1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Cypress Creek Renewables (CCR) requested Land Management Group, Inc. (LMG) to delineate
wetlands and streams within the Phobos Solar, LLC site and obtain a Preliminary Jurisdictional
Determination (PJD) from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The 477-acre assessment area
is located at 3602 Frazier Road, to the north of Middlesex, North Carolina 27557 (Figures 1 and 2).
This delineation was performed following the 1987 USACE Wetland Delineation Manual and its
2010 Regional Supplement. Identification of streams was conducted using the NC Division of Water
Quality version 4.11 Method for Identification of Intermittent and Perennial Streams and Their
Origins.
LMG staff performed the delineation and submitted a PJD request package for the site to Ms.
Samantha Dailey of the USACE. Ms. Dailey met LMG staff on the site on March 20, 2018 and field
verified the delineation with no changes. Approximately 430 acres of the property were
determined to be uplands, comprising 90% of the tract. Approximately 41 acres of the site were
delineated as Section 404 wetlands, which comprised 9% of the site. Approximately 6 acres of
jurisdictional open water were also delineated, comprising 1% of the site. Approximately 8,780
linear feet of perennial streams, 3,492 linear feet of intermittent streams and 171 linear feet of
non -stream Waters of the U.S. were also identified on the site. Gary Kreiser of the NC Division of
Water Resources confirmed the limits of perennial and intermittent streams that are subjecttothe
Neuse River Buffer Rules within the site.
2.0 INTRODUCTION
2.1 Delineation Task Purpose
The purpose of the delineation task was to identify potential Section 404 wetlands and waters.
These jurisdictional wetlands and waters, along with potential setbacks and buffers, may restrict
solarfacility use within the tract. When identifying potential Section 404 wetlands, LMG followed
the USACE 1987 Wetland Delineation Manual and recent modifications described within the
regional supplement. Three natural parameters must be examined and documented before
wetland conditions are met. Wetland hydrology evidence must be present to the extent that
saturated soil conditions are or have been present under normal climatic circumstances. This can
be shown by direct evidence of surface water and/or repeated shallow groundwater saturation
through the identification of both hydric soil characteristics and wetland plant growth. The scoping
and identification of these three parameters namely the water table, hydric soils, and wetland
plant growth must be documented on the required USACE data forms. This delineation task also
seeks to gain USACE approval to determine land use restrictions concerning regulated wetlands
and waters.

2.2 Site Location
The 477-acre assessment area is located at 3602 Frazier Road, to the north of Middlesex, North
Carolina 27557 (Figures 1 and 2). The site is located within the Neuse River Basin.
2.3 Site Description
The northeastern property boundary is bounded by Frazier Road and the eastern property
boundary is partially bounded by Old Nash Road. The southern tip of the site is bisected byValley
Road and the northwestern portion of the property is bounded by Prophecy Road. An overhead
electrical easement traverses northeast to southwest in the northwestern portion of the site. An
unimproved soil road enters the northeastern portion of the site off Frazier Road and provides
access to a tenant home and residential home located on the site.
The majority of the project area is forested, but there are some agricultural fields in the
northeastern, northwestern, and southern sections of the site. Several unnamed tributaries of
Turkey Creek run south and southwest through the northern and middle sections of the tract.
These channels have an adjacent wetland fringe that supports mostly loblolly pine (Pinus toedo),
red maple (Acer rubrum), and ironwood (Corpinus caroliniona) in the canopy and understory.
Channel widths varied between Tto 8'. The main channels that run through the middle of the site
contained approximately one foot of water during the field visits and had little flow. One farm
pond that appears to be dug out of a stream channel is present in the northeastern part of the
site. Forested uplands throughoutthe site supported a fairly mature canopy of oaks and hickory.
Some loblolly pine trees (Pinus toedo) are mixed within the hardwoods in the southern part of the
site. Additionally, a small stand of planted loblolly pine trees is located within the northwestern
part of the site. The stand is densely vegetated and most trees have a 6" to 8" diameter at breast
height (DBH).
