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].

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).

density is sufficient to provide 320 trees per acre at maturity. [15A NCAC 02H .0507
