Diffuse Flow An additional condition is that all stormwater shall be directed as diffuse flow at non -erosive velocities through the protected stream buffers and will not re -concentrate before discharging into the stream as identified within 15A NCAC 02B .0259(5) or provide treatment via an approved stormwater BMP meeting the nutrient removal requirements established within 15A NCAC 02B .0259(a)(1)(2). For this project, diffuse flow can be accomplished through guttering of all roof drainages and directing their discharge to a point outside the entirety of the riparian buffer. 3. No Waste, Spoil, Solids, or Fill of Any Kind No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas beyond the footprint of the impacts depicted in the Buffer Authorization Application. All forestry operations activities shall be performed so that no violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur [15A NCAC 02H .0502 and .0502]. 4. The Permittee shall replant the vegetation within temporarily disturbed areas associated with this project in an "in kind" manner immediately following construction. (Example: Disturbed areas with pre-existing grassed lawns must be replanted with grass. Disturbed areas with pre-existing trees or woody vegetation must be replanted with trees and woody vegetation. Disturbed areas with pre-existing forest vegetation must be replanted with forest vegetation including at least two different native hardwood tree species at a density sufficient to provide 260 trees per acre at maturity. This density can usually be achieved by planting approximately 360 (11 x 11 spacing) to 538 (9 x 9 spacing) trees per acre.) Restoration of trees/shrubs/forest must be completed by the first subsequent planting season (November 1 through March 30). Note, if the tree plantings do not survive, they will need to be replaced such that the density is sufficient to provide 320 trees per acre at maturity.
