APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Ms. Edwards:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to impact 72
linear feet (If) and relocate 149 If of unnamed stream in order to construct the Parks Williams Athletic Complex
in Union County, as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on April 1,
2004. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this project is covered by Water Quality
General Certification Number 3402, which can be viewed on our web site at
http://h2o enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. The General Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number
39 once it is issued to you by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Please_ note that you should get any other
federal, state or local permits before proceeding with your project, including those required by (but not limited
to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge, and Water Supply Watershed regulations.
The above noted Certification will expire when the associated 404 permit expires unless otherwise
specified in the General Certification. This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you 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.
For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached Certification, as well as the
additional conditions listed below:
Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all lots with remaining jurisdictional wetlands and
waters or areas within 50 feet of all streams and ponds on the property. These mechanisms shall be put in
place within 30 days of the date of this letter or the issuance of the 404 Permit (whichever is later). A sample
deed notification format can be downloaded from the 401IMetlands Unit web site at
http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/ncwetlands ;
2. The section of'stream -channel to be relocated for the construction of the ball field will be restored utilizing
natural stream channel design concepts. Where the planting of riparian trees are not possible, shrubs and
other plantings will be utilized. An inspection of the complete relocated/restored channel shall occur three
months and twelve months following completion of the project. Any necessary repairs shall be made and a
summary report submitted to DWQ.
3. 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 to be maintained above and below locations of each

culvert. The culverts shall be designed and installed to allow for aquatic life movement as well as to prevent
head cutting of the streams. If any of the existing pipes are or become perched, the appropriate stream
grade shall be re-established or, if the pipes are installed in a perched manner, the pipes shall be removed
and re-installed correctly.
4. Stormwater discharge points shall be constructed in a manner such that the potential receiving streams (of
the discharge) at the site will not be impacted due to sediment accumulations, scouring or erosion of the
stream banks.
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 Preconstruction Notification application. All construction activities
shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur.
6. Erosion and sediment control practices must utilize Best Management Practices (BMP) and be in full
compliance with all specifications governing the proper design, installation, and operation and maintenance
of such BMPs in order to protect surface water standards:
a. 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 pit sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned or
leased borrow pits associated with the project.
b. 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.
c. The reclamation measures and implementation of these measures must be in accordance with the
requirements of the Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
7. 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 the Division of Land
Resources has released the project.
8. Upon completion of the project, the applicant shall complete and return the enclosed "Certificate of
Completion" form to the 401/Wetlands Unit of the NC Division of Water Quality. Please send photographs
upstream and downstream of each culvert site to document correct. installation along with the Certificate of
Completion form.
9. Continuing Compliance. Monroe Parks and Recreation Department (MPRD) shall conduct its activities in a
manner consistent with state water quality standards (including any requirements for compliance with section
303(d) of the Clean Water Act) and any other appropriate requirements of state and federal law. If DWQ
determines that such standards or laws are not being met (including the failure to sustain a designated or
achieved use) or that state or federal law is being violated, or that further conditions are necessary to assure
compliance, DWQ may reevaluate and modify this certification to include conditions appropriate to assure
compliance with such standards and requirements in accordance with 15 A NCAC 2H.0507(d). Before
codifying the certification, DWQ shall notify MPRD and the US Army Corps of Engineers, provide public
notice in accordance with 15A NCAC 21-1.0503, and provide opportunity for public hearing in accordance with
15A NCAC 2H.0504. Any new or revised conditions shall be provided to MPRD in writing, shall be provided
to the United States Army Corps of Engineers for reference in any permit issued pursuant to Section 404 of
the Clean Water Act, and shall also become conditions of the 404 Permit for the project.
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 that
Page 3
conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714
Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This certification and its conditions are final and binding unless
you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act.

