Mr. Bass,
As discussed during our conversation this morning regarding the development of Lots 24, 25, and 26 on Bayside Drive in
the Rivershores Subdivision near Bridgeton and the applicability on the Neuse River Riparian Buffer, as of October 1,
2015, under SL 2015-0246 the buffers are measured at the normal waterline and include the coastal wetlands. Please
find attached pages 16 and 17 of SL 2015-0246 which applies to the Rule. The buffer still encompasses the 50-foot area
and if coastal wetlands do not exist then the buffer begins at normal waterline and proceeds 50 feet
landward. Therefore,the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules would not apply to the subject lots.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.

(g) The Commission may adopt rules to implement this section."
SECTION 13.1.(c) The definitions set out in G.S. 143-214.23A(a), as enacted by
Section 13.1(b) of this act, shall apply to this section. Notwithstanding G.S. 143-214.23A(b), as
enacted by Section 13.1(b) of this act, a local government ordinance that establishes a riparian
buffer requirement for the protection of water quality that exceeds riparian buffer requirements
necessary to comply with or implement federal or State law or a condition of a permit,
certificate, or other approval issued by a federal or State agency that is in effect on October 1,
2015, may remain in effect and enforceable until January 1, 2017. If the local government
ordinance is authorized by the Environmental Management Commission pursuant to
G.S. 143-214.23A(d), as enacted by Section 13.1(b) of this act, on or before January 1, 2017,
the ordinance may continue to be in effect and enforceable. If the local government ordinance
is not authorized by the Environmental Management Commission pursuant to
G.S. 143-214.23A(d), as enacted by Section 13.1(b) of this act, on or before January 1, 2017,
the ordinance shall no longer be in effect or enforceable.
SECTION 13.1.(d) This section becomes effective October 1, 2015.
SECTION 13.2.(a) The Environmental Management Commission, with the
assistance of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, shall examine ways to
provide regulatory relief from the impacts of riparian buffer rules adopted to implement the
State's Riparian Buffer Protection Program for parcels of land that were platted on or before the
effective date of the applicable riparian buffer rule. The Commission shall specifically examine
ways to fairly provide properties with relief where a change in use has occurred that would
otherwise trigger the requirements of the riparian buffer rules. Such relief would be determined
on a case-by-case basis and provide relief to successor owners. For purposes of this study, a
change in use that would otherwise trigger the requirements of the riparian buffer rules shall
not include either of the following circumstances:
(1) Developing from a vacant condition to a use allowed by the current local
regulations, unless the local regulations have been changed at the request of
the property owner since the date the buffer rule was applied; the parcel was
recorded prior to the effective date of the applicable buffer rule; and the
allowable use is for any nonfarming or nonagricultural purpose.
(2) The property configuration has not been altered except as a result of either
an eminent domain action or a recombination involving not more than three
parcels, all of which were recorded before the effective date of the applicable
buffer rule.
The Commission may also consider and recommend other circumstances that should
not constitute a change in use that would otherwise trigger the requirements of the riparian
buffer rules. No later than April 1, 2016, the Commission shall report the results of its study,
including any recommendations,to the Environmental Review Commission.
SECTION 13.2.(b) This section becomes effective October 1, 2015.
SECTION 13.3.(a) As used in this section, "coastal wetlands" means any salt
marsh or other marsh subject to regular or occasional flooding by tides, including wind tides,
whether or not the tidewaters reach the marshland areas through natural or artificial
watercourses,provided this shall not include hurricane or tropical storm tides.
SECTION 13.3.(b) For purposes of implementing 15A NCAC 02B .0233 (Meuse
River Basin: Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy: Protection and Maintenance of
Existing Riparian Buffers) and 15A NCAC 02B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico River Basin: Nutrient
Sensitive Waters Management Strategy: Protection and Maintenance of Existing Riparian
Buffers), Zone 1 of a protective riparian buffer for coastal wetlands shall begin at the most
landward limit of the normal high water level or the normal water level, as appropriate.
SECTION 13.3.(c) The Environmental Management Commission shall adopt
temporary rules to amend its rules consistent with this section.
SECTION 13.3.(d) This section becomes effective October 1, 2015.
SECTION 13.4,(a) The Environmental Management Commission shall amend its
rules for the protection of existing riparian buffers to provide for the case-by-case modification
of the requirement for maintaining woody vegetation in the riparian buffer area upon a showing
by a landowner that alternative measures will provide equal or greater water quality protection.

temporary rules to amend its rules consistent with this section.
