On -Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Area
Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B.0233)
Dear Ms. Guilianelli:
At the request of Mr. Jason C Hales, Project Manager, of Geo- Marine, Inc. this Office
conducted an on -site determination to review drainage features located within Area A for
applicability to the Neuse River Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 213.0233). The features are
labeled on the attached maps, highlighted in red and blue, and initialed by me on January
31, 2013.
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the surface waters
abeled as Do -1L3 through Tvi Y -uz,- (see Lnciosed Stream Origin Determination
List) on the attached maps and highlighted in red are not subject to the Neuse Buffer
Rule. The streams highlighted in blue are subject to the Neuse Buffer Rules. Initial
stream origin points were set by staff of Geo- Marine and conformation of these stream
origin points, for applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rules, was performed
by DWQ staff.
Please be advised that although the subject features highlighted in red are not subject to
the Neuse Buffer Rules these features may be considered waters of the U.S. and waters of
the State that may require Nationwide Permits from the US Army Corp of Engineers and

General Certifications from the State of North Carolina. It is recommended that Mr.
William Wescott with the US Army Corp of Engineers, Washington Field Office, be
contacted (910- 251 -4629) and Roberto Scheller with the Division of Water Quality,
Washington Regional Office (252- 948 -3940) if any construction within these areas is
proposed.
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 Roberto Scheller in the Washington Regional Office at
252- 948 -3940.
The Surface Water Protection Section in the Washington Regional Office would like to

Re: Stream Origin Determination (GMI Project Area A): MCAS Cherry Point, Havelock,
NC.
Dear Roberto:
Geo- Marine, Inc. (GMI) is pleased to submit this Stream Origin Determination packet for MCAS
Cherry Point Project Area A for your review. Included in this packet are the following items:
1) Project description for MCAS Cherry Point GMI Project Area A.
2) Stream Origin Determination Methodology
3) Figures including: Subject stream origins and non - subject WoUS origins over USGS
topographic maps and USDA soil survey maps.
4) NCPLS Origins Table.
We appreciate the opportunity to work with you and the other Washington Regional Office
DWQ personnel. Please contact us if you have any questions regarding the information we have
provided.
Sincerely,

Project Description
GMI was contracted by Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Washington,
to conduct a wetland delineation and stream origin identification at Marine Corps Air Station
(MCAS) Cherry Point in project areas identified by MCAS Cherry Point. The site is located off
US Route 70 and Highway 101 in the town of Havelock, NC. NCDWQ has identified 6
intermittent stream origins and 10 perennial stream origins that are subject to the Neuse River
buffer rules in Project Area A (Figures 1 through 13 and the NCPLS Origins Table). USACE
has verified 23 additional WoUS features that are not subject to the Neuse River buffer rules in
Project Area A (Figures 1 through 13 and the NCPLS Origins Table).
Stream Origin Determination Methodology
Origins of intermittent and perennial streams were located using the Methodology for
Identification of Intermittent and Perennial Streams and Their Origins, North Carolina Division
of Water Quality (NCDWQ 2010). Project Area A was divided into four smaller areas (Al, A2,
A3, and A4) for the purposes of field verification with NCDWQ. NCDWQ and GMI staff
conducted stream origin determinations in Project Area A on April 9th, 19`h and July 6th, 2012.
All of the GMI identified USACE jurisdictional features (WoUS), which the USACE
Washington Field Office had verified on November 2"d, 2011, and February 21St, and May 29`h,
2012, were re- visited by NCDWQ and GMI. NCDWQ determined stream origins for the Neuse
River buffer subject features and verified the non - subject status of the additional USACE WoUS
features in Project Area A.
All subject stream origins and non - subject WoUS origins were NCPLS surveyed after
verification by NCDWQ and USACE. The NCPLS Origins Table provides origin
determinations of the Neuse River buffer subject and non - subject features in GMI Cherry Point
Project Area A for planning and permitting purposes and are valid for five years from the date of
NCDWQ signature.
