Dear Mr. Wallace:
The Keystone Group, Inc. has our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place permanent fill
in 170 linear feet of perennial stream, 309 linear feet of intermittent stream, and 0.03 acre of riparian wetlands,
and to place temporary fill in 10 linear feet of perennial stream and 0.007 acre of riparian wetlands in order to
construct the Woods at Grove Park residential subdivision located between Mebane Street and Trail Six Road in
Burlington, Alamance County, as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality
(DWQ) on May 19, 2005. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered by
General Water Quality Certification Number 3402, which can be viewed on our web site at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 39 when
it is issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In addition, you should secure any other applicable federal,
state or local permits before you proceed with your project, including (but not limited to) those required by
Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge, and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also, this approval
will expire when the accompanying 404 permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification.
This approval is valid only for the purpose and design that you have described in your application. If you
change your project, you must notify us in writing, and you may be required to send us a new application for a
new certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this Certification and approval
letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland fill for this project (now or
in the future) exceeds one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506
(h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached Certification, as
well as the additional conditions listed below:
1. The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all other specific and general conditions of this

2. We understand that you have chosen to contribute to the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (INC EEP) in order to compensate for the impacts to streams and wetlands. In accordance with
15A NCAC 2R .0402 and 15A NCAC 2B .0242(7), this contribution will satisfy our compensatory
mitigation requirements under 15A NCAC 2H.0506(h) and 15A NCAC 2B .0233(10). Until the NC
EEP receives and clears your check (made payable to: DENR - North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program), stream and wetland impacts (including fill) shall not occur at this site. Ms. Carol Shaw
should be contacted at [phone] if you have any questions concerning the Ecosystem
Enhancement Program. You have thirty (30) days from the date of this Certification to make this
payment. For accounting purposes, this Certification authorizes the permanent fill of 170 linear feet of
perennial stream in the Cape Fear River Basin, Cataloging Unit 03030002. Mitigation is required for
permanent impacts to 170 linear feet of perennial stream.
3. Appropriate sediment and erosion control measures which equal or exceed those outlined in the most
recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual or the
North Carolina Surface Mining Manual (available from the Division of Land Resources at NCDENR
regional offices or the central office), whichever is more appropriate, shall be designed, installed and
maintained properly to assure compliance at all times with the North Carolina water quality standards
that are applicable to Class C, NSW waters as described in 15A NCAC 02B.0211 Fresh Surface Water
Quality Standards For Class C Waters. Such measures must equal or exceed the requirements specified
in the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. These
measures must be maintained on all construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) sites,
including contractor owned and leased borrow pits, which are associated with this project.
4. Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters to the maximum extent
practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control measures in wetlands or waters is unavoidable,
they shall be removed and the natural grade restored within six months of the date that the project is
completed or, if applicable, within six months of the date that the project is released by the North
Carolina Division of Land Resources.
5. No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the
footprint of the impacts depicted in the Pre-Construction Notification. All construction activities,
including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of sediment and erosion control "Best
Management Practices" shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality standards,
statutes, or rules occur.
6. The culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profile
is not altered (i.e. the depth of the channel must not be reduced by a widening of the streambed).
Existing stream dimensions (including the pattern and profile) are to be maintained above and below the
Mr. Scott Wallace
Page 3,

location of each culvert. The culverts shall be designed and installed to prevent head cutting of the
stream. If any culvert becomes perched, the appropriate stream grade shall be re-established or, if the
culvert is installed in a perched manner, the culvert shall be removed and re-installed correctly. The
Applicant must submit a plan and receive written approval from this Office to address any head cutting
that will occur as a result of this project (e.g., use of cross vanes downstream of the culvert).
7. Where riprap is required for energy dissipation and scour protection, it shall be limited to the minimum
dimensions specified by appropriate engineering calculations. Riprap may only be used below the
normal high water level. The original grade and elevation of the stream's cross-section must be
maintained. Riprap placed in the stream bottom must be inserted into the bottom matrix to a depth
sufficient to provide the thickness of riprap required for scour protection. The elevation of the stream
bottom must not be increased by the placement of riprap. Placement of riprap must not result in
destabilization of the streambed or banks upstream or downstream.
8. Energy dissipation and sheet flow must be provided for all discharges of stormwater before such
discharges reach stream channels or wetlands.
9. The proposed project must comply with the local water supply and stormwater management ordinances
of Alamance County approved by the N. C. Environmental Management Commission.
10. All construction activities associated with this project shall minimize built-upon surface area, direct
stormwater runoff away from surface waters, and incorporate best management practices to minimize
water quality impacts. If concrete is used with any fill material, it shall not be allowed to come in
contact with surface waters until it has cured. If any stormwater must be collected for discharge into a
stream channel, it shall not enter the stream as a point source, but shall be slowed and discharged as
sheet flow prior to entering the riparian buffer on either side of the stream.
11. Upon completion of the project, the Applicant shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" form to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been
finished. This certificate should be sent to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality
at the address listed on the form. Along with the Certificate of Completion form, please send
photographs upstream and downstream of each culvert site to document correct installation.

