No prior history.
V. Future Project Plans
Are any future permit requests anticipated for this project? If so, describe the anticipated work, and
provide justification for the exclusion of this work from the current application.
No additional stream or wetland impacts will be needed within the proiect area.
VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to wetlands,
open water, and stream channels associated with the project. The applicant must also provide justification
for these impacts in Section VII below. All proposed impacts, permanent and temporary, must be listed.
herein, and must be clearly identifiable on an accompanying site plan. All wetlands and waters, and all
Page 2 of 7
streams (intermittent and perennial) must be shown on a delineation map, whether or not impacts are
proposed to these systems. Wetland and stream evaluation and delineation forms should be included as
appropriate. Photographs may be included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly
for wetland or stream mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional space is
needed for listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
Provide a written description of the proposed impacts: Numerous minor wetland impacts will be
required to re-establish a natural stream morphology through the valley. Impacts will be to
wetlands that are supported by groundwater discharges, these wetlands will experience a
functional lift with the added hydrology from overbank events and will be enhanced through
the restoration process. The existing conditions reflect historic straightening and minor
grading. The restored stream is designed to have biannual bankfull events and will provide
additional hydrology to existing hydric soils that do not currently exhibit wetland hydrology.
There will be a net gain in wetland areas. The attached maps illustrate the extent of wetlands
on the site. This approach ensures that buffer plantings will be more likely to be successful
because species will be compatible with anticipated hvdroloev. The restoritive actions are
described in the attached mitieation plan.

Page 4 of 7
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.
Wetland impacts are necessary to restore the stream channels that are on the site and no practical
alternative designs would result in a natural stream morpholoav. Those areas that are impacted by
the stream restoration will be replaced throuah the wetting of hydric soils that currently lack
hydrology; wetted areas will be planted in wetland riparian tree species. Existing wetlands will
gain function through riparian plantings. Stream crossings are necessary to provide access to high
ground. The current design strategy allows for the crossings to be installed now in anticipation of
potential land use changes. Design considerations are described in the Plan under Section IV;
Culvert Design ensures minimal impact to the restored system.
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/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.

Addendum to the Pre-Construction Notification and "Buffer Rules" Application Required for
Projects Submitted Under the
"Express Review Program"
North Carolina Division of Water Quality Version 3.0
January 7, 2004
Email Address: [e-mail]
Purpose: To provide a detailed explanation of the information required by the Division of Water Quality
in order to expedite the review of applications for 401 General Water Quality Certifications, Isolated
Wetland and Stream Permits, and Buffer Rule and Minor Variance Approvals.
Please do not leave any questions unanswered or use terms such as "N/A" without an explanation.
Fees:
Total stream impacts of less than 150 feet and/or total wetland impacts of less than or equal to 1 acre -
$1,000.00.
Total stream impacts of greater than or equal to 150 feet and/or total wetland impacts of more than 1 acre
and projects that include any kind of Buffer Rules Approval -$2,000.00. For stream origin determinations
as required by the Buffer Protection Rules the fee is $200.00 for one or two streams on the same
property, $500.00 for three to six streams on the same property, or $1,000.00 for more than 6 streams on
the same property.
Please read the entire document before attempting to determine the proper fee. Fees are additive for a
particular project.
Things to keep in mind when filling out the application:
A specific answer must be provided for each question. For instance, if a numerical answer is requested
then a numerical answer must be provided along with the supporting information necessary for DWQ staff
to verify that the number is accurate. Likewise, if explanations are presented to justify certain responses,
the explanations must be completely supported by documentation. DWQ staff cannot assume that
unsupported or undocumented information is accurate. "N/A" is not an acceptable answer for any
question since the DWQ Staff reviewing the application must have an opportunity to determine whether or
not any requested information is pertinent.
All forms, guidance, worksheets, applications, etc. used must be the current versions as posted on our
web site at http:h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. There will soon be a web site specifically for the express
review program. Please note that it will be the applicant's or applicant's consultant's responsibility to
verify that the current versions are used. The versions posted on our web site will be considered to be
the current versions.
You are a very important part of the success of this program, if you have suggestions or clarifications
please send your comments to the Wetlands/401 Unit of the DWQ (via email at
401 [e-mail]).
Filling Out the Pre-Construction Notification Application:
The Corps of Engineers (USACE)/DWQ official, joint Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) Application

