shall be replaced in accordance with the Vegetation
Management Requirementswith native vegetation of a similar species or type.
5. Water Willow Beds — Applicants are encouraged to avoid activities (including
stabilization) that could have an adverse impact upon existing water willow beds_
Bioengineering is a preferred shoreline stabilization technique and is encouraged,
especially in eroded areas associated with water willow beds. Shoreline stabilization
activities are limited to the eroded bank and any unavoidable impacts to existing water
willow beds, as a result of siabilizatifln installation, require repianting water willow in the
impacted areas}. Rip -rap installed below the normal lake level elevation and associated
with water willow beds must be limited to one layer deep to allover spaces between€ the
stone for water willow recruitment. Removal of water willow for continued lake access
may be allowed, but only for the specific and limited area necessary. Removal of water
willow by means of chemical application can only be conducted in accordance with state
and federal pesticide application regulations.
6. Ri -Ra Lse with Bulkheads — A layer of rip -rap (Class 11 or larger) extending six feet
lakeward from Tull pond must be placed along the entire base of all bulkheads (except for
loosely stacked, dry -stacked boulder walls). The six foot requirement for steep slopes is
measured vertically. For more gradual slopes where the vertical measurement would
prove impractical, a horizontal measure may be used (Figure 5B-2)_
7 Bioen9ineerin_ Vegetation —The types of plar�tin�
landscape -planting �s used in bioengineering and
p p g projects should be native to North Carolina and South Carolina, and
must be reviewed and approved by DE-LS prior to introduction.
8. Seawalls — Seawalls are not allowed in areas with an average eroded bank height of less
than three feet.
9- Eiaeuts+ineerie — proposals for stabilization where the eroded bank height is less than
two ft may use approved bioengineering technique and enhanced rip -rap technique Only
(see Figure 5B-3 for example of acceptable enhanced rip -rap technique).
10. Length of Shoreline to be Stabilized — An individual permit from the SCDI EC far
activities in South Carolina and the US Army Corps of Engineers far activities in North
Carolina is required for stabilization that exceeds 500 linear ft of shoreline_ Multiple
applications for less than 500 ft of stabilization activities on a parcel exceeding
