All stormwater must be directed and maintained as dispersed flow, as defined in 15A NCAC

No impacts (except for "Deemed Allowable" uses as identified within 15A NCAC 02B .0714

the DWR. No impervious surfaces shall be added to Zone 1, unless otherwise approved by

certification, any violation of stream or wetland standards [15A NCAC 02B .0200] including
but not limited to sediment impacts, and any violation of state regulated riparian buffer
rules [15A NCAC 02B .0200]. Information shall be provided orally within 24 hours (or the
next business day if a weekend or holiday) from the time the applicant became aware of the
circumstances. A written submission shall also be provided within 5 business days of the
time the applicant becomes aware of the circumstances. The written submission shall
contain a description of the noncompliance, and its causes; the period of noncompliance,
including exact dates and times, if the noncompliance has not been corrected, the
anticipated time compliance is expected to continue; and steps taken or planned to reduce,
eliminate, and prevent reoccurrence of the noncompliance. The Division may waive the
written submission requirement on a case-by-case basis.

5. No Waste, Spoil, Solids, or Fill of Any Kind
No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas
beyond the footprint of the impacts depicted in the Pre-Construction Notification. All
construction activities, including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of
sediment and erosion control Best Management Practices, shall be performed so that no
violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur [15A NCAC 02H .0501
and .0502].

6. Protective Fencing
All wetlands, streams, surface waters, and riparian buffers located within 50 feet of the

fencing) prior to any land disturbing activities and must be maintained on the property until
the project phase is completed. [15A NCAC 02H .0506 (b)(2) and (c)(2) and 15A NCAC
