Buffer Authorization Certificate
Page 2 of 3
If you are unable to comply with any of the conditions below, you must notify the Washington Regional
Office within 24 hours (or the next business day if a weekend or holiday) from the time the permittee
becomes aware of the circumstances.
The permittee shall report to the Washington Regional Office any noncompliance with the conditions of
this Authorization Certificate and/or any violation of state regulated riparian buffer rules [15A NCAC
02B .0714]. Information shall be provided orally within 24 hours (or the next business day if a weekend
or holiday) from the time the applicant became aware of the circumstances.
Additional Conditions:
No impacts shall occur to Zone 1 of the protected riparian buffers [except for uses and
activities designated as "exempt" within 15A NCAC 02B .0714(11) and (8)(a), unless
otherwise approved by the Division. This approval and its conditions are final and binding
unless contested. [G.S. 143-215.5] Upon the presentation of proper credentials, the Division
may inspect the property.
The Permittee shall replant the vegetation within temporarily disturbed areas associated
with this project in an "in kind" manner immediately following construction. (Example:
Disturbed areas with pre-existing grassed lawns must be replanted with grass. Disturbed
areas with pre-existing trees or woody vegetation must be replanted with trees and woody
vegetation. Disturbed areas with pre-existing forest vegetation must be replanted with
forest vegetation including at least two different native hardwood tree species at a density
sufficient to provide 260 trees per acre at maturity. This density can usually be achieved by
planting approximately 436 (10 x 10 spacing) to 681 (8 x 8 spacing) trees per acre.)
Restoration of trees/shrubs/forest must be completed by the first subsequent planting
season (November 1 through March 30). Note, if the tree plantings do not survive, they will
need to be replaced such that the density is sufficient to provide 260 trees per acre at
maturity. [15A NCAC 02H .0507(c), 15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(3), and [15A NCAC
02B .0714(11)(ee), (ff]
3. Immediately post- construction, bare soils must be stabilized as quickly as possible by
providing a temporary ground cover. Newly seeded areas should be protected with mulch
and/or erosion matting. This ground cover is a temporary measure used to address erosion
until buffer restoration can be accomplished. [15A NCAC 02B .0611(b)(4) / (c)(4), 15A
NCAC 0213.0203, 15A NCAC 02B .0714(8) and (9)]
This approval and its conditions are final and binding unless contested. [G.S. 143-215.5] Upon the
presentation of proper credentials, the Division may inspect the property.
This Authorization Certificate can be contested as provided in Chapter 150B of the North Carolina
General Statutes by filing a Petition for a Contested Case Hearing (Petition) with the North Carolina
Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) within sixty (60) calendar days. Requirements for filing a
