Dear Mr. Mustin:
In accordance with the State of North Carolina's Rule 15A NCAC 0213.0267-Jordan Water Supply Nutrient Strategy: Protection
and Maintenance of Riparian Areas, any applicant that intends to disturb Zone 1 and Zone 2 of the stream buffer must show
that there is "No Practical Alternative" than to impact the stream buffer. The applicant submitted a "No Practical Alternative
Request" on January 2, 2023, stating that the stream buffer disturbances in Zone 1 and Zone 2 were necessary for the
construction/installation of a perpendicular roadway crossing.
The City of Greensboro determined that the permanent impacts of the Jordan Watersupply Watershed stream are the
following:
Perpendicular Roadway Crossing
Zone 1- Permanent Impacts: 9,211 SF
Zone 2: Permanent Impacts: 4,431 SF
Information submitted by the applicant explained how the impacts have been reduced to the maximum extent practicable.
Please be advised the applicant should secure any other required federal, state, and local certifications before the project
proceeds.
This approval is valid only for the purpose and design that was described in the application. If any modifications are made to
the project a written notification describing the changes, must be submitted to the City of Greensboro Water Resources
Department, Engineering Division (Stormwater Engineering Section). If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a
copy of the certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions.
This letter completes the review of The City of Greensboro, Water Resources Department, Engineering Division (Stormwater
Engineering Section) under the Determination of No Practical Alternative. If you have any questions, please contact Johnnie A.
