Dear Mr. Elliott:
You have our authorization, in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0259 and any

buffers for the purpose of maintaining the golf course's facilities at the subject property as
described within your application dated January 5, 2011 and received on January 8, 2011.
In addition, you should obtain or otherwise comply with any other required federal, state
or local permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited to)
Erosion and Sediment Control, Non-discharge and Division of Coastal Management
regulations.
This authorization is for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If
you change your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new
application. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this
authorization letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. This
authorization requires you to follow the conditions listed below.

version of the North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and
Design Manual.
b. Design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the sediment and erosion
control measures must be such that they equal, or exceed, the requirements
specified in the most recent version of the North Carolina Sediment and
Erosion Control Manual. The devices shall be maintained on all construction
sites, borrow sites, and waste pile (spoil) projects, including contractor-owned
or leased borrow pits associated with the project.
c. For borrow pit sites, the erosion and sediment control measures must be
designed, installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with the most
recent version of the North Carolina Surface Mining Manual.

areas beyond the footprint of the impacts depicted in the Pre-Construction
Notification. All construction activities, including design, installation, operation, and
maintenance of sediment and erosion control Best Management Practices, shall be
performed so no violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur.
7. On-site mitigation
You are required to mitigate for impacts to the protected riparian buffers. The
required mitigation is summarized in the table below. By copy of this letter, your
restoration plan for these areas of temporary impact is approved. You have until the
next growing season (Nov. 2010 -April 2011) to complete the restoration. If you will
not be able to complete the restoration in this time frame, please contact this office to
discuss a request for extension. If your impacts result in ground disturbance, you
should stabilize the area with a ground cover upon completion of disturbance. All
restoration plantings should be evenly distributed to cover the area of impact.
