d. Allowable built -upon area per lot must be
consistent with proposed restrictions submitted by
permittee as shown on attached sheets.

2. The overall tract built -upon area percentage or lot sizes
for the project must be maintained at levels at least as
stringent as the low density levels specified in the
stormwater rules.
3. The development must demonstrate that no areas within the

runoff threatens water quality.
4. Approved plans and specifications for projects covered by
this permit are incorporated by reference and are

vegetated conveyances such as swales with minimum side

a. That minimum amount necessary to direct runoff
beneath an impervious surface such as a road
