Dear Mr. Hauck:
You have our authorization, in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0233 and any

Zone 2 of the protected riparian buffers for the purpose of placing and grading
fill at the subject property as described within your application dated March 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 CAMA
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.
The Additional Conditions of the Authorization are:

concentrate before discharging into the stream as identified within 15A
NCAC 2B.0233(5).
3. Temporary Stabilization
Immediately post- construction, bare soils must be stabilized as quickly as
possible by providing a temporary ground cover. Newly seeded areas should
be protected with mulch and/or erosion matting. This ground cover is a
temporary measure used to address erosion until site restoration can be
accomplished
4. Site Restoration
The property owner is responsible for site stabilization and restoration of
woody vegetation. Pre-project site conditions MUST be re-established. A site
that was wooded prior to this project MUST be restored with woody
vegetation at a stem density of 320 stems per acre. Restoration must be
completed by the first subsequent planting season (November 1 through
March 30).

subsequent modifications, the applicant is required to return the attached
certificate of completion to the 401 Oversight/Express Review Permitting Unit,
