If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this Authorization Certificate and is responsible for complying with all conditions. [15A NCAC 02B] If you are unable to comply with any of the conditions below, you must notify the Washington Regional Office within 24 hours (or the next business day if a weekend or holiday) from the time the permittee becomes aware of the circumstances. The permittee shall report to the Washington Regional Office any noncompliance with the conditions of this Authorization Certificate and/or any violation of state regulated riparian buffer rules [15A NCAC 02B .0714]. Information shall be provided orally within 24 hours (or the next business day if a weekend or holiday) from the time the applicant became aware of the circumstances. Additional Conditions: 1. No additional impacts shall occur to Zones 1 or 2 of the protected riparian buffers except for uses and activities designated as "exempt" within 15A NCAC 02B .0714(11) and (8)(a), unless otherwise approved by the Division. 2. All wetlands, streams, and surface waters located within 50 feet of the construction area on the project site shall be clearly marked (example- orange fabric fencing) prior to any land disturbing activities and must be maintained on the property until the project phase is completed. Citation: 15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(2), 15A NCAC 02H .0507(c) Justification: A project that affects waters shall not be permitted unless the existing uses, and the water quality to protect such uses, are protected. In determining that the proposed activity will comply with state water quality standards (including designated uses, numeric criteria, narrative criteria, and the state's antidegradation policy), the Division must evaluate if the activity has avoided and minimized impacts to waters, would cause or contribute to a violation of standards or would result in secondary or cumulative impact. Immediately post- construction, bare soil 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 buffer restoration can be accomplished. [15A NCAC 02B .0611(b)(4) / (c)(4), 15A NCAC 0213.0203, 15A NCAC 02B .0714(8) and (9). This approval and its conditions are final and binding unless contested. [G.S. 143-215.5] Upon the presentation of proper credentials, the Division may inspect the property. This Authorization Certificate can be contested as provided in Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes by filing a Petition for a Contested Case Hearing (Petition) with the North Carolina Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) within sixty (60) calendar days. Requirements for filing a Petition are set forth in Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes and Title 26 of the North Carolina Administrative Code.
