to). They expressed a desire to become certified for total
residual chlorine. After speaking with Gary Frances, Laboratory Certification, since the facility is not
"classified" due to the general permit status, and DMRs do not have to be submitted to DWQ, Giles will not
have to be certified for TRC (they plan to use their in-house instrument).
The non-contact cooling water inspection was prompted mainly due to the inspection for stormwater. The
facility is essentially compliant with this permit (with the exception of the TRC monitoring). No adverse
water quality impacts were noted at the facility during the time of inspection.
(See additional notes under Giles Chemical -site inspection).

Failure to Secure NPDES SW Permit
Inspection Summary:
Susan Wilson and Tim Fox(DWQ)met with Deborah Durbin, Patrick Owen,and Robert Willis(Giles Chemical Corp)to determine if
a stormwater permit is necessary.
DWQ reviewed the entire site and had some suggestions to reduce exposure. DWQ will continue to work with Giles Chemical to
determine the need for a stormwater permit. The facility makes epsom salts-this process does not fall under any SW General
permit. Should a SW permit be necessary-it would have to be an individual permit. Due to the limited exposure-DWQ/ARO does
not believe that an individual permit will be warranted. DWQ/ARO may require the facility to produce and implement a Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan.
The facility has some exposure loading/unloading materials at the RR track(however,there is no stormwater pathway for this to
leave the area unless the spill is extremely large). The facility also has some exposure at the filter cake conveyer belt over Richland
Creek. Giles is now getting bids to put a"catch guard"in place under the conveyer belt to prevent loss of filter cake.
There is also exposure at the sulfuric acid tanks(which have secondary containment). Their procedure is to take pH readings in the
basin, if neutral-pump out via sump pump to the storm drain. We discussed documenting this procedure each time it is done as
part of a SWPPP.

Polk County
Response deadline: May 14, 2012
Dear Mr. Oliver:
Information previously gathered by this office, and recently confirmed, indicates the treatment
facility serving the subject site is in violation of Permit NC0058581.
Failure to properly repair the effluent discharge pipe is a violation of Section C. Operation and
Maintenance of Pollution Controls of the permit.
Please respond to this office in writing by the response deadline noted above explaining how you
intend to return the facility to compliance with the permit. If conditions preclude repair of the
effluent line, therefore preventing discharge of effluent to surface waters of the State, rescission
or revocation of the permit will be required.
The Division understands the Association is investigating an alternative wastewater treatment
system through the Onsite Water Protection Branch of the Environmental Health Section of
DHHS for the discharge of its treated wastewater. The Division fully supports such an option and
will gladly assist with transition from the current NPDES permit to an onsite system.

Dear Messrs. Fortner, Bradley, and Vencill:
This letter is in follow-up to the NPDES Stormwater Permit Compliance Inspection conducted on
March 28, 2012. The facility was found to be in compliance with permit NCG020795. The
resources and efforts expended by Unimin have been beneficial.
The data collected by Unimin indicates the improvements that were made to the
stormwater/erosion control measures have successfully assisted the site with water quality stream
standard compliance. The continued maintenance of these control measures is not only a permit
requirement but will be necessary for the site to avoid further stream impacts.
The sediment removal restoration efforts were also successful. The remaining sediment can
naturally flush through the system. Stream impacts from the sediment load are still apparent in the
lack of the macro-invertebrate community (stonefly, mayfly), but should begin to show signs of
improvement over the next year if the site continues to avoid sediment and turbidity violations.
Enclosed is a copy of the Compliance Inspection Report, which contains additional observations
and comments for your reference.

Permit: NCG020795 Owner-Facility: Unimin Corporation
Inspection Date: 03/28/2012 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Follow-up
Inspection Summary:
This inspection was twofold; for a follow up visit to letter of noncompliance from 2011 and to discuss future plans to submit
a 404/401 application. Present during this inspection were the Corp of Engineers, Clearwater Consultants and Unimin
Representatives.
Regarding the follow up inspection to letter of noncompliance from 2011. The facility has made several improvements to
stormwater/erosion control measures. The data gathered indicates these improvements have helped with water quality
standards violations. The facility may resume analytical monitoring according to the NCG02 permit requirements.
The maintenance of the control measures will always be necessary. The NCG02 permit requires weekly inspection of the
stormwater/erosion control measures in order to stay on top of maintenance.
It is good practice to capture the stormwater suspended sediments closes to the source. Below are suggestions for
continued compliance:
1. Unimin should consider small traps further up in the mine, rather than relying on just the two basins.
2. The berm/ditch by the haul road adjacent to the first basin (SCW-2A)should be maintained constantly to assure that
the majority of the stormwater flow is going into the first basin.
3. The first basin (SCW-2A)is designed such that Unimin cannot clean the entire basin out. Unimin may want to
consider a redesign so the basin can be properly cleaned out.
Unnamed Tributary to Brushy Crk Impacts:
The sediment removal from the stream has been successfully completed. The remaining sediment load can naturally
flush through system. A cursory glance indicates the receiving stream below the mine still does not appear to have a
good population of benthos, but it should recover.
The lower reach of the stream at the West Mine is a future concern. Unimin plans to submit a 401 to impact the upper
reach of this stream in order to mine the minerals below the stream. The DWQ concern is how this will be accomplished _
without impacting the lower reach of the stream as well.

