On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse Riparian Area Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B
.0233) -EXPRESS REVIEW PROGRAM
Dear Mr. Wong:
On January 4, 2008, at the request of Mr. Kevin Yates of The John R. McAdams Company, Lia Myott conducted
an on-site determination to review two stream features located on the subject properly for applicability to the
Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233). The features are labeled as "A" and "B", on the attached maps
initialed by Lia Myott on January 7, 2008. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the
following:
Feature "A" is subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule on the property at the flag labeled, "Al" (DWQ
intermittent stream begins) and transitions to a perennial stream at the flag labeled, "A2".
Feature "B" is not subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule on the subject 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 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 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.
