Since, there will be not Zone 1 or 2 impacts, written authorization is not required from The Division of Water Resources. Also, this email provides written confirmation that your buffer authorization application will be withdrawn. Thank you and have a good week! Stephanie Z.

Below yellow highlighted area is the physical deck/patio area and it won't encroach the riparian buffer. What you were asking is the dimension line for the drawings. I hope this will help to clarify your initial question and hopefully we do not need a variance. Please contact me for any additional info. Please feel free to call me for any questions.

STOP and CONSIDER before responding, clicking on links, or opening attachments. Mr. Shah, Since the patio will be in the riparian buffer, a minor variance application is required. Please disregard the previous application I e-mailed you today. The impact for the patio and the addition will need to be listed in the attached minor variance application under impacts (part C1). The patio will require mitigation which is a dollar amount per square foot that is in the buffer (part C2). The addition does not require mitigation as it is allowable. I have included the applications and a mitigation help document as well. Once you have the forms filled out and contacted a private mitigation bank and received a statement of availability letter for the mitigation you can e-mail the forms to me. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. I can talk you through some of the sections if needed. Stephanie Z.

From: Goss, Stephanie Sent: Thursday, May 14, 2020 1:32 PM To: Shah, Mukesh R - Raleigh, NC <MRShah@uspis.gov> Subject: RE: [External] Buffer Determination Request Mr. Shah, Thank you for the revised impact map. That makes it very clear what you intend to do. The only new area I see that will be in the buffer is the addition. The addition is allowed in the buffer as long as you complete the riparian buffer authorization form that I have attached and a help document for your convenience. The Neuse buffer rules came into effect in 1997. Any impacts in the riparian buffer area prior to 1997 are considered exempt or existing use. However, any new impacts in the buffer that are not considered exempt activity do require written authorization from DWR via the form I have attached Please complete the attached buffer authorization form and return to me at your convenience along with the impact map you provided today and I will review it. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Right now, our building is closed for visitors, but I can certainly help you over the phone. Stephanie Z.

Send all suspicious email as an attachment to I report.spam@nc.gov Good Morning Ms. Goss, Our house was built in the year 1997 and obtained possession in 1998. 1 am the first owner. Btw, it seems like there was no riparian buffer rules from some blogs that I read for properties built prior to year 1998. Please see attached example that was given to us and updated drawing representing Neuse buffer rules of riparian buffer requirements. I am not sure if it is possible to make an appointment to discuss further by meeting in person or by setting up an online meeting. Thank you! Mukesh Shah 103 Hanahan Court Cary, NC 27513 From: Goss, Stephanie[mailto:stephanie.goss@ncdenr.gov] Sent: Wednesday, February 26, 2020 8:57 AM To: Brigham, Joshua S <joshua.brigham@ncdenr.gov>; Shah, Mukesh R - Raleigh, NC <MRShah@uspis.gov> Subject: RE: [EXTERNAL] Fw: Buffer Determination Request Mr. Shah, I reviewed your plans that Josh forwarded to me. Since the stream on your property is subject to the Neuse buffer rules, there are activities that are allowed in the buffer that require written authorization from the Division. Based on the documents your provided to Josh, it appears that you are adding an addition to your house and a patio/deck. Based on the impact map A0.1 that was provided it is unclear what will be encroaching in the riparian buffer. In order to be able to understand your project, the following items need to be added to the impact map: 10 • The stream needs to be shown on the plan. • Show the two zones of the riparian buffer on the plan as measured from the top of the streambank. Zone 1 is measured 30 feet from the top of the stream bank, and Zone 2 is measured from 30 feet to 50 feet. These riparian buffers parallel the stream pattern. • Site plan must depict the footprint of the proposed permanent impacts. • The square footage of the impacts in Zone 1 and Zone 2 must be identified in the application. The addition and deck is allowable in the buffer with the submittal of a riparian buffer authorization. However, if you plan to install a stone patio this activity is prohibited and required a Minor Variance. Based on the map you provided, it is unclear what activity is in the riparian buffer. I have attached an example of an impact map for your reference. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Stephanie Z.
