2. Periodic Corrective Action if Necessary
The area in the vicinity of the discharge of the new 54 -inch storm drain shall be inspected
regularly to determine if there is any erosion in the buffer through which it discharges, the
streambank, the stream itself or the buffer on the opposite side of the discharge point. If
any erosion or sedimentation is observed, then you shall immediately repair and correct the
problem(s) to prevent further damage to the receiving stream and /or buffer. Any required
repairs or corrective action may require a separate Neuse River Buffer Authorization and /or
a 404 Permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and a 401 Certification from the
Division.
3. 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 15A NCAC 02B.0233.
4. 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 2B.0233 (5). If
this is not possible, it may be necessary to provide stormwater facilities that are considered
to remove nitrogen and phosphorus. This may require additional approval from this Office.
S. 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 Pre - Construction Notification. All
construction activities, including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of
sediment and erosion control Best Management Practices, shall be performed so that no
violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur.
