Buffer Mitigation (EEP) The required area of mitigation to compensate for impacts to the protected riparian buffers is 4863 square feet as required under this variance approval and 15A NCAC 02B .0260(3)(b)(ii) You have the option to make a payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund administered by the NC Ecological Enhancement Program (EEP) to meet this mitigation requirement. This has been determined by the DWQ to be a suitable method to meet the mitigation requirement. In accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0259, this contribution will satisfy our compensatory mitigation requirements under 15A NCAC 02B .0259(10)(b). Until the EEP receives and clears your check (made payable to: DENR - Ecological Enhancement Program Office), no impacts specified in this variance approval shall occur. The EEP should be contacted at (919) 715-0476 if you have any questions concerning payment into the EEP. For accounting purposes, this variance approval authorizes payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund to compensate for 4863 ft2 of required riparian buffer mitigation for impacts to 3242 ft2 of protected riparian buffers; 03-03-07,29-34-34-(2) river and subbasin." The DWQ will accept an alternative method of mitigation (including but not limited to Buffer Restoration or Enhancement) pursuant to the Buffer Mitigation Rule (15A NCAC 02B .0260)(9) to satisfy this mitigation requirement. If you choose to pursue this option, then you are required to submit in writing a mitigation plan to the DWQ Wetlands/401 Unit/ Washington Regional Office for review and approval. No impacts shall occur to the protected buffers until the mitigation plan is approved by the DWQ. 3. Diffuse Flow An additional condition is that all stormwater shall be directed as diffuse flow at non-erosive velocities through the protected stream buffers and will not re-concentrate before discharging into the stream as identified within 15A NCAC 02B.0259(5). 4.

Include the area of buffer impact in fe. j. The site is a former marina that served the area for a number of years. It is the intent of the owners to redevelop the property as a 35 unit residential community. The parcel is approximately 2 acres in size. Construction activities involved will included grading, construction of new buildings, intallation of stormwater management devices and paving. Equipment that will be used is typical of today's construction methods including, bulldozers, skid steer loaders, fork lifts, pickup trucks, etc. There are currently 5585 square feet of impervious impacts to Zone 1 and Zone 2 located in the Tar-Pamilco Buffer. A review of aerial photography and interviews with local residents indicate these areas existed at least in prior to January 1, 2000. The total existing impervious area for the entire site is 55,000 square feet Photos of the existing site are attached. 2. State reasons why this plan for the proposed activity cannot be practically accomplished, reduced or reconfigured to better minimize or eliminate disturbance to the riparian buffers. The project is unique in that it can be accomplished without a variance being granted. However, in that particular case, the existing impacts are not minimized to the extent possible. The alternate plan would use the existing impervious areas in Zone 1 and Zone 2 for buildings and paving. There would be little if any reduction of the existing impacts. It is the Owner's view that this does configuration does not meet the intent of the rule regarding avoidance and mitigation. If the variance is granted for the proposed plan, all impacts in Zone 1 are removed and vegetation would be restored. The impervious area in the riparian buffer will be reduced by 2343 square feet. In addition, vegetation would be restored in those areas of Zone 2 that are not impacted. The Owner's would entertain the idea of dedicating the open un-impacted areas of Zone 1 and Zone 2 to a third party for a perpetual conservation easement. 3. Description of any best management practices to be used to control impacts associated with the proposed activity (i.e., control of runoff from impervious surfaces to provide diffuse flow, re-planting vegetation or enhancement of existing vegetation, etc.): The first inch of rainfall will be captured and passed through infiltration basins for treatment in accordance with the DENR BMP Manual. Larger storms will bypass the system and will be converted to diffuse flow. The buffers will be re-vegetated in accordance with a plan approved by the Division of Water Quality. An approved sedimentation and erosion control plan will be implemented. 4.1 The practical difficulties or hardships that would result from the strict application of this Rule. The strict application of the Rule, in this case, does not encourage the Owner to mitigate or remove existing impervious area from Zone 1 of the riparian buffer. Strict applicaton of the Rule does not appear to meet the intent of avoidance and mitigation. The project can be built using impervious area that existed prior to January 1, 2000. 4.2 How these difficulties or hardships result from conditions that are unique to the property involved. These difficulties are unique to this site given the shape of the parcel and the areas of existing impervious areas. The site is much deeper than it is wide and is bordered by Pantego Creek on two sides, rather than one side of water frontage. 4.3 If economic hardship is the major consideration, then include a specific explanation of the economic hardships and the proportion of the hardship to the entire value of the project. Economic hardship is not a major consideration in the request for the variance. As shown on the alternate site plan, the Owner can achieve the goal of at least 35 units without the variance. A reduction in the existing Zone 1 impacts will be realized if the variance is granted. Consulting Engineer P.O.
