Riparian Buffer Protection Rules (15A NCAC 02B.0233) with Additional Conditions
Dear Mr. Murray:
You have our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions and those listed below, to place fill
within or otherwise permanently impact 17 linear feet of stream and 243 square feet of Zone 1 Neuse
River Basin protected riparian buffer; and temporarily impact 30 linear feet of stream, 12,051 square
feet of Zone 1 Neuse River Basin protected riparian buffer and 1,206 square feet of Zone 2 Neuse River
Basin protected riparian buffer as described within your application, received by the N.C. Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) on February 11, 2013. The impacts are covered by General Water Quality
Certification Number(s) 3886 (GC3886), which allows you to use Nationwide Permit NW14 when issued
by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). 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 other regulations. This approval to
proceed with your proposed impacts or to conduct impacts to waters as depicted in your application
shall expire upon expiration of the 404 Permit.
This approval 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 Certification and approval letter and is thereby
responsible for complying with all conditions. If total fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed
one acre of wetland or 150 linear feet of stream, compensatory mitigation may be required as described
in 15A NCAC 02H .0506 (h). This approval requires you to follow the conditions listed in the attached
certification and any additional conditions listed below.

2. Protective Fencing
The outside buffer, wetland or water boundary and along the construction corridor within these
boundaries approved under this authorization shall be clearly marked with orange warning fencing (or
similar high visibility material) for the areas that have been approved to infringe within the buffer,
wetland or water prior to any land disturbing activities to ensure compliance with 15 NCAC 02H .0500.
3. Diffuse Flow
All constructed stormwater conveyance outlets shall be directed and maintained as diffuse flow at
non - erosive velocities through the protected stream buffers such that it will not re- concentrate
before discharging into a stream as identified within 15A NCAC 28.0233 (5). If this is not possible, it
may be necessary to provide stormwater facilities that are considered to remove nitrogen (and
phosphorus if in the Tar - Pamlico River Basin). This may require additional approval from this Office.
4. You must re- vegetate all disturbed areas within the buffers as described in your application. If you
need additional information on plantings, see Guidelines for Buffer Restoration available at:
