This law changed the application of the Neuse Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 02B.0233) and Tar - Pamlico Riparian Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 02B.0259). The new law and related rule changes apply only to the construction of single - family residences on existing lots located in the counties shown on the map below. i h j . r �F 'S �a-vAwuco; NEUSE NEUSE s Q TAR- PAMLICO For the session law's buffer rule changes to apply, all of the following requirements must be met: • The property must be in the Neuse or Tar - Pamlico river basin; • The property must meet the definition of an existing lot; • The development must be for the construction of a single - family residence and its nec- essary infrastructure; • And, construction of the single - family residence and its nec- essary infrastructure would otherwise be prevented by the Neuse or Tar - Pamlico Buffer Rules. If all of the previously listed requirements are met, what does that mean for my property? The protected riparian buffer has not changed with this law. However, a single - family home may potentially be built adjacent to a waterway or marsh if the following requirements are met: • The single - family residence must be set back the maxi- mum feasible distance from the top of the bank, the nor - i Y A .A%11 GLOSSARY OF TERMS Riparian Buffer Area of vegetated land next to a body of water.

How do I obtain approval to apply the provisions of the session law to my property? If you meet all of the requirements outlined in this document and wish to apply the session law provisions to your property, please contact the N.C. Division of Water Quality regional office nearest your property's location. Division staff will verify that all requirements of the law have been met and will evaluate whether the No Practical Alternatives requirement of the Neuse and Tar - Pamlico Buffer Rules has been met.
