On -Site Determination for Applicability to the Tar - Pamlico River Riparian Area Protection Rules
(15A NCAC 2B.0233)
Dear Ms. Smith:
On March 22, 2012, Anthony Scarbraugh conducted an on -site determination to review a feature
known as Mill Branch located on the subject property for applicability to the Tar - Pamlico Buffer
Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0259). The feature is labeled as "12- 0352" on the attached maps initialed
by Mr. Scarbraugh on April 10, 2012. The project is located at 2508 Jay Circle in Greenville, Pitt
County, NC.
Mr. Scarbraugh conducted an on -site determination as stated above. During his review, he
evaluated the stream using the DWQ Stream Classification Form. He evaluated the stream reach
12 -0352 at N 35.57773, W 77.28813 and calculated the score to be 36.75 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 feature labeled as "12- 0352" on the
attached map, and highlighted in blue is subject to the Tar - Pamlico Buffer Rules. The 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.
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

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 1506 of the North Carolina General Statutes to the
