2. Diffuse Flow
All stormwater must be directed and maintained as diffuse flow at non-erosive velocities
through the protected stream buffers such that it will not re-concentrate before discharging
into a stream. [15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(5)]
Because the stormwater management plan approved by Wake County is being used to meet
diffuse flow requirements on this project, you are required to obtain the approval before
any impacts authorized in this certification occur. After it is approved, the SMP may not be
modified without prior written authorization from Wake County [15A NCAC 02H
.0506(b)(5)].
3. No Waste, Spoil, Solids, or Fill of Any Kind
No waste, spoil, solids, or fill of any kind shall occur in wetlands, waters, or riparian areas
beyond the footprint of the impacts depicted in the Pre-Construction Notification. All
construction activities, including the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of
sediment and erosion control Best Management Practices, shall be performed so that no
violations of state water quality standards, statutes, or rules occur [15A NCAC 02H .0501
and .0502].
4. Protective Fencing
All wetlands, streams, surface waters, and riparian buffers located within 50 feet of the
construction area on the project site shall be clearly marked (example- orange fabric
fencing) prior to any land disturbing activities and must be maintained on the property until
the project phase is completed. [15A NCAC 02H .0506 (b)(2) and (c)(2) and 15A NCAC 02H
.0507 (c)]
5. This approval is for the purpose and design described in your application. The plans and
specifications for this project are incorporated by reference as part of the Buffer
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 is responsible for
complying with all conditions.
6. This approval and its conditions are final and binding unless contested. [G.S. 143-215.5]
