Dear Mr. Preuninger:
Alan W. Klimek, P.E. Director
Division of Water Quality
DWQ Project # 2006-0341
County: Wake
On March 3, 2006, at your request I conducted an on-site determination to review a stream
feature located on the subject property for applicability to the Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC
213 .0233). The on-site feature is labeled as "A" and the directly off-site feature is labeled as "B"
on the attached maps initialed by me on March 6, 2006.
At your request, I conducted an on-site determination as stated above. During my review I
evaluated the stream using the DWQ Stream Classification Form. I evaluated the stream reach
for the on-site portion and calculated the score to be 12.5 points. I then evaluated the stream
reach immediately off-site and calculated that score to be 16.5 points 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 "A
and B" on the attached maps is not subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule. 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 Cyndi Karoly, DWQ 401 Oversight/Express Permitting Unit, 2321
Crabtree Blvd., Suite 250, 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 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative
401 Oversight/Express Review Permitting Unit