WATER QUALITY SECTION
Mr. Alan Johnson with this office, Mr. Dan Latta (project engineer), and Mr. Chris Huysman (consultant)
have discussed the stream impacts at the Parks Williams Athletic Complex at the old fair grounds in Monroe. It
has been decided that a segment of the stream will be relocated rather than piped in order to accommodate
the construction of the soccer fields.
Documentation for the above modification needs to be submitted for inclusion in our files. In addition,
the project details for the relocation of the stream and timeline for completion of the relocation project must
also be submitted.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. If you have any questions, please contact Alan
Johnson at [phone].

Dear Ms. Edwards:
On April 1, 2004 the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) was notified by receipt of your modified
application regarding your plan to fill 170 feet of perennial streams and 241 feet of intermittent streams
for the purpose of constructing the Williams Athletic Complex in Union County. Approval from DWQ
is required to disturb these streams. Please provide 7 copies. of the following information and refer to
the DWQ # listed above in your reply.
The impact to perennial streams totals 170 feet (culverting and bottomless culverts). This impact
will require compensatory stream mitigation since this impact would result in loss of more than 150
linear feet of perennial streams. Please provide a stream mitigation plan that meets the Division's 1:1
stream mitigation policy.
Please telephone me at .919-733-1786 if you have any questions or would require copies of our
rules or procedural materials. This project will remain on hold as incomplete in accordance with 15A
NCAC 2H .0505(c). The processing time for this application will begin when this information is
received. If we do not hear from you by writing within three (3) weeks we will assume you no longer
want to pursue the project and will consider it withdrawn.