SECTION III - PROJECT INFORMATION
The following is the most critical of all the information that you must provide. The quality and detail of the
information will often determine the expeditiousness of the review. The following is a checklist of the
types of pertinent information required at a minimum:
Maps and Plans:
The most recent version of the 1:24,000 USGS Topographic Map- Please cleanly
delineate the site boundaries, etc. on the map. If the delineation obscures any of the
features, it is recommended that a clean copy be provided. Please indicate the
quadrangle name. You can go to the USGS web site (http://mac.usgs.gov/maplists/) to
verify the most recent version.
?i}'lgQ? Qtl ?` ?"R The most recent version of the NRCS Soil Survey Map - (required for projects within
$t;0ion -I-- I the Neuse River Basin, Tar-Pamlico River Basin and Randleman Lake Watershed and
recommended for all projects) - Please cleanly delineate the site boundaries, etc. on the
P Qre, map. If the delineation obscures any of the features, it is recommended that a clean copy
be provided. Please indicate the page or map number from which the copy of the map
was made. Copies of the current soil survey and/or soil survey map sheets can be
obtained from the local NRCS County Office (http://www.nc.nres.usda.gov/).
?jttG,a}-%rn Phan ,? Vicinity map - Please clearly mark the location and approximate boundaries of the
f? property and project on the map. Please indicate north and scale. Please include
1 9v { applicable road names or State Road numbers.
tonebredqe Strew lay The Site Plan - The most critical map to be provided is the site plan. You must provide
\W(Y an, Pros u+ full sized plans. The following is the minimum list of plans that are typically needed.

impervious area must also be shown. Existing utility lines and easements must
also be shown. Existing roads, culverts, and other pertinent features must be
shown. North arrow and the scale must be shown. Please note that the impact
boundaries on the maps should correspond to the flagged impact boundaries in the
field.
r\Cbr? ? us1V e? Proposed conditions - These sheets must be scaled and show all existing
f ?t Q?n S S hf?tS (-'R jurisdictional and non jurisdictional wetland, stream, water features, and State
regulated buffers must be underlain on the site plan(s). The plans must show all
built-out structures and impervious cover. The plans must include the final grading
contours with elevations. The plans must indicate all utilities and easements. It is
likely that several versions of the final built out site plans will be necessary. The
following is a list of layers:
I i- "j5(x+r on Plan, Drainage Plans - Final drainage plans must be included. The plans should include
the locations and pertinent elevations and sizes of the collection system and
drainage ways. All inlets and outlets must also be shown with pertinent elevations.

policies. In certain cases, final stormwater management plans must also be
provided, but that will be addressed later in this document.
?11 S90 lE' Plats - The plans must show the location and layout of all sub-divided parcels with
lot identifications. Platted parcels must be developable without further impacts to
jurisdictional and non jurisdictional wetlands, streams, water features, and State
regulated buffers.
Des rJ#ru V Proposed Impacts - All impacts to jurisdictional and non jurisdictional wetland,
stream, water features, and State regulated buffers must be shown and labeled on
Q?t?ns , SYVOS k- T the site plans. All excavation, fill, flooding, stabilization, and other impacts that will
be conducted in or near jurisdictional and non jurisdictional wetland, stream, water

Precise grading and final elevation contours must be provided. Existing vegetation and
any clearing must be specified.
All subsurface utility lines must indicate the location of anti-seep collars. Construction
detail for anti-seep collars must be provided.
Roadway or other crossings of riparian wetlands may require floodway culverts to
maintain existing hydrological conditions.
When surface drainage features or groundwater recharge areas that feed or would
reasonably feed wetlands that are not to be filled are made impervious, it may be
necessary to direct some stormwater runoff to those areas in order to maintain hydrology.
You must identify these areas and address them. Supporting explanations and discharge
information must be provided to show that the wetland would not be eroded or receive
too much or too little hydrology. In many cases this could help satisfy part of a
stormwater management plan.

ro.,b(-*e OL06r' i" For longer culverts or culverts that will pass beneath substantial impervious cover, it will
be necessary to provide adequate plan detail to show that discharge velocity/energy will

Aquatic life passage through culverts is typically achieved by placing the invert of the
9?0fle-bf,ta culvert below the existing bed of the stream per the USACE or North Carolina Wildlife
?S i ?? (eta 0,nS, Sit _S Resource Commission guidelines. Other methods such as baffles may also be used.
Please be aware that such placement may require the use of grade/velocity control
measures up or down stream of culverts on steeper streams to prevent head-cuts or
stream bed erosion. The culvert placement relative to the stream bed can be indicated
on the longitudinal profile. Grade and velocity control measures must be indicated on the
plan view and typical designs should be provided.
ftr\C 1xi age- 17 Multiple culverts, wide culverts or sectioned box culverts typically require the use of sills,
)eStgn Pions, Sim i-$ off-setting or other means to match the cross section of the existing stream (in order to
maintain stream stability and provide aquatic life passage). A vertical cross section of the
culverts should be shown overlain with the up and downstream stream cross section
including the stream flood-prone area.

