C. 27894 Subject: Dear Mr. Koss: NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES RALEIGH REGIONAL OFFICE Neuse River Basin Riparian Buffer Rules NBRRO 00 -295 West Mill Center Highway 54 Wake County This Office has reviewed the information submitted on September 20, 2000 relevant to the subject property and I conducted a site visit for the above referenced project. This project is referenced by the Raleigh Regional Office as NBRRO 00 -295. It was determined that the feature depicted on the USGS and Wake County Soils is at least an intermittent stream and therefore subject to the Neuse River Basin: Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy; Protection and Maintenance of Existing Riparian Areas, Administrative Code T15A:02B.0233 (NCAC 0233). The area applicable to protection under the Neuse Buffer Rules is located on the northern property boundary and this letter is being written in response to your request to impact Zone 2 with the placement of fill. NCAC .0233 (6) states:" Grading and revegetating in Zone 2 only is exempt provided that the stormwater flow is diffused, the health of the existing vegetation in Zone 1 is not compromised and the disturbed area is stabilized." NCAC .0233 (7) further defines exempt as "Uses designated as exempt are allowed within the riparian buffer. Exempt uses shall be designed, constructed and maintained to minimize soil disturbance and to provide the maximum water quality protection practical." Accordingly, the Raleigh Regional Office sees this fill activity as exempt from the Neuse Riparian Buffer .. Rule. Thank you for your attention to this matter and if this Office can be of any assistance or if you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
