APPEAL of On-Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Area
Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233)
Dear Sir or Madam:
On May 25, 2007, Amy Chapman conducted an appeal of an on-site determination previously
conducted to review a feature located on the subject property for applicability to the Neuse
Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233). The feature is labeled as "A" on the attached map initialed
by Amy Chapman on May 31, 2007.
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the surface water labeled as
"A" on the attached map is ephemeral and is NOT subject to the Neuse Buffer Rule. 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.