Inspection Summary:
Susan Wilson and Tim Fox(DWQ)performed at site inspection at Canton Hardwood Company on April 25,2012. Mr.
Jerry Powell guided us around the site.
There is evidence in the DWQ files that during the last inspection-the facility had the permit and applicable elements
(Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan). At the time of this inspection-they could not be located.
DWQ will continue to work with Mr. Powell to bring the site into compliance. We discussed the qualitative and analytical
monitoring, as well as the facility site inspection and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan.
As we discussed with Mr. Powell, at this time we will require Canton Hardwood to perform monitoring at the upstream
tributaries and at the downstream site at the end of the property. This should give a good indication of any impacts from
the site (as the stream runs through the property). Most of the drainage eventually goes to the tributary through the
property(that is the only stormwater pathway).
A copy of the NCG21 General permit,the Technical Bulletin, and monitoring forms will be sent out with this inspection
report.

Comment: At the time of the inspection, the SWPPP could not be located. However,
per Mr. Powell, they had recently moved offices -they believe they have it,just couldn't
locate it on the inspection day. DWQ does have some records from the inspection in
2006 that indicates they had a plan at that time (had a site plan, emergency contacts,
etc.)
DWQ will work with Canton Hardwood to ensure that they have an up to date
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (which includes site layout and monitoring points,
etc.)

Comment: Mr. Powell did not have a copy of the Certificate of Coverage or the permit
at the time of inspection (and ARO/DWQ does not have a copy in their files). DWQ will
ask Raleigh if there is an updated copy. Regardless, Canton Hardwood is still covered
under NCG210197 and must comply with this stormwater permit.
All potential outfalls were observed as we walked around the site.

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 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. Swain:
You have our approval, in accordance with the conditions listed below,for the following impacts in an unnamed tributary
of Richardson Branch for the purpose of widening and making improvements to NCSR 1121 (Rosemont Farm Road)in
Rutherford County:
Stream Impacts in the Broad River Basin

The project should be constructed in accordance with your application dated April 24, 2012 (received April 27, 2012),
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 No. 3886, corresponding to the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit Number 14. 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. 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, ai�
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. NCDOT will need to adhere to all appropriate in-water work moratoria(including the use of pile driving or vibration
techniques)prescribed by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission.

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.
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.

Mr. J.J. Swain,Jr.,P.E.
May 4, 2012

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.
26. 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
any questions,please telephone Mr. Mike Parker of the Asheville Regional Office at 828.296.4500.

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, and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Contro
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. NCDOT will need to adhere to all appropriate in-water work moratoria(including the use of pile driving or vibration
techniques)prescribed by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission.

J. J. Swain,Jr.,P.E.
,tay 8,2012

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. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. The Permittee shall ensure that the final design drawings adhere to the permit and to the permit drawings submitted
for approval.
17. Discharging hydroseed mixtures and washing out hydroseeders and other equipment in or adjacent to surface waters is
prohibited.
18. 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.
19. No rock, sand or other materials shall be dredged from the stream channel, except where authorized by this
certification.
20. 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.
21. All fill slopes located in jurisdictional wetlands shall be placed at slopes no flatter than 3:1, unless otherwise
authorized by this certification.
22. 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.
23. 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.

Mr.J.J. Swain,Jr.,P.E.
May 8, 2012

24. 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.
25. 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.
26. The Permittee shall report any violations of this certification to the Division of Water Quality within 24-hours of
discovery.
27. 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

