Dear Mr. Crowley:
On March 7, 2000 I met with you at the subject property. At your request, an evaluation of the stream
feature was performed to determine if the site would require compliance with the Neuse Buffer Rule. As
a result, it was determined that the feature present on this tract of land is a stream and therefore subject to
protection under The Neuse River Basin: Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy; Protection and
Maintenance of Existing Riparian Areas, Administrative Code T15A:02B.0233 (NCAC 0233).
This project is referenced by the Raleigh Regional Office as NBRRO 00 -129. The subject feature and the
zone of protection has been delineated on the map received by this Office April 27, 2000 and the area
applicable to protection under the Neuse Buffer Rules begins off of the subject property and continues
through it.
Please be reminded that the riparian buffer is protected in two zones totaling fifty feet of protection. In
accordance with the Rule, sheet flow from stormwater must be maintained, to the maximum extent practical,
through dispersing concentrated flow and/or re- establishment of vegetation to maintain the efficacy of the
riparian area., Also, the preliminary plat attachment shows the comer of the new storage building within the
riparian zone. This is a prohibited activity as new impervious substance is not allowed within the protected
zone.
This letter addresses only those issues involving the riparian area. For information relative to the Wetlands
401/404 issues, please contact Mr. John Domey at 919- 733 -1786. Thank you for your attention to this matter
and if this Office can be of any assistance or if you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to
contact us.

Dear Mr. Mitchell:
On March 7, 2000 we met on the Wyatt- Quarles Seed Company site. in Cramer to discuss possible
improvements to the property as they relate to the existing stream that runs along the rear fence line. As
you may recall, 'the two proposed projects include a new storage building that will allow Wyatt- Quarles to
put all of the product currently stored in the open under an enclosed structure, and a proposed roadway
tying into a stub street along the eastern property line that would allow access to the rear of the site.
Enclosed please find a survey of the area with the two proposed projects located These locations may not
be the final locations of the proposed improvements, as site topography or other site constraints may
require minor adjustments. Any adjustments would, of course, be submitted to you for your review prior
to submittal to the Town of Garner for their site plans review process.
At this time, we would like to discuss these proposed locations with respect to the location of the riparian
buffer. As you can see, the storage building has a very minor encroachment into the buffer. The roadway
has a greater encroachment, but closely follows the existing sanitary sewer easement.
I can be reached for comment regarding this plan at the above address or telephone number. I appreciate
your assistance with this item and took forward to working with you

Dear Mr. Crowley:;,,,
On October 21, 2000, the NC Division of Water Quality received your application for a Neuse Buffer
Rule approval for the Wyatt Quarles Seed Company site on US 70 West in Wake County. Please provide the
following information so. that we can complete our review of your proposal:
1. A vicinity map clearly illustrating the location of this property with respect to surrounding
municipalities and named streams. The site map provided only shows local roads, and does not
clearly depict the project location within Wake County.
2. A local map illustrating and quantifying the proposed impacts with respect to surface waters,
wetlands and vegetated buffers. It may be easiest for you to use a small -scale copy of a USGS topo
map or Wake County Soil Survey with your property boundaries and proposed work area clearly
indicated. The site map provided does not indicate where the proposed impacts are located, and your
property is not clearly identified.
3. Please describe all types of structures and impervious surfaces proposed within the Neuse Buffer.
Also describe all measures taken to avoid and minimize those impacts.
4. Please describe how stormwater will be directed into the buffer.
You may wish to contact Mr. Bob Zarzecki in the DWQ Central Office at (919) 733 -1786, or Mr. Steve
Mitchell of the DWQ Raleigh Regional Office at (919) 571 -4700 to discuss the Neuse Buffer Rules with
respect to this project. This project will be placed on hold for our processing due to incomplete information.
I can be reached at (919) 733 -1786.