GENERAL CERTIFICATION FOR PROJECTS ELIGIBLE
FOR CORPS OF ENGINEERS NATIONWIDE PERMIT NUMBERS 18 (MINOR DISCHARGES)
39 (RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL AND INSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENTS),
41 (RESHAPING EXISTING DRAINAGE DITCHES), 42 (RECREATIONAL FACILITIES),
43 (STORMWATER MANAGEMENT FACILITIES) AND 44 (MINING ACTIVITIES),
AND RIPARIAN AREA PROTECTION RULES (BUFFER RULES)
This General Certification is issued in conformity with the requirements of Section 401, Public Laws 92-500 and 95-217 of
the United States and subject to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Regulations in 15A NCAC 2H,
Section .0500 and 15A NCAC 2B .0200 for the discharge of fill material to waters and adjacent wetland areas or to
wetland areas that are not a part of the surface tributary system to interstate waters or navigable waters of the United
States (i.e., isolated wetlands) as described in 33 CFR 330 Appendix A (B) (18, 39, 41, 42, 43 and 44) of the Corps of
Engineers regulations (i.e., Nationwide Permit No. 39) and for the Riparian Area Protection Rules (Buffer Rules) in 15A
NCAC 213.0200. This Certification replaces Water Quality Certification Numbers 3106 and 3108 issued on February 11,
1997, and Water Quality Certification Number 3287 issued on June 1, 2000 and Water Quality Certification Number 3362
issued March 18, 2002. This WQC is rescinded when the Corps of Engineers re-authorizes Nationwide Permits 18, 39,
41, 42, 43 or 44 or when deemed appropriate by the Director of DWQ.
The State of North Carolina certifies that the specified category of activity will not violate applicable portions of Sections
301, 302, 303, 306 and 307 of the Public Laws 92-500 and 95-217 if conducted in accordance with the conditions
hereinafter set forth.
Conditions of Certification:
Enumerating and Reporting of Impacts:
• Streams - Impacts to streams as determined by the Division of Water Quality shall be measured as length of
the centerline of the normal flow channel. Permanent and/or temporary stream impacts shall be enumerated
on the entire project for all impacts regardless of which 404 Nationwide Permits are used. Stream relocations
and stream bed and/or bank hardening are considered to be permanent stream impacts. Any activity that
results in a loss of use of stream functions including but not limited to filling, relocating, flooding, excavation,
dredging and complete shading shall be considered stream impacts. Enumeration of impacts to streams shall
include streams enclosed by bottomless culverts, bottomless arches or other spanning structures when a 404
Permit is used anywhere in a project unless the entire structure (including construction impacts) spans the
entire bed and both banks of the stream, is only used for a road, driveway or path crossing, and is not mitered
to follow the stream pattern. Impacts for dam footprints and flooding will count toward the threshold for
stream impacts, but flooding upstream of the dam will not (as long as no filling, excavation, relocation or other
modification of the existing stream dimension, pattern or profile occurs) count towards mitigation
requirements. Any filling, excavation, relocation or other modification of the existing stream (other than
flooding) must re-establish the same dimensions, patterns and profiles of the existing channel (or those of a
stable reference reach if the existing channel is unstable) to the maximum extent practical.
• Wetlands - Impacts to wetlands as determined by the Division of Water Quality shall be measured as area.
Permanent and/or temporary wetland impacts shall be enumerated on the entire project for all impacts
regardless of which 404 Nationwide Permits are used. Any activity that results in a loss of use of wetland
functions including but not limited to filling, excavating, draining, and flooding shall be considered wetland
impacts. Enumeration of impacts to wetlands shall include activities that change the hydrology of a wetland
when a 404 Permit is used anywhere in a project.
• Lakes and Ponds - Impacts to waters other than streams and wetlands as determined by the Division of
Water Quality shall be measured as area. Permanent and/or temporary water impacts shall be enumerated
on the entire project for all impacts proposed regardless of which 404 Nationwide Permits are used. Any
activity that results in a loss of use of aquatic functions including but not limited to filling and dredging shall be
considered waters impacts.
Application Thresholds - Stream, wetland and water impacts that exceed any of the thresholds below require a
complete application and written concurrence to use this Certification:
• Total stream impacts of greater or equal to 150 cumulative feet of stream length for the entire project require
written notification to and approval by the Division of Water Quality, and/or
• Impacts to waters of equal to or greater than 1/3 of an acre require written notification to and approval by the
Division of Water Quality, and/or
• Wetland impacts of greater or equal to 1/3 of an acre east of 1-95 and 1/10 of an acre west of 1-95 require
written notification to and approval by the Division of Water Quality except as specified below. Any impacts to
wetlands adjacent to waters designated as ORW, SA, WS-I, WS-II or Trout or are designated as a North
WQC #3402
r
Carolina or National Wild and Scenic River and wetlands classified as SWL and/or UWL as well as wetlands
described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (e) require a complete application and written concurrence from the
Division of Water Quality to use this Certification. These thresholds apply for the entire project regardless of
the number of Nationwide Permits applicable to the Certification that are issued by the USACE for the project;
• Written notification to DWQ is required for all applications that propose to use Nationwide Permit 18. This
notification requirement will be satisfied by providing two (2) copies of the PCN form to DWQ at the same time
that the PCN form is sent to the US Army Corps of Engineers. A formal application and fee is not required
unless DWQ decides that an Individual Certification will be required for the project. In this case, the applicant
will be notified in writing from DWQ within 30 days of the receipt of the written notification.
• Proposed fill or substantial modification of any amount of wetlands classified in accordance with 15A NCAC
213.0101 (e)(7) as Unique Wetlands (UWL) shall require written concurrence from the Division of Water
Quality;
2. Impacts to any stream length in the Neuse, Tar-Pamlico or Randleman River Basins (or any other major river
basins with Riparian Area Protection Rules [Buffer Rules] in effect at the time of application) requires written
concurrence for this Certification from DWQ in accordance with 15A NCAC 213.0200. Activities listed as "exempt"
from these rules do not need to apply for written concurrence under this Certification. New development activities
located in the protected 50-foot wide riparian areas (whether jurisdictional wetlands or not) within the Neuse and
Tar-Pamlico River Basins shall be limited to "uses" identified within and constructed in accordance with 15A NCAC
213.0200. All new development shall be located, designed, constructed, and maintained to have minimal
disturbance to protect water quality to the maximum extent practicable through the use of best management
practices;
3. Irrespective of other application thresholds in this General Certification, all impacts to perennial waters and their
associated buffers require written approval from DWQ since such impacts are allowable as provided in 15A NCAC
2B. 0212 (WS-1), 213.0213 (WS-II), 2B.0214 (WS-111) and 213.0215 (WS-IV). Only water dependent activities,
public projects and structures with diminimus increases in impervious surfaces will be allowed as outlined in those
rules. All other activities require a variance from the delegated local government and/or the NC Environmental
Management Commission before the 401 Water Quality Certification can be processed. In addition, a 30 foot wide
vegetative buffer for low density development or a 100 foot wide vegetative buffer for high density development
must be maintained adjacent to all perennial waters except for allowances as provided under the Water Supply
Watershed Protection Rules. For the purposes of this condition, perennial waters are defined as those shown as
perennial waters on the most recent USGS 1:24,000 topographic map or as otherwise determined by local
government studies;
4. Additional site-specific stormwater management requirements may be added to this Certification at DWQ's
discretion on a case by case basis for projects that have or are anticipated to have impervious cover of greater
than 30 percent. Site-specific stormwater management shall be designed to remove 85% TSS according to the
latest version of. DWQ's Stormwater Best Management Practices manual at a minimum.
Additionally, in watersheds within one mile and draining to 303(d) listed waters, as well as watersheds that are
classified as nutrient sensitive waters (NSW), water supply waters (WS), trout waters (Tr), high quality waters
(HQW), and outstanding resource waters (ORW), the Division shall require that extended detention wetlands, bio-
retention areas, and ponds followed by forested filter strips (designed according to latest version of the NC DENR
Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual) be constructed as part of the stormwater management plan
when a site-specific stormwater management plan is required.
For streams classified as Water Supply, High Quality Waters and Outstanding Resource Waters, post-
construction, on-site stormwater management shall be required as appropriate and as outlined in 15A NCAC 2B
.0104(m) and 2H .1000 to .1007, respectively, in addition to that required in this General Certification.
Alternative designs may be requested by the applicant and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the
Division of Water Quality.
Approval of stormwater management plans by the Division of Water Quality's other existing state stormwater
programs including appropriate local programs are sufficient to satisfy this Condition as long as the stormwater
management plans meet or exceed the design requirements specified in this condition. This condition applies
unless more stringent requirements are in effect from other state water quality programs.