Dear Mr. Mooney:
The Division has reviewed your application for a No Exposure Certification for Exclusion(NE) for the subject
facility. Based on the information provided and a site visit conducted on April 17, 2012,the NE has been approved.
Please note that you are obligated to maintain no-exposure conditions at your facility. If conditions change such
that your facility can no longer qualify for a NE, you are obligated to immediately obtain NPDES permit
coverage for your stormwater discharge. Otherwise,the discharge becomes subject to enforcement as an un-
permitted discharge. Your NE does not expire. In order to help assure that your facility stays in compliance
with all of the conditions in the Certification,you must self-recertify your facility at least annually. Unless
otherwise requested, you can maintain your annual re-certification on file at your facility. Please see the
attachment for information on self re-certification or visit the following website for guidance:
http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/ws/su/n,pdessw.
Site visit notes and recommendations:
During the site visit it was noted that there were items under tarps. These items were shelving and were
temporarily placed outside during construction activities but will not remain outside.
The facility is relatively new and was laid out with a good stormwater treatment system; including grass swales
flowing to two bio-retention(wetland) structures. These treatment systems will require maintenance for optimal
effectiveness. The following is a link to the Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual:
http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/ws/su/bmp-man . This manual is a design manual,but will assist you with
maintenance of your structures. Refer to Chapter 9 (9.5) for wetland structures maintenance and Chapter 14 (14.5)
for grass swale structures maintenance. One of your wetland structures had many cattails in it. Cattails are not to
be planted in wetlands because they will take over, and their root systems can clog an outlet structure. But their
seeds do migrate and invade wetlands so maintenance is required to keep them at bay. Wetlands function best with
a variety of plants; it is recommended that your cattails be limited especially in the vicinity of your outlet structure.

Dear Mr. Setzer:
The Asheville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality received your letter and Stormwater
Management Permit Application for the widening and paving of NCSR 1347,Foster Creek Road in Henderson
County on May 2, 2012. Based on our review of the submitted project details you do not appear to be proposing a
development activity at this site that would be subject to the stormwater requirements as provided for in Title 15A
NCAC 02H.1000. Because the classification of Foster Creek is WSII;Trout, HQW,these activities are subject to
Title 15A NCAC 02B .0104. Based on the application review,the proposed activities listed below,meet the
requirements of the Title 15A NCAC 02B .0104.
1. Sheet flow on grass shoulders along the roadway.
2. Matted and grassed roadway ditches.
3. Outlet protection with rip rap.
This exemption applies only to the State Stormwater Management Permit for the currently proposed
activity. If at any time in the future, development of any part of this site is planned, as defined in 15A NCAC
02H .1000, or if the proposed activities differ in any manner from what is shown on the plans on file with the

Subject: Notice of Violation for Discharging Concrete and Violating Water Quality Standards in an unnamed tributary
of East Prong Hunting Creek in Burke County,North Carolina.
Dear Mr. Swain:
On April 5, 2012, shortly after 8:00 am staff of the Asheville Regional Office's,NC Division of Water Quality,received a
report of the discharge of concrete contaminated water in an unnamed tributary of the East Prong of Hunting Creek from
Mr.Yates Allen,Environmental Specialist,NCDOT. This unnamed tributary of the East Prong of Hunting Creek is
classified as"WS-IV"waters of the State and is tributary to the Catawba River. Investigation by NC Division of Water
Quality staff found work being performed by Palmetto Gunite(a subcontractor for Dane Construction),working for the
NC Department of Transportation(NCDOT),had sprayed shotcrete on the inside of a 66-inch pipe on April 3,2012. That
66-inch pipe carries a small unnamed tributary under Interstate 40 to the East Prong of Hunting Creek. The pipe outlet is
located approximately 200 feet east of the Interstate 40 eastbound off ramp at exit 105. The investigation found that on
April 3,2012 the contractor had constructed a sand bag dam and was impounding the water of the unnamed tributary
while the shotcrete was sprayed inside the 66-inch pipe and allowed to dry. At approximately 5:00 pm on April 3,2012
the shotcrete application was completed. At approximately 6:30 pm the contractor informed the DOT inspector that the
shotcrete was dry and asked if they could remove the sand bag dam and release the water. As indicated in Mr.Bryan's
letter of April 12,2012,the inspector gave the contractor permission to remove the sand bag dam.
On April 4, 2012,Mr.Brian Skeens, Resident Engineer,NCDOT, observed some concrete residue in the unnamed
tributary to the East Prong of Hunting Creek,near the outlet of the 66-inch pipe. Mr. Skeens advised the contractor to
remove the concrete residue and contacted Mr. Yates Allen and requested that he conduct an assessment of the stream.
Mr.Allen arrived at the scene at approximately 2:00 pm. No fish kill was evident during the initial stream assessment.
At approximately 1:30 pm on April 5,2012,Mr. Mike Parker,Environmental Specialist,Division of Water Quality
arrived at the construction site and found Mr. Skeens and Mr.Allen walking the stream below the area of shotcrete
discharge. Mr.Allen and Mr. Parker found 4 chubs, 14 crayfish and 14 salamanders had been killed in the stream(on
both sides of Interstate 40)below the 66-inch culvert outlet.

