DENR - WATER QUALITY
WETLANDS AND STORMWATER BRANCH
Approval of Tar-Pamlico River Riparian Buffer Protection Rules Minor Variance [15A NCAC 2B.0259
(9)(b)]
Dear Mr. Pledger,
You have our approval, in accordance with the conditions listed below, to impact 501 square feet
(ft) of Zone 2 of the protected buffers to construct a drive on the subject property as described within
your variance request dated July 5, 2006 and received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on
July 11, 2006. These impacts must be in accordance with the plot plan submitted with your
application. This letter shall act as your Minor Variance approval as described within 15A NCAC 213
.0259(9)(b). In addition to this approval, you should obtain or otherwise comply with any other
required federal, state or local permits before you go ahead with your project including (but not limited
to) Erosion and Sediment Control and Division of Coastal Management regulations.
This approval is for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you change
your project, you must notify us and you may be required to send us a new application. If the
property is sold, the new owner(s) must be given a copy of this variance approval and plot
plan and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. This approval requires you to
follow any conditions listed below.
The Additional Conditions of the Certification are:
1. No Zone 1 Impacts
No impacts (except for proposed and "exempt" uses as identified within 15A NCAC 213 .0259) shall
occur to Zone 1 of the protected riparian buffers unless otherwise approved by the DWQ. No
impervious surfaces shall be added to Zone 1, unless otherwise approved by the DWQ.

2. Buffer Mitigation (EEP)
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 is 501 square
feet as required under this variance approval and 15A NCAC 2B .0259. 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 2B .0259, this contribution will satisfy our compensatory mitigation
requirements under 15A NCAC 2B.0259(9)(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 [phone] 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 752 ft2 of required riparian buffer mitigation
for impacts to 501 ft2 of protected riparian buffers; 03-03-07, 29-9-1-(3) 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 .0259) 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. This plan should include a proposal to plant native species of
hardwood trees with in the riparian buffer area. For more information, please contact this
office. 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 2B .0259(5).
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 /Wetlands Unit, North Carolina Division of Water
Quality, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC, 27699-1650.
