Dear Mr. Samanns:
You have our authorization, in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0233 and any conditions listed below, to
impact approximately 2000 ft2 of Zone 2 of the protected riparian buffers for the purpose of constructing a
residential dwelling and driveway at the subject property as described within your application dated September
26, 2013 and received by the N.C. Division of Water Resources (DWR) on September 24, 2013. 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 CAMA
regulations.
This authorization 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 authorization letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all
conditions. This authorization requires you to follow the conditions listed below.
The Additional Conditions of the Authorization are:
1. Impacts Approved
The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all of the other specific and general conditions of
this Certification (or Isolated Wetland Permit) are met. No other impacts are approved including

2. Stormwater Management
Stormwater generated off the new addition to the residential dwelling (560 square feet in Zone 2) must be
collected and treated. This may be accomplished through the use of gutters and rain barrels or by
collecting and directing to a residential rain garden /bioretention area. An Operation and Maintenance
Agreement (O &M Agreement) will be required when utilizing the above - mentioned Best Management
Practices (BMPs). A bioretention cell consists of a depression in the ground that supports various types of
water - tolerant vegetation. The surface of the BMP is depressed in bioretention cell to allow for ponding of
runoff that filters through the soil. Ponding depth shall be 12 inches or less. No dimension (width, length,
or radius) can be less than 10 feet. This is to provide sufficient space for plants. A final plan for
stormwater treatment must be provided and approved by the Division, including an O &M Agreement.
3. 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 2B.0233(5).
4. Certificate of Completion
Upon completion of all work approved within this authorization, and any subsequent modifications, the
applicant is required to return the attached certificate of completion to the 401 Oversight/Express Review
Permitting Unit, North Carolina Division of Water Resources, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC,
27699 -1650.
Any disputes over determinations regarding this Authorization Certificate (associated with the approved buffer
impacts) shall be referred in writing to the Director for a decision. The Director's decision is subject to review
as provided in Articles 3 and 4 of G.S. 150B. This Authorization Certificate shall expire five (5) years from the
date of this letter.
This letter completes the review of the "No Practical Alternatives" determination under 15A NCAC 2B .0233
and Session Law 2012 -200. This letter does not authorize any impacts to either Waters of the United States or
Waters of the State. Please contact the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) or NC Division of Water
Resources (DWR) if any impacts are proposed to either of these waters. If you have any questions, please
telephone Roberto Scheller of the Washington Regional Office at 252 - 948 -3940 or Karen Higgins of the
Wetlands, Buffers, Stormwater, Compliance and Permitting (Webscape) Unit at 919 - 807 -6360.