2.4 Delineated Wetlands, Waters, and Streams
LMG evaluated the 477-acre site on April 18 th, 19th anc12 oth of 2017. The Section 404 wetlands and
waters delineated on the site as approved by the USACE are shown in the attached "Wetland
Delineation Map — post USACE verification" (Figure 4). Approximately 430 acres of the property
were determined to be uplands, comprising 90% of the tract. Approximately 41 acres of the site
were delineated as Section 404 wetlands, which comprised 9% of the site. Approximately 6 acres
of jurisdictional open water were also delineated, comprising 1% of the site.
Approximately 8,780 linearfeet of perennial streams, 3,492 linearfeet of intermittent streams and
171 linear feet of non -stream Waters of the U.S. were also identified on the site (Figure 4). Gary
Kreiser of the NC Division of Water Resources confirmed the limits of perennial and intermittent
streams that are subject to the Neuse River Buffer Rules within the site (Appendix B).

3.0 SUPPORTING PJD DOCUMENTATION
3.1 Topographic and LiDAR Maps
The site is located on the U.S.G.S. Bunn East, 1978 Topographic Quadrangle map sheet (Figure 5).
The elevation of the site ranges from 285 feet above mean sea level (msl) in the eastern portion of
the property and slopes down to 230 feet above msl in the central portion of the property along
the tributary to Turkey Creek. The elevation in the northwestern portion of the property ranges
from 270 feet above mean sea level (msl) and slopes down to 235 feet above msl in the central
portion of the site along the tributary to Turkey Creek. The elevation in the southern portion of
the property ranges from 250 feet above mean sea level (msl) and slopes down to 220 feet above
msl in the central portion of the site along the tributary to Turkey Creek. The tenant farming
house and an unimproved soil road present in the northeastern and north -central portions of the
site are depicted in the 1978 topographic map sheet. Other anthropogenic features shown in the
topographic map sheet are the pond located in the northeastern portion of the property and a
house located in the southern portion of the site along Valley Road. The majority of the site is
shaded green indicating that it was wooded in 1978. There are agricultural fields located in the
northeastern, southern and northwestern portions of the property. A few residential structures
are present adjacent to the site. The land use surrounding this rural site is either wooded and
undeveloped land or agricultural fields. The groundwater in the vicinity of the property is
interpreted to flow in a southern direction towards Turkey Creek.
The attached LiDAR map (Figure 6) shows several areas of low elevation located along the western,
central, and southern parts of the site. These low areas correspond to the riparian drainageways
delineated on site (tributaries of Turkey Creek).
3.2 NRCS Soil Series Map
According to the Nash County NRCS Soil Survey (Figures 7 and 8), the site is composed of nine soil
series: the Faceville (FaB) loamy sand; the Georgeville (GeB) loam; the Georgeville (GgB) gravelly
loam; the Goldsboro (GoA) loamy sand; the Nason (NnB) loam; the Norfolk (NoB) loamy sand; the
Norfolk-Georgeville and Faceville (NrB) soils; the Rains (RaA) fine sandy loam; and Wehadkee (Wh)
loam.
The Faceville series is well drained and nearly level to gently sloping. It is on ridges and side slopes
mainly in the west central part of the county. Typically, the surface layer is yellowish brown loamy
sand underlain by a yellowish red sandy clay loam in the subsoil. The Georgeville series is well
drained and gently sloping. It is on convex ridgetops. The surface layer is typically red loam 6
inches thick and the subsoil is red silty clay loam. The Goldsboro series is moderately well drained
and nearly level. It is found on the broad, smooth divides of the coastal plain and in upland
depressions in more dissected landscapes. The surface layer is typically dark grayish brown fine
sandy loam 10 inches thick and the subsoil is sandy clay loam. The Nason series is well drained and
gently sloping. It is on broad ridgetops. The surface layer is brown loam 5 inches thick and the
Wetland & Stream Delineation Summary Report

Middlesex, Nash County, NC 27557
subsoil it a strong brown clay loam and reddish yellow silty clay loam. The Norfolk series is well
drained and nearly level. It is found on broad interstrearn divides of coastal plain uplands.
