Daniel E. Whitford Property
Tar - Pamlico River Riparian Buffer Violation
Beaufort County
Major Variance Application
On behalf of my client, Mr. Daniel E. Whitford, I provide 2 copies of the following in
making application for a Major Variance from the Tar - Pamlico Riparian Buffer rules:
1. 10/30/2015 Response to NOTICE OF VIOLATION (NOV -2015 PC- 0239).
2. DWR Major Variance Application and supporting documents and proposed BMP.
3. Mitigation Request Form.
4. Letter of Conditional Acceptance of Mitigation Request.
5. Design plans for proposed BMP.
My client as applicant seeks a Major Variance because there are practical difficulties or
unnecessary hardships that prevent compliance with the strict letter of the riparian buffer
protection requirements. If the applicant complies with the provisions of the rule, he cannot
make reasonable use of his property for the safety of his family. The hardship results from the
application of the rule to his property, a hardship which is due to the physical nature of the
applicant's property. The applicant sought a building permit before construction of the violating
structure, and was not informed by building inspectors of the buffer rule or any of its
requirements. The hardship is unique to the applicant's property; the same degree of water safety
monitoring cannot be achieved by locating the structure in another place on the applicant's
property. The applicant has had an engineered BMP designed as a retrofit to the violating
structures to remove and treat the water produced by the introduced impervious surfaces. If the

variance is granted, it will be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the state's
riparian buffer protection requirements and preserves its spirit. If the variance is granted, the
public safety and welfare will be assured, water quality will be protected, and substantial justice
will be done.
If you need additional information, please let me know.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Keith D. Hackney

DANIEL WHITFORD PAMLICO RIVER BUFFER HARDSHIP NARRATIVE
FAMILY GATHERINGS CENTRAL TO HIS FAMILY
Applicant Daniel Whitford and his family have had 4" of July and other family reunions on their
home property for more than two decades. The reunions are a central element of their family.
Tents have been used for shade from the sun and for protection from summer storms, but have
proved unsuccessful and unreliable in 4`h of July weather.
PURCHASE OF THE 50 FOOT LOT
Mr. Whitford purchased his 50 ft. wide river front lot at Core Point for his retirement home. The
lot was purchased first in the name of his company in 2013, and transferred to him in 2014. The
lot was grass and trees all the way to the rip rap bulk head. His lot is immediately adjacent to the
lot owned by his sister. His sister's lot has an old concrete boat ramp immediately adjacent to
Mr. Whitford's property line. Mr. Whitford began planning for a residence on his lot.
EXTENSIVE SEPTIC TANK LINES INSTALLED IN 2013
After much site research, Mr. Whitford obtained a septic tank permit in the summer of 2013 and
installed the prescribed septic tank lines. The installed lines extend close to the trees near the
water. The septic tank lines installed were allowed because of an existing septic tank. Because
the lines utilized most of the open area almost to the trees, no repair area was designated.
Discussion with the Health Department Environmental agents has indicated that any repair lines
would of necessity be between existing lines, and may extend further toward the river and the
trees if necessary.
SHELTER REQUIRED IN 2014 FOR FAMILY SAFETY
In 2014, Mr Whitford began preparations for his first family 4th of July reunion on the new site.
He sought to build an open structure to allow his family reunions to continue. It had to be close
to his sister's boat access to the river. It had to be close to the river to allow parents to monitor
their young children for safe use of the river. It had to provide shelter from the sun, and it had to
be strong enough not to be affected by summer storms. If it was placed behind the trees on his
lot, the shelter could not provide the necessary quick access for the safety of the children in the
water. Placement behind the trees might also interfere with the location of septic tank lines.
BUILDING INSPECTOR APPROVAL OF THE SHELTER
In 2014, Mr. Whitford contacted the Beaufort County Building Inspector's office for a building
permit for his shelter. He was told that the structure he planned did not require a building permit.
He was not told about any areas of concern about siting the structure close to the water. In the
summer of 2014, Mr. Whitford built the shelter structure in time for his family reunion. There
was no other effective place on the lot for the shelter, and any other location would not facilitate
the shade from the sun and the safety watch of the children in the water. Later, a small storage

