conducted an on-site determination to review two stream features located on the subject property for applicability
to the Tar-Pamlico Buffer Rules(15A NCAC 213 .0259). The features are labeled as"A"and`B"on the attached
maps initialed by Lia M. Gilleski on October 16, 2008. The Division of Water Quality(DWQ)has determined
that the following:
• Feature "A" is subject to the Tar-Pamlico Buffer Rule at the flag labeled, "A 1 —Intermittent stream
begins". Flag AI is located approximately 62 feet downstream from the base of the pond dam on the
property; therefore,the is not subject to the Tar-Pamlico Buffer Rule.
0 Feature `B" is not subject to the Tar-Pamlico Buffer Rule on the property, or within 50 feet of the
property boundary. The feature is an ephemeral stream feature.
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.,

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
