ubject: Neuse River Basin
Riparian Buffer Rules
NBRRO 99-054
Long Beverage Company
Wake County
On March 1, 1999, 1 Met with you to conduct a site visit of the property involved in the above
referenced project. It was determined as a result of the site visit that the water body present
on this property is an ephemera l/stormwater channel and therefore not subject to the Neuse
River Basin: Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy; Protection and Maintenance of
Existing Riparian Areas, Administrative Code T15A:02B.0233 (NCAC 0233) .
The following information is being included retrospective to the other projects that were
' mentioned during the site visit. The riparian buffer is protected in two separate zones. Zone
1 is intended to be undisturbed forest and begins at the upper edge of the water at the
property line and extends landward a distance of 30 feet, measured horizontally on a line
perpendicular to the water. Forest vegetation of any width that exists in Zone 1 must be
preserved and maintained. Zone 2 begins at the outer edge of Zone 1 and extends landward
a minimum of 20 feet as measured horizontally on a line perpendicular to the waterbody. The
combined minimum width of Zones 1 and 2 shall be 50 feet on all sides of the waterbody.
Vegetation in Zone 2 shall consist of a dense ground cover composed of herbaceous or woody
species which provides for diffusion and infiltration of runoff and filtering of pollutants.
