Class WS -IV, B, Critical Area (CA) Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW) in the Neuse River
Basin.
• DWR staff observed the removal of trees, placement of earthen fill and grading for
approximately 200 linear feet in Zone 1 of riparian buffered Pond A (Photographs 1 & 2).
• DWR staff observed the placement of earthen fill and grading for approximately 90 linear
feet in Zone 1 of riparian buffered Stream A (Photographs 3 & 4).
Item II. Stream Standards -Other Waste (In -Stream Sediment)
Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 02B .0211 (12) requires that "Oils; deleterious

The Remediation plan should address the following:
Riparian Buffer Violations Please submit a Riparian Buffer Restoration Plan to this office
for review and approval. This plan must be developed to ensure that at least two native tree
species are planted at a density sufficient to provide 320 trees per acre at maturity. This
density is usually achieved by planting approximately 436 trees per acre on a 10 ft. x 10 ft.
grid or 681 trees/acre on an 8 ft. x 8 ft. grid. This plan must include the types of native
woody vegetation selected, methodology of planting, and a site map indicating the location
of the replanting efforts.
2. Removal of Fill in Riparian Buffer The earthen fill in Zone 1 of the riparian buffer, as
detailed above, must be removed in order to ensure compliance with the riparian buffer rule
Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 02B .0233 (4).
3. Stream Restoration Plans (Sediment Impacts) Sediment needs to be removed from the
stream and riparian buffer area utilizing shovels and buckets. Sediment should be removed
down to the native soil. No heavy equipment can be utilized in the stream/streamside area.
Sediment that has been removed from stream/riparian buffer needs to be secured upslope,
landward of the 50 -foot buffer and stabilized with thick vegetative cover.
4. Erosion control Please address the control measures that will be used for temporary
stabilization/sediment control while this work is under way. Please provide a schedule with
dates by which this work will be completed. As a part of your restoration plan, it is required
that you include a permanent stabilization plan for the disturbed areas.
5. Plan and Schedule. Please provide a detailed schedule with dates explaining when the
restoration will be accomplished. This schedule should include a one-year monitoring plan to
ensure that the riparian buffers are restored.