Typically, the surface layer is grayish brown loamy sand and is underlain bya subsurface layerthat
is pale brown sandy loam. The Norfolk-Georgeville and Faceville map unit consists of soilsthat are
well drained and gently sloping to moderately sloping. These soils are found on ridges and side
slopes. The Rains series is poorly drained and nearly level. It is found on the lowest landscape
position of broad, smooth uplands of the coastal plain and in the depressions of dissected
landscapes. The surface layer is generallyvery clarkgrayfine sandy loam and the subsurface layer
is light brownish gray sandy loam. The Wehadkee series is poorly drained and nearly level. It is on
low floodplains along streams. The surface layer is typically grayish brown loam and the subsoil is
light gray and gray sandy clay loam with brown, yellow, and gray mottles. Wetlands within the
project area contain soils generally corresponding to the Wehadkee and Rains soil series
description.
3.3 Study Area Data Forms
The 404 wetland determination data forms are included within Appendix A. LIVIG completed a total
of eight forms for this site: four in uplands and four in wetlands. The data forms were paired, with
the upland and wetland data points taken in the same general area but on opposite sides of the
wetland line. Four pairs of data points were selected to represent each general wetland type and
to spatially represent the site. Three of the four wetland data forms recorded both primary and
secondary indicators of wetland hydrology. One wetland data form only listed primary indicators.
The water levels at the wetland data points ranged from 1 inch below the ground surface to 16
inches below the soil surface. The soil profiles for the wetland data points met the hydric soil
criteria for depleted below dark surface, depleted matrix, and/or umbric surface. Two of the four
upland data points did not meet any of the three wetland criteria. The other two upland data
points supported hydrophytic vegetation but lacked hydric soils and hydrology.
4.0 PRELIMINARY JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION

4.2 Stream Buffer, Setbacks, and Water Quality Issues
The site is located outside of any town or city limits. LMG contacted Ms. Nancy Nixon, Planning
Director with Nash County, on July 11, 2017 and asked Ms. Nixon if the County has any
environmental setbacks/buffers off of wetlands or streams. Ms. Nixon replied that the County
does not have any required setbacks or buffers for streams orwetlands otherthan the 50' riparian
buffers from surface waters (Appendix Q. Note that the Nash County Unified Development
Ordinance (1999) states that a minimum 30' riparian buffer for new development activities is
required off of perennial waters (Appendix Q.
The site is located in the Neuse River Basin. The NC Division of Water Resources (NC DWR)
implements riparian buffer rules for the Neuse River Basin. Under these rules, a 50-ft buffer is
imposed from the top -of -bank of intermittent streams, perennial streams, lakes, ponds, estuaries
and modified natural streams that are depicted on USGS topographic maps or NRCS soils maps.
This 50-ft buffer is broken up into two zones; Zone 1 and Zone 2. Zone 1 consists of the first 30-ft
from top -of -bank. In Zone 1 trees can be selectively limbed by hand, but the topping of healthy
trees in Zone 1 is prohibited. Nuisance/invasive vegetation may be removed by hand. Zone 2 (the
outer 20-ft of the 50-ft stream riparian buffer) can be maintained as whatever vegetation is
desired, it just must be vegetated. If impacts to the buffer are needed, a riparian buffer permit
from the NC DWR may be required. Gary Kreiser of the NC DWR has verified that intermittent and
perennial streams on -site are subject to riparian buffer requirements under the Neuse River Buffer
Rules (Figure 4; Appendix B).
Note that state sedimentation and erosion control plans will need to be submitted to the regional
field office of NC Department of Environmental Quality (NC DEQ) before any land disturbance
activity is initiated. Sedimentation control to minimize turbidity of adjacent surface waters will be a
likely water quality concern.
5.0 MISCELLANEOUS MAPS
5.1 FEMA Flood Zone Map
The FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map for this portion of Nash County is attached as Figure 9. The
FEMA National Flood Insurance Program map for this area shows that the site lies outside of any
mapped flood hazard areas.