shed was built close to the shelter.
2015 NOTICE OF VIOLATION OF BUFFER RULES AND ENGINEERING RESPONSE
In 2015, Mr. Whitford learned, from Division of Water Quality and CAMA officers, that he had
violated the Pamlico buffer zone. He was not aware of the buffer zone before that time, and had
certainly not been made aware of its existence by the building inspector. As a response to his
Notice of Violation, Mr. Whitford has engaged an engineer for a design to completely remove the
water beyond the 75 foot AEC and to treat the water flow disturbed by the impervious surface he
created. He has done this to try to comply with the spirit of the buffer rules. His engineer has
informed him that the large capacity of the treatment design will also capture and treat any
downslope flow of water from the impervious surfaces of his house, when built, before it reaches
the riparian buffer. By this engineering, Mr. Whitford wants to effectively eliminate the effect
of his intrusion into the riparian buffer zone.
SHELTER A UNIQUE "LIFE GUARD STATION" FOR SAFETY
The shelter is essential for the safe and protected use of his river front. It is effectively a sturdy
and comfortable "life guard station" beside the river. It has already proved its usefulness since it
was built by providing quick response to incidents with children and pets in the water. If it had
not been inadvertently built, Mr. Whitford and his wife would be seeking a major variance to
allow such a structure to be built in the riparian buffer. It is a need unique to his lot.

DANIEL WHITFORD PAMLICO RIVER BUFFER HARDSHIP NARRATIVE
FAMILY GATHERINGS CENTRAL TO HIS FAMILY
Applicant Daniel Whitford and his family have had 4th of July and other family reunions on their
home property for more than two decades. The reunions are a central element of their family.
Tents have been used for shade from the sun and for protection from summer storms, but have
proved unsuccessful and unreliable in 4`h of July weather.
PURCHASE OF THE 50 FOOT LOT
Mr. Whitford purchased his 50 ft. wide river front lot at Core Point for his retirement home. The
lot was purchased first in the name of his company in 2013, and transferred to him in 2014. The
lot was grass and trees all the way to the rip rap bulk head. His lot is immmediately adjacent to the
lot owned by his sister. His sister's lot has an old concrete boat ramp immediately adjacent to
Mr. Whitford's property line. Mr. Whitford began planning for a residence on his lot.
EXTENSIVE SEPTIC TANK LINES INSTALLED IN 2013
After much site research, Mr. Whitford obtained a septic tank permit in the summer of 2013 and
installed the prescribed septic tank lines. The installed lines extend close to the trees near the
water. The septic tank lines installed were allowed because of an existing septic tank. Because
the lines utilized most of the open area almost to the trees, no repair area was designated.
Discussion with the Health Department Environmental agents has indicated that any repair lines
would of necessity be between existing lines, and may extend further toward the river and the
trees if necessary.
SHELTER REQUIRED IN 2014 FOR FAMILY SAFETY
In 2014, Mr Whitford began preparations for his first family 4th of July reunion on the new site.
He sought to build an open structure to allow his family reunions to continue. It had to be close
to his sister's boat access to the river. It had to be close to the river to allow parents to monitor
their young children for safe use of the river. It had to provide shelter from the sun, and it had to
be strong enough not to be affected by summer storms. If it was placed behind the trees on his
lot, the shelter could not provide the necessary quick access for the safety of the children in the
water. Placement behind the trees might also interfere with the location of septic tank lines.
BUILDING INSPECTOR APPROVAL OF THE SHELTER
In 2014, Mr. Whitford contacted the Beaufort County Building Inspector's office for a building
permit for his shelter. He was told that the structure he planned did not require a building permit.
He was not told about any areas of concern about siting the structure close to the water. In the
summer of 2014, Mr. Whitford built the shelter structure in time for his family reunion. There
was no other effective place on the lot for the shelter, and any other location would not facilitate
the shade from the sun and the safety watch of the children in the water. Later, a small storage

