Watershed regulations. Also this approval will expire when the accompanying 404 or CAMA 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 and you may be required to send us a new application. 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.
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

need to be performed by light hand raking. After covering, the areas shall
be firmed by rolling or with the use of a cultipacker.
5.08. Application of Mulch. Mulch shall be applied immediately after
sowing, covering, and firming. Straw shall be spread uniformly in a
continuous blanket at-the rate of 2 tons per acre. Mulch shal-1 be spread
by hand or by a blower type mulch spreader. Blower type mulch spreaders
shall be adjusted and operated in such a manner as to prevent excessive
breakage of the mulch material. If this cannot be accomplished, the mulch
shall be spread by hand. Care shall be exercised to insure that all wire
or twine from baled straw is collected as it is removed from the bale.
Mulching shall be started at the windward side of relatively flat areas, or
at the upper part of a steep slope and continued uniformly until the, area
is covered. The mulch shall not be bunched.
Wood cellulose fiber mulch shall be applied at the rate indicated on the
bag when applied by hydroseeding.
The Contractor shall take sufficient precautions to prevent mulch from
entering drainage structures through displacement by wind, water, or other
causes and shall promptly remove any blockage to drainage facilities which
may occur.
5.09. Anchoring Mulch. Immediately following application, straw mulch
shall be anchored by applying a sufficient amount of emulsified asphalt or
other approved binding material to assure that the mulch is properly held
in place. Where the binding material is not applied directly with the
mulch it shall be applied immediately following the mulch application.
The method of application of binding material shall meet the approval of
the Engineer. The rate of application of emulsified asphalt shall be not
less than 4.5 gallons per 400 square feet of mulch.
During application of asphalt binding material, or other binding materials
which may cause damage, adequate precautions shall be taken to prevent
damage to surrounding structures, manholes, frames and covers, vents, or
any other appurtenances. The Contractor shall either provide adequate
covering or change method of application as required to avoid such damage.
Wood celluose fiber applied as part of the hydroseeding should not require
anchoring.
5.10. Cleanup. After completion of the construction operations, the
entire area shall be cleared of excess soil and waste material, including
but not limited to stones, stumps, roots, brush, wire, grade stakes, and
all objects that might be a hindrance to maintenance operations and affect
the visual appearance of the site. All roads over which hauling operations
have been conducted, despite the type of surfacings, shall be kept clean,

and soil clods and debris left on the surface shall be removed. The wheels
of vehicles shall be cleaned to avoid leaving soil upon the surface of
roads, and other paved areas.
5.11. Protection. Immediately after completion of construction
operations, the entire area shall be protected as necessary against traffic
by erecting barricades or placing warning signs in appropriate areas. Such
protective devices shall be maintained until final acceptance of the
project.
6. GRASS ESTABLISHMENT. All seeded areas shall be maintained until final
acceptance of the Project. Maintenance shall include mowing, reseeding,
repair of erosion damage, maintenance of mulch, refertilize at end of
warranty period, and all other operations necessary to obtain an acceptable
grass cover.
6.01. Watering. Watering to expedite germination and establishment of the
grass will not be required. However, the Contractor shall guarantee a
uniform stand of grass in all areas. The Project will not receive final
acceptance until all areas have a stand of turf. The Contractor may elect
to water areas to expedite germination and establishment, but in such cases
he shall supply all water and the equipment necessary for its application.
6.02. Maintenance of Grades and Repair of Erosion Damage. Original grades
of the grass areas shall be maintained after commencement of planting
operations and during the maintenance period. Any damage to the finished
surface from construction operations shall be promptly repaired. In the
event erosion occurs from either watering operations or rainfall, such
damage shall be promptly repaired. Ruts, ridges, tracks, and other surface
irregularities shall be corrected and areas replanted where required.
6.03. Maintenance of Mulch. Mulch shall be maintained until covered with
growing grass seedlings. Material that has been removed from the site by
wind, water, or other causes shall be replaced and secured. Repair work
that is required because of faulty operations or negligence on the part of
the Contractor shall be performed at no additional cost to the Owner.
7. COMPLETION. In the event that all of the Work required by the Contract
Documents, with the exception of the establishment of a satisfactory grass
growth by seeding, is completed before a satisfactory grass growth is
established, partial acceptance of the work will be made with final
acceptance delayed until a satisfactory grass growth has been established.
