Dear Mr Williams:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to temporarily impact 320 square feet of Zone One
and 285 square feet of Zone Two of the Jordan Lake Riparian Buffer in order a temporary sediment and erosion control
measure for the NW GTCC Northwest Campus Water and Sewer-Lift Station Project off of Leabourne Rd in
Greensboro, NC in Guilford County, as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality
(Division) on October 27, 2011. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this project is allowable
under 15A NCAC 02B .0267 "Jordan Buffer Rules".
This approval is valid only for the purpose and design that you have described in your application. If you change your
project, you must notify us in writing, and you may be required to send us a new application for a new authorization. If
the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the Authorization and approval letter and is thereby
responsible for complying with all conditions. For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed

kind" manner immediately following construction. (Example: Disturbed areas with pre-existing grassed lawns must
be replanted with grass. Disturbed areas with pre-existing trees or woody vegetation must be replanted with trees
and woody vegetation. Disturbed areas with pre-existing forest vegetation must be replanted with forest vegetation
including at least two different native hardwood tree species at a density sufficient to provide 320 trees per acre at
maturity. This density can usually be achieved by planting approximately 436 (10 x 10 spacing) to 681 (8 x 8
spacing) trees per acre.)