SECTION V - FUTURE PROJECT PLANS
wo Ad dl fI QlvJ V For projects utilizing the express review process, all impacts both present and
rA 6 r• vvr f1 anJ potential future must be indicated. For instance, the location or configuration of
?U platted lots sometimes suggests that future impacts will be necessary to build,
W WI ?? access, or otherwise develop such lots. Failure to account for such potential impacts
could delay or disqualify a project from the rapid review process. If you believe that
Wf't r` pro the the lot can be developed without impacts, but you anticipate that your assertion may
be questioned, it is recommended that you provide a potential building foot print
01 I'Q and/or grading plan to show that future impacts could be avoided.
SECTION VI - PROPOSED IMPACTS TO WATER OF THE US
lorebr Id e-
ue' 1. It is recommended that the individual impacts be described if there are special things
S l J? Plans to note about the impacts. Typically the most important thing is to have detailed
accurate site plans as described above. Please make sure they are clearly labeled.
?,/ Please include all proposed temporary impacts.
6'I oL ns
Not t/ Also, a current, signed delineation map from the USACE should be provided (if
kV0L 1&b1tL available) and a map locating the stream origins signed by the appropriate DWQ
Staff must be provided if applicable.
+Drvabr?dse 6' 2. Each impact to a wetland must be clearly labeled and identified on the site plan. The
)es! sn Pton's type of impact must be clearly stated. If the impact is temporary, a specific plan must
be described or shown as to how the wetland will be restored. Keep in mind that the
USACE delineates some features as wetlands that DWQ calls streams. Please do
not list any impacts in this table that DWQ would identify as a stream. If there is any
doubt, it is recommended that the impacts be listed as streams.
si-t> YOebr Z CkC? e 6Y 3. Each impact to a wetland must be clearly labeled and identified on the site plan. The
A QI all S' type of impact must be clearly stated. If the impact is temporary, a specific plan must
be described or shown as to how the wetland will be restored. Keep in mind that the
$25 - g USACE delineates some features as wetlands that DWQ calls streams. Please list
any impacts in this table that DWQ would identify as a stream. If there is any doubt, it
is recommended that the impacts be listed as streams. Please follow current DWQ
policy with respect to whether a stream is perennial or not. It is recommended that
you assume that a stream is perennial (unless you are positive that it is not) so if
mitigation is required then the appropriate amount of mitigation would be anticipated
or requested from the WRP or private bank. If the WRP or private bank has pre-
approved too short of an amount of stream or if inadequate mitigation is proposed,
then that situation will result in delays.
?Ian 19/ \? 5 4. Sometimes it is difficult to determine whether a feature is a modified natural channel
or a ditch, especially in the eastern part of the State. Soils, drainage features,
topography, and similar factors, all are important for making that determination.
NIA V 5. Other items to address not specifically requested in the application include
downstream sediment starvation, thermal pollution, low flow releases from dams, and
aquatic life passage. Other important considerations are buffer reestablishment or
mitigation around ponds on buffered streams. The site plan should include the
precise elevation contour of the normal pool as well as the dam foot-print. Mitigation
is required for wetland flooding of an acre or greater and for stream fill (if over the
150 foot threshold) under the dam foot-print and any outlet stabilization.
SECTION VI -AVOIDANCE AND MINIMIZATION
Avoidance and minimization are critical aspects of an application particularly if you desire the application
to be processed expeditiously. The following is a check-list of avoidance and minimization questions that
DWQ Staff often look for in applications.
414-i o,aArian PI a rt, Ul/ Are there any stream crossings at angles less than 75° or greater than 105°?
lgec+iOn W_ N
'Aft C)q,} o 11 Q IQLn r i/ Are there any stream crossings that cross two streams above or at the confluence of those
Se ct16 n N-4 streams?
?IwCe aA Plan , 1/ Are there any stream, wetland, water, and/or buffer impacts other. than perpendicular road

