On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Area
Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B.0233)
Dear Mr. Tyson:
On April 21 st 2011, at your request I conducted an on-site determination to review Canal
East located on the subject property for applicability to the Neuse Buffer Rules (15A
NCAC 2B .0233). The feature is labeled as "11-0349" on the attached map initialed by
me on April 21St 2011.
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the surface water
labeled as Ill 1-034911 on the attached map is exempt and is not subject to the Neuse
Buffer Rule 15A NCAC 2B .0233. This feature and it's associated buffers should be
identified on any future plans for this property. The owner (or future owners) should
notify the DWQ (and other relevant agencies) of this decision in any future
correspondences concerning this property. This on-site determination shall expire five
(5) years from the date of this letter.
Landowners or affected parties that dispute a determination made by the DWQ or
Delegated Local Authority that a surface water exists and that it is subject to the buffer
rule may request a determination by the Director.
A request for a determination by the Director shall be referred to the Director in writing

Blvd., Suite 250, Raleigh, NC 27604-2260. Individuals that dispute a determination by
the DWQ or Delegated Local Authority that "exempts" a surface water from the buffer
rule may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that
you receive this letter. Applicants are hereby notified that the 60-day statutory appeal
time does not start until the affected party (including downstream and adjacent
landowners) is notified of this decision. DWQ recommends that the applicant conduct
this notification in order to be certain that third party appeals are made in a timely
manner. 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, 6714
Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This determination is final and binding
unless you ask for a hearing within 60 days.
This letter only addresses the applicability to the buffer rules and does not approve any
activity within the buffers. Nor does this letter approve any activity within Waters of the
United States or Waters of the State. If you have any additional questions or require
additional information please call Chris Pullinger at [phone].
