MEMORANDUM
RE: DWQ's stance on wooden-slatted decks and associated wooden-slatted steps within the Neuse and Tar-Pamlico
Protected Riparian Buffers
Problem: It has been brought to DWQ's attention that wooden-slatted decks and associated steps in either zone of the
protected riparian buffers has only been addressed in the definitions under 15A NCAC 026.0202(13), where wooden-slatted
decks are considered pervious. However, DWQ has concerns that not all wooden-slatted decks are high enough to allow for
adequate sunlight and moisture to penetrate them to ensure that Zones 1 and 2 of the buffers are continuing to be
maintained in vegetation as required in 15 NCAC 26.0233(4) and 15NCAC 26.0259(4).
Solution: Provided that minimal vegetation is removed from Zone 2 and no vegetation is removed from Zone1 during the
installation of the deck, if the deck is at least 8 feet (ft) in height to allow for adequate sunlight and moisture for maintaining
vegetation beneath it and that it meets the requirements of diffuse flow and having a Zone 1 and Zone 2 of the buffers, then
decks (and associated steps) would be allowable in Zones 1 and 2 of the protected riparian buffers. However, if the deck
does not meet any of the requirements listed above, it would be considered allowable with mitigation in Zone 2, but
prohibited in Zone 1 of the protected riparian buffers.
Please note: If fhe d ck is built within one of the 20 Coastal Counties that meets the criteria for the General Coastal
Major Variance, the ran um does not apply.
