2. Monitoring
Visual monitoring of the restoration project shall be conducted at a minimum of quarterly for
the first year or two bankfull events (whichever is longer), and then annually until the site is
stable (particularly after storm events) and vegetation is successful. Any failure of structures,
stream banks, or vegetation may require future repairs or replacement, which requires
coordination with the Raleigh Regional office to ensure the stability and water quality of the
stream and downstream waters. [15A NCAC 02H .0506 (b)(2) and (b)(3)]
3. Buffer Impacts
Please note that the proposed buffer impacts must be approved by the Town of Chapel Hill
before any impacts authorized in this certification occur. The Town of Chapel Hill is the
authority responsible for the Jordan Lake Watershed buffer rules in this area.
4. Please be aware that impacting streams and the Neuse riparian buffer without first securing the
issuance of a 401 Water Quality Certification and Buffer Authorization is a violation of Title 15A
NCAC 02H .0500. Pursuant to G.S. 143-251.6A, these violations and any further violations may
be subject to a civil penalty assessment of up to $25,000.00 per day for each violation. [15A
NCAC 02H .0500]
This approval is for the purpose and design described in your application. The plans and specifications
for this project are incorporated by reference as part of the Certification. If you change your project,
you must notify the Division and you may be required to submit a new application package with the
appropriate fee. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this approval letter and
General Certification(s)/Permit/Authorization and is responsible for complying with all conditions. [15A
NCAC 02H .0507(d)(2)]
This approval and its conditions are final and binding unless contested. [G.S. 143-215.5]
