Dear Mr. and Mrs. Golwala:
On October 19,2009,the Division of Water Quality(DWQ)received your minor variance application
dated October 16, 2009,to fill or otherwise impact 256 square feet of Zone 2 protected riparian buffers to
construct the sunroom at the subject property.
By guidance from the Attorney General's Office on the interpretation of the Neuse Buffer Rule,you must
meet the hardships outlined in 15A NCAC 02B .0233(9)(a) in order to qualify for a variance from the
Neuse Buffer Rules. You have not met the hardship described in 15A NCAC 02B .0233(9)(a)(i)(E), in
that you purchased the property after the effective date of the rule. Therefore this office can not process
your application.
Individuals that dispute a permitting determination from a riparian buffer rule by the DWQ may ask for
an adjudicatory hearing. You must act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. 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.
Please be aware that you have no authorization under the Neuse Buffer Rules for this activity and any
work done within the protected riparian buffers that requires a variance or buffer authorization would be a
violation of North Carolina General Statutes and Administrative Code. Please call Ms. Cyndi Karoly or
