APPROVAL for the use of the "General" MAJOR VARIANCE; From the Neuse and Tar-Pamlico Riparian Buffer
Rules for the Construction of Residential Structures on Existing Lots within the Coastal Counties as defined by
the Coastal Area Management Act
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Martin:
You have our approval to impact approximately 218 fe of Zone 2 of the protected riparian buffers for the purpose of
constructing the proposed addition to your existing home on the subject property as described within your application
dated June 9, 2002 (received by the DWQ on June 14, 2002). This letter shall act as your approval for the use of the
"General" Major Variance; From the Neuse and Tar-Pamlico Riparian Buffer Rules for the Construction of Residential
Structures on Existing Lots within the Coastal Counties as defined by the Coastal Area Management Act with
ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS as approved by the Water Quality Committee (WQC) of the Environmental Management
Commission (EMC) on May 10, 2001. In addition, you should obtain any other required federal, state or local permits
before you proceed with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control regulations and CAMA
permits. This approval shall expire when the variance expires on April 11, 2006 unless it is renewed before that time by
the EMC. This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your variance. If you change your
project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new request for approval. If the property is sold, the
new owner must be given a copy of this approval and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this approval, you may ask for and adjudicatory hearing. You must act within
60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition that conforms to Chapter
150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh,
NC 27699-6714. This approval and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Protection Rules
(15A NCAC 2B .0233 (9)(b)). Please note that mitigation for the proposed impacts is not required (beyond planting the
five (5) additional trees as described within your variance request), since the project is eligible for the use of the Coastal
General Variance and you are not proposing any impacts to Zone 1. Please call Mr. Bob Zarzecki at 919-733-9726 or Ms.
Deborah Sawyer at 252-946-6481 if you have any questions or require copies of our rules or procedural materials.

I still haven't received WaRO comments on this project. Please provide comments as soon as possible. It
was originally received on June 14, 2002, but there was some mix up as indicated in the attached emails.
It's an addition to an existing structure. We plan to ISSUE, as requested if we don't received comments by
Monday, 9/23/02. Thanks.

Just to give you a "heads up" on this project. It was received in Wetlands/401 on 6/14/02. It was sent to
WiRO on 6/20. WaRO received it on 6/26/02. The cover letter said "Luke and Janet Morrison". The
application said "Luke and Janet Martin". Neither the application sent to WaRO via courier nor the
application sent to WaRO via fax had any site drawings or maps as part of the application. It is
incomplete. The "comedy" even goes further in that the cover letter says that "RRO comments by

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT SUMMARY AND CALCULATIONS
MARTIN RESIDENCE IMPROVEMENTS
2410 HARBOR ISLAND ROAD
OLDE TOWNE SUBDIVISION
NEW BERN, NORTH CAROLINA
CRAVEN COUNTY
' PROJECT DESCRIPTION
THE PROJECT IS LOCATED IN THE NEUSE RIVER BASIN, SPECIFICALLY AN
' UNNAMED EXCAVATED TRIBUTARY OF THE TRENT RIVER. THIS PROJECT
PROPOSES DEVELOPMENT IN THE 50' RIPARIAN BUFFER AND THE 75' CAMA
SETBACK AREA.
' THE MARTIN RESIDENCE WAS ORIGINALLY CONSTRUCTED IN THE EARLY 1970'S
TIMEFRAME PRIOR TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE NEUSE RIVER RIPARIAN
' BUFFER OR THE CAMA RULES. THE RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE IS LOCATED AN
AVERAGE DISTANCE OF 40'- 54' FROM THE BULKHEADED WATERFRONT WITH
THE REMAINING AREA EXISTING AS PORCH AND WALKWAY AREAS. AN
' EXISTING SWIMMING POOL IS PRESENTLY LOCATED IN THE BUFFER AREA AS
WELL AS WOODEN DECKS. THE OTHER AREAS ARE MAINTAINED AS DENSE
' GRASS LAWN AND LANDSCAPED AREAS. THE LOT HAS RELATIVELY FLAT
TOPOGRAPHY.
' THE RESIDENCE IS CURRENTLY BEING RENOVATED TO UPDATE ITS
APPEARANCE AND TO PRESERVE ITS VALUE. THE IMPROVEMENT PROPOSED
WILL AFFECT BOTH THE NEUSE RIVER RIPARIAN BUFFER AND THE CAMA
' SETBACK AREA. AN ADDITION IS PROPOSED TO BE CONSTRUCTED ON THE
EASTERN SIDE OF THE HOUSE. THE PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION IS OUTLINED ON
THE ATTACHED PLAN.
NEUSE BUFFER/CAMA IMPACTS
' THE PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION WILL AFFECT THE NEUSE RIVER RIPARIAN
BUFFER AREAS AS FOLLOWS:

RIPARIAN AREA EXISTING IMPERVIOUS
AREA NEW IMPERVIOUS
AREA
30' BUFFER AREA 0 SF 0 SF
50' BUFFER AREA 0 SF 218 SF
75' CAMA SETBACK 222 SF 282 SF