shed was built close to the shelter.
2015 NOTICE OF VIOLATION OF BUFFER RULES AND ENGINEERING RESPONSE
In 2015, Mr. Whitford learned, from Division of Water Quality and CAMA officers, that he had
violated the Pamlico buffer zone. He was not aware of the buffer zone before that time, and had
certainly not been made aware of its existence by the building inspector. As a response to his
Notice of Violation, Mr. Whitford has engaged an engineer for a design to completely remove the
water beyond the 75 foot AEC and to treat the water flow disturbed by the impervious surface he
created. He has done this to try to comply with the spirit of the buffer rules. His engineer has
informed him that the large capacity of the treatment design will also capture and treat any
downslope flow of water from the impervious surfaces of his house, when built, before it reaches
the riparian buffer. By this engineering, Mr. Whitford wants to effectively eliminate the effect
of his intrusion into the riparian buffer zone.
SHELTER A UNIQUE "LIFE GUARD STATION" FOR SAFETY
The shelter is essential for the safe and protected use of his river front. It is effectively a sturdy
and comfortable "life guard station" beside the river. It has already proved its usefulness since it
was built by providing quick response to incidents with children and pets in the water. If it had
not been inadvertently built, Mr. Whitford and his wife would be seeking a major variance to
allow such a structure to be built in the riparian buffer. It is a need unique to his lot.

corrected, repaired or replaced immediately. These deficiencies can affect the integrity
of structures, safety of the public, and the removal efficiency of the BMP.
Important maintenance procedures:
— Immediately after the filter strip is established, any newly planted vegetation
will be watered twice weekly if needed until the plants become established
(commonly six weeks).
— Once a year, the filter strip will be reseeded to maintain a dense growth of
vegetation
— Stable groundcover will be maintained in the drainage area to reduce the
sediment load to the vegetation.
— Two to three times a year, grass filter strips will be mowed and the clippings
harvested to promote the growth of thick vegetation with optimum pollutant
removal efficiency. Turf grass should not be cut shorter than 3 to 5 inches and
may be allowed to grow as tall as 12 inches depending on aesthetic requirements
(NIPC,1993). Forested filter strips do not require this type of maintenance.
— Once a year, the soil will be aerated if necessary.
— Once a year, soil pH will be tested and lime will be added if necessary.
After the filter strip is established, it will be inspected quarterly and within 24 hours
after every storm event greater than 1.0 inch (or 1.5 inches if in a Coastal County).
Records of operation and maintenance will be kept in a known set location and will be
available upon request.
Inspection activities shall be performed as follows. Any problems that are found shall
be repaired immediately.

LOCATION:
This site is located along Down Shore Road which runs parallel to the Pamlico River.
Down Shore Road is located at the dead end of Core Point Road near Blounts Creek, NC.
DESCRIPTION:
The project is to design a BMP system which will aid in treatment of stormwater runoff
from impervious area which has been developed within the Tar Pamlico Riparian Buffer
Zones as well as the CAMA area of environmental concern. The lot is a residential lot
which is approximately 50' wide and 291' long. The owner is requesting a variance for
the construction of approximately 357 sf of impervious area within the restricted buffer
zones.
EXISTING DRAINAGE PATTERNS:
The property is relatively flat in this general area and this site has approximately 5' of
elevation change across the lot from south to north. This site drains directly into the
Pamlico River. Included with this report are copies of the soils map and USGS topo map.
PROPOSED PROJECT:
The project is designed to capture all the runoff from the impervious areas which have
been constructed within the buffer area and treat this stormwater prior to the water
entering into the buffer area. Since all of the impervious area within the buffers is from
roof top drainage a combination gutter and piping system can be used to pipe the water
up stream and into a designed BMW. Since this site is limited in the amount of available
space the best management practice chosen to treat the water is a level spreader with a
vegetative filter strip.
This option will diffuse the flow prior to entering the buffer as well as provide for
nitrogen, phosphorus and suspended solid reductions. Two separate supplement sheets
have been included to show the calculations for both these treatment methods. The site
only has 2.48% impervious area and produces less than 1 cfs under the 10 yr design
storm event. Since the minimum length of level spreader is 10' both the 1 "/hr event as
well as the 10 yr event can cross the proposed level spreader. However a weir control
device is designed to only allow the 1 "/ hour event to drain into the level spreader. All
other events shall bypass the system.
The elevation of the level spreader is set based on existing contours for the site as well as
the elevation which works best with the pressure piping system. Using the Hazen
Williams formula for determining total dynamic head in pressure lines this system under
the 10 yr event produces approximately 31.5 gpm. At this flow rate the amount of
friction loss in a 4" pipe system is less than V. The elevation difference is only 0.5' so
with a TDH of 1' the total 10 yr storm event can drain over the level spreader. Since a
gutter system is being proposed the available head is over 8' so the system will work even

