On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse Riparian Area Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B
.0233) -EXPRESS REVIEW PROGRAM
Dear Mr. Blakely:
On July 23, 2007, at the request of Mr. Jamie Guerrero, Lia Myott conducted an on-site determination to review
one stream feature located on the subject property for applicability to the Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B
.0233). The feature is labeled as "A" on the attached maps initialed by Lia Myott on July 23, 2007. The Division
of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the following:
• Feature "A" is subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule at the flag labeled "A1" (at a location that approximates
the old pond outflow). Stream A is a perennial stream (man-made naturalized stream) on the entirety of
the property. Since the stream is not shown on either the most recent topographic map or the county soil
survey it is not buffered upstream of flag "A 1 ".
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 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 Cyndi Karoly, DWQ 401 OversightBxpress Review
Permitting Unit, 2321 Crabtree Blvd., Raleigh, NC 27604-2260. 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. 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 questions, please contact Lia Myott at 919.733.9502.
Sincerely,
Coleen H. Sullins, Director
