On-Site Inspection of Root Mass
Dear Mr. Watts:
DWQ Project # 2007-1030
Wake County
On June 12, 2007, at your request, Amy Chapman conducted an on-site inspection of the
Southeast Prong of Beaverdam Creek to determine if the root mass from a fallen tree needed to
be removed from the stream bank. It was apparent during the inspection that the root mass was
actually holding the stream bank in place and that the stream flow was not impeded by the root
mass. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the root mass should not be
removed.
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 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.
