Neuse River Basin
Riparian Buffer Rules
Wm. G. Daniels/Falls River Project
NBR-RRO 168
Wake County
On October 13,1998, I met with you at the subject property to conduct a site visit for the above referenced
project. This project is referenced by the Raleigh Regional Office as NBR RRO-168. At your request, an
evaluation was performed to determine if the features present would require compliance with the Neuse
River Basin: Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy; Protection and Maintenance of Existing
Riparian Areas, Administrative Code T15A:02B.0233 (NCAC 0233).
It was determined that there are several unnamed tributaries on the subject property that are subject to
protection under the Neuse Basin Rules. In addition there are a few features along the river that are
ephemeral (stormwater derived) and therefore not subject to the Neuse Buffer Rules. The buffer has been
delineated on the map indicating the protected area along those features. The features that have been
delineated as subject to the buffer protection are outlined in red and highlighted in yellow. Those features
not subject to the Rule, are highlighted in blue. Please be reminded that the Neuse River itself has a 50 foot
horizontal buffer extending landward of Mean High Water.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and if this Office can be of any assistance or if you have
additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 571-4700.

Sensitive Waters (NRB.NSW) riparian buffers.
Included is the final map generated by Soil & Environmental Consultants, Inc.
indicating the extent of regulation by NRB.NSW riparian buffers for the Falls
River project. Our client intends to utilize this information in developing a site
plan for the project. Please provide written concurrence with this map.
Please call Kevin Martin. if you have any questions, comments or require further
explanation. Thank you for your cooperation so far.
Sincerely,

Mean High Water. The Buffer is not shown on the map for clarity of features
that originate in the uplands and continue into the river.

Q There are areas subject to the buffer rules on the above described property which
we strongly suggest should be surveyed- The surveyed areas must be verified by
our staff before the DWQ will make a final determination of your property.
? Because of the size of your property and our present workload, our identification
and delineation of areas subject to the Neuse Basin Buffer Rules cannot be
accomplished in a timely manner- You may wish to employ a consultant to obtain
a more timely delineation of these areas. Once your consultant has flagged the
areas on the property, DWQ staff will review it, and, if it is accurate, we strongly
recommend that you have the areas surveyed for final approval by the DWQ. The
DWQ will not make a final determination on your property without an approved
survey.
? • The areas subject to the Neuse Basin Riparian Buffer rules on this tract have been
delineated, and the limits of DWQ regulation have been explained to you. Unless
there is a change in the law or our published regulations, this determination may be
