Tar- Pamlico River Basin, Cherry Run (TAR 06, 28- 103 -17; NSW, C, Sw)
On -Site Determination for Applicability to the Tar - Pamlico River Riparian Area Protection Rules (15A
NCAC 2B.0259)
Dear Mr. Williams:
On May 22, 2012 at your request, I conducted an on -site determination to review the drainage feature located on the
subject property for applicability to the Tar - Pamlico Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0259). The feature is labeled as `12-
0477 A to 12 -0477 B" on the attached maps and initialed by me on May 22, 2012.
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the feature labeled as "12 -0477 A to 12 -0477 B" on the
attached maps, and highlighted in red, is not subject to the Tar Pamlico Buffer Rules. The stream determination
begins at point 12 -0477 A (N 35° 34.226' W 77° 04.730'), marked on the ground with yellow flagging, and continues
upstream to point 12 -0477 B (N 35° 34.131' W 77° 04.719') and marked on nearby utility pole with yellow DWQ
flagging. The stream determination area and flagged points are shown on the attached maps.
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
