Subject Property: Broad River - Bell Site #5

Approval of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions

Dear Mr. Condrey:

You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed
below, to place fill within or otherwise impact 400 feet of streams for the purpose of
streambank stabilization at the subject properties, as described within your application
received by the N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on June 6, 2005. After reviewing
your application, we have decided that the impacts are covered by General Water
Quality Certification Number(s) 3376 (3376). The Certification(s) allows you to use
Nationwide Permit(s) 37 when issued by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). In
addition, you should obtain or otherwise comply with any other required federal, state or
local permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Erosion
and Sediment Control, Non-discharge, and stormwater regulations. Also, this
approval to proceed with your proposed impacts or to conduct impacts to waters
as depicted in your application shall expire upon expiration of the 404 or CAMA
Permit.

This approval is for the purpose, but not the design, that you described in your
application. If you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to
send us a new application. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy
of this Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all
conditions. If total fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre of wetland
or 150 linear feet of stream, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in
15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h). This approval requires you to follow the conditions listed in
the attached certification and any additional conditions listed below.

The Additional Conditions of the Certification are:

1. Impacts Approved

The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all of the other specific
and general conditions of this Certification (or Isolated Wetland Permit) are met.
No other impacts are approved including incidental impacts:

Stream

Plan Location or Reference

Broad River

2. Erosion & Sediment Control Practices

Erosion and sediment control practices must be in full compliance with all
specifications governing the proper design, installation and operation and
maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to protect surface
waters standards:

a. The erosion and sediment control measures for the project must be
designed, installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with the most
recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning
and Design Manual.
b. The design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and
erosion control measures must be such that they equal, or exceed, the
requirements specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina
Sediment and Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on
all construction sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including
contractor-:-owned or leased borrow pits associated with the project.
c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be
designed, installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with the most
recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.
d. The reclamation measures and implementation must comply with the
reclamation in accordance with the requirements of the Sedimentation
Pollution Control Act.

3. No Waste, Spoil, Solids, or Fill of Any Kind

No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian
areas beyond the footprint of the impacts depicted in the Pre-Construction
Notification. All construction activities, including the design, installation, operation,
and maintenance of sediment and erosion control Best Management Practices,
shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality standards, statutes,
or rules occur.

Rutherford County:

June 10, 2005

4. No Sediment & Erosion Control Measures wIn Wetlands or Waters

Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters
to the maximum extent practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control
devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall be removed and the
natural grade restored within six months of the date that the Division of Land
Resources has released the project.

5. Certificate of Completion

Upon completion of all work approved within the 401 Water Quality Certification
or applicable Buffer Rules, and any subsequent modifications, the applicant is
required to return the attached certificate of completion to the 401/Wetlands Unit,
North Carolina Division of Water Quality, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC,
27699-1650.

6. Construction in this creek and disturbance within a 25-foot trout buffer, should this
stream designation exist, should be avoided during the October 15 to April 15 trout
spawning period to avoid adverse effects of sediment on eggs and larvae. However,
Wildlife Resources Commission will not object to construction of Natural Resources
Conservation Service "urgent and compelling" sites during the spawning period
provided these projects are, to the extent appropriate and practical, constructed by:
(1) using flow diversion structures such as sand bags, (2) placing large-sized rock
toes and filter cloth backing for stabilization sites before backfilling, and (3)
excavating new channel alignments in dry areas. Construction at the other non-
"urgent and compelling" sites should not occur during the spawning period to
minimize the potential adverse effects of multiple construction activities on trout
resources in this creek,

7. Sediment and erosion control measures must be implemented prior to construction
and maintained on the sites to minimize sediment in downstream areas, Seeding for
a temporary cover of wheat, millet, or similar annual grain or permanent herbaceous
cover should occur on all bare soil within five (5) days of ground disturbing activities
to provide long-term erosion control. The projects should be accomplished in stages
instead of leaving large tracts exposed to further storm events. Erosion control
matting should be used in conjunction with appropriate seeding on disturbed soils in
steep slope and riparian areas. Matting should be secured in place with staples,
stakes, or, wherever possible, live stakes of native trees. Straw mulch and tall
fescue should not be used in riparian areas. In addition, because of an anticipated
difficulty in establishing ground cover during the winter, reseeding should be
conducted, as necessary, in the spring-time with a native annual and perennial seed
mix with a temporary nursery crop of wheat, millet or other grain.

