Subject Property: Stream Determination at 1389 Hood Swamp Road, Cokers Crossroads
Drainage Feature to Peters Branch, West Bear Creek, Neuse River Basin
On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Area Protection Rules (15A NCAC
2B .0233)
Dear Mr. Torres:
On June 14, 2011, at your request, I conducted an on-site determination to review a drainage feature located on the subject
property for applicability to the Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233). The feature is labeled as "11-0360" on the
attached maps and initialed by me on June 14, 2011.
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the feature labeled as "11-0360" on the attached maps,
and highlighted in red is not subject to the Neuse Buffer Rules. The feature is marked on the ground with yellow
DWQ flagging and starts at the head of the drainage feature (N 35° 24.446' W 77° 50.570') and follows the drainage
feature down gradient, northwest, to a point next to a driveway culvert pipe (N 35° 24.489' W 77° 50.652') and marked
on the ground with yellow DWQ flagging. 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 c/o John Domey, DWQ Wetlands/401 Unit, 2321
Crabtree Blvd., 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