5.2 NWI Map
The National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) Map is attached as Figure 10. The map shows one large
wetland drainagewaythat runs alongthe western and central parts of the site, which is classified
as PFo1A. This classification corresponds to Palustrine Forested, Broad -Leaved Deciduous,
Temporary Flooded. A small wetland pocket is located in the northeastern portion of the site and
is classified as PUBHh. This classification represents Palustrine Unconsolidated Bottom
Permanently Flooded, Diked/Impounded and corresponds to the pond on site. Another wetland
pocket is located adjacent to the pond and is classified as PFo1Ch. This classification stands for

Middlesex, Nash County, NC 27557
Palustrine Forested, Broad -Leaved Deciduous, Seasonally Flooded, Diked/Impounded. The NWI
Map should be considered a general land use planning tool.
5.3 Roads, Culverts, Ponds, and Ditches
There are several access points off of Frazier Road, Valley Road, Old Nash Road, and Prophecy
Road that lead into the agricultural fields located on the site. Photo Stations 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 11
show some of the dirt roads that provide access (Figure 4). Most of these roads have culverts.
Photo Station 16 depicts a pipe that separates an intermittent stream and a pond.
There is one pond on the site, which is located within an intermittent stream in the northeastern
part of the site (PS 16 & 17). Six perennial streams are located throughout the site and are
tributaries of Turkey Creek. The perennial streams are approximately 8,780 linear feet, 5 — 8 feet
wide, and 2 feet deep. Approximately 3,492 LF of intermittent streams that are 2 - 3 feet wide and
2 feet deep exist throughout the site. Finally, approximately 171 LF of a jurisdictional ditch (WoUS)
is located in the northeastern part of the site. This ditch is 2 feet wide and 1 foot deep.

jurisdictional Determination Request
F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One)
ZI am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminar JD for the property identified herein.
A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) provides an indication that there may
be "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United States"on a property.
PJDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. For the purposes of permitting, all
waters and wetlands on the property will be treated as if they are jurisdictional "waters of
the United States". PJDs cannot be appealed (33 C.F.R. 331.2); however, a PJD is
44preliminary" in the sense that an approved JD can be requested at any time. PJDs do
not expire.
F] I am requesting that the Corps provide an qWroved JD for the property identified herein.
An Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) is a determination that
jurisdictional "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United
States" are either present or absent on a site. An approved JD identifies the limits of
waters on a site determined to be jurisdictional under the Clean Water Act and/or
Rivers and Harbors Act. Approved JDs are sufficient as the basis for permit
decisions. AJDs are appealable (33 C.F.R. 331.2). The results of the AJD will be
posted on the Corps website. A landowner, permit applicant, or other "affected
party" (33 C.F.R. 331.2) who receives an AJD may rely upon the AJD for five years
(subject to certain limited exceptions explained in Regulatory Guidance Letter 05-
02).
F] I am unclear as to which JD I would like to request and require additional information
to inform my decision.
G. ALL REQUESTS

1 ) The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in
the review area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option
to request and obtain an approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an
informed decision after having discussed the various types of JDs and their
characteristics and circumstances when they may be appropriate.
2) In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a
Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre -
construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non -reporting NWP or
other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an AJD for the
activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware that: (1) the permit applicant has
elected to seek a permit authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an
official determination of jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the
option to request an AJD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit
authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an AJD could possibly result
in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) the
applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting the terms
and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4) the applicant can
accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with all the terms and
conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has
determined to be necessary; (5) undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject
permit authorization without requesting an AJD constitutes the applicant's acceptance
of the use of the PJD; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered
individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit
authorization based on a PJD constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the
review area affected in any way by that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and
waives any challenge to such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance
or enforcement action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7)
whether the applicant elects to use either an AJD or a PJD, the JD will be processed
as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms
and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively
appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an administrative appeal, it
becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographic
jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official
delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will
provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds
that there "may be"waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be" navigable waters of
the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review
area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following
information:

Subject: RE: Nash County - Wetland Buffer Question
Date: Tuesday, 3uly 11, 2017 5:01:34 PIVI
Wes,
We don't have local environmental buffer requirements other than the 50' riparian buffers from
surface streams, etc. the panels would need to meet normal setbacks in the appropriate zoning
district and we have a screening requirement if any part of the array is within 100 feet of a property
zoned or used residentially.
