approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed below.
Conditions:
1. 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.0233(5).
2. Certificate of Completion
Upon completion of all work approved within this authorization, and any subsequent modifications, the applicant is

Dear Bob,
Attached is an application for a board walk across the Neuse River buffer. It is an
extension of our dock (permitted by CAMA) to our house. I used the same drawing that
was used to permit the location of our house and mitigation for the gravel drive that was
placed before we knew about this buffer. You may remember this application. The
boardwalk is simply an extension of the dock across the buffer to the house. It will be
constructed like the dock at the same level with spaces between the decking boards to
allow water to drain through the structure. Once complete, foot traffic will be minimal in
the buffer area because it will be safer and more convenient to walk on the boardwalk.
The buffer vegetation will not have to complete with foot traffic.
Our mitigation plants are doing well, thanks to a moist summer. We plan to add several
more deciduous holly. The berries were spectacular this fall and they should be good for
attracting wildlife. We replaced the Gordonia that the deer were particularly fond of and
sprayed it with pepper spray.
Commerce opened an office for me in Morehead City last March so I have new contact
information. Phone - 252-222-6110