Can cul de sacs be used in place of a crossing?
1 rlClUO i [/ Can lots be reshaped or have shared driveways to avoid impacts?
its Qfb? c G?
If based solely on the practicable physical possibility, the answer is "yes" to any of the above questions
then you must have to provide substantial and convincing justification as to why the impacts are
necessary. If the impacts are required by a local government or other agency the claim must be
supported with appropriate written documentation from the local government or other agency. Most
projects typically involve the need to justify avoidance and minimization. If this information is not readily
available, then the express review process may not be the appropriate venue to use because the project
may be put on hold at the end of the process. Providing alternative plans (such as plans that avoid the
impact, minimize the impact and the preferred plan, similar those used in environmental assessments)
and explanations as to why the preferred plan is needed and why the alternative plans won't work are
many times helpful in the no practical alternatives review.
SECTION VIII - MITIGATION
Mitigation for the Express Review Program, final mitigation plans must be presented up front. The final
plans (except for plans that propose payment into the Wetlands Restoration Fund, Riparian Buffer
Restoration Fund, private mitigation banks, or similar banking instruments) must contain detailed plans,
specifications, calculations and other supporting data that show that the appropriate mitigation will be
achieved at the ratios required. The design plans must be developed to at least the "90%" level.
Monitoring plans must be final and specific. Any means of permanent protection, such as a permanent
conservation easement must be provided. If you elect to use the WRP or a private mitigation bank, it is
10
recommended that you request the maximum possible mitigation amount that DWQ may require so that
you will not have to get further approval from them on short notice. The WRP and private banks are not
part of the expedited review process and cannot be expected to meet any such deadlines. There will be
no conditional expedited approvals that require final plans at a later date. It is not recommended that
innovative mitigation techniques or greater than 10% preservation be requested as part of an expedited
process.
SECTION IX
if your project requires the preparation of an environmental document under NEPA or SEPA and an
approval letter has not been issued by the State Clearinghouse, then you cannot apply under the
expedited review process. I t is your responsibility to find out if such documentation is required.
SECTION X
There are many aspects of the Buffer Rules that must be addressed in every application, if applicable.
The first and most important thing to keep in mind is that allowable activities that require written Approval
from DWQ triggers a review of the entire project for compliance with the Buffer Rules.
Diffuse Flow S Stormwater Management:
)OeS r)Or `Jm f m. c>f 67 The most common issues that arise involve the requirement for diffuse flow of stormwater
?? r i? b?fC through riparian buffers. Basically one of three things must be indicated in regards to all
°new" stormwater that is collected and subsequently discharged. First, provisions for
diffuse flow through the protected buffer must be made. This usually involves the use of
level spreading devices designed to the latest DWQ guidance on level spreader design,
which is available on our web site. Please keep in mind that it does not matter how far a
discharge point is from a buffer. The stormwater must be flowing in a diffuse manner at
whatever point it eventually reaches the buffer. If the stormwater will not be flowing in a
diffuse manner through the protected buffer at the point it reaches the buffer, then one of
the following options may be allowed:
You may provide a nitrogen removing measure such as a forested filter strip,
grassed swale, stormwater wetland, etc. The measure employed should be
designed according to the NC DENR Stormwater Best Management Practices
Manual or other DWQ Guidance available at httv-
1/h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetiands/mitresto.html. After the nitrogen is treated, the
stormwater can be directly conveyed through the buffer with written DWQ approval.
You may discharge the stormwater to an existing man-made conveyance that
currently conveys stormwater through the protected buffer (assuming the
conveyance was not constructed in violation of the Rules) as long as that
conveyance does not need to be altered to convey the flow. Please remember that
there are no other choices. The following checklist is intended to help insure that
your application will not be deemed incomplete as a result of improper stormwater
design.
Stormwater Management (for Buffer Rules compliance only - Also, see Section XQ:
r3 o b?rc G? All stormwater out-falls must be clearly shown and labeled on the site plan for projects in
1 Buffered watersheds. List each out-fall as labeled:
ii?3Q?? 2«-hrLl.?
V Option 1: Level spreading devices designed to the latest DWQ Guidance, and
NIN devices that merely control velocity but do not provide diffuse flow such as rip rap
dissipators are not proposed. List each of these out-falls as labeled on the site
plan and provide a DWQ worksheet available at
http://h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetiands/mitresto.htmi:

