APPROVAL of Neuse River Buffer Rules
Town of Zebulon
100 N. Arendell Ave.
Zebulon, NC 27597
Dear Town of Zebulon:
You have our approval to construct sanitary sewer improvements within Neuse River buffer areas along
unnamed tributaries to Wheelers Creek in Wake County as you described in your application received by the
Division of Water Quality on December 15, 1999. This approval is valid for the Neuse River Buffer Rules
(15A NCAC 2B .0233). In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go
ahead with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Coastal Stormwater,
Non-Discharge and Water Supply Watershed regulations.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you
change your project, you must notify us and send us a new application. If the property is sold, the new owner
must be given a copy of this approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If
Total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be
required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h).
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this correspondence, you may ask for an adjudicatory
hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a
written petition, which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of
Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-7447. This certification and its conditions are
final and binding unless you ask fora hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under the Neuse Buffer Rules. If you
have any questions, please telephone John Dorney at 919-733-1786.

Enclosed for your review and approval is a Pre-Construction Notification Application for
approval to construct sanitary sewer improvements within Neuse River Buffer areas. The project
will serve the Town of Zebulon in Wake County. The sanitary sewer interceptor runs parallel
with the bank of Wheeles Creek and the edge of the proposed cleared area is located a minimum
distance of 50'off of the bank. Their are several buffer encroachments, which are shown on the
attached 8'/2" x 11" sheets. Also, enclosed is a brief narrative of each buffer encroachment.
If upon review of the above you should have any questions or need any additional
information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Respectfully,

NEUSE RIVER BUFFER NARRATIVE
TOWN OF ZEBULON - WESTSIDE SEWER, PHASE II
Buffer Crossing # 1
SR 2369 - Worth Hinton Road Sta. 0 + 70 - Construction Plan # 1 f
This buffer crossing consists of a 90° crossing of an unnamed tributary to Wheeles Creek
with a 15" dia. gravity sewer line buried beneath the stream bed. This buffer encroachment is
located entirely within the existing right-of-way of SR 2369. (See the attached 8 '/2" x 11" detail
sheet)
Buffer Crossing # 2
SR 2369 Worth Hinton Road Sta. 3 + 27 - Construction Plan # 1 J
This buffer crossing consists of a 90° crossing of a unnamed tributary to Wheeles Creek
with a 15" dia. gravity sewer line buried beneath the stream culvert. This buffer encroachment is
located entirely within the existing right-of-way of SR 2369. (See the attached 8 t/2" x 11" detail
sheet)
Buffer Crossing # 3
Easement Off SR 2369 Sta. 7 + 40 - Construction Plan # 1 V
This buffer crossing consists of a 90° crossing of an unnamed tributary to Wheeles Creek
with a 15" dia. gravity sewer buried beneath the stream bed. The clearing limits have been
reduced to 40' through the riparian buffer. (See Attached 8 '/2" x 11" detail sheet)
Adjacent to Wheeles Creek - Construction Plan Sheet #'s 1 - 6 J
On construction plan sheet #'s 1 - 6, from Sta. 3 + 00, to Sta. 64 + 50, the proposed 15"
dia. interceptor sewer runs adjacent to Wheeles Creek and unnamed tributaries to Wheeles
Creek. We have located the sewer along the ridge where possible and at the very least
maintained the minimum distance of 50 feet off the creek bank. However, there is an area of
wetlands that will be disturbed as a result of this project. Attached are exerts from the
construction plan sheet showing this location.
