2. 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].
3. 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 2B .0259(5).
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. [15A NCAC 02H .0507 (c), 15A NCAC 02H .0506 (b)(3), and 15A NCAC 02B .0259
