On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Area
Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233)
Dear Mr. -Tyson:
On October 14, 2010, at your request I conducted an on-site determination to review UT
to Core Creek, located on the subject property for applicability to the Neuse Buffer Rules
{ 15A NCAC 2B .0233). -The feature is labeled as "1040-560034" on the attached map
initialed by me on October 15, 2010.
At your request, i conducted an on-site determination as stated above. During my review
I evaluated the stream using the DWQ Stream Classification Form. I evaluated the
stream reach from GPS N35.16184, W77.51633, and calculated the score to be 24 points.
'The form states that if the score is "greater than or equal to 19 points the stream is at least
intermittent".
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the surface water
labeled as "°1040-560034" on the attached map is subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule
15A NCAC 2B .0233. This feature and it's associated buffers should be identified on
any future plans for tills property. 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 ofthis
letter.