Re: APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Wallace:
On August 9, 2005, the Winston-Salem Regional Office (WSRO) of the North Carolina Division of Water
Quality (NCDWQ) received additional information concerning the Woods at Grove Park from Mr. Wendell
Overby of Soil & Environmental Consultants, PA. Based on the revised construction plans provided to us by
Mr. Overby, it is our understanding that you have reduced your planned impacts to perennial streams from 170
linear feet of fill to 145 linear feet of fill. Specifically, this reduction has occurred from the redesign of the
proposed stream crossing WI-4 from 130 linear feet of fill to 105 linear feet of fill. Please be advised that the
401 General Water Quality Certification Authorization issued to you on June 24, 2005 (WQC# 3402) for the
proposed impacts at the Woods at Grove Park is still in effect as issued. You are authorized to impact a
maximum of 489 linear feet of streams and 0.037 acre of wetlands with fill for the purpose of constructing the
Woods at Grove Park development. You may of course impact less than this amount, and we encourage you to
do so through design changes such as those done on WI-4. With respect to the requirement to provide
compensatory mitigation as specified in Condition 2 of the Additional Conditions section of the Authorization,
you need do so only if the total fill to perennial streams on the project site equals or exceeds 150 linear feet or
the total wetland fill exceeds one acre. For the purpose of determining compensatory mitigation obligations, the
Division of Water Quality evaluates impacts to streams and wetlands on a cumulative basis. Therefore, please
be advised that these mitigation requirements apply to the fill associated with the current project and also to any
additional fill that may occur to streams and wetlands on this same site as a result of future expansion of the
current project or the building of new projects on the site at a later date.
This letter completes the review of the changes to the proposed impacts at the Woods at Grove Park by the
Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you have any questions, please
telephone Daryl Lamb in the DWQ Winston-Salem Regional Office at 336-771-4600, extension 293.

Alan W. Klimek, P.E.

We are sending revised plans for the project "Woods at Grove Park" in Burlington, NC. In May a
previous PCN was sent to the NC DWQ requesting the use of Nationwide Permit 39 for
permanent impacts of 479 linear feet of stream channel and 0.03 acres of wetlands. The previous
plans called for permanent impacts to 1701f of important stream channel thereby requiring
compensatory mitigation. As per the attached plans the applicant has reduced important stream
channel impacts to 1451f. We request a revised 401 Water Quality Certification based on the
latest plans. Revised pages `C' and `F' from the previous PCN along with a new drawing of
impact W14 is attached. Thank you for your assistance. Please call with questions or comments.

Dear Mr. Lamb:
At your request I have enclosed map copies labeled `original' and `revised' of proposed impact
WI4 for the Woods at Grove Park subdivision in Burlington, NC. You had requested new maps
showing the initial impact and the revised plans in a more readable fashion (earlier submittals too
hard to read). You will recall S&EC initially sent in a preconstruction notification for impacts
that included 170 If of perennial stream (`before). Later I sent a coverletter with revised
construction plans to the NC DWQ central office requesting 145 if of perennial stream impact.
Proposed impact WI-4 initially involved 130 If of perennial stream impact and was revised to
impact 105 If of perennial stream. Thank you for your assistance. Please call with questions or
comments.

the Keystone Group, Inc. on June 21, 2005, NCDWQ requires The Keystone Group, Inc. to satisfy all
compensatory mitigation obligations required by the USACE and any additional compensatory
mitigation obligations required by NCDWQ. Based on the information provided by the USACE,
NCDWQ has determined that you are responsible for compensatory mitigation for 170 linear feet of
impacts to streams at the Woods at Grove Park site. There is no additional mitigation required by
NCDWQ for this site. Accordingly, Condition 2., listed under the additional conditions section of the
above referenced General Water Quality Certification, is amended to read as follows:
2. We understand that you have chosen to contribute to the North Carolina Ecosystem
Enhancement Program (NC EEP) in order to compensate for the impacts to streams and
wetlands. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2R .0402 and.15A NCAC 2B .0242(7), this
contribution will satisfy our compensatory mitigation requirements under 15A NCAC 2H
.0506(h) and 15A NCAC 2B .0233(10). Until the NC EEP receives and clears your check
(made payable to: DENR - North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program), stream and
wetland impacts (including fill) shall not occur at this site. Ms. Carol Shaw should be
contacted at [phone] if you have any questions concerning the Ecosystem Enhancement
Program. You have thirty (30) days from the date of this Certification to make this payment.
For accounting purposes, this Certification authorizes the permanent fill of 170 linear feet of
perennial stream in the Cape Fear River Basin, Cataloging Unit 03030002. Mitigation is
required for permanent impacts to 170 linear feet of perennial stream.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If

