1. Validity of Plan, Lapse of Approval.An approved erosion and sedimentation control plan is valid for two(2)calendar years

land-disturbing activity will begin.
2. A S&EC plan approval shall be prominently displayed until all construction is complete,all temporary measures have been

inspecting or attempting to inspect a land-disturbing activity.
2. Agents,officials,or other qualified persons authorized by the Town will periodically inspect land-disturbing activities to
ensure compliance with the NC Sedimentation Pollution Control Act,Town ordinance,or other adopted rules or orders,and
to determine whether the measures required in the plan are effective in controlling erosion and sedimentation resulting from
land-disturbing activity.

rules or orders adopted or issued pursuant to this chapter,a notice of violation shall be served upon that person.

rule to protect and maintain existing buffers along watercourses in all of Wake County became effective in 2006.The Neuse River

Wake County with forest vegetation on the adjacent land or"riparian area". In riparian areas with existing forest vegetation in the
first 30 feet directly adjacent to the stream,the rule prohibits land disturbance, new development,and fertilizer use within the first
50 feet of land next to the water. In riparian areas with forest vegetation that is less than 30 feet wide,the rule prohibits land
disturbance, new development,and fertilizer use within the area that contains forest vegetation(but not the entire 50-foot riparian
area). For more information about this riparian area rule, please contact the Division of Water QualiWs Wetland/401 Unit at 919-
807-6300. [15A NCAC 2B.0233]
