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 Application. All forestry operations activities shall be

02H .0502 and .0502].
4. The Permittee shall replant the vegetation within temporarily disturbed areas associated with this
project in an "in kind" manner immediately following construction. (Example: Disturbed areas with
pre-existing grassed lawns can be replanted with grass. Disturbed areas with pre-existing trees or
woody vegetation must be replanted with trees and 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 achieved by planting approximately 360 (11 x 11 spacing) to 538 (9 x 9 spacing)
trees per 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 survive, they will
need to be replaced such that the density is sufficient to provide 320 trees per acre at maturity. [15A

appropriate fee. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of this approval letter
and Authorization and is responsible for complying with all conditions. [15A NCAC 02B .0507(d)(2)]
6. During construction of the proposed project, fueling, lubrication and general equipment maintenance
should not take place within 50 feet of a waterbody or wetlands to prevent contamination by fuel and
oils. [15A NCAC 02H .0506 (b)(3) and (c)(3) and 15A NCAC 026 .0200 (3)(f)]
7. Upon completion of all work approved within the 401 Water Quality Certification or applicable Buffer
