DWQ Project # 2008-0403
Wayne County
Subject Property: Carriage Park
UT to Exum Mill Branch, Neuse River Basin
On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Area
Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B.0233)
Dear Sirs:
At your request I conducted an on-site determination to review a drainage featuer located
on the subject property for applicability to the Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B
.0233). The project area is labeled as "2008-0403" on the attached map initialed by me
on February 14, 2011. The project is located on the east side of Antioch Road (SR 1535),
approximately 0.7 mile north of the intersection of Antioch Road and Wayne Memorial
Drive (SR 1556), near Saulston, NC
At your request, I conducted an on-site determination as stated above. During my review
I evaluated the stream using the DWQ Stream Classification process. I evaluated the
stream reach in question, and determined that the feature in question was a man-made
ditch, therefore use of the rating sheet was not necessary. 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 portion of surface
water highlighted in pink and labeled as "2008-0403" on the attached map is man-
made and is NOT SUBJECT to the Neuse Buffer Rule. This feature and its associated
buffers should be identified on any future plans for this 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 of this letter.

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 Cyndi Karoly, DWQ, 401
Oversight/Express Review Permitting Unit, 2321 Crabtree Blvd., Suite 250, 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
recommends that the applicant conduct this notification in order to be certain that third
party appeals are made in a timely manner. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition,
which conforms to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of
Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-6714. This
determination is final and binding unless you ask for a hearing within 60 days.
This letter only addresses the applicability to the buffer rules and does not approve any
activity within the buffers. Nor does this letter approve any activity within Waters of the
United States or Waters of the State. If you have any additional questions or require
additional information please call me at [phone].
Sincerely,
