3. Diffuse Flow
An additional condition is that all stormwater shall be directed as diffuse flow at non-erosive
velocities through the protected stream buffers and will not re -concentrate before discharging into
the stream as identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0259(5).
4. 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 320 trees per acre at maturity. This
density can usually be achieved by planting approximately 436 (10 x 10 spacing) to 681 (8x 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 320 trees per acre at maturity. [15A
NCAC 02H .0507 (c), 15A NCAC 02H .0506 (b)(3), and 15A NCAC 02B.0259 (6)]

specifications for this project are incorporated by reference as part of the Authorization. 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 Authorization and is responsible for complying with all conditions.
[15A NCAC 02B .0507(d)(2)]