8. Only clean, large, angular rock, large woody material, or other natural stream design
materials and techniques should be used for bank stabilization. Rock should not be
placed in the stream channel in a manner that constricts stream flow or that will
impede aquatic life movements during low flow conditions. Filter cloth should be
placed behind large rock that is used for bank stabilization. Properly designed rock
vanes should be constructed wherever appropriate on bank stabilization and
channel realignment stream reaches to improve channel stability and to improve
aquatic habitat. Root wads should be installed low enough in the bank so that a
significant portion (at least one-third) the root wad is inundated during normal flows.

9. The channel should be restored to a more stable condition. However, under no
circumstances should river rock, sand or other materials be dredged from the
stream channel under authorization of this permit except, if necessary, in the
immediate vicinity of the eroding banks for the explicit purpose of anchoring
stabilizing or flow/grade control structures or for reestablishing the natural and more
stable stream channel dimensions. Stream bed materials are unstable in f1owing-
water situations and are unsuitable for bank stabilization. In stream dredging has
catastrophic effects on aquatic life and disturbance of the natural form of the stream
channel can cause downstream erosion problems. The natural dimension, pattern,
and profile of the stream upstream and downstream of the permitted area should not
be modified by widening the stream channel or changing its depth.

10. Stabilization measures should only be applied on or near existing erosion sites,
leaving other stable stream bank areas in a natural condition. Grading and
backfilling should be minimized and tree and shrub growth should be retained where
possible to ensure long term availability of stream bank cover for aquatic life and
wildlife. Backfill materials should be obtained from upland sites except in cases
where excess stream bed materials are available. Berms should not be permitted
because they block the floodplain, constrict and accelerate flood flows, and often fail
and sometimes impede drainage during large flood events.

11. Repairs to eroded banks should be conducted in a dry work area where possible.
Sandbags or other clean diversion structures should be used where possible to
minimize excavation in flowing water. Channel realignments should be constructed
by excavating the new channel from downstream to upstream before connecting it to
the old channel.

12. Heavy equipment should be operated from the bank whenever possible. All
mechanized equipment operated near surface waters should be inspected and
maintained regularly to prevent contamination of stream waters from fuels,
lubricants, hydraulic fluids or other toxic materials. Equipment used in stream
channel must be clean, new or low hour equipment.

13. Disturbed stream banks and a 25-foot vegetated zone, or the widest width that is
practical under the site conditions, should be restored where possible along the
construction sites to natural riparian conditions with native trees and shrubs (e.g.,
silky dogwood, rhododendron, dog hobble, red maple, silky willow, tag alder, black
willow, sycamore) to provide long-term bank stability and stream shading. Note,
silky dogwood, silky willow and black willow can be planted as live stakes collected
during the dormant growing season. Cuttings should be randomly planted on four
(4) foot centers from the waters edge to the top of the bank. Trees should be planted
on ten (10) to twelve (12) foot centers. Stream banks in these areas should also be
seeded with a native annual and perennial seed mix with a temporary nursery crop
of wheat, millet or other grain.

June 10, 2005

14.lf pasture along the stream is to be used for grazing, a fence must be constructed
outside of the riparian zone and the stream to prevent livestock from entering these
areas.

15. Diffuse Flow

All constructed stormwater conveyance outlets shall be directed and maintained
as diffuse flow at non-erosive velocities through the protected riparian zones
such that it will not re-concentrate before discharging into a stream. If this is not
possible, it may be necessary to provide stormwater facilities that are considered
to remove nitrogen. This may require additional approval from this Office.

16. Riparian Zone Replanting

Replanting of vegetation within disturbed areas located within 25 feet of the
streambank associated with any land disturbing activity, repair, replacement
and/or maintenance must be done in a manner consistant with the Guidelines
for Riparian Buffer Restoration immediately following construction. (Please
see attached.)

45. Deed Notifications

Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all retained
jurisdictional wetlands, waters and protective woody riparian zones in order to
assure compliance for future wetland, water and buffer impact. These
mechanisms shall be put in place prior to impacting any wetlands, waters and/or
buffers approved for impact under this Certification Approval and Authorization
Certificate. A sample deed notification can be downloaded from the
401/Wetlands Unit web site at http://h20.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. The text of
the sample deed notification may be modified as appropriate to suit to this
project.

