You are required to mitigate for impacts to the protected riparian buffers. The required
area of mitigation to compensate for impacts to the protected riparian buffers will 351
square feet as required under this variance approval and 15A NCAC 213 .0233. The
DWQ has determined that you may satisfy this mitigation requirement by planting at
least 3 native woody trees within the retained portions of the protected buffers. You
must ensure their survival for a period of at least five (5) years. You are required to
replace any of these trees that die within this five (5) year period. You are required to
provide proof in writing that the trees have been planted within one year of the date of
this letter. The proof of plantings shall be submitted to the Wetlands/401 Unit and
copied to the Washington Regional Office. If this mitigation is not acceptable or
practicable, then you may choose to make a payment in to the Riparian Buffer
Restoration Fund to compensate for 351 square feet of mitigation as allowed under 15A
NCAC 02B .0242. If you choose to make this payment, please contact Amy Chapman
of the Wetlands/401 Unit at 919-733-1786 for additional information.
3. Diffuse Flow(no review)
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 213 .0233(5). You have stated
in your minor variance application that stormwater from the home construction will be
directed via gutters outside of the buffers and that the stormwater will not be discharged
into the buffers.
4. Certificate of Completion
Upon completion of all work approved within the 401 Water Quality Certification or
applicable Buffer Rules, and any subsequent modifications, the applicant is required to
return the attached certificate of completion to the 401 Oversight/Express Permitting Unit,

3. Description of any best management practices to be used to control impacts associated with

Our practice would be _ to diffuse. the.-flaw--of water--from- the-impervious
surface such that it enters the-riparian buffer in a-gradual.-manor -
frnm_several spots. _- Sod and seed and straw are--normally-im-ed-along-with

buffers to allow for sheet flow into buffer zones.
4. Please provide an explanation of the following:
(1) The practical difficulties or hardships that would result from the strict application of this
Rule.
This ..would..basically_create.an-unbuildable situation of any-home,.based
on a.. stream-. that. is not . even on this lot. - This floor plan- is--laidout-
for a wheelchair bound -person and any changes -in the footprint would
take away, her ability to move through every room.
(2) How these difficulties or hardships result from conditions that are unique to the property
involved.
This lot was purchased in 1998 and cleared-at.-that time. This lot was
already restricted in the building envelope, because of a sanitary
sewer easement that runs diagonally across the lot from front to back.
(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.
It would be a major hardship to find another flat lot big enough to allow
a one story ranch, wheelchair aonessable near major medical facilities,
with-in our price range. In _a year of searching, this was the only lot
that met all of our needs.

Part 2: Proposed Activity
(Please include attachments if the room provided is insufficient.)
1. Description of proposed activity [Also, please attach a map of sufficient detail (such as a plat
map or site plan) to accurately delineate the boundaries of the land to be utilized in carrying
out the activity, the location and dimension of any disturbance in the riparian buffers
associated with the activity, and the extent of riparian buffers on the land. Include the area
of buffer impact in ftz.]:
Please see the-attached survey_---The building structure.will enter
zone 2 of the riparian buffer and be in it from 5 to 8 feet for
approximately 54 feet, which is the length of the left side of home.
Total Sq. Ft.= 351
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:
This. hone design and-footprint are-specific-to meet-.the. needs of_.my-_
wife, who is -blind.-and .wheelchair--bound.-..-Because of existing easements
and set backs-,.-.the-.house can. not. go -any where- else on the lot. - -

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.):
Our practice -would be _to diffuse the-flaw--of . water-from- the--impervious
surface such that it enters the-riparian buffer-in: a-gradual manor -
from-several spots.-- Sod and seed and straw are-normally-used-along-with
same.native-sppeeccies trees and bushes.. All downspouts to empty outside.

4. Please provide an explanation of the following:
(1) The practical difficulties or hardships that would result from the strict application of this
Rule.

on a . stream--that. is not even on this lot. - This floor plan- is__laidout-
for a wheelchair. bound-person and any changes-in the footprint would
take away her--ability to move through every roam.
(2) How these difficulties or hardships result from conditions that are unique to the property
involved.
This lot was purchased in 1998 and. cleared-at-that time. This lot was
already restricted in-the building envelope, because of a sanitary
sewer easement that runs diagonally across the lot from front to back.
that met all of our needs.
(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.
It would be a major hardship to find anther flat lot big enough to allow
a one story ranch, wheelchair aeoessable near major medical facilities,
with-in our price range. In a year of searching, this was the only lot