Based on the investigation by the Division of Water Quality it is determined that water in the unnamed tributary to the
East Prong Hunting Creek was allowed to come into contact with uncured concrete. A small amount of gray colored
material,that appeared to be concrete,was observed on the bottom of unnamed tributary downstream of the 66-inch
culvert outlet. Four(4)fish,fourteen(14) crayfish and fourteen(14)salamanders were found dead in the unnamed
tributary below the outlet of the 66-inch culvert. No dead fish or wildlife was found in the East Prong of Hunting Creek.
The contact of surface water with the uncured shotcrete is a discharge of pollutants that resulted in the removal of best
usage of State waters. These are violations of the following North Carolina General Statutes and Administrative Code:
• NC General Statute 143-215.1 (a)(1)prohibits the discharge of pollutants to waters of the State without a
permit.
NCDOT did not have a permit on April 3, 2012 for discharge of pollutants resulting from the spraying of
concrete on a culvert conveying an unnamed tributary of the East Prong of Hunting Creek at Interstate 40.
• 15A NCAC 2B .0211 (2)-Removal of Best Usage: aquatic life propagation and maintenance of biological
integrity(including fishing and fish),wildlife, primary recreation, agricultural and any other usage except as a
source of water supply for drinking,culinary or food processing purposes.
The discharge of pollutants(concrete)into an unnamed tributary of the East Prong Hunting Creek rendered
the stream unsuitable for fish and other aquatic organisms to survive.
This office requires that the violations,as detailed above,be abated immediately. Please submit to the Asheville
Regional Office,in writing within 14 days of receipt of this letter,what actions were taken to clean up the
discharge,and what actions will be taken to prevent this from occurring in the future. These violations and any
future violations are subject to civil penalty assessment of up to$25,000.00 per day for each violation.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and the corrective measures that have been put in place to ensure that this type
of incident will not happen again. If you have any questions,please contact Mr.Mike Parker at 828-296-4500.

Horsehead Corporation—Rutherford County,NC Facility
DWQ Tracking Number: NOV-2012-PC-0153
Construction Stormwater Permit NCG010000
Stream Standard Violation- Other Waste (In-stream sediment)
Rutherford County
Response deadline: June 11,2012
Dear Mr. Hensler:
On April 19, 2012, Susan A. Wilson and Tim Fox, from the Asheville Regional Office of the
Division of Water Quality(DWQ), conducted a site inspection at Horsehead Corporation off US
Highway 221 S in Rutherford County,North Carolina. Ms. Carol Owens, Mr. Lance Davis, and
Mr. Jay Woodward were also present, and Mr. Woodward guided staff through the site.
Construction Stormwater Permit NCGO10000 and stream standard violations were noted during
the inspection and file review. Sediment impacts to an unnamed tributary to the Broad River, a
Class C stream in the Broad River Basin,were documented.
As a result of the site inspection and file review,the following violations were identified:
VIOLATIONS
I. Construction Stormwater Permit NCG010000 - A Construction Stormwater Permit
(NCGO10000) is issued upon the approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation Control
Plan for sites greater than one acre.
a. Approved Plan (Part I. Section A: No. 2.)During DWQ's site inspection, a copy
of the approved Erosion and Sediment Control Plan was on site and available for

review(Odom Engineering S&EC Plan). However, Ms. Owen did not have an
approved site plan for the McGill and Associates area.
DWQ is unsure of the coordination between all entities at the site and suggests that
this be improved (and clarified for DWQ). DWQ is also unsure if a modified plan
was approved for the road along the railroad track at the time of inspection.
b. BMPs and Control Measures (Part I. Section A. No. 2) Failure to maintain BMPs
and control measures that minimizes pollutants, represents a violation of
NCGO10000 Permit. DWQ observed measures that had been affected by the rain
storm during the previous 24 hours, which likely had caused the sediment
deposition to the unnamed tributary and wetland area. Representatives from the
Division of Land Resources (DLR)were not present during the day of the DWQ
inspection, so Horsehead Corporation has not been cited for failure to maintain
measures (and Horsehead site representatives were in the process of repairing
measures). DWQ will coordinate with DLR at a future date to inspect the site
again.
II. Stream Standard Violation - Other Waste (In-stream sediment) 15A NCAC O2B .0211
(3)f-Approximately 2080 feet of an unnamed tributary to the Broad River was impacted
by sediment deposition in pockets and throughout the stream reach,representing Water
Quality Stream Standard violation of 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (3) (f). A small area of
wetlands was also impacted by sediment(it should be confirmed if sediment entered the
L
delineated wetland area).
REQUIRED RESPONSE
The DWQ requests that you respond by June 11,2012. Your response should be sent to the
attention of Ms. Susan A. Wilson, Division of Water Quality, 2090 US HWY 70, Swannanoa,NC
28778 and should address the following items:
1. Construction Stormwater Permit NCG010000
a. Please explain when you anticipate being in full compliance with the NCGO10000
Permit. Please also explain which entity will take responsibility for stormwater
inspection and monitoring, etc. DWQ suggests better coordination between all
parties on-site.
b. You should include in your response an explanation of why proper operation
and maintenance of stormwater measures was not performed to optimum
efficiency and how you propose to prevent these problems from reoccurring
on this project and on future projects.

