BIMS Incident: 202301558
2520 Crossgate Trail Buffer
Catawba County
Dear Mr. Ghazi:
On October 25, 2023, Michael Burkhard of the Division of Water Resources Mooresville Regional Office
conducted a site inspection in response to a complaint received by this office.
During the site inspection, Division of Water Resources staff observed that approximately 12,480 square
feet in Zone 1 of the Catawba River riparian buffer had been impacted by recent land clearing and the
removal of approximately 5 trees. Zone 1 shall consist of vegetated area that is undisturbed. Zone 1
begins at full pond level (760 feet for Lake Norman) and extends landward a distance of 30 feet,
measured horizontally on a line perpendicular to the lake.
Accordingly, the following observations and violations were noted during the Division of Water
Resources inspection and subsequent file review:
The observed buffer impacts described above are violations of the Catawba River Riparian
Buffer Rule Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 02B .0614 as noted below.
a. Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 02B .0614 (7)(a) of the Catawba River
Riparian Buffer requires that Zone 1 shall consist of a vegetated area that is undisturbed
except for uses provided for in Items (8) and (9) of this Rule.
Required Response
Accordingly, you are directed to respond to this letter in writing within 30 calendar days of receipt of
this Notice. Your response should be sent to this office at the letterhead address and include the
following:
1. Immediately ensure that the site is stabilized, and that appropriate erosion and sediment control
measures are installed to ensure protection of Lake Norman.

2. Please explain how and why these impacts occurred.
3. Submit a proposal to restore all impacts from the land disturbing activities. Your proposal must be
sent to this office for review and approval prior to conducting any further activities within the
buffers other than the installation and/or maintenance of appropriate sediment and erosion control
measures to protect downstream water quality. The Division strongly recommends that you secure
the services of a qualified environmental consultant to assist you in resolution of these violations.
4. Restore the site: Submit a buffer restoration plan with specific methods, materials and completion
dates for DWR approval. This plan should include the restoration of the 30 ft. buffer along Lake
Norman. The Restoration Plan should include the requirements as per 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (n)
(2) which includes the following:
a) A map of the proposed restoration or enhancement site.
b) A restoration plan in compliance with 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (n)(2) that includes a
narrative depicting how the Catawba Buffer will be fully restored by planting at least
five (5) trees with the following dimensions: at least a three inch (3") diameter at breast
height, ten (10) feet in height at planting, and of at least two (2) native species (i.e., oak,
sycamore, maple, river birch). The trees are to be planted and evenly dispersed
throughout Zone 1 of the buffer, (i.e., at least 10' from center of tree to center of tree).
c) A grading plan. The site shall be graded in a manner to ensure diffuse flow through the
entire riparian buffer.
d) A monitoring plan to document the success of the restoration. The plan shall include a
proposed schedule and method for monitoring the vegetative status of the restoration or
enhancement site for five years, or before if released by DWR, including the health and
average stem densities of native hardwood tree or tree and shrub species that are to be
counted toward the required density. Monitoring reports should be sent to the following
email addresses: Devynne Brown (Devynne.brownkdeq.nc.gov) and Michael Burkhard
(Michael.burkhardkdeq.nc.gov) at the DWR Mooresville Regional Office by October 1
of each of year for 5 years or before if released by DWR. Also, as a part of the plan,
include notification to DWR when the restoration work has started and when it is
completed.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. DWR requires that the violations, as detailed above, be
abated immediately and properly resolved.
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A, the above -mentioned violations and any future violations are subject to a
