Subject: AUTHORIZATION CERTIFICATE PER THE NEUSE RIPARIAN BUFFER PROTECTION RULES (15A
NCAC 02B .0714) WITH ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS
Ayden District Park - Dog Park (crossing) - 3969 Jolly Road, Ayden NC
Dear Mr. Duncan:
You have our approval for the impacts listed below for the purpose described in your application received by the Division
of Water Resources (Division) on April 28, 2021. Please note that you should get any other federal, state or local permits
before proceeding with your project, including those required by (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Non -
Discharge, CAMA, and Water Supply Watershed regulations. This Authorization Certificate shall expire five (5) years
from the date of this letter.
This approval requires you to comply with the following additional conditions:
1. The following impacts are hereby approved provided that all of the other specific and general conditions of the Buffer
Rules are met. No other impacts are approved, including incidental impacts [15A NCAC 02B. 0611]

2. Diffuse Flow
An additional condition is that all stormwater shall be directed as diffuse flow at non -erosive velocities through the
protected stream buffers and will not re -concentrate before discharging into the stream as identified within 15A NCAC
02B .0714(5) or provide treatment via an approved stormwater BMP meeting the nutrient removal requirements
established within 15A NCAC 02B .0714(a)(1)(2). For this project, diffuse flow can be accomplished through guttering
of all roof drainages and directing their discharge to a point outside the entirety of the riparian buffer.
3. 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 Buffer Authorization Application. All forestry operations activities shall be performed so that
no violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur [15A NCAC 02H .0502 and .0502].
4. The Permittee shall replant the vegetation within temporarily disturbed areas associated with this project in an "in
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 260 trees per acre at

maturity. This density can usually be achieved by planting approximately 360 (11 x 11 spacing) to 538 (9 x 9 spacing)
trees per acre.) Restoration of trees/shrubs/forest must be completed by the first subsequent planting season
(November 1 through March 30). Note, if the tree plantings do not survive, they will need to be replaced such that
the density is sufficient to provide 320 trees per acre at maturity. [15A NCAC 02H .0507 (c), 15A NCAC 02H .0506
(b)(3), and 15A NCAC 02B .0714 (6)]
5. This approval is for the purpose and design described in your application. The plans and specifications for this project
are incorporated by reference as part of the Authorization. If you change your project, you must notify the Division
and you may be required to submit a new application package with the appropriate fee. If the property is sold, the
new owner must be given a copy of this approval letter and Authorization and is responsible for complying with all
conditions. [15A NCAC 02B .0507(d)(2)]
6. This approval and its conditions are final and binding unless contested. {G.S. 143-215.5}
