On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Area Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B
.0230-Appeal
Dear Mr. Ball:
On July 2, 2010, at your request I conducted an on-site determination to review one stream feature located
on the subject property for applicability to the Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233). The stream
feature is labeled as "A" on the attached map initialed by Amy Chapman on July 6, 2010. Orange County
staff (Wesley Poole) had previously conducted an on-site determination of the stream feature. In your
letter to the Director dated June 3, 2010, you requested an appeal of their determination as provided
within 15A NCAC 02B .0233(3)(a).
At your request, I conducted an appeal of the determination as stated above. The Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) has determined that the following:
• Feature "A" is subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule on the property at the flag labeled "A starts".
The feature transitions from an ephemeral stream to an intermittent stream at that point.
This determination shall replace the determination originally performed by Orange County.
You can contest the Director's decision as provided in Articles 3 and 4 of G.S. 150B. To contest the
Director's decision you must file a petition for an administrative hearing. You may obtain the petition
form from the office of Administrative hearings. You must file the petition with the office of
Administrative Hearings within sixty (60) days of receipt of this notice. A petition is considered filed
when it is received in the office of Administrative Hearings during normal office hours. The Office of
Administrative Hearings accepts filings Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00am and
5:00pm, except for official state holidays. The original and one (1) copy of the petition must be filed with
the Office of Administrative Hearings.
The petition may be faxed-provided the original and one copy of the document is received by the Office
of Administrative Hearings within five (5) business days following the faxed transmission.