Bob,
I checked our USGS topo maps and the stream classification. The site is in the
Stewarts Creek WS-III balance of watershed. The USGS maps shows the water feature to
be intermittent. According to our WS rules the local government is not responsible
for implementing buffers on intermittent streams.

thanks for the review... the red feature on the USGS is the site ...the stream is
only shown as an intermittent stream... just wanted to get your confirmation that
everything looked ok under the water supply rules...

Re: City of Monroe, Parks Williams Athletic Complex WETLANDS/ 401
Nationwide Permit 39 MAC
Union County, North Carolina 2004
Mr. Chapin and Mr. Dorney:
WATER QUALITY SECTION
Wetland and Natural Resource Consultants, Inc. is requesting authorization for impacts to
jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. associated with the construction of a regulation size soccer fields
and attendant structures under Nationwide Permits 39 for the City of Monroe Parks and Recreation
Department.
Proposed Impacts
Impacts for the project include the fill of 149 linear feet of low quality perennial streams and 220
linear feet of low quality intermittent streams for the purpose of grading regulation size soccer
fields under Nationwide Permit 39. Additionally, 84 linear feet of perennial stream will be spanned
for the construction of a roadway to access parking. Total loss of Waters of the U.S. are the
minimum necessary to construct the fields and provide a narrow buffer around the field for "out of
bounds" play. The proposed configuration represents impacts that were conceptually presented
during an on-site pre-application meeting with DWQ staff. The selected design is the least
impactive on perennial streams of the three configuration alternatives. Impacts are described and
illustrated in the attached PCN and maps.
Mitigation
Impacts are assessed to be minimal due to degraded / low quality state of existing channels and
wetlands to be filled. Remaining streams and a 25' buffer will be protected through deed
notifications and riparian areas will be planted with saplings on a 10'x 10' (minimum spacing).
Please call with questions or to discuss the project in further detail.

