BUFFER AUTHORIZATION CERTIFICATE FOR SHORELINE STABILIZATION
A riparian buffer authorization is required for shoreline stabilization activities within the Neuse and Tar-Pamlico River
basins per Division of Water Resources(DWR) regulations 15A NCAC 02B.0233 and 0259. The Division of Coastal
Management(DCM)through a Memorandum of Understanding with the Division of Water Resources(DWR) has
reviewed your project proposal and has determined that the project as proposed complies with the aforementioned
regulations.
Those activities covered by your Coastal Area Management Act(CAMA) permit have received Buffer Authorization
provided the project is constructed in a manner that continues to meet all of the conditions listed below.Failure to �.
comply with this Buffer Authorization may subject the property owner and the a p rty(contractor) performing the
construction and/or land clearing to a civil penalty by DWR of up to$25,000 per day per violation.
i. Impacts: impacts to woody vegetation from clearing and filling in Zone 1(begins at the most landward of either
normal water line(NWL)or normal high water line(NHWL)and extends 30 feet landward)shall be minimized to
what must be impacted for the sound installation of the shoreline stabilization project. Unnecessary clearing and
filling in the buffer is a violation of the riparian buffer rules.
2. Clearing&Grading:Clearing and grading of Zone 2 (begins at the landward edge of Zone 1 and extends 20 feet
landward) is allowed provided that it is re-vegetated immediately and Zone 1 is not compromised,which includes
maintaining diffused (non-channelized)flow of storm water runoff through the buffer.
3. Construction Corridors:Construction corridors are allowed for shoreline stabilization projects, but they must be
satisfactorily restored as described in condition 5 below.
4. Potential Overwash: For vertical shoreline stabilization projects(bulkheads)only;sites where wave overwasn is
expected to be severe,the first ten (10)feet landward(unless specifically authorized otherwise by DCM)from the
structure may be maintained as a stable lawn in order to provide for structural stability.
s. Temporary Stabilization: Immediately post-construction, bare soils must be stabilized as quickly as possible by
providing a temporary ground cover. Newly seeded areas should be protected with mulch and/or erosion matting.
This ground cover is a temporary measure used to address erosion until site restoration can be accomplished.
a. Site Restoration:At minimum,pre-project site conditions must be re-established.A site that was wooded prior to •
this shoreline stabilization project must be restored with woody vegetation at a stem density of 260 stems per acre.
Non wooded sites may be re-vegetated with woody vegetation. Restoration must be completed by the ffrst
subsequent planting season (Nov ber 1 through March 30)after completion of the bulkhea .

indicating the location of the shoreline stabilization structure and any associated clearing,grading,and construction
corridors.This drawing will be used to aid in compliance and monitoring efforts.

TIPS FOR ADJACENT RIPARIAN OWNER NOTIFICATION &WAIVER FORMS
CAMA Regulations require notice of proposed development to the Adjacent Riparian Property Owners(15A
NCAC 7J.0204(b)(5)). Proof of actual notice (a sign-off by the owner on this form) or certified mail return
receipts (showing delivery of notice)are needed.
The purpose of this notice is to make adjacent riparian property owners aware of the proposed development
so that they have an opportunity to provide comments (or potentially object to) the proposed development,
and to give DCM an opportunity to consider these comments/objections before a permit decision is made.
"Permission" of adjacent property owners is not necessarily required for DCM to issue a permit; however,
permission must be obtained for certain types of proposed developments if they fall within a 15'setback area
along the riparian access area of the adjacent property, as determined solely by DCM. It is in the applicant's
best interest to provide comprehensive and accurate notice so that any concerns or objections can be
resolved early in the permit review process. In addition, if the adjacent riparian property owner appeals the
permit decision, insufficient notice could be a basis for granting such an appeal.
Who is an Adjacent Riparian Property Owner?
What is Adjacent? (Note: DCM reads this broadly to ensure comment by potentially impacted neighbors)
• A property that shares a boundary line with the site of proposed development; AND
• A property that fronts a natural or manmade waterbody that is connected to coastal waters and
can support some form of navigation, even a kayak or canoe, including a common canal system
or a manmade basin.
• Easement holders? Yes, if the easement could be impacted by the proposed development.
• Streets/Roads? Only if the street/road could be impacted by the proposed development. This
might include street-ends which might be used for parking and beach access.
• Holders of recognized submerged lands claims/shellfish franchises.
What is Riparian?
Do the boundaries of the adjacent property legally intersect with the water at mean high tide? If there is a
question about whether an adjacent property is considered "riparian," please reach out to DCM Staff -
especially on the oceanfront beach where there may be undeveloped parcels on the beach or in the water.
Who/What is a Property Owner?
For private individuals(or families), send notice to the address listed on the tax card. If the property is owned
by an Inc. or LLC, please send notice to the person listed as the registered agent on the NC Secretary of
State's Corporations Look Up site: https://www.sosnc.gov/search/index/corp. For Condominiums or
neighborhoods with an owners' association (HOA/POA), send notice to the association (which is usually a
corporation, for which you send notice to its registered agent).
What is Notice, and how do I ensure it is received?
• You can meet with your adjacent property owner, provide a description or drawing of the
proposed development, and ask them to sign this form and return it to DCM; OR
• You can hand-deliver this form and a description or drawing, and ask your neighbor to return it to
DCM (consider providing them with a stamped envelope); OR
• You can mail this form by USPS Certified Mail, return receipt requested (the Green Card). If you
choose this option, you must provide either the signed & returned green card OR track the
certified mail package number on USPS.GOV's online tracking system, and provide the tracking
print-out as proof of delivery to DCM
If you have any questions about this process, please reach out to DCM Staff and DCM Legal Counsel
and we will work to answer your questions.
