APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Smith:
Tarheel Land Company has our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place permanent fill
in 96 linear feet of perennial stream and in 0.0235 acre of wetlands in order to construct a road crossing for
an access road into the Copper Trace Subdivision, located on Phillips Chapel Road near the intersection of
Davis Road in Alamance County, as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality
(DWQ) on March 18, 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
httg://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 culvert 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 not to be altered above and below the
location of the culvert. The culvert shall be designed and installed to prevent head cutting of the
stream. If the 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).
2. 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.
3. 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 Certfcate 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 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.

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:
VIL 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.
This is the only location on the property where the stream can be crossed practically.
because of the soils limitations for development. Furthermore this crossing affords the
minimal impacts because of the existing pond dam
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/strmode.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.
None required
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): 0
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): 0
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): 0
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):-
Amount of Coastal wetland. mitigation requested (acres): 0

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 ?
If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA, document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at [phone] to review current, thresholds for environmental
documentation.
Yes ? No ?