17. Turbidity Standard

The turbidity standard of 50 NTUs (Nephelometric Turbidity Units) shall not be
exceeded as described in 15 A NCAC 2B. .0200. Appropriate sediment and
erosion control practices must be used to meet this standard.

18. No Sediment and Erosion Control Measures in Wetlands

Sediment and erosion control measures shall not be placed in wetlands or waters
to the maximum extent practicable. If placement of sediment and erosion control
devices in wetlands and waters is unavoidable, they shall be removed and the
natural grade restored within six months of the date that the Division of Land
Resources or locally delegated program has released the project.

and may result in criminal and/or civil penalties. The authorization to proceed with your
proposed impacts or to conduct impacts to waters as depicted in your application and
as authorized by this Certification, shall expire upon expiration of the 404 or CAMA
Permit.

If you do not accept any of the conditions of this Certification (associated with the
approved wetland or stream impacts), you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You
must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing,

This form is to be used for projects qualifying for any of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE)-'
Nationwide, Regional or General Permits as required by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and/or
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, and for the North Carolina Division of Water Quality's
(DWQ) associated General 40 ~ Water Quality Certifications. This form is also to be used for any
project requiring approval under any Riparian Buffer Rules implemented by the N.C. Division of Water
Quality. This form should not be used if you arc requesting an Individual 404 Permit or Individual 40 I
Water Quality Certification. The USACE Individual Permit application form is available online at
http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlandslPermapp.htm.

The USACE is the lead regulatory agency. To review the requirements for the use of Nationwide,
Regional or General permits, and to determine which permit applies to your project, please go to the
USACE website at http://www.saw.usace.anny.mil/wetlands/index.htm. or contact one of the field
offices listed on page 3 of this application. The website also lists the responsible project manager for
each county in North Carolina and provides additional information regarding the identification and
regulation of wetlands and waters of the U.S.

The DWQ issues a corresponding Certification (General or Individual), and cannot tell the applicant
which 401 Certification will apply until the 404 Permit type has been determined by the USACE.
Applicants are encouraged to visit DWQ's 40 I lWetlands Unit website at
http://h20.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands to read about current requirements for the 40 I Water Quality
Certification Program and to determine whether or not Riparian Buffer Rules are applicable. The
applicant is also advised to read the full text of the General Certification (GC) matching the specific 404
Permit requested. In some cases, written approval for General Certifications is not required, provided
that the applicant adhe.res to all conditions of the Gc. Applicants lacking access to the internet should
contact DWQ's Central Office in Raleigh at [phone].

Trout Waters Coordination - Special coordination with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources
Commission (NCWRC) is required for projects occurring in any of North Carolina's twenty-five
counties that contain trout waters. In such cases, the applicant should contact the appropriate NCWRC
regional coordinator (listed by county on page 4 of this application) prior to submittal of the application.

Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Coordination - If the project occurs in any of North Carolina's
twenty coastal counties (listed on page 4) the applicant should contact the North Carolina Division of
Coastal Management(DCM). DCM will determine whether or not the project is within a designated
Area of Environmental Concern, in which case DCM will act as the lead permitting agency. In such
cases, DCM will require a CAMA Permit and will coordinate the 404/401 Permits.

The applicant may also choose to coordinate with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to ensure
that the proposed project will have no impact upon any endangered or threatened species or critical
habitat as regulated by the Endangered Species Act, and the State Historic Preservation Office, North
Carolina Department of Cultural Resources to ensure that the proposed project will have no impact upon
any properties listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Compliance with
these regulations is required to be eligible for any Department of the Army permit. The addresses for
both agencies are listed on page 3 ofthis application.

