Thank you for your comments!
I just left you a voicemail with a request for you to call me back to discuss a few of these items.
Hope to hear from you soon,

Erin,
Thanks for this.
These are the items that I see need addressing:
• Please sh'ow the proposed impacts on the revised plan, as you did on the original submittal with the shading;
• The impacts on the plan state 220 sq. ft. and the application states 137 sq. ft. please correct these to the
correct amount of proposed impacts on the plan and application;
• Please detail the re- vegetation plan of the disturbed area in zone 2;
• Specify that the gutters are to outlet outside of zone 2 and the runoff will continue through the vegetated
buffer;
We will send an on hold letter with the above items.
Please send 3 hard copies of these revisions.
Thanks

Erin — Shelton and I went over this, we have a few questions...
1) The map shows Zone 1 to be 20 ft, and Zone 2 to be 30 ... these are switched. I don't think it affects the sqft of
impact, but It should be changed to reflect Zone 1 to be 30 ft and Zone 2 to be 50 ft
2) You have listed to impacts to Zone 1, however I don't think you have any impacts to Zone 1 I'm pretty sure all
your impacts are in Zone 2 You should change the application to show no impacts to Zone 1. NOTE: we are
only addressing the new impacts, nothing pre- existing.
3) There is no mitigation.
4) The stormwater control is vegetation
5) Page 2, #2b — the WQ Classification is 'Class C, NSW'
6) Page 2, #3d — please include 'on an existing single family residential lot' in your description. This makes it legal.
7) Page 6, #6b — check 'No' under Buffer Mitigiation Required. Verify all squarefootage is in Zone 2.

Given this situation, I can assure you we will issue this as soon as possible. We have short
staffs and vacations and things like that, but I will try and personally track and assist
with this until issued.
Also, I assume there will be questions with the application (after all, this is the same form
used to build shopping centers and interstate highways). I will try (along with Shelton and
Karen) and help answer all questions as quickly as possible and move this forward. I cannot
promise a certain timeframe once the application is made, but I can assure you we will pay
daily attention to this until it is resolved. I will also keep City of Raleigh in the loop.
I'm sorry this is causing further delay with your project, I know you are anxious to get
working again, and we will do everything possible on the DWQ side to move this along and get
this resolved.
Please keep me posted on your progress, and I'll do the same.

Dr Cunningham,
I conducted a second visit to this site today, and after measuring and verification of the stream buffer, it is apparent that
a portion of the newly constructed foundation for the house has been built within the 50 ft stream buffer
After my first visit (conducted on Nov 1 at the request of City of Raleigh via email Oct 31) 1 was contacted by Chad Parker
who I believe is the architect working on this project. He provided me with a survey and said the encroachment of the
front porch area was pre- existing (exempting this from the buffers). He also said portions of the foundation in the buffer
were planters, and as such were non - impervious and allowed in the buffer (however, this is not exactly accurate).
I then informed the City of Raleigh and Mr Parker that 1) the stream buffer as staked in the field is not very accurate
since the buffer is staked as a straight line but the stream (and stream buffer) curves, and therefore portions of the
foundation which appear to be constructed in the buffer are actually outside the buffer 2) according to Mr Parker, the
front step portion of the foundation was pre- existing in the buffer and therefore exempt. It is my understanding that
based on this info, someone went out to the house and more accurately staked out the stream buffer.
I was then contacted by the City and informed that the front portion of this house may be new construction and was not
pre- existing in the stream buffer. I went out today for a second look, and there is very little evidence to confirm any pre-
existing impacts to the stream buffer (if they were there, they have been removed and replaced with what looks like
new construction). In addition, the stakes delineating the buffer were present and there are clearly new impacts to the
stream buffer, most notably the foundation planters.
I would like to note that impacts such as this are allowable, however the NC DWQ needs to document impacts to the 50
ft stream buffer and provide authorization for these impacts. I honestly feel if we had been contacted prior to
construction, we could have either provided guidance in reference to the buffers and possibly issued an authorization, if
needed. For instance, the planters are not exempt — they are foundation /retaining walls with fill, and as such will need
to be authorized.
Technically this site is violation of the NC Neuse River Riparian buffer rules. However, the resolution to this violation is to
obtain a buffer authorization. I would prefer to not cite this property as being in violation and would prefer to move
forward with a buffer authorization which will — hopefully — satisfy all parties and move this project forward.
I have included a link to our webpage which contains the application for buffer authorization:
http: / /Portal.ncdenr.org/ web /wq /swp /ws/ 401 /riparianbuffers /authorizations variances
Unfortunately, the link under 'Buffer Authorization Application' is currently down. I have also attached a word
document of this form with this email.
I have included Shelton Sullivan and Karen Higgins on this email. I am out of the office all next week and will be
returning on Monday Nov 26`h. Shelton and /or Karen may be able to help you in the meantime, and I will do anything I
can to provide assistance
I apologize for any confusion regarding the stream buffer issues. I know you are working diligently with the City to
resolve the problems and get back to work on your project, and I hope we can assist with this by providing the necessary
authorization in as timely a manner as possible.
Please let me know if you have questions, and if you want, you can reply all and we will all try and help resolve this
matter.