if there is debris in the system. It is important for maintenance that the gutter system be
cleaned each year and a protective leaf guard installed to provide protection to the
system.
The total flow used to design the level spreader was based on the rational method using
an intensity of 1 "/hr. The peak flow is 0.12 cfs. The flow splitter device has been
designed with a weir opening to allow 0.12 cfs of flow into the blind swale. The depth of
flow to carry this amount across a weir with opening of 0.5' is 0.25' so the invert of the
blind Swale is set to 2.75. Once the design storm is met the additional runoff will be
diverted into weir 2 which will carry over the 10 yr storm event flow.
Calculations for the design storm events as well as the weir and swale design data has
been provided in the calculations. Also the NOAA rainfall intensity data is provided for
this site. The calculations for determining the combined c factor used in the rational
method for small stormwater system designs is also included.

This table gives the engineering classifications and the range of engineering
properties for the layers of each soil in the survey area.
Whitford Variance Project Data
Hydrologic soil group is a group of soils having similar runoff potential under similar
storm and cover conditions. The criteria for determining Hydrologic soil group is
found in the National Engineering Handbook, Chapter 7 issued May 2007(http:H
directives.sc.egov. usda.gov /OpenNonWebContent.aspx ?content= 17757.wba).
Listing HSGs by soil map unit component and not by soil series is a new concept
for the engineers. Past engineering references contained lists of HSGs by soil
senes. Soil series are continually being defined and redefined, and the list of soil
series names changes so frequently as to make the task of maintaining a single
national list virtually impossible. Therefore, the criteria is now used to calculate the
HSG using the component soil properties and no such national series lists will be
maintained. All such references are obsolete and their use should be discontinued.
Soil properties that influence runoff potential are those that influence the minimum
rate of infiltration for a bare soil after prolonged wetting and when not frozen. These
properties are depth to a seasonal high water table, saturated hydraulic conductivity
after prolonged wetting, and depth to a layer with a very slow water transmission
rate. Changes in soil properties caused by land management or climate changes
also cause the hydrologic soil group to change. The influence of ground cover is
treated independently. There are four hydrologic soil groups, A, B, C, and D, and
three dual groups, A/D, BID, and C /D. In the dual groups, the first letter is for drained
areas and the second letter is for undrained areas.
The four hydrologic soil groups are described in the following paragraphs:
Group A. Soils having a high infiltration rate (low runoff potential) when thoroughly
wet. These consist mainly of deep, well drained to excessively drained sands or
gravelly sands. These soils have a high rate of water transmission.
Group B. Soils having a moderate infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These
consist chiefly of moderately deep or deep, moderately well drained or well drained
soils that have moderately fine texture to moderately coarse texture. These soils
have a moderate rate of water transmission.
Group C. Soils having a slow infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These consist
chiefly of soils having a layer that impedes the downward movement of water or
soils of moderately fine texture or fine texture. These soils have a slow rate of water
transmission.
Group D. Soils having a very slow infiltration rate (high runoff potential) when
thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of clays that have a high shrink -swell
potential, soils that have a high water table, soils that have a claypan or clay layer
at or near the surface, and soils that are shallow over nearly impervious material.
These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission.
Depth to the upper and lower boundaries of each layer is indicated.