AMENDED APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Wallace:
On June 24, 2005, the Winston-Salem Regional Office (WSRO) of the North Carolina Division of
Water Quality (NCDWQ) received information form the Raleigh Regulatory Field Office of the U. S.
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Wilmington District, concerning the requirements for
compensatory mitigation for impacts to jurisdictional waters associated with the Woods at Grove Park
residential subdivision. As a condition of General Water Quality Certification Number 3402, issued to
the Keystone Group, Inc. on June 21, 2005, NCDWQ requires The Keystone Group, Inc. to satisfy all
compensatory mitigation obligations required by the USACE and any additional compensatory
mitigation obligations required by NCDWQ. Based on the information provided by the USACE,
NCDWQ has determined that you are responsible for compensatory mitigation for 170 linear feet of
impacts to streams at the Woods at Grove Park site. There is no additional mitigation required by
NCDWQ for this site. Accordingly, Condition 2., listed under the additional conditions section of the
above referenced General Water Quality Certification, is amended to read as follows:
2. We understand that you have chosen to contribute to the North Carolina Ecosystem
Enhancement Program (NC EEP) in order to compensate for the impacts to streams and
wetlands. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2R .0402 and 15A NCAC 2B .0242(7), this
contribution will satisfy our compensatory mitigation requirements under 15A NCAC 2H
.0506(h) and 15A NCAC 2B .0233(10). Until the NC EEP receives and clears your check
(made payable to: DENR - North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program), stream and
wetland impacts (including fill) shall not occur at this site. Ms. Carol Shaw should be
contacted at [phone] if you have any questions concerning the Ecosystem Enhancement
Program. You have thirty (30) days from the date of this Certification to make this payment.
For accounting purposes, this Certification authorizes the permanent fill of 170 linear feet of
perennial stream in the Cape Fear River Basin, Cataloging Unit 03030002. Mitigation is
required for permanent impacts to 170 linear feet of perennial stream.
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 Daryl Lamb in the DWQ Winston-Salem Regional Office at 336-771-

Dear Ms. Wade and Ms. Karoly:
WETLANDS AND TTORMWAT RfBBRRANCH
Our client, Keystone Homes, requests the use of Nationwide Permit 39 for the proposed "Woods
at Grove Park" project in Burlington, NC. The applicant is Scott Wallace with Keystone Homes.
A signed agent authorization accompanies the enclosed preconstruction authorization. As
proposed, the Woods at Grove Park will result in the construction of 120 single-family
townhomes. The subject property, approximately 31-acres in size, is located between Mebane
Street and Trail Six Road in Burlington. Mebane Street is located north of 185, west of Hwy 62.
The approximate property boundaries are shown on the attached USGS Topo Quad vicinity map.
Surface waters on the property flow to Gum Creek in the Cape Fear River basin.
The applicant proposes permanent impacts of 479 linear feet of stream channel and 0.03 acres of
wetlands for construction of the project. Of the proposed stream impacts, 309 linear feet are
proposed to a low quality feature determined non-mitigable by Andrea Wade (USACE). Ten
linear feet of temporary stream impact are proposed for sewer impacts and 170 linear feet to
perennial stream from piping (road crossing). Forty feet of the perennial stream impact is
requested for a turn-in lane off Mebane Street required by DOT. An acceptance letter from the
EEP has been received regarding acceptance of stream mitigation for the project (up to 2:1 ratio).
Approximately 3,6801f of stream channel and 0.58 acres of jurisdictional wetlands were
approved by the USACE on the property. Outside of the perennial stream impacts that will be
mitigated via payment to EEP, the applicant asserts the remaining impacts occur to low quality
features as qualified by the USACE. The project will follow local stormwater requirements.
Enclosed with the completed PCN are proposed impervious calculations from the project
engineer.
Attached please find: 1) A completed Pre-construction Notification 2) signed Agent
Authorization Form, 3) USGS topo quad vicinity map, 4) Alamance County Soil Survey map, 5)
Construction plans, 6) Engineer's impervious calculations, 7) Wetland data forms, 8) EEP
mitigation acceptance letter, and 9) 401 processing fee.

mitigable streams total 1701f. EEP has accepted payment for mitigation to perennial streams.
Folly linear feet of the perennial stream impact required bCity DOT for road turn out into s/d
off Mebane Street (unavoidable). Small temporary impacts proposed for sewer crossing.
Of 0.58 acres of wetlands only .03 to impact. Largest impact request to marginal, low
quality stream and small wetland (for financial viability of project). Perennial stream exits
subject property to south piped under large shopping center parking lot for hundreds of feet.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
Page 9 of 9
r
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o. enr. state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
Impacts to perennial mitigable) streams will be 1701f. Acceptance from EEP has been
obtained Applicant contends further avoidance of perennial stream and wetlands serves as

