Exterior wooded decks and concrete porches are located on the rear, northern face of the resident and the side, eastern face of the residence. The majority of the existing rear of the single family residence is maintained yard/grass within Zone 1 and 2 of the riparian buffers. Existine roof drains from the residence drain undereround. The apDlicant is not aware if or where the roof drains discharee. The applicant proposes residential improvements including the construction of an in -ground swimming pool and patio.

Provide a description of how mitigation will be achieved at your site pursuant to the mitigation requirements of the applicable river basin/watershed. Mitigation will be satisfied by in -lieu compensation from NC DMS. The attached letter indicates NCDMS has the credits available to satisfy the mitigation proposal. The applicant consulted private mitigation banks within the site's hydrologic unit code. Private mitigation banks do not have credits available to satisfy the mitigation proposal. 3a.

FORM: VAR 10-2013 Page 4 of 6 D. Stormwater 1. Provide a description of how diffuse flow will be maintained through the protected riparian buffers (e.g., re -planting vegetation or enhancement of existing vegetation, gutter splash pads, level spreader to control of runoff from impervious surfaces, etc.). impervious surfaces within the buffer will sheet flow to the buffer from the Datio and awav from the swimmine Dool. The proposed protect does not involve changing, altering or adding to existing roof drain discharges to the buffer. Concentrated flow will not be discharged into the remaining buffer. 1a. Show the location of diffuse flow measure(s) on your site plan. 1b. Attach a completed Level Spreader Supplement Form or BMP Supplement Form with all required items for each proposed measure. 1c. Attach an Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Form for each proposed level spreader or BMP. 2. For Major, Catawba, and Goose Creek variance requests, provide a description of all best management practices (BMPs) that will be used to minimize disturbance and control the discharge of nutrients and sediments from stormwater. 2a. Show the location of BMPs on your site plan. 2b. Attach a Supplement Form for each structural BMP proposed. 2c. Attach an Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Form for each structural BMP proposed. D. Demonstration of Need for a Variance The variance provision of the riparian buffer rules allows the Division or the Environmental Management Commission to grant a variance when there are practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships that prevent compliance with the strict letter of riparian buffer protection. 1. Explain how complying with the provisions of the applicable rule would prevent you from securing a reasonable return from or make reasonable use of your property. Merely proving that the variance would permit a greater profit from the property shall not be considered adequate justification for a variance. The Division will consider whether the variance is the minimum possible deviation from the terms of the applicable Buffer Rule that shall make reasonable use of the property possible. The applicant purchased the site, a private single family residence, in 2013. The applicant was not provided with or made aware of a PLAT, survey or any other information indicating the presence of a stream or riparian buffer located on the property until the previous year when applying for a building permit for the proposed project. The applicant became aware of the presence of a stream and associated riparian buffer located on the property within this previous year when applying for a local building permit to construct the proposed protect. If the applicant would comply with the applicable buffer rule, then it would not be possible to complete the proposed residential improvements. The applicant evaluated crossing the stream with a permanent crossing to construct on the remainder of the lot; however, this would result in far greater impact to the riparian buffer in addition to loss of stream bed. The applicant has reconfigured the proposed improvements to limit all disturbances to Zone 2 of the buffer. It is not feasible, reasonable or practical for the proposed improvements to be designed to further minimize impact to the riparian buffer nor for the applicant to attempt to relocate to a property without the riparian buffer constraints. 2. Explain how the hardship results from application of the Buffer Rule to the property rather from other factors such as deed restrictions or other hardships (e.g. zoning setbacks, floodplains, etc). The applicant was not involved or responsible for obtaining zoning or grading approvals of the overall larger subdivision that contains the site. Based on information collected from the most recent survey, the site was included on a PLAT dating 1965. FORM: VAR 10-2013 Page 5 of 6 3. Explain how the hardship results from physical nature of the property, such as its size, shape, or topography, which is different from that of neighboring property. Due to the configuration of the lot and locations of existing residence/development and the location of the stream/associated buffer bisecting the residential lot, there are no other alternatives other than the proposed. Furthermore, potential purchase of adjacent or nearby lots to avoid impact to buffers is not economically feasible for the property owner. 4. Explain whether the hardship was caused by the applicant knowingly or unknowingly violating the applicable Buffer Rule. The applicant has not knowingly or unknowingly violated the applicable buffer rule. 5. For Neuse, Tar -Pamlico, Jordan Lake and Goose Creek only: Did the applicant purchase the property after the effective date of the applicable Buffer Rule and then request a variance? Yes. 6. Explain how the hardship is rare or unique to the applicant's property, rather than the result of conditions that are widespread. The applicant purchased the single family residence without being aware of the applicable regulatory requirements of the stream and associated surface water buffer. E. Deed Restrictions By your signature in Section G of this application, you certify that all structural stormwater BMPs required by this variance shall be located in recorded drainage easements, that the easements will run with the land, that the easements cannot be changed or deleted without concurrence from the State, and that the easements will be recorded prior to the sale of any lot. F. Applicant's Certification I, David Thigpen, (print or type name of person listed in Section A, Item 2), certify that the information included on this permit application form is correct, that the project will be constructed in conformance with the approved plans and that the deed restrictions in accordance with Section F of this form will be recorded with all required permit conditions.

Please note that this decision does not assure that participation in the DMS in - lieu fee mitigation program will be approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation for project impacts. It is the responsibility of the applicant to contact permitting agencies to determine if payment to the DMS will be approved. You must also comply with all other state, federal or local government permits, regulations or authorizations associated with the proposed activity including G.S. § 143-214.11. This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter and is not transferable. If we have not received a copy of the issued 404 Permit/401 Certification within this time frame, this acceptance will expire. It is the applicant's responsibility to send copies of the permits to DMS. Once DMS receives a copy of the permit(s) an invoice will be issued based on the required mitigation in that permit and payment must be made prior to conducting the authorized work. The amount of the in -lieu fee to be paid by an applicant is calculated based upon the Fee Schedule and policies listed on the DMS website. Based on the information supplied by you in your request to use the DMS, the impacts for which you are requesting compensatory mitigation credit are summarized in the following table. The amount of mitigation required and assigned to DMS for this impact is determined by permitting agencies and may exceed the impact amounts shown below. River Basin Impact Location 8-di it HUC Impact Type Impact Quantity Neuse 03020201 Riparian Buffer Uo to 751 @ 1.5:1 Upon receipt of payment, DMS will take responsibility for providing the compensatory mitigation. The mitigation will be performed in accordance with the In -Lieu Fee Program instrument dated July 28, 2010 and 15A NCAC 02B .0295 as applicable. Thank you for your interest in the DMS in -lieu fee mitigation program. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Kelly.Williams@ncdenr.gov. Sincerely, FOR James.
