In the letter, additional information regarding the site plan and typical sections was requested. Attached are two exhibits addressing the request for additional information. The attached site plan enumerates and shades all riparian buffer impacts and labels them individually. It also clearly locates each protected riparian buffer. In addition, a typical section of the greenway trail and bridge have been attached. This includes the built surfaces, dimensions, and addresses the maintenance and vegetation. Please note that the adjacent vegetation is maintained lawn beside Regency Parkway to the west and forest to the east. The side slopes of the greenway trail will be seeded during construction and maintained. REGULATORY APPROVALS SOUGHT DWQ Buffer Authorization: Every effort has been made to minimize buffer impacts at the stream crossings. However there are impacts to Neuse River Buffers: • Zone 1 - 361 sf (.008 acre) • Zone 2 - 1129 sf (.025 acre) Please contact me (ithomasCabstewart-ena.com - (919) 866-4762) if you have any question or required further detail.