Is your site in Nash County's jurisdiction? We have a number of towns with separate rules for solar
facilities and may also have their own buffer rules.
Please let me know if you have additional questions.

Subject: Nash County - Wetland Buffer Question
Hi Ms. Nixon,
I am an environmental consultant out of Wilmington, NC and have a question regarding the county
rules in regards to setbacks/buffers off of wetlands and/or surface waters. We are working on a
potential solar site in Nash County & wanted to know if there are any environmental setbacks &/or
buffers off of ditches, streams, ponds, or wetlands. If so, what are they? I am aware of the Tar -Pam
River buffers, but want to know if there are specifically any additional county buffers/setbacks to be
aware of. Thank you for your time and assistance!

(2) All built -upon area shall be designed and located to minimize stormwater
runoff impact to the receiving waters and minimize concentrated
stormwater flow.
(3) The remainder of the tract not built upon shall remain in a vegetated or
natural state. The title to the reserved open space area shall be
conveyed to an incorporated homeowners or property owners
association for management; to a local government for preservation as a
park or open space; or to a conservation organization for preservation in
a permanent easement. Where a property association is not
incorporated, a maintenance agreement shall be filed with the property
deeds.
12-1.7 Buffer Areas
(A) A minimum thirty-foot vegetative buffer for new development activities is
required along all perennial waters indicated on the most recent versions of
USGS 1:24,000 (7.5 minute) scale topographic maps or as determined by local
government studies. A minimum one hundred foot vegetative buffer is required
for all new development activities that utilize the high density development
option authorized by Section 12-1.12. Desirable artificial streambank or
shoreline stabilization is permitted.
(B) No new development is allowed in the buffer except for water -dependent
structures, other structures such as flag poles, signs and security lights which
result in only diminutive increases in impervious areas, and public projects such
as road crossings and greenways where no practicable alternative exists.
These activities should minimize built -upon surface area, direct runoff away
from the surface waters and maximize the utilization of stormwater Best
Management Practices. Desirable artificial streambank or shoreline stabilization
is permitted.
(C) Whenever the buffer requirements of other portions of this Ordinance are in
conflict with the provisions of this Section, the more stringent requirement shall
apply.
12-1.8 Existing Development
(A) Existing development, as defined in Section 2-4, is not subject to the provisions
of the watershed overlay district requirements. Redevelopment of and
expansion to existing development is allowed as provided for herein.
(B) Redevelopment of existing development is allowed if the rebuilding activity does
not result in a net increase in built -upon area or if the redevelopment activity
includes equal or greater stormwater control than the previous development.
However, existing single-family residential development may be redeveloped
without any restrictions.
(C) Expansions to uses and structures classified as existing development must
meet the requirements of this Section provided, however, that the built -upon

the cost of inspection and maintenance if the BMPs are not properly
maintained and certified.
(D) Contact Information
1 . Name and address of the person or organization financially
responsible for maintenance specified in the annual inspection report.
2. Emergency contact information.
12-3.3.14 Failure to Comply with the Provisions of the Maintenance Agreement
Any violation of the Maintenance agreement shall be considered a violation of the
Unified Development Ordinance and shall be enforced in accordance with Article
Xil Section 12-3 6. In addition, if the situation meets the definition of a nuisance as
defined in NCGS 153A-140 other corrective actions may be taken.
12-3.3.15 Financial Security for Stormwater Control Structures
All new stormwater control structures shall be conditioned on the posting of
adequate financial assurance for the purpose of maintenance, repairs or
reconstruction necessary for adequate performance of the stormwater control
structures and shall be done so as required in Section 12-1.14.
12-3.3.16 Requirement of Sealed Drawings for Stormwater Facilities
Developers shall be required to submit the following sealed as -built drawings:
• Drawings of any new or addition to a stormwater conveyance by a private
developer;
• Drawings of all development sites to determine compliance with the
. approved plan" and the requirements of the Tar -Pamlico Overlay District.
