All constructed stormwater conveyance outlets shall be directed and maintained to flow

stormwater facilities that are considered to remove nitrogen and phosphorus.
Additionally, a stormwater management plan for this project shall provided to this Office

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 260 trees per acre at maturity. This density can usually be

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

trees per acre at maturity. [15A NCAC 02H .0507 (c), 15A NCAC 02H .0506 (b)(3), and 15A
