On -Site Determination for Applicability to the Tar - Pamlico River Riparian Area Protection Rules (15A
NCAC 2B.0259)
Dear Ms. Reed:
On January 28, 2013 at your request, Roberto Scheller of this Office conducted an on -site determination to
review a drainage feature located on the subject property for applicability to the Tar - Pamlico Buffer Rules (15A
NCAC 2B .0259). The features reviewed are labeled as "SA, SB, SC, SD, and SE" on the attached maps and
initialed by me on January 28, 2013.
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the features labeled as "SA, SB, SC, SD" on
the attached maps, and highlighted in red are not subject to the Tar Pamlico Buffer Rules. It has been
determined that the stream features, are not represented on the NRCS Pitt County Soils map or the USGS
Topographic map and therefore riparian buffers are not applicable to these features.
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the feature labeled as "SE" on the attached
maps, and highlighted in blue is subject to the Tar Pamlico Buffer Rules. It has been determined that the
upstream features of this drainage have been piped underground. The riparian buffers begin at the pipe outlet,
located in a wooded area north of West 3rd Street (N 35° 37' 02.61" W 77° 23' 29.39 "), and continues down
gradient into the Tar River as shown on the attached maps.
This letter only addresses the applicability to the buffer rules and does not approve any activity within the
buffers, Waters of the United States or Waters of the State. If you have any additional questions or require