Texture is given in the standard terms used by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
These terms are defined according to percentages of sand, silt, and clay in the
fraction of the soil that is less than 2 millimeters in diameter. "Loam," for example,
is soil that is 7 to 27 percent clay, 28 to 50 percent silt, and less than 52 percent
sand. If the content of particles coarser than sand is 15 percent or more, an
appropriate modifier is added, for example, "gravelly."
Classification of the soils is determined according to the Unified soil classification
system (ASTM, 2005) and the system adopted by the American Association of
State Highway and Transportation Officials ( AASHTO, 2004).
The Unified system classifies soils according to properties that affect their use as
construction material. Soils are classified according to particle -size distribution of
the fraction less than 3 inches in diameter and according to plasticity index, liquid
limit, and organic matter content. Sandy and gravelly soils are identified as GW,
GP, GM, GC, SW, SP, SM, and SC; silty and clayey soils as ML, CL, OL, MH, CH,
and OH; and highly organic soils as PT. Soils exhibiting engineering properties of
two groups can have a dual classification, for example, CL -ML.
The AASHTO system classifies soils according to those properties that affect
roadway construction and maintenance. In this system, the fraction of a mineral soil
that is less than 3 inches in diameter is classified in one of seven groups from A -1
through A -7 on the basis of particle -size distribution, liquid limit, and plasticity index.
Soils in group A -1 are coarse grained and low in content of fines (silt and clay). At
the other extreme, soils in group A -7 are fine grained. Highly organic soils are
classified in group A -8 on the basis of visual inspection.
If laboratory data are available, the A -1, A -2, and A -7 groups are further classified
as A -1 -a, A -1 -b, A -2-4, A -2 -5, A -2-6, A -2 -7, A -7 -5, or A -7-6. As an additional
refinement, the suitability of a soil as subgrade material can be indicated by a group
index number. Group index numbers range from 0 for the best subgrade material
to 20 or higher for the poorest.
Rock fragments larger than 10 inches in diameter and 3 to 10 inches in diameter
are indicated as a percentage of the total soil on a dry- weight basis. The
percentages are estimates determined mainly by converting volume percentage in
the field to weight percentage.
Percentage (of soil particles) passing designated sieves is the percentage of the
soil fraction less than 3 inches in diameter based on an ovendry weight. The sieves,
numbers 4, 10, 40, and 200 (USA Standard Series), have openings of 4.76, 2.00,
0.420, and 0.074 millimeters, respectively. Estimates are based on laboratory tests
of soils sampled in the survey area and in nearby areas and on estimates made in
the field.
Liquid limit and plasticity index (Atterberg limits) indicate the plasticity
characteristics of a soil. The estimates are based on test data from the survey area
or from nearby areas and on field examination.

1, .. = Refund Policy -for Fees Paid to DMS In -Lieu Fee Programs (9/21/2009)
Purpose: The purpose of this policy is to make clear the circumstances and process under which a
permiee can obtain a refund while simultaneously balancing customer service and responsible
business practices. This policy applies to all refund requests made on or after the publication date of
this policy.
Policy Statement: The policy of DMS is to allow for refunds under certain conditions.
1. All refund requests must be made in writing to the DMS In -Lieu Fee Program Coordinator at
kelly.williamsa- mdenr.gov:
2. All refund requests are subject to fund availability. DMS does not guarantee fund availability for
any request.
3. The request must either come from the entity that made the payment or from an authorized agent.
Third parties requesting refunds must provide written authorization from the entity that made the
payment specifying the name and address of the authorized refund recipient.
4. Refund requests related to unintended overpayments, typographical errors or incorrect invoices
should be brought the attention of the In -Lieu Fee Program Coordinator as soon as possible. Such
requests are typically approved without delay.
5. Payments made under the incremental payment procedure are not eligible for refunds.
6. Refund requests made within nine months of payment to DMS will only be considered for requests
associated with projects that have been terminated or modified where the permittee's mitigation
requirements have been reduced. Such requests must be accompanied by written verification from the
permitting agency that the project has been cancelled, the permits have been rescinded or have been
modified, or the mitigation requirements have been reduced.
7. Refund requests made more than nine months from the payment date will only be considered for
permits that were terminated or modified to not require any mitigation. Such requests must be
accompanied by written verification from the permitting agency that the project has been cancelled, the
permits have been rescinded and/or mitigation is no longer required.
8. Refund requests not meeting the criteria specified above are not eligible for a refund.
9. Refund requests that meet the criteria above will be elevated to DMS Senior Management for
review. The following considerations apply to all refund requests:
a. availability of funds after consideration of all existing project and regulatory obligations
b. the date the payment was made
c. the likelihood DMS can use the mitigation procured using the payment to meet other
mitigation requirements
10. Once a refund has been approved, the refund recipient must provide a completed W -9 form to the
DMS In -Lieu fee Program Coordinator within two weeks in order to process the refund though the
State Controller's Office.
11. All decisions shall be final.