• As -built plans of each BMP along with a statement under seal that the BMP
as constructed complies with the approved plans and the UDO.
12-3.3.17 Amendments and Variances to the Tar -Pam Overlay District Regulations
The county may not amend the program or grant a variance in a manner that fails to
meet the minimum requirements of the rule without prior approval from DWQ.
12-3.4 RIPARIAN BUFFER REGULATIONS
Riparian buffers shall be protected because in most cases they provide a measure
of protection for surface waters by removal of nutrients from nonpoint sources. The
riparian buffer regulations are intended to protect and preserve existing riparian
buffers and maintain their nutrient removal functions within the county's river
basins.
12-3.4.1 General Requirements
All of the regulations delineated in Section 12-3.4 are intended to comply with the
requirements of 15A NCAC 2B .0259. All property located in Nash County outside
of any municipal boundary or extraterritorial jurisdiction shall comply with the
riparian buffer regulations.
12-3.4.2 Applicability
Nash County UDO—Article 12
October 5, 1998
12-50
a. The Riparian Buffer regulations shall apply to all areas of the county outside of
any municipal boundary or its extraterritorial jurisdiction.
b. Riparian Buffer Exemption — Existing and ongoing uses within the riparian
buffer, if present as of January 1, 2000, may be exempt from the riparian buffer
protection requirements according to the provisions outlined in 15A NCAC 02B
.0259. Proposed developments, which have county approval, but have not
been constructed as of January 1, 2000, may not claim an exemption to the
riparian buffer protection requirements.
12-3.4.3 Definitions
DWQ — Division of Water Quality, NC Department of Environment and Natural
Resources.
Riparian Buffe — An area within 50' of intermittent and perennial streams, ponds,
lakes and estuarine waters in the basin where development is not allowed. These
areas are shown on either the USGS 7.5 minute topographic map or the NRCS Soil
Survey map unless the owner can show that the activity has been approved by
DWQ. Certain allowable uses within the buffer are described in 15A NCAC 2B
.0259.
12-3.4.4 Riparian Buffer Protection
The purpose of this regulation is to protect and preserve existing riparian buffers to
maintain their nutrient removal functions in the entire Tar -Pamlico River Basin. As
required by 15A NCAC 02B .0259, a fifty -foot (50') wide riparian buffer shall be
maintained directly adjacent to all perennial and intermittent streams, including
lakes, ponds and other bodies of water, excluding wetlands, as indicated on the
most recent version of the 1:24,000 scale (7 5 minutes) quadrangle topographic
maps prepared by the USGS and all other surface waters as indicated by the most
recent version of the Soil Survey for Nash County, North Carolina. Where obvious
conflicts exist between actual field conditions and USGS and county soil survey
maps, appeals may be made to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality.
12-3.4.5 Delineation of Buffer Zones
The buffer is divided into two zones, moving landward from the surface water, that
are afforded different levels of protection. Zone 1, the first 30 feet, is to remain
essentially undisturbed, while Zone 2, the outer 20 feet, must be vegetated but may
be managed in certain ways, such as grading and revegetating provided that the
health of the vegetation in Zone 1 is not compromised. Zones are specifically
described in 15 NCAC 02B.0259 (4)(a and b).
For intermittent and perennial streams, Zone 1 begins at the most landward limit of
the top of the bank or the rooted herbaceous vegetation and extending landward a
distance of 30 feet on all sides of the surface water, measured horizontally on a line
perpendicular to the surface water
Nash County UDO—Article 12
October 5, 1998 12-51
For ponds lakes and reservoirs located within a natural drainage way, Zone 1 shall
begin at the most landward limit of the normal water level or the rooted herbaceous
vegetation and extend landward a distance of 30 feet, measured horizontally on a
line perpendicular to the surface water.
Zone 2 shall begin at the outer edge of Zone 1 and extend landward 20 feet as
measured horizontally on a line perpendicular to the surface water. The combined
width of Zones 1 and 2 shall be 50 feet on all sides of the surface water.