.der
2012
,c 3 of 4
2. Stream Standard - Other Waste (In-Stream Sediment)
a. Please provide a map of the project area. The map must include all streams and
wetlands, detailing impacts both on- and off-site.
b. Please submit a Sediment Removal Plan(Plan)to this office for review and
approval. The Plan must address removal of accumulated sediment from all surface
waters. You must secure an environmental consultant experienced in stream
restoration to assist you with developing your Plan, and obtaining any necessary
approvals. It is recommended that your consultant contact Tim Fox or Susan
Wilson of the Asheville Regional Office for additional guidance during Plan
development. The Plan should include:
• A narrative explaining how sediment will be removed; including,techniques,
manpower and tools to be used.
• A proposed schedule with dates that indicate when you expect to begin and
complete the removal of sediment.
• A diagram of the stream channel, referenced with photo documentation of
sediment impacts before and after removal.
• A narrative explaining how and where the removed sediment will be disposed
and stabilized.
• Please explain how turbidity standards will not be exceeded.
c. Once the work is complete, a final report documenting the results of the sediment
removal activities should be submitted to Mr. Fox.
The Division reminds you that Section II.13.3.(f) of the construction stormwater permit requires
that you report to DWQ any visible sediment being deposited in any stream or wetland.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. This office requires that the violations, as detailed
above,be abated immediately. These violations and any future violations are subject to a
civil penalty assessment of up to $25,000.00 per day for each violation.

Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Susan Wilson and Tim Fox(DWQ)met Lance Davis, Carol Owens,and Jay Woodward(S&ME)on site April 19,2012. Mr.Woodward
performed his site inspection with us. The facility had 2 inches of rain on the day/night prior to the inspection.
The site was compliant with DLR during their prior inspection. However,the site did not appear to be compliant with measures at the
time of DWQ's inspection 4/19/2012. A follow-up site inspection will be conducted by DLR and DWQ in May.
No E&SC plan was on site for the road leading to the Broad River(however,the plan for the project area was on-site). There seemed
to be some disconnect regarding the approved site plans. S&ME had Odom Engineering's approved site plans, but had not received
McGill's site plans for the road/utilities down to the Broad River.
Records and rainfall recording appeared to be well kept.
Sediment was observed in the northeast tributary(nearest the utlity access road and RR tracks)from near the wetland area to the
Broad River(appx.2080 ft). A small amount of sediment was observed in the wetland area. The silt fence in the area appeared to be
breached/compromised after the previous day's rain event.
The northwest tributary appeared turbid-and the measures near the headwater of the tributary appeared inadequate. Should these
measures not be improved,headcuts will become more pronounced and will result in continued erosion of the tributary.
The southeast pond(owned by Horsehead)continues to act a sediment trap. Horsehead may wish to consider sediment removal of
this pond/basin to ensure no sediment is released to the downstream pond owner.

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 water_
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. 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. For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout(Tr),High
Quality Waters(HQW), or Water Supply I or 1I(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.
7. The permittee shall use/Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds/ [15A NCAC 413.0124(a)-(e)] in areas draining to
(WS-11,HQW, 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.
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.

Mr.J.B. Setzer,P.E.

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
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.

Response deadline: May 23,2012
Dear Dr. Leder:
On May 2, 2012, Kevin Barnett from the Asheville Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality (DWQ)conducted a site inspection for Lora Young Dam at the East Fork Lake Property in
Transylvania County. Mr. Jeff Wait from the Asheville Regional Office of the Division of Land
Recources (DLR) was also present.
Stream standard and 401 WQC violations were noted during the inspection and file review.
Sediment impacts to Upper Creek, Class C, Tr, HQW waters, were documented.