3. The request must either come from the entity that made the payment or from an authorized agent.
Third parties requesting refunds must provide written authorization from the entity that made the
payment specifying the name and address of the authorized refund recipient.
4. Refund requests related to unintended overpayments, typographical errors or incorrect invoices
should be brought the attention of the In -Lieu Fee Program Coordinator as soon as possible. Such
requests are typically approved without delay.
5. Payments made under the incremental payment procedure are not eligible for refunds.
6. Refund requests made within nine months of payment to DMS will only be considered for requests
associated with projects that have been terminated or modified where the permittee's mitigation
requirements have been reduced. Such requests must be accompanied by written verification from the
permitting agency that the project has been cancelled, the permits have been rescinded or have been
modified, or the mitigation requirements have been reduced.
7. Refund requests made more than nine months from the payment date will only be considered for
permits that were terminated or modified to not require any mitigation. Such requests must be
accompanied by written verification from the permitting agency that the project has been cancelled, the
permits have been rescinded and/or mitigation is no longer required.
8. Refund requests not meeting the criteria specified above are not eligible for a refund.
9. Refund requests that meet the criteria above will be elevated to DMS Senior Management for
review. The following considerations apply to all refund requests:
a. availability of funds after consideration of all existing project and regulatory obligations
b. the date the payment was made
c. the likelihood DMS can use the mitigation procured using the payment to meet other
mitigation requirements
10. Once a refund has been approved, the refund recipient must provide a completed W -9 form to the
DMS In -Lieu fee Program Coordinator within two weeks in order to process the refund though the
State Controller's Office.
11. All decisions shall be final.

This is a conditional acceptance letter. The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the NCDEQ Division of Mitigation
Services (DMS) is willing to accept payment for compensatory mitigation for impacts associated with the above
referenced project as indicated in the table below. Please note that this decision does not assure that participation in the
DMS in -lieu fee mitigation program will be approved by the permit- issuing agencies as mitigation for project impacts. It is
the responsibility of the applicant to contact permitting agencies to determine if payment to the DMS will be approved.
You must also comply with all other state, federal or local government permits, regulations or authorizations associated
with the proposed activity including G.S. § 143 - 214.11.
This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter and is not transferable. If we have not received a
copy of the issued 404 Permit/401 Certification /CAMA permit within this time frame this acceptance will expire. It
is the applicant's responsibility to send copies of the permits or other applicable documentation to DMS. Once DMS
receives a copy of the permit(s) an invoice will be issued based on the required mitigation in the permits and payment
must be made prior to conducting the authorized work. The amount of the in -lieu fee to be paid by an applicant is
calculated based upon the Fee Schedule and policies listed at http: / /portal.ncdenr.org /web /eep.
Based on the information supplied by you in your request to use the DMS, the impacts that may require compensatory
mitigation are summarized in the following table. The amount of mitigation required and assigned to DMS for this impact
is determined by permitting agencies and may exceed the impact amounts shown below.
