On -Site Determination for Applicability to the Tar - Pamlico River Riparian Area Protection Rules
(15A NCAC 2B.0259)
Dear Mr. Tyson:
On April 4, 2012, at your request Anthony Scarbraugh conducted an on -site determination to
review unnamed tributary (UT) to Durham Creek located on the subject property for applicability
to the Tar - Pamlico Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0259). The feature is labeled as "12- 0320" on the
attached map initialed by Mr. Scarbraugh on April 10, 2012. The project is located approximately
0.55 miles southwest of the intersection of SR 1932 (Mary's Chapel Church Road) and SR 1950
(Tuten Road) in Beaufort County, NC.
At your request, Anthony Scarbraugh conducted an on -site determination as stated above.
During his review, he evaluated the feature using the DWQ Stream Classification Form. He
evaluated the stream reach 12 -0320 at N 35.31178, W 77.88689 and calculated the score to be
19.25 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- 0320" on the
attached map, and highlighted in blue is subject to the Tar - Pamlico Buffer Rules. The portion of
the feature 12 -0320 that is circled and highlighted in red is not 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
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 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 Anthony Scarbraugh in the Washington Regional Office at (252) 948 -3924.
Sincerely,
L_
