Hey Josh,
The Neuse River Buffer Rules were revised in 2020 and transferred to 15A NCAC 02B .0714 from 15A NCAC 02B .0233. In
the revised rules, streambank stabilization is an Allowable Upon Authorization activity [15A NCAC 02B .0714(11)(dd)]. I
still need the amounts of square footage of Zone 1 and Zone 2 buffer impacts.

Thanks,

Subject: Grove Park Stream Restoration Project
Good morning,
I am reviewing the above referenced project, and in order to complete the review, some additional information is
required:
1) Page 7 of 7 of the ePCN contains the signature of Joshua White. In order for Joshua White to sign, the
application package requires an agent authorization letter from the applicant. A sample agent authorization
letter can be found on the USACE website. [15A NCAC 02H .0502(f)] Sorry for it not being attached to the
original package. It is typically in our JD package and was signed in September prior to the submittal. Sorry.
Please see attached "Agent Authorization LITTLE LICK CREEK RESTORATION PROJECT."
2) This project is located within the Neuse River Basin and subject to the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules. No
Buffer Impacts are requested in the PCN. Zones 1 and 2 of the Buffer are not shown on the impact maps, but it
appears that this project will have impacts within the buffer. Please provide additional details on impacts to the
Riparian Buffer, including amount per impact per zone (sq ft) and type of impacts (15A NCAC 02B .0714(11)).
[15A NCAC 02B .0611(b), 15A NCAC 02B .0714] The buffer impacts (Zone 1 and Zone 2) for this project are for
stream restoration activities. According to the Table of Uses located in 15A NCAC 02B .0233(6), Stream
Restoration is an exempt activity. However, the buffer zones and areas are located in the back of the
plansheets. I have attached the two sheets from the planset for quicker access. File is labeled, "Grove Park
Buffer Zones."
3) The most recently published NRCS Soil Survey refers to the most recent paper -bound copy of the NRCS soil
surveys, not the Web Soil Survey. (https://deq.nc.gov/water-quality/surface-water-protection/401/buffer-
rules/interpretiverulingnres-soilsurveymaps/download). The most recently published NRCS Soil Surveys are
available as pdfs on the NRCS website
(https://www.nres.usda.gov/wps/portal/nres/surveylist/soils/survey/state/?stateld=NC). Please provide a copy
of the most recently published NRCS Soil Survey. [15A NCAC 02B .0714] Attached is the from the 1976 Durham
Soil Map. I am sorry this was not part of the previous package because previous submittals over the last 15
years have had included. Sorry. File is labeled, "Durham Soil map27 Approx. Site Location."
Thank you,
