APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Palmer:
The Davidson County Schools have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place
permanent fill in 169 linear feet of perennial stream in order to construct a road crossing for school bus
access and to place permanent fill in 196 linear feet of perennial stream in order to construct a road crossing
for staff access to the site of the proposed Ledford Elementary School, located on Friendship-Ledford Road
near the intersection of John Green Road in Davidson County, as described in your application received by
the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on January 9, 2004 and in additional correspondence received on
February 24, 2004 and March 9, 2004. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is
covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3404 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 14
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 the Certification and
approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland fills for this project
(now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC
2H .0506 (h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow. the conditions listed in the attached
certification, as well as the additional conditions listed below:
1. The culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profiles
are 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 not to be altered above and below the
location of each culvert except as allowed by the stream relocation plan included as part of the
approved impacts. The culverts shall be designed and installed to prevent head cutting of the streams.
If either culvert becomes perched, the appropriate stream grade shall be re-established or, if either
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).
Where riprip 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 of any crossing.
2. Upon finishing the project, the Applicant shall fill out and return the enclosed "Certificate of Completion"
to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been completed. This certificate
should be returned to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality at the address listed.
Along with the Certificate of Completion, please send photographs upstream and downstream of each
culvert site to document correct installation.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You
must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition
which conforms to Chapter 1506 of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative
Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This certification and its conditions are final
and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
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-

align the re-established stream channel above the dam with the existing stream channel below the
dam, _it will be necessary to relocate a 1401 If reach of the stream below the dam 70 feet west of its
present position. This relocated reach will pass through the 72" culvert at a constant grade of 2,45%.
The relocation will result in a net loss of RR If of stream channel.
The estimated total impQrvio„s area at build-out is 8 acres, which is 15.06% of the total project area.
Consequently, a stormwater management plan is not required. There will be an expenditure of public
funds for this project, it the grQ se pacts do not exceed any of the thresholds listed in the
NC EPA. On-site sewer service will be provided by the City of High Point.

Jay Guffey, El
Andrea,
A conversation with Daryl Lamb with DWQ in the Winston Salem Regional Office
towards the end of February, indicated that the combined impacts were greater
than 300 linear feet. This would require an individual permit from the Corps of
Engineers. To keep from having to go through the process for an Individual
Permit, modifications to the outlet protection for the 72" culvert and the 6x10
permit. The total impact is 298' which is 3 feet more than inititally proposed. A
revised copy of the page 8 of the PCN is included to denote the impacts
changes.
A hard copy is in the mail, and seven copies are being sent to DWQ as required
by the PCN.
If you have any questions, please call. Thanks.

From Jay Guffey, El
Comments Andrea,
A conversation with Daryl Lamb With DWQ in the Winston Salem Regional Office
towards the end of February, indicated that the combined impacts were greater
than 300 linear feet. This would require an individual permit from the Corps of
Engineers. To keep from having to go through the process for an Individual
Permit, modifications to the outlet protection for the 72" culvert and the 6x10
permit. The total impact is 298' which is 3 feet more than inititally proposed. A
revised copy of the page 8 of the PCN is included to denote the impacts
changes.
A hard copy is in the mail, and seven copies are being sent to DWQ as required
by the PCN.
if you have any questions, please call. Thanks.

Date: 2/24/2004
Comments (continued from page 1):
align the re-established stream channel above the dam with the existing stream channel below the
dam. it will be necessary to relocate a 140 If reach of the stream below the dam 70 feet west of its
present position. This relocated reach will pass through the 72" culvert at a constant grade of 2.45%.
The relocation will result in a net loss of 68 If of stream channel.
The applicant has proposed on-site mitigation by designating a conservation easement along the
floodplain of that portion of Reedy Run which flows through the project site. In addition, the applicant
will drain the on-site pond, re-establish a stream channel through the drained area, and provide a
50-foot buffer from banktop landward on both sides of the channel. The applicant will seed the pond
bed and stream buffer with a wetland seed mix and allow natural vegetation to restablish itself in this
area. The USACE has accepted this proposal as sufficient to satisfy the mitigation requirements for
the proposed impacts.
The estimated total impervious area at build-out is 8 acres, which is 15.06% of the total project area.
Consequently., a stormwater management plan is not required. There will be an expenditure of up bloc
funds for this projg tF but the proposed impacts do not exceed any of the thresholds listed in the
NCEPA. On-site sewer service will be provided by the City of High Point.
Art"`authorization to use WOC_= #3404 with additional conditions, will,be issued by WSRO.

Comments:
Site visit made on February 4, 2004. USAGE field personnel were present to make the jurisdictional
call on the proposed stream impacts. Applicant is req tins authorization from the USAGE to use
NWP 14. The eject consists of the construction of an elementary school in northern Davidson
County, Site area is 53.12 acres consisting of forest and small agricultural fields. Surrounding land
use is primarily sin le family residential and agricultural. Proposed impacts consist of 365 If of fill on
two unnamed tributaries of Reedy Run for the purpose of constructing two access road crossings_
One crossing is for a school bus access drive and will impact 169 If of stream with a 6' x 10' box
culvert and and rip energy dissi ap for pads. The second crossing is for the main entrance drive
and consists of 196 If of stream impact from a 72" RCP culvert and energy dissi ap for pads. A 2 to 3
acre onsite pond will be drained, and a stream channel will be restablished through the drained area.
This pond is situated immediately upstream from the planned location of the culvert for the bus
access drive. In order to properly align the re-established

page 8 of the Pre-Construction Notification Application follows.
Impact #2
The existing stream is located on the left side of the pond looking downstream.
Approximately 140 linear feet of the existing stream will be relocated 70 feet west. This aligns
the existing stream below the dam with the upstream approximate location. The stream will be
relocated through a 72" RCP under the staff drive. The pipe will be at a constant grade of
2.45%. The net loss of stream is 68 linear feet. A rip rap energy dissipator will be below the
outlet of the pipe. Calculations for the dissipator have been provided.