As a result of the site inspection and file review, the following violations were identified:
VIOLATIONS
I. Stream Standard Violation - Other Waste"(In-stream sediment) 15A NCAC 02B .0211
(3)f- Approximately 2,200 feet of an Upper Creek, Class C,Tr, HQW waters was
impacted by sediment deposition measured to be between 3 and 20 inches in depth
throughout the stream reach, representing Water Quality Stream Standard violation of 15A
NCAC 02B .0211 (3) (f).
II. Failure to Secure a 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC)
Your consultant's response to the Notice of Deficiency issued by DLR stated that 30 linear
feet of new culvert had been installed at the,dam. Additionally, approximately 80 linear
feet of stream channel below the dam had been excavated and filled with large rock to
create a surge basin. The rock and culvert fill requires a US Army Corps of Engineers
(USACOE)404 Permit and a Division of Water Quality 401 WQC. A review of records
confirmed that neither the DWQ nor the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE) has
received an application for a 404 Permit or 401 WQC, prior to the impacts noted above.
Such an application is required pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and Part
15A of North Carolina Administrative Code 2H .0500.
REQUIRED RESPONSE
The DWQ requests that you respond by May 23,2011. Your response should be sent to the
attention of Kevin Barnett, Division of Water Quality '2090 US HWY 70, Swannanoa,NC 28778
and should address the following items:
1. Stream Standard- Other Waste (In-Stream Sediment)
a. Please provide a map of the project area. The map must include all streams and
wetlands, detailing impacts both on- and off-site.
b. Please submit a Sediment Removal Plan(Plan)to this office for review and
approval. The Plan must address removal of accumulated sediment from all surface
waters. You must secure an environmental consultant experienced in stream
restoration to assist you with developing your Plan,and obtaining any necessary
approvals. It is recommended that your consultant contact Kevin Barnett of the
Asheville Regional Office for additional guidance during Plan development. The
Plan should include:
• A narrative explaining how sediment will be removed; including, techniques,
manpower and tools to be used.
• A proposed schedule with dates that indicate when you expect to begin and
complete the removal of sediment.

.el Leder

• A diagram of the stream channel, referenced with photo documentation of
sediment impacts before and after removal.
• A narrative explaining how and where the removed sediment will be disposed
and stabilized.
• Please explain how turbidity standards will not be exceeded.
c. Once the work is complete, a final report documenting the results of the sediment
removal activities should be submitted to Kevin Barnett.
Two (2) options exist to resolve the violations related to the 401 Water Quality
Certification:
1. Apply to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for and receive a 404 Permit pertaining
to the culvert installation that has occurred. A 401 WQC will be required if the
activities are permitted by the Corps. The application process as described does not
guarantee the impacts will be approved.
2. Restore the stream to pre-existing conditions.
a. includes the removal of the impacts, restoration of the stream channel as
well as the restoration of the streambank and buffer along the stream.
If pursuing Option 1:
1. Contact the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers to determine the permitting needs of
the activities you have undertaken. The Asheville office phone number is (828)
271-7980.
2. Provide a proposed schedule of when you expect to have the required Pre-
Construction Notification(401 WQC application)submitted to DWQ.
If pursuing Option 2:
a. Please submit a Stream Restoration Plan to this office for review and approval. You
must secure an environmental consultant experienced in stream restoration to assist you
with development of your plan and authorization necessary to achieve compliance.
The plan must include the removal of the impacts,restoration of the stream channel as
well as the restoration of the streambank and buffer along the stream.
It is recommended that your consultant contact Kevin Barnett of the Asheville Regional
Office for additional guidance during plan development. The plan should include the
following:

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 Controi-
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. NCDOT will need to adhere to all appropriate in-water work moratoria(including the use of pile driving or vibration
techniques)prescribed by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission.

J. B. Setzer,P.E.

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.
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
F` 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.
26. 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
any questions,please telephone Mr.Mike Parker of the Asheville Regional Office at 828.296.4500.

Subject: Overflowing Private Sewer
Location: Sewer Line from
9 Oak Ridge Road
Asheville, NC 28805
Dear Mr. Hammonds:
It is the understanding of the Asheville Regional Office, Division of Water
Quality, Surface Water Protection staff that a privately owned sewer line which
runs from your property is overflowing between two lower properties on Beech
Wood Road. Information indicates that the persons receiving this letter make
use of this line.
Users of this line need to immediately make arrangements to have it repaired.
North Carolina General Statute 13A-335(a) says that a person owning a
residence shall provide an approved wastewater system. Continued
dependence on an overflowing sewer places at risk your ability to continue to
live in your house.
Each residence that is connected to this line(s) is responsible for proper
operation and maintenance of the sewer line(s). When an overflow occurs from
this sewer line(s) residences connected are responsible for the repair of the
sewer line. Failure to repair a sewage overflow can result in assessment of civil
penalties of up to $25,000 per day.
Please notify this office when repairs are complete.
Sincerely,
�'