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.
The site development Dian has been modified since meetiniz with DWO staff as follows:
1) Impacts from soccer fields to perennial streams have been reduced by over 150 linear feet
2) IMpacts have been minimized by the use of a bottomless culvert for a road crossing
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.
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.ne.us/ncwetiands/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.
The City of Monroe will plant a riparian buffer zone along the remaining channel. The City
proposes saplings on a 10'x10' spacing but reserves the right to plant higher quality trees,
shrubs and other plants at a higher density in conjunction with the landscape plan.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration

• Unless specified otherwise in the approval letter, the final, written stormwater management plan shall be
approved in writing by the Division of Water Quality's Wetlands Unit before the impacts specified in this
Certification occur.
• The facilities must be designed to treat the runoff from the entire project, unless otherwise explicitly approved
by the Division of Water Quality.
• Also, before any permanent building or other structure is occupied at the subject site, the facilities (as
approved by the Wetlands Unit) shall be constructed and operational, and the stormwater management plan
(as approved by the Wetlands Unit) shall be implemented.
• The structural stormwater practices as approved by the Wetlands Unit as well as drainage patterns must be
maintained in perpetuity.
• No changes to the structural stormwater practices shall be made without written authorization from the
Division of Water Quality.
5. Compensatory stream mitigation shall be required at a 1:1 ratio for not only perennial but also intermittent stream
impacts that require application to DWQ in watersheds classified as ORW, HQW, Tr, WS-1 and WS-II unless the
project is a linear, publicly-funded transportation project, which has a 150-foot per-stream impact allowance;
6. In accordance with North Carolina General Statute Section 143-215.3D(e), any application for a 401 Water Quality
Certification must include the appropriate fee. If a project also requires a CAMA Permit, one payment to both
agencies shall be submitted and will be the higher of the two fees;
7. In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h) compensatory mitigation may be
required for impacts to 150 linear feet or more of streams and/or one acre or more of wetlands for an entire
project. For linear public transportation projects, impacts equal to or exceeding 150 feet per stream may require
mitigation. In addition, buffer mitigation may be required for any project with Riparian Area Protection Rules
(Buffer Rules) in effect at the time of application for buffer impacts resulting from activities classified as "allowable
with mitigation" within the "Table of Uses" section of the Buffer Rules or require a variance under the Buffer Rules.
A determination of buffer, wetland and stream mitigation requirements shall be made for any Certification for this
Nationwide Permit. The most current design and monitoring protocols from DWQ shall be followed and written
plans submitted for DWQ approval as required in those protocols. When compensatory mitigation is required for a
project, the mitigation plans must be approved by DWQ in writing before the impacts approved by the Certification
occur, unless otherwise specified in the approval letter. The mitigation plan must be implemented and/or
constructed before any permanent building or structure on site is occupied. In the case of public road projects, the
mitigation plan must be implemented before the road is opened to the travelling public. Please note that if a
stream relocation is conducted as a stream restoration as defined in The Internal Technical Guide for Stream Work
in North Carolina, April 2001, the restored length can be used as compensatory mitigation for the impacts
resulting from the relocation;
8. For any project involving re-alignment of streams, a stream relocation plan must be included with the 401
application for written DWQ approval. Relocated stream designs should include the same dimensions, patterns
and profiles as the existing channel (or a stable reference reach if the existing channel is unstable), to the
maximum extent practical. The new channel should be constructed in the dry and water shall not be turned into
the new channel until the banks are stabilized. Vegetation used for bank stabilization shall be limited to native
woody species, and should include establishment of a 30 foot wide wooded and an adjacent 20 foot wide
vegetated buffer on both sides of the relocated channel to the maximum extent practical. A transitional phase
incorporating coir fiber and seedling establishment is allowable. Also, rip-rap, A-Jacks, concrete, gabions or other
hard structures may be allowed if it is necessary to maintain the physical integrity of the stream, but the applicant
must provide written justification and any calculations used to determine the extent of rip-rap coverage requested.
If suitable stream mitigation is not practical on-site, then stream impact will need to be mitigated elsewhere.
Please note that if a stream relocation is conducted as a stream restoration as defined in The Internal Technical
Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, April 2001, the restored length can be used as compensatory mitigation
for the impacts resulting from the relocation;
9. Placement of culverts and other structures in waters, streams, and wetlands must be placed below the elevation of
the streambed to allow low flow passage of water and aquatic life unless it can be shown to DWQ that providing
passage would be impractical. Design and placement of culverts including open bottom or bottomless arch
culverts and other structures including temporary erosion control measures shall not be conducted in a manner
that may result in aggradation, degradation or significant changes in hydrology of wetlands or stream beds or
banks, adjacent to or upstream and down stream of the above structures. The applicant is required to provide
evidence that the equilibrium shall be maintained if requested to do so in writing by DWQ: Additionally, when
roadways, causeways or other fill projects are constructed across FEMA-designated floodways or wetlands,

