Dear Mr. Brouillard:
NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF
ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES
RALEIGH REGIONAL OFFICE
May 20, 1999
Subject: Stephenson Timber Tract
Narron Road/SR 2172
Neuse Basin Rules
Johnston County
This letter is written in regard to the Stephenson Timber Tracts in Johnston County. On September
17, 1998, I met with you to conduct an evaluation of the water bodies present on the above
referenced tract of land. As a result of the site visit, it was determined that there are two features/
water bodies present on this parcel of land. One is subject to the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules
(15 A NCAC 2B .0233) the other is a ditch and is not subject to buffer protection.
As you know the Neuse Buffer Rules: Neuse River Basin: Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management
Strategy; Protection and Maintenance of Existing Riparian Areas, Administrative Code
T15A:02B.0233 state the following:

e?

".0233-Existing riparian areas shall be protected and maintained in accordance with Sub-
Items (3)(a)-(e) of this Rule on all sides of surface waters in the Neuse River Basin.
As we discussed, the riparian buffer must be protected in two zones.
(a) "Zone 1 is intended to be undisturbed forest....Zone 1 begins at the upper edge of
the active channel of the water body or the mean high water line and extends landward a
distance of 30 feet, measured horizontally on a line perpendicular to the waterbody..
Forest vegetation of any width that exists in Zone 1 on the effective date of this Rule
must be preserved and maintained."
(b) "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.

f:
Vegetation in Zone 2 shall consist a dense ground cover composed of herbaceous or
woody species which provides for diffusion and infiltration of runoff and filtering of
pollutants.
The map that you have provided indicates the location of the water bodies and the protected required
under this rule.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and if you have any questions or need additional
information please contact me at 919-571-4700.