MIN V Option 2: Nitrogen removing measures designed to DWQ Standards are
proposed for discharges for which diffuse flow through a protected Buffer cannot be
met. List each of these out-falls as labeled on the site plan and provide a DWQ
worksheet available at http://h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetiandstmitresto.html:
Option 3: The stormwater will be discharged to an existing man-made (not
including modified natural channels) conveyance that carries the stormwater
through the Buffer. The conveyance was not constructed in violation of the Buffer
Rules. List each out-fall as labeled:
??t,? M ?r;}p{cas1 All stormwater out-fall must meet one of the options above. (Note: if you cannot check this
not box your application will likely not be accepted into the express review process.)
S?or rwwca.?-?
-J e-d Site Plans:
;tariebn" r ,1 All applications on properties with DWQ protected buffers must clearly depict the buffers
g
914,05, Shunts ?-? and any impacts to the buffers on the site plans. The impact maps should clearly depict
both zones of the protected buffers and the proposed impact areas (provided in square
feet).
Surface Water & Buffer Delineations:
Serbb?i ??g; p v` Any surface waters subject to DWQ protected buffers must be field located and accurately
J depicted on the site plans and impact maps. The width, dimensions and pattern of the
Q`q?.s t Ss (-? surface water must be delineated. The surface water location must not be taken simply
from a USGS map, soil survey or local municipality's map. The buffers must be measured
from the surface water as required within the applicable buffer protection rule (e.g., all
buffers along streams subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule must be measured from the "top-of-
bank" of the stream and not the centerline of the stream). All streams must be surveyed or
located by GPS and shown precisely on the site plans.
Impact Table:
P A q r QFI oi-k %41 I1 Please provide additional impact tables that clearly state the area of impact for each
t\+ corresponding impact site.
Variances:
N? Projects that require the Minor and "General" Variances may be eligible for the use of the
Express Review Program. However, Major Variances are not eligible. If your project
requires a Minor or "General" Variance approval, then be sure to attach a completed Minor
or "General" Variance application.
Mitigation:
;for ebridt?. s+lVatM 2' As opposed to applications that are submitted under our regular process, final mitigation
plans must be presented up front (see requirements for Section VIII above). The mitigation
Q? plans must comply with the applicable buffer mitigation rule.
SECTION XI - STORMWATER
Please provide the following information in regards to potential stormwater requirements:
Qe1 ???? L' The total acreage of the site. I__ 1 to (acres)
N&j l
eX?u?fi?te SuMr
12
The total built-out impervious acreage Q (acres)
>?7 The total area that will be disturbed V- ( L0 (acres)
NIA If the total area exceeds 20% imperviousness, the development on the site is uniform in
density, and you are claim that the total impervious area is less than 30%, you must
provide a complete, detailed breakdown of the assumed built-out conditions. The
breakdown must be detailed enough to show that all potential impervious areas are
accounted for.
NIA i,( If there are concentrated areas of development such as multi-family, commercial, cluster,
club houses, etc. that exceed 30% imperviousness and the total imperviousness for the site
does not exceed 30%, a stormwater management plan will likely be required for those
areas that exceed 30% imperviousness.
17 Stormwater management plans must be complete with a final design and an executed
Operation and Maintenance Agreement. There will be no conditional stormwater approvals
for the express review process that allow for approval of the final plans at a later date.
Worksheets must be provided that are available at
hftp://h2o.ehnr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/mitresto.html.
SECTION XII - SEWAGE DISPOSAL
s?i?1(.1CA'?'?d?^l
,+Tt n ('K% ?/jk V Response must be clear and detailed. Any disposal method that suggests further impacts
Jp cc Vq 04e, may be required other than those shown must be clearly addressed on the site plans.
AcgoS X t'ac"sd"
SECTION XIII
QCN )U11 I/ Answering yes to either of these responses automatically precludes you from the express
review process.
SECTIO-N/XIV -SIGNATURE
pco Qcw& -7 hY The name, position and/or title of the applicant must be in type or long hand script here with
the signature. It should be the same person as described in Part II.
When applying to use a General Certification it is important to review every condition of the Certification
to determine whether or not your project can and will meet all of the conditions. For each Certification for
which you have applied, you must list the number of each condition and specifically where the information
is provided in the application or how and why the condition will or will not be met if not otherwise
described in the application. The following format is provided for GC 3402 as an example:
? GC 3for Nationwide Permit
'
21-7 -7

Remember, N/A by itself is not an acceptable answer. You must explain why you think something does
not apply.
If you have any questions about these requirements, please email the Express Review Program at
[e-mail] and include your question and phone number and the appropriate staff will
respond as soon as possible.
