On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Area Protection Rules (15A NCAC
2B .0233)-EXPRESS REVIEW PROGRAM
Dear Mr. Williams:
On December 15, 2009, at your request, I conducted an on-site determination to review a drainage feature located on the
subject property for applicability to the Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233). The feature is labeled as "09-1306A
to 09-1306B" on the attached maps initialed by me on December 17, 2009.
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the feature labeled as 6609-1306A to 09-1306B" on the
attached maps, and highlighted in red is not subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule. The subject features starts at the back
property corner (N 35° 18.780', W 77° 37.521') and follows the property line north, northwest to the second back property
corner (N 35° 18.687', W 77° 37.517') and continues north, northwest to the fencing along DOT right-of-way for State
Road 1580 (Benjamin Franklin Rd.). 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. Please note that although the subject feature is not considered a stream it may be
considered to be linear wetlands. It is therefore recommended that the Army Corp of Engineers (ACE) be contacted to
review the subject features.
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 John Domey, DWQ Wetlands/401 Unit, 2321
Crabtree Blvd., 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
