On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Area Protection Rules
(15A NCAC 2B.0233): Verification of Top of Bank.
Dear Mr. Mitchell:
On September 12 2007, at your request Eric Kulz of the DWQ 401 Oversight and Express
Permitting unit visited the above-referenced property for the purpose of verifying the top of
bank, to determine the extent of the Neuse River riparian buffers on the site.
During the site visit, Mr. Kulz observed the top of bank accurately marked with pin flags. The
top of bank and associated buffers are accurately shown on the Existing Conditions and Neuse
River Delineation Survey for the Valley Stream Apartments, Sheet 1 of 7 (Revision dated
9/17/07), prepared by Aiken and Yelle Associates, PA. A copy of this survey map was signed by
Eric Kulz on September 21, 2007.
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 Cyndi Karoly, DWQ 401 Oversight/Express Permitting Unit, 2321 Crabtree 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.
