CERTIFIED MAIL: RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
Mr. Matt Bolesky
60 Sun Forest Way
Chapel Hill, NC 27517
Subject Property: 60 Sun Valley Way
Chapel Hill, NC
On-Site Intermittent/Perennial Stream Determination
Dear Mr. Bolesky:
On November 28, 2006, at your request, Ian McMillan of DWQ conducted an appeal of the
Raleigh Regional Office's previous on-site determination to review a stream feature located on
the subject property for intermittent/perennial determination. The stream feature is labeled as
"A" on the attached map initialed by Eric Kulz on September 12, 2006 and Ian McMillan on
November 28, 2006.
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the stream feature labeled as
"A" on the attached map is perennial. 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.
Individuals that dispute a determination by the DWQ or Delegated Local Authority that
"exempts" surface water from the buffer rule may initiate an administrative hearing from the
Office of Administrative Hearings. You must act within 60 days of the date of receipt of 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
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

RE: Buffer Determination Appeal for Stream Feature A,
60 Sun Forest Way; Orange County, North Carolina
October 26, 2006
S&EC Proj ect # 10105.W 1

?r
On behalf of the property owner, Matt Bolesky, we request an appeal of the intermittent/perennial stream
determination performed by Erik Kulz for the above referenced site. Mr. Kulz met S&EC on site and
determined feature A to be perennial (see attached letter). However, we believe this feature lacks the
necessary indicators of a perennial stream channel. Therefore, we request re-evaluation of Mr. Kulz'
analysis. Please accept this letter as an official request. Your help in clarifying the status of the
classification of this stream is greatly appreciated.
Please contact me at your earliest convenience to coordinate a site meeting for re-evaluating the feature in
question. I can be reached at our office: [phone] or by mobile: [phone].
Sincerely,
-?
