Buffer Compliance Alternatives Are there any surface waters within 50 feet of your project’s earth disturbances? |X| YES |_| NO

Check the compliance alternative that you have chosen:

|_| I will provide and maintain a 50-foot undisturbed natural buffer.

|_| I will provide and maintain an undisturbed natural buffer that is less than 50 feet and is supplemented by additional erosion and sediment controls, which in combination achieves the sediment load reduction equivalent to a 50-foot undisturbed natural buffer.

|_| It is infeasible to provide and maintain an undisturbed natural buffer of any size, therefore I will implement erosion and sediment controls that achieve the sediment load reduction equivalent to a 50-foot undisturbed natural buffer.

|X| I qualify for one of the exceptions in Part 2.1.2.1.e. (If you have checked this box, provide information on the applicable buffer exception that applies, below.)

Buffer Exceptions Which of the following exceptions to the buffer requirements applies to your site?

|_| There is no discharge of stormwater to the surface water that is located 50 feet from my construction disturbances.

|_| No natural buffer exists due to preexisting development disturbances that occurred prior to the initiation of planning for this project.

|_| For a “linear project” (defined in Appendix A), site constraints (e.g., limited right-of-way) make it infeasible for me to meet any of the CGP Part 2.1.2.1.a compliance alternatives.

|_| The project qualifies as “small residential lot” construction (defined in Part 2.1.2.1.e.iv and in Appendix A).

|X| Buffer disturbances are authorized under a CWA Section 404 permit.

Authorized Activities:
