On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Area Protection Rules
(15A NCAC 2B .0233)
To Whom It May Concern:
On March 4, 2004, at your request I conducted an on-site determination to review surface water features located on the
subject property for applicability to the Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233). The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
has determined that the attached map initialed by me on May 21,`2004 accurately depicts the extent of surface
waters subject to the Neuse River Buffer Rule located on the subject property. These streams and their associated
buffers 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 hearing, send a written petition, which conforms to Chapter 1506 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.
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 additional
questions or require additional information please call me at [phone].
Sincerely,
Bob Zarzecki,
