APPROVAL of Neuse River Buffer Rules
Dear Mr. Gilmore:
You have our approval to impact 0.015 acre of Zone 2 Neuse Buffers in order to replace Bridge No. 66 on US 70 over
Southwest Creek in Lenoir County, as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality on April 12,
2001. 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, 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 you may be required to send us a new application for a new approval. If the property is sold,
the new owner must be given a copy of the 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). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions of the Neuse River
Buffer Rules.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this approval, 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 conforming to Chapter
1506 of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh, N.C. 27611-
7447. This approval and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a 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 919-733-9646.
Sincerely,
rr T. Steven