Nationwide Permit 39
Union County, North Carolina . MAR 5 2004
Mr. Chapin and Mr. Dorney: WATER (QUALITY SECTION
Wetland and Natural Resource Consultants, Inc. is requesting authorization for impacts to
jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. associated with the construction of a regulation size soccer fields
and attendant structures under Nationwide Permits 39 for the City of Monroe Parks and Recreation
Department.
Proposed In ipacts
Impacts for the project include the fill of 149 linear feet of low quality perennial streams and 220
linear feet of low quality intermittent streams for the purpose of grading regulation size soccer
fields under Nationwide Permit 39. Additionally, 84 linear feet of perennial stream will be spanned
for the construction of a roadway to access parking. Total loss of Waters of the U.S. are the
minimum necessary to construct the fields and provide a narrow buffer around the field for "out of
bounds" play. The proposed configuration represents impacts that were conceptually presented
during an on-site pre-application meeting with DWQ staff. The selected design is the least
impactive on perennial streams of the three "configuration alternatives. Impacts are described and
illustrated in the attached PCN and maps.
Mitigation
Impacts are assessed to be minimal due to degraded / low quality state of existing channels and
wetlands to be filled. Remaining streams and a 25' buffer will be protected through deed
notifications and riparian areas will be planted with saplings on a 10' x 10' (minimum spacing).
Please call with questions or to discuss the project in further detail.

10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The project proponents propose to construct two soccer fields, horse shoe pits shuttle board
and playgound facilities and the attendent parking on the site. The site is adjacent to an
existing open field that gets heavy recreational soccer use; the existing field supports two
"pick-up" games but does not meet dimensional requirements. The proposed facilities will
provide level regulation size fields.
11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work:
Provide a recreational facilities for the City of Monroe. Specifically, the proposed soccer
facilities are needed to serve an existing need for fields by the recreation departments
recreational soccer league; the City has no like facilities in the immediate 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.
The site development elan has been modified since meeting with DWO staff as follows:
1) IMpacts from soccer fields to perennial streams have been reduced by over 150 linear feet
2L pacts have been minimized by the use of a bottomless culvert for a road crossing
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.
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/strm,-),ide.htmi.
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.
The City of Monroe will plant a riparian buffer zone along the remaining channel. The City
proposes saplings on a 10'x10' spacing but reserves the right to plant higher quality trees,
shrubs and other plants at a higher density in conjunction with the landscape plan.
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): N/A
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A
IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
