6. Sediment and Erosion Control Measures
Appropriate measures should be installed prior to any land clearing activities to protect waters
and wetlands from turbidity and/ or sedimentation. These measures should be routinely
inspected and properly maintained, and excavated materials should be contained outside the
wetland boundary. Excessive silt and sediment loads can have numerous detrimental effects
on aquatic resources including destruction of spawning habitat, suffocation of eggs, and
clogging of gills of aquatic species. [15A NCAC 02H .0506 (b)(3) and (c)(3)]
7. Protective Fencing
All wetlands, streams, surface waters, and riparian buffers located within 50 feet of the

prior to any land disturbing activities and must be maintained on the property until the project
phase is completed. (15A NCAC 02H.0506 (b)(2) and (c)(2) and 15A NCAC 02H.0507 (c)]
8. All mechanized equipment operated near surface waters or wetlands will be regularly
inspected and maintained to prevent contamination of waters and wetlands from fuels,
lubricants, hydraulic fluids or other potential toxic chemicals. In the event of a hydrocarbon
or chemical spill, the permitee /contractor shall immediately contact the Division of Water
Resources, between the hours of 8 am to 5 pm at the Wilmington Regional Office at
910.796.7215 and after hours and on weekends call (800) 858 -0368. Management of such
spills shall comply with provisions of the North Carolina Oil Pollution and Hazardous
Substances Control Act. [15A NCAC 02H .0506 (b)(3) and (c)(3), 15A NCAC 02B.0200 (3) (f)
