Hyde Court'ry far commercial development and #nstailation of s septic tank and dr~n field. In>3ufficient
evidence Is present in our tiles to cor,ctuds that yr,ur Prgi®ct must D6 built as planned fn the protected
krutt®rs #n aaoordance wJth 15A NCAC 2hl .t7~58. Furthermor®, the proposed Impacts will require a
Ma)er Varsanoe item the NC Environmental Management Commission slncg yo have proposr>:d

Only impact Zone 2 (beyond 3U f(~t from the ec~9® of the riparian buffer), than pWQ staff have ih6