USACE Permits - Submit one copy of this form, along with supporting narratives, maps, data forms,
photos, etc. to the applicable USACE Regulatory Field Office. Upon receipt of an application, the
USACE will determine if the application is complete as soon as possible, not to exceed 30 days. This
PCN form is designed :for the convenience of the applicant to address information needs for all USACE
Nationwide, Regional or General permits, as well as information required for State authorizations,
certifications, and coordination. Fully providing the information requested on this form will result in a
complete application for any of the USACE Nationwide, Regional or General permits. To review the
minimum amount of information that must be provided for a complete PCN for each USACE
Nationwide permit, see Condition 13, 65 Fed. Reg. 12893 (March 9, 2000), available at
http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/wetlands/nwpfinaIFedReg.pdf. Processing times vary by permit and
begin once the application has been determined to be complete. . Please contact the appropriate
regulatory field office for specific answers to permit processing periods.

401 Water Quality Certification or Buffer Rules - All information is required unless otherwise stated
as optional. Incomplete applications will be returned. Submit seven collated copies of all USACE
Permit materials to the Division of Water Quality, 40llWetlands' Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650. If written approval is required or specifically requested for a 401
Certification, then a non-refundable application fee is required. In brief, if project impacts include less
than one acre of cumulative wetland/water impacts and less than '150 feet cumulative impacts to
streams, then a fee of $200 is required. If either of these thresholds is exceeded, then a fee of $475 is
required. A check made out to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, with the specific name of
the project or applicant identified, should be stapled to the front of the application package. For more
information, see the DWQ website at http://h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/fees.html. The fee must be
attached with the applic'ation unless the applicant is a federal agency in which case the check may be
issued from a separate office. In such cases, the project must be identifiable on the U.S. Treasury check
so that it can be credited to the appropriate project. If written approval is sought solely for Buffer Rules,
the application fee does .not apply, and the applicant should clearly state (in a cover letter) that only
Buffer Rule approval is sought in writing. Wetlands or waters of the U.S. may not be impacted prior to
issuance or waiver of a Section 401 Water Quality Certification. Uponreceipt of a complete application
for a 40 I Certification, the Division of Water Quality has 60 days to prepare a written response to the
applicant. This may include a 401 Certification, an on-hold letter pending receipt of additional
requested information, or denial.

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
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. Ally 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

fyi - so please note that fees are waived when you create these files - perhaps a

~)l: Attached is an electronic copy of the letter and information sheet
sent to the 19 counties and one town that have contracts with NRCS for
stream clearing projects. Those letters went out over the Secretary's
signature on Friday. We will hand-deliver a memo containing the same
basic information to the mountain area legislators tomorrow. We are
also working with the Governor's Office on a news release; I am not sure
how soon that will go out. Give me a call if you have any questions.
Thanks for working toward getting meetings set up. Robin.

RE: Emergency Watershed Protection Stream-Clearing Projects

Dear

I know that County experienced stream damage as a result of the fall
hurricanes. Our department would like to work closely with your county to insure that
stream restoration proj ects receiving state and federal funds under the Emergency
Watershed Protection (EWP) program move as smoothly as possible through the
environmental review and permitting process. I have enclosed for your information a
brief summary of the types of permits and approvals that may be required for these
projects. For projects that involve work directly affecting the streambed, the United
States Anny Corps of Engineers will be the primary environmental permitting agency.
For those projects, our staff in the Division of Water Quality and the Division of Land
Resources playa supporting role and issue related state approvals.

I have asked our staff to meet with all of the western counties, either individually or in
small groups, to talk about each county's proposed stream restoration projects and answer
your questions about permit requirements. Our staff will ask the Corps of Engineers and
Soil and Water Conservation staff to join in those meetings in an effort to put together a
plan of action for reviewing and approving stream restoration projects as quickly as
possible. You should receive a telephone call from DENR staff soon to talk about a date
and time that would be convenient to meet and talk about your projects.

I have also directed our staff to waive fees for state water quality certifications (under
Section 401 of the Clean Water Act) and for approval of erosion and sedimentation

control plans for stream-clearing projects funded under EWP. Fees will be waived for all
EWP permit s requested by September 1, 2005.

I hope these efforts will ease the burden on county govenunents already challenged by
the demands of reconstruction and recovery. If we can help you in any other way, please
do not hesitate to call. I have asked Assistant Secretary Robin Smith to be a. primary
contact on these projects for DENR; you can reach Ms. Smith at [phone]. The
enclosed information sheet also provides contact information for DENR staff in both the
Asheville and Winston-Salem Regional Offices and for the Corps of Engineers office in
Asheville.

Sincerely,

William G. Ross, Jr.
