On -Site Determination for Applicability to the Neuse River Riparian Area Protection Rules (15A NCAC 2B
.0233)
Dear Pastor Richardson:
On August 5, 2013, at your consultant request Mr. J. Stephen Janowski, PE of J.S. Janowski Engineering,
P.A., Anthony Scarbraugh conducted an on -site determination to review unnamed tributary (UT) to
Dawson Creek located on the subject property for applicability to the Neuse Buffer Rules (15A NCAC 2B
.0233). The feature is labeled as "13- 0811" on the attached map initialed by Mr. Scarbraugh on August
5, 2013. The project is located at 3398 Janeiro Drive near Oriental, Pamlico County, NC.
At your consultant's request, Mr. Scarbraugh conducted on -site determination as stated above. During
his review, he evaluated the feature using the DWR Stream Classification Form. He evaluated the
stream reach 13 -0811 at N 34.99580, W 76.75025 and found evidence that these are man -made
features not constructed for the purposes of navigational access.
The Division of Water Resources (DWR) has determined that the portion of the feature labeled as "13-
0811" on the attached map, and highlighted in red is not subject to the Neuse Buffer Rules. The
feature and its associated buffers should be identified on any future plans for this property. The owner
(or future owners) should notify the DWR (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.
