On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Tar-Pamlico River Riparian Area
Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0259)-EXPRESS REVIEW PROGRAM
Dear Mr. Richardson:
On November 26, 2007, at your request Iconducted an on-site determination to review drainage
features located on the subject property for applicability to the Taz-Pamlico Buffer Rules (15A
NCAC 2B .0259). The feature is labeled as "07-1973a and 07-1973b" on the attached maps
initialed by me on November 26, 2007.
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the feature labeled as "07-
1973a through 07-1973b" on the attached maps is not subject to the Tar-Pamlico Buffer
Rule. This drainage 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 c/o John Dorney, 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 heazing, 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.
