Project No. 02-1725
Subject Property: On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse Riparian Area Protection Rules
(15A NCAC 2B .0233)
Ethel vs NC Department of Transportation tract east of US 1 (Capitol Blvd) near 1-540
Wake County
Dear Mr. Cusack and Mr. Martin,
On September 12, 2002 a d Dto 002, DWQ staff (John Dorney and Steve Mitchell, respectively) met
on-site to conduct on-site determin review drainage features on the subject property for applicability to
the Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233). As a result of these on-site determinations, the DWQ has
determined that the denoted drainage features on the attached map (titled "DOT vs Ethel" prepared by the
Rose Group dated October 7, 2002 are subject to the Neuse Buffer Rules (North Carolina Administrative Code
T15A:02B.0233). Also, other channels shown on the USGS 1:24,000 topographic map or Wake County Soil
Survey within this study area are not subject to these rules.
This letter only addresses the applicability to the buffer rules and does not approve any activity within
the buffers. If you believe that this decision is incorrect, you must submit a written appeal to the Director of the
Division of Water Quality within 60 days of the date of this letter. This determination is only applicable to the
buffer rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233) and is not intended to delineate Waters of the State or Waters of the United
States subject to other State or Federal protection. If you have any additional questions or require additional
information you can reach me at 919-733-9646.
Sincerely,
John R. Dorney

RE: Ethel versus N.C. Department of Transportation Buffer Evaluation
Wake County, North Carolina [NCDOT T.I.P. R-2000EB]
Dear John,
OCT I C ),W
00-016-,

Per your request, I am providing you with additional mapping for the above-referenced
project. Small-scale mapping of the site, both pre- and post-construction, is included
along with a site location map (Figure 1) and a map depicting NRCS streams within the
site (Figure 2).
Please use this information to supplement my previous letter (dated September 27,
2002). You have field notes and completed Stream Evaluation Forms for each of these
features, and I wanted to provide you with mapping that you can reference with any
correspondence that you write regarding our visit. Please note that Figure 2 is a large
scale because I traced the Wake County Soil Survey onto the map. You should be able
to use Figure 2 to find the corresponding drains on the other mapping for features not
subject to the buffer rules.
I would like to request that you provide, at your convenience, a brief letter of
concurrence with the findings of our buffer evaluations. I would also like a photocopy of
your field notes and the completed Stream Evaluation Forms for each feature. Please
note that two features not evaluated in the field (Features SL, and SQ) are denoted as
having buffer protection due to a >12-acre watershed calculation performed by
EcoScience Corporation (ESC) as interpreted from research by Danny Smith correlating
watershed size and the formation of intermittent streams.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Yours truly,
ECOSCIENCE CORPORATION

RE: Ethel versus N.C. Department of Transportation Buffer Evaluation 00-016
Wake County, North Caroiina [NCDOT T.I.P. R-2000'x_ sj
Dear John,
Thank you for meeting with me to evaluate the subjectivity of 18 drainage features to the
Neuse River Riparian Area Rules for the above referenced project. Your ability to
schedule a prompt site visit is greatly appreciated, given your busy schedule.
The purpose of this letter is to provide you with a map indicating the approximate
location of the 18 features that you and I evaluated on September 12, 2002. You have
field notes and completed Stream Evaluation Forms for each of these features, and I
wanted to provide you with a map that you can reference with any correspondence that
you write regarding our visit.
At your convenience, I would like to request that you provide a brief letter of concurrence
with the findings of our buffer evaluations. I would also like a photocopy of your field
notes and the completed Stream Evaluation Forms for each feature. Please note that
the features that were not evaluated in the field (Features SL, SM, and SQ) due to
existing construction of 1-540 (R-2000EB) are denoted as having buffer protection until
EcoScience Corporation (ESC) has the chance to review scientific literature (research by
Danny Smith) correlating watershed size and the formation of intermittent streams.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Yours truly,
