" General" MAJOR VARIANCE
From the Neuse and Tar Pamlico Riparian Buffer Protection Rules for residential
structures on existing lots within the coastal counties as defined by the Coastal Area
Management Act that meet the conditions stated below. -
This "general" major variance from the Riparian Buffer Protection Rules in the Neuse
(15A NCAC 2B .0233) and Tar-Pamlico (15A NCAC 2B .0259) River Basins is hereby issued by
the NC Environmental Management Commission (EMC) for impacts to the protected buffers as
long as the conditions prescribed below are met.
The applicant must submit to Division of Water Quality (DWQ) three copies of the DWQ
"General" Major Variance Application Form that describes how the following conditions of this
variance will be met. If these conditions can not be met, an individual Major or Minor Variance
from the Buffer Rules may be sought from the EMC. This "General" Major Variance shall expire
on April 11, 2006 unless it is renewed before that time by the EMC.
Conditions:
1. The residential lot must be located within one of the coastal counties as
defined by the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA).
2. Applicants must show that they have met the requirements for a variance
as specified in the buffer rules in "VARIANCES" [ 15A NCAC 2B
.0233(9)(a)(i)-(iii) and 15A NCAC 2B .02 5 9(9)(a)(i)-(iii)] for the
specific river basin where the impacts will occur.
3- Applicants must show that the residential lot has been platted and
recorded prior to August 1. 2000.

4. Construction is for residential buildings and related structures such as
garages, decks, porches, attached commercial buildings, driveways and
sheds.
5. Substantial expenditures and contractual obligations must have occurred
in good faith prior to the August 1. 2000
. Substantial expenditures
and obligations must have been made in reasonable reliance upon
governmental permits and/or approvals (such as 401 Water Quality
Certifications, CAMA permits, active connection to an existing sanitary
sewer system or local septic system approvals). Supportive written
documentation must be submitted to the DWQ for review.
6. The lot must be buildable, without wetland impacts except for driveways
and/or utility crossings and any impact to the buffer shall be minimized
to the maximum extent practical.
7. Where impacts to the buffer will occur, the impact should be minimised
to the greatest extent practicable as determined by DWQ staff.
May WQC Agenda Item # 2 vomisvav
S. Any on-site wastewater treatment must not be located within 50 feet of a
surface water as specified in "ZONES OF THE RIPARIAN BUFFER"
[15A NCAC 2B.0233(4) and 15A NCAC 2B .0259(4)] of the buffer
rules. The only exceptions include any pretreatment systems meeting the
Treatment Standard 1 as found in 15A NCAC 18A. 1969 Innovative
System Approval regulated by the NC Division of Environmental Health,
On-site Wastewater Section.
9. On-site stormwater management controls must be shown on the
application and stormwater runoff must be directed away from the
adjacent surface water and/or coast wetland as determined sufficient by
DWQ staff; measures such as rain gardens, bio-retention areas, .?
vegetative filter strips and planting of trees or shrubs along bulkheads
and/or property lines to maximize pollutant removal may be required as
determined by DWQ staff. If the applicant is required to obtain a
Sedimentation and Erosion Control Permit or a CAMA Major Permit,
then a Stormwater Permit may be required from the DWQ.
10. Mitigation will be required at a 1:1 ratio for impacts to Zone 1. This
mitigation can be accomplished by either (1) payment into the Riparian
Buffer Restoration Fund (administered by the DWQ Wetlands
Restoration Program), (2) planting or protection of a riparian area not
subject to the buffer rules, or (3) additional planting of a partially
buffered location on-site or in close proximity to the impacted area.
Mitigation plans must be approved in writing by the DWQ prior to
construction.
11. The applicant must receive written approval from the DWQ based on the
submittal of the "General" Major Variance Application Form
acknowledging that these conditions have been met before any impacts
occur to the riparian buffer.
12. The applicant must contact the appropriate District office of the N.C.
Division of Coastal Management or Local Permitting Officer for any
current requirements for CAMA Major, Minor or General Permits.
