Guilford County
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place fill and impact 905 linear feet of streams to
construct the Brassfield Station commercial and residential subdivision located off of New Garden Rd in Greensboro,
NC in Guilford County, as described in your application received by the Division on April 29, 2009, and additional
information received on August 12, 2009 and additional information received on September 10, 2009. After reviewing
your modification application, we have determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification
Numbers 3705, which can be viewed on our web site at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/rd_wetlands_certifications.htm. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide
Permit Number 39 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 (including trout buffer waivers as necessary), Non-Discharge, State
Stormwater, and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also, this approval will expire when the accompanying 404
permits expire 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 fill for this project (now or in the future) exceeds one
acre, or total fill to perennial streams equals or exceeds 150 linear feet, additional 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 following impacts are hereby approved as long as all other specific and general conditions of this
Certification are met. No other impacts, including incidental impacts, are approved:

2. The final, written stormwater management plan approval on letterhead from the reviewing local government and
one copy of the approved stormwater management plan, including plan details, calculations and other supporting
information, must be received by this Office before the impacts specified in this Certification occur per Condition
No. 4 in GC No. 3631. Also, before any permanent building is occupied at the subject site, the facilities (as
approved by this Office) shall be constructed and operational, and the stormwater management plan (as approved
by this Office) shall be implemented. The approved structural stormwater practices 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.
Deed notifications or similar mechanisms shall be placed on all retained jurisdictional wetlands, waters and
protective buffers in order to assure compliance for future wetland, water and buffer impact. These mechanisms
shall be put in place at the time of recording of the property, or of individual lots, whichever is appropriate. A
sample deed notification can be downloaded from the 401/Wetlands Unit web site at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. The text of the sample deed notification may be modified as appropriate to
suit to this project.
4. 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 Winston-Salem Regional Office of the NCDWQ at the address listed on the form.
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.
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 contact Sue Homewood in the DWQ Winston-Salem Regional Office at 336-771-4964 or at
[e-mail].
Sincerely,
Coleen H. Sullins, Director