Our client, Keystone Homes, requests the use of Nationwide Permit 39 for the proposed' ' WATER QUAUT`r ii
yy AND STORMWATER BWX
at Grove Park" project in Burlington, NC. The applicant is Scott Wallace with Keystone omes.
A signed agent authorization accompanies the enclosed preconstruction authorization. As
proposed, the Woods at Grove Park will result in the construction of 120 single-family
townhomes. The subject property, approximately 31-acres in size, is located between Mebane
Street and Trail Six Road in Burlington. Mebane Street is located north of 185, west of Hwy 62.
The approximate property boundaries are shown on the attached USGS Topo Quad vicinity map.
Surface waters on the property flow to Gum Creek in the Cape Fear River basin.
The applicant proposes permanent impacts of 479 linear feet of stream channel and 0.03 acres of
wetlands for construction of the project. Of the proposed stream impacts, 309 linear feet are
proposed to a low quality feature determined non-mitigable by Andrea Wade (USACE). Ten
linear feet of temporary stream impact are proposed for sewer impacts and 170 linear feet to
perennial stream from piping (road crossing). Forty feet of the perennial stream impact is
requested for a turn-in lane off Mebane Street required by DOT. An acceptance letter from the
EEP has been received regarding acceptance of stream mitigation for the project (up to 2:1 ratio).
Approximately 3,6801f of stream channel and 0.58 acres of jurisdictional wetlands were
approved by the USACE on the property. Outside of the perennial stream impacts that will be
mitigated via payment to EEP, the applicant asserts the remaining impacts occur to low quality
features as qualified by the USACE. The project will follow local stormwater requirements.
Enclosed with the completed PCN are proposed impervious calculations from the project
engineer.
Attached please find: 1) A completed Pre-construction Notification 2) signed Agent
Authorization Form, 3) USGS topo quad vicinity map, 4) Alamance County Soil Survey map, 5)
Construction plans, 6) Engineer's impervious calculations, 7) Wetland data forms, 8) EEP

mitigable streams total 1701f. EEP has accepted payment for mitigation to perennial streams.
Forty linear feet of the perennial stream impact required bey DOT for road turn out into s/d
off Mebane Street (unavoidable). Small temporary impacts posed for sewer crossing.
Of 0.58 acres of wetlands only .03 proposed to impact. Largest impact request to marginal, low
Qua ly stream and small wetland (for financial viability of project). Perennial stream exits
subject property to south, piped under large shopping center parking lot for hundreds of feet.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
Page 9 of 9
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strtngide.html.
Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
Impacts to perennial mitigable) streams will be 1701f. Acceptance from EEP has been
obtained Applicant contends further avoidance of perennial stream and wetlands serves as
mitigation for proposed impacts Majority of proposed impacts to low quality stream and
wetlands for financial viability of project. USACE rep Andrea Wade has visited site and
qualified stream/wetland features. Applicant has minimized fills in floodplain.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at
[phone] to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior
to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the

Project: Woods at Grove Park County: Alamance
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NC EEP) is willing to
accept payment for impacts associated with the above referenced project. Please note that this decision does not assure that
the payment will be approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation for project impacts. It is the responsibility of the
applicant to contact these agencies to determine if payment to the NC EEP will be approved.
This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter. If we have not received a copy of the issued 404
Permit/401 Certification within this time frame, this acceptance will expire. It is the applicant's responsibility to send
copies of the 404/401/CAMA permits to NC EEP. Once NC EEP receives a copy of the 404 Permit and/or the 401
Certification an invoice will be issued and payment must be made.
Based on the information supplied by you the impacts that will be mitigated are summarized in the following table.
River Basin Wetlands Stream Buffer Buffer
Cataloging (Acres) (Linear Feet) Zone 1 Zone 2
Unit (Sq. Ft.) (Sq. Ft.)
Riparian Non-Riparian Coastal Marsh Cold Cool Warm
Cape Fear 0.03 0 0 0 0 170 0 0
03030002
Upon receipt of payment, EEP will take responsibility for providing the compensatory mitigation for the permitted impacts
up to a 2:1 ratio, (buffers, Zone 1 at a 3:1 ratio and Zone 2 at a 1:1.5 ratio). The magnitude of the compensatory mitigation
will be as specified in the Section 404 Permit and/or 401 Water Quality Certification, and/or CAMA Permit. The mitigation
will be performed in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding between the N. C. Department of Environment and
Natural Resources and the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers dated November 4, 1998.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Carol Shaw at [phone].
