Re: Chapman Court, Winterville, North Carolina
Neuse River Riparian Buffer
Dear Al:
We are attaching a copy of the plans, which have been approved by the Town of
Winterville, showing the Neuse River buffer as determined by Chris Pullinger of your
office. We have a stormwater management plan that calls for improving the existing
zone I which has been used for crops by providing vegetation and stabilization. We have
proposed some sub-surface storage in stone and surface storage as dry detention areas
within the zones I and II. We feel the intent of the buffer rules is to protect existing
grades and vegetation that serve a useful purpose in nutrient removed in the
transmissibility zone of the soil. We feel the regulations also recognize that not all buffer
areas serve an adequate function for stabilization of nutrient removal. We agree with the
position taken by the Division of Water Quality that the zone I protection is of paramount
importance as determined by the statutes and that any impact of that zone should be
thoroughly reviewed particularly if the zone I is in a natural and functional state. We also
feel the zone I areas that do not perform nutrient uptake, allows point source discharge
and contributes to slope bank degradation should be constructed to performs the statutes
requires. The zones are filter areas by statute and should be allowed under the rules to be
created where they do not exist. Paragraph 6 of 15A NCAC 02B.02591ists several
exceptions to the zone I requirements including:
1. New ponds to meet buffer rules except dry ponds. This appears to allow dry ponds by
exemption.
2. Protection of existing structures, facilities, stream bank is an allowable condition.
3. Stormwater management ponds excluding dry ponds are an allowable use as long as
the buffer setbacks are provided. This appears that dry ponds are allowed and exempt
from the rules.
4. Streambank stabilization allowed.
5. Planting vegetation to enhance the riparian buffer exempt.

Our proposed plan eliminates existing point source discharge, contains the runoff from
the ten-year storm, provides for drainage through filter fabric, sod and sand, provide bank
stabilization and allows for plantings along the buffer that are not now present. A copy of
our plan is provided along with our computations required by the Town of Winterville for
their management program.
Please advise us of your use of the rules.
Very truly yours,