12-3.4.6 Activity Within the Buffer
Activity may take place within any riparian buffer zone as defined by 15A NCAC
02B .0259 subject to approval from DWQ. No development proposal that includes
impact to the riparian buffer shall be approved by Nash County unless it includes
one of the following:
• Certifications from DWQ that surface waters are not present as determined
by an on -site inspection.
• An Authorization Certificate from DWQ for an "allowable" use such as a road
crossing or utility line, or for a use that is "allowable with mitigation" along
with a Division -approved mitigation plan has been obtained.
• A documented opinion from DWQ that a vested right has been established
for the proposed development activity.
• A letter from DWQ documenting that a variance has been approved for the
proposed development activity.
12-3.4.7 Buffers Depicted on Development Plans
Required riparian buffers shall be shown on all plats and/or site plans submitted
with a note indicating the protected nature of the buffer and how diffuse flow is to be
maintained. When required by the Planning Board, the placement of "no mow"
signs shall be required to relay the buffer protection to the public.
12-3.4.8 Variances to the Riparian Buffer Rule
Requests for variances to the Riparian Buffer Rule shall be directed to, and
approval sought from, the Division of Water Quality, DENR.
12-3.5 CONTROL OF ILLEGAL DISCHARGES
The Tar -Pamlico River Basin Model Stormwater Program for Nutrient Control
requires that local governments establish the legal authority to control illegal
discharges. The objectives of this article are to:
(A) Regulate the discharge of substances, which may contaminate or cause
pollution of stormwater, stormwater conveyances, or waters of the State;
(B) Regulate connections to the stormwater conveyance system;
(C) Provide for the proper handling of spills; and
(D) Provide for the enforcement of same.
Nash County UDO—Article 12
October 5, 1998 12-52
the development may not begin (and no building permits may be issued)
until the Commission approves the erosion control plan.
(B) For purposes of this Section, 'land disturbing activity' means any use of the land
by any person in residential, industrial, educational, institutional or commercial
development, highway and road construction and maintenance that results in a
change in the natural cover or topography and that may cause or contribute to
sedimentation except activities that are exempt under NCGS 113A-52(6)).
Sedimentation occurs whenever solid particulate matter, mineral or organic, is
transported by water, air, gravity, or ice from the site of its origin.
12-5 COORDINATION WITH THE US ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS REGARDING
WETLANDS
If a developer, corporation, private landowner or other person proposes to perform
construction/filling activities in or near a lake, stream, creek, tributary or any unnamed
body of water and its adjacent wetlands, Federal permit authorization may be required
from the US Army Corps of Engineers prior to commencement of earth -disturbing
activities. The US Army Corps of Engineers shall be notified by the developer or
person proposing such earth -disturbing activities for possible issuance of Section 404
or other permits.
12-6 AIRPORT OVERLAY DISTRICT REQUIRMENTS
It is the intent of this Section to restrain influences which are adverse to the property and
safe conduct of aircraft operations in the vicinity of Rocky Mount Wilson Airport, to prevent
creation of conditions hazardous to aircraft operation, to prevent conflict with land
development which may result in loss of life and property, and to encourage development
which is compatible with airport use characteristics within the intent and purpose of zoning.
To this end, the "AO" designation, when appended to a basic district classification is
intended to coordinate the purpose and intent of this Section with other regulations duly
established by Nash County whose primary intent is to further the purposes set out above.
12-6.1 Definitions
As used in this Section, unless the context otherwise requires�
(a) AIRPORT- Means the Rocky Mount -Wilson Airport.
(b) AIRPORT ELEVATION - The highest point of landing areas, measured in feet above
mean sea level is 158.0'.
(c) APPROACH SURFACE- A surface longitudinally centered on the extended runway
centerline, extending outward and upward from the end of the primary surface and at the
same slope as the approach zone height limitation slope set forth in Section (E). In plan,
the perimeter of the approach surface coincides with the perimeter of the approach zone.
(d) APPROACH, TRANSITIONAL, HORIZONTAL, AND CONICAL ZONES- These zones
are set forth in Section 12-6.2.