Inspection Summary:
Susan Wilson and Keith Haynes(DWQ) met Doug Rowe (T&S Hardwood)and performed a site inspection on May 9,
2012.
The site was previously inspected in 2006 and a Notice of Violation (NOV)was sent at that time (no Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP)in place and no monitoring was being conducted). T&S Hardwoods responded to the NOV that
a SWPPP was being worked on and a monitoring plan was being put in place.
At the time of this inspection, Mr. Rowe could not locate the SWPPP and no monitoring had been conducted as required.
We reviewed the site and discussed potential monitoring locations. DWQ expects that a SWPPP be in place before June
30(and monitoring be conducted prior to June 30).
Due to the prior NOV in 2006 regarding the stormwater permit requirements-this office will send an NOV with this
inspection as well.

Dear Messrs Wilson, Pippert and Bradley:
- This letter is in follow-up to the NPDES Stormwater Permit Compliance Inspection conducted on
April 17, 2012. Mining Stormwater Permit(NCG020032) and stream standard violations were
noted during the inspection and file review. Sediment impacts to an Unnamed Tributary to Mine
Fork, classified C, were documented.
The mine is closed and in the process of stabilizing the grounds. This process will need to be
continually monitored to avoid further stream impacts. The permit requirement(Part III Section
A#3.b.) of inspecting and maintaining the Best Management Practices (BMP) as well as the
analytical monitoring should still be performed until the mine is released or has inactive status.
However,the following violations will need to be remediated and monthly sampling of turbidity
levels in the receiving stream will need to be conducted until further notice.
Violations:
I. General permit NCG020000 Violations-Discharges shall not cause or contribute to
violations of Water Quality Standards Part I Section B-stream standard violation listed
in II.
II. Stream Standard Violation - Other Waste (In-stream sediment) 15A NCAC 02B .0211
(3)f-Approximately 500 feet of an Unnamed Tributary to Mine Fork was impacted by
sediment deposition measured to be at least 4 inches in depth throughout the stream reach,
representing Water Quality Stream'Standard violation of 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (3) (f).

Dark water in the aeration basin and evidence of solids in the contact basin were signs that this facility was
poorly operated in the past. However, under new operators, the plant appears to be showing signs of
improvement. The effluent was clear at the time of inspection.
Maintenance was being done on the aerator lines at the time of inspection. It appeared as a thorough
cleaning had not been done in some time. This facility should have a working water line so that the plant
can be washed and maintained.

Inspection Summary:
Rains on 5-14,5-15,5-16 have exceeded three inches and some sediment has been lost. Any sedimet lost off site should be
removed including streams.
Monitoring records and forms appear to be up to date, however,some forms were not signed.
Some matting on slopes had failed and slid to the bottom of the slope. These areas should be repaired.
NCDOT noted that the matting in these areas would be removed,reseeded and matted.
The area below Bush Drive had just been temporary seeded. It is recommended that this area be final graded and permanetly
seeded. Also,it appears that a sediment basin is required for this area and has not been installed.
The sediment basin between the south side of 1-40 and the mexican restaurant is not draining properly and some stormwater is going
around the basin to the East Prong of Hunting Creek. This area should be repaired.
Seeding and matting must be performed on all bare soil areas where construction has not occurred for more than 15 days.

Dear Mayor Hughes:
The Town of Murphy entered into a Special Order by Consent (SOC)WQ S11-001 with
the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission whereby operation of the Town of
Murphy Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) has been placed under interim effluent limitations
and an enforceable schedule while the existing WWTP is being upgraded.
Under Section 2 of the SOC, the Town of Murphy was required to comply with the
interim effluent limitations therein. The WWTP failed to comply with the interim effluent
limitations for fecal coliform and total suspended solids as described in the Attachment A
documents for the months of October, November and December 2011.
After careful review of this matter, including your correspondence dated April 9, 2012,
sufficient justification to waive all of the stipulated penalties was not in evidence. Therefore,
pursuant to Section 3 of the Special Order by Consent, a stipulated penalty in the amount of
$1000.00 is now due for each violation, as noted in the attachments, for a total of$7000.00.
Payment by certified check payable to the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources must be submitted to the Department at the address given below within thirty (30)
days from receipt of this demand:

General Comments Regarding Bridge Replacement Proiects
1. NCDWQ is very concerned with sediment and erosion impacts that could result from these projects.
NCDOT shall address these concerns by describing the potential impacts that may occur to the
aquatic environments and any mitigating factors that would reduce the impacts.
(5)