' THE TOTAL NEW PROPOSED IMPERVIOUS AREA WITHIN THE NEUSE RIVER
RIPARIAN BUFFER AREA IS 218 SQUARE FEET. THE ADDITIONAL NEW
' IMPERVIOUS AREA IN THE 75' CAMA SETBACK TOTALS 282 SQUARE FEET.
PROPOSED MITIGATION
MITIGATION IS PROPOSED TO OFFSET THE IMPACT WITHIN THE SETBACK AREAS
' ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROJECT. THE 218 SQUARE FEET OF PROPOSED NEUSE
RIVER BUFFER AREA IMPACT IS PROPOSED TO BE OFFSET WITH A PAYMENT TO
THE WETLANDS RESTORATION FUND OF $0.96/SQUARE FEET FOR A TOTAL OF
' $209.28. A TOTAL OF FIVE TREES WILL ALSO BE PLANTED ALONG THE
WATERFRONT AREA. IN ADDITION, STORMWATER RUNOFF FROM THE NEW
IMPERVIOUS AREAS WILL BE DIRECTED AWAY FROM THE WATERFRONT.
' STORMWATER INFILTRATION MEASURES TO SATISFY CAMA REQUIREMENTS
WILL ALSO BE IMPLEMENTED AS OUTLINED BELOW.
' THE EXISTING LOT DEVELOPMENT EXCEEDS THE 30% BUILT-UPON AREA
CRITERIA REQUIRING TREATMENT OF EXCESS STORMWATER RUNOFF. SINCE
THE HOME WAS DEVELOPED PRIOR TO CAMA REGULATIONS, THERE ARE NO
' FORMAL STORMWATER TREATMENT MEASURES FOR THE SITE. TO MITIGATE
THE ADDITIONAL STORMWATER RUNOFF ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROJECT,
STORMWATER COLLECTION AND TREATMENT MEASURES ARE PROPOSED FOR
' THE COLLECTION AND TREATMENT OF AN EQUAL AREA OF IMPERVIOUS
SURFACE BEING ADDED TO THE SITE WITHIN THE 75' CAMA SETBACK AREA.
' ALL ROOF AREAS OF THE RESIDENCE WHICH SLOPE TOWARD THE ADJACENT
WATER BODY WILL BE GUTTERED WITH THE RUNOFF DIRECTED TO A LOW
INFILTRATION AREA IN THE FRONT YARD AREA OF THE LOT. A SMALLER
' INFILTRATION AREA WILL BE LOCATED AT THE EASTERN CORNER OF THE LOT
TO COLLECT RUNOFF FROM THE REAR PORTION OF THE HOUSE ADDITION.
THE STORMWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO COLLECT THE RUNOFF
FROM THE 10-YEAR, 24-HOUR STORM (6.75 INCHES) WITH A CONSERVATIVE
ALLOWANCE OF 1-INCH OF INFILTRATION OCCURRING DURING THE 24-HOUR
STORM PERIOD. THE NET STORMWATER DETENTION VOLUME WILL HOLD A
TOTAL OF 5.75 INCHES OF RUNOFF.
THE IMPERVIOUS SURFACE AREAS FROM WHICH RUNOFF WILL BE COLLECTED
INCLUDE THE FRONT AND REAR GABLE ROOF AREAS OF THE PROPOSED
ADDITION (1,000 SQUARE FEET).
500 SQUARE FEET OF IMPERVIOUS AREA WILL DISCHARGE TO THE INFILTRATION
AREA ON THE SOUTHERN SIDE OR REAR YARD AREA OF THE SITE. THE
RESULTING RUNOFF VOLUME REQUIRING STORAGE WILL BE 240 CUBIC FEET.
THE PROVIDED INFILTRATION AREA IS 480 SQUARE FEET IN SIZE. THE

' RESULTING STORAGE DEPTH IS 0.5'(6") WHICH IS SATISFACTORY TO BE
CONTAINED WITHIN THE DESIGNED INFILTRATION AREA.
' 500 SQUARE FEET OF IMPERVIOUS AREA WILL DISCHARGE TO THE INFILTRATION
AREA ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE LOT IN THE FRONT YARD AREA. THE
' RESULTING RUNOFF VOLUME REQUIRING STORAGE WILL BE 240 CUBIC FEET.
THE PROVIDED INFILTRATION AREA IS 1,050 SQUARE FEET IN SIZE. THE
RESULTING STORAGE DEPTH IS 0.23'(2.75") WHICH IS SATISFACTORY TO BE
' CONTAINED-IN THE DESIGNED INFILTRATION AREA.
THE PROPOSED DESIGN IS CONSIDERED AN INNOVATIVE METHOD OF TREATING
' STORMWATER RUNOFF FOR THE PROJECT AND MEETS THE INTENT OF 7H.0209,
PARAGRAPH E2 OF THE COASTAL AREA MANAGEMENT ACT.

Dear John:
Enclosed please find two permits requiring signature by the Martins. The CAMA permit should
now be able to be approved locally. The Riparian Buffer permit will go to Raleigh. The local
(Little Washington) contact for the riparian buffer permit will be in my office this Thursday. I
will talk to her about approval at that time.
It is requested that you please have the permits signed and returned back to us for mailing.
Should you have any questions or need any additional information, please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
