Dear Mr. Heidenreich:
On July 26, 2013 at your request Mr. Roberto Scheller of this Office conducted an on -site determination of a drainage
feature located on the west side of Flemming School Road (SR 1419) for applicability to the Tar - Pamlico Buffer Rules
(15A NCAC 2B .0259). The feature is labeled as "13 -0774 A to 13 -0774 B" on the attached maps and initialed on July
26, 2013.
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has determined that the feature labeled as 1113 -0774 A to 13 -0774 B" on the
attached maps, and highlighted in red is not subject to the Neuse Buffer Rules. The stream determination begins at
the outlet of a roadway culvert located at point 13 -0774 A (N 35° 39.473' W 77° 23.503') and continues down gradient to
a second point labeled 13 -0774 B (N 35° 39.513' W 77° 23.756'). All points have been marked on the ground with
yellow DWQ flagging.
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