2. If foundation test borings are necessary; it shall be noted in the document Geotechnical work is
approved under General 401 Certification Number 3687/Nationwide Permit No. 6 for Survey
Activities.
3. Any Bridge considered a Low Impact Bridge Project must fall under Nationwide Permit No. 3 to
qualify for Low Impact;otherwise, standard permitting procedures will be required.Example
(Regional General Permit No. 31,Nationwide Permit No.23,Nationwide Permit No. 13,etc.)
4. Whenever possible,NCDWQ prefers spanning structures. Spanning structures usually do not require
work within the stream or grubbing of the stream banks and do not require stream channel
realignment. The horizontal and vertical clearances provided by bridges shall allow for human and
wildlife passage beneath the structure. Fish passage and navigation by canoeists and boaters shall not
be blocked. Bridge supports (bents)should not be placed in the stream when possible.
5. 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
NCDWQ's Stormwater Best Management Practices.
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. 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 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,cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent
excavation in flowing water.
12. 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.
13. Heavy equipment shall be operated from the banks rather than in the stream channel in order to
minimize sedimentation and reduce the introduction of other pollutants into the stream. This equipment
shall be inspected daily and maintained to prevent contamination of surface waters from leaking fuels,
lubricants,hydraulic fluids,or other toxic materials. _
(6)

14. If temporary access roads or detours are constructed, the site shall be graded to its preconstruction
contours and elevations. Disturbed areas shall be seeded or mulched to stabilize the soil and
appropriate native woody species shall be planted. When using temporary structures the area shall be
cleared but not grubbed. Clearing the area with chain saws, mowers, bush-hogs, or other mechanized
equipment and leaving the stumps and root mat intact allows the area to re-vegetate naturally and
minimizes soil disturbance.
15. Sediment and erosion control measures sufficient to protect water resources must be implemented and
maintained in accordance with the most recent version of North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control
Planning and Design Manual and the most recent version of NCS000250.
16. In most cases, the NCDWQ prefers the replacement of the existing structure at the same location with
road closure. If road closure is not feasible, a temporary detour shall be designed and located to avoid
wetland impacts, minimize the need for clearing and to avoid destabilizing stream banks. If the
structure will be on a new alignment, the old structure shall be removed and the approach fills removed
from the 100-year floodplain. Approach fills shall be removed and restored to the natural ground
elevation. The area shall be stabilized with grass and planted with native tree species. Tall fescue shall
not be used in riparian areas.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments at this time. NCDOT is reminded that issuance of a
401 Water Quality Certification requires that appropriate measures be instituted to ensure that water
quality standards are met and designated uses are not degraded or lost. If you have any questions or
require additional information, please contact Mike Parker at 828-296-4500.

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 b
such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina
Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The deices shall be maintained on all construction sites, borrow
sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including c,')ntractor-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. The Federal Highway Administration is authorized to pipe 350 linear feet of stream. The 350 linear feet of
stream is currently confined in an asphalt ditch, adjacent to and parallel to the roadway, so there will be no
loss of streambed.
5. The Federal Highway Administration will need to adhere to all appropriate in-water work moratoria
prescribed by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Com mission.
6. For projects impacting waters classified by the NC Environmental Management Commission as Trout(Tr),High
Quality Waters(HQW),or Water Supply I or I1(WSI,WSIH stormwater shall be directed to vegetated buffer areas,
grass-lined ditches or other means appropriate to the site f')r the purpose of pre-treating storm water runoff prior to
discharging directly into streams. Mowing of existing vegetated buffers is strongly discouraged.
7. The permittee shall use/Design Standards in Sensitive Wdtersheds/[15A NCAC 4B.0124(a)-(e)] in areas draining to
(WS-I-HQW)waters.However, due to the size of the project,the Federal Highway Administration shall not be
required to meet 15A NCAC 4B .0124(a)regarding the m,iximum amount of uncovered acres. Temporary cover
(wheat,millet,or similar annual grain)or permanent herb,ticeous 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 iriparian 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,ba!,ins,etc. Matting should be secured in place with staples,

_,evin Rose
ay 31,2012
flage Three
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.
8. All work in or adjacent to stream waters shall be conducted in a dry work area. Approved BMP measures such as
sandbags,rock berms,cofferdams and other diversion structures shall be used to prevent excavation in flowing water.
9. 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 the stream channel shall be
temporary and be revegetated with native riparian species.
10. If multiple pipes or barrels are required,they shall be designed to mimic natural steam cross sections 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.
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 FHWA 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.

Mr.Kevin Rose

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 Federal Highway
Administration,Project 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.
