Subject: NCDOT TIP # R-2915, US 221 Improvement Study, Ashe and Watauga Counties, NC
On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Mitigation Rules (15A NCA.C 2H.0506(h)
Dear Ms. Tyner:
On June 12, 2007, at your request and in your attendance, and with Monte Matthews of the US Army Corps of Engineers
in attendance also, Sue Homewood, Division of Water Quality (DWQ) staff, conducted an on-site determination to
review a selection of drainage features located in and adjacent to the identified study corridor for the US221
Improvement Project TIP # R-2915 for applicability to the mitigation rules (15A NCAC 2H.0506(h)). The drainage
features are approximated on the attached map.
Given the size of the project, a selection of sites were identified and visited to represent stream determinations conducted
by Environmental Services, Inc. Stream sites reviewed were STE, STM/SVS, SPH, SGE,.SPN, SPO, SPQ, SPP, SPR.
SPQ, SGA2, SGL, STAF, SPZZ, SGY, SPZ, SPPP, SGB2, SGGQ and SZN.
Since that site visit, Environmental Services Inc. has submitted an updated Stream Delineation Table dated July 3, 2007.
Based on these site reviews of determinations and the updated table submitted, the Division concurs with the stream
delineations as outlined in the referenced and attached Table.
This letter only addresses the applicability to the mitigation rules and does not approve any activity within the buffer,
Waters of the United States, or Waters of the State. Any impacts to wetlands, streams and buffers must comply with the,
404/401 regulations, water supply regulations (15A NCAC 213 .0216), applicable buffer rules, and any other required
federal, state and local regulations. Please be aware that even if no direct impacts are proposed to any protected buffers,
sheet flow of all new stormwater runoff as per 15A NCAC 2B .0250 is required.
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 mitigation rules 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 Hennessy, DWQ 401
Transportation Permitting Unit, 1650 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1650. Individuals that dispute a
determination by the DWQ or Delegated Local Authority that "exempts" a surface water from the mitigation rules 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 recommends that the applicant conduct this notification in order
