On-Site Determination of Surface Waters of the State of North Carolina
Dear Mr. Scanlin:
This letter is a follow-up to a previous stream determination conducted on-site by Mr. Chris
Pullinger of this Office. This letter also serves as a review for confirmation and documentation of
the previous call. On October 12, 2011, 1 conducted an on-site determination to review the
drainage feature located on the subject property. The feature is labeled as "10-0909" on the
attached map and initialed by me on September 22, 2011 and serves as a written record for your
files. The project site is located approximately 0.90 miles west of the intersection of NC Highway
168 and Moyock Landing Drive in Moyock, Currituck County.
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the feature labeled as "10-0909" on the
attached map, and highlighted in blue has been determined to be a natural stream. This feature
and any other wetlands and surface waters should be identified on any future plans for this
property. It is recommended that the Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) be contacted to review
the project area to determine jurisdictional wetlands and surface waters.
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 subject to the buffer rules (if applicable) 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 Karen
Higgins, 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
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 existence of a stream and does not approve
any activity. 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 Anthony Scarbraugh in the Washington Regional Office at [phone].