After a meeting on site with a Division of Water Quality representative, the following additional
information has been provided.
1. A sketch showing a 50' undisturbed buffer on either side of the creek. The buffer
will be located after the pond has been drained and the natural channel has been
determined. The pond bed will be seeded with a wetland seed mixture. The buffer
will remain undisturbed to allow for natural vegetation to establish. If within one
year, natural vegetation is insufficient, wetland tolerant tree species will be planted.
2. A copy of the wetland seed mixture distributors provided by the US Army Corps of
Engineers.
3. Inlet and outlet protection for both culverts.

List each impact separately and identify temporary impacts. Impacts include, but are not limited to: fill, excavation, dredging,.
flooding, drainage, bulkheads, etc.
5. Pond Creation
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.):
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.):
Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area:
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
Utilities to the school are along side the proposed road, to reduce additional wetland impacts and
roadways are crossing at near perpendicular angles. The staff drive crossing location was
selected at the location of the existing pond to minimize impacts to the stream.
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
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.
Page 9 of 12
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
ht!p://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.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.
On site mitigation is proposed along the floodplain of Reedy Creek, by designating
conservation easement to prevent any future development in this area. In addition the pond at
the staff drive will be drained and the existing channel through the pond will be allowed to
reestablish and a 50' buffer from the top of the channel on each side shall be provided. The
pond bed and channel buffer area will be seeded with a wetland seed mix and natural
vegetation will be allowed to reestablish.
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
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at htip://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the
following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet):
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet):
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres):
IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state) funds or the use of public
(federal/state) land?
Yes ® No ?

To Whom It May Concern:
After a meeting on site with a Division of Water Quality representative, the following additional
information has been provided.
1. A sketch showing a 50' undisturbed buffer on either side of the creek. The buffer
will be located after the pond has been drained and the natural channel has been
determined. The pond bed will be seeded with a wetland seed mixture. The buffer
will remain undisturbed to allow for natural vegetation to establish. If within one
year, natural vegetation is insufficient, wetland tolerant tree species will be planted.
2. A copy of the wetland seed mixture distributors provided by the US Army Corps of
Engineers.
3. Inlet and outlet protection for both culverts.
4. Modified pages 9 and 10 of the PCN Application.

* List each impact separately and identify temporary impacts. Impacts include, but are not limited to: fill, excavation, dredging,
flooding, drainage, bulkheads, etc.
5. Pond Creation
If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be
included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should
be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application.
Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands
Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of
draw-down valve or spillway, etc.):
Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.):
Size of watershed draining to pond: Expected pond surface area:
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
Utilities to the school are along, side the proposed road, to reduce additional wetland impacts and
roadways are crossing at near perpendicular angles. The staff drive crossing location was
selected at the location of the existing pond to minimize impacts to the stream.
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
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.
Page 9 of 12
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.
On site mitigation is proposed along; the floodplain of Reedy Creek, by designating a
conservation easement to prevent any future development in this area. In addition the pond at
the staff drive will be drained and the existing channel through the pond will be allowed to
reestablish and a 50' buffer from the top of the channel on each side shall be provided. The
pond bed and channel buffer area will be seeded with a wetland seed mix and natural
vegetation will be allowed to reestablish.
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
NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the
following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet):
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet):
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres):
IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state) funds or the use of public
(federal/state) land?
Yes ® No ?

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 12
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.

APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Palmer:
March 24, 2004
DWQ# 04-0027
Davidson County
The Davidson County Schools have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place
permanent fill in 169 linear feet of perennial stream in order to construct a road crossing for school bus
access and to place permanent fill in 196 linear feet of perennial stream in order to construct a road crossing
for staff access to the site of the proposed Ledford Elementary School, located on Friendship-Ledford Road
near the intersection of John Green Road in Davidson County, as described in your application received by
the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on January 9, 2004 and in additional correspondence received on
February 24, 2004 and March 9, 2004. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is
covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3404 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 14
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 the Certification and
approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland fills for this project
(now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC
2H .0506 (h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached
certification, as well as the additional conditions listed below:
The culverts required for this project shall be installed in such a manner that the original stream profiles
are 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 not to be altered above and below the
location of each culvert except as allowed by the stream relocation plan included as part of the
approved impacts. The culverts shall be designed and installed to prevent head cutting of the streams.
If either culvert becomes perched, the appropriate stream grade shall be re-established or, if either
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).
Where riprip 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 cros;?-sec t be
ion must
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 of any crossing.
2. Upon finishing the project, the Applicant shall fill out and return the enclosed "Certificate of Completion"
to notify NCDWQ when all work included in the §401 Certification has been completed. This cert ificate
should be returned to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality at the address listed.
Along with the Certiflicate of Completion, please send photographs upstream aind downstream of each
culvert site to document correct installation.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an ad'udicato hearing. must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send written petition
which conforms to Chapter 1506 of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative
Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This certification and its conditions are final
and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. I
