UT to Core Creek, Neuse River Basin
On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Area Protection Rules(15A NCAC
2B.0233)
Dear Mr. Tyson:
On February 20, 2009, at your request,I conducted an on-site determination to review a unnamed tributary to
Core Creek located on the subject property for applicability to the Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233).
The feature is labeled as"2009-0181"on the attached map initialed by me on February 27, 2009.
At your request, I conducted an on-site determination on the stream stated above. During my review I evaluated
the stream using the DWQ Stream Classification Form I evaluated the unnamed tributary to Core Creek
downstream to its confluence with a larger 2 order unnamed tributary to Core Creek. The feature scored less
than 19 points from its headwaters to the previously stated confluence. The form states that if the score is
"greater than or equal to 19 points the stream is at least intermittent".
The Division of Water Quality(DWQ)has determined that the surface water labeled as"2009-0181" on
the attached map is ephemeral and h ex emtit to the Neuse Buffer Rules. This feature should be identified
on any future plans for this property. The owner(or future owners) should notify the DW agencies)of this decision in any future correspondences concerningthis Q and other relevant
shall expire five(5)years from the date of this letter. ° Y This on-site determination
